III the Western farmer is to prevent
a further depression In the prices Of
his products, he must either decrease
his productions about S7OO, 100000 an
nually or restore the commercial and
manufacturing interests of the United
States to an equilibrium with farming.
If the farmer, with his cOmmendable
determination, zeal and patience, ear.
nestly goes to work, he can, within q
few years, restore that equilibrium.
The United States has no merchant
marine. Only 13 per cent. Of our for
eign commerce is carried in American
bottoms or floats "Old Glory" If we
construct our own merchant marine,
manufacturing the steel out of which
the ships are made, the workmen en-
gagged In these industries and those de-
pendent upon them would consume
all Of our surplus farm products,
England carries so per cent. Of the
commerce Of the world, while the
United States, owning ORe-fifth Of the
wealth Of the world, only carries 9 per
cent. Is 1t any wonder, then, that Eng
land has such powers and directs and
controls the wealth and commerce Of
the WorldP Build and equip Ameri-
can ships; man them with Americans;
float over them the American flag, and
our merchant marine will be the
drummer of the sea-" advertising
everywhere American goods. Then,
and not until then, will we be able to
stop that impoverishing policy Of
shipping raw cotton instead Of
the fabric which 10 msnufaC-
Cured out Of it and made twenty
times more valuable by American
labor. When that is done the
clearing houses for the commercial
business of this continent will be
transferred from London to points on
the Atlantic and Pacific ocean and the
Gulf Of Mexico.
Legislation will be needed to bring
about this equilibrium in the funds-
mental industries Of farming, COM
merce and manufacturing; and if the
farmers have not lost that love of
country for which they have always
been distinguished, and are loyal to
themselves, they have the power to
create such a public sentiment as will
elect representatives who by their acts
will show that all money Is made, not
by law, but by labor, and that, when
good prices and markets come, they
must come through the golden har-
vest fields, and by the whlrling spin
dies and turning wheels, past the
seething and burning furnace, and by
the chimney, filled with eager fire,
cheering and comforting the countless
sons Of toll, and opening to the indus
triouS and thrifty all paths to fame,
and put the star Of hope above the
cradle of the poor mans babe.

"A SOUTHERN MARKET.
The Importance Of q Deep Water HaRbOr on
the Gulf Of Mexico.

Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: !:
During the past ten years, when deep
water harbOrs on the Gulf Of Mexico
are mentioned, reference is always had
to those improvements which are being
made on the Gulf or Mexico In Texas
by the United States government at
the mouth of the Sabine river and at
Galveston, as well as those carried on
by private parties with the consent Of
the government at the mouth OF the
Brazos river and at Arkansas Pass.
AN Of these harbors, excepting Aran-
sas Pass, are being improved under
what is known as the ietty system. II
might not be uninteresting to some
present to have q jetty defined, as well
az their construction described.
JettieB In sea-work may be defined to
be constructions, whether partially
open or solid, which are built for the
purpose of guiding or concentrating
the current Of river or Of the tide
when emerging into the ses. They
may provide a certain amount Of shell
ter as well, but their main object is to
keep open or deepen che entrance Of q
channel or hsrbor, or the mouth of
river.
The methods Of constructing the
jetties are as follows: From 600 to 800
feet Of trestle, built on piling, is con.
structed, and the caps, stringers and
rails properly secured by straps, bolts
and spikes. Then large sandstone rip
rap is unloaded on each side of
the track to q height Of about
three feet from the bottom. In the
center between the mounds thus formed
there Is unlosded small sandstone rip.
rap to the same height as the mound,
the whole forming an apron about
three feet thick, with base of about
twenty feet. The trestls and apron
are continued In advance, and the
work which was before an apron is
now brought up to mean low tide
with large rip-rsp, the small rip-rsp
being filed In as before. This rip rap
slope Is straightway protected with
granite blocks to q little above mean
low tide. Then over this rip.rsp crest
Is laid selected granite blocks, 80 90 to
conform, as nearly as possible, to the
regular cross section. The spaces be-
tween the blocks are now filed with
large and small rip.rap, properly
Wedged and leveled off at the crest,
the whole presenting a comparatively
smooth and even surface to the waves.
The object Of the Galveston jetties Is
TO concentrate the force of the current
by confning the ebb and flow Of the
tide, so az to produce q Scour on the
bars and thereby deepen the channel.
The depth sought to be obtained In the
entrance to the channel at Galveston
Is thirty feet, which will be ample for
ocean vessels Of the largest size. Two
jetties are being constructed at Calves
ton, and SO, 200, 0O0has been sppropriat-
edtO pay for their completion. The
present length of the south jetty is
$3.50 feet, Of which $1,000 feet is COM
plsted, and 1880 feet is incomplete.
About {, S,500feet remains to be construct.

