The report of Labor Commissioner Peck, ofNewYork, shows that daring the year i89l, m about six Oiousaud manufacturing establishments in that 8tate embraced within the special inquiry made by him: and representing 67 different inJustries, there was a net increase over the year 181*3 of 131,915,130.63 in- the valua of tne product, and^f €6,377,935.09 in the amount of Wagas paid* Thereportof the commissioner of labor for the State of Massachusetts shows that S745 industries in that State paid 1129,4:6,248 in wages during the year 189L against «126\030,303 in 189), an mcreaSe of {3,335,945, and that there was an increase of $9,933,490 in the amount of capital and of 7346 in the number ot persons employed in the same period. SiVINGS OP THE PEOPLE. Another indication of the general pros- perity of the country is found in the fact that the number of depositors in savings banks increased from 693,870 in 1860 to 4,- 858.893 in 1890, an increase of 513 per cent, md the amount of deposits from 8149,377* 504 in 1860 to $1,524,844,536 in 1890, an in- srease of Oil per cant In 1891 the amount »f deposits in savings banks was $1,633,079,- T49. It is estimated that 90 per cent, of these deposits represent the savings of wage* Jarners, The bank clearances for nine months ending September 30,189Lamounted to #41,049,390,808, For the same months in 1893 they amounted to #45,189,601,947, anex- se8S for the nine months of £4,140,211,133. There has never been a time in our his- tory when work was so abundant or when ivages were as high, whether measured by ibe currency in which taey are paid or by their power to supply the neeassaries anl jomforts of life, it is true, that the market prices of cotton and wheat have been low. It is one of the unfavorable incidents of ag- riculture that the farmer cannot produce ipon orders. He must sow ani reap in i?- aoranee of the aggregate production of the fear, and is peculiarly subject to the depre- riation which follows overproduction. VALOB OF FARM PRODUCTS. The value of our total farm proiucts has tacreaaed from $1,363,646,S65 in 1860 to $4,- iOO.000,000 in 1891, as estimated by statis- ticians, an increase of 230 per cent. The number of hogs Jaomry 1,1801, was50,623,- 106 and their value $2t0,193,v£5; on January I, 1892, the number was 52,39S,019 an 3 the ralue $341,081,415. On January 1, 1801 the number of cattle was 36i875,6l9 and the ralue 1541,127,908; on January 1, 1893. the aumber was 37,651,339 and the value 8570.- r49,155. If any are discontented with this state ttere; if any believe that wa?es or prices, she returns for honest toil, are inadequate, they should not fail to remember that there s no other country in th3 world where the sonditions that seem to them hard would oot be accepted as highly prosperous. The English agriculturist would be glat to ex- jhange the returns of his labor for those of the American farmer, and the Man- ghester workmen their wages for those of their fellows at Pall River. A WORO FOB PROTECriOS. I believe that the protective system, which has now for something more thsn thirty fears continuously prevailed in our legisla- tion, has been a mighty instrument for the development of our national wealth ani a most powerful agency in protecting the homes of our woFkingmm from the inva- sion of want; I have felt a most solicitous interesttopreserve to our working people rates of wages that would not only give daily bread but supply a comfortable mar- gin for those home attractions and family comforts ani enjoyments without which life is neither hopai'ul nor sweet. it is not my purpose to renew here the argument in favor of a protective tariff. The result of the recent election must be ac- cepted as having introduce! a new policy. We must assume that the present tariff, constructed upon the lines of protection, is to be repealed, and that there is to be sub- stituted for it a tariff law constructed solely with reference to revenue; that no duty is to be higher because the increase will, keep open au American mill or keep up the wages of an American workman, but that in every case snc:i a rate of duty l $ to be imposad as will bring to the Treasury of the United States the largest returns of revenue. The contention has not been between schedules, but between principles, and It would be offensive to suggest that the pre- vailing party wiU not carry into legislation the principles advocated by it en I the pledges given to the people, The tariff bills passed by the House of Representat'.ves at the last session were, as I suppose—even in the opinion of their promoters—inadequate, and justified only by the fact that the Senate and Souse of Rspreseatativaa were not in accord and that a general revision could not, therefore, be undertaken. I recommend that the whole subject of tariff revision be left to the incoming Con- gress, it is matter of regret that this work must be delayel for at least tares month;; fortiitethreat of great tariff changes intro- duces so much uncertainty that an amount, not easily estimated, of business inaction and of diminished reduction will necessarily result. ItUpossibl* also that this uncer- tainty may result in decreased revenues from customs duties, for our merchants will make cautious orders for foreign goods in view of the prospect ot tariff reductions ana the uncertainty as to when they will take effect. LABOR AND THE TABIFT. The strained and too often disturbed rela- tions existing between thj employes and the employers in our great manufacturing establishments haV9 not been favorabletoa calm consideration by the wa;e earner of the effect upon wajes of the prute otive sys- tem. The facts thit his wares were the highest paid in li.;e callings m the world and that a.mainteaanbe of this rate of wages, in the absanca ot protective duties upon tho product ot his labor, was impossible, were obscured by the passion evoked by these contests. He mav now be abletoreview the question in the light of hts personal experience under the operation of a tariff for revenue only. It that excellence shall demonstrate that pres- ent rates of wages are thereby maintained or increased, either absolutely or in their purchasing power, and that the aggregate volume of work to be done ia this country is to be increased, or even matcftained, so that there are more or as many days' work in a sear at as good or better wages for the American, workmen as has been tha case under lha protective system, every ona will rejoice, A general process of wage reduction can not to contemplated by any patriotic cttazsn without the gravest appreaeijsion, ic may b«,tnd«d I bear*.

