Farming in New Mexico.

Wheat is quoted in Chicago at 50
cents and corn at % That means on
the Nebraska farm about 30 and 10
cents respectively. Just here is where
the farmer in the arid region beats his
eastern contemporary. As the larger
part of the people in the arid belt do
not farm, and can not for lack OF water,
there is little competition. The people
of the mines, the cattle ranches and the
towns eagerly buy all the farm pro-
ducts. The supplies from the east
have heavy freight charges added,
often largely in excess of their original
value. The corn that sells for - cents
per bushel may bring in the west 10
cents per bushel The farmer only has
co meet the rate in order to control the
nome markets.-Eddy Argus.

The report from New York that the
trunk lines have determined to abolish
the terminal charges in that city is of
great interest to the freight officials of
the south and west. The com petition
Of the southern roads, it is said, was
beginning to be so heavy that eastern
lines were compelled to take action in
defense of their own interests The
fact that in the month Of October m"re
corn was shipped from New Orleans
than from New York was something of
an eye opener to the western roads and
the additional fact that the shipmen S
of corn from Baltimore for the month
were more than double what they had
been for the same month | s. year
decided the roads which have felt the
competition of the southern roads most
keenly during the last year, Eow think
that the eastern connections VIII wake
up to the fact that they must fight hard
to hold their traffic against the south
ern roads ana ports and that they will
not be so slow to help them in the
future when they ask for aid In
meeting the rates made by the south
ern lines on both freight and passenger
traffic via New Orleans and other gulf
ports.

WHY PAY INTEREST TO EUROPE?

When business confidence is unshak-
en- and public credit unquestioned.
experience teaches US that private
capital is eager for investment. In
terest is low and consumption is large.
The money paid out in the construction
of new improvem ents finds it's way into
the channels of trade, and. being
turned over and over again, begets
more frequent profits and larger saw
ings, which constitute new capital
ready for investment in additional i'm
provemeuts. Thus, if the development
of our country, with its great and
unparalleled natural resources, could
take place steadily and without inter
ference from financial mislegislation, it
could not fail to grow immensely
wealthy All the foreign borrowed
capital, estimated at over 81, 900, 600, 600
would ne gradually repaid, leaving
the nation free from obligations, pri-
vate or public, to any capitalists but
it's own. We could keep the interest
at home, as the rich European creditor
nations do. We should aim to attain
the greatest prosperity and the largest
measure of political and industrial
independence by wise economy aud
saving, and not by the political nos
trums or permanent protective tariffs
and fat money.
Be it remembered, as an instance
and illustration, that Germany in the
beginning OF its modern industrial i'm
provemeut and before the railroad era,
was a comparatively poor country,
with only the small resources of an ag-
gricultural nation. 1t had not at the
end of the Napoleanic wars, the popu-
lation or the wealth even that it had
at the end of the sixteenth century,
when it was the richest country in
Europe, when it had the largest and
most highly developed manufactures,
the most extensive continental COM
merce, and the greatest banking hous-
es, and when the greater part of the
gold and silver wealth of newly-dis-
covered America had found its way
through the spendthrift Spanish chan
nels into the strong chests of its thrifty
and Industrious burghers and mer-
chants. The incessant wars and de-
vastation, beginning with the thirty
years war, and lasting well into this
century, reduced the population and
led the country to state of poverty,
from which it began 10 emerge only
sixty years ago. In the beginning of
the 7Os, Germany was yet deep in debt
to other nations A large part of the
government debts, and of its railroads,
water and gas works, and other like
renuuerative investments, were own
ed by foreign capital-mostly English,
Dutch and French. Twenty-Five years
of uninterrupted peace enabled it not
only to repay all foreign capital it had
borrowed, but to accumulate more
than enough for internal improvements
some on a vast and unparalleled scale,
and its banks and capitalists have made
large investments-not always profit
able-in Australia, Africa, South
America and the United States. No
foreign capital cap find investment in

Germany any longer. If all this was
accomplished by a'nation main tanning a
large standing army, what could not
be accomplished by the United States
infinitely richer in resources, if its
natural development were not artif-
cially interferred with by ignorant
legislation and agitation. Not only
would the United States likewise be
able to pay back in less than twenty
five years all the vast sums Of capital
borrowed abroad, butt it would gradual
ly and surely change from the largest
debtor nation, which it now is, to the
wealthiest creditor nation OF the world
and thus become the most influential
promoter of civilization in its highest
sense, the most powerful republic and
agency standing for peace.-Engineer.

