Demand for Farms.

At the Farmers Club meeting held al
Mr.. T. c. Bonds last week Mr.. Kitchener
made the following statement, reported
in the proceedings of the meeting:
''Mr. Kitchener thought the former high
prices received for farm products, had
given the farmers the means for extrav.
agant expenditure. He thought depres.
sion in prices was blessing in disguise,
as calculated to put stop to iinprovident
expenditures by farmers generally. There
was demand now for farms. If there
was nothing in farming, why this de-
mand ?"
According to this farmers are generally
the most "extravagant, or at least
among the most extravagant people. We
have heard great numbers of the most
intelligent and reputable farmers COM
plain that they were compelled to practice
even a niggard economy to make ends
meet and had failed to do even that. The
MIDLAND JOURNAL would like in conf
mon with many who are auxiously watch
ing the signs of the times, to have an ex-
preston from farmers on this question of
general extravaganza among them. And
also to have the fact of the alleged ode
mand" for farms, which would appear to
be general if Mr.. Kitchener is quoted
correctly, verified by real estate men.
If it is fact that low prices, the pres
ent depression in prices" is blessing
in disguise" to farmers-and the "dis-
guise" will soon be made manifest if
there is such disguise-and that there is
demand" for farms, that is a general
demand as the above statement implies,
the ''gold standard" advocates have
gained their case. This fact would be
most welcome in Wall street-it has not
been discovered there by the latest reports
from that source this week. would be
worth millions to Russll Sage, ]. Pierre
pont Morgan, and the New York Jew cor
Kitchener or any other person who can
put these men in possession of these facts
first and convince them they are reliable
-veritable facts-he can make half mil
lion dollars i'll ten minutes Such all
economic truth as this at this time would
set the stock boards and bourses of the
world crazy That present depression
in prices is a blessing in disguise" to
farmers and that falling prices for farm
products make boom in farm real estate.
If President Mckinley was placed in
possession of these facts his head would
rest easy in place of its present trouble
over the financial problem. The goldbue
Senators, especially grandmother Hoar,
and granny Morrill, if he were in the
chamber would crack the dome of the
capitol with theii shouts.
For upward of twenty years farmers
have been barely able TO scratch along. SC
the agricultural statistics from many
States affirm. Tens ofthousands of farms
have been in that time sold on foreclosed
mortgages, and yet the low prices i'll all
that period has not weaned them from
"extravagant habits" introduced by the
high prices their fathers received in the
the COS and JOS, and they still continue
to wrestle with the blessing in disguise
without having wholly realized its many
virtues.

The Constituents of "Good Times. ;"

1t is narrowed down to this. Enough
revenue to prevent deficit no matter
how extravagant the appropriations are
will bring back the much desired good
times. By raising the tariff the revenue
will be secured. This is President Nc
Kinley's program. A higher tax on I'M
ported goods will raise more revenue, but
the goods will be sold at higher rates or
they can't be imported. The tariff is
raised to prevent foreign goods from COM
ing in so that our factories may make the
goods by giving employment to our idle
labor. The people are so poor-have so
little noney-they are not able to buy at
present low prices all the goods our man.
ufacturers are offering for sale. This is
an honest presentation. Do you see the
contradictions in it?
First-There is not revenue to meet
expenses.
Second-The tariff must be raised to
increase the revenue.
Third-The duties must be increased to
prevent foreign goods being shipped into
this country in order that our mills may
be opened to employ the idle labor.
Fourth-Prices must be raised to en-
able the manufacturers to secure money
to pay the labor.
Fifth-The people have not money to
buy the goods at present low prices, how
will they be able to buy more at higher
prices?
Here is a whole lot of contradictions,
out of which tangle the advanced agent
of Prosperity has promised to conjure the
hoped for good time. The above is Pres
ident McKinley's policy" and the prom
Use and hope the Republican party hangs
on. For the life of us we are unable to
see how better times are to be evolved
out of such conditions. They contradict
and estop one another at every point.

A Brigand Government.

