The revenue to be derived from the Gorman tariff bill is just $74, 000,000 short of being", .sufficient to meet the needs of the government. What are the democrats going" to do about it? An exchange says that during the past twenty-five years of peace" Europe has spent $2,500, 000,000 in preparations for war. It is therefore evident that "peace" is more costly than war. The eastern democrats will send about twenty plug hat orators to the western states with a view of unifying the party on the money question. To a man up a tree it would seem the orators have a big contract on their hands. The only industry which has not suffered during these days of democratic adversity is that of multiplying and replenishing the earth. During the past year the number of children of school age in this country has increased 450,000. At the school election held at Chapman this week the fight was between the "pops" and the pro hibitionists, and the two factions came very near to having a huge sized riot When two such organ izations get together there is apt to be considerable trouble. Exports of corn fell off by 3,600, 000 bushels in March 1895, as com pared with March 1894: of wheat 100,000 bushels and of flour 1,800, 000 barrels. That is how thefarm ers are letting themselves out into the markets of the world arid the barrel factories are letting them selves out of work.

Fremont Tribune. The number of immigrants arriving during the first ten months of this fiscal year is 193,621; at this rate the number for the whole year will be 222,345. Since 1880 no such small number had been registered. The immigration of 1893 added 502r917 to our population, that of 1S8U added 669,431. In 1882 the number of immigrants was 778,992; in 1887 it was 546,889. The decrease cannot be considered as an unmixed evil. The yearly addition of from half to three-fourths of a million of foreigners to our population neces sarily was not without danger to the stability ot our institutions. Especially was this the case when the character of the immigration changed rtrom almost exclusively rural to almost exclusively urban. So long as the wild lands of the west were plentiful and cheap the European peasant who came as a recruit to the army of agricultural industry was a welcome accession. But when the European stream began to blow cityward the wel come to its human freightage began to grow cold. At present we are, and, perhaps, eternally henceforthiTsand through a sieve or a populist shall be. more exercised concernin the best means of securing libe compensation for the workmen th we have than concermrir the best means of increasing- the number of I citizens. Inter Ocean. 3?- WE exported less wheat to foreign countries by H2 per cent this year than last year. The cheapness was not even an inducement. Russia supplied our deficiency. She in creased her exports of wheat to Europe 66 per cent. America dropped off 13,000,000 bushels, and Sussia iriceased hers by 18,500,000 bushels. Democratic papery are taking much, pains to tell the laboring man how much cheaper everything is nowadays and what bargains be can have if he will, only pitch in and buy. And all this owing to the Wilson tariff bilL The thoughts of -the. workingmen when they read such stuff can,beste,inferredfrom the reply which one ot them made to 3. man advancing a similar argu ment. Said this latter to the laborer: 'Jack, you have saved up some money, why don't you go to work and put up a .home of your own? Why, man, you never could build as cheap as you can now, ever since the Wilson bill is in effect." Said the laboring man: Yes, d n the Wilson bill. I have, been out of a job ever since it was passed and mv savings are crone." 'rne jaur- lington Hawk-Eye. .

With exceedingly cheap land aud economy of production and handling carried to u remark able length by commercial ingenu ltv, the American producers are yet baffled by the magnitude o their own operations, ioudiy as the American farmers complain, they at all events have plenty. Most of them would probably have failed to enjoy as much as this had they remained in European cities to glut the labor market. They desire, however, to command more of the good things of life, and it is from them that the demand comes for all softs of economic experi ments.
