A certain farmer in Texas not a hundred miles from Gainesville sat down with hie family to breakfast. They sat in chairs made in Indiana, the table was mads in Saint Louis, the dishes were made in New York, (he knives, forks and spoons were im ported from England; the biscuit were made of flour from Kansas, shortened with lard from Missouri, cooked on a stove made io Chicago, and bis coffee was served with sugar from Louisiana When breakfast w4s over be drove to town in a wagon made in Ohio, while hie son went out with a S4O gun made in Pennsylvania and an imported $lO dog to kill 5 cent birds for dinner. His daughter went riding bn a S7B in Massachu setts. Hie wife swept the floor with a broom from Cincinnati, took up the dust in a pan made in Vermont, with a brush made in Rhode Island. The farmer bought a plow made in Illinois, a cultivator made in Michigan, hoes and rakes made in Indiana, and a reaper made in Chicago. He took these home and set them cut on a vacant lot, exposed to the rain and sunshine, where they were ruined in one year. That farmer is always com plaining of bard times—Gainesville (Tex.)Banner. TT— * Millions Given Away.

An Object Lesson. The decline in the prioe of raw cot- ( ton and the advance in trans-Atlantic ( freight rates afford a most remarkable object lesson. An advance in freights accrues to the benefit, mostly, of British ship owners. The shrinkage in cotton values is a lose to American agricnl- 1 tural and commercial interests. ( The results is to largely deerease the adverse trade balance, due by for- j eign nations, and particularly by the United Kingdom, to the United States. They pay less for our cotton i and we pay more for transporting it to their markets. 1 We are perfectly helpless in this ' matter, because we have next to no merchant marine to carry cotton or other freight. England rules the waves and fixes tbe price for trans porting goods over them. She takes this method of reducing tbe very trade balance that she owes us, while American producers must placidly witness a depreciation in tbe value of their products in order to help pay tbe British bills This is tbe object lesson.—LaGrange Graphic.
