| Some students of human nature are in
clined TO believe that the unconscious
humor in this world far outweighs that
perpetrated with malice prepence, that. In
short, people are funniest wher they do
not know that they are making themselves
| funny. There is a great deal of humor of
this kind to be found in the grave and
weighty articles which frequently appear
on the subject OF the possibility OF a
small family living on thousand dollars
| year
| The absurdity of the thing is apparent
when one considers the fact that probably
two-thirds OF the readers of these articles
| would think themselves very well off If
they had a thousand dollars year to sup
ply the needs of a family. They would
quote the old adage about the proper way
TO make rabbit pot pie, and intimate that
the first thing which one must do in order
| TO live upon a thousand dollars a year is to
get the thousand dollars. II they could
| only do that, they would not have much
trouble in keeping within the limit But
with FIVE. seven, or eight hundred dollars,
and two or three children TO take care of,
even this small income being perhaps I'M
certain. they feel that life is something OF
a problem The advice so freal} showered
upon them in these articles is about as
useful as a treatise on feeding a white ele-
plant.
OF course, il makes a great deal of diff
ference whether the stipulated income is
to be spent in the city or in the country.

A good deal OF excitement has beer pro-

The Subsidy Bill.

| 1t would be hard TO predict the fate OF
the Hanna Subsidy bill with any degree Of
accuracy, as far as the present session OF
| Congress is concerned but inasmuch as no
other measure awaiting legislative action
| Is of such surprising importance to the
| Republican campaign management, it is
| certain that not a stone will be left I'M
turned to put it through. People familiar
with Administration affairs have declared
| that the intending benefciaries of the bill
are prepared to devote the first years
bounty to the Mckinley can pa!gn fund.
That would amount to nine million dollars,
and it is sum that no well-regulatad
campaign manager would fail TO add t. dis
box if it were possible to get it.
In its present shape the Hanna Subsidy
bill is made to read in such way that its
advocates seem TO believe they can con-
vince Congress and the country that 1t is
an entirely fair and equitable measure,
whose benefits will be open TO all American
vessel owners alike. As a matter of fact,
however, in practice the bounty will inure
to few ocean and lake line proprietors,
like the Rockefellers, whose International

to invest fortune in an impossible scheme
of competition against the monopolies in
possession.
A more powerful com bination for the |
purpose Of transferring millions annually |
from the pockets of the taxpayers to those |
of the trusts, than that behind this plan |
to loot the treasury, was never en- |
countered in the history of the Washington |
lobby. 1t is SO strong and ready to deal |
literally for influence and votes and its |
power over the Administration is 50 domi- |
mating that there would seem to be little |
hope for its defeat. Probably Hanna will |
nurse his project along, and in the closing |
days of the session attempt to jam it |
through. Success might lead TO another |
outburst of popular indignation, and I'M
pleasant things might be said concerning |

on a Thousand dollars year and saving a

But millions of people live in this coun-
try who have TO be content with much less
than this and"a large percentage of them
are subject 10 the fluctuations of demand
and supply TO such an extent that they can
hardly exercise any foresight in their daily
living. There is the farming population,
whose market in many sections is so con-
trolled by the railroads that the farmer is
never quite certain of being able TO pay
off his mortgage and start on an indepeni-
ent footing. There are mechanics of the
better class who know from observation
that a new labor saving invention may
throw them out OF work after they have
spent twenty years in learning their trades.
They are obliged TO take chances OF idle
ness now and then, and it frequently
comes at time when there is illness in
the family, or some other emergency. To
the multitudes of working people who con-

has prevented the Berlin Government from
raising the flag of the empire over the re-
gion, but the knowledge that such an act
would instantly precipitate hostilities with
the United States. In other words the Kai-
ser has been and is shut out by the Monroe
Doctrine, with better navy than his own,

1t is quite unnecessary to say that be-
yond doubt Emperor Wilhelm would tie

bit of Americanism out of the way, with

BRADsTREETs TRADE REVIEW.
The General Conditions of Business
Very Satisfs Glory.

1
NEW YORK, March 23.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
| Some few Irregularities are visible in
the general trade and industrial situation,
| the results of the workings of counter
| currents in various lines, but. taken as a
| whole the general outlook retains most
| OF the encouraging features noted for some
| time past in these columns. Favorable
reports as to retail distribution and as TO
| collections come from Southern, far West
| ern and Northwestern markets, due TO
| better weather. Continued good railway
earnings, record breaking merchandise ex-
| ports from New York, with signs Of re-
| sumption of heavy shipments of iron to
| Europe and good wheat and fruit crop
| reports except from the Central West,
| are also prominent features of the situa-
| ton.
IAN unfavorable element is the predic-
ton OF general strike of machin;sts, but
il is possible that more than its proper
weight has been given this threatened
trouble Advices from several cities would
indicate a lack of the unanimity claimed
by the strike projectors of this threatened
labor trouble which, with the practical
suspension of building at Chicago, con-
stitute almost the only blemishes upon the
general industrial situation. As offsets to
this threatened trouble might be cited the
settlements of differences among the lake
ore handlers, a vital point in the immense
business looked for the coming spring and
summer Advances in wages OF soft coal
miners, of stove molders, and of other
workers allied to the iron and steel indus
try would seem to point to labor conditions
retaining most of the favorable features
which have made them subjects OF remark
on the present prosperity wave.
Large as our export trade has been OF
recent months current custom house re-
turns from New York would indicate that
the best has not yet been shown Ex-
ports of merchandise from New York
weekly at present are far in advance OF
all previous records, and II New York'5
movement can be regarded as typical a
very heavy total of March exports is fore
Swallowed. Foreign demand seems likely
to play a most important part in the iron
and steel industries, judging from the re-
ports of the advance in foreign markets
and of an increasing enquiry for American
manufactures. While some slight conces-
sions might secure much OF this business.
nothing like general easing of values is
TO be reported. The famine in coal in
Europe seems to be growing more pro-
nounced, but some rumored very large

the author of the story meant to put the

State. In States like Nevada, Idaho, Mon

himself through the campaign, could come
