Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1894-03-16

IT is reported that farmers in the
southern part of the state are preparing
to do their spring blowing. In other
parts Of the state, the time for the put
ting in of crops is not far away, and a
few weeks more will see farming opera
tions in the state in full blast. It is
safe to say that a decided change in the
kind of crops which are put in, will be
noticeable. Wheat will be planted, as
usual, but not to the exclusion of other
grains and products, as a been the
case in some previous years. The pru-
dent farmer will not again put all
of his eggs in one basket. He
will protect himself against a failure of
his wheat crop by diversifying his crop.
He will look to other products than
wheat alone. He will raise potatoes, or
beans, or flax, or numerous of the other
products for which there is always a de-
mand. He will also look to the dairy
ing part of his operations as a source of
revenue. There are various and varied
ways of escaping the consequence of a
failure in wheat crop, or a slump in price,
Diversity has been agitated to good pur-
pose in the state, and it is safe to say it's
beneficial results will be evident next
fall and winter.

In the flight of time,o Queen L~ilietcete,

In the flight of time,Q Queen Lilietcetera
seems to have forgotten her former de-
sire to decapitate the officials of the pro-
visional government both officially and
physically, and in an interview granted
the New York Herald, she says: "You
may say that we are deeply sorry on &C.
count of our patient native people, many
of whom have lost employment by the
overthrow. If anything grieves us
sorely, more sorely than our own annoy
ance, it is their distress. Their devotion
has been SO marked during our trouble
that we are most grateful. They
are, of course, very anxious about their
liberties, for I assure you that the
Hawaiians love their country. I may
say I believe they are as patriotic as M
people in the world. Our subjects are
probably more patient than any other
people IN the world, and, for that matter
we have %counseled them to be peaceful
and await results" It is highly prob
able that the only person who has lost
employment by the overthrow is Lii,
herself. Still, it is pleasing to note that
the queen takes matters philosophically,
and is not now inclined to behead all
who participated in the revolution.

HENRY CLEws weekly review of bust
ness says that to close watchers. the pro-
cess of relief has been in various WAYS
observable since the opening of the year.;
but not until now has the change reached
a point of development at which all
recognize it. In trade at large, the i'm
provement has now become a commonly
admitted fact. In many branches, the
demand for goods is plainly ahead Of the
supply. The reduction of stocks, caused
by The interruption of manufacturing.
and the extraordinary falling off in i'm
ports, begins to show it's effects upon
prices; and that proves an important
stimulus to buying and to confidence.
Under these conditions and in view Of
the near approach to the final determine
ton OF the . tariff duties, business
has gained a much more stable basis of
confidence, and the country may be re-
garded as being fairly on the way towards
a steady return to a normal condition.
The main local symptoms of the week
have been the sudden development of
Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1894-03-16

as reported to the senate finance COM
mittee proves that there is a wide differ
ence of opinion among them, as to the
tariff. They are not agreed upon the
matters in hand, but felt it necessary to
effect a compromise of some sort, in or
der to secure the passage of a new tariff
bill. Accordingly it is to be expected
that should the bill be passed, those
members Of the party to whom parts of
it are 10Y Objectionable, will be ever
alert for an oppo tunity to effect the
changes they wish made. Instead of
tariff tinkering being ended, it will have
just begun. So long as the democrats
have control Of the legislative branches
of the government, there will be one
continuous round Of tariff changes. It
is admitted that uncertainty Is fatal to a
sound sbasis of business, and it cannot
but be admitted that the enmity Of GER
tain democratic leaders to the Wilson
bill, will tend to render certain tariffs
uncertain. About tine best thing
the democrats can do is to defeat the
Wilson bill and then leave the tariff
alone.