So contrary is England's course of late
to the ordinary precepts of fair play
usually associated with the British mind,
that it is we'll nigh impossible to reach
any other conclusion than that the ration
is under the control of influences utterly
foreign to true British sentiment. And
the available facts all go to show that this
foreign power is that of usurers, who are
recognized throughout history to be the
most heartless and the most inscriptions
class of public plunderers, under legal
guise, known to the world.
In proof, note the fearful robbery of
Hindoos by the English Government hav-
ing collected eighty-fve million dollars
gold from that people for famine fund,
in disappointing it for official uses,
and allowing those who paid the tax to
starve by the million. Worse than that,
render them, by such starvation, untitled
10 cope with deadly plague, now carry
ing off its victims III hundred thousand
patches. Can anything be more awful
for contemplation as the deliberate act of
a so-called civilized government And
when an English pailiamentarian sug-
gests for the relief of these starving Hin
docs that taxes shall be discontinued for
the time being in suffering parts of India,
seemingly the whole House of Commons
rises up in open protest to ridicule doing
anything of the kind
And upon top of this, the London
Times comes out in all editorial printing
the devilish plea, that at is good thing
for the world, these plaques of nature,
whose inevitable process charitable peo-
pie are endeavoring to thwart' which,
of course, is to excuse the robbers of
Hindoo property legally" obtained.
Also note England's attempt to rob the
Dutch Republic in South Africa by means
of freebooter army. which, happily,
was defeated. Also note England's at
tempt to rob Venezuela to get possession
of that peoples gold mines Also the
present announcement of Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach that England proposed to
remain in possession Of Egypt indefinite
ly"; when it may be remembered that
England, In assuming control i'll that
land announced that it would only be
temporary protectorate-to secure bond
holders
If thievery is wrong, then some OF
these Governments must be called to &C.
count, and regardless Of the opposition of
usurers who i'll every case, are shown to
be at the bottom Of the whole business.
In Our last war, in the height of the
crisis, these same usurers robbed our Gov
eminent by such fearful demands for
special legislation in behalf of themselves
that Lincoln at the time felt obliged to
say of them: "They ought to have their
internal heads shot off "-Xem, Philada.
The usurers at the head of the British
government are the Rothschild family
The same paralyzing hand is on the gov
eminent Of the United States. The hymn
of peace which is heard from the great
thrones of Europe is not the voice of a
common humanity but the voice of the
blood-sucking money power which depre-
Gates war because it would destroy wealth
the house of Rothschild proposes to grasp
from stinted and famishing peoples. 1t
is the voice of sordid greed that is initial
ing the voice of Justice, Love and
Mercy.-ED1

WONDERFUL GROWTH OF THE
 PACIFIC STATES.
The Greatest Progress Made in Ag-
 riCulture.

The Greatest Progress Made fin Az l riculture.
 From time to time, says the New
 York Sun we have directed attention to
 the papsrs on the progress of the Unit
 ed States which Michael G. Mulheil, 8
 we'll known British authority on sta tistics has contributed to the North | American Revieac The Sspte ember
 nun ber of that periodical contains the
 filth and concluding article of the 1 series, in which the growth of the | Psoifc States, comparatively overlook | ed in Europe, is shown to be more l amazing than tbub of any other portion of the Union.
 | IL is common to think of the wealth
 of the Pacific States ss due almost ex- | clusively to mining. This was true l enough during tLe ifties; down to 1857
 the diggipgs yielded gold to the snnue,
 velue of S60.OOO0OO and but little heed had been paid as yet to agriculture. Mir M u}ihEii estim mates that the value Of tbe precious metals extracted be- tween 1849 ard 1894 Wss nearly $3,O00
 
 ons metals in the Pacific States since
 1890 hes been upon the average 55 tons
 of gold ard 1900 tons of silver, together
 worth S1O,OO0,OOO. Nevertheless, the
 mines OF the eleven Pacific States were
 far from constituting in 1890 the prin- cipai component of their wealth. The mines, indeed, were only valued in that year at S544, 900, 900 ous of en aggregate wealth of st. .s11 ,OO0,0 ,0OO Farms in the same year were credited with S1,313, GOO, 900, houses with g, ,956, GOO, ,00O, rsil- ways with $1,O7O,O 100000, and sundries wish $928 900 600. Or railways in 1895 the Pacific States had 23,S0O miles. Mr Mullhsll points out that no other part of the world possesses so much iron track ln proportion to the population, there being ten yards of railroad to each inhabitant. There is no parallel, either, to the increase of wealth which l has taksn pisoe in these States. Iu 1 twenty years wealth has multiplied l ninefold, and whereas. during that interval, shs annual increment of l wealth for the whole Union did not l average S39 per inhabitant, the accum uletion in the Pacific States was $156 or four times as much. Nobody thinks | of the Pacific States es manufacturing centres. As matter of feet, however. l in 1890, the number of operatives was l52 GOO, and the output was worth S360,- 1 000,00O The value of the manufactures | produced yearly is equal to Sl19 peF in l habitsn6 against S141 in the prairie | States. As for foreign commerce, the l fact is noted that the shipping entries 1 have doubled in twenty yesrs ct Ssn Francisco, which, from the commercial l is now the fourth city in the 1 uoion, taking rank next Rfter Pnila- | delp phia. In population it has already | Nsw Orleans and Cincin- o afi No.

The bonds funded and turned over by the Loan Oommissien were is- sued in 1893, st which time they were signed by the Territorial Auditor. These bonds are uos held to be good and it was thought that new ones would be issued for them.