" \ ' ^" v- ^ - t A treaty providing for the arbitratianjdf- the dispute between Great, Britain and the United States, as to the bdUasorsealsinfcnV Bering Sea was co^claied on itha 39th of February last. This treaty:was abcosnpauiefil- by an agreement prohibiting pslagic sealing pending the arbitration, anl a vigorous effort was made during this season to drive out alt poaching sealers from jthe*" Bisring Ssa.Slx naval vessels, three revenue cuttsref and one vessel from. the pish Commission, all under the command of Commander Evans, of the Navy, were sent into &e seas, which was systematically patrojleiv Soma seizures were made) knd it ia believed that the eaten in the Wring Sea M p6ache|s amounted to less than 509 'seals. S It Is true,' however, that in the North Eaeiflc, while the seal herds wers on ^heir fMajr.|o^sa passes between the Aleutian Islands, a- very large number, probably 33,000, were taken. CANADA AND THE UNITED STATUSI. The controversy astotolls upon the Wel- lanl Canal, which was presented to Con- gress at the last session by special message, having failed of adjustment, ' I felt con- strainedtoexercise ijue authority conferred by the act of July 20, 1893, andtoproclaim a suspension of tha|free use of St> Marys Falls CanaltocargoAs in transit to ports m Canada, The Secretary of th& Treasury established such tolls as Were thought to be equivalent to the exactions Ufljustly levied upon our commerce in the Canadian canals. There is no disposition on the part ot the people or Government of the United States to interfere in the smallest degree with the political relations of panada. Thai question is, wholly with her own paople. It a. time for us, however,toconsider whether,- i f the present state of things and trend , of things istocontinue, our interchanges upon lines of land transportation should not be pot up- on a different basis; 'anl our entire inde- pendence of Canadiaacanala and of the St. Lawrence as au outlettothe sea secured by the construction ofi an American canal around the Falls of Niagai a and the open- ing of ship communication betwaah the Great Lakes and one of our[ own seaports. We should not hesitate to availoursalve* of our great natural trade advantages. We should withdraw thelsupport which isjgiven to the railroads and steamship lines of Can- ada by a traffic that'{properly balongsto ua, and no longer furniih the earnings 'which lighten the otherwisacrushing weight .of the enormous public subsidies that have been giventothem. Thei subject of th.e powerof the Treasury to deal with this matter with- out further legislation has been under con- sideration, but circumstances have post- poned a conclusion. | i t is probable that a consideration of the propriety of a modifica- tion or abrogation of the article- of the Treaty of Washington relating to transit of goods in bond is myjolvei in any complete solution of the question. THE CHILEAN TBOOBM. Congress at the list session was bept ad- vised of the progre3spf the serious andtora time threatening differences between the United States and Chile, It gives me now great satisfactiontoreport that the Chilean Government, in a incfst friendly and honor- able spirit, has tenderel ani paid as an in- demnitytothe families of toe sailors of the Baltimore who were hilled and to those who were injured in the outbreak in the city of Valparaiso the sum df $75,-030. This b i s been accepted, not only as an indemnity for a wrong done, but as la most gratifying evi- dence that the Goveijnmaat of Chile.rightly appreciates the disposition ot this' Govern-, inenttoact in a spirit of the moss absolute fairness and frieniuhssj in our intereousa with that brave people. A further and con- clusive evidence of the mutual respect and confidence now existing is furnished by the fact that a con ventiojn submitting to arbitra- tion the mutual claims of the citizens of the respective Governments has been agreed upon. THE ITAIjIAN AFFAIR. ' The friendly act of this Government in expressing to the Government of Italy its reprobation and abhorrence ot the lynching of Italian subjects la New (Meant, by the payment of 12 >,000 francs, or $.4,3)0.93, was accepted by the Kiog ot Italy with every manifestation of gracious appreciation, and the incident has been highly promotive of mutual respect and good will. HOPEFUL FOB SILVER. The Congress has been already advised that the invitations of this Government for the assembling of an International Monetary Conference to consider the question ot an enlarged use of silver were accepted by the nationstowhich thdv were addressed. The conference assembled at Brussels on the 231 of November and has entered upon the consideration of this great question. I have not doubted, and have not taken occasion to express that belief, as welt .in the invitations issued for this conference as in my public messages, that the free coinage ef silver upon an ^ agreed international ratio would greatly promote the interest of our people and equally those' o! other nations. It is too early to predict what results may be accomplished ny the conference. If any temporary check ox delay intervenes, I believe that very soon commercial conditions will compel the now reluctant Governments to nnite.jWith us in this movementtosecure the enlargement ot of the volume of coined money needed lot the transaction of the business of the world. THE TREASURY. The report of the Secretary of the Treas- ury will attract especial Interest in view of the many misleading st itatnsnts that have been made astothe state of the public rev- enues. Three preliminary facts should not only be state!, bull emphasized, before look- ing into details: First, thifc the public debt has been reduced since March 4, 1889, $259,074,333, and the annual interest charge Sl'^6'5t,469; second, that thsra have Dseu paid out for pen- sions during tais administration up to November i, 189 1, $432,564,178.79, an excess of $114,466,3^6.09 over the sum expended during the pwioi fron Marca 1, 18SJ&' to March 1,1889, and third, that under tha ex- isting tariff up to Deseoaberl about $93,- 000,000 of revenue, which would have beau collected noon imports 1 sugars if the duty had been maintained, has gone into-the pockets of the people and not into the pub- lic treasury, as before. It there are any who still think that Hie surplus should have been kept out of circu- lation by hoarding i t i a the Treasury, or deposited in favored banks witaoot interest while the Government continued t o pay to these very ban'<cs interest upon the bonds deposited as security' for the deposits,'or who think that the extended pension legis- lation was- a public robbery, of that" the duties noon sugar should have been nwbi* tained, I am content to leave «»argument where it now rest, while we l wait to" see whether these criticisms will take the form of legislation. The revenues for the fiscal year ending June 30,1893, from all source J were«25,- 868,260.2?, and the expenditures for all par- poses were $415,953,836.56, leaving a balance of $9,914,45§.60. There werepatt during the year upon the public debt t4^530,- 467.98.. The «urpfus in the Treasury and the bank redemption fund, passed by taeact ot July 14,189JJ, to the general fund,, fur- nished in large part the cish available: and used for the payments made upon the pub- lic debt. Compared with the year lSSftour receipts fr«o. customs duties fell off $43,- 06J>24LC8, while our receipts frOnTinternal revenue increased $8,234,833.13, leaving the net loss of revenue from these principal sources $33,764,417.95. The net loss of revenue from all sources was $33,675.97^,81. The revenues, estimated and aotu*l, for the fiscal year eating June 30, 1893, are placed by the Secretary at $463,333,353.44 and the expenditures at $461,333,350.44, showing a surplus ot receipts over expendi- tures of $2,030,000, The cash balance in tha Treasury at the end of thefiscalyear It is estimated will be $20,392,877.03. ,, I The estimate Irecaiots for the fiscal year ending June. 37, 1891. are $493,123-865.88, and the estimated appropriations $457,061,- 335.33, leaving an estimated turnhn of re- ceipts over expenditures of $32,830,033.05. This does not include any payment to the sJabingfund. SILVAR BOPGBT A5D CQIjrZD.

