A Great Industry.

Secretary Wilson is constantly on the
lookout for ways and means to benefit the
farmers of the United States. The report
of his department is of unusual impOr-
lance this year, because it treats of the
efforts to stimulate the production of
sugar beets Secretary Wilson is an en-
thusiast on this subject. He predicts that
III ten years the United States will be an
exporter of sugar, instead of the largest
importer in the world.
The capacity of the United States for
the production of beet sugar is practically
unlimited; and with the object of ascer-
tanning the most favorable localities for
its growth, Secretary Wilson distributed
seven tons of imported sugar beet seeds
among 22,00O farmers in twenty-seven
States, with the understanding that they
should furnish samples of their crop to
the department for the purpose of analy-
sis and a statement explaining the condl-
tons under which each sample was pro-
duced, and the method of culture.
The Secretary expresses himself as
deeply gratified by the returns. The most
favorable results have been obtained from
those sections of the United States where
new industries were demanded for the
farmer and where the manufacture OF
beets into sugar can be accomplished with
the greatest economy as to labor and
transportation. The experiments III west
ern Nebraska, Utah and California which
have been going on for some years have
demonstrated the practicability of beet
culture in those sections. but the samples
of this years crop which have been for
Warded to the department at Washington
and the experiment stations elsewhere
show that the soil and climate of Ohio
and other Central States are even better
adapted for this sort of crop than those
OF the far West. 1t is on the result of
these tests that Secretary Wilson bases
his prediction that n ten years this coun-
try will have sugar to sell.-Akron (O)

British Exports on the Decrease.

The returns issued by the London
Board of Trade show that during the
month of October there was a decrease
of 100000 in the value of British ex-
ports, and also a decrease of $3,OO0,OOO in
the value of imports. The decline was
chiefly in yarns and textiles. The decrease
in the exports of machinery was nearly
S2,oO0,0OO owing to the strike Of the en-
Sineers. The shipments of tin plates to
the United States continue to decrease,
and the wheat shipments from America
to increase. The total decrease in the
value of exports for ten months of 1881
Is $30.0OJ,000, as compared with the cor
responding period last year.
The successful competition of the Unit
ed States. Germany, Belgium and other
countries blessed by protection has had far
more to do with the decrease in British
exports of machinery than has the strike
OF the engineers. To the same cause is
due the decrease of $30,000,000 i'll the
general line of British exports in the first
ten months of 1897. OF all the nations of
Europe Great Britain is the only one left
that clingS to free trade, and she is losing

English Compliments.

1t is not often that the London Times
pays compliment to the productive Il
dustry of the United States. but here is
an item from it's columns that American
labor can enjoy:
American machine tools by hundreds
of thousands of dollars worth are sent,
freight paid, for thousands of miles across
the ocean to England. Germany, France,
Russia. Japan and China, and it is diff
cult to resist the contention that this

We Welcome Maryland.

Maryland. by her recent Republican vic
tory, now assumes permanent position
in the Republican column. In three sue
cessive years-'95, 90. '97-the Republi-
cans have. in hard-fought campaigns on
both sides, carried the State by good
majorities. so that many leading politi-
clans of both parties now look upon Mary
land as safe Republican State This is
another evidence of the steady growth of
sentiment in favor of Republican princi-
pies in the South, as we'll as the North,

South in the House having grown from

Exports Outstrip Population.

Mr.. Michael Mulhall, in paper in the
North American Review, asserts that in
the last twenty years the population OF
the United States has risen from 4o,0OO,-
700 to 100000 souls-an increase of 5S
per cent-and at the same time the valne
of exports has risen 10 per cent-that is,
three times as fast as the population. The
same eminent authority declares that
the quantities of food yearly exported
are sufficient to feed 30,O0O,O0O persons
III Europe. from which it appears that
American farms raise food for 100000
600 of people yearly" With productive
capacity so vastly in excess of the de-
mands of the home market it is evident
that foreign markets must be opened for
our surplus if the country is to enjoy per-
manent prosperity. If the administration
can do this through the gates of recip-
rocity, all right: if not. the country will
lind another way of breaking down the
barriers which choke the channels of dis
ibutiOn.-EXchange

Expectations Increase Under Ding
lev Law.

