About Albany daily democrat. (Albany, Or.) 1888-192? | View Entire Issue (April 26, 1889)
Daily Democrat Thire Is no calling that is not made bet ter by brain. No matter what a man's work is, he is a better man for having a thorough mind drilling. It it said that Palmyra, Neb., is short in Bibles, and last week the local paper pub lished the Ten Commandments "by re quest." The man who don't woik himself, and who won't let other men work, usually finds in the end that he has no chance to work. And then he finds that the longest hours are hours of idleness. The president's admirers claim that he is entitled to commiseration because of t'.ie fatigue resulting from his numerous appointments to office. He has our pity but then, he is not more than half as tired as the fellows who get left. When a man Is frightened or angry his digestive organs de not work ; this is also true of an animal ; hence the profit in keeping it in a peaceful and fearless state by kind treatment. The reason that man is the only animal who needs religion is because he is the only one withoAt real sense. As he con stantly breaks nature's lavs,he suffers con stant penalties. All other animals obey nature's laws. The twine trust has aroused indignation throughout the wheat belt. The manufac turers of twine should read the fable of the hen that lay the golden eggs. In giving the farmers so perfect an illustration of the workings of the robber tariff, they are killing the hen that lays so richly for them. Hundreds of Kansas republicans are being converted daily to free trade. The spectacle of western farmers giving up the use of the twine binder and going back to hand binding just because their own votes for "protection" enabled the twine makers to form a trust and raise the price from seven to twenty-five cents per pound, is good enough to make angels weep and devils laugh pver the folly and superstition of men. The "hay fork" swindle is the latest. A farmer is solicited to purchase or act as ageit for a cheap hay fork. lie is decluded into signing a long document "just as a matter of form," and gets himsell in debt for $200 or $300, The bland swindler gets what he fixes into a very nice negotiable note, and sells it for cash, while the deluded farmer can do noth ing but groan. The average watch is composed .of 1,75 dif ferent pieces, comprising upward of 2400 sepa rate and distinct operations in its manufacture. . The balance has lS,ooo beats or vibrations per hour, I2,o6o,oSo in thirity days, 157,680,000 in one year. It travels I 43-100 inches with each vibration, which is equal to 9 mifcs in twenty four hours, 292 miles in thirty days, or 35581 miles in one year. For forty years Miss Susan B Anthony has been working in the cause of women suffrage. She is still hopeful and active,though she prob ably does not expect to live to see the fulfill ment of her dreams. It isjlikely that forty years ago she was more sanguine of immediate results than she is to-day, but, looking back, she is not dissatisfied with the work she has done,and she has no doubt that the people will in time be educated up to the point of recognizing the civil rights of woman. A Michigan toothpick factory uses birch wood exclusively. The logs are sawed in to pieces 28 inches long, which are thor oughly steamed and then cut into veneer. The veneer is cut into long ribbons three inches In width, and these ribbons, eight or ten of them at a time, are run through the toothpick machinery, coming out at the other end, the perfect pieces falling Into one basket,the broken pieces and the refuse falling Into another. The picks are packed into boxes, 1500 In a box. by girls, mostly comely looking young squaws, and are then packed into cases and finally into big boxes, ready for shipment. About seven and one-half million toothpicks are turned out each working day by this one establishment. Kansas farms are mortgaged for $185, 000,00 , which at eight per cent make an annual Interest of nearly $23,000,000. This Is more than the value of the Kansas wheat crop. It takes a great deal of money out of the state, as a large part of this sum is loaned by Eastern capitalists. Dad as this may seem for Kansas farmers, it is not clear that It is a good thing for the money lender. Sooner or later the burden will become greater than the farmers can bear. To sell a large part of the produce of a farm for Interest cr rent is the sure way to impoverish it. Before the capitalist knows what Is being done, he finds that his prln cipalhas vanished. In place of his money he will be left ith a lot of land whose de creasing fertility makes It no longer worth cultivatlng.and therefore practically worth less. The safety of loans on land consists not in present value of the property, but on what Is being done with it. If It is growing better all the time by good farm ing, it Is good security for almost any amount. If It is growing peorci It Is pre bably no security at nil. ' A fino lino of gild headed otuos II Kwert's. In the Connecticut Valley this season more attention will be paid to tobacco growing, and less to raising onions, than was the case lasr year. In the valley thousands of bushels o onions are being plowed in the ground as a fertilizer, simply from lack of any remunerative market.
