TOUGH ON THE FARMER.

The American farmers raise
wheat enough to furnish about
twelve bushels for each inhabi-
tant, when five is the limit a man
can eat. Nothing is more certain
than that the surplus American
wheat must find a market abroad
or it will remain practically
worthless in the hands of the pro-
ducers. This ought to be clear
to every farmer. He can not ex-
pect the home people to double
their wheat rations at the hazard
of their lives and he must look to
Europe for his market. The same
state of affairs exists with Amer
lean meats, every farmer knows
this statement to be true in gen.
eral terms. In the face of these
plain facts, what is the Republic
can party offering farmers? More
exclusive home markets. OBJ
viously there is but one way for
the farmers to dispose of their
surplus and that is through trade
with foreign countries, but the
Republican plan is to restrict and
prevent this trade as far as posi-
BILE by putting a high tax on it.
How can a farmer possibly be
benefited by the restriction of the
trade he must depend upon for
his profits? tits impossible to see
how this can be done when the
naked facts are looked at. The
talk about "home markets" may
sound we'll to the farmers but it
will not bear analysis. The peo-
pie now eat all the wheat they
want, because it is the cheapest
food it is possible for them to OBJ
tain. They cannot make a home
market for any more than they
now eat and the population can
not be doubled. If it could be
doubled so as to absorb the pres
ent supply, the farmers could
eaisly produce double the pres
ent product. They are certain to
produce a surplus for many years
and that surplus must find a
market abroad or their crop will
remain a drug on their hands.
Foreigners can not be persuaded
to trade with us unless we trade
with them. That would be con-
trary to nature and if our farm
ers want foreign markets for
their products they should favor
fair exchange with all nations
that want to buy of them.

Representative Champ Clark
with having been engaged in
booming Representative Bailey,

their triumphant campaign for
the election of a democrat to fill
the vacancy in the Missouri dele
CATION in the house. Mr.. Bailey
Says he has no presidential
aspirations, and is in favor of the
nomination of Mr.. Bryan in 1900,
but wishes to serve one term as
speaker of the house, and then
become member of the senate,
which he declares to be "the
greatest legislative body in the
world"

The Galveston News is still
kicking against the State demo-
cratic administration and against
the late State legislature, at
tributing to them such choice
epithets as ''ward heelers and
campaign clap trap manufac-
turers, "simply because they have
seen proper to investigate some
alleged irregularity in the
management of the University of
Texas, a State institution, owned
and operated by the State of
Texas. But then, the News is
not expected to allude favorably
to anything done by democratic
body, no matter in what capa-
city.

THE Suffolk Herald says it is

THE Suffolk Herald says it is
not the scarcity of money that
makes the times hard, but it is
the lack of business, which is
caused by a lack of confidence,
which the Mckinley boom failed
to produce. Another cause of
hard times is the desire or dis
position of some people on small
wages to live at the same rate
they did when salaries were much
higher, and at a rate that equals
or surpasses that of their rich
neighbors.

THIRTEEN colored persons who
formed part of the 200 sent
to Liberia by the international
Emigration Society in March,
1896, arrived at New York on
the 21st aboard the steamship
Liberia. They say that the
scheme has been a total failure,
that most of their neighbors died
of starvation and fever, that the
society did not fulfill the contract
and many members of the ex-
petition are stranded in England,
unable to get back to their homes.

before the thought of what might
come if Americans betrayed their
citizenship-of what might come
to America herself, in whose des-
TIMES are wrapped up our for
tunes, our hopes, our lives; of
what might come to liberty in the
whole world, since liberty for
other nations reads her triumph
of her death in the triumph or
death of liberty in America.
America need not fear. 4
great crisis arises in America,
such as all nations may sooner
or later experience; such as the
enemies of democracy have pre-
! dicted as certain one day to put
an end to American democracy
Lord Macauley imagines a crisis
in America. ''The peril from
which democracy cannot es-
cape" he writes ''will befall it in
a season of hard times, when the
masses of the people will make
use of their political power to de-
spoil the rich and disrupt
society,"
Americans, fear not, Macauley
did not know the people of
America; America is safe, con-
science is on guard.
What will foster conscience In
the citizens of America? 1 an
swer: Religion-the sense of a
supreme legislator, ruling the
whole universe, from the tiniest
flower to the mightiest sun, ruling
man and aggregations of men,
rewarding and furnishing. Pa
triotism is never SO potent as
when it is identified with religion.
After making a plea for the
moral education of the youth and
condemning sensational journal
ism, the archbishop closed as
follows:
Americans, we love America;
we fain would make her great;
our hearts prayer is: May she
not be immortal, to bless during
ages our sons and their sons, and
those that will born of them; to
bless during ages all peoples who
may strive in their own land for
civil and political liberty. Let
us work for America, but remem-
bering that not in sciences and
arts, not in commerce and armies
must her trust be; but in men.
Nothing more significant and
more worthy of our heed than the
words of our own Emerson.
sfThe true test of civilization is
not the census, not the size of
cities, not the crops, no, but the
kind of men the country turns
