REPUBLICAN OPINION.

Ex-Candidate Bryan seems to be Ct
the impression that he and silver are
THE Democratic party. Despite the
fact that such time honored and expe-
rienced leaders as Senator German and
Chairman Jones and others, who were
active in political life before Bryan was
born, have urged the abandonment OF
the silver issues in New York. Mr..
Bryan has written letter urging just
the reverse of this. In that letter he
insists that the Democrats Of Greater
New York should, and indeed must, en-
dorse the national platform, which. OF
course, means the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of Is to

from s up to so per cent of the prod
ucl of every crop according to the ia
CITIES given to the tenant, and this
system of working on shares is by far
the most usual, and seems to be suited
to the present state of the country.
If the tenant is poor man the land
owner may build the very simple mud
house that shelters the family and also
supply bullocks, plows. seed and sup
plies until the first harvest, and the
landlord then takes so per cent of the
crop, but if only the use of land is
given to 1 per cent of the produce
goes to the land owner as rent; his pro-
portion is naturally larger on land that
is in a specially favorable position. If
the crop is failure the tenant may
skip, having lost year, but the land
owner has had his land broken up, and
is content to put that advantage against
his money loss.
The family would provide themselves
with vegetables from the farm, and
other household expenses and neces-
sary clothing would cost about G2 per
month, and can be reduced according
to the frugality and meanness of the
family.
Good land situated conveniently near
to railway station and within 100
miles of port, may be valued at Ell IS
gold per acre, and the farm can be
worked by the colonist, assisted by a
young son and by one hired peon all
the year round, and by two extra poems
at harvest. About ITS acres can be
sown with wheat. and the remainder
of the land used for pasturing the ami
mails and growing little maize (corn).
Housework will be done by the wife,
The Globe-republican., 1897-10-28

who also looks after some cows and
poultry.
Owing to the want of accurate infor-
nation from the multitude of small
farms, it is very difficult to say what
the average yield per acre really is in
any year, and, although it has been
customary to consider that the aver
age Santa Fe is not over 10 to II BUSH
els per acre (similar to United States
averages), probably Is bushels is near
er the mark for the entire country and
Is for good farms; because, in recent
years, farmers have often threshed out
rs bushels, and sometimes up to IS and
even As bushels, while anything under
10 bushels is exceptional now that
farming has improved somewhat.

ABOUT CHEAP WHEAT
pRopUcr OF ARcsNr,NA
GROWN BY PEON LABOR.
xt1mitive Methods Of italian Farmer
-Favorable Soil and Seasons, Cheap
Labor and Long Hours-FactoFs That
Regulate Market Prices.

As the future price of wheat is main
ly dependent upon the Argentina wheat
crop, to be harvested about December
next,it is interesting to study the meth
DDS of cultivation there. The South
American wheat farms are mostly held
by Italians who use peon labor Their
methods are primitive and of the
cheapest character, and their expenses
are very small.
That portion of the Argentine repub-
lie at present devoted to wheat culture
includes the provinces of Santa Fe,
Buenos Ayres and Entire Rios. with the
south portion of the PROVINCE Of Cor
doba (the province corresponding to
the state" in the United States). and
the total area Of this stretch of country
Is about equal to the combined areas Of
England and France. Only about one
third of the land within convenient
distance of railways already construct
ed being as yet under cultivation, it is
obvious that there is room for consid
cradle development even under the
present conditions of transportation.
The surface of this great section of
country is level and free from stones,
devoid of timber. with few streams,
having rich soil. temperate climate
average summer temperature "a de-
grees F., and average winter tempera-
ture 81 degrees F.), and usually plen-
tiful rainfall, also during the spring
months constantly recurring night
dews.
The general character of the soil is
the same in all parts. varying some
what in fertility according to the near
ness to or remoteness from the great
river Parana or the estuary known as
River Plate. The soil is composed Of
loose vegetable layer of black loan Of 6
to 36 inches in depth, and under this
layer is usually found a deep subsoil
of a clayey, sandy character, and, lower
still, hard clay. This last named STRAIT
UNI holds the rainfall, enabling the
ground to stand long drought without
seriously affecting the roots of the
wheat plant.
1t can be safely stated that an aver
age of favorable seasons may be looked
The Globe-republican., 1897-10-28

