was 426 731 900 bushels; for 1894, 1850 121 900
bushels. That is. the worlds crop Of 1884
706. o000 900 bushels in excess of the av-
erage crop for the decade 1s71-s0, or within
small fraction of 40 per cent The in
crease of population in the countries using
wheat has not been over one-fourth of that
percentage. Take sugar: The production
of beet sugar has become a great industry
in Europe since 1870. In Germany alone the
beet sugar output was 700. 600 pounds in
1s75-76, but in 1s90-91 it was 5000, 000, 600
pounds. The sugar made of beets consti-
tutes more of the sugar of commerce than
that made of cane. The worlds sugar
supply has been doubled in twenty-feur
years. Take pig iron: In 1866 the output
of the United States was 1,205, 900 tons, but
in 1891 it had increased to s PIG, 900 tons. In
Great Britain the production of 1866 was
4153.O0o tons, and in 1891 it 100000
tons. Thus the product of the two great
iron producing countries was nearly tripled.
In 1870 the product OF cotton in this coun-
try 3,122,551 bales of 44o pounds each;
in 1885, 9,746,435 of 474 pounds each-showing
that very nearly four times many
pounds of cotton were raised in 1895 in
1870
1t must occur to intelligent people that
the immense increase in the volume of
productions must have been the leading
cause for the fall in prices thereof That
conviction will be strengthened when it is
noted that the larger the ratio of the in
creased production, the greater has been
the fall in prices.
1t can be added that the price of labor
in the great industries has advanced dur
ing the last twenty-four years In Germany,
Great Britain and France, as well in
the United States. If il were true that
values measured by gold We're affected by
q scarcity, wages woul,. have fallen in all
the countries named. The volume of legal
tender coin has increased in the world very
considerably since 1870, while the
chinery for economizng the use of money
has enabled one dollar to do the work of
three or four as long ago as 1850.

THE AUcTIONEER QUESTION.
MIR. TOrrey Gives His Interpretation
of the Ordinance.

City Solicitor Torrey yesterday sub
mitted to Mayor Bailey his interpreta-
ton of the somewhat ambiguous auc-
tioneers license ordinance. Mr.. Torrey
holds that the license is a personal priv.
ilege and can not be peddled any more
than can a liquor license or any other
like privilege. A licensed auctiOneer
however, according to Mr.. Torrey's
view, need not cOnfine himself to one
particular place of business.
The question was raised by p
Waldron the horse dealer who was ar
rested last Friday for auctionina
horses without license. Mr.. Waldron
when brought before the mayor the
next day put in the defense that he
was a deputy of Auctioneer T.. NJ
Strong. and was acting under Mr.
Strong's license.
The ordinance was appealed to but
as it was ambiguous in this instance
the city solicitor was called in for an
opinion. He took the matter under ad-
visement and yesterday at a conference
in the mayors office at which Mr.
Waldron and Mr.. Strong We're present
he gave them the construction noted
above.

Saturday night the enthusiastic Re-
publicans of the county will celebrate
Tuesdays glorious victory by a great
demonstration in this city. At first II
was the intention to have the parade
tonight, but the time was deemed too
short to make adequate preparations
and Saturday night was therefore Sc
lected.
In the rooms of the Central Republi-
can club last night a meeting was held,
at which Il was formally decided 10

decided upon as the time. Colonel T..
II Ripple will be the grand marshal.

Alderman Millar presided over the
meeting and in opening 1t said 1t had
been suggested that a demonstration be
held in honor of Tuesdays victory and
the representatives of the various Re-
publican clubs had been called together
to decide whether or not such step
was advisable. He was of the opinion
that the demonstration, If held at all,
should be at once.
ON motion of l.. d. Swartz it was de-
cided to have a parade and another
motion made by George w. Brown fixed
Saturday night az the time. Colonel +.
H. Ripple was afterwards selected as
grand marshal, with power to name his
aids and make such arrangements as
he deems necessary.

to join in it, whether they are uniform

works and plenty of noise. Citizens
who desire to Join the parade, but are
not identified with any club are re-
| quested to fall in with the club from
their vicinity or the Central Republi-
can club. The unattached voters of the
West Side who want to parade are in
vited by the West Side Central Repub-
lican club to join with them.
In view of the unparalleled Republic
can vote cast by the West Side Tues
day 1t was the opinion of many of those
at the meeting. informally expressed,
that the parade should visit that part
of the city. When the line of march is
made up a number of West Side streets
will undoubtedly be included.
Another meeting will be held in the
Central Republican club rooms tonight.
at which final preparations for the
parade will be made and the line of
march mapped out.
