So the farmer authorized the ereation of the debt In order to get his cheaper implements and his “dollar wheat.”” The duty on the implements was reduced from 45 to 35 per cent ad valorem, Wheat at Chicago, not at the farm, was worth recently 7% cents a bushel and the farmer has $385,160 more of imported impléments with which to gather his 75 per cent crop :than he had last year. 1t will be seen readily from the above that “dollar wheat” ought to have come with Cleveland and that the arrival instead of a $300,000,060 debt is a mere cannot in any way disturb logic of Adam Smith. b TR S FROM § the LITTLE QU PAPER anford Parker by occupation, Goodby, Red Cloud Argus: Butte, a banker-agriculturist talks of starting a paper at Spencer. bank!

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.—Naval officers are looking forward to the speed trial of the ram Katahdin, which s to take place on Oc- tober 3. The Dolphin has gone north to be present at the trial, and the result will be awaited with general interest. The vessel was bullt according to designs furnished by Admiral Ammen ten years ago and there are experts about the department who appear to think that it will prove deficlent in some im- portant respects, and especially in that of speed. The contract under which the boat was built calls for seventeen knots per hour. At the private trials which have already been had this speed was not attained, but some improvements have since been made and the builders are hopeful that the contract re- quirements will be met on the official trial It is recognized that the vessel promise great power, but to turn a part of this power into speed is one of the problems in connec- tion with the vessel. The vessel was built at Bath, Me., the contract price being $930,- | 000. The kel was laid in 1891.

TOBACCO INDUSTRY ABROAD. Interesting Details Furnished American Consunlar Agents, WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.—In a report to the Department of State Consul Hammond states that the Turkish government has farmed out for a large sum of money the mo- nopoly of the tobacce trade in Turkey to an English company. The body of Mr. Ham- mond’s report is devoted to the tobacco in- dustry of Hungary, where the government takes entire control of the business of to- bacco growing. Mr. Hammond says that while there was an increase in the production amounting to about 50 per cent from 18 1893, the increase has not continued for the past two years, showing that the production has probably reached a culminating point. by 1] of torturing children MISSTONARY WORK IN CITINA, Springfleld (Mass) Republican: 1t fa doubtful It accurate statistics exist by which the divect results of forelgn misslons can bo measured, while it I8 eortaln that no suoll measurement of their indirect results is pos. sib A$ to the great cost of missions in self-sacrifice of missionaries, their sufferin and Tives, it Is quite possible that the seif- sacrifice of the majority of misslonaries is no greater than that of the majority of Christian ministers in thie country, while numbers of missionaries are better off than the average of thelr. brethren in civilized lands Kansas City Star: There 1 a_strong flavor of heathenism in the conduct of the Chinese oficials fn regard to the punishment of those guilty of participation in the Ku Cheng mis- slonary massacre.
