subscribers, we will condemn the
committee and nullify, SO far as we
are able, their efforts to furnish both
state and city papers at lower prices,
rather than make a cut in our own
prices from ten to twenty-five cents.
Another fact, which shows that they
are desirous of provoking quarrel
with the committee, is that they are
making concession club rates, one with
another, by which the price of both
papers is cut as much or more than
the committee asks them to cut with
the city papers.
Be consistent, gentlemen. Do not
condemn the committee for trying to
continue a system which you have all
favored and profted by; do not scold
them for asking you to do just what
many of you are volunteering to do
with brother publishers, and do not
make yourselves ridiculous in the
opinions of your subscribers by refus-
Ing to make a small reduction on your
own prices, when it can be done to the
advantage of all parties concerned.
We are asready to resent any attempt
ed coercion by the committee as any
publisher, but we are willing to join
with the committee and the Republi-
can press in any reasonable scheme
which promises advantages to our
subscribers and the party. We shall
not engage in any petty quarrels witq
the Republican state committee, the
only result of which will be to the ad-
vantage of our political enemies.

PROSPERITY.

The estimates of the Bureau Of Ag-
riculture regarding fhe production of
corn and potatoes and the tabulated
reports of gross railway earnings for
October afford indisputable evidence
of increasing national prosperity. The
export statement shows that the value
of our shipments of breadstuffs last
month was S24, ,573, ,334. For October,
1890, these exports were only SS,343,-
246. This represents a gain of over
S16,000,O 900 to this country in single
month. Our wheat exports for Octo-
Der were %, 800, 600 bushels, as against
about 100000 last year; our rye ex-
ports were 1,765, ,3O3 bushels, valued at
81, $50, SOY, against no exports what
ever for October, 1890, and our ship
ments of corn, barley and oats all
show increases.
The crop estimates are extremely
favorable. The average yield
of corn per acre is estimated at
269 bushels as against 20.7 bushels
last year, and it is stated with conf
dence that the total corn crop will not
be less than 1000, 900, 900 bushels. The
potato crop is immense. The average
yield per acre is 93.9 bushels, the high
est in ten years. Last year was only
575 bushels. The effect which the
abundant harvests have had in in
creasing railroad traffic is strikingly
shown in the October exhibit of gross
earnings. One hundred and forty
seven roads report an increase over
the corresponding month last year of
$4, ,565, 1897. This is the greatest gain
in amount that has been shown since
October, 1889. The percentage of gain
last month was 8.24. Facts have also
been published showing that in spite
of the general impression that the
iron and steel industries are in a de-
pressed condition the weekly output
of the iron furnaces in blast on Nov.
1 was 1877, ,685 tons. This is the largest
weekly output on record. 1t shows
that the great metal industries are
now employing more workers than at
anV previous time

IN UNNECESSARY RACKET.

AS we stated last week there is
among some of the papers of the state
considerable criticism and a great
deal of unnecessary noise over the
attempt of the Republican State Com.
to provide republican papers, both
local and metropolitan, at low prices.
Some of the racket is occasioned by
the unWise and unauthorized action of
the Caledonia county committee man
who wrote letters to the CdLedonidn
were we'll calculated to arouse the ire
of two rival newspapers to his own.
Mr.. Walter, committee man, is inter-
ested in the st. JoInsbatry Republican,
and when he shook the red bandanna
in the face of his young rival of the
CGLedoniGn, there was a loud roar and
a paving of dirt at once. Out of his
letters and the criticisms of the Gale
do1eidn the whole matter, practically,
has sprung. But there is very little
of it at most. Four years ago Gov.
Page inaugurated the custom of club
bing state and city weeklies at low
prices. Nearly all the state papers
fall into the scheme pleasantly; a few
of the aristocratic, semi i-mugwump
sort rebelled; but the work went on
much, as was finally believed, to the
advantage Of the party. The papers
were furnished at a very low rate;
those who fell in with the plan receiv-
ed an increased paid up subscription,
and good per cent of new subscrib-
ers. The general public was provided
with the local and city papers at al
most the price of one paper; andwhile
there was big cut in the price of city
papers, a smaller one by the state pa
pers and per cent paid by the state
committee, nobody realiz ed any dis
advantage from the scheme. Most
publishers felt it to have been advan-
tageous, all things considered. From
that time to this the city papers, which
were in the pool, have been furnished
at just half the original prices, much
to the benefit of the people of this
state. 1t is fact worthy of remem-
brance that the very papers which
"kicked'' in 1888 have been most will
ing to accept the committees plan
and prices ever since, though they re-
fused to do it in 1888 when asked to
cut down their own prices slightly
They are today taking advantage of
the trade then made, and are receiving
per cent which the committee now
pays.
Now the great crime for which the
committee are arraigned is that they
have ventured to ask the publishers of
the state papers to cut their prices
during this year from 10 to 25 cents,
giving the same to their subscribers
in a club arrangement with the city
papers. These particular publishers,
who just now are making SO great a
| complaint, say in substance to their

