The Gazette. Thursday, August 31, 1899. MORE WORK, MORE WAGES, MORE APPETITE. The advance in the price of meats of all kinds affords oppor tunity to Free-Traders for some remarks about trusts and tbe tariff, and they are harping on it with their customary rashness. To the average man who stops and thinks a moment the explanation of this increase in price is easy. It is ex plained by the simple fact of in creased consumption. Earning more money in the shape of wages than over before, the American people are eating more meat per capita than ever before. Ours is a meat eat- iog nation. No other nation con sumes anything like so large a proportion of animal food. While Europe consider themselves lucky to get meat once or twice a week, the American workingman and his family eat meat three times a day the year round. With more work, more wages and more appetite the American workingman in these days of pro tection and prosperity has greatly increased his meat diet, with tbe result that usually follows an in crease of demand and consump tion namely, an increase in price. It is a condition peculiar to tbe present period. Nothing of the kind occured during the four years of free-trade tariff reform, 18M-'97. Then there was no advance in food pricps because of increased consumption. Ou the contrary, the prices of nearly all foodstuffs suffered a decline because of di minished demand and consump tion. People ate less mnat, less of everything iu those dreary four years. The demand for agricul tural products fell off enormously an prices fell off accordingly. It is estimated that the farmers of tbe United States in the four years of free-trade tariff legislation suffered an aggregate loss of fully live billions of dollars by reason of diminished consumption and decreased values of farm product?. What tlio work people of this country lost through diminished employment and decreased earn ings in that same distressful period can scarcely be computed. In any event they aro so much the gainors through present conditions that they would not welcome a re turn of the lower food prices and the accompanying conditions of Wilson Tariff times American Economist.

How beautiful the dew-drop that glistens on the stem, The diamond pure that nature loved to wear: A richer crown ol beauty than the uparkling diadem, That rides the cruel despots brow of care. No nobler thoughts of charity are born within the brain Of liim who wears condensed upon the brow, The very groans of human heincs who died iu want and pain, a That their sons with awe inlulit humbly kneel and bow. Be mine the lowly cabin where love and friend ship dwell, Where baby's prattling laiiKhter greets the ear, And the beucon from the window lights the father through the dell To the castle of his kingdom, where the cheer Of open-hearted welcome smooths the rntlled face of care, As he hears the baby voices lisp his name; And his throne is warmly welcome though 'tis but a rustic chair, Far grander than the diamond throne of fame. Let those of aristocracy lly madly in the glare Of a light that hars ily shines on barren souls, And blights true love and friendship with am bitious, mad despair, Ukca moth that round a lamp in frenzy rolls. Give me the breath of incense from tie altar of a home, Where realities f honor, truth and love Are enshrined with thoughts of purity that never vainly roam, But at night commune with angels from above. When the lisping tongue of children follow close the mother's prayer. As they kneel upon the little cabin floor, "f s then I almost hear the angel voices in ths air, f.ik? a message from a calmer, brighter shore. TV peace that comes trom honest toll lights up the father's face, He needs no despot diamonds for a crown, lie possesses greater treasure in his humble happy place, Than tiie king who wears the robe of dark renown, By 1'atil J.

American farmers are dispos ing of their crops rapidly and at toler ably good prices, and tbey will be able to purchase from the east and Europe as fully aa they have been doiog this year. The United States has been making great progress of late in maoufaotoriog and trading, but It is still essentially an agricultural oountry, and ita prosperity depends mainly on tbe harvests. There fore, fair wheat and good harvests of other productions mean the oontinuance of the well beiog of the farmers, wbo are the backbone and lifeblnod of tbe country.'' The Statist then adds 'Under tbe oironmstaoces it is reason ably oertaio that railroad traffic returns md foreign orders for looomotivee, Hteel,etc, will continue to inoreaae."
