Mr. Chas. B. Spahr of Columbia university has
recently examined the records of the Surrogates
of 35 counties in the State of New York, covering
the last three months of 1898 and including the
counties of New York and Kings, the richest in
the State. The results are remarkable show
ing how few pc pie leave any estates at all and
the low average values of the estates left.
Out of 900 persons over 25 years of age dy
ing during the quarter, only
sS5 left estates equal to or exceeding $1,000
1906 averaging 1899
6Gf9 d" valued at 5000
Think of i'll Less than per cent were worth
5000 and less than 25 per cent were worth 1892
when they died. The conclusion is that whether
9l15 out of every 10000 leave an estate of $4,000
or not depends upon whether they have life insur-
ance for that amount or not

STILL INCREASING.
Exports and Manufactures Growing Under
 the Wilson TariY.

the Wilson Tariff.
 At the risk of infringing on their pa tience we must again ask: What have our high tariff friends to say now of the effect of the Wilson bill ofl the manu- featuring business of this country? Are they still of the opinion that American mills and factories will not be able to meet European competition in their home territory? The new law has been in force about year, and what is the result? The cotton mills of New Eng land and the south are all running. The weekly output of our iron furnaces has for couple of months been larger than 1t was at any period under the McKin- ley bill. The hourmills of the country are buster now than they ever were before. Our woodworking establish ments are behind in their work and steel manufacturers have orders enough ahead to keep them busy for months. The same is true of our woolen mills tobacco factories and manufacturing establishments generally.
 Trade has been stimulated and manu- lecturers are exceptionally busy in con sequence. They have been able to meet European competition, not only in the United States, but in other countries as we'll and even in Europe Our exports of manufactures have been Increasing steadily for several months. The only exception was in June. They were smaller that month than in May, but larger than in any other month of the year. They were larger, too, than in June, 1894. From little over SIP 1000, ,000 in February-about the same as in the corresponding month of last year-they have increased steadily month by month, not counting May, when our foreign trade was so excep- tionally heavy that increase in the sue oeeding month could not be looked for. . gain that month of about g SOC, ,000 over the sales of our surplus manufac- turers in the corresponding month of last year. As stated in that dispatch, our exports for the year to September l amounted to Sl29, ,440, ,s64. as compared with sl1s,050, 145 in the first eight months of 1894. If the same percent age of increase is kept xp to the end of the year, the total for 1895 will foot up nearly sl95, 5,000, ,000, or S10, ,000, ,000 more than our exports of manufactures in the best fiscal year of the Mckinley period.
 Our manufacturers certainly have no reason to complain of the results of democratic legislation on the tariff.

PROSPERITY AND PRICES.
The Democratic Tariff Reduces the Cost

The Democratic Tariff Reduces the Cost
 of Necessaries.
 When the southern cotton crop aud the western cereals now coming for ward are actually marketed the coun- try has in prospect season of great and substantial prosperity. It prom ises to extend not only to manufactur- ing regions where the activity in iron and the textiles is bringing in money, but to the agricultural communities whose trade does so much to increase the comfort of the residents of all the great cities.
 It is not to be expected that the Trib- une should feel satisfied with such a situation, but it is useless for it to at- tempt to ignore the fact that our ex- ports for eight months this year show a gain of eleven million three hundred and thirty thousand dollars. This is in spite of the home-market idea that we ought not to try to trade with foreign CTS, but us 1t is bringing money into the country and helping to make Me Kinley calamity campaign impossible the Tribune will have to take 1t into consideration.
 1t will also have to take into consid- eration the proximity of the business like announcements in its advertising columns to the columns in which it gives its own unbusinesslilge views of the tariff.
 As every one knows, the Mckinley bill was drawn to increase taxes and decrease revenues. It made duties high to prevent importation. Having discovered that the annual revenue from the Wilson bill amounts to two dollars and thirty-six cents per capita, against only one dollar and ninety cents per capita under the higher du- ties of the Mckinley bill, the Tribune makes the preposterous assertion that this increase is drawn from the pock- cts of the people,"
 In the very next column, however, it bill prices. and in doing so utterly re- flutes it's claim that the increase in rev enue is an increase in taxes. Wher un- der the Mckinley law did it ever offer at seventy-three cents yard such "body Brussels carpet with border" as it is now offering? When under republican tariff duties did it ever invite the pub- lie to buy suit of cheviot for ten dol lars as it is doing now?
 Instead of doing anything of the kind it contended that "a cheap coat makes cheap lnan." That was ab- surd but logical McKinleyism, and it will either have to go back to it or re- fuse to take advertisements offering the public low-tariff bargains at Will son-bill prices.-N. Y. World

