Over 4,000,000 people in this coun
try live upon wages paid by railroad
companies.
Ohio is first in sb&ep and wool,
Becond in petroleum and steel, fourth
in whta coal and liquors, fifth in
cowa, hay and tobucco, and Lst in
political sagacity.
An exbhange wauti to know what
the infant industries aie Equalling
about- Simply because they are
iu the habit of squaring every time
a ftnnger mentions the word tariff.
There are many people who have
made up their mind3 not to giye
Christ - as present this year, not so
much because they don't want to as
b'Cinse they know those they would
give them to cannot afford to give
presents in return. This is an odd
view to take of the mutter, but it is
the one that many take.

a yeritied schedule of preferred debts
