KANSAS MARINERS IN LUCK.

No man in his right mind rejoices be-
cause misfortune overtakes his neighbor.
But that Is not good reason why we
should not, in good will, avail ourselves
of opportunities to assist our fellow men
even though we profit by it. Through
cold, drought, and from other causes, the
wheat crop Of foreign wheat exporting
countries is short this year, and the prob
able demand for American wheat will be
larger than usual. This is gain to Kan
sas wheat growers, and our large crop
comes handy.
There is nothing now in sight, how
ever, which justifies extravagant hopes
that prices will advance much il any
above the present level, and if they do,
the rise will be unsteady, irregular and
uncertain, because it will be brought
about by speculstora in order to force
rush to market and thus reduce prices;
or spurts may come after the grain has
left the farmerh' hands, and these, like.
wise, will be part OF the traders game.
But in any event, Kansas farmers are
in good condition to profit by the sitUa-
tion.
The advocate., 1897-07-28
AS TO THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE.

The ADVOCATE does not see anything
ahead of US to indicate any advance in
the general level OF profits on the pro.
ductions Of labor, All signs point toward
cheapness, that is, toward reduction in
the actual cost OF producing useful and
necessary articles. The California farmer
can raise wheat for % cents bushel,
and he does it; the Massachusetts, man
uraCturer can produce cotton cloth for 2
centss yard, and he does it; the Alabama
iron monger can make pig iron at SO the
ton, and he does it. And the railroad
manager who carries these things to
market, can and does do it for half cent
a ton by the mile; and the ship master
that carries our surplus across the sea
takes with him 10000 tons cargo-s
thousand head OF live stock or third of
million bushels Of grain. A mans suit
OF heavy wOolen clothes is carried from
London to Chicago for 5 cents, and S22
will pay a mans passage across the At
lantic Ocean and feed him ON the voyage.
In view OF these facts, to such of the
people as are not in debt and who have
good lands or steady business or trades
atfording regular employment, the out.
look for the immediate future is not dis
couraging. On the contrary, there is to
them much in the prospect that is invit-
ing. A livelihood is reasonably sure to
them IL they but do their part, as we
may assume they will, But we must al
be content with small gains, 40 profit
The advocate., 1897-07-28

margins are narrow. Industry and econ.
omy will carry US through.
To such as are in debt, and to those
who are without means or employment,
the future never was darker or less in
viting, The strike among the coal
miners and the tramp plague among the
farmers are ugly indications. They both
are results OF unhealthy social cOndi.
tions. It is altogether probable that at
leBst once more the conservative forces
in society will assert themselves, and
temporarily at least these disorders may
be suppressed. But their recurrence in
more formidable organization is as Ger.
tain as the rising Of the sun. Having
sown the wind, we must reap the whirl-
wind.
To those who fatter themselves that
everything is settled with the passage Of
the tariff bill, great disappointment is in
store. Nothing is settled whose settle
ment bears on the future. Conditions
are not changed. There will be a brief
squirt In business, but the people are not
in condition to buy largely, and hence,
after brief period OF activity in some
lines Of trade, stocks will be full and top.
heavy, business will slow up and the dis.
ease will break out again.
We believe that, in the end, all will be
we'll; but when we look over the wreck
age Of the past and see what it has cost
men to get this far, we feel sure that our
and sel6shness will be in the
way Of happy solution Of present and
pressing problems.
The advocate., 1897-07-28
LET us MAKE THE MOsT on IN.

One great struggle is over, one crisis
past, and the business world bresthes
easier. Whether the new tariff law has
healing for US in It's operation, whether
1t will only nggrsvate the common NAL
ady, or whether we shall find in it moth
ing more than merely the relief which
follows assurance that a particular agony
is ended, the law cannot be changed
short Of four years at least.
The effect Of the new law will be to
keep prices OF most manufactured arti-
cles high above a normal level. That is
the principal object Of the law. The act
OF 1894, though it levied an average Of
80 per cent, on the value of imported
goods, was considered as q free trade
measure by the friends OF this new act
OF 1897. So, while prices generally will
be low as compared with the range OF
twenty-five years ago, the general level
OF prices Of manufactured goods will be
about As per cent. above a free trade
line. Sugar. for example, will cost US,
on sn average Of all grades, ~ cents
more by the pound than free sugar
would cost. Woolen cloth and clothing
will cost 60 per cent. more than free
trade prices. Shoes will range 25 to 30
per cent above, and 80 on.
Prices Of farm products will not be
affected in any apprecisble degree by the
provisions of the new law, though high
duties are laid on grain, live stock, pro-
visions and dairy products. Our home
production is so enormous as to be vastly
in excess OF our own country's needs, and |
we must therefore export the surplus to
other countries whore prices are regu-
lated by open competition in a free trade
market. And this condition will remain
even though we find new and growing
in Oriental countries for the
products Of our farms.
We have Mckinley and McKinleyism
with US, and, whether for veal or for
voc, it is for us all alike, and it ls our
luty as we'll as our opportunity to make
he most Of it.
The advocate., 1897-07-28

The ADVOCATE, about three months
ago, received letter from subscriber
requesting that the paper directed to his
address be discontinued because, he said,
we belonged to the "middIe Of .the-road
gang" And now we have to stop an
other brothers paper because we shave

The advocate., 1897-07-28

THE consolidated returns from the
State, county, and township correspond
ents Of the Department Of Agriculture
indicate decrease Of 1,2 per cent. in the
acreage Of corn, as compared with chat
OF last year. This estimate, which is
preliminary, represents decrease OF
about 100000 acres, the estimated area
under corn now standing at S0,095,O5l
acres. Only ten States show an increased
area devoted to this crop, az against
thirty four reporting decrease. While
those reporting an increase include such
important corn-producing States as
Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and
Texas, Ohio and Michigan each report a
shrinkage Of 6 per cent, Indiana one Of
4 per cent, and Iowa no less than per
cent, reductions in acreage that far out
weigh the increase in any important corn
State, except Texas.
