THE LOW PRICE OF COFFEE.
An Annual saving of s4O.OOO,OOO in
Our Favor.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The farmer who is not happy this
year must be a very ill-conditioned sort
of person. Big crops and good prices
are not all he has to be thankful for.
The staple luxury of his table, coffee,
is so cheap that it must be a very poor
farmer, indeed, who cannot afford to
drink the eXhilarating beverage with
out stint. The proceeds of bushel of
wheat viii now buy twice as many
pounds of coffee as in some former
years when wheat was worth even 20
cents to so cents a bushed more than
at present. No coffee Is quoted un-
der 6 cents pound at importing points
the lowest price on record, excepting
possibly that in 1882.
Large profits heretofore when prices
ruled high greatly stimulated the coffee
industry. The areas of production
were much extended; and as the young
trees are now beginning to bear the
yield is becoming excessive. The next
crop promises to be even larger than
that of this year. 1t is stated that
much of the new growth will yield its
first berries next season. 1t is, there
fore, probable that for some time to
come we shall have an abundance Of
coffee, and at prices that will not only
gladden. the farmers, but also the
hearts of all the good housewives in the
land; and experts say that it's quality
will be superior, as the young trees
yield better product than do the old
ones. These assurances should also be
comforting to those who count the
country's income and outgo, and who
are anxious about trade balances. This
country buys annually more than 4,000,-
900 bags of coffee, which in times quite
recent cost 100000, 900 to 100000, 900 more
than it is costing now. In other words
we may now keep at home that much
gold, or an equal value in products,
which we formerly sent abroad in part
settlement of our coffee bills; or we
may sell the usual surplus and get
that much cash.
Coffee is but one Of the many import
ant articles of import we are now buy
ing at low and greatly reduced prices,
and which are telling factors in the eX-
traurdinary foreign trade balance ac-
circulating in our favor. This infu-
ence is OF greater consequence than is
generally supposed. Large exports of
breadstuffs and increased sales abroad
of the products of our mills, with due
allowance for decreased quantity of
imports, do not account for monthly
balances exceeding 100000, 900. We are
selling to these countries an unusual
amount of many articles, some of them
at good prices; on the other hand, we
are buying less from them than usual
But of still greater moment in the long
run is the fact that many things we
buy cost less than formerly, and will
probably remain cheap indefinitely. II
in the future the prices OF grain shall
be lower and the demand less, we may
accept the situation with better grace
and less anxiety so long as coffee and
sugar and many other important ar
ticles of import can be obtained at
present low values.

bounding upward at the opening, reacted
over point but closed with a substan-
tial gain. Pennsylvania was conspicu-

vance in the stock of it's subsidiary COM
pany, Pittsburg Cleveland Cincinnati,
Chicago and st. Louis, is pointed to as an
evidence of closer relations to come.
General Electric, Lake Erie and western

POLITICAL DRIET

Several men with fairly good quail
fications would like to represent Wyo-
ming county in the state legislature
next season. Among the possible cam
didates are Hon. S. r. Brunges, who
served his constituency well in that
capacity at the last session: James L.
Frear, ESQ.,. one of Tunkhannock's af-
fable attorneys, and Charles Gardner,
OF Factoryville. The latter is said not
10 be actually in the race. however.
owing to the fact that one of his neigh
bors is an asDirant for the office of
county treasurer.
James +. Harpe, who wears crutches
as result of a recent fall. announces
that he will run for the office of county
treasurer. Being little lame. he
starts early.