WHY WE SHOULD BE THANKFUL.

American farmers have sent 81 ,0O0,
900 bushels of wheat to Europe within
two months past. This means that
about S85, ,OOO,O 900 in gold will have to
come to the United States to pay for
only part of two months harvest of
our soil. 1t is difficult in imagination
to present an adequate picture of the
richness of this years entire harvest,
nor can the wealth to be brought in
the next year to these shores be fully
realized by any mere figures, though
estimates of it are common enough.
To say that the balance of foreign
trade is now in favor of this country
at the rate ofnearly $4,000 900 for each
working day, or 5000, 600, 900 a year,
probably presents less striking fact
to the fancy of most people than the
statement that solid trains of grain
laden freight cars, twenty-f five miles
long, arrived in Duluth, Minneapolis
and Chicago within the space of twen-
ty-four hours recently!
The Western railroads are having
only one trouble at present. They
can not provide cars enough to send
the harvest of 1891 to the seaboard for
shipment to Europe. Grain elevators
in all the Northwestern states are now
jammed with wheat and corn, and
some of them can not be emptied be-
fore next summer, although Europe is
dependent upon their store for bread.
About 100000 bushels of wheat per
day are now being brought by the rail
roads to this port, and the steamship
and sailing vessel agents are as unable
to cope with the enormous product of
our soil as the railroads
One hundred and forty-nine steam
ers have actually been chartered to
load grain alone at Atlantic ports since
November 1. Prior to November 1, 163
steamers had been chartered. Ocean
freights have advanced as a conse-
quence from about five cents per BUSH
el for Liverpool and Glasgow on Aug
to fourteen cents per bushel last
week
This extraordinary increase in price
of ocean freights, and the fact that
charters are now made up to June,
1892, both indicate the prospective
prosperity of the United States com
pared with which every other nation
on the planet is this year poor indeed.

| fitably employed. The inspector says
''there is a tendency to greater ac-
! tivity and a larger demand for loans
in this state. Some of the smaller in
stitutions have been able to place all
their funds at home on satisfactory
terms" This is encouraging. We
trust this tendency will speedily be-
come tangible fact of such magni-
tude and certainty that its effect will
be everywhere seen and felt; that its
existence will be apparent outside Of
the covers Of the inspectors official
report WdtcbmdR.
This great nation Of 65,0OO,O ,OOO has
abundant reason for thanksgiving to-
day Prosperity reigns from one end of
the land to the other. In the smallest
cabin as well as in the finest palace,
there is tide of affairs that tends to
better the condition of every human
being in the United States. There is
poverty and suffering undoubtedly,
but there is less of it than there was a
twelve month ago, and there is vast
Iy less of it than in any other nations
of the civilized world. The excep-
tions are few where men and N5-1.sn
and children in this country are i'll fed
or rinadequately clothed. Comfortable
homes and happy families are the rule.
This prosperity is not of the day and
hour Nor is it temporary and fleet
ing. 1t comes from ripening condi-
tions of progressive civilization, in
which the United States has eclipsed
the record of the centuries. The
American system of government is
one of its prime causes. The fertility
of the soil and the vast resources of
the earth enable a nation of freedom
loving people to SO order their lives
that "peace on earth, good will to
man. becomes the general rule. 1t is
in that frame of mind that men may
enjoy Thanksgiving day both as re-
ligious and social event, as well as
a commemoration of things for which
they should be thankful.
