The Arena,

The Arena is new monthly maya
zine published in Boston, devoted to the
discussion OF living issues by the ables
thinkers of the day, and if it maintain
the high standard established in the
first two numbers it will soon take q
leading plac among the magazines OF
its class. The January number con-
tains articles by Robert G. Ingersoll,
Dion Boucicault, Laurence Gronlund,
Henry George and others, covering in
all 1917 pages of very interesting matter.
Henry Georges paper advocating the
destruction OF the rum traffic by meth
DDS, to say the least, decidedly original,
will be replied to by Gen. G. B. Fiske,
late prohibition candidate for the presl-
dency. from the standpoint of prohibi
ton, and Rev. Howard Crosby will rep
resent the advocates Of high license.
Every issue contains, in addition to one
or two finely-executed portraits, some
humorous or pathetic sketches by au
thors of acknowledged repute, as well
poems, "reminiscences, etc. The price
per year is IS, single copies so cents.
The sudden popularity it has reached is
attested by the fact that within ten days
after its first issue two new additions
were called for, and the January num-
Der is superior to The December.

The Most Perfectly Appointed Railroad
In the World.

OF all the trunk lines between the
East and the West there is none that in
any way compares with the magnificent
four track New York Central and Hud
son River Railroad, a railway that has
reached the highest degree Of perfection;
and all who either on business or
pleasure travel westward we most
heartily advise to 60 by this great line.
On no other route can anything like the
same comfort and luxury be obtained.
1t possesses a track unequaled for
Solidity and uniformity in construction,
its scenery along the Hudson and
through this rich and fertile section Of
New York is indescribably beautiful,
traversiDg a country not only delightful
but full OF historical associations, while
Its equipment and through train service
have no parallel. Its through trains are
marvels of luxury and comfort. Daily,
without change, it runs palatial vestl
bule sleeping cars from New York to
Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit,
Cincinnati and St. Louis, while on its
dining cars (the finest in service on any
line in the worldD meals are served equal
to the best New York hotels. The
traveller via the New York Central can
60 from starting point to end Of journey
ct any Of the great Western cities with
out leaving the train, eating and sleep
ing en- route in the greatest luxury and
pleasure. We have been West by all
the trunk lines, but unhesitatingly give
the Central route the preference over
all. In the first place all its trains start
IN New York from the magnificent
Grand Central Station, the onlv railway
station in New York City. New EnR
land is connected via the Boston &
Albany Railroad, the same magnificent
through equipment joining the main
line at Albany. In our opinion the New
York Central is a perfect road, and all
who travel via any other line do not get
in any way the comfort and pleasure
possible by selecting this line. It's per.
feet road bed enables the highest rate of
speed with safety, the officials are in
variably courteous and considerable,
while in equipment it leads all rival
lines. We repeat, therefore, to ali ouI
readers going West either on business
or pleasure we urge to ticket via the
New York Central and none other, for II
is not only by all odds the finest route
between the East and West, but one OIL
the best and most perfectly appointed
railroads in the world.-FTom the Bos
ton Christian Leader, Sept. IL, 1889.

TOR says that Kansas should manufacture
everything at Hume and purchase nothing
from the east that could be made here.
However, to whom would the Kansas farm
er sell his product; if the Tnanufacturin
districts of the east were deprived Of his
trade? If he did not buy their clothing and
machinery they would have no money to pay
him for his wheat and pork. Affair exchange
is what makes trade.-LState Journal.
1t was not the position takenin these
columns that all manufacturing should
be done inside the state lines, but that
in many ways the farmer can save him
money expense and that he should do so
when possible.

A Work for the Farmers Alliance


| A Work for the Farmers Alliance.
The Chicago board of trade is having
a hard struggle with the bucket-shOps.
1t is feared that some way will be found
to cjrcumvent the vigilance of the di-
rectOrs and defeat the end in view.
The Importance of the matter is far
greater than is generally supposed.
The object aimed at is to check gam
bling in grain because it is gambling
as much as betting on poker or faro,
but in the light of the Pillsbury state
ment, published in the Inter Ocean, the
especial urgency in the matter is that
the farmers are being ruined by the
| indirect effect of speculation. FOrtu-
nately, the milling interest lies in the
same direction as the farming interest,
and there ought TO be no great difficult
ty in getting them together to make
common cause against common enc
my. Mr.. PillSbury is the largest miller
in the country and must be accepted
as authority on the subject.
MIR. Pillsbury's central idea is that a
man selling a million bushels of fcti-
tiOus wheat depresses the market just
as much as it would to increase the ac-
tual production that much. This is
startling statement, for there are many
millions of fictitious wheat sold, more,
in all probability, than the actual wheat.
And what is true of wheat holds equal
ly true of corn and oats. This is new
phase of the subject to many minds,
and certain it is that the farmers them
selves have never taken it in. That
the gamblers who deal in wind and
make bets on futures should depresS
the grain market the same as if all that
wind were so much veritable increase
to the visible supply is the most signif-
cant agricultural fact conceivable. The
actual crop may be small next year, but
so long as the gambling continues the
farmers cannot expect good prices
Every alliance in all this western cOun-
try ought to be stirred from center to
circumference by this menace. In
comparison with this evil all other ag-
ricultural ills seem tame and trivial. |
Even transportation charges do not |
bear with anything like the force upon
the farmers that these fictitious sales
do. The evil is by no means confined |
to the bucket-shops. The legitimate
boards of trade do great deal of lille
climate trading, and every man who
makes a sale without having actual
grain at his command is doing a posi-
tive injury to the grain producing in
terest. Some way must be devised to
put practice so detrimental upon the
list of crimes. Public sentiment needs
to be educated up to that point. Until
then the decline in the price of cereals
may be expected to continue, and it
will net be many years before our
farmers will be ruined.-[Inter Ocean.

Burton on the Alliance.

J. R. Burton, of Abilene, Kas., is at
the Midland this afternoon, being on
his way home from Denver. When
asked about the Sunfower state he
said:
''The farmers alliance will be a
power in Kansas this fall, and rightly
so, l think. The organization is spread
ing, and am glad it is so, BIZ: l am
not on the inside. The time is coming
when ingalls, will be defeated. He has
been in the senate eighteen years and
has been turning his attention TO ne
groes while wheat is 50 cents a busbel
and corn II cents. The raisers of these
products will soon have their little
say."-[K. G. News.

The Triumph Of steel in Harvester
Building,

When in 1886 the Harvesting Ma
chine made practically of steel instead
Of wood, was introduced it was de-
nounced by all harvester manufactures,
except-William Deering s. CO.-be-
cause, as they said, it was not as dur
able as the wooden machines, but in
reality their denunction was caused by
the fact that they feared that it would
overturn their old methods of manu-
facture and give the farmers machines
so durable in structure as to prevent
their frequent temperance to purchase
another machine.
VIM. Deering & Co., however, per-
sisted in giving the farmers the benefit
OF their inventive ability, and in four
harvest seasons they have forced every
other manufacturer worth calling such
to build an imitation steel machine,
For 1890 the farming public will see
their greatest achievement-the New
Junior Steel Binder.
