A Great Liar, but a Great Man. In a stove store yesterday a marf tame rushing in and said to the proprietor: “Have you got into lying for a trade?” “v )h. no.” “Well, you lied about that stove.” “Man on his way up there now to put it up Rushed to death, vou know. Hope .you ihaven’t suf fered.” The ne-it caller was a woman, who fastened -a void glare on the stove Ka*m and deliberately said ; “IT! never do a cent’s worth of business with you again if I live here fifty years.” “Stovepipe is on the wagon there and ready to go up, ma’am. Woke up in the night to hope you •wouldn’t be put out.” The third caller was a boy, who stooci in the door and called. •“Hey, you! my father says he’d like to knock your head oil'.” ■“Oh, yes, you are Mr. Blank’s son. Just sent a man up to your house with that damper ten mm artes ago. Lost ttio sale «f a stove to hurry him off.” “Are those fair samples of vour collers?” was asked the dealer. “Just about. I catch it about twenty times a day at this season of the year.” “And vos rawer'talk back?” “Never. I bustle and do t’iao best I can, and if a kicker coaums' in I hold my peace or talk taffy., One word back talk would ieose their trade. Everybody waits tell the last minute for a stove or re pairs, and then everybody cowres with a rush, There comes ta woman to blow me up about fixing a door to a stove. That door has been broken for five years, but it’s only within the past week that she has decided to have it fixed. She’ll be savage, but I’ll mollify' her some way and get that stove down bv Monday. So long—my busy day ” There is still a surplus of $46,- 000.000 in the United States Treasury, exclusive of nearly $25,- (>OO,OOO in subsidiary silver coin age which is not availablo for debt paymenrs.

In order to prove that the prices the farmers obtain for corn, wheat, cotton, etc., are not governed by the price at which they can sell the surplus of those commodities above the demand of the home market the American Economist instances the fact that the femurs of Massachusetts sold their corn at 70 cents a bushel, while the Ne braska farmers could only get 19 cents per bushel. The Economist would have the farmers believe, that the Massachusetts corn sold for 70 cents because it w-as dis posed of in the home market, while the Nebraska corn brought on!} r 1$ cents because it was sold for the foreign market. It is hard to deal patiently with such drivel as this. The price paid in Massa chusetts for corn was the price of Nebraska com laid down in Massa chusetts, with cartage, handling, storage, freight and commissions added. Otherwise why should not Massachusetts (consumers buv the chean Neomska corn? And wlp do the Massachusetts farmers de sert their farms and their “home market” and go West to raise 19-cent corn in Nebraska? The Economist is protection-mad, an< its writers should take a vacatior for the fjtooverv of their wits. Rat-catiching is still going on at the White House; but some of the grayest and sharpest rats refrain from being ferreted out. Hr. J. A, Bfoan4ion, ot Vvnvndt i gua, N.
