cxpendins a quarter Of q billion a
year while at the present moment
eighty-two millions in gold are being
exported to meet it's maturing
obligations in Europe. Two thirds of
these colossal sums Of expenditure are
collected from taxes upon real estate
While real estate exacts them in turn
from its tenants the majority Of.
whom are laborers.
There seems no escape from the
conviction that so long as these eS :
penditures continue, wages will rise;
slowly, fitfully, after much resistance
(for employers, too, must live and re-
spond to the. demands of their
trades), after many strikes; but, in
spite Of ALL wages, under such condi-
tons, will rise; and the contractor
who omits to contemplate this con-
tingency must be prepared to run the
risk Of being much mistaken. Taxa
ton is no negligible factor in the adj
justment of contract prices.--Alex.

There seem to be excellent reasons
for stimulating the export trade in

Queer, indirectly the creation and

LONDON. Oct. 1.-The report that

and that the men often go hungry is
confirmed by the statement of doc

officer after the battle of Opole.
The immediate amputation of one

When this information was conveyed

said:
All right; but first give me some

The food was furnished and the
officer ate all through the operation,
which was performed without the
administration of an anaesthetie.

Two Eggs a Week

Aberdeen American: Secretary
Of Agriculture, Houston, Analysing
farm conditions in various parts OF
the United States, makes these lllu.
minating comparisons.
The average Iowa farmer has 80
hogs to the North Carolina farmers
five and the South Carolina farmers
four. Their poultry varies in about
the same proportion.
The average farm in Georgia pro-
duceS less than two eggs a week,
less than two-thirds of an ounce of
butter and two-thirds Of a pint of
milk.
A farmer is never a king unless
his kingdom is nearly self-sustaIn-
ing. The southern planters realize
now, more keeniy than ever before,
that they could live without cotton
much better than without meat,
grain and vegetables. If the south
is stirred by present misfortune TO
introduce Investigation or crops,
and to raise her own cattle ana hogs
the lesson will be worth its cost.

effect Of it: these abide-a part of
the fibre of my latest self.
