STEEL THE BAROMETER.

Stocks break under the force of
bear raids, but steel and iron are be-
ing contracted for in large transac-
tons, far ahead. Wal, streets nerves
are unsteady but the market for steel
is firm and active.
In this age steel and iron are the
true test of the business world. crops
excepted, and everybody knows that
the crops are alright. Rural America
is sound and strong in a degree never
before attained.
While business in steel Is being
done on a vast scale, well into the
future. little attention need be given
10 the Hurries in the market which
show that Wall street is weary Of
waiting for something to happen
which win start stocks strongly in one
direction or the other. On the foun.
dalton Of the crops and the giant
metal industry OF the country there is
room for a volume OF trade never yet
seen IN the United States.
Steel is king in the cities and grain,
hay. cotton, potatoes and other great
staples OF agriculture in the country.
Both together make a sure barome-
ter, telling the business weather

the United States senate the follow
ing month. It derives its name from |
John Hay, then secretary OF state. who |
represented the United States. and
Lord Julian Pauncefote, British min
lister at washington, who represented
Great Britain. It annulied the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty, entered into be
tween the United States and Great
Britain April Is, 1850. in order to re-
move any objection that might arise
out Of the said treaty to the construc-
ton Of an Atlantic-Pacific canal.
The new treaty provided that the
United States should build the canal
and have the exclusive right of pro-
viding for it's regulation and manage
ment For the naturalization of the
canal the United States adopted sub
stantially the rules laid down In the
convention OF Constantinople QSSs)
regarding navigation Of the Suez canal.
thus providing that the new canal
should be open to vessels Of commerce
and war Of all nations; that 1t should
never be blockaded nor any act of
hostility be committed in it; that ves-
sells OF war Of belligerents should not
revictual or take on stores in II, IN
less absolutely necessary, and that no
belligerent should disembark troops or
munitions of war in the canal, except
under special circumstances. 1t was
furthermore agreed that no change of
territorial, sovereignty or of interna-
! tional relations of the country or coun-
/ tries traversed by the canal should
affect the principle of its neutraliza-
/ ton
The Clayton-Bulwer treaty, which
the Hay-Pauncefote superseded, pro-
vided, among other things, that
neither the United States nor Great
] Britain should have exclusive con-
/ troll over an Atlantic-Pacific canal,
and that neither should occupy, for.
tify, colonize or assume dominion
over the territory through which
such canal should pass. Almost from
the time this treaty was signed dis
putes arose. These were smootheo
over in 1860, but difficulties arose
again at the close Of the civil war.
In 1881 Secretary OF State Blaine
contended that any interoceanic cana
across the Isthmus Of Panama should
be under control of the United States
and that the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
should be modified in view of the
changed conditions since 1850, In the
, following year Secretary Frelinghuy
sen contended that the treaty was M
longer binding on either party. Il
which Lord Granville, on the part o
Great Britain. objected that 1t mus
/ be binding, since it had never beef
, ADVOCATED.
The controversy continued until tn
signing of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
definitely superseding the Clayton

EIGHT CENTS A DAY.
Workers Pay In England When Board
Was Shilling q Week.

Workers Pay In England When Board
Was Shilling Week.
There was a time when a workman
in England received s cents a day as
an ordinary wage. when skilled ar
tisans commanded 10 cents day and
when women worked in the field at
such tasks as reaping straw, hoeing,
planting beans and washing sheep
for 2 cents a day. and a wise student
of the subject has expressed the opin
ion that the British workman of that
day was better off than he has ever
been since then.
That sounds paradoxical. But the
explanation is this: The workman
who sold his services for cents a
day could buy good beef or mutton for
~ cents pound. Wheat cost him on
the average only IS cents a bushei.
He could get board for IL to 16 cents
a week. The pay he would receive for
fifteen weeks services would suffice
to purchase a supply of suitable food
stuffs, according TO the standard of his
time consisting of wheat. malt and
oatmeaD, to maintain his family for
an entire year.
Under these circumstances cents q
day-increased to IL cents In harvest
time-was a fair wage and times
were good" for the average workman

that there is nothing of a machine
about them except the horse which
draws them TO the beach. The answer

The demand for chafng dishes has
grown to very large proportions and
there are good reasons for this. The
convenience of the chafng dish, the
palatableness Of the dishes produced,
everything hot, and right from the
fire to the plate; the opportunity for
showing ones grace and ability in
cooking and serving, the possibilities
of little experiments and changes in
conditions, the personality and inter-

operations, all these combine to make
