This kind of cattle- growing is not a bad business. It seems that tho demand for really good beeves ls not supplied as theso prices show. EXrOSTS OF LIVE STOCK. While the exports of cattle and hogs havo largely increased, thatof sheep has. greatly diminished. The reason for tho latter is plain to bo seen. Tho permanently increased price anddeinamlforsheepis keeping thisHtockathomi*. Tlio general feeling is that the United Statos is taking a now start at_\vool and mutton growing. And the fact is leili/.ed that we shall need 50,- 000,000 mote sheep in thia country before wo eau begin to supply our own wool demand. Wo can send plenty of cattle and hogs to Kurope, but we can't spare the sheop. GOLD THIS WAY. There aro pretty gocd -ligns, indeed the very best, that gold will soon start to How back from Europe to this country. Do- maud sterling exchange was lower in New York last week than it has boen in a year. Sight sterling bills were quoted at. ?l SH. When tho quotation is below *?1 85 gold invariably (lows this way from Europe. Tho ?1 85 rato ls tho pivotal rate, when it don't pay to import or export gold. Itis tho great How of gold to Europe to pay heavy bills on iraporle.l goods that makes closo times in America. It would boa groat thing for the country if all the people would be willing to wear and use our cbeipor American-mado goods and keep more of tlio gold at homo. A year of that would bring prosperous times to all classes in this country. FEES ABB SAL ABIES. The duty of prime importance devolving upon the Legislature of the State, soon to assemble, is the proper adjustment of salaries of county and other officers. Tho voica of the people is unmistakable on on this subject. Some of the Slates have already provided for salaries instead of fees for this, and it seems to be wise. They require all fees to be paid into the public treasury. It is simply an outrage that fees and salaries are left so large to public ollicers, that they are enabled to pay out large sums to procure nominations and elections to offii-e. There are scores of officers who draw from the public double and frequently threo times the amount of money they could possibly earn in any other calling. There is no reason for this, and the time has come for putting an end to it. Tho Indiana Farmer intends to faithfully report weekly the movements and action of the coming Legislature and the soveral members thereof on this and all other questions, in which the people are so vitally interested. Important reforms havo been pushed asida too long already, and this matter cannot be put off any" longer. The people are willing to allow fair pay for the performance of public duties, but not three or four times over. Indeed in many of the large counties five to ten times over-pay. It is time a halt was called, and tho legislature Is expected to respond promptly. Waiiasii College, at Crawfordsville, was given $50,000 by the will of the lato D. II. l-'ayerweather, a millionare leather dealer of New York.
