ply question; We now import hundreds
of ms OF sugar, whereas if our surplus
corn could in part be made avail
able for the sugar supply, it would not
only develope great industry among US,
but stop the flow OF gold and silver to
other countries for this product. The
corn product which now brings us on an
average less than So cents per bushel in
the west, would then yield the producer
aad manufacturer together over one dol
lar per bushel. An additional sixty-five
cents per bushel on our corn in the west
would make wonderful change. Of
course this would not all go to the farmer
direct, but it would 60 to operatives and
manufacturers in our midst, building up
communities which would in turn afford
home markets for additional product. and
make wealth that would benefit all.

The effect of Minnesota's action upon
the school book question is already man
ifest. We quote.
A communication in the New York

The Publishers Board of Trade, better
known as the "school book ring" has
virtually come to an end by tae with
drawal of two OF the leading publishers
-lvison. Biakeman. Taylor & Co., of
New York, and Wilson, Hinkle s. Co., OF
Cincinnati. "Bookse claims that the
original object of the association has
been diligently misrepresentation it
WAS merely what was technically termed
The wholesale Strengthening OF books"
or the exchanging, without any equiva-
lent, OF new BOOKS tor old ones in the
schools OF the county, practice that
become SO common as to be ruinous to
the publishers and demoralizing to the
teachers and schools-and that there has
never been an attempt by the board to
| regulate Or control the retail price OF
books, Sc. "bookseler' regre that,
lowing to the growth OF mistaken pub
lie opinion hat the organization is a
monopoly, and the publishers, through il.
are exac,lny enormous prices for books,
it was thought pest by the house to re-
tire" He goes on to argue that school
hooks are the cheapest books in the
market, and that they cannot be man.
uactured cheaper than at present, taking
into account the quality OF the work ane
the expenses OF aul horship. The con
fession that the "ring" had been broker
by the force of public sentiment W,
hope is an indication that sentimcn
lay be squa ~ p ,tenial in reducing tn,

The head Of the firm is brother to MI