Certain protection/rom alum baking powders can behacLb'y declining to accept any substitute, for the Royal, which is absolutely pure, Frtfit for Food. i . *, Fruit culture, should, be. ojuite as Closely associated with family use as with market. I have eaten apples alf my life,' but never learneilhpw to make the best use oi them till last winter; it "is worth living half a century fo find out the real value of the fruit. How we eat apples half art boor before our meals in- stead of afterward. We eat all we want before breakfast and before dinner. The result has bees so decidedly In favor of the fruit, diet that we faave very largely dropped,meat. The action of the 'acid is then admirable in aiding diges- tion, while if eaten after- mealsthe apple is likely to prove a burden. We follow the same line in using grapes, pears, cherries and berries. ., j If disturbed jby a headache or dys- pepsia in summer, I climb a cherry tree and eat all' I can reach and relish. Ia order to have cherries all summer I cover a dozen trees with mosquito netting to feeep off the birds. Currants and gooseberries I find very wholesome eaten raw from the bushes before going to the dining table. . Natpte has prepared a, large amount of food already cooked, exactly fitted for all demands of the human system. ! Our kitchen cooking never equals nature's. I am by no menus a vegetarian or ja ira^ajrian, but I am convinced that wp have not yet mc as ired the value of fruit as a diet with milk, eggs and vegetables. Some-one being told that such fruit would not give a workman muscular strength, pointed to to his adviser's oxen, saying, **tst these oxen eat no meat.'*—Aiperican Garden- ing. I .- ) ; , r tfriFei y 1 We have been challenged,!© pronounce an opinion on the-dietetic virtues of tripe, an article of food wlpeh is largely consumed in certain parts of the country, especially during the .winter months. Tripe consists of the Soft muscular walls and mucous membrane of the stomach of ruminant animals^ with a small propor- tion of'delicate omental fat adhering, from which, however, all fibrous portions of ]the serous covering, or_ peritoneum, have been removed. I?rom frequent ex- periments it has been proved that tripe stands high in the list of albuminous substances that are quickly acted on by the,gastric juice and reduced fo a state ot solution, and has, therefore, acquired -a reputation for digestibility* ; But plain boiled tripe in itself is a very insipid article of food, and in order to make it palatable the art of the cook has to be invoked, which, while making it more "savory," causes it often, -when so served, to be an offense to the stomach. The usual mode of serving tripe in this country is to boil it with milk and onions, and there can belittle doubt that such a combination is not particularly digestible. Tripe is also sometimes fried in batter, but unless very carefully cooked it is apt to become leathery. If only plainly boiled in water it requires a con- siderable amount of condiments in the shape of salt, pepper and mustard to make it acceptable fo the palate There- fore, tripe as usually cooked, though'an excellent dish for strong stomachs, is, owing-to. the ingredients added to it, not always so suitable for persons of weak digestion as has been supposed,—-Loudon Lancet. - i; Ti,, 1 u^mmmmip ' ''' A Bog a* Po^tmEster'g Assistant. A little posfoiSee pear WJJmer's, on the main Hoe of the Pennsylvania Bail- road, enjoys th? unique distinction of beiDg the only office in the country wherein a dog officiates as assistant postmaster. Postman Musstemira's ca- nine assistant is a little. St, Charles- spaniel called Beauty, upon whom has devolved for five years the task of bringing from Witnier"s station, a half- mile distant, the bundle of morning pa- pers from Philadelphia. Two bundles, a large one and a small one, are thrown off at the station. . Regularly every morning Beauty trots over the fields to the station and patiently awaits the ar- rival of the train. When the two bun- dies are thrown ofi Beauty "seizes the smaller one in her mouth and trots directly home. She never makes a mistake, always taking the smaller bun- dle; neither does she loiter along by the roadside, but covers the distance be- tween Witmer's and the cross-roads poatoffice iX a speed that would do credit to Nancy Banks herself. Beauty has been assistant postmaster almost nice her birth, and could hardly be eplaced.—Philadelphia Record. % « Weather Predictions by Coffee. A Spanish journal tells of an inter- esting experiment to be tried with a cup of clear coffee and a lump of sugar. The sugar should be dropped into the coffee without stirring; ia a moment the air contained in the sugar will rise to the surface in the shape of bubbles, and these bubbles are excellent weather in- dications. If they collect in the middle of the cup a fair day follows; if, adversely, they adhere to the sides, forming a ring of bubbles with a clear space in the cen- tre, take your umbrella, for rain is at hand; while, if they do neither Due thing nor the other, but scatter irregu- larly, variable weather is indicated. Just what is the scientific explanation of the action of the atmosphere on the bubbles is not stated, but tbat their in- dications curiously agree with those qf £ barometer has been tested.—New York Times. "August Flower" "One of my neighbors, Mr. John Gilbert** lias been sick for a long time. All Ujought him past recovery. He : was horribly emaciated from the inaction of his liver and kidneys. It is difficult to describe his appear- ance and the miserable state of his health at that time. Helpfromany source seemed impossible. He tried your August Flower and the effect upon him was magical. It restored him to perfect health to the great astonishment of his family and friends." JohnQ^ribell, Holt, Ont,® I THE KIND I 1 THAT CURES- i s JOHK KTBKEY, 2ND, ' S| . ' : M»-seua, N.

