yond all mundane care. The old
buncombe about the divine rights
of kings has exploded; together
with an unlimited faith in myth
ology, and are as little heeded
now-a-days as is one of the govern
ment pledges that they intended
solving the unemployed questioi
and setting the people economic
ally free.
It is now many years since the
French people, driven to despera
tion by the tactics pursued by
heartless kings, a profligate and
licentious nobility who were back
up in their course of injustice by i
clergy who knew not the poor,
aroce in their might, took the gild
ed mansions, sent tin ir blue blood
ed ocenpants to investigate regions
vet unknown. So it was then, bo
it is now. The people are crushed
down by monopoly, with a weight
of wrongs nearly as heavy as any
which preceded the French revolu
tion. The "have nota" of society
are crushed down, treated with
scorn and indignity, the burdeu
becoming heavier every day. The
sweating wage earner has tried
gentle remonstrance and oflVrs of
conciliation, but the tyrant capi
talist liear it not; or hearing, heeds j
not, cares not, sleeping on in fanci
ed security. But the day is not
far dUtant when a rude awaken
ine niav take place. A spirit of
unrest is engendered and felt all
nvir the so-called civilized world.
Labor is writhing in the chains of
slavedom the haggard counte
nance betokening dispair and un
less some determining effort is
made to satisfy the just needs of
mankind and abolish all class dis
tinctions, na'ions will weap tears
of bitter repentance for having
neglected to solve Bocial problems
and meting out justice, not law, to
all.
Men and women are the slaves
of machines machinery being
utilized to displace human labor,
and ere long a war of discontent
will emanate from astarving, work-
less proletariat, revibrating into
the inmost sanctities of society's
holies, that will blanch the cheeks
of self satisfied plutocracy. It be
hooves those who consider them
selves secure to weigh well the un
certainty of their positions in these
times of rapid changes, and desist
from pursuing a course of persecu
tion and injustice which, if persist
ed in, must ultimately end in their
own ruin. Like the French Berfs,
the people are giving their warn
ing warning that if not attended
to may have the same unceremon
ious beginnings and probably the
same fatal termination. S. S.

Revolution! What a discordant
ring there is about the word as it
eouuds in the tyrants ears, as it
reaches the worried senses of the
Usurer and disturbs the equanim

amassing profits from the blood

The report of Henry Blackman,
collector of internal revenue, for
the year ending June 30, has just
been completed. It gives Bom9
very interesting figures concerning
the liquor and tobacco business in
Oregon, Washington and Alaska,
the district over which Collector
Blackman has charge.
According to the figures of his
deputies there are 2,665 saloons, or
as they are called in the report, re
tail liquor dealers, in Oregon and
Washington. there are d in
Alaska, making 2,738 in the whole
district. Oregon has 1,382, while
Washington has 1,283, or 99 fewer
saloons. This proportion holds
good in other lines of the liquor
business. For instance, Oregon
has 29 breweries while Washington
has 26. Taken with the smaller
number of ealoons this seems to
prove that less beer is drunk in
Washington than in Oregon. In
Alaska beer seems to be in demand
There are seven breweries. Con
sidering the small population a
vary large amount of beer is drunk
per capita or else the breweries are
verj small. As Alaska is not not
ed for hot weather, which is pro
ductive of a thirst for ber, it is to
be inferred that the breweries are
small.
The 55 breweries in Oregon and
Washington made 178J258 barrels
of beer during the fiscal year com
mencing July 1, 1894, and ending
on June 30, last. This amount of
beer was consumed by about 750,-
000 people, which means that every
4 1,10 persons, including women
and children, drank a barrel of
beer during 12 months. As there
are about 180,000 voters in the two
states, it shows that one barrel was
drunk to every voter. But, as a
great many persona who are old
enough to vote, do not drink beer,
the actual consumption per capita
Experiments at the Utah agri
cultural college showed that wheat
averaged for four years to give when
cut in bloom for 12 square rods
268.3 uounds of straw, when cut at
the milk stage 13.8 pounds of grain
and 145.8 pounds of straw, when
cut at early dough state 49.2 pounds
of grain and 134.5 pounds of straw,
when cut at full dough state 71.22
pounds of grain and 137.7 pounds
of straw, and when cut at the time
the seed is dry to the center the
vield of grain was 97.5 pounds and
134.3 pounds of straw. The latter
figures are for three years instead
of four. After this date the grain
shattered bo that it was difficult to
ascertain whether the wheat in
creased or decreased. These figures
are of value to those who use wheat
as part of grain mixture for forage
crops, as they show that the total
crop continues to increase up to the
time that the seed should dry at
the center.
The Indiana experiment station
reported the results of harvesting
wheat at five different periods. The
first cutting was made when the
wheat was in dough and the last
when the wheat was dead ripe, and
at intervals of four days between
the cutting T.ie earliest cutting
gave 24.17 bushels per acre as the
average of three years' trial. The
next cutting or early cutting gave
26.42 bushels. Medium cutting
gave 27.44 bushel; late cutting,
28.47 bushels and very late cutting
29.24 bushels. Trials of late years
are showing that wheat continues
to increase in yield up to the peri
od that it becomes dead ripe or
dried, and hard through to the cen
