in some way or other have managed to become all of a sudden the owners of scores of square miles, without ever having disbursed the tenth or the twentieth part of the real value of that land. Rapidly to make fortune, even at the cost of total exhaustion of the land, and then to move elsewhere, IS the ideal of these temporary settlers; and wheat-growing in these regions would have probably taken the same character as in Dakota, or, in former days, in Ohio if there were in Russia the same facilities for borrowing mon ey, buying agricultural machinery and exporting the crop that there are in the United States.
 On these steppes the great question throughout the summer is where to get laborers. It is estimated that every summer much more than half a million men come to southeastern Russia from the north for haymaking and harvest ing. However, in good years, when the crops are heavy. the demand for labor CTS is so great that none are to be found
 by hundreds of farmers.
 Soldiers are nearly always permitted
 by the government to work for fort night or so in the fields. and as the
 great number of them are peasants
 sons, fresh from the country, they are
 only too happy to break the monotony of barrack life by working with the scythe, and thus earning some money, which is nearly always sent home to the family-for the payment of the ever growing taxes.
 On the steppes of southeastern Rus sia the aforementioned primitive ways of harvesting disappear, and one sees every intermediate stage between har- vesting by hand and reaping by ma chinery. By far the greatest part of all the wheat that is grown in south Rus sia is still mown with the scythe; but
 reaping, and occasionally binding, ma chimes are also resorted to in rapidly increasing numbers.
 On the shores of the sea of Azof there are numerous factories of agricultural machinery, and one factory of reapers
 near Sagaurog was described lately by the English consul as the largest of the kind in Europe. But 1t takes some time before the prejudice against machinery is broken down in the villages, and be- fore the farmers are convinced that an
 occasional injury to the machine can be
 easily repaired by the use of inter- changeable parts.-Prince Kropotkin in the Youths Companion.

WAGES AND PRICES.

What does it profit man if he re.
ceives higher wages and then is COM
PEELED to give up more than the ad'
vance to the food trusts?
This question is suggested by little
pamphlet issued by the Democratic Ma
tional Committee under the caption,
Are Higher Prices a Blessing?" which
effectively answer the following dec
laration made by Secretary Shaw in
his speech at Wilmington, Del, in
June last: May the good Lord de.
liver us from another period when liv-
ing expenses are cheap" OF course,
when he made that declaration the Sec
rotary was talking and praying for the
food trusts, which the Republican
party so faithfully represents.
But let us see how food prices have
scared in comparison with the advance
in wages of one class Of workingmen.
The average daily pay of all classes
of railroad men was 10 per cent
higher in 1908 than it was during the
period from 1892 to 1899. The average
during the latter period was $2.1s
Therefore, during the last year the
railroad man receives on an average
Is cents per day more than he did
from 1892 to 1898.
Now let us see how much more he is
compelled to pay out in order to live
''The prices of food articles that labor
ing men are compelled to buy were
1913 per cent higher in 1903 than they
were during the period from 1892 t;
1899.
ing prices on the following articles
Beans, beef, butter, cheese, chickens
corn meal, fish, lard, mutton pork
potatoes, veal and others as reporte'
by the United States labor bureau
A like increase is found in rent, fue
clothing and almost every other articl
that the laborer is compelled to cor
sumo in quantity. Hence if it cos
the family of railroad man 81 pc
day to live during the former period
it costs him S2.2Ok during 1903
hence, notwithstanding the increas
in wages that he drew if he lived q
well as formerly, he was Az cents pc
day worse off than formerly.
Furthermore, it is generally reco
nized as a fact that living expense
are greater at present than they WEI
in 1893, while wages generally ha,
slightly decreased as we'll as the oppo
tunitles for employment.
The pamphlet in conclusion maxi
this statement and asks these per,

in 1903 will buy nearly per cent le
