IS IT A FRAUD?

The Manhattan Nationalist quotes "a
prominent Kansan" as expressing his
belief, a few days ago, that Professor
Shows death-dealing chinch-bug discov-
cry is all a hoax. He even went so far as
to say that the professor was not even
honest in his pretentions; that no one
knows better than he that the so-called
discovery is a fraud? 1t is true, says a
o. X, "that in some fields where his in
oculated insects have been placed the
bugs die; but it is also true that the bugs
die in other sections at the same time
where the diseased insects have not been
placed; the death of the bugs is due to
atmospheric conditions, and not to any
discovery of Professor Snow" This may
be so, but the public will be slow to &C
cept it. The mere circumstance that the
criticism comes from the precincts of the
agricultural college, while Professor
Snow is at the head of another state in
stitution gives ground to suspect that the
Manhattan institution IS just a little
jealous of its preserves. II Shows IN
oculation remedy is a fraud, farmers in
some half dozen different states who
have tried it, as we'll as quite a good
many in Kansas, have been very success
fully hoodwinked with their eyes wide
open. Such suspicious as that above
quoted will not kill the Snow discovery
as long as it kills the chinch bugs.

AN IMPORTANT RAILROAD RULING.
From the Globe Democrat.

From the Globe Democrat.
One of the most important decisions
vet made by the interstate commerce
commission has just been rendered In
the case of the New York Board of
Trade vs.. the Pennsylvania and other
railroad companies. 1t Is To the effect,
generally speaking, that where mer-
chendise is shipped from abroad into
this country, it shall not be hauled by
the railroads from the port of entry TO
the place of delivery at a lower rate
than the regular charge upon internal
traffic between such points. As the
matter has heretofore stood, the rail-
road and steamship companies have
combined to make through rate from
Liverpool. for instance, to Chicago or
St. Louis. less than the sum of the ocean
and inland rates, thereby giving the
foreign shipper a decided advantage
over the local shipper on same in
land business. That Is to say. the rail
roads have been carrying English and
French goods from the Atlantic seabOard
to the citI of the west and south at
prices considerably below those imposed
upon home dealers in like products. This
form of discrimination Is manifestly IN
lust and unfair, and the Interstate Com
nlerce commission rules that 1t Is also in
direct violation of the law.
The decision affects al the eastern
trunk lines, and many OF the western
roads that have traffic arrangements
with said lines. Il Is not likely that the
railroads will care to resist or evade a
ruling that simply places the foreign and
domestic shippers On an equal footing.
Their home traffic Is worth tar more to
them than that which comes from abroad
and if any favor IS shown it should be to
the for ner. The matter has a certain
significance from the tariff point of view.
1t involves the idea Of protection TO
American manufacturers and dealers
against foreig competition. There Is no
reason why the European shipper should
have reduced freight rates on inland
TRANSPORTATION. and be enabled thereby
TO neutralize in whole or IN part the
duties imposed upon his goods for pro-
tective purpost :. The most that he can
reasonably ask is the same rate that do
nestle shippers have TO pay. This = all
that he viii get hereafter. He must
compete with the American trader on
even terms so far IS the distribution OF
his goods through the country Is con-
cerned. There VIII be 10 more through
rates 50 arranged As to permit him 70
ship merchandise over our railroads At
less than the established rates for local
traffic. The ocean charges can not be
controlled. of course, anu he Is at liberty
10 make all he can out OF that; bat when
his goods reach our shores aud are trans
ferred To the railroads for internal ship
menJ, they viii have 10 bear the same
burden Of cost that Is placed upon the
competing domestic products.

liable land than they have been allie To
secure, one year with another. or in
their most successful years as for that.
Here are the figures:
In 1890 there were planted in France
80, 2l0 acres Of sugar bets against 226.-
34l acres in 1889; the last year was not
very favorable on account OF too niue
dampneSS in the beet regions OF France
and the crop Is the poorest for sixteen
years; the -. 2l0 acres produced IL
9e4,oOO.O00 pounds Of best roots. The
roots after having passed through the

sugar, blQ00O.OO pounds of molaSSes
and 0,400, OF, 900 pounds Of pulp. The

INVESTMENTS IN CORN LANDS.

From the New York Times
John w. Bookwater Of Ohio, who
spends more Of his time in New York
than at the location of his agricultural
implement works in Springfield, has
been a guest for several months at the
Hotel Brunswick l had talk with
him Yesterday IN which he predicted to
me that more money will be made III the
next ten years by investment in lands
that are fitted for raising corn than in
anv Other direction. Said he: Il have
been watching the corn product as it re-
lates to consumption. We demand more
corn every year than the production will
supply. The deficiency in the supply Is
growing greater every year. You Will
never see corn below 40 cents a bushel
again in this country. Now. that means
that corn land is going to be valuable. |
have recently sold a large tract of corn
land, which l have held for twelve
years 1t was the poorest of all my land
investments. 1t brought me just twen-
tv-one times what l paid for it. l have
been buying LAM for investment for
wears. L began fourteen years ago. l
figured up the other day that | could
sell all my holdings and average over
sixteen times what paid for the various
properties. That tells what there Is III
land purchases.

Twenty-three blast furnaces have shut
lown in the Shenango and Mahoning
Calleys of Pennsylvania and Ohio, throw
ing nearly 10000 men out of work, and
the reason given by furnace owners why
they cannot continue operations under
present conditions is the large amount OF
southern iron now being shipped into
shat district. Several years ago Henry
Watterson declared that pig iron could,
and won in a few years, be made in
Alabama and Tennessee for less than 81
a ton-the current price at that time
was Sl4. The iron men Of the country
laughed him to scorn, and some people
thought Henry had gone daft on his
tariff reform idiom. Well. it must be
allowed that he outgueSsed the rest on
the iron proposition. And the only
question that remains is, What are the
Pennsylvanians going to do about II?
