uation that portion Of this great sum
isrequired for enlarging and repair
ing buildings and grounds. The
amount SO used may reach 100000
There is still left more than half a
million dollars to account for. OF
this vast sum there Is derived from
the university fund proper about
$4,000. and from the agricultural
college fund about $4,000. All the
balance-near $780, 00.-comes direct
from the state treasury. Although
the. greater part Of 1t flows into the
treasury as railroad license and from
like sources, 1t is none the less the
peoples money.
1t is safe to estimate that not five

the university annually costs, and its
management has profitted by the
general ignorance. II ever any large

Of the needs of the university" when

fallible wisdom and unselfish phi
lanthropy of its management will be
less easily squelched as IAN enemy

Wages Not Up To 1892.

The American Economist has been
compiling some interesting statistics
regarding wages and consumption,
IL has tables in detail showing that
in 1895 the average rate Of wages paid
Ivy 500 manufacturing concerns max
ing reports was Is per cent. less than
in 1892, aud that in 1890 they em-
ployed 26,4I7 hands less than I'M 1892.
Five hundred factories Is not a great
number, but the returns made by
them probably show the general
trend Of industries after 1892 as nc
curately rs closer census could. An
examination Of the details presented
by the Economist shows that the
whole field is we'll represented in its
tables, for it embraces the copper and
some other industries which were
abuormally prosperous even during
the period Of greatest depression. Il
IL fully corroborated by the statis-
ties OF production and consumption
during the past two years, which
show conclusively that Il great many
people We're thrown out Of employ
nent; aud whenever that happens
wages arc certain d ~ reduced. The
value of the Economists showing
consists in the fact that it brings out
very plainly that the recent widely
proclaimed recovegies in the rate OF
wages, which were often spoken Of
as increases, did not restore labor to
the status Of 1892, but that there has
been distinct average loss of II per
cent. since that date.

IL 1893 We imported l3,047,6i2 lines
OF pearl buttons. In 1895 we imported
lS.537,0I9 lines. Americans, under
the German tariff, were deprived Of
the work that could have been uti!i-

buttons. The amount ~ duty col
lected on foreign pearl buttons in
1893 was $295.245. In 1896 il was $24l,-

Not our government, not our work

examinations were everything to be
