craddled their grain with warmnted-to
make the back-ache cradle They tossed
the hay with a fork and nked II with a
mandrake, and mked and bound their
grain by hand They thrashed with a
fail, cleaned the grain with shaky old
tanning mill, and teamed II TO mill or
market with a yoke Of oxen, Yet with
all these uncouth and primitive means
and appliances and the enormous cost In
labor they involved, farming paid mid
ding we'll Now the farmers have steel
plows, gang plows, sulky plows, cultlya-
tors, improved harrows, moving ma
chimes, self.blndlng haryesters, separators
and can do more work with less eXcrtion
in day than their fathers could in q
week In other words, their products
cost them only about one-siXth as much
In labor as the same products cost the
farmers Of forty years ago, So you see
farming pays six times as well now as II
did then! and as forty years ago the far
mer lived, kept out Of debt, and even
saved money, the farmer now could live
six times as well, keep clear Of debt, and
save six times as much money. So you
see il Is fool question to ask why farm
ing don't pay, for II does pay and pay
we'll,
But you will say It isn't tre that farm
ers now live six times AZ well Os their
fathers did; II isn't true that NJ II rule
they save or can save any money, or even
keep out Of debt Yes, admit that; and
| also admit that though they have
worked hard and had the advantage of
all the improved machines I've spoken
Of, together with n knowledge Of valuable
chemical and scientific discoveries OF
which their fathers knew nothing, they
have not only been unable TO make both
ends meet, but have even had 20 mort
gage the farms their fathers left them
and sometimes to sell halfor three -fourthf
of their land 10 save the balance from the
usurers. But that don't prove that farm
ing don't pay; II only proves that the
farmers don't get the profits Of farming.
Who gets them then? Where do the
profits 60, and how comes il that the
farmers part with the profits Of their own
work? Now, these are not fool questions
they are right to the point They call fol
an answer, and they must be answered
The best thing that has happened for the
last hundred years is that the farmers have
made up their minds that they are going
to find out the answers TO them. And The
next best thing Is that the other workers
the people who are the farmers customers
and whose customers the farmers are
have made up their minds that they have
as much interest in finding the answers ~
the farmers themselves have. You know
the story Of the lark who had built he
nest in wheat field, and who came home
one night and found her young ones in
great fright because the farmer and hi
son had been at the field and said that n
the grain was ripe they would get th,
neighbors to cut it next day. But the ole
lark, who, by the way, seems to hav,
known more than the average American
voter-more about men and their littl,
peculiarities, | mean; not about larks, fo
some men know of know quite as mucl
about larks as is good for them sale
there was no hurry about moving. sh,

II. G, DUN & cos REPORT.
Some Stringency in the Money
Market.

NEW YORK, Oct 17.--R. G. Dun u
Co.'s weekly review of trade says: In
all directions the business outlook inn
proves, and the volume of trade so in
creases that notwithstanding recent enor-
nous increase of circulation, the money
markets are growing stringent. Exports
have become remarkably large, and
domestic trade is such that exchanges
outside of New York exceed last years by
is per cent. But while New York and
Boston money markets are fairly sup
Piled and steady at 5 to per cent the
market is tight at Chicago and strongest
at Philadelphia, only part of the CONNER
clal paper offered being taken at to Z
per cent; st. Louis notes an active mar
ket at 7 to per cent; Milwaukee a close
market at Z, and at Savannah tight
market But at Cleveland and De-
troit the markets are rather easier,
at Kansas City firm and at Pittsburg there
| is good demand without stringency.
Trade is strong everywhere. At Boston
wool is steady and goods In better de-
mapd, while cottons are selling well and

low duties.
At 81. Paul, Omaha, Denver and Kan

ness. Though the production of print
cloths at advanced prices Is held unpro-
fitable. Another great industry has been
making notable progress; the number of
hogs packed at the west from March
to Oct. was 7,965,000 against 100000
last year; an increase of nearly 81 per
cent.
Speculation in wheat has made fur
ther progress this week, the price rising
l q cent on small sales, but exports are
practically stopped. In September only
495,259 bushels were exported, against
2,22S, 104 last year, went from the Allan
tic ports, and thus far in October only ii
small part of last years eXports-for four
days of this week were 10000 bushels,
against 432, 900 last year.
Corn also goes abroad but little, hav-
ing advanced during the week only an
eighth, while oats have risen 14c, But
expert movements of cotton is extraordi-
narily large, IN September 207,000,000
pounds against 176,OO0,0OO pounds last
year and IN October thus far there is y
large increase, helped by the yielding in
price sixteenth this week.
The business failures during the last
seven days number 227, as compared with
215 last week. For the corresponding
week of last year, the figures were 1923.
The new tariff has caused an advance
IN prices of some kinds of goods, which,
together with the rise resulting from the
partial failure of crops, has moved up the
general level of prices materially, though
less than one per cent on all commodities

this city Saturday afternoon. Daniel G..
Price of Sallna, Kansas, was fatally
wounded by Lille Booth of Camp Point,
