IN concluding the UrIef review OF the
industrial development which has
taken place since 1860, the reader
must De impressed with the results
watch have followed the commercial
policy which we have pursued. So
! aplu has been the growth, so great
/ the increase, so wonderful the changes,
| so immense and marvellous the grand
i result, that it is no longer appropriate
/ to compare the United states with any
other nation or country. Only a COM
/ parison with all the rest of the world
combined will give a rue and proper
7 estimate OF our country's position
ana worth.
Inc population Of the earth is eSti-
mated by the most reputable statistl-
clans at 1,500,0O0,000. The population
of the United States is now about TO-
000, 900. 1t will be seen, therefore,
that we have considerable less than
one-twentieth of the inhabitants of
+ the globe. According TO a careful estl-
mate made by Speaker Reed, we are
equal as consumers a market for
our own and the worlds production
compared with the rest of the world,
to 700, 0G0, coo people. According to
Mulhall's Dictionary OF Statistics, we
manufacture one-third of the world
product, that is, One-hal1 as much as
all the world outside of ourselves. We
use all our manufactures or their
equivalents at home We consume one
fourth OF all the sugar produced in the
! world, One-third of all the coffee
one-third OF all the iron and steel
one-QuaTter OF all the cotton, one
third OF all the wool, nearly one-half
Of all the coal, One-haIf of all the tin
plate, one-third OF all the meat, ana
0ne-third OF all the grain. We RAISE
twice as much cotton and ten times as
MuCn corn as the remainder of the
world put together. We produce one
lhIrd OF the worlds production of sod
and silver. We have one-hau of The
railroads on the face Of the earth. we
grant twice as many patents annually
as all the rest Of the world OnG-thlrd
the wealth daily accumulated by the
whole world is acquired by the UniLed
STATES. While the debt of the rest of
the world increased during the decade
from 1880 to 1890 over 81 goo, 900, 900,
the debt of the United States during the
same period decreased by exactly that
amount. The per capita debt of the
rest Of the world in 1890 was $32. IS;
ours only $14.24, less than one-half.
And best OF all, there are more farms
and homes owned by the working
men Of the United States today than
are owned by all the laborers of the
rest of the world combined.

Wages per diem

Average, Tor years given, respective
ly, according to Importance, for all
occupations, 1860 being reckoned as
less 100: ST. 92.7 100 1886
1t will be seen that the plasterers got
$3.50 per day, or $21 per week in 1890
as against So to $12 per week in 1859;
blacksmiths So per day, or SIS per
week, in $780, as against S. per week
in 1859; carpenters about $12, as
against 81 to $40, Iaborers Sc to So per
month against $125 per day in 1890, and
SO on. Wages now are about the
same as in 1890.
The country was on a gold basis i'll
1910, N 1859, in 1860, and IN 1890, as it
Is today. The workingmen get more
grains of gold for their labor now thin
they did before the crime of 1873" was
perpetrated, and the money is at the
same time of greater purchasing power.
If the crime Of 1873" has had the eff
feet of approaching the money stand
ard, it certainly has not appreciated It
to the injury Of the Wage-earner.

Notes.


Wheat, in 1878, when the gold bugs
committed their nefarious crime, stood
at S1.15. The total volume of our
money is now more than three times
what it was then, and all as good as
gold. If the quantity of money cir,
culating controls the rrice of wheat
how Goes it happen that wheat has not
gone up to S3.45? Of course, increased
foreign production has nothing to do
with it,
The female hen, encouraged by the
he-male rooster, and superintendent by
the good farmers wife, besides the
eggs and Omelets eaten at home, pro-
duces more money value annually than
country. Eggs and poultry, combined
with dairy products, produce more
than wheat and cotton together How
does it happen that the price of eggs,
poultry and butter has gone up since
characterization? Why haven't the
cows gone dry and the hens ceased
their function, because of the terrible
crime of 1873?
Labor is the prime source and mea-
sure Of all values This is what almost
everybody says, but our lawyer, when
presenting his last bill, denied it. Since
the good old bimetallic days of 1860.
the wages of labor in this country-up
to the panic Of 1893-increased So per
cent, and their purchasing power Y
per cent. Why have wages not fallen,
the same as wheat and cotton? Is It
simply because we have three times as
much money in circulation, as good as
gold, to pay wages with, or because
gold has gone up, or because silver has
gone down? Maybe you can work in
one of Coins diagrams to illustrate
your explanation.
Five Facts Worthy of Daily Study:
First. There is not a free coinage
country in the world today that is no.
on a silver basis.
Second. There is not a gold stand
ard country in the world today that
does not use silver as money along
with gold.

JURIES DO NOT UNDERSTAND.
Learned Baron BramweI's Efforts %
Secure Fair Verdicts.

Learned Baron BramWelIS Efforts o
Secure Fair Verdicts.
Baron BramWell was never weary Of
denouncing the persistent unfairness
Of juries to railway companies, and ne
well knew their ability to misunder-
stand everything done and said by
judge, counsel and witnesses. With
the assistance of d special jury he once
tried at assizes an action of trespass
or ejectment, the question in dispute
being whether the lord of the manor
or an adjoining owner was entitled to
a contain strip Of land at the side Of
a road. Maps, plans and conVeyances
threw little light on the matter, and
many witnesses were called to prove
act OF ownership. One of the witnesses
was the surveyor of highways The
evidence was nicely balanced, and the
learned baron took great pains to silt
it, and to explain to the jury the effects
of the acts proved. To his surprise
they promptly and confidently, in this
obscure and difficult case, returned a
verdict for the defendant
On leaving the assize town the judge
found himself in a railway carriage
with one of the special jurymen. well,
you gentlemen he said, had no tmuch
trouble in arriving at verdict ooh,
dear, nor was the reply after your
summing up as to those acts of OWL
ership, it was quite clear to us that
the real owner OF the land was the
surveyor of highWays!' The jurymep
had not the excuse for laundering that
Baron Bramwell was long-winded aid
tedious, or that he leavened his sum-
ming up with dogmatism about mat
tiers unconnected with the business be-
fore him. He could be concise and
pithy-he could not be anything else.
In the memoir published at his death
are some instances of his tersenesS
Here is one told of him by the late
Justice Archibald. A prisoner was
tried before the baron on charge of
stealing a ham. The day was hot,
the counsel were loquacious, the audi
ence perspired, and SO did the hara,
the presence of which made itself felt
IN court as the day wore on. At last,
everyone being weary, came the
judges turn to sum up He did so
thus: There, gentlemen, is the pris-
oner; and there, gentlemen, is the han.
