4ases in the United States has
cen but half as much as in Great
Britain. Provisions, meats, and
particularly beef, are higher than a
year ago, but the Tariff does not
affect the price of beef particle,
and there is no combination that
can be seen that can affect the
prices as a trust might. The grow
ing scarcity of cattle and the in
creased demand cause the advance
in prices, which begins with those
who raise cattle. Lumber IS much
higher than two years ago. but
there is no lumber trust, and the
tariff cannot materially affect the
price, so that the increase may be
attributed to the scarcity and the
greatly increased demand. In 1896
Mr. Bryan and his satellites went
up and down the country declaring
that SO long as the gold standard
prevailed prices would decline. and
here Void be no profit in trade
and no activity III producing trade.
The gold standard prevailed, and
now these same men are plying

and the tariff because prices have
advanced. There is no satisfying

Up Go Diamonds
Effect of TransvaaI War
on the Jewels.

~o~--~0~-~O~~-~-~~.~~o~-~
The price of diamonds is going up and
| this is why:
One day, about ten years ago, Barney
| Barnato, who began life in South Africa
| it( by his own actl as the Diamond King.
proposed to Cecil Rhodes that they put ali
diamonds at Kimberly in a pail.
Good enough said the continent grab
Der. Pour them in. I'd like to see how
they look"
Barnato placed large bucket on one OF
the sorting tables in the main office and
into that dumped all the rough diamonds
that had ben mined during the year 1883
They filled it TO the brim.
Now he said. III buy that bucket Of
| diamonds from you. Rhodes. just as they
are. inserted
The two quickly agreed upon price
and then and there was laid the founda-
ton Of the famous diamond syndicate
which is now attracting the attention Of
the m-wearing public, for when Barnato
packed up the stones and sent them 10
London and Amsterdam it required he
experts there three months 10 accomplish
the sorting, and in that period diamonds
became so scarce on the market that they
began to bring fancy prices Mr.. Rhodes,
who can awaken to such an opportunity
without being roughly jolted, saw it was
good thing and since then mis- syndicate
has been buying up the Kimberly dia-
mond crop in advance, doing out the
stones as 1t sees fit.
The product is now arranged for until
June 1900, and If the demand for these
sparkling baubles continues 10 increase no
one can say what diamonds will be worth
a year from now. The De Beers Ger sol
dated Mines company has the world at
its mercy. Not enough diamonds are pro-
duced in Brazil, Australia and other scat
tered localities to supply the demand Of
the city Of Philadelphia alone. The jew
elers in Maiden Lane say that the market
value OF stones is already 20 per cent
higher than il was a year ago. with indi-
cations that the high water mark has not
been reached. Every few weeks the syn
dictate makes ten per cent advance and
the buyers must pay it or leave their con-
tracts untitled, which is a costly proceed
ing.
Meanwhile the De Beers consolidated Is
going right along paying 20 per cent divt-
dend, and the following financial state
ment for the year ending June Sc, 1885,
shows just what profit is being made from
humanitys love of adornment.

No gentleman will swear before a lady
let her swear first.
Some men rob themselves when they
call others bad names.
A man always puts his best foot for

Some men are so exceedingly modest
that they shun the naked truth.
Most men are ready and willing to die
for their country-of old age.
Man is made of dust; along comes the

A man smiles when you speak of his
level head. but call it fat and he gets
mad.
A man can never tell what he will do in
a pinch until a policeman pinches him.
The trouble with a great many men IS
that they can't depend on what they say.
When a man is beside himself he should
never place much confidence in his COM
