THE FARMERS PROPORTION.

One of the points which the free
trade element is always making, and
which is also endorsed by the Popu-
lists, is that the increased prosperity
which has come to this country since
1860, has not been shared tS the farm
ers and that wherein thief then pos
sessed so per cent. of thef nations ag-
gregate wealth, they now possess only
about 30 per cent. of it. TO the I'M
thinking, or to those who have not or
do not take the time to investigate, it
looks as though there was something
decidedly wrong in this showing. But
in their harrangues along this subject
the free traders do not offer any proof
to show that the farmers are any less
prosperous.
The fact of the matter is that pre-
vious to the war and the adoption of
our protective tariff system, the great
manufacturing and industrial system
of the country was not to any degree
developed. AT that time the capital
employed in manufacturing was less
than $1,000, 100000. In 1890 it was
over Sc, 600, 100000. In others words
previous to 1860 we were mainly an
agricultural nation, while since then
we have taken up the line Of industri-
al march, which has resulted in plac-
ing us in the front rank among the
manufacturing nations Of the world.
Then large share of our agricultural
products went abroad in search of an
uncertain market. Now the great in
dustrial army which has been built up
at home furnishes market for them,
great as their increase has been, so
that the surplus which goes abroad is
only in the neighborhOod of ten per
cent. of the whole.
And in the mean time our agricult-
ural interests have greatly increased
and our farmers are more prosperous.
They ENJOY more comforts indulge in
more luXuries, have grown more intel
ligent and get more enjoyment out of
life. Their progress has been mar
velous one and no person who makes
a thorough inquiry into the matter,
can candidly aver that their prosper
ity would have been greater had the
industrial progress been less rapid,
so that agricultural would have main
tanned it's so per cent. proportion to
the total wealth of the republic, which
it occupied in the palmy days of free
trade.

to my mind, was strong to the point.
He said that she knew enough to
know that when an American paid
twenty dollars for steel to an English
manufacturer, America had the steel
and England had the twenty dollars.
But when he paid twenty dollars for
steel to an American manufacturer,
America had both the steel and the
twenty dollars"
Reform What a metallic sound
the word has when associated with
the Democratic party. No reform
can ever come from the Democratic
party, dominated by the element that
always dominates it when they are in
power.

AND now the story comes from
Washington that the senate may yield
to the house on the tariff bill. How
much of this yielding of one house to
the other is really possible fact, and
how much exists only in the imagina-
ton of the correspondents, is hard to
say. 1t was Garfield who said that the
unexpected always happened" and
it may be it will in this case. Possibly
the senators who are opposed to the
house bill, see no other way of break
ing the deadlock, and prefer to let it
go that way and have the conference
report defeated in the senate, and so
bring it to an end. But so long as it
is Democratic quarrel there is no
telling what the outcome will be.

Prospects For Settlement of
Tariff Differences Look
ing Brighter.
C0NFEREES MEET HALF WAY.
House Members of the Opin-
ion That the Week Will
See the End.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The prospects
OF an agreement on the tariff were much
improved during the day. For the first
time i'll many days the house Demo
cratic conferees came from the meeting
with the statement that previous ire
concilable differences were in process of
amicable adjustment. With much sat-
isfaction the house members stated to
their associates that the senators had
shown disposition for the first time to
meet the house half way. AS to when a
full agreement would be perfected there
was some difference of opinion. One
house conferee said it would probably be
this week. Another
Thought 1t Would Be "Soon."
Chairman Wilson would not admit that
the understanding had gone far enough
to. warrant the prediction of speedy
report. He said, however, that the con-
ferees had at least done business and
made progress during the day, which
was more than could have been said of
past meetings. The senate conferees
came from the meeting without show
ing the hopefulness of the house mem
bers. They said the conference was as
far from agreement as it had been.
While there was this conflict among
those thoroughly informed of the inside
workings Of the conference, the general
belief prevailed that the hopefulness of
the house conferees had
Some Substantial Foundation.
One Of the conferees said that while no
final agreement had been made on iron,
coal and sugar, yet sufficient had been
developed in conference to show that all
agreement could be reached on these
most important items which would be
acceptable to the senate and house con-
ferees and the house of representatives
Whether it would be acceptable to the
full senate he expressed some doubt. In
this connection it developed that SEN
ator Gallery, who has been most active
on the sugar question, had a long, and,
it is said, satisfactory conference with
Speaker Crisp and Chairman Wilson.
While the house conferees were so
Pleased at the Bright Outlook,
their senatorial colleagues contented
themselves with saying that while they
were hopeful of reaching an understand,
ing, nothing had TRANSFERRED in confer
ence to base this hope upon. They de-
clare that on the essential items of
disagreement the conferees are as far
apart as ever.
An increased hopefulness that bill
will be agreed upon is noticeable, how
ever, upon the part of Democratic sena-
tors who are not members Of the con-
ference. One Of the leading conserva,
tive senators said as he was leaving the
senate chamber that the tariff bill
would be finally agreed upon by next
Monday, and he added that the bill
would be virtually the senate bill.

A REDWOOD FALLS dispatch to t

A REDWOOD FALLS dispatch to the
Minneapolis Journal says: The long
expected report of gold quartz which
was sent to Kansas to be crushed and
converted into bullion has been re-
ceived. The yield was S6S to the ton,
larger than expected. Alfred Edlund,
geologist, of Minneapolis, went to
Kansas to oversee the crushing. The
second car which has been sent has
been lost, and a tracer will be sent
for it. Work will now commence on
an extensive scale removing gold
quartz. Investigation shows there
are quantities of gold in the vicinity.
