Now the best financiers are eager to tale govern­ ment bonds at 2 per cent. These facts are commended to the attention of the bankruptcy howlers. lOTThe owner of a pig succeeded in getting it carried clear across the State v / *of Pennsylvania the other day in the ^^jbaggage car of a passenger train at an expense of fl.25.

' ®-lf any iarmers desire to lock up ..••I., their products and become subject to the v;',f>^illv,of some central authority in the tnatter of sales, they will not be of that ; V .

Sensible iarmers will continue to be masters of their own business instead torning it * over to irresponsible theorists. * ' f , Why does any city or town wel- •ome within its borders a new manufac­ turing industry? Because the industry brings laborers who make good custom- era for merchants and farmers. Welsh fin-plate makers will be cordially received In the United States for the same reason, And because of the additional fact that they will help put on its feet a new craft In which thousands of American laborers Will soon find employment. u- ' ?' ' I®" A treaty of reciprocity with the • ^republic of San Domingo has recently g^f jtjeen signed by President Harrison, Sec- ; . tetary Blaine and the representative of a? 's.^e republic in Washington. The treaty ' Is very favorable to the United States |\ . and will also prove very advantageous til* to San Domingo. Nearly all of our agri- fp^xcultural products are to be admitted free »f duty at Dominican ports. The nego- t tiation of this treaty will increase our interest in the Dominican republic, and ?f', give it a considerable advantage over 5t'- Hayti. '•'] lk£F Hon. John J. Ingalls in his recent • , speech at Madison, has this to say of Kansas: |fe 4 "Although Kansas has been a prohibi- k tion state since 1880, there is no place that one cannot obtain intoxicating | liquors, and in the cities the bulk of the expenses of the municipal government kik are paid by taxes on the saloons in the y * " shape of fines." Every word of the above is true, as even the strongest advocates of prohi­ bition have admitted. In Leavenworth • it is admitted that there are not less than ,200 places where liquor is sold and liquor too that is simply deadly. A Level Headed Alliance Kta. The alliance party Is not wholly desti­ tute of sensible, practical men. One of these is IJ. 0. Hall, president of the Mis­ souri organization. Mr. Hall has recent­ ly presented some forcible objections to the sub-treasury scheme. He says it would work something like this: A farm­ er to obtain a supply of currency, would first have to harvest his crop and place it in a government warehouse. It would be necessary to lock up the grain before obtaining the money. The result would be an abundance of currency and conse­ quent high prices for all commodities. The farmer would have a pocket full of money but would have to pay it out rap­ idly for all the necessaries and comforts of life. Meanwhile, however, his grain would be housed, and bofore he could get possession of it he would have to return the currency to government officials Then a scarcity of money aud a shrink­ age in prices would follow. Thus his wheat would be thrown on. the market at a most unfavorable time for its salo at good prices. Mr. Hall takes notice of the fact that the E^fjjouut of money in circulation has a powerful influence on prices, and argues that the sub-treasury scheme-would have two serious disadvantages. It would make money plentiful and prices high when the farmer is a buyer, and would make money scarce and prices low when he is a seller. The variations in the vol­ ume of his currency would be tremendous, for the harvesting and storage of wheat would result in an immense outpour of government notes at special seasons of the year, while the retirement of the grain would come together, making nec­ essary a sale of the latter at great sacri­ fices, on account of its flooding the mar­ ket in a time of violent contraction of the circulating medium. These views are those of a long-headed business man, and have great force, even conceding that the proposed issue of money would have in­ trinsic value and stability. "As it would be a sort of wild-cat currency, however, based mainly on the speed of printing machines, its disturbing character be­ comes more plainly apparent. Mr. Hall has uttered sensible words of caution, though it is hardly to be expected that he will be able to reform the fantastic financial views of all his political com­ rades. If he should succeed in doing so, tht occupation of the Alliance leaders would be gone. Some of them are preach­ ing the wildest kind of political heresies, but it is not believed that the great mass of farmers will plunge into experiments of a worse than dubious character and try to upset well tested principles of busi­ ness and commerce. Canadian Insolence. When the Canadian government sets out to be small and insulting it usually succeeds. Some members of the Grand Army visiting Detroit were quartered at Windsor, just across the river on Cana dian soil. In honor of the G. A. R. many houses in Winsor were decorated with the American colors. These decorations so enraged a few Tory loyalists that they telegraphed to the minister of militia, Mr. Carson, at Ottawa, for protection from the American emblems. This official ordered that the decorations be removed and the militia was called out to execute the order. After the American colors were removed Grand Army men left the town. The Tories of Canada will succeed in completely estranging that country and the United States. It seems to be the policy of the Tories to isolate Canada as far as possible, and then demand tribute from the United States. In the past too much has been done for the benefit of the insolent and grasping British colonies. There is no reason for offering them any­ thing in the way of reciprocity or other favors. 4H . 4* <- m IGF* Under the guise of a great discov- < ^ ery, several metropolitan journals have LU' been Polishing a very clever advertise- P•£-. ment for a certain eastern advertising y"_ ' agent. In it the agent claims to have discovered that some druggists are try- J|yy ing to sell goods in which there is a good profit, in preference to certain "standard" ; proprietary articles, upon which there is f lews margin. This antediluvian "discov­ery" is made the excuse for giving these few monopolists, mentioned as "stand­ard," a place in the editorial columns ' v *rom which all advertising matter is pre- |> sum ably excluded. It is a very clever ffe 8ebeme' wel1 elated--Every Saturday. v\ ^ e ^ave had some less less than a doz- •y of tbe above frauds sent to us, but we N?" ^ not bite» and we are astonished that y,, 80 ma*»y of our brethren of the press || t have been inveigled into giving these - sharks free advertising. pi* ^ • •®*®y ^e thirty-second annual report p. of the Chicago & Northwestern company gfv,; the gross passenger earnings for the year |f.y, ended May 31 were 16,700,351.38.

