THE BIG CORN STORY.

Kansas seasons go in cycles, good,
bad and indifferent. We agree with
Swami in this. Besides experience
proves it to be true, not only Of Kansas.
but Of most other states.
1t is not true that this is the greatest
crop year Kansas ever saw. 1t is not
even true that it is the biggest corn
year. This year does not equal 1879.
1t falls away behind it in everything.
The big general crop Of this cycle may
be expected next season, 1896, and the
year following. With all the blowing.
wheat was a failure this year, oats not
what they might have been. and there
are districts and strips and spots
throughout the state where the corn
crop is short, in some instances a
failure. That there will be three hun
dred million bushels is probably true
There may be more. But the acreage
Is unexampled

victim from the baneful habit of in
toxication. and. it may be said, there
is as much real enthusiasm in the ranks
OF so called i-prOhibitionists as
among those who are clamorous for the
enforcement of the present law. Then
why should we differ as to the means
The advocates of this law say enforce
il because it is the law. Those who
believe the law to be impractical and
Intellectual oppose it because il has
been a failure wherever and whenever
attempted. 1t is the point of contact
the place where the law says you shall
not, and where the man says / will,
that failure comes. 1t is the simple
question of whether the edict does or
does not prohibit. The experiment has
been made under.many and varied con-
ditions. Delaware has tried il, Maine
has tried it, Iowa and Michigan have
both tried it, backed by strong pub
lie sentiment, and sustained by q
heavy voting majority. The result has
been that both Of the latter states have
found such laws Intellectual, and ma
joritieS have turned against them. In
the older states named it is practically
a dead letter. as we all know. Liquor
is sold and drunkenness prevails just
as in other states. Does precedent go
for anything? Is it of no value to
other states that these have made the
experiment and found it a failure?
Are we to continue the expensive show
of prosecuting offenders in Kansas
after fourteen years Of failure to stop
the traffic? In an ordinary business
matter we would say not. There are
plain business features in these prose-
cutions 10 the extent Of the costs, and
the taxpayers are bound to foot all
bills.
1t comes to this In the end: Does
the restraint 0pon the liquor business
in the state compensate the taxpayers
for the costs incurred? Does the one
conviction in twenty remunerate the
loss to the business Of the state? Is
the occasional Imprisonment Of a man
who would as soon lie in Jail as to
board at hotel, pay for the breaking
up of friendships, and the utter de-
moraliZatiOn OF social relations when
ever and wherever some enthusiast
takes it into his head that the drunk
ards appetite for liquor can be de-
stroyed by legal proceedings? Divided
as we are IN Sedgwick county into a
big majority who honestly believe the
law is a failure and a minority who
maintain that it is not, are we to go on
piling up costs and increasing our tax
burdens, in the attempt to do that
which repeated experiments have
shown to be failure?
1t is not our province to exercise the
functions Of g. teacher or a preacher,
but, touching the manner of regulat-
ing the drink habit reforming drunk
ards and saving the youth of our city
from contracting intemperate habits,
We sincerely believe that wives and
mothers can do more at the sacred
tribunal Of the family hearthstone than
all the courts, juries and prohibitory
statutes that we could hatch in a life
time. Precept, example and moral
suaSiOn will bring men to observe tenn
perate habits when sumptuary laws
only drive them to greater excesses.
AS we said in the outset, it is the man.
ner Of doing it, and not the thing to
be done, upon which we differ.

BEING RUINED.

There is not state in the Union in
which the tax returns do not show a
slump in values. This slump in the
property values Of the western and
southern states is enormous. This
state OF affairs cannot be laid at the
door Of free trade policy only in a
limited way. 1t is directly traceable
to the appreciation or increased pur-
chasing power of gold, such enhance
ment being directly traceable to the
destruction of the purchasing power of
silver through demonetization.
The Inter Ocean, in this connection,
takes up the tax returns Of Georgia,
showing that in three years the re-
turned values of that state have shrunk
$o0,477,767. The figures also appear in
the Atlanta Constitution, which paper
declares the decrease TO be attributable
to the results of the single gold stan
dard.
What is true of Georgia is true Of all
the other southern states. In Louis
lana the reduction of values in the last
year has been about $4,000, 900; in
Mississippi the finance committee of
the legislature estimates the decrease
in values at from 20 to 80 per cent; IN
South Carolina it is estimated at from
100000 to S5,OO0,00O, and in other
southern states the decrease has been
very great.
Free trade and money destruction
are playing havoc with all the farmer
owns and all he produces, and as the
western and southern states are almost
wholly agricultural they are being
ruined in the interest of the money cen
