mcastire. from a lingle Bd of tho Russi.m (iov
ernment. namcly, tho prohibiiion of expoits of
rye. lt is commonly inferred that an enormous
inereaas in tho demand for American ******
inVt follow, because the people in Europe who
have DBoallj oonaumed Bbout 50,000,000 buah
ols of ive from RoBBla will be compoHed to buy
their grain eletwheie. lt is the custwn oi
?pecnlBtOZfl to BflBUII* that the requirement* of
liermany, of Franee, or of any other country
in Europe, are stnctlv proportional to popula
ti'.n, and that UM flianttty of grain requlrod
wil bc ihe aame whether prices are uraaaally
bigh or unusually low.
1. u poMlbie thal the infereneea so commoniy
d.awn from ihe action of the Kussian Govein
ment may b? found in part crroneous. There
is no reason to douht that the European demand
tor American wheal will be tbis year far 1b
OiceBB of the ordinaiy demaod. There ia BO
reaaon to doubt U.at Europe will be compeUed
,? ,,:.v large snms for brradst.iffs pnrchaaed

poasible tba' there bbbj be exaggeration in tho
eetimatea of the qoanUty required, and eorn?
qoeatiy in the eetimatea regardiag tho probable

Jt must Kml bo rememberod that the Europ ian
,rop has not yet beea hanreated in all of the
countriee, ao ''a- tbe aetnal reaall or the yeart

The demand f<>r graln from thia .-ountry am*

vft-t haa not been eompleted. Hut another and
much more important poaaibilitj of error re
Balta from the aaaumption That the qmntity re
qniied in any country is the same wl
prices are higb or low. .
lt is not long sinco sroetilation at Chl?

bakera oomplaiBed that a large porl of their
trade aaddealy fell oir, and this in the larged
city of tbe New World, wheie wagea nie higher
than in any country in Europe and where the
condit;on of tbe laboring people is |ltogethor
more pr.*j?erous. riujuo-tionably a -iniilii'
advance in the priee of grain or of breai in aay
European oonatry will matedaly affect the
qna-nity of wheat eonsiimed. To what exlem
the eousnmption miy l>o dirair.i-hed without
general Btarvatioa or anfferiag cannot be de
termined, but it is plain enough that a material
deereaso is poasible, and in event of higb prices
is probable. Already the prices of graiu in
im -si European marfets have advanced 80 iai
Ihat the consuinption is likely to be oonaider
alily dlminiflbed. Hut it must not be forgotton
that a moderate dacreaaa in the quamiiy ol
wheat and r;c oOBfeumed would mean an im?
portant change in the q.mntity required from
this country. It it* OOBBBOBly assumed that tbe
ensumption of wheat in many European ooun
ti n- is fully double the consuniption in the
United states in proportion t<i the population.
Obvious'y, this is becauflfl tlie jK-iple of this
country aio a'.le to eat more moat, and are ia
tho babil of oonsnmiBg more of other klnda of
food, but if bread should became nauaually deai
in Europe, life would be Biutained opoo a much
smallcr COBBUmptkm jw-r oapita than has usuully
been allowed iu stati-tical eetimatea.
Jt is not wise for thoso whu oontrol the openi
tions of the Farmera' Alliance, dr tor the sjk-c
tilators ia American Hoarda of Trade. to reck m
too lar^ely ujkhi an nnehaaged oonsuniption of
grain by (Be jx-oitle of Enrope. Before thia
crop yenr olooefl *** may diflOOfW that Enrope

tion, and yet without DfliBg as much grain
witiiin a knadred miliitm buahehi as ha- nsoally
beea roniumed in ^eara of ordlnary priciw.
Should the prioea in this country be artili.irllly
advanced, whether by action of apeculaton or
by the d.-vices of tho Farmers' Alliance. i; ia
poaaible tbat the decreaae in ooBflumptioo abroad

Another important deciaion regards the falsifi
ratlon of postal stamps. Hitherto the forgery
or imitntion of foreign postage stamps has been
tolerated, tbe respeetive Government* oonfend
ing that they could not interfere in the absenco
of treaty engagoments to do th. All the Statea
of tlie I'ostal I'nion have, however, now mutual
IV engaged to put down in their respectivo

depaadaaoa whieh Amerieans OBtk-O, and whlch
l.ads them to look upon the new tariff with

Tho Hririah theory is that products must be
jnuchasi-tl from other countries or they will not
bo able to purchase our products. This theory
would havo more truth in it if the people of
one country nover owned titles to or mortgages
upon pr.perty in another. England ta.xes tho
whole world to pay interest and dividends every
rear, becRnae __ng___b Laaeatora have put vast
.ums inro bonds of various nations and cities,
into mines. m.mifaetiires, mills, ranchex and

cannot send us anything elso for the bread Enf
lish corisiimeis brbI have it can send tw back
stocks of railroadi ud Indoatrial coinpanics and

THE CASE OF' TIIE LEPERS.
The clisjuitcs between ho. pital chiefs and tlie
Board ol Heaith over the custody of Chinamen
suflering from lepro.-y have eulminated in the
reieaae of the patient.s and a consequent menaco
to the heaith of tho cemmunity. Of late caaaa
of thie nature have been so frequent as to im
j.ly neoeaaity for the most rigc___a applioatioa
nf' exiiting Teftrict_<ma. It seems clear that
Chineee tepen can defy ali barriers raised
againat their entrance, and their innludy is ad
,.| m a nile only when it has reached an
adranoed itaga. Being surely incurable, it gen
orally involves their permancnt retention in
tho hoapitall to whieh they may chance to be
carried-an imprisonment to whieh Chinamen
are radieally averse. While a donbt exists u
bo the danger of contagion it ia thorofore doubly
the duty of looal heaith oflicers to diseover
;U,d laoLate aU new eaaeaj and such loose mcth
Odl a> havo permitted the MCapt of Ding and
Toy are not to bo tolerat-rl.

thown by the facl tbat Ding, a noted fan-tan
player, was compclled to give up the game be

MOOdateg do not generally sharo. The public
would lisien more traaquilly to furthar dia*
