AN EXPERT ON FARM CONDITIONS.
He Says Farm Investment Paid Better 4$
Years Ago Than To-Day.
The Industrial Commission gave a
hearing recently in Washington on
farm conditions, the principal witness
being Assistant Secretary Bingham of
the Agricultural Department. Mr.
Brigham said that he had been con¬
nected with the Grange movement
nearly twenty years’, and as master of
the National Grange for nine years
had traveled, over the country consid¬
erably. The number of men employed
on farms was about the same, he said,
as fifty years ago. The tendency, how¬
ever, was toward shorter hours and
lighter work, and in general the condi¬
tion and wages of the farm hands had
improved. This was largely due to the
use of machinery and improved meth
ods, and not organization of labor. The
system of crop sharing, he said, was
and would, he thought,
largely supplant that of hiring men for
wagSS»
Mr. Ih’igham favored the teaching of
the ele ln( -mtary principles of agricult¬
ure in the public schools, as arousing
the interest of the boys in that branch
would tend to keep them on the farm
and away from the cities. The money
invested iff farms, farm implements
and stock ln the United States repre¬
sented, he said, about $1,500,000,000.
Farm investments paid higher rates of
interest''f°rty years ago than to-day.
Some rc'hsohs for the decrease were
the y[i]M,'eeiation for labor. of land The values net profits and

whole
exceed fho;e than two or three per cent.
Farmer!?’ ' ie said, paid too great a pro
port-. ou ,of the taxes, one reason being
that ’jjieir property could not be con¬
cealed from the asssessors as can some
other classes of property.
Sphinx and Man.
Now, for the first time, u photograph
of the Sphinx with one man standing
on top of it and another half way up
the front, has been taken, showing At
a glance the tremendousness of this
monument which is more than sis
thousand years old.' Figures give so
poor an idea of size that they hardly
convey anything to the mind. Close
your eyes aud try to imagine a figure
sixty-five feet high, and its body a
hundred and eighty-nine feet long;
each ear is two yards wide, the nose
is five feet long, the mouth is seven
feet wide, large enough to swallow a
six-footer if it were opened, and the
distance across the face from one
.cheek to another is fourteen feet.
If a five-story fiat house were built
by the side of the Sphinx the top of the
house would be below the crown of its
head. Yet this wonderful statue was
cut out of the living rock as long ago
as 4,000 years B. C. -There must have
been some great artists in that day
to think of so big a work, which has
never been since equaled.
The meaning of the Sphinx is one ot
the hardest problems of scholars. Some
say it is the statue of some old Egyp¬
tian god, others that it is a symbol oil
the rising sun, but the most probable
explanation is that the Sphinx is the
statue of some one of the Pharaohs of
old Egypt. Its head is that of a man,
and the body of the lion was only a
symbol of the power of the mighty
king who had it hewn. There are any
number of Sphinxes in Egypt, but this
one is the largest and finest of them

LABOR AND INDUSTRY
SOME ITEMS OF INTEREST TO
UNION WORKMEN.
Governor Tanner's Course Has Borne
Good Fruit—Vlrden Coal Company
Arbitrates—Lack of Even One Senator
“Interested” Defeats Eight-Hour Bill.
The Illinois Alining Troubles.
Late mining news from Illinois
shows that Governor Tanner did
something substantial for labor when
he chose to protect the people instead
of a corporation, at a time when he
had to do one or the other, and could
not do both. The Vlrden Coal Com¬
pany, prior to and during the riot of
last year, contemptuously refused to
arbitrate, but I notice that it has ex¬
perienced a change of heart, and now
stands ready to do, voluntarily, that
which it said armies could not drive
it to do. The convention of coal oper¬
ators and miners of Illinois recently
adopted the agreement and scale rec¬
ommended by the Joint Scale Com¬
mittee, ratifying the Pittsburg agree¬
ment, and carrying with it the modi¬
fied Columbus and Springfield agree¬
ments. The operators in the Pana
and Vlrden districts object to the price
fixed—40 cents—claiming that condi¬
tions peculiar to their mines make it
unfair to them. They propose to rec¬
tify the inequality. And mark how
they are going to do it. Miners’ of¬
ficials state that “the operators and
miners in that district will call upon
the State Board of Arbitration to fix
the mining price.” Exactly what the
miners wanted to do last year; exactly
what Governor 'Banner wanted the
coal company to consent to do; exact¬
ly what the arrogant managers of that
corporation declared they would never
do, no matter what might be the cost
of their refusal, ln money, blood, aud
life. We all know that the cost was
great. Much property was destroyed;
men were wounded and killed, some
most brutally. But today, I rejoice to
see, the coal company offers to do what
it hitherto refused to do, and I have
no doubt that a just price for mining
in that district will be fixed.
It’s a good thing to occasionally
get a governor who realizes that men
and women, natural persofls created
by God, have greater rights than cor¬
porations, which are artificial per¬
sons created by law. I think if we
had more men in high places who
would not lose sight of the fact, and
would act accordingly, it would not be
so difficult to curb the greed that just
now manifests Itself in efforts to syn¬
dicate all industries, and make of the
earth one great trust property, which
no man may walk upon except by
permission of the boss of the combine.
