ideal for skating purposes. The rain
fell upon an already thick covering Of
ice, sufficiently so to prevent danger
of accident, and has now frozen over
again into natural looking glass, with
a surface like the highest polished

Stealing of Packing From Car
Journals

The eight boys arrested for stealing
packing from the journals of freight
cars on the Great Northern road, had
a. trial in the police court yesterday.
The detectives Of the road explained
to the court that while the pecuniary
loss by reason Of the theft did not
amount to much, there was danger that
accidents might occur from the removal
of the packing which would involve
loss of life and destruction of valu-
able property. The boys took the waste
from the journals and kept fire in a
small shack which they had erected
near Rice street. They were much
scared over their position and at the
suggestion Of their parents, were re-
primanded and discharged.

these there are others who, classed as
common laborers, work upon the farms
ut least a part Of the year, and still 9th
ers who are constantly engaged IN con-
verting the crude products Of the soil in
| to finished products for distribution or
export Edward Atkinson, indeed, esti-
mates that fully half Of the workers Of
the country are occupied either in agri-
culture or in processes directly dependent
thereon What hope is there that the
country as a whole can be prosperous
till these large classes are prosperous!
But prosperity has not been theirs for
the last few years, as everybody knows,
and the lack OF it has left them with COM
paratively little money to spend now.
In the extremely valuable report recent
" issued by Mr.. Powers Of the MINES
ota bureau of labor it is shown from
well assured figures that the cash re-
ceipts Of farmers at the farm prices Of
crops i'm 1895 were less by $3.50, 100000
than their receipts for the crops of 1891.
That indicates the extent to which the
purchasing power Of half the population
has been impaired. They have been
forced to use their old wagons and tools
instead Of buying new ones to forego
luxuries and to buy fewer necessities such
as household goods and clothing. That
coupled with comparative inability to sell
abroad because OF tariff restrictions, is
the real cause of the depression in our
manufacturing industries during the last
few years
And it is obviously not a cause that
can be removed in a breath, by the mere
restoration of confidence in the future.
1t is going to take some time, at the best,
for the farmers to recover the ground they
have lost: and their first expenditures
will necessarily be confined within GER
tain narrow limits, such as the renewal
of their worn ont tools for the purpose Of
doing more effective work now that the
promise Of it's reward is better. Conf
dence is all very well for starting up
enterprises that look to the future, like
the building of railways and the enlarge
ment of manufacturing plants, but whole
sale and retail trade must wait till the
farmers have some surplus cash in their
pockets once more.

a thousand have this. To cure this alone

Why should we vex ourselves with con-

life and health: a bad one is disease and

the principles which make the Shaker Di-

WHY THE BOOM IS DELAYED.
People Forget That the Farmers are at
the Bottom of Industry and Business.

(From the Providence Journal.)
The general testimony of current trade
reports is that business is still duh, or at
any rate is not booming as it was hoped
it would be by this time; and there are
evidences of some disappointment in
consequence. The prosperity that was
expected to follow the triumph of right
principles at the polls is not yet mater
ializing in any large way. Nevertheless,
there is no reason why any man should
by disappointed with the present situa-
ton who understands the fundamental
conditions Of prosperity in this country.
Confidence has been re-estabHshed in con-
siderable measure, it is true, and plans
for the future are being rapidly put into
shape. But that does not put money in
the pockets Of the farmers, and until the
latter are better able to buy than they
are now we have no right to expect that
general business will be really brisk
1t is remarkable how prone most peo-
pie are to overlook the dependence of us
all, and consequently of the country's
prosperity on the agricultural classes.
