Th decade between 1880 and 1800 was also! hardship and depression for farm- mylt census bulletins Nos W8 and no ‘ show that in spite of hard times our agricultural interests have increased ~ steadily and enormously in value. The live stock industry perhaps suffered more than any other. The embargo against American pork was on its severity in Eu- rope, and there was all the discrimina- tion against other American meats that could be decentlymade bythe foreign governments; consequently there were unpreomdentedly low prices for our live stock at home and abroad. ‘ Pwk euflered more than any other meat products,'yet the hogsof the coun- tryineressed in number nearly 10.000,- “ “,1! ”.40 per cent.

The increase of farm products was only 11.19 per cent since will). The dairy industry leaped forward -, with a great bound. The first dairy state is still New York, with an annual value of creamery products amounting to 314,- asses. Iowa's creamery products are over 810.5000“! in value. These values includeonly the butter, cheese, etc, made in the cmmeries and factories of thstwo ststa. Circese and butter made upon farms are not counted here. The amount ‘ of butter produced on farms in the whole I country, aside from crestneries. was 1,084,283,408 pounds, an increase since 1&0 e! 81.78 per cent. although the butv tor Males, not to speak of oleomargav tine. never increased so rapidly as from lute 1M. Evidently this is going lobe the greatest dairy country of the world. It ought to be. Farm made cheese, on the other hand, decreased in quantity 81.8 per cent. showing that cheeserusk- ilg is given over mainly to the factories. The sheep and wool industry makes thepooreat showing of all. The number of sheep in the country has increased since 150 only 2.” per cent. That looks sat! there might baa boom in sheepraisv ing before long. AI Anette: Achilemy little-lenses. Bolt.

The whole plan looks at if it would work well enough after people new used to it. . . It is encouraging to find that the gold production of (mlorado is increasing. Last year the mines yielded $0,000,000 more than the year before, and it is con- ddently expected the addition to the amount will be still greater this year Perhaps the increase will be enough to cover a single one of the large gold ship- ments that go out of New York from time to time every yesr.‘ 0n the average the Colorado gold mines produce overly if not qhite 01,000,000 a month.

Most of such men will be. come habitual vagrahts. fellows that won’t work anyway and will tramp. Notasingle Coxeyite called here for a (dance to do a little work and earn some money while staying in town. Sweet- land‘s company was in New Haven 2.} days and yet not one applied for an op- portunity to work his way. They didn’t want uork. The collection scheme was easier. They prefer the bluffs of ‘Sptrlt of ’78’ ‘We want work.‘ ‘Death to inter- est on bonds,‘ and the rest of such non- sense.But they'll fare poorly at Washing- ton and will have to spread themselves event ually over the country again." The Business Situation. (Weakly Record.) Strikesand industrial armies are the chief feature of the situation in business today. While thousands of men are idle from strikes, in addition to those idle from other causes. it is useless to look for much improvement in general busi- m. Our Statecan congratulate itself on being free from labor disturbances of any magnitude,and, indeed, while busi- nees conditions hereebouta are bad enough they are certainly as good as or better than any locality in the country. The building moon is turning out better than was anticipated, not only here. but in other sections of the country. in New York the activity in the erection of big office buildings is unprecedented, and in Chicago more buildings are being started this year than last year at this time, in spite of the luedicthrn that there would be a big slump afterthe Fair closed. 4..