THE CREEDS OF PRESIDENTS.
Mckinley Is the Third Methodist
Eight Have Keen EpiscOpaliaDs

Foundry church, Washington, which
was described to the readers of the
Press not long ago, will be the church
which Mr.. Mckinley will attend after
his inauguration. says the New York
Press. He will be the third Methodist
among the presidents of the United
States. There have been, besides,
eight Protestant Episcopalians, six
Presbyterians, two Unitarians, one
Christian, and one Free Thinker.
. Washington used to go to one or an
other OF the Episcopal churches in
, Philadelphia. John Adams was the
first president at Washington. He was
Unitarian, and as there was not a
church of his denomination in the capt
tai in those days, he did not identify
himself with any place of worship.
Thomas jefferson believed with
Thomas Paine that man should be
guided by his own reason rather than
by the reason of others, therefore he
didn't go to church. Madison went to
some of his famous doctrine while
sitting in the same pew Madison had
used. In 1919 st. Johns set apart
pew No for the especial use of the
president of the United States.
John Quincy Adams, like his father,
the shoemaker, was Unitarian He,
with others, founded the Unitarian
cnurch, whose congregation met IN the
building now Used by the police court.
Jackson went to the Presbyterian
church on Four-and-a-half street, which
was built in his term of office, and to
St. Johns church. Van Buren, went to
St. Johns. William Henry Harrison,
whose grandson was also president,
went to the F street Presbyterian
church, now Willard hall. The F
street congregation has lost its identity
by joining the New York Avenue
church.
Tyler went to ST. Johns Episcopal
church; Polk to the F stree t and to the
Four-and-a-half street Presbyterian
churches. Buchanan went to St
Johns. The tall, grant figure of Pres
ident Lincoln was seen on Sundays iu a
pew of the New York Avenue church.
johnson attended st. Johns. Grant
made the fame and wealth of Metro
politan Methodist Episcopal church by
his regular attendance there.
Hayes went to the Foundry church.
Mrs. Hayes was active in all church
affairs. Her church life in Washing
ton was as plain and simple as it was in
her home in Ohio.
Garfield attended the Vermont Ave
nue. Christian church, and preached
occasionally from the pulpit. Arthur
went TO St. Johns. Cleveland has
been a regular communicate at the
Four and-ahalf Street Presbyterian.
President Harrison attended the Pres
, byterian church of the Covenant, on
Connecticut avenue.

President DiaZ.

The New York Press Tip of-the
Tongue" man says of President DIaz
that he is an autOcrat: that his power
is more like that of an emperor than of
the chief executive of a republic. If g.
newspaper says anything derogatory
of him, the office Is destroyed at once
and the editor Is cast into prison, and
he gives as d reason that the MeXicaDs
are so bloodthirsty and dynamitish that
an instruction could be started by one
good editorial against the government
Old man Dtaz sees that the editor al is
not published. DIaz Is handling a
tough generation There are three
classes IN Mexico: loyal Mexicans, the
scions of the old first fam lilies that be-
lieve still in the imperial government
and church RUE, mixed, and they are
ready for ii row at anytime. DlaZ intends
to steady the government through to a
point where an insurrectiOn will not
hurt it, and he knows it is idle and abb
soIuteiy useless To appear to the gener-
Gus sentiments of those men; that they
respect nothing but force.
DiaZ himself is a protestant; his wife
is Catholic; most of the cabinet are
Catholics, and though he on mos sub
jects is the most tolerant Of men, he
will not permit Catholic priest to wear
the garb OF a priest ia the City of Mex
L
herself She holds the Catholics in
line, while he tends to the prOtestants,
and that, it is claimed, is one chief
reason for his long lease of power.
Possibly that is true, but our own
Judgment is that the secret of his long
lease of power lies in two facts. One
is that the people, dull as they are, see
progress and see order, and appreciate
the blessings of a country governed by
- i : Il
who is at the head of affairs is a fighter
from away back: that he understands
exactly that war means the killing of
men, and that the moment they rebel
that process will be invoked by gen
eral who knows more than they can
learn, and who, when he strikes blow
strikes to kill.
