just look at this, says high-tariff
paper. A roof of American tin plate has
actually been put on house at No. 219
Centre street, New York. Isn't this
enough to demonstrate that the
Mckinley tariff is bound to be howl
ing success What does il matter If
that roof did cost the American people
millions of dollars in increased taxes
BY the same reasoning it might be de-
monstrated that The people Of Delaware
ought to grow their own oranges. If
a prohibitory tariff is good thing for
the nation, II ought TO be a good thing
for the State. 1t has been demonstrated
that oranges can be grown in Delaware.
They cannot be grown in the open air,
it is true, but they can be produced
with care in dollhouse culture. Unfor-
tunately the cost Of this culture comes
too high to enable local growers to
compete with the pauper fruit Of
Florida and other outside communities.
But If we could build a high-tariff wall
around our State and then slap on an
import duty of dollar dozen on
oranges, how it would foster theunborn
infant industry Of orange culture in
Delaware, II would be little rough
on the men who buy oranges Of course,
just as it is now on the men who buy
tin plate, but what are consumers for If
they cannot be plucked BY producers

western portion of Oklahoma is con-
cerned it is the only daily newspaper
that reaches the people on the day of
publication, and that viii probably be
the case for many months to come. As
yet there is no daily paper printed in
oklahoma on the line of the Rock Island
railroad, and there is no town that can
keep one out of the poor house. The
Oklahoma dailies are all printed on the
line of the Santa Fe, and they get 70 this
part of the territory in such a slipshod
fashion, often two or three DAYS after
publication, that so far as daily news is
concerned they are practically worthless.
They are very creditable papers and if
mail facilities were better would secure
fair circulation in the western Oklahoma
towns. In the nature of things, how
ever, with no cross railroads, and no
prospect of any in sight, the EAGLE must
for an indefinite time cover this field.
1t does not appear that the EAGLE has
appreciated the importance of this matter
as It should. AT least eighty per cent. OF
It's Oklahoma news has been from the
east side, where it can hardly hope to
maintain the standing that it ought TO on
the west side for the reasons stated. The
EAGLE is now taking its first especially
active interest in behalf of this portion of
the Territory. Heretofore it has shown
pronounced disposition TO laugh at our
towns and our people. We are yet poor
and backward compared with Guthrie
and Oklahoma City; we have had an
up hill job of it; for months we had no
railroad. and still have no southern rail-
road outlet. The great men and capital
lists have mostly gone TO the towns on
the east. They have, however, about
finished those towns up, and it will
soon be our turn. Within a year
or two the Rock Island will have
Its southern terminus at Galveston
or some other point on the coast,
within few months there will be 3d.
900 new settlers in the Cheyenne and
Arapahoe country; the Wichita, Caddo
and other reservations will be open to
within the present fiscal year
in all probability-the center of poula-
tion will swing toward the setting sun;
there may be yet provocation for occa-
sional laughter, but the covert sneer will
be lost in the shuttle. We realize that
we have cut rather sorry figure, here
tofore; that the tig men and the big
and the big influences have all
been against us, and while we under
stand that many of our capers were
provocative of mirth, what we seriously
object to is the horse laugh at our ex-
pense.
The EAGLE has made many friends in
the last few days, as before intimated; it |
is of necessity our paper; we want it to
be good to US, and be solemn for a short |
time. Before long we will join it in a
big hearty laugh that will not please
everybody. The boy and the frog will |
exchange places, or at least the fun will |
not all be on one side

PROSPERITY FOR THE FARMERS.

Henry Clews, commenting on the
large export possibilities of America this
year says: 1.-The quantity of wheat liable
to be exported during the coming year
may be inferred from the fact that, dur
ing the year ending July /, 1891, we ex-
ported 100, 900, 900 bushels of wheat and
flour with crop of 400, 900, 900 bushels,
which was 40, 000. 900 bushels less than
the probable crop of the present year,
from which it may be inferred that onr
actual capacity for export out of this
years crop will be considerably over
POO, 1000, 900 bushels, our highest previous
export having been 1856 000, 900 bushels
in 1881. The average value of our an
nual exports of wheat and flour, for the
last seven years, has been sos, 900, 900,
the average export price reducing the
flour 10 wheat having been
87l cents per bushel Should
the exports out of this crop reach 200.-
100000 bushels and the export price
average 81, the value of our shipments in
1912 would exceed by SOP, GOO, 600, the
average yearly shipments of the last
seven years. On this basis of valuation
the present year. estimated at $40, 900, 600
bushels, would give to the farmers, mil
lers, carriers and handlers a total result
of $40, 600, 600, against 1872, 500, 900 as
the value of lastyear's crop of 4O0, 900 900
bushels, valued at an average export
price of e3.2 cents per bushel. Results
like these, upon our three great crops,
mean an Invaluable boon to our great
agricultural industry and to all other in
dustries depending upon it, the effects of
which cannot fail to be soon felt in
marked revival of both our internal and
external commerce"

distribution of her imports directly from
her doors to this vast empire any more
than New York OF other eastern seaports
was able to do it.
Neither can her business men expect to
do this business without dong such
things as is always necessary to do to
control it.
Too much confidence in deep water
and location may loose them the golden
opportunity which presents itself now
for great accomplishments. An oppor-
tunity once lost cannot be recalled.
Mammoth elevators should be erected at
Galveston to receive the grain concen-
trated at Wichita, Fort Worth and other
points in elevators that will work with
them.
The initiative in this direction can only
be made by Galveston, and the whole
country looks to Galveston to take the
preliminary steps.
