ilT. Giutxa, Aug. 18. Heavy rains last
aijlu and this morning seriously interfered
-.mh tlse succti of the Farmers' Encamp
ment to-day. Large crowds had intended
coining from different directions to see and
licar Governor Tattison, but the elements
prevented thousands of people from making
their appearance. The Governor arrived
bis afternoon, and soon after was address
iug a considerable number of attentive
listeners.
After referring approvingly to the in
terests -hieh had been shown in agricul
ture by the exhibits on the ground, Gov
ernor rattbon spoke of the business par.ily-6!-turou;h
-allien the country ha3 pass-cd.
Minv tusoric- had been advanced for it,
but 5n liis opinion tlie main caue was tho
depression to which the pursuit of agricul
ture had been subjected. He tlien procced
fnitfi -.linn tiipbrirrbt ontlook for business
In tins countrj in view of the unprecedent
ed crop-- pioduced during the year. Tho
business and financial problems which bad.
been oncro;.sine; tho minds of the American
people found a solution in tho abundant
crop and the good prices promised the far
mer of tins- countrj-.
"There is danger, however," said tho Gov
ernor, "if the speculative prices. Just be
ginning, should continue, that we may lose
tbie promised market. An attempt to cor
ner tho grain market might result in de
stroying the advantages we now posses, by
the bread caters of tho old country doing
without broad rather than pay the epecula
tive price demanded. This problem, there
fore, requires carnet bnsincss considera
tion in. the disposal of tlie harvests of the
nation.
"Pennsylvania ha contributed to the
wheat crop of the United States a large
share. It is estimated at 22,000.000 buhels,
or t,09 GOO greater than the average yield for
tut past tenyear, or 2,000,000 in excess of
the crop of any previous year. This would
real iz- to the producers, at$la bushel, $22,
fl0.Xh but allowing M cents "a bushel for
tedin and lmrvetmir, the amount would
tt reach ll,00u000. Pennsylvania, while
pvnenillv distinguished as a manufacturing
State by the-e liguros demonstrates her
capacitjto contribute to the entire wheat
crop, neaily one-twentieth part."
(Jorcrnor Pjttison then entertainingly de
scribed the wealth of a country that could
Ik- teen from (jovernor Dick, an observatory

Vt. oret: a From this elevated point the
ck-od a clear day is carried into the coun

population of about 600,000, or nearly as
main in habitants as Connecticut, nnd more

nor in a speech of over an hour on the sub
ject of capital and labor. Governor Fatti

I'Odv and queer contractions of the features.
Mnlc in this trance they talk in a tongue
rnknown to their visitors, and, they claim,
iindrr ordinary circumstances, to them-.-olxts.
The strange women will accept but

THE DUTIABLE VALUE OF CIGASS.
It Must Include Cuba's Internal Revenue
Tax, Says a Chicago Judge.
Chicago, Aug. IS Judge Blodgctt to-day
made an interesting decision in the suits
brought by a score of Chicago cigar import
ers to recover alleged excessive duties. In
Cuba there is an internal revenue tax of 50
cents a thousand on cigars, and this the
United States Appraisers included in the
dutiable value.
The importers claimed the stamp tax was
not assessable, but Judge Blodgctt holds the
contrary, on the ground that the 50-cent
Cuban tax enters into the cost of produc
tion. Children Enjoy
The pleasant flavor, gentle action and
soothing effects of Syrup of Figs, when in
need ot a laxative and if the father or
mother be costive or bilious the most grati
fying results follow its use, so that it is the
best family remedy known and every family
should have a bottle.