pess I have great satisfaction is betas able to say that the general conlitions affeotine lit <n^fAmi to«a*trial interest of the unrtedtstatesareinthe aighejfc degree favorable. A comparison of the existing conditions with those of the most favored period in the history of the country will. I believe, show that so high a degree of pros-P«%and,sOjgeneraladiffasfonof thecom-rorts ©f Ufe were never before enjoyei by ourpeoplev j **+»*

The official returns of the Eleventh Cen. sus and those of the Tenth Census for 75 leading cities furnish the basis for the fol­lowing comparisons:

In 1880 the capital invested in manufac­turing was $1,23^839,670.

In 1890 the capital invested in manufac­turing was $3,900,733,884. , l?i ol?3 t n e n t t m D s r °f employes was l ,o01,0S8.

The report of Labor Commissioner Peck, ofNewYork, shows that daring the year i89l, m about six Oiousaud manufacturing establishments in that 8tate embraced within the special inquiry made by him: and representing 67 different inJustries, there was a net increase over the year 181*3 of 131,915,130.63 in- the valua of tne product, and^f €6,377,935.09 in the amount of Wagas paid* The report of the commissioner of labor for the State of Massachusetts shows that S745 industries in that State paid 1129,4:6,248 in wages during the year 189L against «126\030,303 in 189), an mcreaSe of {3,335,945, and that there was an increase of $9,933,490 in the amount of capital and of 7346 in the number ot persons employed in the same period.

S i V I N G S OP THE PEOPLE. Another indication of the general pros­

perity of the country is found in the fact that the number of depositors in savings banks increased from 693,870 in 1860 to 4,-858.893 in 1890, an increase of 513 per cent, md the amount of deposits from 8149,377* 504 in 1860 to $ 1,524,844,536 in 1890, an in-srease of Oil per cant In 1891 the amount »f deposits in savings banks was $1,633,079,-T49. It is estimated that 90 per cent, of these deposits represent the savings of wage* Jarners, The bank clearances for nine months ending September 30,189Lamounted to #41,049,390,808, For the same months in 1893 they amounted to #45,189,601,947, anex-se8S for the nine months of £4,140,211,133.

There has never been a time in our his­tory when work was so abundant or when ivages were as high, whether measured by ibe currency in which taey are paid or by their power to supply the neeassaries anl jomforts of life, it is true, that the market prices of cotton and wheat have been low. It is one of the unfavorable incidents of ag­riculture that the farmer cannot produce ipon orders. He must sow ani reap in i?-aoranee of the aggregate production of the fear, and is peculiarly subject to the depre-riation which follows overproduction.

VALOB OF FARM PRODUCTS.

The value of our total farm proiucts has tacreaaed from $1,363,646,S65 in 1860 to $4,-iOO.000,000 in 1891, as estimated by statis­ticians, an increase of 230 per cent. The number of hogs Jaomry 1,1801, was50,623,-106 and their value $2t0,193,v£5; on January I, 1892, the number was 52,39S,019 an 3 the ralue $341,081,415. On January 1, 1801 the number of cattle was 36i875,6l9 and the ralue 1541,127,908; on January 1, 1893. the aumber was 37,651,339 and the value 8570.-r49,155.

If any are discontented with this state ttere; if any believe that wa?es or prices, she returns for honest toil, are inadequate, they should not fail to remember that there s no other country in th3 world where the sonditions that seem to them hard would oot be accepted as highly prosperous. The English agriculturist would be glat to ex-jhange the returns of his labor for those of the American farmer, and the Man-ghester workmen their wages for those of their fellows at Pall River.

A WORO FOB PROTECriOS.

I believe that the protective system, which has now for something more thsn thirty fears continuously prevailed in our legisla­tion, has been a mighty instrument for the development of our national wealth ani a most powerful agency in protecting the homes of our woFkingmm from the inva­sion of want; I have felt a most solicitous interest to preserve to our working people rates of wages that would not only give daily bread but supply a comfortable mar­gin for those home attractions and family comforts ani enjoyments without which life is neither hopai'ul nor sweet.

it is not my purpose to renew here the argument in favor of a protective tariff. The result of the recent election must be ac­cepted as having introduce! a new policy. We must assume that the present tariff, constructed upon the lines of protection, is to be repealed, and that there is to be sub­stituted for it a tariff law constructed solely with reference to revenue; that no duty is to be higher because the increase will, keep open au American mill or keep up the wages of an American workman, but that in every case snc:i a rate of duty l $ to be imposad as will bring to the Treasury of the United States the largest returns of revenue.

The contention has not been between schedules, but between principles, and It would be offensive to suggest that the pre­vailing party wiU not carry into legislation the principles advocated by it en I the pledges given to the people, The tariff bills passed by the House of Representat'.ves at the last session were, as I suppose—even in the opinion of their promoters—inadequate, and justified only by the fact that the Senate and Souse of Rspreseatativaa were not in accord and that a general revision could not, therefore, be undertaken.

I recommend that the whole subject of tariff revision be left to the incoming Con­gress, it is matter of regret that this work must be delayel for at least tares month;; for tiite threat of great tariff changes intro­duces so much uncertainty that an amount, not easily estimated, of business inaction and of diminished reduction will necessarily result. ItUpossibl* also that this uncer­tainty may result in decreased revenues from customs duties, for our merchants will make cautious orders for foreign goods in view of the prospect ot tariff reductions ana the uncertainty as to when they will take effect.