foot curve in the gulf, The present

Therefore the benefit accruing to the
Kansas farmer by shipping through
the gateway Of the Gulf Of Mexico
must be apparent, and needs no argu-
ment or demonstration, Kansas is,
and always will be, a surplus-produCing
State. This surplus must 6nd market
by expectation. Therefore the Kansas
farmer wants all of the markets posi-
bic, as we'll as the shortest haul and
cheapest transportation to reach them.
The West should control the markets
of the West Indies, as well as those Of
Central and South America and Mex
leo, not only because Of the Monroe
doctrine, but because we are nearer to
them than any other country, and we
produce in abundance what they need
and buy. A legitimate and natural
commerce moves rather along the me-
ridians than along the parallels Of latl-
tude. 1t is the interchange Of the prod.
uCts of one climate with those Of an.
other. Its mission ia to mix the seasons
and the golden hours, and not ''to carry
Goals to Newcastle" by bringing to
each people the things that it could
sbundsntly procuce at home. We
should exchange with Cuba our meats
and bresd.stuffs for her sugar, and We
should exchange our corn, meats and
farm implements with Brazil for hel
coffee. The United States, in 1894
purchased from these countries 1925,
100000 worth of their products, and
we only sold them $9O,OOO,O 900 worth Of
ours, although we produce and manu-
fsctuEe in abundance what they buy
and use. The theory of ali exchanges
is to balance the accounts Of the i'm,
ports with the exports. Some other
nation sold these countries this differ
ence Of $145, 600, 900 worth of products,
the sale Of which, economically and
commercially, belonged to as.
Another feature of vital Importance,
closely identified with the prosperity Of
the farmers, which has never been con
sidered in these discussions, Is the aid
that deep water on the Gulf of Mexico
viii give to the enlargement Of oul
home markets, and in restoring and
re-establishing our lost merchant ma
rine. The industrial state contains
three fundamental classes-farming,
commerce and manufacturing. A ma
tiOn takes high rank in wealth, culture
and prosperity in proportion as al
these classes are fully developed and
maintained in equilibrium. If any one
Of the three is depressed or hindered in
Its development, the whole nation suf
fers accordingly. Political economists
say that every nation contains within
its own boundaries the means Of
making it independent Of all others,
as regards the articles of prime neces
sity. There is, therefore, no need oi
employing a large part Of Its people, Of
a large part Of Its capital, in transport
ing these articles across the ocean. A
foreign market for our surplus farm
products is always an uncertain mar
ket, because most Of the articles thai
we export are articles Of prime neces
sity, and the demand for them Ii
only intensified by the failure
Of crops or other misfortune. Besides,

twenty-One feet can safely cross the
bar.
To give you some Idea Of the msgni-
tude Of this work, the engineers report
that they have already placed on these
jetties about $4,000 cars Of sandstone
and granite. The selected granite
blocks are ten tons each In weight, and
two Of them make a carload.
The improvements which are being
carried on at Arkansas Pass by private
parties consists of q single jetty, or
breskwater. It is constructed SINH
larly to those at Galveston, with the
exception that the stone is carried to
the jetty on bsrges instead OF on q
railroad.
The object Of the jetties at Sabine
and Brazos rivers is to con6ne the
waters Of those rivers In a narrow
channel 90 ss to sCour away the bar
which forms at their mouths.
At Arkansas Pass 1t was found that in
q certain curve in the pass there was
very deep water, and the object Of the
single jetty Is to extend and continue
this curve over the bar. Only a pOr-
tion Of the work at Arkansas Pass has
been constructed, yet the results al.
ready attained have been much greater
than had been expected, and where
there was less than nine feet Of water
when the jetty was commenced, there
is now thirteen feet. Contracts for
the completion of the work, 1 am in
formed, have been made. My under
standing is that not over twenty feet
Of water is expected at either Sabine
or Brazos rivers, and not more than
twenty-five feet at Aransas Pass.
Deep water, then, on the Gulf Of
Mexico, Is a certainty, and is beckon-
Ing the West to come and avail herself
Of its benefits and advantages. The
Importance of such hsrbors cannot be
overestimsted, sffording, as they will,
ample and safe anchorage for our
navy, as well as giving q superior and
strategic loc tlOn for navy yard. The
naval advantages, however, are only
incidental, which 1 had to notice on
account of our atmosphere being so
heavily charged with "WsrS and rumorS
Of wars" These harbors will be the
short-haul gateway for the products Of
the West to the markets Of the world.
During the year 1894 the United
States exports amounted to $89S, ,0OO,-
600. Three.fourths of that amount,

largely furnished by the American
farms. Thus 1t will be seen that, out
Of these vast exports, only per cent.
Is produced from sources other than
the American farms. Careful esti-
mates, frequently revised and tested
by the Department of tSe Interior,
show that the States west of the Mis-.

people Of the East with the deficiency

TRACK AND PADDOCK ITEMS.

