Keeping Wealth Distributed.

Out in the Southwest, in, one of the
new settlements, the citizens resolved to
tlke time by the forclock and avoid many
Of the he%art-burnings that are common
further east regarding the distribution
of wealth. A citizen of that locality vis-
iting the East was asked regarding the
practical workings of this new theory in
this community. He was questioned as
to how they were getting along in main
tanning a reasonably fair average in the
acquisition of wealth. He replied that
they were getting along first rate. Don't
you find some, Of your people more enter
prising than others, have a better bust
ness capacity, and acquire more wealth
than others? Yes, we find that OF there.
Don't you also discover that some Of your
people get up earlier in the morning than
others, do more work than others, and so
produce more? Yes, we find that there
too. Then how in the world do you man
age to keep things on the dead level with
regard to the acquisition of property?
Why, 1t is the simplest thing in the world.
When we find q fellow getting ahead of
the rest decidedly, we appoint a good
sized committee which will be able to
meet the occasion, and send them out
there to live with him until they eat him
back.-From address Of Secretary Wilson
at Middlefeld, o., Oct. II, 1897.

Export of Corn.

Corn is about to become one of the food
staples of Europe. In 1882, we exported
75,451,84O bushels of corn and 2S7,6O0
barrels of corn meal. In the last year we
exported 176,919,365 bushels of corn and
475,263 barrels of corn meal.
As all are aware, Europe formerly had
an intense prejudice against American
corn, regarding it as unfit for human food.
This prejudice was largely allayed by u
commission Vel to Europe during Harri-
sons administration for the purpose of
introducing corn us IL food. This commits
sion give lectures about corn, demon
struting It's usefulness as n food by prac-
tical instruction in cooking. As a result
of the work of this commission, u largely
increased demand for corn was created.
The business depression abroad, and the
food shortage in many countries, has caus-
ed corn as u cheap food staple to estab-
lish itself firmly as a permanent food.
There will be an increasing foreign de-
mand for it from now on, and the Ameri-
can overproduction will each year find
more of u sale awaiting for. it in European
markets. This means a better price for
the farmer. The commission, discontin-
ued during Cleveland's administration,
should be re-established in the interest
of the American farmer.-Exchange.

What Caused the Change.

What does h~igh-priced cattle and hogs
mean? Simply that more people east Of
the Missouri river are eating meat. Why?
Because they are earning wages. They
are at work. The people who were idle
under the Wilson tariff Of the Popocrats
are employed. The people who were
ting higher wages. What caused the
change! Faith Of business men, capital
lists, employers Of labor and money, in
the Republican party and its well-tried
tariff policy.
The tariff nothing to do with 1t? 1t
has everything to do with it. Canadian
eggs and chickens are shut ont on the
north and Mexican cattle OF the south.
The American market for the American
farmer, is the Republican principle, and
1t is working, al 1t always has worked,
for the welfare Of the nation. Pauper
labor is shut out. Pauper made goods
are shut out. The American market is
reserved for the American laboring man
n the American farmer, and both are
realizing the benefits OF this patriotic,
b~usiness-like policy, tested and indicated
by American history for more than fifty
years.
The Kansas farmer gives away cattle,
hogs. corn, wheat, hay, eggs, butter and
milk in every vote he gives for Organism,
Populism or fusion. 1t is bad business.
No level-headed farmer will permit the
calamity orators for free silver and flee
trade to deceive him again and induce
him by specious but false promises to vote
away his own property and prosperity

We Can Produce Our Own Sugar.

Secretary Wilson, the head OF, the De-
partment of Agriculture, continues his
practical work in pointing out to the farm
ers Of the United States the Importance
Of supplying from their W production
the 500, 100000 worth of articles for
which re send this amount of money
abroad every year. One hundred million
of this is for sugar and the remainder for
hides, fruits. wines, animals, rice, fax,
cheese, grains of various sorts and other
articles which can be produced by the
farmers of this country. His. annual re-
port, which has just been presented to
the President, states that his experiments
thus far with the sugar beet convince him
that the people of the United States can
readily produce all their own sugar,
while nearly all of the other articles of
agricultural production can also be grown
by them. ~

GREAT PRODUCTIVE POWERS.
Results of Protection as Pointed Out
by al English Statistician.


