THE DAILY BEE Motonals - ®. ROSEW ATGR: EDITOR! _ WOMAN SUFFRAGE AND PRO- HIBITION. To the Editor of The Bee. The proposed amendment to the constitution granting the elective Arbor.Day Proclams'ion. & Exzcurive OFFICE, % Lixcoux, Neb., April 4. %o the People of Nebraska: With the returs of more genial days, after & vinla: ofd“ntwm so- verity, it is & pleasing duty to an- Dounce the approsch of Atbor Day, which, by official recoguition and tablished custom, is set apart and d voted to tree planting throughout tl state of Nebraska. The common wi fare requires unremitting zesl in this direction. It seems needless, how- ever, to suggest the benefits that ma) bo derived from an abucdant growt] of timber on our prolific prairies, Therefore, in barmony with the sction of the state board of agrical- tare, 1, Albivus Nance, governor of the state of Nebraska, do hereby de- signate the third Wednesday of April, 1881, to be especially devoted to plantiog forest, fruit, and ornamental trecs, vineyards, shrubs, and flowers —combining ths useful and the beau- tiful in improving and beautifying our homes; sud in the performence of this sgreeable duty, I inviie the co-operation of all classes and profes- sions, rcquesting eversone to plsut diligently on the day designated, and on every other favorsble ocoasion during the early day of spring. Let it bo remembered that those who plant trees build liviog,monuments to their own industry, and are beefac- tors of mankind while benefiting them- selves. In testimony whereof, I have here- unto set my hand avd caused to be afiixed the great seal of the state of Nebraske. Done at Lincoln this foarth day of April, A. D, 188L.

The Belmont mine and mill handled 1,008 tons of ore in January at a cost of $5.50 per ton, and the total yield was $10,270.

Two years ago, to go no further back, there was » suddeu demand for | o 2> iron and steel, snd in » brlef time all the mills and furnaces had orders equaling their full capacity. This was promptly followed by a demand for an increase of wages by all persons en- aged in those lines of production. fia wan followed In turn by sn sd- vance i the prices of iron and steel, and that by another rise in the rates of wages, This advance In_the price of the raw materls] seriously other industries, so that pri; kinds of manufactared articles were advanced, and sympathetioally, the wages of all kinds of labor advanced Droportionately. The result was a general increase of the cost of living, and as general an increae 10 the cost of procuction of all kinds of manufactured goode. It did mot take long under these circumstances for the suspended British and other European iron and steel mills to light up their fires, and in a forr months fleets of veasels Iaden with foreiga steel and iron were on_their way to this country, uotwithstanding ~ the enormous protection of the tariff. Pig-iron - which was selling in May, 1879, for $18 per ton could not be purchased for less than $60in Septem- ber, and ae a consequence all Europe shipped pig-iron {o this country. So with all other commodities. During the brief period while theso high prices prevailed, wa tmported tens uf millions of dollary worth of foreign manufactures In excets of what we otherwiss would have doue, because of the inability of Amer- lcan manufacturers under the great cost of home produotions to sell their abnormally dear goods in competition with the Earopeans, notwithstanding the high tarifl. The American mar- ket was very eoon broker down, pri- ces receded rapldly, and in the recess- fon taking with them the rates of wa- 98 to what they wero before the rise took place, Durlug thef eight or ten months, the rise in wages and of prices, prevailed the cost of living in- creased to the full cxtent of the in- crease in wages, so that no practical benefits resulted to wagelsbcr. On the ‘contrary, the country was filled by au extraordinary importation of foreign-made goode, which until they were consume !, were sold to the ex- clusion of an equal amount of domes- tie-made goods. A general advance now in the cost of production, as the result in the in- crease of wage-labor, must of neces- sity take placo, as in 1879; the prices of all articles produced by labor, and a general advanco in_prices, while in- creasing the cost of living, has two adverse but inevitsblo results: one the reduction of consumption, and the other an Increase of importation, both causes directly tending to reduce the employment of labor at home, Anotherconsideratlon is well worthy of attention. In tho items making up tho cost of living that of hcuse-rent is one of considerabls magnitude. The owners of dwellings have taken ad- vantage of the liberal increase in pop- ulation to make an lncrease: in the rents of dwellings suitable for single familles. Theso rents have been fn- creared from $30 per month to 840, from $40 to 850, from $50 to 860; from $60 to 75, frcm $75 to §90, or even $100. This advanca falls with greater severity in proportion to the smallness Geo. P. Bemis ReaL ESTATE AcENcy. 166k & Douglas Sts., Omaha, Neb.

The United States ought to enj.y equally as good if not better credit. ' France is asetéled and thi u- lated country, with its resources fuily developed. This country is undeve- loped, snd to = great extent mnpeo- pled, ith itsstupendous resonrces but pactlally disclosed. We are rapidly paying of our debt. The debt of France is accumulating. She al: xoady owes $4,700,000,000, and her new loar will raise it to mearly five thousand million dollais. The ‘money is expecded mpon great public works, canals, railways and harbor improvements built at government expense] and under government super vision. The republic has patterned upon fthe policy of Louls Napoleon, but has improved it. While expening money Io besatifying Pacis to keep Paris quiet, the present government is mortgaging the earnings of posterity in order to perfect the military and commereial grandeur of France. This policy has its present advan- tages, but it asks too much of the fu- tare. The public workamay, pay back into the coffars ot the stste some por- tion of their cost; bat army expendi- tares, forts and areenals are a dead load forever. A nation like our own that fs indulging in nothing more ont- rageously expensive than an occasional river and Barbor bill, with army and navy expenses kept within moderate ‘compass, and with » debt rapidly de- creasing, ought to have better credit than a apeadthrift nation with a longer purse.

The first advance demanded ranges from 10 to 20 per cent. to be followed ac- oording to circumstances by an addi- tlonal increase as the consequent rise 1a the coat of living takes place, There is nothing more matural smong men who are dependent upon_wage-labor 85 or $8 per month in rent toa family whose whole earnings do not exoeed $600 to $300 a year is a severe one. Those whose occupations per- mit it can eacape this exaction by taklog houses in eome of the many suburbs, where they can find comfor- table habitations at one-half the cost of like houses in the city. But there is a large class of our population which cannot go out of the city, and must remain here and evdure this inorease rent. This fact of a general increase of rent being a direct addition to the cost of living, is, and will be, used as a strong argament for a general an in- crease in the rate of wages. On the other hand, & general ad- vance in wi must be attended with an equal advancs in the price of building material, and thess to- gother will suspend largely the amount of building during the coming sesson. Bat faw dwellings or business build- ness buildings are built in seasons of high prices; 8o should there be as is expected, this general increase in the ratcs of wages, prices of materlal, and cost of liviug, there will be a propor- tionate falling off in the amount of building done in this city andin the labor employod for that purpose during the yes In endeavoring to treat the wounds recoived by the candidates for the presidency, The Modina (Wis ) Demo- crat wisely prescribes St. Jacobs Oil.
