Much Money for Farmers.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Assistant See
retary Brigham, of the Agricultural de-
partment, 10 day expressed the opinion
that American farmers this year would
receive from four to five hundred million
dollars in excess of that received last
year for their farm products This" he
said, ''means much to the farmer. They
have learned in the season Of hard times
through which they have passed to econ
omize where they could and TO be careful
In buying. They viii use this money
they receive for their crops TO pay of
their debts. cancel mortgages and in
making improvements on the farm and
the farm buildings. This seems like a
vast sum, but statistics sustain the
claim"
Col. Brigham also predicted that the
increase in the price OF farm products
would benefit the laboring element.
''The price of labor" he said, "did not
decline with the price of farm products
and for some time the farmer was forced
to pay as much for the services of those
who did this work as ever. while his re-
ceipts were cut in two. Inasmuch as
wages did not decline, | see no reason
why they should rise to correspond with
the advance of farm products, which are
now bringing only fair prices. Still the
laboring men viii be benefited by this
advance in prices. The farmer will dis
charge his Indebtedness and make i'm
provements which viii require labor,
putting a vast amount of money in circu-
lat ion, and this will create demand for
labor in all lines, and men who have
been without employment or only par
TALLY employed will work full time at
fair wages"

their removal, and its early use can not

Alien Tar Law.

PIrTsBURG. Aug. S.-Judge AchesOn
has rendered a decision in tine United
States Circuit Court declaring the alien
tax law unconstitutional. After reoiting
the provisions Of the act, the Judge con-
cludes:
As the employer Is authorized to de-
duct from the wages Of the employe the
prescribed tax, tits quite clear that the
tax is upon the employe, and not upon
the employer. The court is here called
upon 10 consider whether these provi-
sioas Of this act are In conflict with the
United States Constitution. The four
teeuth amendment TO the Constitution
Of the United States declares, "nor shall
any State deprive any person of life, lib
erty or property without due process of
law, nor deny 10 any person within its
jurisdiction the equal protection of the
laws"
