teen concluded, and never before, hm
sure, have the influence, national and
commercial, Of the United States been
held In higher estimation on both
hemlspheres.
THERE ARE MANY UNION SOLDIERS
and sailors In this country yet, vetor-
ans OF an honorable struggle not re-.
mote. Increasing infirmity and years
give minor tones Of sadness and pathos
70 the mighty appeal OF service and
suffering, who does not listen with
sympathy, and the heart that does not
respond with generosity are car and
heart OF allen and not Of American.
Now soon again surviving veterans arc

national capital and every tribute OF
honor anu love should attend their
march. Comrsds In column Of vlctora

upon the people OF all sections the con
alteration that no good cause can BIO

Mobs do not discriminate and punish.
mebt Inflicted by them have no re.
presslvc or salutafy Influence. On the
contrary, they begel revenges aud
perpctuate ieuis. II IL especially the
duty Of the educated and influential to
STE that the weak and ignorant when
accused Of crime are fairly tried before
lawful tribunal. The moral senti.
inent VI the country should be aroused
aud brought to bear for the suppression
Of these Oflcnsca against law and social
order.
Ihe necessity for careful
DISCRIMINATION AMONG EMioRASTs
seeking our shores becomes every day
moro apparent. We don't want anu
should not receive those who by reason
Of bad character or nnblt are not
wanted at home. Industrious and self
respecting lovers OF law and liberty
should be discfirlinated from pauper
labor.
II seemed to ms an appeal to our
people 20 consider the question Of re-
adjusting our legislation upon hbso-
lutely fair non-partisan lines might
Ind some effective response. Many
psrtlsans have had occasion 10 say
that laws and election methods de-
signed ~ give unfair advantages to
the party making them would some
time be used 10 perpetuate ia power n
faction or party against the will OF tho
people.
or this we seem TO have nm illustra.
ton In the recent state election In
A Ia bama. There was no Republican
ticket In the field. The contest was
between white Democrats. The kolb
party say they were refused the repre-
Hentation guaranteed by law upon the
election boards and when the courts
| by mandamus attempted TO right this
wrong an appeal that could not be
heard until after the election made 10
Intellectual. Ballot.boxes were thrown
out for alleged Irregularities or des-
troyed and II IN asserted on behalf at
least Of the white voters OF Alabama,
that the officers 10 whom certificates
have been given were not honestly
elected. There In no security for per.
sonnl or political rights. The power
OF States over the question OF qualih.
cation Of electors IN simply 10 protect
them against the dangers Of an igorant
or depraved suffrage. We demand that
every man found to be qualified under
law shall be protected.
Tho considerate attention OF tho
farmers Of the whole country Is In
vited 10 tho work done through the
State and agricultural departments In
THE INTEREST OF AGRICULTURE.
Our pork products were for ten years
not only excluded by the great conti-
mental nations OF Europe but their
value dIscredited by the reasons given
for this exclusion. All previous efforts
to secure the removal OF these re-
slrictiOns failed, but the wise legisla-
ton Of the Fifty-frst Congress, pro-
viding for the inspection and official
ooTtihcation OF our meats aud giving
the President power 10 forbid the In
PRODUCTION into this country OF selected
products Of such countries ~ shall
continue to refuse our inspected meat,
enabled us TO open nil the markets OF
Europe to our products. Tho result has
been not only TO sustain prices by pro-
viding new market for our supplies,
but TO add fifty cents per 100 pounds TO
the market value OF inspected meats.
Under the reciprocity agreement
special favors were secured for agrl-
cultural products aud our exports OF
such products have been greatly In
creased with sure prospect OF further
and rapid increase. The agricultural
department has maintained In Europe
an agent whose special duty Is 70 In
troduce the various preparations OF
corn Ms articles OF food, and tho work
has been very successful. The depart.
ment also sent skilled veterinnaans TO
Liverpool to examine in connection
with British veterinarians, live cattle
from the United states landed at that
port; and the result In connection with
sanitary methods adopted at home, has
been that we hear no more about cattle
being infected with pneumonia. A
Judicious system OF quarantine lines
prevented Infection Of N, rthern cattle
with Texas fever.
THE GENERAL CONDITION
OF our country 10 one OF great PROS
perlty. The Blessing OF God has
rested upon our nelds and upon our
people. The annual average Of our
foreign commerce has increased more
than 81, 900, coo over the average OF the
preceding ten years and more than
$40, 900, 900 over $780, Last year, un.
affected by the new tariff, our exports
In 1892 exceeded those Of 1890 by more
than Sl70, 600, 900 and the annual aver
ace for ten years by S265. 100000. Our
exports Of breadstuiis increased over
those OF 1890 more than $4,000, 900; VI
provisions, si,OO0,0O0 and Of manu-
ilstures over sS,0O0,000. or mcrchan-
dise tho balance OF trade In our favor
IN 1902 10 s20l, 9ii,3i2. No other
nation can match tho commercial
progress which those figures disclose.
