A GOOD YEAR FOR FARMERS

The American Agriculturalist.
in it's animal review of the harvest
makes estimates, which, If within
bounds, makes this a profitable
year for farmers. 1t estimates
that the farm profits this year
will be $1,000, 100000 more than
during the recent years OF de.
preston. On the basis OF pres
emit prospects the corn crop Of
1891 is estimated to be 100000
600 bushels; wheat 100000, 900
bushels; oats 622 100000 bushels.
In 1880 the wheat crop was l $780,
600, COO bushels, and oats 24,OOO,-
600 bushels. The total yield OF
wheat, corn and oats on the basis
OF this estimate will be 28S per
cent. greater than last year, and
l4.7 per cent. above the average
Of the preceding eleven years On
this basis the value OF the corn
crop will be to farmers $1,000,
100000; wheat, 100000, 900, and
oats $3.50. 100000. This is $780,
100000 more than the value of
these crops in 1890, and s625 ,00O,-
900 more than the value of tie
average Of these crops from 1850
to 1890. inclusive.
Cotton and rice will command
better prices than last season.
Cattle are worth one third more
than eighteen months ago, with /.
other live stock in proportion. To-
bacco is advancing heavily. Hops
are firm at good prices. Winter
fruit will command large values,
and all vegetables are yielding
fairly, with every indication of a
remunerative market.
The export outlook was never |
better. Immensely increased sums |
will be sent to the United States |
for our produce. Or course, /
Interior influences may interfere
with these brilliant predictions,
but it is almost certain that
farmers will receive better profits
on their crops than ever before

THE Republicans of Iowa have held
their State Convention and placed in
nomination ticket composed Of good
clean men. The issues are now well
defined. The Democrats declare for
repeal Of the prohibitory law, the
Republicans demand its enforcement.
The Democrats are on record for
practical free trade, the Republicans
for protection in accordance with
the well established principles of the
party. The Democrats insist on free
silver, the Republicans contend for
limited coinage. The campaign will
soon open and the battle will be
warmly contested, both sides feeling
confident Of victory. There is a
strong feeling among many good men
Of the State that the prohibitory act
should be repealed and high license
law placed upon the statute books.
These men believe in having laws
that can and will be enforced, rather
than those which are openly and def
antly violated. There is not city Of
any particular Importance in the
State where liquors Of all kinds are
not sold openly and above board.
Take, for instance, the city Of Clin-
ton, a place Of less than 10000 with
over eighty saloons. Each month
the proprietorS Of these places are
brought before the municipal court
and fined $500 By this means the
city receives. a revenue of $500 yearly
from each dealer in compensa ton for
the fragrant violation of law. To one
living at this distance it would seem
that thousand dollar license with
stict regulations would be far better.
Any act that puts premium on yio-
lation Of law is bad, demoralizing and
degrading, and the manner in which
prohibition is treated by the authori-
ties is certainly disgrace to any COM
monwealth. The writer met a gen.
tleman on the train a few days ago
who resides at Charles City. He said
that his town, about 5000 population,
was absolutely prohibitiVe, while Wa
verify, only few miles distant, was
running four or five saloons wide
open. In communities where moral
sentiment will sustain it, prohibition
is all right, but such communities,
when numerically compared with
those of opposite views rank very low
down. The question, therefore, that
will overshadow all others in the To-
wa campaign this year, will be one
bearing upon the liquor traffic, and
the outcome cannot be forecast.