LABOR AND THE TABIFT. The strained and too often disturbed rela­

tions existing between thj employes and the employers in our great manufacturing establishments haV9 not been favorable to a calm consideration by the wa;e earner of the effect upon wajes of the prute otive sys­tem. The facts thit his wares were the highest paid in li.;e callings m the world and that a.mainteaanbe of this rate of wages, in the absanca ot protective duties upon tho product ot his labor, was impossible, were obscured by the passion evoked by these contests. He mav now be able to review the question in the light of hts personal experience under the operation of a tariff for revenue only. It that excellence shall demonstrate that pres­ent rates of wages are thereby maintained or increased, either absolutely or in their purchasing power, and that the aggregate volume of work to be done ia this country is to be increased, or even matcftained, so that there are more or as many days' work in a sear at as good or better wages for the American, workmen as has been tha case under lha protective system, every ona will rejoice,

A general process of wage reduction can not to contemplated by any patriotic cttazsn without the gravest appreaeijsion, ic may

A treaty providing for the arbitratianjdf-the dispute between Great, Britain and the United States, as to the bdUasorsealsinfcnV Bering Sea was co^claied on itha 39th of February last. This treaty:was abcosnpauiefil-by an agreement prohibiting pslagic sealing pending the arbitration, anl a vigorous effort was made during this season to drive out alt poaching sealers from jthe*" Bisring Ssa.Slx naval vessels, three revenue cuttsref and one vessel from. the pish Commission, all under the command of Commander Evans, of the Navy, were sent into &e seas, which was systematically patrojleiv Soma seizures were made) knd it ia believed that the eaten in the Wring Sea M p6ache|s amounted to less than 509 'seals. S It Is true,' however, that in the North Eaeiflc, while the seal herds wers on ^heir fMajr.|o^sa passes between the Aleutian Islands, a- very large number, probably 33,000, were taken.

CANADA AND THE UNITED STATUSI.

The controversy as to tolls upon the Wel-lanl Canal, which was presented to Con­gress at the last session by special message, having failed of adjustment, ' I felt con­strained to exercise ijue authority conferred by the act of July 20, 1893, and to proclaim a suspension of tha|free use of St> Marys Falls Canal to cargoAs in transit to ports m Canada, The Secretary of th& Treasury established such tolls as Were thought to be equivalent to the exactions Ufljustly levied upon our commerce in the Canadian canals.

There is no disposition on the part ot the people or Government of the United States to interfere in the smallest degree with the political relations of panada. Thai question is, wholly with her own paople. It a. time for us, however, to consider whether,- i f the present state of things and trend , of things is to continue, our interchanges upon lines of land transportation should not be pot up­on a different basis; 'anl our entire inde­pendence of Canadiaacanala and of the St. Lawrence as au outlet to the sea secured by the construction ofi an American canal around the Falls of Niagai a and the open­ing of ship communication betwaah the Great Lakes and one of our[ own seaports.

We should not hesitate to availoursalve* of our great natural trade advantages. We should withdraw thelsupport which isjgiven to the railroads and steamship lines of Can­ada by a traffic that'{properly balongsto ua, and no longer furniih the earnings 'which lighten the otherwisacrushing weight .of the enormous public subsidies that have been given to them. Thei subject of th.e powerof the Treasury to deal with this matter with­out further legislation has been under con­sideration, but circumstances have post­poned a conclusion. | i t is probable that a consideration of the propriety of a modifica­tion or abrogation of the article- of the Treaty of Washington relating to transit of goods in bond is myjolvei in any complete solution of the question.

THE CHILEAN TBOOBM.

Congress at the list session was bept ad­vised of the progre3spf the serious and tor a time threatening differences between the United States and Chile, It gives me now great satisfaction to report that the Chilean Government, in a incfst friendly and honor­able spirit, has tenderel ani paid as an in­demnity to the families of toe sailors of the Baltimore who were hilled and to those who were injured in the outbreak in the city of Valparaiso the sum df $75,-030. This bis been accepted, not only as an indemnity for a wrong done, but as la most gratifying evi­dence that the Goveijnmaat of Chile.rightly appreciates the disposition ot this' Govern-, inent to act in a spirit of the moss absolute fairness and frieniuhssj in our intereousa with that brave people. A further and con­clusive evidence of the mutual respect and confidence now existing is furnished by the fact that a con ventiojn submitting to arbitra­tion the mutual claims of the citizens of the respective Governments has been agreed upon.

