Revival Statistics.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat did
a notable thing Sunday. 1t published
two pages of statistics on results of
revivals held in Missouri, Kansas,
Illinois, Texas and Arkansas since
Sept. as nearly ~ they could be
secured on short notice by special cor
respondents.
These show that in lit counties of
States named there have been during
the past Ave months So, 99l conversions
and 40 .OlO accessions to the churches.
OF the total, sixty one counties In
Missouri report 20 ,2ie conversions and
1901 additions to the churches; fifty
one counties in Illinois, 1882 CONVEX
sions and lA,247 additions, thirty two

counties in Kansas, 1914 conversions
1927 additions; twenty three counties
in Texas, ZOO conversions and 7345
additions; ten counties in Arkansas,
2249 conversions and 2l20 additions
The average per county, it will be
noticed, is IN the neighbOrhood Of 300
in all Of the States.
The report of conversions for Dickin-
son county furnished by the ministers
as nearly as could be estimated may
not be exact in all instances and many
Of the figures have been increased in
the past week but they show over 700
progressed conversions in Dickinson
county in the past five months.
Such a showing is something that
should go a good ways toward correct
ing the impression that many seem to
hold that the power of the Gospel OF
Christ is waning, 1t proves too that
a great harvest is ripe right here at
home in these western States and only
needs effort on the part Of Christian
people to gather 1t. Until 1t 10 garner
ed they are entirely justified in allow
ing the dwellers along the Congo, the
Ganges aud the Hoangho to work
Out their own salvation.

Wilson Bill Passed.

The infamy Ia accomplished. So far
~ the Democrats aud Populisis Of the
popular branch Of congress can curtail
the wages Of the laboring man and
destroy the market in which the Kan
sas farmer sells 05 per cent Of his farm
products ia concerned, they have done
what they could. 1t Is killing the
goose that lays the golden egg, but
blind Ignorance and blind partisanship
have done their work and the people will
suffer. Whether the senate will COM
summate the entire destruction Of
American wages and American mar
kets by endorsing the Wilson iniquity
remains IN be seen.

How Tariff Affscts the Farmer

The Wilson bill hns passed the house |
but that does not lessen its iniquty or
weaken the force of some Of the
speeches made against 1t. One OF the
best and most telling arguments was
made by Hon. Charles Curtis, the
brilliant representative from the
Fourth Kansas district. He made this
striking illustration Of the effect Of
protection on the Kansas farmer
"Cattle raising is one of the greatest
industries in this country, and the
farmers and stockmen who are engaged
in 1t are entitled to such protection rs
will give them the American market
for cattle and their product We have
in the State Of Kansas 1855 ,Bl6 head
Of cattle, and Of course are interested
In this question. In 1872 hides were
put on the free list In hopes that the
people would be furnished with
cheaper boots, shoes and leather
While there has been some reduction
In price 10 these articles, yet 1t is
mostly due to improved machinery and
compositions; but there has not been a
sufficient reduction in price to justify
the further keeping Of hides upon the
free list. There was time when II
paid the farmer and stockman to take
hides to market for sale, but now II
Pays but little IL anything.
"Yeafs ago the COW or steer that died
from the effects of the western bliz-
zard was not total loss, for the hides
were worth something; but now It does
not pay for the skinniDg and hauling
to market; yet IL you look at the list Of
articles imported free OF duty you will
lnd that in the last seven years We
have imported hides and skins, other
than fur skins, Of the value Of Sl7o,-
III, 739, or of the yearly average value
Of S25. 1853 982, and the amount is in
creasing every year. The farmers and
stock raisers would be glad to see u
duty placed upon hides, and there
should be one.
I'VE have imported fewer horses
since the duty was increased by the
act Of 1890, as is shown by the follow
ing: We imported horses of the value
Of 81 ,s6s S82 in 1850, a.. SAC. 4h5 In
1890, 1926, 1854 IN 1891, S2,455, s0S in
1892, and $2,3ss 287 in 1893. When
horses are decreasing in value; when
the farmers are anxious to obtain u
market for the few they have; WHEN
the use Of the electric and cable car
lines Is decreasing the demand for
them, this is too great value to i'm
port. The farmers of Kansas who own
1000, 59i head of horses would be
pleased for opportunity to supply some
Of the demands that are filed by the
importer. In justice TO the farmers
the duty should be 80 fixed on all
horses, except those imported for
breeding purposes, as to allow them to
supply the demand.
"A comparison OF the amount of
eggs imported few years before 1890
with these imported since will show
what benefit the pl icing of n duty
upon eggs has b-en to the farmers
The following figures speak for them.

1922 2lo, and in 1893 of the value Of
$500, 973."

TELEPHONES " TROLLEY CARS.

 n.l

superintendent Criily of the Hartford Street
 Hallway Has a scheme.
 Superintendent Crllly of the Hartford Street Railway company is the author of novel scheme. He was talking with an electrical expert last night md asked If 1t would be possible to have telephones on the trolley cars supplied with the same current that furnishes the power for the cars. Ills idea was to have an arrangement by which people going to Hartford by any of the suburban lines could communi- cate with people in that city. make an appointment. etc.
 The expert said the power current Is much stronger than that used in the telephone service that the thing could be done in two ways. One way would be to have specially constructed tele- phones, strong enough to stand the heavy current. On account of the diff ference in the currents these telephones could not be connected with the tele- phones of the Southern New England Telephone company. A man could be kept at the central power station of the street railway company to take these messages and then communicate with telephone central through another tele- phone.
 Another plan would be to have trans formers put in the cars and at the pow CT station to modify the current before 1t gets to the phones. With these ordi- nary phones could be used and direct made through the telephone central with the person to whom 1t is desired to talk. Either of the two plans would be expensive, but with pay sta tions In the cars the latter might be made feasible and profitable to all con- cerned. ~,; t-<
