OUR FARMING LAND.
WOEFUL DEPREC CITATION IN
PRICES THEREFOR.
Mark Hanna and His Crowd Of Lahsr
Cfushsrs Imagine That Dsclislag
Values Keep the AerIcult afists-A Tell
Tale Senate Report.

According to the Senate report on
Agricultural Depression" in Illinois
improved lands fell from $20.81 in 1878
to $11.1S in 1892; wheat fell in the
same time from $1.10 to 69 cents a
bushel; cattle dropped nearly 60 per
cent; horses and mules went below
that; hogs fell so per cent, and sheep
80 per cent.
In Nebraska improved lands have
fallen more than 20 per cent since 1885
and live stock about 40 per cent.
In Kansas the tenant farmers in
creased 3O,563.
In the Pacific and mountain states
and the territories, the number of ten
ant farmers increased 20,350.
In the Middle states the number OF
owning farmers decreased 42,3O4, and
the tenants increased 24.075.
In fifteen Southern states there was
an increase of 39O, ,275 tenant farmers.
The Middle West. Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois gives evidence of the same
change, and the group lost 81, ,259 own
ing farmers and gained 4S,S64 tenant
farmers.
In Illinois the tenants increased to
36.72 per cent of the whole. In eight
states of the Northwest the number Of
tenant farmers increased 1OS,507.
In Pennsylvania farm lands have
fallen % to 80 per cent in less than
twenty years.
In the New England states, farm
lands have fallen 30 per cent since
1875.
In forty-seyen states and territories
the number of tenant farmers Increased
599.337. In 1880, 1852 per cent of the
farms were cultivated by tenants, in
1890, 34.13 per cent of the farm families
were tenants.
According to the report of the secre-
tary of agriculture for 1898 the value
Of an average acre of wheat that year
in the United States was $616, and the
cost OF raising 1t was 1148-a net loss
to the wheat-growers of this country
of $5.S2 for every acre cultivated that
year.
The report also says the average an
nual value OF an acre of wheat for the
fourteen years from 1880 to 1898, in
elusive, was only 1913, while 1t cost to
raise it per acre $11.4S-a net annual
loss to the farmers of the United States
of $1.75 for every acre OF wheat pro-
duced since 1879.
The same report shows that the cost
OF raising an acre of corn in 1893 was
$11.71, and that the value of an acre OF
corn that year was $S.21.

I;us.isns and Arneni.ns.

The Russian people cared a great
deal about the Bulgarians, they do not
care at all about the Armenians
Englishmen are apt to be puzzled by
this difference Of attitude; they would
find it more Ineligible If they bore in
mind the place that religion holds In
the Russian mind. The Bulgarians be-
longed to the same church the Rus
sian peasant does not trouble himself
about 'autocephalous" distinctions
the Armenians do not belong to the
church at all. They are monophysite
heretics, ard though the peasant prob
ably thinks that 1t might be better that
they should get their punishment from
the orthodox czar than from the Mus
sulman Turk, he is not greatly concern
ed that they-should get it, This is an
example of Indifference originating in
religious diversity, just as the last wai
with Turkey was an example of SYM
pathy originating in religious agree
ment; but 1t serves equally well to en-
force the paramount part that religion
plays in the formation of Russian
popular opinion.

How to D...roy Public Credit,

II the government has been paying
gold interest, 1t had that right by the
original agreement, and it may here
after pay silver interest by the same
right. The option is in the government,
and 1t has never been surrendered and
never will be. How often must this be
repeated before the goldites will con-
sent to accept the fact? We have had
enough Shylock talk about public
credit" good faith" honor" under
standings" Expectations" and Sup
positions" The surest way to kill
public credit. good faith and honor
is to smash down the price of property
paralyze business. pauperize labor,
bankrupt enterprise. and drive the peo-
pie into poverty and despair. and that
is precisely the role the gold-yelpers
are playing.-Chicago Tribune, Janu-
ary 16. 1878.

The silver dollar was not changed
In 1892 congress enacted that 371A
grains of silver should constitute the
American dollar; that this dollar
should be the unit of value of Ameri-
can money, and be legal tender in
payment of all debts. public and
private. During the eighty years that
