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.

THE TRCE KING.
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. Flimulgan.

Ahtobia Aug. 25 Three of tbe 10-incb
disappearing giiDB mounted at Fort
Stevens were tested today. Tbe test
was made under tbe supervision of
Captain Clark of tbe orJaoaDoe depart
ment, wbo is visiting tbe Pacific ooast
on a special detail for teobnioal examin
ation and official report as to tbe com
pleteness and efSoieDoy of all tbe new
batteries looted along tbe ooast. Every
thing connected witb tbe gurja waa care
fully scrutinized and measured before
tbe firing took place. Captain Clark
expressed the highest satisfaction with
the gUDs. Tbe day was perfect, and tbe
test was successful in every respect.
The projectile used was a solid oonical
shot weighing nearly 6 ,0 pounds. Two
of tbe guns were fired at a range of five
and a half miles over tbe open water.
At tbe point of impact with tbe ooeao a
colum of water spouted into tbe air
several hundred feet. Commander
Patterson aimed tbe gnnB and controlled
tbe firing equad. Tbe last shot fired
was aimed at a fixed target, wbiob was
tbe extreme detached end of some old
; iliDg over tbe jetty. Tbe range finder
showed the point to be romething over
three and a half miles from the gun.
When tbe smoke cleared away it wai
found that the buoch of piles had been
fairly struct, one of them being broken
tnd oirried awav.
London, Aug. 25 The Statist, under
'be csptitioo "Amerioao prosperity,"
will'eay: , "There will be large export
of wheat to meet the demands of western
Europe. 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."
The tenor of tbe article prophesies an
inorease of the present prosperity of tbe
United States.