for, and that serious failure Of the
crop, as in the year 1889, when, owing
to damage by rain, the export surplus
only amounted to 100000 quarters, is
unlikely to recur. because the wheat
growing area has extended to such an
extent that it measures some $50 miles
from north to south, and $50 miles east
and west. with somewhat different eli
mates, and including districts as far
apart as London and Madrid. or Min
nesota and Louisiana.
The earliest settlers were Swiss, and
colonists of that nationality are today
among the best farmers in the country,
living well in every way and proving
themselves successful agriculturists.
The small farmers throughout the
country are almost always Italians, who
originally came from Piedmont or the
plains of Lombardy, very few having
either previous knowledge of agricul-
ture CT any capital to start with, but
they are keen for money, and work
hard in their own way, having quite
enough sense to learn from experience
by slow degrees the best way to grow
wheat, although they are desperately
mean in any expenditure, and have q
strong inclination always to increase
their acreage and trust to favorable
season.
BY working fifteen or sixteen hours
one man can pillow two or two and a
half acres per diem with a single pillow,
or four or five acres on broken land
with double pillow. and If provided
with sufficient bullocks, and urged to
dc SO by good condition of the land and
suitable weather, will keep up this
work for considerable time.
At very few of the 200 to 300 railway
stations where wheat is shipped are
found more than the most necessary
buildings, such as one or two general
stores, bakeries and smithfes. and,
very much to the disappointment of the
buyers Of station lots. there seems no
disposition to build country towns or
create any local industries, except for
the making of simple agricultural i'm
PIGMENTS, and there are no loca. cen
tiers or markets.
Land being very plentiful. and very
easy to work in the Argentine Repub-
lie, family usually take up from $50
to 400 acres. and cultivates as mucn
as they can. The land Is bought some
times for cash. or more usually to be
paid for by installments spread ever
four to seven years; or Is rented by
yearly tenancy; but under . very gen
eral and most convenient arrangement
land owners are almost always willing

cratic circles that there are few Dem
ocrats in New York city and state WHIT
are inclined to the opinion that thu
judgment of such men as Mr.. German
Chairman Jones, Ex-Governor Boiei
and other men of long experience i,
quite as valuable as that of the Boy
Orator Of the Platte. What will be the
outcome of it nobody knows nor can
fOretell, though the indications point
to a widening of the breach in Demo-
cratic ranks and loss by Mr.. Bryan Of
very much Of the support and friend
ship of the leaders of the party which
he seemed to have until he chose to
defy them by interfering in New York
election. with which he has no place or
part.
What has become Of that $500.
speech which Mr.. Bryan was to deliver
at the Ohio silver camp-meeting? Also,
what has become of the camp-meeting
itself? 1t seems to have been as fat
a failure as Bryan's paid explanation"
of why silver and wheat have parted
company.
There is something of a contrast be-
tween conditions under the Mckinley
administration and those under the
Cleveland administration. It is but
short time since President Cleveland
was selling bonds to bring gold into
the treasury, while now the Mckinley
administration is actually rejecting Of
fers Of gold which come to 1t from
various parts of the country.
The mad rush of the leaders of the
late Popocracy for new Issue to take
the place of the exploded silver theory
has resulted in the nomination of Hen
ry George for mayor of Greater New
York by large element OF the Demo-
cratic party of that city. Mr.. George.
as is we'll known, is the chief apostle
of the single tax idea, and his nomina-
ton by a large element of the rarty In
that city strengthens the belief which
has been growing for months that the
leaders of that party would adopt the
single tax theory to take the place of
the discarded free silver proposition Of
last year.
The United States had in 1873 Is
cents per capita in silver, and now has
$S.77 per capita. Belgium then had
$2.SS per capita; now she has $S.71 per
capita. Italy had then sc cents per
capita; now she has $1.35. The Meth
erlands had then 1886 per capita; now
she has s11.96. Austria-H Hungary then
had Sill per capita; now she has $2.76.
Australasia had $1.15 per capita; now
she has $149 Sweden in 1873 had SO
cents per capita in silver; now she has
81 per capita. Norway had SO cents
per capita; now 81 per capita. Russia
then had % cents per capita; now 81
cents per capita. The only nations
which have at all decreased are Great
Britain, France, Germany, and Den
mark. Great Britain's per capita is
$2.96 instead of $2.99; that of France
has fallen from 1885 to 1924; that OF
Denmark from $4.16 to $2.35, and that
of Germany from $7.47 to 1920 per cap
tia. This data will be Of interest in
the campaigns of this fall where the
silver question is discussed, il it II
made an issue anywhere again.

Japan Imports Cheap Labor.

Japan N0OoP
It is interesting to note that Japan
Is importing cheap laborers from Korea
to work in her coal mines. Five years
ago, the wages of carpenters were s.
cents a day. Now they advertise that
their wages have risen to 80 cents a day
say Is. Sd. (4O cents in United States
currency. The DOGGY of Japanese
cheap labor, which many English writ
ers are so fond of calling up from the
Ito them) vastly deeps of the unknown
east, is as illusory as any other phan-
tom.-"London and China Telegraph"
Our opinion is that the DOGGY" is
still a living reality. as far as the
United States is concerned. A matter
of 40 cents a day for the wages of car
penters may be an illusory phantom to
the poorly paid carpenters of England.
but while carpenters are earning two
and three dollars a day in the United
States they desire to be protected
against the products of 40 cent
'bogies."
