The reason for making an investigation -
tion into the business conditions of the
United States this year , as compared
within 1892 , has already been stated in
time American Economist-namely , to
supply a demand made to the American -
can Protective Tariff league for facts
and figures upon the subject. These
demands were so numerous that , after
very deliberate consideration , it was
decided in the interests of the people
to undertake the work , and the result
we now publish.
The idea has been to ascertain the
number of hands that were employed
in the different manufacturing , wholesale -
sale and retail concerns throughout
the country during the period from
Jan. 1 to June 30 , 1892 , and also
during the same months of the
present year. We have also endeavored -
ored to learn the amount of wages
paid to the employees in such establishments -
lishments during each of the two given
periods , and further the output or
the product of the manufacturing
concerns and the per cent of business -
ness done by the wholesale and retail
trade.
Replies have been received from 39
tfferent states and territories in the
United States. These replies have been
carefully compiled and arranged ; first ,
according to the states and territories
from which they were received. The
compilation was next condensed according -
cording to the sections of the country ,
shoving time aggregate results of the
information for each section. We
then show the per cent of losses to
labor or wages , and the loss of output
in each section of the country , also the
average earnings of labor throughout -
out each section of the country.
Further comparisons are made with
the McKinley census of 1892 and ourr
industrial census of 1893 that were undertaken -
dertaken by the American Protective
Tariff league , and pubished in the
American Economist. The last compilation -
pilation is a comparison of the present
conditions within those shown throughout -
out the entire country , according to
the census of 1890 , this following a
statement of the losses by industries.
The first table gives the number of
reports received from each state ; the
total number of hands employed by
the parties making these reports during -
ing the six months ending Juiie 30 ,
1592 , and 1894 , respectively ; then we
have the total amount of wages paid
by these parties to their employees during -
ing the two periods ; and the last column -
umn shows the proportion that their
business of this year bears to the business -
ness they transarted two years ago.
These figures are as follows :

Oregon's Case a Hard One.
An Oregon farmer writes as follows :
In 1892 I got 20 cents per pound cash
in Myrtle Point for my wool as it came
from the sheep's back. I had to haul
it twenty-three miles. In 1893 I shipped
to San Francisco and got 15 cents , paying -
ing all charges , leaving me 13 % cents
per pound net. In 1894 I delivered
again in Myrtle Point and received l0
cents ftir the same quality of wool , cut
from the same flock of sheep-the first
quality clothing wool-for which I got
20 cents in 1892. I forgot to state that
in 1893 no merchants would handle
wool at Myrtle Point. There was no
cash there and all transactions were
for store trade. It ms the same elsewhere -
where through this part of the
country. The value of the sheep has
also depreciated from one third to one
half. The farmer who grows only 250
pounds of wool suffers in proportion
equally with the larger fanner who
raises 10,000 pounds. All the farm
products have fallen in value. Live
beef was worth 2y cents in 1892 ; it was
worth only 2 cents in 1893 , and It/
cents this year. The actual loss per
head on the 2-year-old steers that will
average 1,000 pounds gross is $7.50.
Still there are some democratic
farmers who will shut their eyes and
vote the democratic ticket in time face
of all these facts , but most old time
farmers see things straight and are
now amazed at their own former blind-
ness.
How Industries Were Affected.
The next arrangement we have made
of the reports is to show the average
percentage of this year's output in

It will be noted that according to our
reports there were indeed very few industries -
dustries turning out 75 per cent or
more of the quantity of their product
of 1892. There are some industries
that 11ave turned out less than half.
Those which were most seriously affected -
fected appear to have been the makers
of agricultural implements , v1io , by
the way , generally claim that they are
iot affected by the tariff. The manufacturers
facturers of cutlery , gloves , the mining -
ing industries , pearl buttons , paper
hangers , pottery workers , sheep growers -
ers , the silk and woolen manufacturers
are seriously injured by free trade.
For Labor to Remember.
Can not the working men of America
understand and appreciate the fact
that the democratic majority in congress -
gress refused to grant them a hearing
or to listen to time appeal of men anxious
to earn an honest livelihood , while
these same democratic statesmen were
trying to take from them the opportunity -
tunity to earn a living ? Can not time
American working menthe wage earners -
ers , appreciate that these same democrats -
crats , who refused a hearing to labor ,

Farm Stuffs In Cuba.
Owing to time abrogation of time reciprocity -
iprocity treaty with Cuba the Spanish
government has reimposed duties upon
American products. This is one of the
direct results of democratic free trade
tariff legislation , which helps to shut
off a good market for American farm
products. The first column of time following -
lowing table shows what time duties
were under republican reciprocity , the
last column showing what time Cuban
duties on American farm products are
under the first step of democratic free
trade :

The Gloom of Labor Day ,
The new tariff will cause a readjust-
tent of prices in many departments of
trade. and usuallyy as it tends to lower
them it will tend also to lower wages.
withh she result that laborers will to
dissatisfied and rebellious. Even if
they can buy time same amount of
goods with the less money , they will
be : ao better content. They are afraid
of the precedent of lowering the
scale of wages ; but if American manufacturers -
facturers find that they can not compete -
pete with their foreign competitors
without such a reduction , of course
it will have to , time , and the cper-
atives will have to accept it. The
laborers themselves will recognize tLe
necessity' though only after strong resistance -
sistance to it. Obviously , if the goods
hitherto produced in titis country can
be imported at less cost , time cost of
their home productions must be decreased -
creased , and generally by the reduction -
tion of the price of labor.
Moreover , the disturbance in the
labor market caused by this tariff will
' be the more unfortunate because of
the inequality of the protection afforded -
ed by so undemocratic a measure. It
protects some departments of trade
fully , and it leaves ethers insufficiently
protected or unprotected altogether.
It is false to the forbidden principle -
ple upon which it was con-
structed. What remedy does it make
to labor ? It reduces wages , but it
takes the incomes of the rich. But
what good does that do labor ? Labor
day comes this year , therefore , when
labor is uneasy , anxious and perplexed

