Our esteemed brother Kitt, of the Gcodland Ilmthl, asserts that there is no sekt me to lorn his Be- | nblici.n renders from the -true political faith, involved in his practice of fiHing- his paper with political alliance or People’s party matter. It is all done for the benefit, of his alliance renders Ac., 4&c. But if such be the case, we -wonder bow it happens that lie -does'not work in a few columns occasionally for the benefit of his Republican readers, who, according to his own statement; comprise the great bulk of his subscribers. •Some good sound Protection literature for instance;- or Senator Sherman’s letter on the Seven Conspiracies. His Republican readers are surely as much entit led to have their views well represented iq his paper as the members of any other party. The Herald

also adds, in further conclusive proof that it doesn’t want to help the Democratic party, the statement that some of the most “vicious and contemptible” enemies the editor has are among the leaders of the local Democracy, find therefore it follows as a matter of course that lie can’t possibly want to do their cause any good. All the same, while it may be very true that Bro. Kitt has no desire to help, the local Democratic leaders, we think it safe to assume that in case so very unlikely" an event should occur next year as the election of another Democrat to the presidency, that Bro. Kitt would be glad to find himself in a position to again claim the postmastersbfpof his town, or even some more desirable recognition, on account of the valuable services his paper rendered to the Democratic canse by turning Republican farmers into into People’s Party men.

The Good Old Times.

American Fanner. Tlie Hon. <T R. Dodge, statistician of the United States Department. of Agriculture. while spending his vacation in his native State of New Hampshire, came across an old dgy book at fioscawen, dated 1817, the year after the enactment of the low tariff bill. o % f 1816, from which he extracts the following charges to customers as given in the September statistical bulletin: One-half bushel herdsgrass, 63 cents; one pound coffee, 25 cents; ? pound loaf sugar, 27 cents; i pound tea, 25 ceuts; * ponnd powder, 17 ceuts; \ pound of shot, 17 cents; 15 eggs, 15 cents; 4 dozen plates, 29 cents; 3 pounds cotton yarn, No. 9, £2 25; one nutmeg, 13 ceuts; three hoes, $2; 28 pounds fish, $1.25; 4 yard cotton lining, 8 cents; one yaid flannel, 62 ceuts; twelve pearl buttons, 17 cents; £ yard cambric, 84 ceuts; one skein silk, 8-cents; yards calico, 75 cents; \ yard muslin, 42 cents; 43 ynnla fulled doth, $7.92; one gill New England mm, cents; eight yards black silk, $8; four yards calico, *

$1; five yards cambric, $3.05; \ yard shirking, 34 cents; one gallon AVest India rum, $1.40; one pouud sugar, 20 cents; one felt hat, $1.50; two spelling books, 50 cents; two pounds veal, 6 cents; one ounce indigo, 23 cents; £ pouud Hyson tea, 42 tents; five yards calico, 4— lt-will seem that everything the farmer bad to buy, excepting New England or AVest India rum, was much higher than now, while eggs were 12 ceuts a dozen, and veal "three cents a pound. There was also credit for “one-half day’s work, 50 cents.” He had to work a day for two yards of calico, a day for a yard and a half of shirting, or five pounds of sugar, or qne pound of tea. And a day’s work sun.”

The Mistake of the Peoples’ Party.

All this kicking on National banks is the sheerest kind of nm sense and for political effect only. The Alliance demands that . the government loan them money as two per cent. They also claim j that the government loans money ] to National banks at one per cent | Any five or more men can start a National bank; Alien why should j the Alliance demand money at two I per cent, when according to its ! own argument it can be had at one percent.? There is not a school district in Miami county which cannot raise sufficient capital to start a National bank. Then why don’t the Alliance start National banks and get money at- one percent. Therais no use waiting years to get money at two per cent, when it can, if this argument is true, be had at once at only one per cent.--Macy Monitor.

Sure enough, why don’t it? There are two People’s party men in Jordan tp., and one in Carpenter whose combined wealth, alone, would be sufficient capital for a National bank.

Another very pertinent fact in this connection, that may be added to the above, and one that proves beyond the possibility of denial the falseness of the claim that the government loans money to the National banks at a very low interest, or that those institutions are such exceedingly profitable affairs as greenbackers aud People’s paity adherents have been claiming for the last quarter. century, is that the circulation of the of the national bank has been steadily declining for so many years, until now, instead of being up to the authorized amount of 400 millions of dollars, it is only about 125 millions. That it has thus declined we do not think that even People’s Party people will dispute, for the matter was touched upon at considerable length by Senator Peffer, iu his speech at Rensselaer last August, aud he not not only stated the fact of the great decrease in givekim the credit of not taking *the usual erronious fiat money view of the National bant system, for instend of abusing them and demanding their destruction he wanted to see their number and circulation increased to the full limit of the law.

Tariff Pictures.

New York Press: In England the average sum due each depositor in the Savings Bank Department is $68.17 The average sum due depositors in savings banks in the United States was in 1890 $358. o 4 The former ref resents the savings possible under free trade; the second, what can be saved under protection. Which will you take, workingmen?

What a Magazine Costs.

A very good idea of the amount of money it costs to successfully conduct one of the magazines of today is aptly illustrated in some figures regarding the editorial cost of The Ladies’ Home Journal of this city, says the Philadelphia Public Ledger. The Journal is edited by Mr. Edward Bok. For shaping the thoughts of his 750,000 women readers each month Mr. Bok is paid SIO,OOO per year, and has an interest in the business besides which nets him fully twice his salary. He has a staff of sixteen salaried editors, which includes men and women like Rev. Dr. Talmage, Robert J. Burdette, Palmer Cox, Margaret Bottome, Isabel Mai* lon and Maria Parloa. The combined salaries of these editors exceed $20,000 a year. The Journal spends each month $2,000, or about $26,000 per year on miscellaneous matter not contributed by its regular editors, and the working force in the editorial department means at least $6,000 more in salaries, making over $60,000 a year, and this represents but a single department of the magazine; and I question whether any periodical is conducted on a more business- * : .-w —■*' - , • like and economical basis than is the Journal. No wonder that J. B. Lippincott, when asked by a friend why he did not keep a yacht, replied: “A man can only sustain one luxury—l publish a magazine!”
