Indications of Success full Rivalry OBJ
served in Other Countries.
The rapid advances made by the agri
culturists of other countries, both in
the matter of production and the facil
tiles for marketing it, are watched with
deep concern by the officials of the ag-
ricultural department. Secretary Nor
ton said recently: 1T looks as if the
farmer of all the big producing coun
tries is trying to shut out his America n
brother. The agent of the Mccormick
Harvesting company, now in Russia,
gentlemen of intelligence and expert
ence, writes me that he has seen crops
of seventy five and one hundred bush
els of wheat to the acre thrashed out
there What would we think of such
yields here?
And see what Argentina is doing. A
report, dated July II, comes from
Buenos Ayres, stating that upon the
basis of the figures for the first six
months of this year the Argentine Re-
public will send in 1895 two hundred
and sixty thousand head of beef cattle
alone to Europe. Accompanying this
was photograph of a scene three hum
dred miles inland of an ocean-going
vessel lying alongside an elevator and
being loaded with wheat that grew on
the other side of the elevator, stacks of
grain being shown in the picture. Alb
solu tely no land carriage at all. When
our wheat reaches the sea board, or
point at which it can be loaded on YES
sells, pretty penny has been added to
the cost of production in the freight
paid for its transportation. Only to-
day. Mr.. Featherstone, member of
the Union club, Sydney, Australia, was
here and told me he had just completed
arrangements for shipping dressed beef
from that country to London, with the
privilege of thirty days storage in cold
storage warehouses on arrival, at one
and one half cents a pound for the
whole transaction. We may have to
repeat LIE Dues tea farm experiments,
if what McCormick's man says is true,
that if tea is being successfully grown
about Odessa, Russia, he don't see why
it can't be made to grow in South Car

TEEY REGrH TO SQUIRE.

The look OF public censure always makes
the gaEty squirTn. and the attempt Of the
outlaw managers TO boycott The Times
is evidence that their dispputable enter
prise is losing the patronage of people
who dislike 10 be plucked.
The claim that their plundering insti-
tuition brings money to Washington is TO an
extent true, but how much does il take
away, and what class OF victims suffermost
from the skin games OF that so called
sporting resort? What parent would
like TO have his son frequent such a
place, and where Is tie employer who
could repose confidence in clerk who
gambied his earnings with such gang?
The Times bears no malice toward the
Alexander Island outlaw track. 1t has
no vengeance TO wTeak nor pique to crafty.
But it Is opposed TO all forms Of lawlessness
and is endeavoring 10 protect the public
from a dangerous swindling set of men.
And the wriggling OF the rogues shows that
its efforts have not been in vain
Lei any reputable citizen answer If The
Times is not right. Let any law abiding
person say if the outlaw track is not dis
grace 10 respectable community. Let
the general public reply which is most bene-
ficial, tie money spent in Washington hy

HOW WILL END

The pending decision OF the Supreme
Court on the constitutionality of the in
Eome tax is looked for with considerable
anxiety. If decided adversely it will
be victory for capital, and if sustained
the principle Of self government viii be
vindicated.
Unless Congress has the power to levy
taxes 10 suit emergencies there can be
no such thing as a popular representative
government.
The right to say what shall he taxed,
how the tax shall be levied and what its
amount shall be should belong to the people.
Their representatives in Congress must
be empowered TO raise revenues or the
government cannot continue. And as their
authority to create laws cannot be ex-
seeded. il must be admitted that if necessity
demands they have the right to tax how
and where they elect
If the decision is against the income tax,
Congress and the Supreme Court viii, in
future, be arayed against each other on
this question. One viii represent the peo-
pie: the other voice the VIII OF capital,
Congress VIII levy taxes in accordance with
its const itutiOnaI right to collect revenues
and disburse expenditures: and the Supreme
Court viii attempt to obstruet and inyali-
date such legislation. 1t viii be the be-
ginning OF a struggle between the public
and capnalistic influence. In the end
the public must win, for even the Supreme
Court owes ITS organization to the public.

Banquet and Semi.aunual Election of
Officers ar Pages Hotel
That clever set OF literateurs known as
the lad WRITERS of Washington, took a
night off and made merry last evening at
Pages
AS very few people can write an attract
i've ad, this guild is small in numbers and,
therefore, select as to themselves and all
their undertakings. This was especially the
fact as 10 the banquet, with which they
regaled themselves in one of Pages cosy
private dining rooms.
The table was prettily decorated and
the spread was ample elegant in appoint
ment and service, and appetiZing to the re-
quined degree.
Around the board were Messrs. Isaac
Cans, W. q. Kent, S. NJ. Goldsmith,
Frank Pierce, Gus Nordlinger, George
a. Lewis, F. NJ. c. Smith and Albert C.
Shaffer.
The speeches were all in the conversa-
tional style Ad. writers are not at their
best as orators but as men mighty with
the pen and pencil.
The business OF the evening included an
election OF officers, which resulted as fol-
lows: President, Isaac Cans; Vice Pres
ident, w. G. Kent; Secretary, Frank Pierce;
Treasurer, Gus Nordlinger. The officers
of the ad-writers hold their positions for
six months. They both preach and practice
the Jeffersonian policy of rotation in
office.
The association was its own committee of
arrangements with Mr. Goldsmith as chair
man, and everything went off as precisely
and pleasantly as if it had been printed
in display type, with a sketch, and top o.
the column on the first page.
