The American Farmer.
The Oldest Agricultural Paper in
America.
Published at 1879 New York
Avenue, Washington, D. G.
Price, only so Cents a Year.

THE AMERICAN FARMER is q great Ma
tional agricultural paper. It circulates in
every part of the country, and represents the
interests of all the farmers in the Nation.
Being located at the seat of Government
and the only agricultural paper that is
1t has special facilities for getting informa-
ton of real interest To all farmers of all that
goes on affecting them in Congress, or In
any of the Departments of the Governments.
This will be OF particular importance to all
farmers this Winter, when there will be a
prolonged and bitter struggle IN Congress
over the policy Of protecting farm products.
THE AMERICAN FARMER is on the side of
the farmers, and bitterly hostile to the an
nounced program of placing wool on the
free list and reducing the duties on other
agricultural products. 1t denouuces this as
making the farmers bear the greatest part OF
the weight Of the alleged tariff reform, and
protests against this sacrifice of the farmers
in favor OF other interests. Every one who
favors justice and right 10 farmers and
not political buncombe, should rally TO
its support and give it the utmost strength
by doing what they can to extend its circula-
ton.
Now is the time to do this. before Con-
gress takes up the wool and farm ny products
schedules.
The paper is large eight-page quartO,
printed in large type, on fine white paper,
and plentifulIy illustrated. 1t is filled with
matter of great practical interest to all
farmers.
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE will be sent
with The american Farmer for one year for

WE want our readers to bear in mind that
long ago we predicted the time to be near
at hand when gold will become relatively
more plentiful than silver. The figures OF
the worlds production of gold for 1893 shou
how rapidly we are nearing realiz ttion o
that prophecy. 1t seems likely now thai
the sum total of the gold brought out las
year will reach $50, 000,0O0 which is a gain
OF $l20 600 over the production for 1892,
and exceeds even the palmy days of the fir,t
discoveries in California and Australia III
this country we increased the production
from $33 ,00O,0 900 to $37 900, 600, of which
increase 100000 was in Colorado alone
South Africa came up with bound, with
about $50 DOC, COO, aud Russia and Australia
more than held their own. If cheap pre-
cess is developed of extracting the metal
from the boundless goldfe on the casters,
slope of the Aleganiesy from New York to
Alabama, we shall have gold output tina
will put to the blush the bonanza years OF
silver mining.

THE japanese and Chinese on the Ha-
waiian Islands are beginning to wake up to
the situation, and to talk pretty strongly
about having their Governments assert force
to secure the control of the Islands by the
majority OF the actual residents. If the
matter is determined by count of noses the
japanese would probably have it, with the
Chinese playing good second. The Japs
have kept gunboat at the Islands from the
first, and if the Mkado should announce
some fine morning that he was going to sup
port his subjects in their natural rights
of governing the Islands, we wonder what
this Administration would have to say
about it. 1t has left US no good ground for
resisting such claim.

IT is none of our fght-nOt in the least
but we certainly feel that Mr.. Bland had a
good reason for saying pretty harsh things
about hiscolleagues. They urged him and the
other silver advocates to submit to the sun-
conditional repeal of the so-called Sherman
Act promising that if this were allowed to
go through without single compromise or
reservation, they would take up silver as an
independent proposition and IDEAL with it
literally and justly" The conviction is now
forced upon him that they were deliberately
deceiving him, and no wonder he filings
epitaphs at EN-" as Mrs. Darlington would
say.

THE HAWAIIAN REPORT.

The full and fairly taken evidence brought
out by the Senate Committee on Foreign
Affairs has produced its effect upon that
body. Such disgracsfully cuckooish resolu-
ton as that passed by the House will be inn
possible in the Senate. The majority of the
eommittee-Senator Morgan, of Alabama,
Chairman, and Democrat, and Senators
Sherman, Frye, Dolph, and Davis, Republic
cans-have presented report in which the
whole matter is extensively reviewed, the
Presidents position controverted, and Min
i,ter Stevens's course justified, excepting his
declaration of protectorate.
The Republican Senators qualify their
signature to this by supplementary state
ment in which they condemn the appoint
ment of Blount as unconstitutional, the
placing of the naval forces under his control
as unlawful, his order to Admiral Skerrett
to lower the flag us an act of unfriendliness
to the Provisional Government, and the in
tercourss of Blount and Willis with the
deposed Queen as violation of international
law. They also say the President had no
right TO reopen the question of the legality
of the Provisional Government.
The minority report, signed by Senators
Butler, Daniel, Turpie, and Gray, biames
Minister Stevens for inopportune zeal" in
the matter of annexation, and says that he
aided and abetted the revolution, and is
deserving of censure.
Senators Butler and Turpie file supple
mentary note, in which they say they are
heartily in favor of annexation of the
islands, but that they did not think this
matter was properly before the committee
for consideration.
This gives strong hopes that the Senate
will save the country from the humiliation
of seeing Congressional action take the
shame VI lines laid down by the McCreary
resolution. 1t is to be hoped that the ma
jority report win be adopted, substantially
as made.

Chicago is clearly shown by the returns of
the real estate valuation of the city. In
1870 the aggregate valuation of the real
estate averaged $72l per head of population.
In 1893, though the real estate had increased
enormously in value, the average per head
was only 1926. Think of what vast por-
ton of the people have absolutely no prop
cry interests whatever in the great city.

THE world moves, after all, even down.
South The Military Board of Virginia has
at last decided to change the color of the
uniforms from gray to blue. This is not
done for any patriotic reasons, nor even for
those of uniformity with the United States
regulations, but because blue is cheaper
than gray, and does not soil so readily.
There is much angry protesting by gentle
men whose daily tears keep green the grave
of the Lost Cause, and the Richmond Dis
pafct suggests rs a compromise that the
blue be reserved for the fatigue uniforms, to
do dirty work in, while the gray be retained
for parade and show. While the blue makes
the bandsomest of parade uniforms, it is also
we'll suited to dirty work 1t is the color
the men wore when doing the very dirty
work of putting down the Shareholders Re-
beilion.