Not even the satisfaction is left to the
free trade Democrats of saying that the
Wilson law was better for the exporters
of American manufactures than the Ding
ley law. They thought they had things
dead to rights on this score, and that as
soon as the new law went into operati
they. would be able to point to the decrease
in the expectations of American manu-
features. but in the very first month of
the new laws operations the expectations
of manufactured articles were larger than
in the corresponding month of any for
mer year. This is disappointing to these
gentry, and somewhat amusing, in con-
nectiOn with their walls of regret that
such a wicked measure should be enacted
as the Dingley law, which would cut off
our foreign markets.

Faith in the New Tariff.

Inc great business improvement which
the country has seen since last July is due
largely to the feeling among merchants
and business men that the new tariff will
furnish both protection and revenue sufli-
clent to run the Government This sim
pie restoration of confidence has brought
1oTth millions OF dollars and given employ
meht to thousands of hands at improved
wages. 1t has caused unused chimneys

operation. and its revenues are constant
~ increasing month by month and week
by week Yet it is to be expected the
democrats will say that the Dingley law
mas nothing to do with the Improvement.

Good Times for Farmers.

Comptroller Eckeis of the Treasury De-
partment says that the conditions through
out the country are most satisfactory
The improvement has come rapidly and
permeates all lines of industry. 1t began
with the agricultural classes. The farm
ers have good crops and are getting high
prices for them. The cattle raisers are
benefited by substantial rise in the price
of cattle. The same is true with the sheep
raisers. This improvement in agricultural
earnings has had its effect on the rail
roads by increasing their earnings. 1t
has put money into circulation and has
enabled people to discharge their debts
and thereby benefited the merchants.

What's the Matter with Gold?'

We have coined about S10O,0C0,0OO OF
silver. We have now over $500, 0OO,OOO
of gold. Silver will sell for the cost OF
production at the mines, and it is being
mined now profitably in many mines. Free
coinage at Is to / would deprive us of our
gold currency and bring the country to a
silver basis while all the nations we need
deal with pay us gold. The hard times
Just vanishing were not caused by any
legislation regarding currency, as other
people have claimed. The farmers bring
we get pay for grains. meats, dairy pro-
ducts, etc, in gold. Some people advise
us to insist on getting our pay in silver.
mats the matter with gold? 1t goes;
1t Is all our foreign customers have to
pay us with. Nobody refuses it here. We
deal IN gold values now, do business with
1t. Why interrupt coming prosperity
with divided counsels over IA change to
silver values that would relegate gold to
the safety deposit vaults? Gold is an
American product, increasing every day
from Alaska to Tennessee. Gold, and pa
per representing it, are good the world
over. We have perhaps $1O0,0O0,OOO of
silver in circulation. 1t pays debts be-
cause redeemable in gold. Its certlh-
Gates are good and in national use. Our
greenbacks are good because redeemable
IN gold. We have plenty of currency, all
good. all interchangeable. Why should
we inquire farther into currency! 1t Is
merely the measuring stick of exchange.

Blind. but Still Shouting

The fact that the gold mines of the
world are now producing more than
enough gold to furnish the currency nee
essary to keep pace with the growth of
population does not disturb the silver
mine owners, who are clamoring for the
use of their metal for currency 1t has
recently been shown that the cost of pro-
ducing the amount of silver required for a
silver dollar is on an average about twen-
ty cents, but Notwithstanding this they
go calmly on insisting that their metal
shall be used for making dollars at a
cost of twenty cents apiece, despite the
fact that sufficient gold is now being min
ed to meet the requirements of commerce
and business.

No Retaliation

Not so much is being heard now from
Democrats as a short time ago about the
retaliation of foreign countries against
the provisions of our new tariff measure.
A great deal was said about the injury
to our export trade which would result
from the action which foreigners would
feel obliged to take to offset the results
of the new tariff; but official figures now
show that our exports of grain and man.
ufactured articles continue right along
in spite of the new tariff, and, in fact.
that they are increasing rather than de-
creasing under it.
