ALREADY there is considerable
talk about the probable nominees
for president in 1896, and in the
connection it is remarkable how
some democratic papers affect to
be merry over an unauthorized an
nouncement that President Harri
son will be a candidate again for
the republican nomination. All
that he did in his four years in the
white house was to his private
honor and country's interest. No
public or private scandal marred
his record. No spitework was
manifested that his predecessors
record might be dimmed. All
diplomatic questions were handled
in dignified manner and not for
personal ends. Our country was
prosperous and manufacturers
smoke stacks were not sparrow
roosts. No panics prevailed, and
in every particular the country had
much to be thankful for. Flni ly,
at the end of his four years, demo-
cratic papers generally praised Mr..
Harrison's ability, character and
administration. If Mr.. Cleveland
succeeds in leaving behind as good
record the country can be con-
cratulated.-Salem Statesman.

WHAT FARMERS NEED.

When the farmers of the United
States fully understand that real
prosperity attends the "little farm
we'll tilled'' we shall see a larger
number of small farms. One of
our most successful truck farmers
(now retired money lender) had
only thirteen acres. He raised a
large family of children, giving to
one son a $4,000 farm and to an
other a $4,000 farm, and always
had good large bank deposit
and money out at interest, and all
from the cultivation of only thir-
teen acres. One year he sold
81, 100 worth of lettuce from one
acre of land. AS all the labor on
said acre was performed by mem
bers of the family, there was moth
ing to charge against the crop ex-
cept the seed and fertilizer, which
left nearly all the gross sales as
net profits. Suppose such a man
had attempted to cultivate 13O
acres instead of thirteen, where
would he be now? Surely not
lending money. His case illustrates
clearly the advantage of intensive
farming. In his case the number
of acres (thirteen) brought no bad
luck. If we can get four times
the present number of farmers at
work on the same number of acres
as are at present under cultivation
the prosperity of the farmer will
be assured. Of course, we know
there are sections of the country
where, from the nature of things,
the farms must be larger than at
other places. But if the old estates
of the South were cut up into iour,
six or even ten smaller farms, and
each subdivision occupied by a
good worker, we should speedily
see the southern wilderness bios
soming like the rose" The truck
ing sections of the south, as we'll as
those further north, have reached
the stage to show most clearly the
truth of the statement that the in
tensive farmer will be found doing
a successful business at the old
stand long after the extensive
neighbor has gone ssout' of the
work. Not more farmers, but
better, are now needed.-Country

A NATIONAL APPEAL.

The American protective tariff
league in special andsa aextraordi-
nary session on December 10th,
responding to the earnest request
of wage earners, UNANIMOUSLY
agreed that it was necessary to
call upon the press of the United
States to urge every patriotic citl-
zen to assist in defeating the pro-
posed Wilson free trade tariff:
which is now before congress. Ii
this measure becomes a law, the
demand for labor in all productive
employments in this country will
be decreased. This will reduce
the wages and earnings of every
man, woman or child among US:
permanently lower the standard
of living in this country; and, re-
duce the purchasing power of oul
wage earners who constitute the
great consuming force in this land
Every person, rich or poor, high
or low, old or young, who is moi
in favor of lower wages and less
comfort in life, should at once
write a postal card to the con
gresham from his or her district
protesting against the passage o1
This bill, and demanding that the
Mckinley tariff he left unchanged
Write a postal card today, and
urge every friend of yours to dc
the same. Perhaps your effor
will defeat free trade and save
protection.

Americas Great Danger
AN ENGLISH COMMENTARY.

Said an eminent English scientist recently: {:
"The danger that confronts the great Ameri-
ean people to-day is not the possible adop-
non of wrong financial policy for the
nation, OR the spread of socialism, or the
Increase of corruption among public men.
All these are bad enough, to be sure, but
they are as nothing compared to the terrible
national disease-I had almost said national
crime-of overwork. The mad rush for
wealth is set at killing pace, and thousands
fall by the way every year.
You are likely to be one of the victims

lion to find man or woman of adult age in

national committee, is in Washington
for the purpose of presiding at the
meeting of the executive committee,
to be held this week. The meeting
will not be public, but the princi pal
subject before it will he the congress
sional campaign of this year and the
establishment of permanent head
quarters. Speaking of the outlook
Mr.. Carter said: "I believe the pros
poets iJr al overwhelming republican
victory neva f Ill could not be brighter.
The democrats are manifesting their
entire and absolute inability to legis-
late inteiIicently for the business in
terests of the country, and the country
sees it now palmer than ever before"
Every intelligent democrat in congress
will admit iii private conversation that
he has abandoned hope of retaining
control of the next house, and it is
just because they have abandoned hope
that some Of them have grown SO reck
less in regard to what the public thinks
of some of the proposed legislation by
the present congress.
OF all the fzzles that alleged demo-
cratic caucus on the tariff was about
the worst seen in Washington. In the
first place enough democrats stayed
away to control the house with the
help of the solid republican vote, even
if the caucus had really intended to
get down to business, which it did not.
| Speaker Crisp's resolution which was
adopted amounted to exactly nothing,
and that was what it was intended to
amount to. Chairman Wilson did not
dare to offer resolution endorsing
the Cleveland tariff bill, fearing that
it would be voted down. The speech
made by Speaker Crisp was peculiar
one. While pretending to favor Mr.
Cleveland and his tariff bill he specif.
ically encouraged the dissatisfied dem-
ocrats and invited them to state theil
objections on the hoor of the house,
and then to vote against the hill il
those objections could not be over
come The dissatisfied democrats ap-
pear to tillnt that breaking a quorum
is much better way to bring about
what they want.

