manufactured at home as cheap as
anywhere in the world. We have
the coal, waterpower and the facili-

if we will but act in such way as to
encourage it. Let us stop all this
stuff about tariff and other nonsense,
and go to work in earnest to encour-
age the building up of factories of
every description. Give us more of
these and more railroads, and the
whole country will be more prosper

To the Voters of Warren County:
am candidate to represent you in
the lower branch of your next State
Legislature. On account of having
chills, | fear l will not be able to cam
vass the county as l would like to do.
Then, it becomes a necessity that
should make known to you my position
on the issues involved in the canvass.
l stand upon the Democratic platform,
and will support the nominees, both
State and National, | regard the set
Element of the State debt made by the
last Legislature as final, and am in fa-
vor Of maintaining the same. l am in
favor of such legislation as will compel
the railroads to bear their just proper,
ton of taxation. | am in favor of the
regulation of railroads by commission
for that purpose, SO as to protect the
roads in all their rights, and the PEG.
pie from unjust discrimination. am
opposed to any more taxes being levied
by the State government than is neces.
Sary to defray the expenses of the same
economically administered, l do not
think the people really for prohibition
therefore l am opposed to interfering
with the liquor question. Being a life
long democrat, I am in favor of refer
ring all great questions to the people
for ratification or rejection at the ballot

SOWING WHEAT.

Almost every agricultural paper has
more or less to say, just now, upon the
subject of wheat culture. This is all
right. We are glad to see the subject
discussed in all its features. Not only
the preparation of the land; the varie-
ty to sow; how much seed per acre
the best fertilizer and The proper quanti-
ty to use for the best results, but also
the question of supply and demand
should be well understood. There is
such thing as over>stocking the mar
kets, as at present. This should be
avoided. Ar over supply tends to de-
press the markets and sometimes re,
duces prices below the cost of produc-
ton.
The present crop is estimated at
500, 100000 bushels. Perhaps if the
crop of the United States had been 20
or % per cent. less, or only enough to
supply home demand, the farmers
would have been better off. We like
to make large crops, but it is not al.
ways the largest crops that pay the
best profit. The aim of every bust
ness or occupation is, or should be, to
make money. Farming should be nc
exception to the rule. AS a general
thing wheat does not pay majority Of
the farmers, especially that class who
cannot, or do not make more than five
to seYen bushels per acre. Less than
Is to 20 bushels will not pay much
above the cost of production when
prices are as low as they have been,
and are at present. What are we tC
do about it? Shall we continue the
suicidal policy of planting large areas
of poor land? Certainly not. We
must reduce the area and concentrate
our energy and means with view o.
planting no more wheat or any Other
crop than will pay profit. A gooC
rule is to plant no more of anything
than we eau manage successfully
Profit is what every farmer should
work for, and when he cannot make it
he should quit the business and get ou
of the way of others.
