FOURTH OF JULY CHRISTMAS.

| If today were but the Fourth of July,
| commemorative war, rather than
Christmas, commemorative Him who
| was for peace, how the feathers of the
| American eagle would fly. Still there
! is the declaration: Il came not 10
| bring peace but a sword" Notwith-
standing it is the blessed season of
peace. and that the guns and drums
will all be toys and but the mimicry of
war, yet the shades Of Cid Hickory in
his gallant stand against Britain in
1872, and Washington and his compa-
triOts and their suffering at Valley
Forge, viii be summoned up at mauy
an American freSide. The congress
OF the United States have foregone the
pleasures and comforts of their homes
under no ordinary national stress.
The American squadron which was to
have sailed away for southern waters
on Saturday last, has been ordered 10
remain in the North Atlantic. Esti-
mates of arsenalS and equipments. ca
pacities Of armor plate establishments
and of ship and navy yards are being
made and conclusions put down in
figures, and death-dealing implements
rather than peace factors are confront
ing the people.
The appointment Of the Venezuelan
commission will be the signal for war
preparations. 1t would be unwise, in
deed foolish, to send commission to
South America and then fail TO pre-
pare to enforce its findings. Every
consideration of prudence and patriot
ism would, in such an event, demand
that the United States prepare for the
worst. 1t would be the height of folly
to wait for verdict before putting
our army and navy into position 10
make such verdict effective
So the American Christmas of 1895
viii be in spirit a blending of the
Fourth of July.

THE HOGS OF COMMERCE.

| American agriculture today holds the
halfway position between prosperity
and poverty. There are potent reasons
prices. The worlds surplus is below
the average. The percentage Of con-
Sumers has been on the increase for
years, while that of the producing class
has been on the decline. The mobil-
| iZing and maintaining of immense
standing armies in Europe are the
| ever present reminder that war is i'm
minent, and that on the grandest scale
! the world has ever seen. Every day
| brings the crisis nearer, and some
authorities are fixing dates no farther
away than the coming spring. Should
such war occur, involving all civil
lied Europe, the demand for meat and
bread stuffs would be beyond the
brightest dream of the American
farmer. Prices would be out of sight,
and farming in this country would
once more pay profit But even in
the event of continued peace, prices
are abnormally low, and there are
causes for it, at least two Of which are
patent 10 every man with sufficient in
telligence to guide plow. When the
cost of carriage on corn to the central
markets is equal to the price paid the
producer, he knows it is too much. He
may not know that arbitrary and I'M
reasonable rates are the legitimate
fruit of watered stock. He may not
know that the fixers of these rates get
more for years service than he can
hope to accumulate in a life time, but
he can see that such charges put him
to great disadvantage in competing
with the few who happen to be near
the great markets. He may not know
the cost of construction, or the Operat-
ing expenses of a railroad, but the
stubborn fact comes home 10 him that
somehow the railway gets as much for
a twenty-four hours haul of his crop as
he realizes for a years hard work.
This same son of toll knows, TOO, that
money is scare. be reads in his coun-
" paper Of great quantities of capital
lying idle in the big money centers,
yes, and he is beginning to know the
causes leading TO this wholesale con-
centration of money. The farming
community is fully advised that it
comes Of a systematic attempt TO con-
tract the currency by demOnetiZing
half the coin money of this country.
He knows that, in so far as the total
currency of the country is based upon
gold alone, and that in limited supply,
its very scarcity places it at premium
over all other values. Just as the
value of gold increases, he sees his corn |
decline in an inverse ratio.
SO it is that the farmer fingers be- |
tween hope and despair. The worlds |
population must eat, and he looks for |
ward to each succeeding year when, |
from causes likely to arise, the price |
of his product will be higher But |
there is ever recurring some PLAUSIBLE, |
excuse for low prices. |
The plain Anglo-Saxon name for it is |
Stealage. 1t is the kind of robbery /
which permits one man to pocket the |
profits justly belonging TO hundred |
or a thousand. 1t amounts to little
less than universal serfdom among the
class who have the first right to eat
the class who till the soil and feed the
millions

Uniting New York and Broox.yn.

That part Of Long Island soun,l ex-
tending from Harlem river to the south
ern point Of the island, ON which New
York city is situated, is called East
river. a writer in the New York World
has great scheme. which he believes
will really unite New York and Brook
lyn, give both cities plenty of room and
effectually bring down the exaggerated
rents inhabitants of the larger of the
two cities are now forced to pay. The
scheme is nothing less than the filing
up Of East river from Brooklyn bridge
to Eighty ninth street.
With the one bridge and the slow and
aismsy ferries il takes as long to 90
from the upper limits Of New York to
the outer edge Of Brooklyn as it does to
go TO Philadelphia in fast train. Fill
ing up East river would make the two
cities one and give room for all the rapid
transit needed. Il is not the idea of Mr.
Isaac A. Hopper, whose brain evolved
the plan, to shut off Long Island sound
from Hudson river. On the contrary,
under his plan the Harlem river would
be widened and deepened to a ship canal,
carrying vessels of the heaviest draft.
Harlem river could be bridged at fire.
quent intervals without great expense
Then great sea walls would be built
both at the Brooklyn bridge and Eighty
ninth street, shutting off the sound wa
tiers completely. The land between could
be filled in and give that much increase
of territory to the two cities. The cost
is put at $3.50, 10000 After all, this
is not much more of an undertaking
than the little kingdom of Holland is
now engaged in in the shutting off of
the Zuydef Zee from the ocean.
