STATISTICS illustrating the growth
of trade relations between the United
States and Canada have been trans
mitted to the Senate by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury. The statistics,
which have been prepared by both
the United States and Canadian au-
thorities, cover period OF seventy
three years, from 1921 to 1898, in
elusive The figures given show,
among other things, that the exports
Of merchandise in 1921 from the
United States to Canada amounted to
So, Ol4,520, and the imports from that
country to the United States to $4l4,-
500. In 1893, on the other hand, the
exports amounted to 1924, 1888, 4S2, and
the imports to $22, 1OS,91 The to-
tai of exports for the seventy three
years covered by the statistics was
81, 467, 1850, 1924, and total of the i'm
ports amounted to 81, 300, 057, 70S.

A WESTERN exchange says that
Iowa farmers during the past few
years have found clover seed their
most paying crop some receiving
more for the seed per acre than the
land itself cost. At this rate it pays
better to raise clover for seed than for
any other purpose, and the seed is a
better crop than anything else the
farmer can raise. There are very few
articles which will pay as much as the
land is worth, and clover seed will
not do this when farmers generally
raise IT,

THERE is bright prospect ahead
for the farmers Of the nation. Crops
are reported as being in good condi-
tion from nearly every section of the
country This means that the farmer
will have his full share of whatever
good comes to us in this year, and
will not have reason for complaint
all things considered. Even though
prices rule low, there will be bread
to eat and clothes to wear for all
who till the soil. This we have to
be thankful for, and it is great deal.

PITTsBURG DISPATCH: A novelty
in the Matching of eggs has APP
peared in the shape Of an cleo
trio incubator. The special feature
of this machine is that the heat of
the egg drawer is automatically regu-
lated to the tlftieth part of degree
Fahrenheit. 1t consists OF tank
incubator, heated by radiation from
the bottom Of a water tank, which is
constructed on the multitubular sys-
TEN. When the egg drawer reaches
the temperature of 1O4 degrees
Fahrenheit an electro thermostat
connects up dry battery with an
electromagnetic, which actuates a
damper, allowing the heat to escape
though the open air instead of pass
ing through the flues of the water
tank. This entirely automatic de-
vice is said to effect a saving of 30
per cent. in the fuel used for heating.

AT the agriculture experiment sta

AT the agriculture experiment. sta
tion of Maine State College, observa-
tions covering the period Of growth
of four years have shown that the
excess Of moisture in forest above
that of open field averages 10 per
cent, reaching IA per cent. in the
middle Of the day. The excess would
undoubtedly be greater in very
dense forest. The presence of
patches of forest in any region exerts
marked influence on the Microscopic
conditions Of the atmosphere, and
this condition, in turn, is an import
ant factor in the growth of vegeta-
tion.

A DYNAMITE mine was discovered
under the track of the railway over
which the Gar was to travel to the
maneuvers of the Russian army. The
incident causes little surprise. 1t is
only when no mines are discovered
along the line of contemplated travel
by the Russian monarch that people
have reason to wonder what is the
matter with the Russian people.

SAID HE WAS NO DEMOCRAT

Captain Samuel Bass, leading dem
ocrat of Whatcom county, frees his mind
after this fashion:
''Mr. Charles De France, secretary
democratic state central committee
Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your favor
requesting me to write to Henry Drum
and others my opinion as to the time
and place of holding the next state con-
vention, and inviting me also to make
such other recommendations as may sug-
gest themselves to my mind as helpful
to the cause of democracy etc.
''It strikes me that your letter, SO far
as am personally concerned, is rather
an astonishing exhibition of gall, in view
of the fact that the first time / had anv
talk with you about politics you told me
you knew more about the political stu
alton in Whatcom county than I did,
and the next time you had the impu-
dence to tell me that I was no democrat,
although was helping to fight the
battles of democracy when you and
Wallace and Drum were wearing breech-
clouts; and long before trickery, disre-
gard for principles and pledges and for
party fealty, were considered the
primary qualifications for party leader
ship in this state, and especially in this
county.
eff you don't consider me democrat
why do you want my opinion? Why
don't you ask some tin horn gambler or
some shyster judge2 They are the sort
of people who seem to have the most in
fiuence with the party organization in
this state, and, I am sorry to say, with
the administration, also.
Gas far as the next convention is con-
cerned don't care where it is held.
To accommodate the class of democrats
who seem to be running the machine
now 1T might be good idea to have it
in hi, but wherever it is 1 will try to
be there, and if the privilege of free
speech is not overridden may then ex-
press my opinion as to what would be
helpful to the cause of democracy and
to the principles have supported for
more than 40 years.

NOT 4 LAW YET.


Yesterday the no longer terrified de-
mocracy of the house met in caucus and
decided to surrender to the senate, to
accept the senate bill. Before the vote
was taken, Mr.. Wilson, author of the
bill, made the statement that he had
SO firm hold on the senate, and was so
certain that the house would be forced
to accept the senate bill, that it had
purchased sugar of the value of $112, ,000.-
900. That if the senate bill passes, the
tariff imposed by it would give the
sugar trust clear profit of $40, 900, 900.
Yet in the face of this both Wilson and
Crisp, the speaker of the house, advised
surrender. Advised giving the sugar
trust $40, ,000, 200 of the peoples money
at the dictation of German. Time was
when an American congressman would
have rotted in his seat before he would
have submitted to tyranny; when the
house was jealous of its prerogatives and
would have resisted to the death the at
tempt of the senate to originate bill
for raising revenue. That time seems
to be passed. The senate first sub
mitted to German, and now the house
submitting to the senate does the same
thing.
The mongrel mixture OF free trade
and high, and distinctively protective
tariff ideas of the bill as it now exists
is neither the creation of the house
nor senate. It is the handiwork of
German. 1t is one mans bill, and that
man an admitted mouthpiece and repre-
sentative of the sugar trust. So when
the matter is traced back to first cause,
the bill is that of Havemeyer and the
sugar trust
German has whipped the senate in,
and he has scourged the house into sub
mission. There remains but one other
castigatory operation to complete the
business. The president remains to be
conquered, and we fancy that even the
strong arm of German will fail to bring
him into the traces. The senate raised
an immortal howl because the president
wrote a letter to Mr.. Wilson expressing
his views on the question. The claim
was made that he was trying to dictate
to the senate and to the house. Yet at
the same time the sugar trust has die
tated to both bodies through its hench-
man, German. President Cleveland is
not, or at least has not been given to
submitting to anybody. He has said
that the senate bill was combination
of f'perfidy and dishonor.' That he
will become party to those crimes does
not seem reasonable. His reputation is
made, he has nothing to gain further
from the democratic party, and he has
everything to lose by any act that may
detract from his well-earned reputation
for truth and uprightness.
The German bill is not yet the law OF
the land.
