BEGGAkY.

A correspondent of the Reno Jour-
nal gives the following facts for agri-
cultnrists TO ponder over:
Recent reports of the Department
Of Agriculture show that the decline
in the prices Of the products of the
farm that we're 80 manifest in the
years 1893 and 1894 continued through
1895. The Department bulletin
shows the following changes:
In 1890 the total value OF the three
staple products, corn, wheat and oats,
was 81, 311, OOO.OtO; in 1892 sl,l73, O0O,-
600 and In 1895 it had fallen to $780,
O00,009 or a difference between the
value of the crops in 1890 and 1895 of
$344,O0O,0OO. This vast difference is
not caused by the lessened production
Of these products, for there has been
gain III the number of bushels pro-
duced, but by the appreciation OF the
value Of money through the destruc-
ton of nearly one-half of the peoples
money by the demonstration of sill
YER.
Thegross product of 100 acres of the
cereals mentioned, in 1890 averaged
1913, while in 1895 it averaged but
1868.
Nor has it Jared any better with
stock raised on the farm as the De-
partment bulletin states that the
value of stock has decinedi in an equal
ratio.
1t il evident that the farmen's prof
it is all gone and that the agricultural
classes have become industrial slaves,
whose toll is given TO enrich the
bondholders and the moneyed class
es.
When we ask, will the people of
America awake and throw off this IL
nancial incubus that rests upon them
Like u nightmare and usher in the
dream of the old prosperity which
Americans enjoyed previous to the
criminal legislation which demone-
tlzed silver?

HOUSE
The House has been engaged to-day
on the Rinaker- Browning election
contest, and will vote after o'clock.
The result is doubtful, as the Repub-
ican majority is not united.
COMMITTEE WORK
The Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations to-day considered Morgan's
joint resolution recognizing the
belligerency Of the Cubans, but ac-
ton was postponed until the next
meeting.
Morgan explained at some length
his reason for offering the resolution
in a form which would, il adopted by
Congress, require the action Of the
President, saying he felt the time had
arrived when the American govern
ment as a whole should declare its
position He laid stress upon the
condition Of American citizens in
Cuba, and urged that action be taken
on this, il no other account.

CHEAP LIVING IN JAPAN.

is cotton.

toes IS cents for the same amount AMI
teal ducks IL cents apiece; fish, how
at the amount Of cucumbers these peo-
pie consume, and q large basketfui
costs but cents.
Making gods is a remunerative trade,
and they are sold at all prices, from 5000
to 81, and in all materials, from gold to
implanted wood. !4a4N t.@.3
Paper lanterns furnish another occu-
patton, and the prices range from Is
cents to SIS.

fee for license is 81 a year.
The Japanese are preiudiced against
the manufacture of quack medicines,
and the license to make them Is So y

much to sell them. .,g.
Blind men make a good living by

even the poorest Japanese will not
forego. It consists in a Shaping and

Schoolhouses cost from $500 to 81 200.
but the latter price is much above the
average. Native teachers are appointed
by the government, but their salary de-
rends upon fees and voluntary contri-
buttons; these are from half penny TO
three half pence monthly for each
pupil, according to the means of the
parents. There are 10 grades of teach
ers, and they are said to receive 81 a
month. r..
Teachers of English receive 5000 a

A foreigner, if he wishes to hire "a
house, can do so at cost Of $40 or So
month and can hire q man servant
who will do all the housework for SIS II

The biggest and strongest man in
Maine, John Moriarty, a lumberman,
died recently, of typhoid fever, at Old

Notwithstanding his great weight, he

Boston is about to make an expert
ment in high liquor license. Sixty
hotels will be called on to pay $4,000
each instead of 81, 500, as formerly, and
the tax of retail dealers will be $1,000
each. These are said to be the highest
licenses yet required in this country.

The tickets for the Third Commissioner
district, the lower portion Of this city
are now being printed The name of the
Tax ticket appears as Lewis n. Slaughter,
what effect the error will have is to be
decided. The question is whether votes
for Slaughter would count for
"Slaughter. In the Presidential
electors ticket the regular ticket has
tho name of James G. Shaw"
whereas the Union Republican ticket
has James G. Shaw, ST." Both
factions are back of the same Shaw, yet
there may be question as to how the
respective votes would be counted.

and it has given to the laborer a liveli-
hood higher and better than is afforded
him in any other country Of the world.
Is this all to be changed? Ia social
chaos, gloating over ruins, to be the
method OF social elevation of the massesY
There may tie room in some things for
peaceful amelioration through q we'll
informed public opinion and orderly
legislation, but class hatred and angry
passion never lead to aught but general
misery and suffering. The people OF
America must to-day Look warily
around, guard against catchwords and
misleading war cries, avoid giving
cUuntenance to socialistic or anarrhistic
tendencies. and know that the utmost
condition Of prosperity to any and all
classes of the people is a peaceful COM
monwealth and assured social order.
The monetary question is, indeed, q
secondary issue OF this. campaign. l
have, however, my convictions in this
matter. The free and unlimited coin
age of silver at ratio Of 16 to l, inde-
pen1ently Of the other great commercial
nations, into dollars which shall be
made legal tender will disturb the
whole business Of the country and
bring upon it financial depression far
beyond anything which We are now ex-
perienciDg.
The Archbishop discusses the pamph-
let of Archbishop Walsh on bimetal-
lism, and says it has no bearing on the
situation in America, adding:
The question before the peuple OF
America to-day is the coinage Of silver
by this country independently OF the
great commercial nations Of the world
at the ratio Of 16 to /. The boast that
the United States is able alone to
whip England and the rest OF tho
world into the coinage of silver ut l6
tn l, or to force the value Of silver up
to 81. go an ounce, is mere nonsense.
We are great people, indeed. but We
have not yet grown to that commercial
strength that our country means the
commercial world. Herr Bismarck
counselled the United States to go
| ahead and make the experiment all
Alone Yes, and some Americans quote
| his advice as an authority. The sly
old fox would, indeed. be pleased to
see America make tbs experiment and
| go to the bottom of the sea.
| i am absolutely convinced that the
laboring classes will suffer the most OF
all from free silver coinage. But will
not the farmers be beneiitedY Will
| they not receive higher price for
their products? May be higher price.
but not a higher value. OF what use
is it to have dollar instead of half
dollar II the dollar can purchase no
more than the half-dollar? may OF
course be mistaken. But have come
to look upon the present agitation as
the great test of universal suffrage and
| popular sovereignty. Can the people
defend public honor and the institu-
tions OF the country at the polls, as
they have done on the field Of battle2
Can they be SO calm and deliberate In
their judgment, so careful to weigh all
things ID the scale of reason, and to
avoid all rash experiments. that they
can be trusted with the settlement OF
grave social and political problems2
That is the question that is before us
at the present moment. i