One more steeplechase-rider has been
added to the blacklist. Swift was sus-
pended by the judges yesterday for his
indifferent ride on Tom Clarke.
The best proof that figures sometimes
lie was shown by reviewing one OF the
numerous handicaps sold at the gate.
Among the starters in the first race whose
past performances did not entitle them to
figure possible chance was Skalkaho.
The Montana horse finished good second.
Mount Air was well played to win
the opening race, but the weather signals
displayed indicated that his wind would
be bad, and sure enough he failed to get
inside the money.
The good information bureau reported
Road warmer, the first choice for the last
race, dead one" and the judges warned
butter to DO his best In the saddle. The
morse showed his old-time speed until
nearing the stretch, where he began to
tire, and from that point on to the wire
ran as though feast of broken glass, pet
rlhed doughnuts, homemade mlnce pies
and Market-street cobble-stones had dis
arranged his digestive organs.

ing was well backed. The former lad

Olive is dark bay mare, 4, by Apache,

meeting was one of the most consistent
performers that faced the starter, placing
many purses to the credit of the Haw-
thorne magnate.

among the old royal lum Der for the scepter.
Hawaii, living exposed and defe useless
in the great path of commerce traversing
the Pacific, must be or should be pro-
tected by a stronger power than itself, and
the question arises, Which power shall
that be?' Burdened with an unpopular
Government, and nlled with the nom
assimilating elements of mixed people,
she will disintegrate. Besides her own in
different natives and the American and
English born, who are cousins but not
lovers over the Hawaiian question, she
has great numbers OF Portuguese, Japa-
nese and Chinese laborers scattered among
the plantations. These three bodies of
aliens are only lay figures in the political
economy of the republic, except when they
become, if they do objects of solicitude on
the part of their respective governments.
Should another outbreak or revolution
occur Great Britain and other powers, if
not the United States, will surely take
strong and active measures on the ground
of protecting their respective subjects.
The Hawaiian Islands should have pop
ular and stable Government or annexation
TO this country.
Speaking of revolution, the thing is
not so remotely impossible and even now,
though / am not DESTROYS of being quoted
as prophet, the seeds OF rebellion may
be sprouting. The last uprising might
have been successful had they possessed
leader who would have first prepared for
the blow. 1t was sprung too soon and
went haphazard after it got started. The
natives can only be relied upon when
they are properly led, but there are doubt
less leaders which, under the present con-
dition of things. have nothing to lose,
comparatively epeaking, and everything
10 gain. The Kanakas will be ever looking
for the day when native Hawaiian will
occupy the palace again, for their simple
minds cannot grasp the idea of an alien
ruling over the old kingdom of Kameha-

Der of years. All this came about by rea
son of the crew of the Oregon having beer

The boys felt so good at the record made
by the queen of battle-ships that each cred
tied him self with the vessels success and as
a result when emerging "tween decks" to
the open air with money in his pocket the
blue hills of the Potrero were made to echo
with praise for the vessels record.
The bounty, however, earned by sthe
splendid record made has not been vet
given to the men who did so much to
achieve that honor. The eighty men will
average about Sis each, but it will be
some time before the allowance is made.

and some red tape to spin before the bonus
reaches the hands of those who are emit

The favorites could be said to have met
with more than ordinary success, for two
out of the five won purses for their owners.
Old Oregon Eclipse surprised the crowd
by capturing the event in which he started
at ODDS of 20 to l..
Bookmaker Humphreys Zobair went to
the post to 5favorite, against very or
binary field in the opening six-furlong run.
Coffey waited with MIN until the stretch
was reached, when he sent him to the
front, and at the wire won handily by a
length and half, with Chinook, 80 to
shot, finishing in the show.

Eclipse, scampered away with the next
juicy price of Is to 1. He was apparently
neglected and overlooked until the last
moment, when quiet play was made on
him. Away in front, closely followed by
Tar and Tartar, he managed to keep his
head in the lead all the way, and at the
wire beat the Tar out a head. Martin, on
the to choice Herman1ta, backed down
from to 3, managed to bring his mount
up the last furlong, finishing third next
the rail, but head away from the leaders.
May Day and Ricardo were left at the post.
The jumpers had an inning in the third
event, the course being about one and one
eighth miles with six obstacles to clear.
Clancy's mount, Artemus. seemed:to be in
greatest demand, the wise coin forcing his
odds down from 8 to 5 TO to 10. OF the
other five starters the Lark was offered
the most support, the departed Ciifton's
favorlte being played down from AZ to

He was, however. unfortunate in making
a mistake at the first jump, dislodging his
rider. Epperson, from the saddle. The
favorite led until reaching the brow of the
hill coming up from the dip when Arun-
del, ridden by Cuddy, overlook him and
won easily by length. Comrade finished
IN the show behind the first horse. The
winner was to l chance in tue books.
