The strikers in the mining district
have favOrably impressed the country,
they have right on their side, they are
waging an unequal contest for bread
for themselves and their families,
they have the sympathy of the
farmers and merchants and the men,
beers of the professional classes and
should succeed whether they do or
not How much is an attempt to
make capital out of the strike for fool
political and other effects it is diff
cult to ascertain, but that the strike
is justified by the conditions of
labor in the mining districts is a prop
osition that cannot be successfully de-
MED.
There are more deversities of opinion
as to the prospective cotton crop than
would fill book. There is in this i'm
mediate vicinity an unusual shortage
but it is not probable that it reach
es over very much of the state. There
is no reason apparent why the esti-
matters of the crop should place it be-
low what it is likely to reach, there
are considerations that would induce
then to magnify it. Still there seems
no good reason for disputing the as
sertion that the crop will be much as
that Of the last season. 1t will not fall
below two millions and may reach an
other half.

4 FREE TRADE TRICK.

The free traders, finding their ideas
of economics knocked in the head by
the logic of circumstances, are looking
around for some method of continu-
ing the fight for the old exploded ideas
on some new ground that will blind the
eyes of the masses to the real issue
The bottom contention of the old par
ty of free trade was that there was
an irreconcilable antagonism between
protection and the interests of the
agricultural classes. When the short
experiences under the Mckinley bill,
in advancing the prices of all agricul-
tural products along the Canadian
border proved that protection benefit
ted the farmer as well as the manu-
facturer, the trainers of the Dingley
bill made the protection of the farm
products one of the features of that
bill. Floored by this act and thereby
finding the wind taken out of their
sails, the free traders have decided
to open the old fight by declaring that
the farmer must be protected by an
export duty on his products. Circu-
lars are now flooding the country, de-
claring that this is to be the issue in
the next congressional and presiden-
tial campaigns. This would indicate
that the free silveriteS are
now despairing of making their
hobby an issue and are coming into
line for something new. AS to the ex-
port duty on cereals, the country that
puts an export duty on any commodity
of which it grows far more than
ii consumes, is a feel for it prevents
the sale of its surplus TO that extent
This is something that the United
States is not likely to do until the
hairs of these agitators are brought
down with sorrow to their graves.
When the American farmers raise less
wheat and corn than will supply the
demands at home there is not going
to be any sent abroad. Our home peo-
pie will pay more than these products
will bring abroad with the carriage
and handling added. When the Am
crican farmers grow more wheat and
corn than will supply the home de-
mand, they will want to sell it and it
will not be to their interests to |
shut them out of the foreign market |
by levying a tax on it.

Texas is great state and this year
she is taking the pennant from the
great northwest as a wheat raiser,
Her acreage is increasing, her average
yield is increasing and there is nothing
better going in the way of quality.
This year her yield has about doubled
that of the wheatgrowing state of
Minnesota. Texas is no SLOUGH.

Tic Seed is tie Vital Thing.

Planting must be begun right, else
nc amount of cultivation or fertilizer
can prevent the crop being a failure.
The first step is the selection of the
seed. Do not take any risks here.
Get seeds that you can depend upon
seeds that are fresh, that have a repu-
tation behind them. The most relia-
bile seeds grown in this country are
Ferry's seeds. Wherever seeds are
sown the name of ID. NJ. Ferry Il Co..
of Detroit, Mich, is a guarantee of
quality and freshness. The greatest
care and strictest cautionare exercised
in the growing. selection. packing and
distribution of their seeds. Not only
must they be fresh, but they must be
true to name.
Ona par with the quality of the seeds
is Ferry's Seed Annual for 1897. the
most comprehensive andvaluable book
of the kind e printed. Every plan
ter, large and small, should get. read
and digest this book. before planting a
single seed. 1t is free to all who ad-
dress the firm as above.

Traffic arrangements have been

Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf sys-
tenn 10y which through rates will be
made. Until recently il was supposed
that no cNtention was intended north
of Dies Moines, but q is now known,
says IL dispatch, that it proposes notE-
ing less than to get to the head of Lake
Superior. The Importance of this will
be realized in thefuct that the develop
mcnt of the gulf system means war OH
the east and west lines. Gulf roads
have precipitated the grain rate
wars which have given such low rates
i'll the last few months. They have
been after the grain business of the
west and have secured so large an
amount of it that the Chicago lines
and grain dealers have come to regard
the situation as serious.