THE ITAIjIAN AFFAIR. '

The friendly act of this Government in expressing to the Government of Italy its reprobation and abhorrence ot the lynching of Italian subjects la New (Meant, by the payment of 12 >,000 francs, or $.4,3)0.93, was accepted by the Kiog ot Italy with every manifestation of gracious appreciation, and the incident has been highly promotive of mutual respect and good will.

HOPEFUL FOB SILVER.

The Congress has been already advised that the invitations of this Government for the assembling of an International Monetary Conference to consider the question ot an enlarged use of silver were accepted by the nations to which thdv were addressed. The conference assembled at Brussels on the 231 of November and has entered upon the consideration of this great question. I have not doubted, and have not taken occasion to express that belief, as welt .in the invitations issued for this conference as in my public messages, that the free coinage ef silver upon an ^ agreed international ratio would greatly promote the interest of our people and equally those' o! other nations. It is too early to predict what results may be accomplished ny the conference. If any temporary check ox delay intervenes, I believe that very soon commercial conditions will compel the now reluctant Governments to nnite.jWith us in this movement to secure the enlargement ot of the volume of coined money needed lot the transaction of the business of the world.

THE TREASURY.

The report of the Secretary of the Treas­ury will attract especial Interest in view of the many misleading st itatnsnts that have been made as to the state of the public rev­enues. Three preliminary facts should not only be state!, bull emphasized, before look­ing into details: First, thifc the public debt has been reduced since March 4, 1889, $259,074,333, and the annual interest charge Sl' 6'5t,469; second, that thsra have Dseu paid out for pen­sions during tais administration up to November i, 1891, $432,564,178.79, an excess of $114,466,3^6.09 over the sum expended during the pwioi fron Marca 1, 18SJ&' to March 1,1889, and third, that under tha ex­isting tariff up to Deseoaberl about $93,-000,000 of revenue, which would have beau collected noon imports 1 sugars if the duty had been maintained, has gone into-the pockets of the people and not into the pub­lic treasury, as before.

It there are any who still think that Hie surplus should have been kept out of circu­lation by hoarding itia the Treasury, or deposited in favored banks witaoot interest while the Government continued to pay to these very ban'<cs interest upon the bonds deposited as security' for the deposits,'or who think that the extended pension legis­lation was- a public robbery, of that" the duties noon sugar should have been nwbi* tained, I am content to leave «»argument where it now rest, while we l wait to" see whether these criticisms will take the form of legislation.

The revenues for the fiscal year ending June 30,1893, from all source J were«25,-868,260.2?, and the expenditures for all par-poses were $415,953,836.56, leaving a balance of $9,914,45§.60. There werepatt during the year upon the public debt t4^530,-467.98.. The «urpfus in the Treasury and the bank redemption fund, passed by taeact ot July 14,189JJ, to the general fund,, fur­nished in large part the cish available: and used for the payments made upon the pub­lic debt. Compared with the year lSSftour receipts fr«o. customs duties fell off $43,-06J>24LC8, while our receipts frOnTinternal revenue increased $8,234,833.13, leaving the net loss of revenue from these principal sources $33,764,417.95. The net loss of revenue from all sources was $33,675.97 ,81.

The revenues, estimated and aotu*l, for the fiscal year eating June 30, 1893, are placed by the Secretary at $463,333,353.44 and the expenditures at $461,333,350.44, showing a surplus ot receipts over expendi­tures of $2,030,000, The cash balance in tha Treasury at the end of the fiscal year It is estimated will be $20,392,877.03. ,, I

The estimate Irecaiots for the fiscal year ending June. 37, 1891. are $493,123-865.88, and the estimated appropriations $457,061,-335.33, leaving an estimated turnhn of re­ceipts over expenditures of $32,830,033.05. This does not include any payment to the sJabingfund.

Do You Wish the Finest Bread

and Cak6? 7 It isN:onceded that the Royal Baking Towder is"

the purest and strongest of all the baking powders. The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweet­

est,, most delicious food. The strongest baking pow­der m^ces t^e lightest; food..

That baking powder which is both purest and strongest^ makes th4most digestible and wholesome food. \ J " ; ;

Why should not every housekeeper avail herself of the baking powder which wjM give her the best food with the least trouble?.

Avoid a|l baking powders sold with a gift or prize, of at a lower price than the Royal, as they invariably contain alum, lime or sul­phuric add, and render the food unwholesome.

