AGRICULTURE AS A BUSINESS.

Country life may lack some of the zip and bustle of the metropolis, but compe- tition for individual prestige and ad- vancement is less keen in agriculture than in other industries.
 The fact that farm labor is scarce, with wages highep than ever before, makes it possible for the young man who is agriculturally inclined to start on the road to independence. With an equal amount of energy and enthusiasm, start ing without education or training he can get his name on the bank directorate via the agricultural route quicker than by Michigan avenue. Broadway or Wal street.
 We hear a great deal about high wages in the city, but little is said concerning the liability side of the workers persona ledger. The net balance is the only basis upon which to compare the income of the city worker to that of the farmer. It is doubtful if there is 8 city anywhere

A Washington news dispatch says:
Government expenditures continue
high because of the tremendous war
debt OF the country. the interest on
which amounts to nearly $1,25O,OO0,.
900 a year."
The story goes on to say that the
"chances are poor for even slight re-
auctions on few of even the most
obnoxious taxes" and that some levies
will have to be increased. THE in
creases are not brought about
through increased government ex-
penditures," the dispatch says, but
are due to the fact that present rates
are beginning to yield far less reve-
nue. than during the years of big war
profits"
If we have to pay the pretty sum
of $1,25O.000,000 year in mere in
terest on the war debt, we get a
glimpse of what war costs Mere in
terest alone totaling $1,250,O0O,OOO
a year is colossal sum to pay. 1t is
approximately $11 for every man,
woman and child in the United States
1t Is mere interest on the bonds, and
the bonds themselves have to be paid
with money. And to get the money
men and women have to toll and dig
and save, for money doesn't grow.
And when you add the interest
every year to the principal and then
realize that both have to be paid in
perfectly good money. you find your
self confronted with a gigantic debt
which is going to harass the Ameri-
can people for long time to come.
Then there Is another sum to be
added to this staggering bill. For
he fiscal year ending In June, 1891,
the cost of the American army and
navy, exclusive of such deficiencies
- may arise, is $876,49O,S06. It IL
another big tax laid on the earnings
