BIG CROPS AND MKINLEYIsM


The Republicans are shrewdly avoid
ing all attempts to justify the deficit
from their tariff measure on the ground
that the revenue has been decreased by
imports made in anticipation OF its
passage. According to Republicans,
Congress was called together to relieve
the Treasury from a pressing danger
caused by the deficit in revenue, and it
was its duty to relieve the deficit imme-
diately, else why call the extra session?
Perhaps II the anticipatory importa-
tions had raised the revenue so as to
produce surplus, the Republicans
might claim that they had accom-
plished their object, even II there were
a slight deficit after the passage of the
tariff, for the previous surplus would
offset this deficit. But, large as the inn
ports have been, they did not prevent a
deficit for the last fiscal year, conse
quently no deficit in the present tariff
can be excused on any such grounds.
The Wilson bill was the work OF a
Congress with many matters to attend
to, and Il is only natural that such a
Legislature should make some mistake,
but the Republican Congress was called
together in extra session for the express
purpose of wiping out the deficit, and
yet refused to consider any measure of
Importance except the tariff bill The
success of the present bill will, there
fore, measure the capacity of the Re
publican party to legislate on important
questions.
There Is another reason why estimat-
ing revenue for next year instead OF
this will not help Republicans. The
tariff is professedly intended to intro
duce or at least to develop new indus
tries and as a duty develops an indus
try, the revenue from it will manifestly
fall of. If we produced a large part of
the sugar we use-and it could all be
produced on two thousand square
miles Of land-our revenue from the
sugar duties would fall to nothing
AS a matter Of fact, the passage Of
the Dingley bill has only aided the
country by establishing permanently
for four years, the extent OF its evils,
which has shown merchants what ac-
tion to take in future dealings and
thereby allowed those who felt able to
trade under the new schedules to re-
sumo business. The operation of the
new measure has had nothing whatso-
ever to do with the present growing
wave OF prosperity, as all ardent Re
publicans like to have it understood.
In this matter that the unsurpassed
yield of staple crops throughout the
union, coming at a time when European
crops are short, is responsible for the
gradual appearance of better times,
should be plain to every intelligent man
as the nose on President Mckinley S
Napoleonic face. 1t is markedly evil
dent then that the farmer has come to
the rescue of his country, preventing a
greater panic and succeeding famine
than ever threatened us before and at
the same time indirectly saving the Re-
publican party from gross humiliation
to say the least

THB BREADWINNERs INCREAsINt


Carroll d. Wright contributes to a
current magazine an interesting article
on the number Of breadwinners in this
country. He says that in 1870 there
were 12,505,923 persons engaged in sup
porting themselves and the remainder
of the people; that is to say, S2.4S per
cent. of the total population were SO
engaged. In 1880 the number of bread
winners was 1892, ,099, or 34.67 pei
cent. of the total population. In 1896
this number had risen to 22,735, ,661, ol
3631 per cent. of the total population.
BY "breadwinners" is meant all who
are engaged either as wage-earners ol
salary receivers, or proprietors o
whatever grade or description, and al
professional persons; in fact, every ont
who is in any way employed in an,
gainful pursuit. The figures quote'
show that the proportion of the tota
population thus employed is constant!
increasing. Analzying the statistics
some remarkable results are found
and in general that the number en-
gagged in the lowest walks of business
laborers and the like, is decreasing il
proportion, while those employed il
the higher walks are increasing Il
number relatively to the whole popula
tion.

A SPELLING MATCH,
IL Was n Vacation Diversion of Little
Girls who Knew Big Words.


IL Was a Vacation DiversO1 of Little
Girls Who Knew Big Words.
The stoop of the fiat house was occu-
pied by six little girls who lived in
neighboring houses. On these warm
nights people sit on their own stoops or
on somebody's else. and the girls had
taken possession of the first untenanted
one they saw. They were from five to
seven years old, and their chatter could
be heard half way down the block.
Their dresses had been whitehall is,
before playing in the street had soiled
them; but the girls sat on the dustiest
step on a very dusty stoop as If they
didn't care. Their mothers had to wash
the dresses, anyway, and not they, so
they didn't think about it.
Presently some one who lived in the
house came downstairs. He made but
little noise, and for several minutes
stood behind the little intruders, quiet
ly listening to them. Then one of the
girls saw him and said something to
the others, and they all got up as if they
were going to run off.
Don't go away" the newcomer said.
I'll let you sit on the stoop."
"Are you the landlord?" one of them
asked.
"Notyet," he answered, with thoughts
that they knew not of. He had 80 cents
in his pocket and much less in bonds
and banks and houses.
What are you then?"
Hes a gambler"
NO; he isn't, Jennie Farrell. He's a

That was received with immense IA
vor. One little tot began with:
'S-i-d-e-w-a-l-k-sid
Then, to the mans astonishment, the
contest ran up into something like 4

''E7l-e-p-h-a-n-t-elephant."

Their examiner was not saying a
word, but was watching their eager
faces, flushed with excitement.
"C-o-n-s-t-a-n-t-i CONSTANT, NO, no
Constantine, p-l-e-Constantinople."
An ominous silence fell over the lit
tie group there on the step in the even
ing, 100 feet from the noise of Eighth
avenue. The man who lived in the
house reached for the cent. As he took
it out a seven-year-old almost climbed
up to his neck as she announced loud
ly:

"Then she spelled: "I-n-c-o-m-p-r-e
