tells where prosperity emanates
and the goodness of an overruling
Providence.
GAS nothing whatever has been
done on the money question except
in the accentuation Of the agita-
tion in behalf of reform, the cause
for any change for the better must
be attributed to what has been
done in other directions. But two
agencies have accomplished any
substantial results in the way OF
alteration Of conditions that have
existed for the past several years
one has been protection and the
other has been Providence, Pro-
lection has been crowned as king at
the national capital, and it now
reins supreme over the land, Prov
idence has been more bountiiul
than for many years in its distribu-
tion Of abundant crops, The wheat
crop is not only one Of lthe largest
made, but the good fortune OF the
American wheat grower Is IN pro-
portion to the evil which has befal-
len the wheat growers of other
countries, In all the wheat grow
ing countries of the world, except
the United States, the wheat crop
is unusually short, Under ordinary
conditions an unusually large crop
of wheat grown here means low
prices in adverse ratio to the In
crease Of the crop over that eXpec-
ted under normal conditions, This
year, however, the crop is not only
abnormally large, but failure else
where has made the world depen'
dent to a greater extent than usu-
al upon the American crop; and
hence prices have been raised ac'
cordingly, The cotton crop is
bringing better prices than usual
with new cotton, on account OF the
increased demand for the raw ma
terial The grain crop elsewhere Is
reported to be much better than
usual,
"Taking all things into consldera-
tIon, the condition OF the farmer
who has been forced to live on his
own resources is better than that
of many of his business brothers en-
gagged In manufacturing, industrial
or commercial pursuits and who
have been squeezed to the wall by
the exlgeneies of business condi-
tions during the past lew years,
Not being able to get money the
farmer has had to obtain the neces-
stiles Of life without III and now
that he Ia blessed with the most
bountiful crops this country has
known for years, he Is inclined to
ask himself If Providence has not
really taken a hand in his deliver
ance,
"The Constitution beliyes that
what change there has been for the
better IL due to Providence rather
than to protection, As the Lord
led the suffering lsraelIteal 80 has
he now impaired unto the people
renewed confidence and energy In
fields burdened with energy and
guaranteeing a harvest which by
fortunate conditions here, will give
to the farmer prices far above those
he might have expected year ago
"With crop conditions no better
than year ago, the DIugIey bill or
other protection legislation would
have brought even the suggestion
OF better times With crop eondl-
tions as they are today, better
times are the first direct result and
aud they came, not ON account Of
but In suite of the protection legle-
latiou which proposes to make peo-
pie more prosperous by increasing
their burdens aud making them pay
more for those things which they
