Kafiir villages and into the midst of King
Ksama's country. He found that the

WHY DO NOT FARMERS PROSPER?

The man who asks, why do not
farmers prosper? need not wait long
shivering in the norther for an ans
wer. The farmer does prosper where
ever he has intelligently diversified
his crops so as to diversity his re-
ceipts from his labor and his invest
ments in his SOIL The wheat and corn
men, as well as the apple and oota-
to men, join hands with the cattle
and sheep men in singing the praise
of prosperity. No wise gambler stakes
his all on one card or throw, and no
wise farmer puts all of his years re-
turns in pawn to one particular crop.
Politics has nothing to do with II.
The fool talk about the currency be-
ing the cause of the farmers lack of
prosperity might as well be whistled
down the wind. There is the same cur
rency now that there was two years
ago when all the United States were
crying out against the hard times.
Texas cattlemen are handling the same
kind of cash today that they were
when calves were not counted in a
cattle sale, and today these calves are
picking them up at that price where
ever they can find them. Conditions
have changed in the revenue quarter
and confidence is restored in the fl
nances of the country. Gold is. coming
in instead of going out and bonds are
not issued in the time of peace to car
ry on the business of the country.
Legislation has taken the saddle off
the British nag and put it on the
American horse. American labor and
trade and industry and production are
not handicapped in the interest of
the foreign labor and industry and pro-
duction, and the wave of prosperity
flows toward our shores instead of
from them. Cotton will be the last to
feel the stimulus that has been given
to all else, ebecause cotton is the pro-
duct of the free trade regions and the
fixing of it's values is in free trade
hands. When free trade Liverpool
ceases to place a tag on all southern
cotton then the southern cotton grower
can calculate little more accurately
what his cotton is going to bring him
When the American cotton spinnners
take the American cotton crop and
MAKE IL INTO Clotn LOT the markets Oh
the world, then America will fix the
prices of her own cotton bales and the
prosperity that attaches to other agri-
cultural pursuits will not forsake the
cotton fields as it seems to have done
this year. Live and learn. There is
a good time coming for the cotton
farmer as well as for the others, but
it will only come in it's fullness when
the cotton mill takes the cotton bale
right at home and turns it into man
ufactured product. 1t is only a ques-
ton of a little time and this also will
be accomplished.

Canada has no claim upon the Unit
ed States for a single thing other than
is mentioned in the bond. Her whole
course as to the United States has been
marked by the most selfish and aro-
giant spirit, and now she comes unin-
Yited to Washington to try and force
her own ideas of reciprocity and seal
destruction upon the government of
this country, principally because such
reciprocity treaty would cover pre-
mier Laurier with laurels. There is
not one advantage that it is in the
power of Canada to give the United
States through reciprocity treaty, be-
cause this country grows just what
Canada does and to grant her reel
procity would be to open the more val
liable markets of this country to Can
adam trade without any adequate re-
turn. Some lumber and a few fish are
all that Canada has to offer us that We
do not already possess in sufficient
abundance to more than stock our own
markets. Better leave Canada out in
the cold and let her carry her surplus
| to Great Britain and the monarchies of
the old world. u. S. does not want 1t.

There will be no message to congress

which will be sent to congress early
this December. The three great ques-

lations will be dealt with in that in
strument, and the directness of the
presidential mind may be accepted as
affording good ground for believing
that there will be no lodging the is
sue. There may be no end of guesses
as to what the recommendation will
be, but it will fe better to wait and

Turkey is struting all around the
barn yard and shaking her wattles in
the fact of the British lion. She is en-
boldened by late events in Europe, par
ticularly by the countenance that she
has received from Germany, to treat
the British people and the nation at
large with that which borders so near
ly on contempt that it is calling TO
British pride. She repudiates her COM
mercial agreements with England and
when demonstrated with refuses any
explanation, continuing in the old UNI
satisfactory way. John Bull is not go
ing to stand this for long, and again
the peace of Europe may be threatened
by the cantankerousness of the sick
man who lives at Constantinople.

The mine owners of Illinois are only
counting danger of the worst kind in
their attempt to man their works with
Chinese protected by the. muzzle load
ers of deputies and detectives. There
will be an uprising of all the white
mine labor of the country against such
an innovation. The movement is di-
rectly contrary to what the Congress
of the country has decreed as to the
status of these heathens, and some d.
rect prohibition of this attempt should
be made by competent authority. There
is not force enough in Illinois to guard
the mines worked by Chinese. Let the
conflict once come and American cit
liens be shot down by these leprous
ours and there will be such a reckon
! ing with the heather that there will
be no need for Uncle Sam deporting
| them.