Senator Stewart's Responsibility.
I
Senator Stewart has twice had an
opportunity to prevent any tariff leg-
islation. In failing to do so lie has ,
for the moment , forgotten the best interests -
terests of a large section of the state
that sent lmint to congress. Ills taciturnity -
turnity was equivalent to a vote in
favor of a new tariff bill , because his
vote against it would have directly
killed time pending measure. Time wool
growers of Nevada will not forget that
free wool could , by this time , have
been prohibited by the vote of Senator
Stewart. The nursing of a possible
pristine grievance will not compensate
them for time loss to come of millions
of dollars. If time senator front Nevada
has suffered a wrong at the hands of
republican senators it wasbecause protection -
tection was not accorded to one of the
products of his state , which new demands -
mands protection for another of its
prod.rts. The perpetration of .two
wrongs will not render either of tic
two right for Nevada , where protection
is essentiol to its prosperity.
With the Spirit of 1":7C.
Referring to the effort made by the
American Protective tariff league to
encourage time purchase of American
goods , the 11'heelingW. Va. , Intelligence -
gence , , Sept. 1 , said :
The pledge is in harmony with the
spirit of 1776. when the patriotic women -
men of time colonies lead an assault on
the importation of foreign wares , refused -
fused to buy them and extorted everybody -
body to follow their example. George
1Vashington was proud to wear a suit
of home made clothes when he was inaugurated -
augurated as president of the United
States.
And this day American labor produces
alu that is necessary to anybody's com-
fort. If every American will resolve
to buy no foreign merchandise the
sting will be taken out of the new
tariff measure and the country will
have a healthyy prosperity in spite of
democratic interference.
11ow About Those PetItions :
No attention was paid by the democratic -
cratic congress to the thousands of petitions -
titions that were signed by tens of
thousands of voters wino appealed
against free trade. Ask the democrats
who seek re-election to congress in
your district why they now seek your
vote if they would pay no attention to
your petition.

Rentain Paris and Lon j
A correspondent writes : ' ere was
a time when London was supposed to '
be the cheapest capital in tl e world to ' '
live in , not only for the cost of provisions -
ions , but for rent also. Next to it , but
a long way after , came Paris , while Ber- p j
min and Vienna were much dearer than 1
either of the two western cities. It r s
seems to me that London is rapidly los- K'
ing its prestage in cheapness , in one . ,
rt .snect , at least-house rent-in corn-
parison with Paris , even though the inhabitants -
habitants of that city complain with
justice that each-of the various exhibi-'s
tion years through which they have had ; ;
to pass has greatly increased the cost
of existence to those who are not shopkeepers - i
keepers or landlords. I have jpt come
from a considerable stay t : . Paris. At
first I occupied a flat in the Avenue
Wagram , consist of six rooms and
a bath room'ior which I paid 80 a year ,
and afxerivards Itook one on the Bonle-
ward'Malesherbes , containing one room
more and to which there was a lift , for
which I gave 100. Now , these localities -
who has been to
ities , as everybody
Paris knows , are much better than
Bloomsbury , or Westminister , or St.
John's Wood , and yet when I seek a
flat in these districts of about the same
size of those 1 occupied in the French
capital I am asked to pay 150 , 250
and 350 ! Time thing is absurd. It ms
true that all rates and taxes are included -
ed , but time sum one had to pay in taxes
in Paris above the rent was very small
-about 3. As farasmiddle class flats
in London are concerned the rents are
now at least 40 to 50 per cent higher
than in Paris and the accommodation
is not nearly so good.-London ' 'ele-

There is more Catarrh in this section of 1
the country than all other diseases put together
gether , and until the last few years was ,
supposed to bo incurable. Fora great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease and prescribed local remedies , anti
by constantly failing to euro with local
tratment , renounced it incurable. Scm- r
enco has proven catarrh to be a constitutional -
tional disease , and therefore requires constitutional -
stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure ; manufactured by F. J. Cheney eS ; Co. ,
Toledo , Ohio , is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken internally
in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It
acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces -
faces of the system. They olYer ono hundred -
dred dollars for any case it fails to cure.

Selecting an Orange.
Plig oranges are not good. They arb ; l
all skin and fibre. If you want a . 'yel-
low cup of ( vine" buy small fruit , that '
is , fruit that runs 175 to 200 to the box. I
Weigh it in the hand ; take the heaviest. ,
Sweet , sound oranges are full of wine
and sugar and very heavy. A thin. ' :
smooth skin is a good sign. Wide , deep ,
pored skins are unmistakable signs of
a coarse , spongy article. Bright , yellow -
low oranges usually cost more than russet -
set because they are prettier. When
the commission merchant buys in a hurry -
ry he saves time by taking an orange
in his hands and squeezing it to death.
If it runs a cup of wine he takes as much
of the cargo as he needs. If it runs ,
dry he cuts the price orrefuses to trade.
There is no surer way to tell the value
of an orange , mandarin or grape fruit.
