THE FARMERS.

The agricultural interests are at the
base of all prosperity and of all pos
sibilities Ct creating a commonwealth.
And this must be so because upon them
depends the food of mankind. This be-
ing so, the condition of the farmers and
their standard of living are matters
of common concern and whenever the
one is improved the other is almost
certain to be raised.
In a recent interview Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson talked of the farm
ers and contrasted their present stand
ard of living with what it formerly was.
He started out by saying he objected
to the talk he hears about the ex-
travagance Of farmers. "A farmer
said he, has the right to live as well
as anybody, provided he can afford the
expense, and I never yet have known
a man to mortgage mis- farm to pay
household expenses. The condition of
our farmers is growing better and bet
ter all the time, and 1 like to see it.
Formerly they used to have a home
made rag carpet in the parlor and bare
floors over all the rest of the house.
Now they have pretty Brussels car
pets and have sent the rag carpets to
the chambers. Formerly people went
to church and to town in lumber wag-
ons. and if they were pretty we'll off
they had spring seats. Now nearly
every farmer out in my country has a
and handsome set OF har-
ness. Formerly it used to be the
height of a woman's ambition to have
a meiodeon or a cabinet organ. Now
she must have piano. Formerly the
girls made their own clothes: now they
have their Sunday gowns cut out by
the dressmaker in the nearest town.
they still do the stitching
themselves. And they are ali the BET
ter for it. This advance has harmed
nobody and has brought n great deal
0f happiness. Il is the result Of edu-
cation and refinement and the eieva-
ton OF the taste, and I do not think
those qualities are any more out CT
place in a farmhouse than in a brown
stone palace in the city While these
advantages and enjoyments have added

to the peorhouse on that account The
same degree of intelligence is just IS
valuable on farm as in a counting
house or mandatory. and the mort
cages that lie upol the farms OF Iowa
are net due TO extravaganza, but to
improvements They represent more
land and improved implements ard
fine cattle and horses. The farmer
gets q better crop and more of it, ard
ne keeps adding to his own wealth as
well as TO the wealth of the nation"
The secretary has the farmers Of
Iowa in mind, no doubt, but what he
says as TO their improved standard Of
living is largely true of the farmers
everywhere. 1t is in Utah. They are
not prosperous at present and haven't
been for long time, but their stand
ard Of living has become higher and
higher. And it is right that it Should.
Inc life Of the actual farmer is a hard
one and whatever will make it pleas

dren ne should get it if he can afford it.

THE SPANISH EMBASSY.

When the administra ton appointed a
special embassy to attend Queen Vic
toria's jubilee there was some criticism
of its action in various quarters. But
it seems that the results have more
than justified the appointment BY the
queen and the English people it has
been regarded as a special mark of
friendship and good wifi on the part of
the United States, and such it is 1t
is highly desirable that the relations of
this country to all others be of the
friendliest kind possible, but with none
more so than with the British govern
ment The ties of blood and the ties
Of political ideals make this especially
so. American history and the develop
ment of American political ideals are
a branch of the history and develop
ment of English political ideals. And
the conquerlng force of the American
people as nation builders came to them
through Anglo-Saxon channels.
Such a Jubilee as that just celebrated
in England is unique in history, and it
was due to the greatness of this coun-
try that it be fittingly represented at
it. And it was. And no American with
a proper spirit of patriotism in him but
will be glad that it was ittingly repre-
sented.

AMERICAN COLONIZATION
METHODS.