COMING ELECTIONS.

Chairman Garter of the national
republican committee has said that
in his opinion the campaign of
1896 will be fought on substantially
the same issues as those on which
the two great parties divided in
1892. The republicans will ask
the people of the United States
what they think of the free trade
policy of the democratic party in
the light of the experiences en-
dured, and will take their judg-
ment at the polls.
This is, of course, the obvious
thing, but it will not be necessary
to wait until 1896 to obtain the
popular verdict. In November OF
the present year there is to be
elected a new house of representa-
tives, and the issue between free
trade and protection may be made
as squarely and directly then as
to wait until the presidential elec,
ton two years later. 1t is con-
gress, not the president, that
makes the laws that govern the
country, and even Grover Cleve
land, with all his autocratic no.
tions, has not succeeded in doing
away entirely with the Legislative
department of the government OF
the United States.
Several democratic congressmer
who are at present inclined to fol
low the dictations of their con
science, have threatened to vote
lagainst the tariff measure in it:
present form for the reason that i
does not sufficiently protect the
Interests of their constituents
Possibly they may change thei
minds under the influence of th'
party whip; but if they can MAKE
combinations with members from
other states whose particular inter
ests or those of their constituent
are also threatened, the Wilson
bill may not be able to rally to it
support vote sufficient to carry
through the house, to say NOTHING
of the senate.
| There has seldom, if ever, beel
a more important election in tn
limited States than the congres
lsional election of 1894. The is
lsue of free trade against protec
ton cannot be marked any longe
as tariff revision. The fight mus
| be open and above board, ant
Ibecause it must the party of fire.
trade is very timorous at the pres
lent time. If it adopt the Wilson
| bill it is fearful of the results
mot, its failure is confession G
weakness. The election of 1S9
is quite as pregnant with great re
suits as the presidential election c
1886.

The year closes with record OF
financial disaster such as has not
been known for many a decade.
R. q. Dun & Co., in their weekly
Review of Trade, paint a dismal
picture of the business of the past
twelve months. The year opened
in an auspicious manner, and there
were strong hopes of successful
business, but 1898 closes with a
heavy record of failures and a de
pressed state of trade. Only once
in thirty seven years have failures
been SO numerous as the past year
This is not a cheerful exhibit, and
the efforts making in congress to
disturb the tariff, the banking sys-
tenn and taxation will not have a
tendency. to improve matters
These are indeed the Cleveland
times that were sought, and those
who tried to stave them off must
suffer with those who voted to
bring them on.

JOHN HYDE, expert special agent
of statistics of agriculture, has
written an interesting monogram
that he terms Geographical Con
centration." In it he develops
the fact that the process of agri-
cultural Capitalization works very
injuriously to the American
farmer, and that many of his vicis
situdes are due to the single-crop
system. He shows, for instance.
that while hemp is a product cul-
tivated in Europe from the shores
of the White Sea to the Mediter-
ranian, and that it f1ourishes in ex
tensive regions In Asia, Africa and
South America, its cultivation in
the United States is almost wholly
confined to Kentucky, that state
in 1889 having produced 93.77 per
cent. of all the hemp raised in this
country. Obviously hemp is cap
able OF being produced over wide
area in the United States, but its
cultivation is almost wholly un-
known outside of Kentucky. Mr..
Hyde makes a strong plea for
mixed farming, and says that so
long as American farmers persist
in devoting themselves to the
production in great quantities of a
few things, they cannot expect to
prosper.

A GOOD many democrats are
getting their eyes opened now.
One of the most striking instances
of complete change of front is
that of Mr.. Robert Blake, the big
wooden manufacturer of Massachu-
setts, who was an ardent supporter
of Mr.. Cleveland in 1892, and
prominent in the ranks Of
low tariff advocates. His
eyes are opened now how
ever, and he comes out in manly
letter to the Boston Herald
acknowledging his error and
openly opposes the Wilson bill as
a measure dangerous to American
interests. The democrats have
always said that the manufacturers
wanted free wool. The fact is
neither the wool grower, the WOO
buyer, or the woolen manufacturer
wants free wool. Nobody wants
free wool but the foreigners
nabobs and the enemies of Amer
lea.
