"How cbout your other farm

"Well, a 300 pound bog will bring
at least f3.50 more tlian it did in

promise of some sort. In fact, a
stiver majority in both bouses of

years ago and I get some little proCt

a few head to turn off every year. A
roan only has to sell ten head of cat

buy a whole lot of nails."
"How about horses ?"
"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

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.

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

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. The exact
number is nearer the smaller h