What Congrew Dili, and Omitted to Do.
Tne last Congress passed some
measures proposed for the advantage
of labor, but. failed in the matter of
most importance—the eight-hour bill
—which was killed in the Senate after
it had passed the House by a unani¬
mous vote. Among the measures that
became law I note the bill for the im¬
provement of the condition of the sea¬
men, which protects them in the exer¬
cise of the right to quit work In any
American port, or in any near-by for¬
eign country, etc.; the railroad arbi¬
tration bill; the bill creating the fed¬
eral commission to investigate indus¬
trial affairs; a bill to restore wages of
government printing office employes to
$4 per day. The anti-convict labor
bill, the injunction bill, and the eight
hour bill failed to pass. Discussing
the work of Congress, Mr. Samuel
Gompers says:
“The utility of the Federal Labor
Commission is problematical. The
make-up of the commission renders it
extremely doubtful that tangible re¬
sults will follow. The action of its
chairman, Senator Kyle, as chairman
of the Senate committee on education
and labor, who introduced the eight
hour bill, had it referred to the com¬
mittee of which he was chairman,
dragging the bill along in committee
until the time when it would scarcely
be considered by the Senate, and fin¬
ally his submitting a minority report
against his own bill, makes his posi¬
tion as chairman of the industrial
commission a question as to whether
he is in favor of the commission’s rec¬
ommending legislation to which, In
the way already indicated, he has de¬
clared himself opposed. In regard to
the eight-hour measure I should say
that it was a genuine eight-hour bill,
one of far-reaching consequences, and
which would have required contractors
and sub-contractors doing government
work or furnishing material, not
bought in the opep market, to enforce
the eight-hour workday. We cannot
hide our disappointment that Con¬
gress should have failed to pass this
bill. It had passed, the House of Rep¬
resentatives unanimously, and, if there
had been but one senator intensely in¬
terested'4n its passage, there can be
no doubt that it would now be upon
the statute books of our country.
Looking back over the entire spssion
while this bill was before Congress,
there is nothjng honorable that we can
recall that organized labor ought to
have done which was left undone. It
is true that we are disappointed at the
failure of this bill to become a law,
but we are none the less sure that the
advances secured is cause for encour-
agement—the advance made In agita¬
tion upon this subject, the converts
made to the measure, and the record
already established that this genuine
eight-hour bill, this bona fide labor
measure, will yet be enacted into law
at no distant date. Those who are
responsible for the defeat of the bill
will be held to a strict accountability
for their hostility. Those who have
treacherously doomed it to its fate In
the last Congress will be made to bear
the ignominy of their action. We have
gained several substantial measures,
but not that which was our just due
nor pur just rights, However, the
past is gone except for the lessons it
teaches, wo shall turn our backs to it
and, looking squarely into the future,
rr ganlzed labor is ready and yearning
for the fray to secure justice to labor
upon every field of action; and upon
the banner of the hosts of labor will
stand conspicuously emblazoned the
demand for the eight-hour workday.”
Where the Difference Elea.
In a recent issue of the Chicago
Times-Herald is an interesting and
very valuable article on the vakte of
by-products to Chicago manufactur¬
ers, in which it is shown that the by¬
products are today frequently of
greater value than the main product.
For instance, a representative of
Swift & Co., the well-known packers,
is quoted by the Times-Herald as say¬
ing:
“The by-products of a steer are
worth more to us than the beef which
we get from the animal. We could
afford to accept the by-product with¬
out the meat and still be able to com¬
mand a handsome profit.”
To the farmer who doesn’t begin to
get as much for his live stock as he
did in the “good old days” when the
butcher bought his own stock and sold
it out over the counter, saving almost
nothing but the hide, and to the city
consumer who pays from 22 to 35
cents a pound for steaks he used to
get for from 12 to 18 cents, this is very
cheering information, The writer
goes on to explain the modus oper¬
ands
“The proof of this statement is in¬
teresting. A good steer, it is estimated,
will cost a farmer $20 to raise before
he sells it. For the sake of illustra¬
tion, it may be said that the packer
pays him $35 for the animal, which
makes his profit $15, and the invest¬
ment of the packer $35. An estimate
places the subsequent disposal of the
steer by the packer as follows: From
the meat and compounds of meat, $40;
from the hide, hair, horns and hoofs,
$25; from the fats, blood, sinews and
bones, $15; from all other waste, $15,
or $45, received from the by-products
and $40 from the meat, a total of $85
on an investment of $35, or a gross
profit of $50, from which is to be de¬
ducted all the charges for freights,
agents, plant, offices, etc., leaving the
packer’s net profit somewhere in the
neighborhood, it' is said, of $10.”
Here we have it stated that the far¬
mer’s profit is $ 15 . and the packer’s
$10, which would appear at first sight
to put the farmer away ahead of his
city brother, and the reader naturally
wonders why the farmer doesn’t drive
out in coach-and-four and live in a
palace as does his less fortunate asso¬
ciate in this great commercial schema.
