New Use for oIlcloth.

0ilcloth is the new material for pa
pering ceilings, the term paper" be-
ing used at present in very elastic
sense, signifying anything that can be
put on walls or ceiling, The advan-
tage Of an oilcloth ceiling is readily
discernible, as dust, like good actions,
Is sure to rise, and if ones home Is IL
Illuminated by gas Or lamps there is only
the recourse to the unsightly chande-
lier protectors to keep the ceiling from
getting smudged The oilcloth can be
washed frequently and be kept, by the
aid of damp cloth, as good as new for
infinite spaces Of time or until one
moves to a newer apartment. The task
Of putting on the oileloth requires an
expert, as the joining is not the easiest
thing to do. If you think so, try it..
The patterns of ,ilcloths seem partic-
ularly well adapted for ceilings, with
their scroll and line effects, which do
not conflict with the patterns of the
wall paper or its rnonochromatic effect.

Wages at Home and Abroad.

A Boston manufacturers organ, after
making an exhaustive comparison Of
the wages paid in cotton mills in Eng
land and the United States, is forced
to admit that English weavers are as
we'll paid as American, and in many
cases better paid" The same paper
also finds that it costs the English
manufacturer more for spinning than
the Americana! And yet our cotton
manufacturers must be highly protect
ed against the products of the English
manufacturer, and our operatives must
be protected against the "pauper Ia.
Dor" that Is getting better wages than
they are! These are only added evil
dences that we are reaching or have
reached European conditions, the in
evitable result of the adoption of Eu-
ropean system of money.

PRODUCTION, CONSUMPTION
Some False Assumptions and self-Evldent
Propositions.

1t is often urged that business must
be good and everybody prosperous be-
cause we as nation can and have pro-
duced so much, in the way of agricul-
tural products and manufactured az
ticles. Production of itself cannot
make business for any length Of time,
unless there is sufficient outlet for
that production in the way Of con-
sumption. The farmer does not make
money, and cannot purchase supplies,
no matter how many bushels of wheat
per acre he has raised, until a market
for that wheat is found and it is turned
into money. Nor can the manufacturer
make a profit by mere production, II
he could all that would be needed in
q dull period would be to start his ma
chinery and forthwith he would be-
come wealthy. These propositions are
so self-evident that it seems a. waste
of space to present them, but as long
as false assumptions are put forward
as facts 1t will be necessary to COM
bat them. The same people who are
now pointing to our ability to produce
as an evidence of our prosperity were
not long ago laying depressed BUSH
ness, idle factories and fifty-cent wheat
to "overproduction." At a great risk
Of being accused of mixing politics and
agriculture, says Farm, Stock and
| Home, it must be said that it seems
strange to an ordinary observer that
the same conditions of production I'M
der one administration made for ruin
and desolation, while under another
they stand for happiness and prosper
ity, and low-priced wheat today is con-
sidered blessing, when two years ago
1t was curse.
