has precipitated the present crisis with
China. For cen uries tine King of Korea
has been the acknowledged vas.al of the
Emperor Of China. The natural beauties
of tie land are offse; by the depiorabIy bad
government The people are overbur1en.
Ell witt taxes and abe civil service is pat
termed after the inefficient and corrupt sys-

volts are frequent. Tne immediate effect
Of the acquisition Of Korea by Japan would
be an expansion of British commerce,
while, on The other hand, is rete rion by
China would mean narrowing of indusi-
ry. l's control by Russia would mean
commercial exclusion.

The Democrat.
The New Tariff And business.

The first effect of the Democratic tariff
is seen In the immediate reports of reviv-
ing business, The uncertainty under
which the country has suffered since the
election of Cleveland, as to what the duties
would be. has kept manufacturers down to
the current demand for products, and every
industry in any degree affected by the tar
III has been conducted on hand to mouth
basis. Now the manufacturers know just
where they stand, the importers know
what they will have to pay for their goods,
and traders of all kinds are permitted to
plan for the future. From the stock mar
kets, the commercial markets and the
manufacturing cities come tidings of stim-
ulated business, even before the new Tariff
bill has been signed by the President.
Whether we are TO have rest from acute
tariff agitation depends on the bene6ciaries
of protection. They might have escaped
with the Mills bill had not their greed
moved them to oppose any and all inter
ferance with their privileges. Now they
have to accept much more radical meas
ure. If they have learned the lesson of the
past six years, they will refrain from pro-
voking another general tariff bill by ac-
quiescing in such reductions in detail as
are sure to be made from time to time.
But if they persist in combining in trusts
TO extract the last dollar possible from the
people, and show their teeth at every effort
to legislate in the interest of the consumer,
there will inevitably be such pruning Of
the protective parts of the new tariff as
will strip the last vestige of protection
from the statute. The more they fight the
worse they will be off, for the people will
not in this generation take a backward
step toward McKinleyism.
That in any event there viii be contin-
uous tariff changes is understood. The
principle Of duties for revenue only will be
ultimately applied. But the work will be
done gradually if the protected industries
comport themselves with discretion. The
need for revenue will tend to stay the alter
ing hand.
As for the trusts, they must be wipes
out, revenue or no revenue. Continuing
the existence of these grasping and cor
rupting combinations is too high a price +

General Crop Outlook.

There is no longer any doubt about a
great shortage in the corn crop. Early
corn will not be above quarter crop while
late corn, which constitutes about one
quarter of the crop, will be almost total
failure. The extent of the shortage is not
yet known TO a certainty, but ii is certain
to run up into the millions Of bushels.
The government report issued Friday, esti-
mates the crop at about SO per cent, but
this Is up to August lst, since which hot
winds and drought have wrought great
damage. While reliable up TO the date
of estimates the governments figures are
not at this time even approximately accu-
rate. II is safe to say that the corn crop
at best will fall below 50 per cent, There
is some consolation that while our crops
are short the foreign crop is larger than it
has been for years. The London Times
estimates the United Kingdom barley crop
at 76, ,296, 900 bushels against 65, 745, 900
last year. The oat crop at AZ bushels per
acre with a total yield of $4,000, 900
against 16S, 900, 900 last year. The wheat
crop is estimated at s7,0oo.000 bushels. a
large increase over last year. France re-
ports excellent crops, and reports from
Russia, Hungary and Germany are to the
effect that the yield is above the average.
Austria. Bulgaria and Sweden rerort a
shortage in the rye crop. The Atgentins
Republic, great grain producing country
has crop of 80, 100000 bushels of wheat
which is way above the domestic consump.
tion and leaves large volume fer export
from that country. Wheat is selling for
less than corr in the United States and
Europe and many farmers are feeding their
stock with it with quite satisfactory re-
suits. 1t is certain that the price of farm
products viii advance l.y reason of a fail
ure in the domestic crop. but the advanct
will be held within reasonable bounds by
the supply abroad available for export.

The sugar schedule in the new tariff bill
is bad enough-for the people. 1t Is TO be
regretted that the democrats were not
sufficiently strong enough in the senate TO
strike out the different;al duty placed in
the bill 10 protec. the sugar trust, but they
were net strong enough and that all there
is OF II. But there is much conso' alton in
the fact tha' the trust Goes not receive
nearly so much protection under this new
bill, as 1t did under the Mckinley law.
Under the Mckinley law 1t received 4

receive 16 cert pound, except when the

One OF the most interesting things
that have happened recently occurred
near Geneva, n Y. The participants
were the Rev Hector towan, Professor
OF Athletics and Instructor in Theology
at the University OF Kansas, formerly
renter rush OF Princeton football team,
and his brother, Henry. The Rev MIR
Cowan 'Ids been spending his summer
vacation at the family homestead, and
in the vicinity there OF late have been
numerous burglaries, and in consequence,
every one has been on the lookout for
thieves. Prof Cowan occupies bedroom
on the lower floor. His brother, who IL
also q stalwart fellow weighing 200
pounds, sleeps on the second floor Each
was awakened by sound which seemed
to come from the opening OF a window on
the veranda roof. Each started to investi-
gate IL. Henry was the first in the room
whence the noise seemed 10 come, and,
on bis hands and knees, he WAS cautious
ly working his way up TO the window,
when suddenly he was ponneed upon by
the Rev Hector, who had stolen up
noiselessly behind and mistook Henry
for burglar. Henry ,on his side, ,thonght
that the Rev Hector was burglar. The
room WAS dark, and tremendous
struggle for mastery began. Tie brothers
rolled over and yer on the floor, SMASH
ing furniture and upsettipg stands. First
one would be on top only TO be kicked
against the wall by the other. They
choked ard hammered each other until
they clinched by final fall near the
window. and then 10y the dim outside
| light they recognized each other. When
light was brought and the now thor
oughly aroused househrld looked at the
wrecked room and the battered all letes,
/ there was hearty laugh all around, and
any amount OF ridicule was heaped upon
the mistaken combatants by the inmates
OF tn. household. The brothers were
laid up with their bruises and stiffness
the next day.