The characteristics Of race persist
for generations and generations, and
| though they may slumber for long
periods, yet viii they reappear when
occasion shall arise to call them forth.
The persistence Of tho characteristics
of the Anglo-Saxon race is strongly
evidenced in the proposed annexation
! of the Hawaiian islands. Like their
! English ancestors. and their English
/ cousins. American colonists go forth
! and plant themselves in a country,
usually untamed and uncivilized, and
after conquering it for themselves and
having imposed their political ideas
upon it, they then desire to incorporate
it with the mother country This was
what was done in Texas and to a very
large extent in Oregon. 1t was this
same instict that led Americans
through the Cumberland Gap and down
the Ohio ana Mississippi to Spanish
territory. And there is little doubt
that if Jefferson had not negotiated
the Louisiana purchase the American
people would very soon have begun 10
settle in French territory, and when
they had become a power there they
would have set up their own praoti-
cal institutions and eventually have
become connected with the United
States. Without the war with Mexico
it is more than likely that Upper Cal
ifornia and New Mexico would have
become Americanized and have become
part of the United States. Even when
ceded to this country they had already
become more or less Americanized.
In all these cases the colonists have
gone first and the government has fol-
lowed. And this explains their success.
In this respect the American and the
English methods of colonization are
reverse of those adopted by France
and Germany. Germany has only
sought to become a colonizing nation
within a quarter of a century. but she
has adopted the old French method OF
sending her officials, with all their red !
tape and paraphernalia first, expecting |
the colonists to follow. Thus far they |
that the French and German methods (
of colonizing are artificial, while those |
of England and American are natural. /
The true colonist seeks to establish |
himself in a new land, there to put in
practice his ideas and to live his life
according to his own notions. AS adj
the French have had no SUI
periors in America, and in the seven
tenth century they were we'll ac-
quainted with regions of North Amer
lea that were a shut book to the Eng
fish. But where the English planted
there they stayed and
thrived and spread; and this it is that
marks the dihenerce between adven-
turers and colonists.
No matter what view one may take
IF the revolution whereby Americans
get control of Hawaii or of the prop
0sition TO annex that country to the
United States, it is an easy matter to
race the same methods, to a large ex-
-ent, that nave characterized American
expansion everywhere. And they are =
IDENTICAL with those of our colonizing
ancestors in many respects. 1t is by
10 means difficult to trace the same
'aoial instincts in the Dole revolution
md the jameson raid. In both cases
here were chips from the old Anglo /
saxon block.

TIE MOON.

Ny soul was like the sea
Before the moon was made:
Moaning in vague immensity
Oi its own strength afraid.
Unrestful and unstaid.
Through every rift foamed in vain
About its earthly prison,
Seeking some unknown thing in pain
Ard sinking restless back again,
For yet no moon had risen:
Its only voice vast dumb moan
or utterless anguish speaking,
It lay unhopefuliy alone
And lived but in an aimless seeking.
So was my soul; but when twas full
OF unrest to o'erloading.
a voice of something beautiful
Whispered a dim foreboding.
And vet so soft. so sweet. so low.
It had not more of joy than woe:
And. as the sea doth oft lie still,
Making his waters meet.
AS If by an unconscious Will.
For the moons silver feet,
So lay my soul within mine eyes
When thou its guardian moon didst rise.
And now. howeer it's waves above
May toss and seem Hneaseful,
one strong. eternal law of love
With guidance sure and peaceful,
AS calm and natural as breath
Moves its great deeps through Life and
Death.

COMMERCIAL WARFARE.

In the debate in the senate last Fri
day. Senator Morgan declared that the
tariff bill now before that body marked
the entry Of the United States upon q
fierce and relentless commercial war
fare with the rest OF the world.
Ii IS to be feared that he spoke only
too truly Long before it has become q
law, numerous protests, from friendly
countries, have been made against #.
And the protests have been strong and
vigorous. If they are not heed
ed, as it is almost certain they
VIII not be, it is but natural to
suppose that the governments making
them will retaliate by enacting such
laws as will discriminate against the
products of the United States. And
when once such a course is entered
upon it will be useless for this govern
ment to invoke the most favored nation
clause of its treaties, for there is moth
ing easier in the world than to place
two constructions upon the same in
strument; and then to carry on a dis
pute for years and years as to which
is the proper one.
Not only this. but where a country
adopts commercial policy against
which almost all nations protest, if it
persists in adhering to it, those nations
are going to seek new markets in which
to buy as well as TO sell. Such a policy
encourages that very competition
which is its avowed object to avoid.
nf ri
tional dislikes and jealousies that did
not exist before and which may, in
time, become active enmities Com
mercial warfare is only less to be dep
recated than physical warfare.

The Philadelphia Record thinks it is
rather difficult TO understand how an
arbitration treaty between Great Brit
ain and the United States could be
drawn that would prove acceptable to
the senate, and yet would not involve
surrender of the vital principles Of arbi-
tration. Notwithstanding, President
Mckinley is reported to have deter
mined to accomplish the task; indeed.
the draft OF new convention is said
to have been practically completed from
which the points which caused the fail
ure Of the Olney- Pauncefote treaty
have been eliminated. and yet the ad-
vantages of a workable scheme of gen
eral arbitration preserved. Experience
has justified a considerable amount of
skepticism concerning the possibility of
reconciling a really useful plan of arbi-
tration with the present senates jeal-
Gus regard for its prerogative, and par
ticularly for its right to twist the Brit
ish lions tail. Nevertheless, President
McKinleys efforts 10 this end will en-
list the sympathy of all those who be-
lieve that the wager of battle is the
method OF the savage in deciding a
controversy. whether the parties there
to be individuals or nations.
All this may be so, but in the making
of arbitration treaties it is always well,
as in everything else, to try again if
at first YOU don't succeed.
