comforting influence. Il is too great TO be
the work of mans power and too particu-
lar TO be the device of the mind. To God.
the Benehoent and the AI-wise, who makes
the labOrs Of men to be fruitful. redeems

s7oo.ooo.ooo for the Farmers.

100000, 600 Tor the Farmers.
From the New York Press
The annual report Of Secretary Rusk Of
the Agricultural Department estimates the
increased value Of the crops Of the United
States for this year over last year al $780,
100000. The estimate is undoubtedly near
" correct If anything it is lower than
the real facts. The increase is not confined
to any one product, but Is scattered over the
whole range Of natural products of the soil.
II embraces corn, wheat, oats, barley, tobac-
co. cotton, live stock, and everything which
the farmers Of the country produce. In
some instances, as for example in the mat
ter Of oats, prices are lower than last year; ;
but the Weld per acre is so much larger than
last year that The balance in cash is on the
side of the farmer.
The prosperity OF any country begins
with the prosperity Of the workers of the
soil. For weeks there have been signs in all
business centers Of returning business ae-
uvity and prosperity. It was the outerOp-
ping Of the magnificent results that have
been attained on the farms Of the country.
The farmers are able by the results Of this
years harvesting and the strong demand for
their breadstufs in Europe to pay of their
mortgages. refurnish their homes, spend
money upon their families and in other
ways make themselves comfortable and hap
py in their surroundings.
The railroads are kept busy Transporting
their products TO the seabosrd for shipment
abroad. The banks are kept busy handling
the checks that represent the funds paid for
the crops. The arteries Of business life are
filed with fresh blood in consequence Of the
money they are spending. and the whole
nation quivers under the renewal of activity
The S7o0,000O00 increased value of the
/ crops Of the United States will be almost en-
tirely paid by foreign countries, which mus
/ have our cereals and meats. Il is therefor,
I like so much added TO the wealth ofthe ma
ton. 1t goes first 10 the agriculturist. but
It eventually Penetrates the entire nation and
gives life TO every business element.

THE proposition for q convention TO
remodel the Constitution Of this State
was beaten by 24S,522 votes Only l12,-
600 out of nearly 100000 voters cast their
ballots for it. We do not consider our
present Constitution a model one, by
anv means, but in common with the vast
majority Of our fellow citizen, we "would
rather endure the ills We have than fly
10 those we know not Of" 1t is TO be
hoped that the cranks and political con-
stitution makers will now quit pestering
the public with their patent vermifuge
ideas and let well enough alone.

Democrats wese brought into the State

also arrayed against Mckinley and the
tariff. and It was on this new ally that
Governor Campbell largely depended
1t isa self evident fact that in Ohio the
Democracy were routed, horse and foot,
on their own chosen issue Of the tariff.
They know that this viii be the issue in
the coming Presidential contest, and

Only eleven counties in the entire State
declared in favor Of the Constitutional Con-
Tentlon- These were Bedford, Carbon, Col
umbia, Elk, Enc, LackAwsnna, Luzerne,
Nekean, Northumberland, Warren and
Wayne This is very meager showing,
considering that the advocates Of the con
vention boosted that it would carry every
county.

Our exports Of breadstuffs took tremend-
sas jump in October. The total value of
them was 50, 465, ,334, as against $, ,343, ,2i5
in October. iS90. an increase of nearly 30
per cent. For the ten months ending Octo
Der Slst, we have exported breadstuffs to the
value of sIG9, As, ,46S. S50,OOOOO0 worth
more than in The corresponding ten months
Of 1880. Much Of this incresse-especially
that in rye-is no doubt due to the famine in
Russia, and the general failure Of European
crops, and this helps to explain, too, the in
creased price Of our wheat, corn and other
grains. Wheat has gone up in year 10
cents bushel corn cents, and -four %
cents barrel. Some ofthis increase is legit-
imately due to the tariff. and some to the
reciprocity policy which has opened for our
breadstufis new markets. This is the farm
ers' year, and they may thank Providence
first and the Republican party next.