1t is u singular fact that the people of
the United States are more indebted to
an English writer than to any American
for information concerning the Industrial
and commercial resources and progress
of their country. The papers published
by Mr.. Mulhall during the past ten or
twelve months have been n revelation to
even the most intelligent Americans of a
%vastness of wealth and power in the
United States of which they had no pre-
vious conception. In the North Ameri-
can Review" for November Mr.. Mulhall
presents an interesting summary of the
results of American trade for thirty
years. in which he says: 1.-The world ls
only beginning to have evidence Of the
enormous productive power Of the United
States"
Our farms, he says, raise food for 10O,-
OoO,OOO OF persons every year. He shows
that in twenty years our production Of
grain hasNincreased a per cent and that
Of meat u per cent. In the same time
the cotton crop in the South has increased
l25 per cent, and that, it seems to us, is
quite sufficient to account for the low
price of cotton as compared with other
great staples. It is probable that the
people Of the cotton States would have
been nor prosperous had they been con-
tent with less increase of production. Mr..
Mulhall does not find any indication that
our are approaching a period
OF depletion, but confidently predicts that
our exports of food and cotton will in
crease with u growth in population.
This, increase in u expectation has been
coincident with a wonderful development
In our internal trade, which, Mr.. Mulhall
says, "is the best gauge of national pro-
gress, because 1t reflects the power, en-
ergy resources of a people,"
Our free trade friends will not fail to
note the significant fact that all this adj

More Democratic Tariff Bluste,

o VAfl0 buster.
The wall Of the free traders over the
supposed increase in prices under the pro-
tective tariff is not fully justified by the
facts. A recent investigation by the New
York Tribune shows that the advance in
the price OF articles imported, basing the
estimate on the net change in some thou
sands of articles, is less than I per cent.
The Tribune finds In the same investga-
ton that there is a marked increase In
the prices Of farm products generally.
When the increase In earnings Of those
employed in the manufacturing lines and
the increased profits which those engaged
in agriculture make, are considered, 1t 10
easy to see that the slight increase in
prices OF the class Of goods affected by the
tariff Is far o than balanced. by the
gain In earnings OF those employed in

MEASURES PASSED
Resume Of Work Accomplished During the
Present Session

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S-Speaker
Reed and the other representative lead
ers of the house entered upon the final
session of the Fifty-fourth congress-
with the avowed determination that no
legislation which compelled expenditure
of public money should be enacted dur
ing the session. They felt compelled to
adopt this policy because of the con-
dition of the treasury, and they have
generally adhered to it, although the
appropriation bills for the support of the
government have brought the total ap-
propriations of this congress far beyond
the billion mark, breaking the record
of former congresses. Many of the ap-
propriations, notably those for river and
harbor improvements and for public
buildings, were necessary to continue
works authorized by other congresses.
No public buildings have been started
by congress at this session, and no new
battleships or vessels of any descrip-
tion, although the creation of a new
navy" begun several years agCs has by
no means been abandoned. The inten-
tion of the house leaders al the begin
ming of the session was TO confine the
work so far as possible to appropriation
bills. and they have been successful in
living up to their policy. These bills.
moreover have been encumbered with
fewer new projects and general legis-
lation than usual. The last week of the
session begins with several of the ap.
proprlation bills passed by the senate.
Much of the time of that body has been
consumed in the discussion of the Gu
ban question, which the house has dealt
with only incidentally Necessarily
the policy of the house to avoid new
legislation which involved expenditure
has been enforced upon the senate The
Nicaragua canal bill. which was dis
cussed at great length in the senate but
not acted upon, was taken up in the
house, nor has the free home bill, which
the senate passed. had a hearing at
the other end of the capitol. The Pacific
railroad funding bill met decisive de-
feat in the house, so the senate found it
unnecessary to discuss that proposition.
One feature os the session worthy of
note is the great number of private pen
sion bills passed, many of them placing
the widows of officers on the pension
rolls at ratings ranging from $50 to SIS
a month. Private claims and war claims,
on the other hand, have been few. Sew
eral of the pension bills were vetoed by
President Cleveland, but congress en-
acted some of these despite the veto by
the necessary two-thirds majority.
Several important bills are in the
