V_ The Argentine Republic will have an j International Exposition of Agriculture next year, and has charged the distinguished engineers?Ganiiza, Otamendi and Pcreyra?with preparing the building plans. The Argentine Republic docs cot admit that in agriculture it plays | second fiddle to anybody. One of tlie most interesting localities j to visit in London during the recent dock | strike "was the "Booth Arms." a hostlery ^ conducted by members of the Salvation Army. The food "was plain, bur plentiful and good, and sold at an almost nominal rate. One hundred thousand dockers vrere estimated to have been fed there ; ?~ -during the strike. Soup, bread, sand- j * Tviches, conee, tea and cocoa were the ! principal items on the menu. It is now confidently stared by advanced ! chinkers, as a result of the rccent estvaordinary progress in biological discovery, j that almost all diseases, excepting, of | :our?e, that resulting from injuries and j _ ."adsmitted weaknesses of organs, is pre- j rentable, since it'is the result of the j attacks of lov, er forms of life upon ui. i i When vre know exactly what form of low j iife constitutes the germ of the disease, j r:e can in time find out how to attack it : in our turn and destroy it.

A Demand to Have the Next United Suits Census Show the Mortgage Indebtedness on the Farms and Homes of the Country. There :!s a growing feeling that the farmers aud other wealth producers do not receive an equitable return for their toil. The statements are repeatedly made that ''the rich are growing richcr, and the poor poorer;'' that ninety-five per cent, of the wealth of the country is 1 fivo nor Mrt of tVlC i UVtUCU UV 1CM luau li.v, V.V.".. .,. population; that three fifths of .nil the I wealth is in the hands of less than thirty j thousand peisons; and that the sturdy, j self-respecting fanner is becoming the ' American peasant. Lack of facts upon { which to lase conclusions has rendered j even theorising valueless, and ignorance ' of the truth makes the prevalent discon-! tent only more dangerous. The first re quisle to an intelligent discussion of the, subject i"- a knowledge of the actual i facts in the <-a;?e. Up t.?thi.?. time noce ; of any importance have been collected. ! Mm h statistical information has been | gathered and published to show the proI duel ion C?f weilth in this country, but uone to show its distribution. Au iin- j ! portant step in this direction, in fact the j primary step, would be the collection of: data to sl ow to what, extent I he farms and the hemes?the basis of our civilization?are owned by their occupants and ! free from debt. Correspondence has \ been liad with the Chiefs of the Bureaus j ef Statistics of the various states, asking ; them whether they had collected any ! such information. With singular unani-: mity they reply that the facts an- of! great importance and ought. to bendlect-! ed, but that the labor and expense of such an investigation are too great t<? be i undertaken by a State Bureau, and thai, j the work naturally devolves on the j National Census. Mr. Robert Porter,! Superintendent of the Eleventh Census, j replying to correspondence on this subject, j says that the act authorizing the census t did not contemplate the collection of j these data: that before he can undertake 1 -? ^ tne worK i aere musi ue spcL-mi ir^iai i-; lion by Congress instructing him to do i so, anil that he will lay the matter he-1 fore the Secretary of Iuti ior with a view ' to securing such legislation. There is no ; doubt that if a general public demand existed, the legislation could be secured. \ The countrj canni t afford to wait till au- i other census for the fact?, as at least i fifteen years would be required to make ' them public, and in these days of the j rapid concentration of wealth into a j few hands that time is too long for a first | diagnosis of the case. By that date the ! patient may be fatally ill. With a view to creating such a demand, the "Western Economic Assoem-1 tion, of St. Louis, h-i3 issued this ad- i dress to the farmers and other wealth-j producers of the country. The practi-; Vill UlCliiL'U ^'4 iJ *Vi ?*1J WVMJ of such individuals, either organized or j unorganized, to adopt re^gtrons o! fluTj following character and to "send them j to Washington: "Whereas, There is a gi owing belief! that the farmers and other producers of! the country do not obtain an equitable i share of the wealth which they create, ! and that the farms and the homes of; the country arc largely under mort-j g.ige; and,' ^ Wuf.kfas, Exact knowledge on this; subject is of great importance in the j study of the social and economicJ questions oi the day; therefore, be it by j ( insert here the name of the body j adopting the resolutions, and the lo- j ca'.ity i; Resolved, That it is our judgment 1 that the next. United States Census i should show what percentage of the J people in this country occupy their ! own iarms ana nomcs, anu wnat pro-1 portion nre tenants; and of those who j occupy their own farms and homes;! what proportion have their property j free from debt: and of the farm.-, and homes which are under mortgage, what percentage of the value h so mortgaged: and l?r- it further IJf.soi.ved, That the secretary of this meeting he requested to transmit a copy of these resolutions to Hon. John W. Noble. Secretary of tlie Interior, Washington, 1). C., and a copy to the Congressman from this district with a request that he u-e his influence to i have these facts collected and pub-! lished. iThis matter is neither republican nor ! democratic. It i? purely economic. The i appeal is made to you personally, the j reader. The next time you are in a, meeting of the Wheel, the Alliance, the Farmers' and Laborers' Union, ordinary mass-meeting, or what-not, introduce resolutions expressing these sentiments, and send ihoni to the officials named. As the re assembling of Congress is at hand, and hs considerable time will.be required t<? procure the necessary legislation and to prepare the schedules before the next enumeration, prompt action is necessary. * I). 0.
