Mutual Insurance.

The question Of forming mutual
insurance company of the property
holders of the city is being somewhat
discussed. The law on the subject
provides thai, ANY number of
persons not less than twenty-five
residing in the same city :, who
collectively, shall own property of not
less than twenty-five thousand dollars
in value, which they desire to have
insured, may form them selves into a
corporation for mutual insurance"
etc. The plan is similar to that under
which farmers insurance companies
have been successfully conducted for
years. There is, perhaps, half a
million dollars worth of detached
property in this city which might be
brought into a mutual company.
Business property can not be Insured,
except by direct authority of the
stockholders. The detached property
in this city is certainly less exposed
than the average farm property, so
that ii is fair TO compare the
probable cost of insurance with the
experience of our farmer neigh
bors. The farmers insurance COM
pany has been in existence for twenty
years and the total assessments for
losses during that tir1e amount to only
twenty-four mills on the dollar. This
on $4,000 would be $4,000. Ac-
cording to the rates of insurance paid
in this city to the old standard COM
panies the assessments for the same
period would have been not less than
sixty mills and on the same amount of
property and would have aggregated
thirty thousand dollars, thus showing
a saving on the mutual plan of SIS, 900
in twenty years. If these figures are
not correct let any insurance agent
show where they are at fault. We
want either more light or cheaper
rates.

and paid for the lands upon which they
had lived and labored. 1t was impossible
for farmers in the old States to probably
sell their products in competition with
those Of the newer States, grown upon
lands which cost their owners nothing.
Referring to the impression that great
er rates of interest are charged for mon
ey loaned upon farms than for that loaned
upon other kinds of real estate, Secretary
Morton states that the rate of interest
charged on mortgages upon residential
property other than farms averages eigh-
ty-four hundredths Of per cent. less
than the rate of interest charged upon
farm loans.
During the fiscal year just ended the
exported products Of American farms ag-
gregated $57O,OOO,O0O, an increase Of
SIT 900, 600 over the preceding year. In
spite of this there was falling off in
the percentage of agricultural products
exported to the total exports, but this
was due to the unprecedented sale abroad
Of American manufactured goods. The
largest market for our products is ad-
mitted to be the home market, but the
export trade is the regulator, the balance
for domestic trade. 1t follows that the
interest Of the manufacturer as well a.
the farmer is found In the most rapid
possible increase Of the export Of farm
products. General prosperity depends
absolutely upon agricultural prosperity,
and any commercial system which will
increase with celebrity and extend with
| certainty the export Of our farm prod
| ucts will be Of the utmost advantage to
agriculture and all those interested In IT.

excellent condition. The Glasgow mar
ket - especially commended to American
Shippers. The report shows q steadily
Increasing demand in England for Amer
lean horses. During the 6rst nine months
OF the present year more Of these animals
were shipped to that country than Tor any
previous entire year.
Reviewing the work Of the weather
bureau, special stress 10 laid upon, the
value OF the many timely warnings which
have been issued by the bureau, and have
resulted In the protection from loss Of
damage OF many millions Of dollars worth
OF property, to say nothing Of the many
lives saved. from -inpandiag dange.. An
increase In the percentage of veri6cations
Is noted.
During the year the department issued
370 publications. mainly for gratuitous
distribution. The aggregate number Of
copies printed was 1851, 700. The Secrc-
tary again takes occasion to express his
opposition to the gratuitous distribution
of seeds and to express the hope that the
practice will be discontinued. The work
Of the experiment stations is reviewed at
some length. He opposes, for the present.
the establishment of an agricultural ex-
pertinent station in Alaska, but recon-
mends an appropriation of $1,000 for a
preliminary investigation Of the agricul-
tural resources of the territory.
The report concludes with a compre-
hensive review of the condition Of Ameri-
can farmers. Seventy-two per cent. Of
the farms in the United States occupied
by their owners are absolutely free from
pQo mr. nfh In 1vn
Secretary refutes the idea prevailing that
the farms of the West and South are more
heavily burdened than those of the East
and Northeast. States along the North
Atlantic, he says. are quite heavily in
numbered with farm mortgages, and New
Jersey carries debt of this kind greater
in proportion to its farm valuations than
any State in the Union. The frequent
claim that the farmers are almost univer-
sally in debt. Respondent and suffering, he
declares to be without any foundation, a
belittlement of agriculture and an indig-
nifty to every intelligent and practical
farmer.
Referring to the stress of competition
which the American farmer is compelled
to endure, Mr.. Morton calls attention to
the nearly 100000 of farms, Of eighty
acres each, given away by the Govern
ment under the homestead act of 1896
during the last thirty years. and to the
amount donated under the timber-culture
law. equivalent to over $4,000 more
farms of the same size. Lands long titled
and rendered partially infertile could not,
of course, enhance in value and sell In
competition with virgin soil donated by
the Government. No legislation relative
to the public domain has been 80 directly
inimical to the farmers who had bought

WHEAT STILL RISING.

Il Has Reached the Highest Point
Known in Years.
The boom in wheat IL still ON and the
American farmer 10 in corresponding!y
happy frame of mind. It touched TIE
highest point in years on the New York
Produce Exchange during the week. It
is predicted that it will yet touch the
dollar mark and bring to the farmer the
realization Of his widest dreams before
the winter Is over.
The failure Of the wheat crop in India
and Australia is 80 large that deficiency
Of 2O33, 800 quarters has been created in
Great Britain's usual supply, which must
be made up from other sources. This
change 10 IN itself sufficient to uphold
the recent rise. One day recently there
we're in passage to the United Kingdom
2O45,OOO quarters, of which Russian
wheat amounted to 100000 quarters,
North American 100000, South Ameri.

elsewhere 5000 quarters.

uments, on a number Of accounts, not
least among which are the probable rec
concentrations of the President and the
Secretary of the Treasury in regard to
revenue and monetary legislation. As to
the latter, it is by no means improbable
that the recommendations of last year
will be renewed.
As to revenue legislation, the case Is
somewhat different. Unless some mcu
who are usually well informed and are
generally supposed to enjoy the CONT
dence of some of the higher officials of the
administration, if not of President Cleye-
land himself, are at fault, Congress is
to be asked to take early steps to provide
more revenue.
That this Recommendation will coincide
with the lines of the Dingley emergency
revenue bill, which passed the House Of
Representatives last winter and was
held up in the Senate, is not to be ex-
pected. The provisions in that measure
affecting wool and wooden goods alone
would probably have provoked a veto Il
the bill had passed the Senate at the last
session. and may do SO If 1t should pass
at the coming session.
From trustworthy sources 1t has been
learned that both the President and Sec
rotary Carlisle are strongly inclined at
this time in favor of an increase Of the
internal tax on beer from 81. the exist
ing rate, to 81 barrel. It IL also under
stood that the Secretary 10 somewhat in
clined to consider favorably Assistant
Secretary Hamlin's proposition to impose
revenue duty on tea and coffee imported
from foreign countries. At 81 Z barrel,
the internal tax on fermented LIQUORS
amounts in round figures to $40. 600 900
year. On the same output and con-
| sumption the tax at 81 a barrel would
amount, of course, to $64, OOO, 900 4 year.
and add So, 100000 to the total annual
revenues.
1t is contended, however, by the oppo-
nents Of the proposition to double the tax,
that it would would neither double nor
greatly increase the revenue, especially
in the first year after it should become
operative.

The steamer Florence Henry went

is estimated at 100000. A Snohomish
special says the river there is now twenty
