The crowd that gathered early to-

first five leaders off the track. They
were saving. themselves for, the final
squirt. but the spectators saw some
thing wonderful. Oscar julius, the
plucky little Swede, who has made such
a splendid showing despite his poor
training, rode an unpaced mile, exhibit
ton, just to, see how he felt. He did
1t in 2:25 As. This spurred Ike Pulford,
Pierce's manager, to say that his man
could run annie In twelve minutes aft

he would not permit this unless some
one wagered him 81 900 on it. Oscar
julius is the most talked of man in
the ring. With trainers that did not
know their business, without being in
any sort Of condition, he accomplished
1.5OO miles. KIM is another surprise.

ONE TROUBLE WITH AGRICULTURE.

The American Agriculturisi
says that the value OF imports of
farm products into the United
States each year, practically all OF
which can be grown in this country
is:

Total

IsSI.... 100000 10000 10000 &C
Average s 900 S S $1,000
Some startling facts are revealed
by the above exhibit, which we
have compiled from the official re-
cords Of the Treasury Department.
1t covers two years OF high tariff,
two years Of tariff uncertainty, two
years of low tariff; also periods of
prosperity and adversely. There
fore the exhibit fairly represents
agricultural imports under average
conditions, excluding coffee, tea
and other articles that apparently
cannotb produced in this country.
Deducting the 100000 of
leather manufactures, it appears
that this country pays out $780,
100000 per year for stuff that our
farmers ought to aud can produce.
Before election, to be we'll with
in the facts, we called the amount
upward of $200,0c0,0O0') I'M
ports of manufactures of wool,
cotton and leather average $4,000
600 per year, most OF which could
be made in this country from do
nestle produce. Here is total of
nearly $300,0O0,O00 year, Of which
American farmers should have the
larger share without necessarily
ecurtailing their exports of farm
products.
The country has been in convul-
ssions because $25o, 100000 of bonds
have been issued in the past few
years-about fonr-ffths Of it to meet
the deficiency in revenue. But
every year imports OF farm products
that can be grown here, and manu-
features of them, largely exceed
that sum. Payments for such i'm
ports during the past six years ($r,-
734,8oo,ooo are more than twice as
as much as the entire interest bear
ing national debt 1884,, 900, ooo)!
Is it any wonder that agriculture
has been depressed? 1t is true that
these enormous imports have been
paid for in part by exports of the
surplus of cereals and manufactures,
but much gold and silver has also
gone abroad to balance imports.
But nine tenths of the foreign tradel
being carried in foreign bottoms,
this nation has to pay the freight
both ways--roughly figured as beingI
10 per cent. on the total value oil
imports and of exports.
American farmers should produced
everything this people consume that
can be grown in the United States /
American Agriculturist repeats thisl
proposition as an axiom that ALL
schools of thought will accept with
out question. Whatever ones POI
litical views may be, he will ac-
quiesce in this principle. Since
there is such unanimity upon it, and
since the need to our farmers is SO
great, the first duty of Congress,
which convenes next week, is to so
legislate that American farmers may
have the American market for all
the crops they can procure, without
interfering with the roreign market
for their surplus.
In our issue for October 81 we
printed a little table of agricultural |
imports for the fiscal year just closed.

SCARED BY AMERICA.
Hon. c. T. Richie Says We Are
"Ousting British Trade"
HAVE EVEN INVADED LONDON.
The President of the Board of Trade
Also Says United States Firms Are
Taking Important Orders In Europe,
Egypt and Japan.

LONDON, Nov. 24.-Rt. Hon. Charles
7. Richie, president of the board of
trade made an important speech before
the chamber of commerce of Croydon,
taking as his theme the decline of
British exports during the last ten
months, upon which he hung a grave
warning against American competition,
now "ousting British trade"
Mr.. Richie further declared that the
Dingley tariff and the eneaR eering
trade dispute were mainly responsible
for the recent decline of exports and
after pointing out that England had no
weapons against the tariff, said there
was great deal of talk in commercial
circles about the serious competition of
Germany but he thought they were
too apt to overlook a more serious COM
petitor, the nited States.
The facts are Serious" he contin-
ued, 'and call upon us for the ex-
ercise of all our powers TO enable us to
maintain oar position in the CONNER
cial world. There is no doubt the Uni
TED States is executing orders which
ought to be executed right here. As
we all know, an American firm OBJ
tanned the contract for the Central I'm
dergrounu railway of London, as its
BID was lower than those of the English
concerns, and it would deliver the sup
plies three months ahead of the British
tenders. Many jmbortant continental
orders have gone to America.
1.-THE same is to be said of Egypt and
Japan where the Americans are doing
work that Englishmen should have
done. In consequence of the engineer
ing dispute many orders are leaving the
country and unfortunately these orders
seldom return.
"America's successful competition is
due to her enterprise in embarking cap
ltal, but 1t is yet more due to the free
dom her manufacturers enjoy of en-
ploylng the best machinery and work
ing it in the most economical manner,
untrammeled by the restrictions which
have hampered manufacturers here.
Everyone having his country's interest
at heart must hope that tomorrow's
conference will lead to a settlement of
the unfortunate engineering dispute. ;"

While Blanther was incarcerated in
the Meridian Jail there was also fell
low prisoner named Pitts, who was ar.
rested on some minor charge and occu.
pied the cell adjoining that of Blanther.
Pitts is farmer who now lives near

have conversed with Blanther during
his two or three days confinement. In