The farmer gets his $15 after thirty
months of work and attention to the
growing steer, which, according to this
statement, costs $20, but which re¬
quires an infinite outlay of time and
care, not to be computed in dollars
and cents. Allowing that he has suc¬
cessfully raised 100 head of first-class
young steers, he has at this rate made
a profit of $1,600. The packer, who
admits that he makes $10 a head on
the cattle, handles something like half
a million head during the year, turn¬
ing the individual steer into money in
about as many hours as the farmer
has been months in doing, and receiv¬
ing $5,000,000 profits for his year’s
work, say nothing of the hogs and
sheep that have been handled at the
same time, and whose by-products are
probably as valuable proportionately
as are those of the steer.
These figures afford a glimpse into
the methods which obtain in the busi¬
ness world under which one man
amasses a Croesus-like fortune in a
single year, while another toils and
struggles from year’s end to year’s end,
with possible failure or loss at the
end. Just so far as this is matter of
individual effort and intelligence, it is
natural and just, but when we con¬
sider this condition in connection with
the social obligations of the individual
—his compulsory contributions to so¬
ciety in the form of taxes—we see
how grave the injustice may be; for it
is in the methods of taxation which ob¬
tain today that the commercial and
industrial systems, which render these
grotesque disparities possible, find
their chief source and sustenance. For
instance: Presuming that the pack¬
ing company makes a profit from hogs,
sheep and cattle of $10,000,000 per an¬
num, how much would its taxes be as
compared with the taxes paid by as
many farmers as would be required to
show profits of $10,000,000? This is
the question which should interest
every farmer and business man, and
it is a question which they have a
; right to demand shall be answered.

THE COMRADESHIP OF PERIL.
Wonderful Incident at a Forest Conflagra¬
tion in California.
Ail incident of the forest fires in the
hills of the Descapso neighborhood in
California illustrates the com¬
radeship that common peril brings
about among beasts as well ns among
men. After the flames had completed
their work of destruction and spread
a pall over the hills, a rancher went
forth among the charred stumps and
smoking brush heaps to look for a num¬
ber Qf cattle and colts which he feared
had been hemmed in by the fire. He
went across gully and ridge in his
search, until at last he saw his stock
some little distance ahead. He was
more than astonished upon coming up
to the group to find not only his cattle
and colts, but a deer, three wildcats, a
coyote, and several rabbits, all alive
and apparently in no fear of him. They
watched him approach with indiffei
ence, the timidity gone from the Dig¬
eyed deer, no venom in the wildcat's
purr, and honesty shining iu the grey
coyote’s face. The rabbits sat on their
haunches us meek as the pets of chil¬
dren. But the poor coyote was in pain,
and as the farmer came close the erst¬
while robber of the roost dragged his
helpless hind quarters toward the man
in mute supplication. The legs of the
animal had been frightfully burned.
The rancher was in no mood to make
friends of sucli strange creatures, and
at once drove his stock through the
smouldering brush, the deer going
along with the cattle, the rabbits hop¬
ping along at the rancher’s heels, the
wildcats slouching along behind, and
the coyote, nimble to follow, whining
a pathetic appeal for succor. When
the burning field was passed the deer
broke into a rhn for the distant hills,
the rabbits were away like a flash, and
the old defiance and snarling leer came
back to the wildcats, who scorned to
make a show of haste. They walked
slowly out of sight.
The Tea downs.
A pretty novelty for tea gowns cut
in the princess shape is to pipe every
seam from neck to hem with a differ¬
ent color from the material. The
model seen was a pale yellow brocade,
the pipings of the seams being a deli
cate heliotrope silk. The effect near
the face was softened by a fichu of
lace, but the figure was perfectly out¬
lined by the long well-sliaped seams.
Passementerie was laid all down the
seams in another case, a very narrow
one of iridescent beads, on a black
moire gown; and in this case a very
large white tulle bow at the throat re¬
lieved the severity of the outline, the
long ends falling nearly to the ground,
finished off at the bottom with a deep
ruffle of lace. The tea gown requires,
to justify its existence, that it should
have a loose easy appearance, so that
anything which approaches in style to
the tightness of an ordinary walking
dress is not in good taste. At the same
time, women who insist upon wearing
everything tight, so ns to define the
figure, may supply the degage look of
the looseness which they refuse to en¬
joy by abundance of lace and muslin
in the front, or in fichu style over the
shoulders, falling well from the throat
to the waist or the hem.
Much fancifulness is permissible in
tea gowns. They may be madb with
reminiscences of the mediaeval fash¬
ion, as with sleeves puffed at the shoul¬
ders and the elbow, and buttoned
tightly up front the wrist; or with
pire folded belts coining up to
tl'te arms, or with Greek drapings
graceful folds caught up to the
der. Any elegant, careless, easy
ing Idea may be adopted, according
the character of the material chosen.
Velveteen does very well for a tea
gown for a middle-aged woman, but
as this is a garment that is intended
be always worn in the warm protec¬
tion of the (frawing room, it is desira¬
ble to have it fairly light looking and
not too heavy, so that the
should be relieved with a front of fine
brocade or silk, and chiffon and lace
should trim the composition.