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

MT. Harrisop's own city having gone pell-mell for the democrats, an other interview from Col. John c. New is now about due-Louisvill Courier Journal.
 There is manifest reason to be- lieve that Indiana Is not in favor of a third nomination for the presidency, even when it means only a second term.-St.Loui Globe Democrat (Rep. ).
 -Democrats are coming out of the woods in droves with the advent of good times. There was a change of seven thousand votes in the democratic direction in two years in Indianapolis St. Paul Globe.
 The democratic party has been gaining in strength ever since the tide of prosperity set in. The rank and file are getting back to their moorings and in 1896 another democratic tidal wave will sweep over the country. -Arkan- sas Gazette.
 B. Harrisons political shrewd- ness seems to be in good state of pres ervation, whatever else may be said of him. He has inspired a public senti- ment that he does not wish to be held responsible in any way for the McKin- ley bill.-Chicago Tribune (Rep.).
 A crossroads republican organ in Ohio oracularly ayers that the i'm provement of business is due to the prospect of the triumphant election of William Mckinley as president in 1896 and we guess that it's claim is about as near right as the vaunt of it's repub- lican contemporaries that the better times are the result of the election last year of republican congress which will not meet until next December = Lansing Journal.
 The McKinleyites have finally stated the case as they understand it They will demand in the republican platform of 1896 a general revision oi the tariff, but no increase, except that the duty on wool shall be restored They will go into the campaign on a platform of higher prices for clothing carpets and hats and caps. A plat form and candidate running on the issue of higher prices for necessaries ot life will not get far in the campaign Chicago Chronicle.
 When the returns are all in from the elections four weeks hence the republicans will probably realize tha, victory in 1s96 will not be quite SC easy to achieve as many republican statesmen and newspapers have beer predicting. The notion that they car elect anybody, on any sort of plat form, next year, which has been preva lent in some republican circles is ab surd and misehievous, and the quicxe, the party gets rid of it and takes an in telligent view of the situation the bet ter it will feel after the election thir teen months hence.

plscouNTlNG DISASTER
Republicans Foreboding Trouble in Ohio
 This Fall


 Republican organs throughout the country chat have some political shrewdness and foresight are already apologizing for what they anticipate in Ohio this fall. They have seen the handwriting on the wall and they are preparing to let themselves down as lightly as possible when the predicted calamity comes It is their mature con- clusion that there will be dispropor- tionately large falling off in the repub- lican majority in McKinley's own state. This concession reflects credit upon their judgment, but is made with view to meeting the inevitable with some grace and equanimity when it Is en- countered. It goes for the saying that they carefully avoid the truth in deal ing with this matter and adopt theory least shocking to their own sensibil- ftiea
 The claim made by these men dis counting political futures is that the fight in Ohio is between Foraker and anti-Foraker clements. Adopting this proposition without offering the slight est evidence of its correctness, the as- sertion is made that Foraker is not so strong a vote-getter as Mckinley, that the fire-eater does not deserve the con- spicuous place he is given in the strug- gle and that the republican campaign managers are making costly mistake in permitting him to occupy it. On his shoulders is placed responsibility for the deluge that is confidently looked for. This is cool and impudent pro cedure. In every campaign speech Foraker and all his helpers insist that the relations between himself and Gov. Mckinley are of the most cordial char acter. So far as their utterances and their actions indicate they are working in unison and accord. Bushnell wants to be governor, Mckinley wants to be president and Foraker wants to be United States senator. For them to pull apart would be to deliberately weaken the chances of each member of the trio.
 The anti-Foralxer faction has always been the Mckinley following and for the little Napoleon to weaken his party in his own state would be blunder of which even he is incapable. The truth is the masses are recovering from the re- lapse which gave the republicans the benefit of their last tidal wave. Re suits of democratic administration have vindicated the principles that have guided it. The people have warmed to national policy that issues to their benefit and shuts out the greedy power which was directing legislation for the further centralization of wealth. They cannot resist the logic of better times, more work, higher wages, greater busi- ness activity and general prosperity that reaches to every nook and corner of the land. There will be a tremend- ous falling off in the republican ma jority of Ohio because improved condi- tions have been making democrats; be- cause republicans are seeing the light, and because they have in ex-Gov. Campbell such man of the people as they delight to honor.-Detroit Free Press

Penitentiary Lessees Compromise.

The case of the state of Arkansas against the James R. Miller estate was compromised at Little Rock recently by the defendant paying the state S27, 900. The Arkansas Industrial Co.,, :, of which the late James R. Miller was president, was for ten years lessee of the Arkansas peniten tiary. Some time before the state abolished the lease system it was alleged that the lessee lost control of a number of convicts on account of legislative action When the lease expired the lessees was in- debted to the state in the sum of S33,- 900. which, together with the interest, made $40,00O. This was the sum sued for.