Certain protection/rom alum baking powders can behacLb'y declining to accept any substitute, for the Royal, which is absolutely pure,

Frtfit for Food. i . *,

Fruit culture, should, be. ojuite as Closely associated with family use as with market. I have eaten apples alf my life,' but never learneilhpw to make the best use oi them till last winter; it "is worth living half a century fo find out the real value of the fruit. How we eat apples half art boor before our meals in­stead of afterward. We eat all we want before breakfast and before dinner. The result has bees so decidedly In favor of the fruit, diet that we faave very largely dropped,meat. The action of the 'acid is then admirable in aiding diges­tion, while if eaten after- mealsthe apple is likely to prove a burden. We follow the same line in using grapes, pears, cherries and berries. ., j

If disturbed jby a headache or dys­pepsia in summer, I climb a cherry tree and eat all' I can reach and relish. Ia order to have cherries all summer I cover a dozen trees with mosquito netting to feeep off the birds. Currants and gooseberries I find very wholesome eaten raw from the bushes before going to the dining table. . Natpte has prepared a, large amount of food already cooked, exactly fitted for all demands of the human system. ! Our kitchen cooking never equals nature's. I am by no menus a vegetarian or ja ira^ajrian, but I am convinced that wp have not yet mc as ired the value of fruit as a diet with milk, eggs and vegetables. Some-one being told that such fruit would not give a workman muscular strength, pointed to to his adviser's oxen, saying, **tst these oxen eat no meat.'*—Aiperican Garden­ing. I .- ) • ; , r

We have been challenged,!© pronounce an opinion on the-dietetic virtues of tripe, an article of food wlpeh is largely consumed in certain parts of the country, especially during the .winter months. Tripe consists of the Soft muscular walls and mucous membrane of the stomach of ruminant animals^ with a small propor­tion of'delicate omental fat adhering, from which, however, all fibrous portions of ]the serous covering, or_ peritoneum, have been removed. I?rom frequent ex­periments it has been proved that tripe stands high in the list of albuminous substances that are quickly acted on by the,gastric juice and reduced fo a state ot solution, and has, therefore, acquired -a reputation for digestibility* ; But plain boiled tripe in itself is a very insipid article of food, and in order to make it palatable the art of the cook has to be invoked, which, while making it more "savory," causes it often, -when so served, to be an offense to the stomach. The usual mode of serving tripe in this country is to boil it with milk and onions, and there can belittle doubt that such a combination is not particularly digestible. Tripe is also sometimes fried in batter, but unless very carefully cooked it is apt to become leathery. If only plainly boiled in water it requires a con­siderable amount of condiments in the shape of salt, pepper and mustard to make it acceptable fo the palate There­fore, tripe as usually cooked, though'an excellent dish for strong stomachs, is, owing-to. the ingredients added to it, not always so suitable for persons of weak digestion as has been supposed,—-Loudon Lancet. - i;

A Bog a* Po^tmEster'g Assistant.

A little posfoiSee pear WJJmer's, on the main Hoe of the Pennsylvania Bail-road, enjoys th? unique distinction of beiDg the only office in the country wherein a dog officiates as assistant postmaster. Postman Musstemira's ca­nine assistant is a little. St, Charles-spaniel called Beauty, upon whom has devolved for five years the task of bringing from Witnier"s station, a half-mile distant, the bundle of morning pa­pers from Philadelphia. Two bundles, a large one and a small one, are thrown off at the station. . Regularly every morning Beauty trots over the fields to the station and patiently awaits the ar­rival of the train. When the two bun-dies are thrown ofi Beauty "seizes the smaller one in her mouth and trots directly home. She never makes a mistake, always taking the smaller bun­dle; neither does she loiter along by the roadside, but covers the distance be­tween Witmer's and the cross-roads poatoffice iX a speed that would do credit to Nancy Banks herself. Beauty has been assistant postmaster almost nice her birth, and could hardly be eplaced.—Philadelphia Record. %

« Weather Predictions by Coffee.

A Spanish journal tells of an inter­esting experiment to be tried with a cup of clear coffee and a lump of sugar. The sugar should be dropped into the coffee without stirring; ia a moment the air contained in the sugar will rise to the surface in the shape of bubbles, and these bubbles are excellent weather in­dications.

If they collect in the middle of the cup a fair day follows; if, adversely, they adhere to the sides, forming a ring of bubbles with a clear space in the cen­tre, take your umbrella, for rain is at hand; while, if they do neither Due thing nor the other, but scatter irregu­larly, variable weather is indicated. Just what is the scientific explanation of the action of the atmosphere on the bubbles is not stated, but tbat their in­dications curiously agree with those qf £ barometer has been tested.—New York Times.

"August Flower" "One of my neighbors, Mr. John

Gilbert** lias been sick for a long time. All Ujought him past recovery. He:was horribly emaciated from the inaction of his liver and kidneys. It is difficult to describe his appear­ance and the miserable state of his health at that time. Help from any source seemed impossible. He tried your August Flower and the effect upon him was magical. It restored him to perfect health to the great astonishment of his family and friends." JohnQ^ribell, Holt, Ont,®
