"Now you have struck it, mister. Horse bave j st doubled in price. When Cleveland was president, good young horses would l.rin from 3o to to apiece. Plenty of them were bought up in my neighborhood by horse buyers at that price. Now it takes from 7.5 to ? 00 to buy the same kind of a horse and there are just as many being bought." "But you have ;to pay a bigser price for everything ytm buy," ob jected a popu'ist bystander. "You get heat out of so much that you ain't any better off at lhe end of tbe year." j , 1 as doubt about the future, for all these are based on credit, and credit dies when confidence is destroyed. These are the veriest truisms cf busi ness life, and any man with even an elementary knowledge'of the laws of the financial and business world knows that tbe immediate effect of Bryan's election would be the de struction of confidence and the advent of all tbe evils that must in evitably follow. Is it reasonable to suppose th-it the American people, in tbe midst of abounding prosperity, are going to commit such an act of folly as this, especially when they have on'y to re-elect President JIc Kinley to bave absolute assurance that the present prosperity will con tinue undisturbed and undiminished? Bryanites, true to their populist instincts, are banking largely on the big strike among the coal miners of Pennsylvania. It is worthy of note that there were few strikes at this time four years ago. The thousands that were then out of work and living on free soup could not strike, and the few that were employed were too glad to get work at any wages to strike for higher. "Speaking of the 'full dinner pail,' what is it full of? Promise?'' asks tbe Walla Walla Statesman. Nay Pauline. It is probably full of chicken and pie, but to a dead cer tainty there isn't a drop of free soup in it. HOT SHOT FROM OLD ABE. Mr. Bryan is fond of quoting from "That shows all you know about Abraham Lincoln. Here is a quota- it, returned the farmer.

Dissolve five cents' worth of pm arabic in a pint bowl of warm water nud let it stand until there is no sedi ment at the bottom. This will take several hours. Tbe blossoms that nre to be preserved are then dipped light ly ia the solution and slinkon out be fore they are suspended by a string lo drip. As soon as the flower has dried, dip atraiu and allow it to dry Ofrain. repeating1 the process five or six times. The color ar.d form of blooms thus treated are remarkably preserved, says the Xcw York Post. The popularity of coidi roy as an upholstery fabric is well founded. It is durable in texture, and although its color fades it fades beautifully, and usually is thereby improved. Still an other pood quality of tbe material is its adoptability to its surroundings. Like a sealskin saerjue, which may be acceptably worn to market or for a round of visits, corduroy is most ap propriate for library or sittinjr-rooin. and not at all out of place with the finer furnishings of the drawinp-room.

How many persons w ere there in . Cncle Sam' big- family cn June 1? If ( this noble American tire is not quit like the fabled dame of Mother Goose,' who had "o many children the didn't j know what to do," he has to manyj that he isn't sure but once in ten years ( what the total number of his cfTfpriug; is, says the New York Herald. j Measured by the per cent, of pain! between the censuses of lSJ and IS'jO.I which was 24.6, the population of thej United States to be disclosed by the national roll call. Just completed,' should reach a total of ".30,CUJ. Asa! matter cf fact, it dees not seem likely j that the total will exceed 7C,X.r00,: and probably will not reach that figure.! Several noteworthy factors have been at work to effect this, to many, surprisinp result. Immigration has fallen off to a remarkable degree. Inj t'je ten years ending June 30, 1503, 4.H9.O0O persons entered this country from foreign lands. In the decade; doting with Juno 31 of this year al-! most a million less will have sought an svlum on America's shores. Thesej figures omit the immigrants from Can-' ada and Mexico. The reason for this marked decrease in immigration lies very plainly in the: hard times period of 1S93-94. A small! flood of C23.I.S4 persons entered the L'uited States in the fiscal year cf 1592. Two years later the total was barely haif as great, and so far spread was the news of our business and financial distress that in 1 -.03 the immigrants were only S.S!.:1, the smallest number since lsTu. An increased total last year has been followed by a greater one this year, so that the comiDg decade will probably see a return to the huge im migration figures cf the early SCs. Coincident with the decline in im migration, due to the business crisis must be reckoned a decline in the nat ural growth in population. Adverse financial conditions operate not only to increase the death rate, but also to decrease the birth rate. Aside from this it is a notable fact that the per cent, of natural prowlh of population has been constantly and rapidly de creasing in this country for a whole century. If we correct the admitted errors in the census tables of 1S70, it will be found that the ratio of increase of population by natural growth in each decade has steadily dropped from 35.6 in the 11-10 period, to 14.1 in the lfesl-yd period. In other words, there was born to the average community of 1.000 inhabitants between 1S01 and 1S10 3JG children, while to a similar com munity between 1SS1 and 1590 there were bom onh 141 children. To give a keen point to this plain irum mai ine naucn is siowing up, so to speak, in its natural growth, the in teresting state censuses of 1)3 are of decided value. Nine states counted heads in that year. Two in Tew Knp- land, Massachusettsmnd Khode Island; I, ' 1 .1 1 . - T kuc luiui.ie suite, .cn jersey; one southern state, Florida; four' middle western states. Iowa, Kansas, Minne sota and South Dakota, and one far western state, L'tah. Of this typical group, representing nil sections of the country, only one showed an increase in per cent, of population eoual to the to be expected half of the increase of the previous decade. The sole exception was New Jersev which prew 27.7 per cent, between ISso and ls90, and 15.7 per cent, between my and 195. Two causes may explain this increased ratio of growth prox imity to New York city, which, with its ever gathering density cf ncnula- tion, forces more and more families to ny to the less crowded and less expen sive suburbs, and proximitv to the main port of entry of immigrants, who would naturally, in hard times, be loth to spend the ir savings in taking a long inn into tee west. How much infiueuce this latter con- siceration had is potently illustrated by thff figures of seme r.f'the wt stern states' censuses. Thus. Minnesota, which prew more than CO percent, be tween 150 and l:-0, pained but 21 tier cent, in the five years following. Kan sas, which added 4.-;.2 per cent, tn her population between I5-0 nnd 1-90, ac tually lost 6.4 per cent, between 1890 ana 195. In both thef.e cases nrobahlv the lack of new settlers rrom foreign lands was not more marked than the slackening of immigration from other states. Now some one will ask in view of tT, sharp decrease in immigration and th probable decrease in natural grow th. iiai is me population of the I'nitd States to-day? With all due deference given to the many points involved, it may be fairly estimated that there nre oetween 75.ono.COO nnd 77.COO.nno In. habitants in this rountrr.