At least five establishments are mak­ ing American tin-plate in large quanti­ ties. They are: , TheN. & G. Taylor Company, Phila­ delphia; United States Tin-plate Com­ pany, Demmler, Pa.; Norton Bros., Chi­ cago ; St. Louis Stamping Company, St. Louis; P. H. Laufman & Co., Apollo, Pa. Between twenty and thirty other firms are erecting works and putting in ma­ chinery, and before many months will be placing their product on the market. American tin roofs have been put on buildings ip various parts of the country at less cost, considering the quality, than roofs of foreign tin. Norton Bros., of Chicago, make nearly enough tin- plate to satisfy their own demands, and they do an immense business in canning fish, meat, fruit and vegetables. The home industry ih coming to the front. When it is fairly under way, no Welsh trust can put up prices arbitrarily, be­ cause the domestic product will be a factor in the market and protect consum­ ers against foreign extortions. Protec­ tion works both ways. It sustains home industries and breaks up combinations of old-world monopolists. C. P; BARNE8f Attorney. STAftc Or ILLINOIS, McHenry County.

MANUFACTURERS AND OF THE ANNUAL CAPACITY 1.500.000 BARRELS Otfit method of bottling beer is the only and the best way for the simple reason that the beer goes direct from the cask to the bottle. Our brewery is the only one in the United States that conveys the beer di­ rect from the storage cellars through an underground pipe line to the bottling department, where it is bottled without once being exposed to the open air and its impurities. It is thus kept at the same low tem­ perature of the storage cellars all the time. A recent act of Congress allows us to operate a Pipe Line be­ tween our Brewery and our Bottling House. This great innovation enables the Pabst Brewing company, the largest establishment of its kind in the world, to furnish the public bottled beer for family or table use which contains as much natural life as a glass drawn from a freshly tapped barrel. Visitors to Milwaukee are cois dially invited to inspect the operation of our new line. THE BOTTLED BEERS OF THIS BBEWEBYABE 9010 ALL OYER THE CIVILIZED WORLD. AgMQit in AH ih* Loading Citii*.
