WHERE there is opposition to the
annexation or control of the Philip
pine islands by the United States it is
probable II traced to its source to be
found to originate with the Sugar and
Tobacco trusts. The former was op-
posed TO the annexation OF Hawaii and
Thought It's friends in congress secured
for q time the defeat Of the measure.
The %exigencies of war, however, was
more powerful than the trust,
and Hawaii is now a part of the United
States. The same influences are at
work in the Philippine question, and
although it appears at present that a
large majority of the people Of the
United States are in favor Of annexing
the islands-in fact, believe that where
the flag is ono raised it should never
be pulled down-it is possible that the
power of the corporations will bring
about some other solution Of this
problem.

Estimate Too High.

"
Commissioner OF Agriculture H. u.
Thomas states that the estimate of 65,-
100000 bushels of wheat for the crop
Of North Dakota this year made by H.
v. Jones, the crop expert of the Min
ueapolis journal, is too high by IT,
100000 bushels. Mr.. Thomas bases his
statement upon an investigation Of the
fields through the state, and the acre.
age Of wheat in the different counties
as returned to him by the county audi
tors from the figures taken by tho as
SCISSORS. These figures of acreage are
the only ones that are available to any
authority, and they have just been re-
ceived in full, and footed at the office
Of the commissioner.
MI. Thomas says the Red River val
ley in the majority Of instances, will
have an excellent crop. But outside
the Red River valley there will be in
the central part Of the state only q fair
average crop. In the extreme north
ern and southern part of the state the
crop will be very light. An average Of
fourteen bushels to the acre for the
crop through the state, Mr.. Thomas
says, is very liberal. The Journal
estimate was based upon .an acreage OF
100000. This, Mr.. Thomas says, is a
million acres too large. The acreage
last year was about 3,58O,OOO. The in.
crease this year is not as large as many
expected. The figures received from
the auditors show q total wheat acre.
age Of only 3.8l2.56l. At an average Of
only fourteen bushels, the total yield
on this acreage would be about S.,
10000. Allowing for the large acreage

hailed out ,anddamage done by gophers
and other pests. the total crop will not
be far from 100000, in the opinion
Of the commissioner.
The error in estimating the yield at
|65.OOOy0O0, lies in the mistaken estimate
Of the acreage. which. at 100000, was.
nearly q million too large.-Bismarck

.We will control Cuba said Senntor
Mark Hanna at the Aberdeen last
evening. "It makes little difference
now whether the insurgents can main
tain a stable government. In less than
twenty years the United States will
practically own the island. Il will
now require $4,000 men to hold Cuba,
but we will get good returns for our
investment. We have spent s3OO,OOO,-

Senator Hanna arrived in st. Paul in
the private a Minnewaska on the
Northern Pacific at $40 p. m. yester-
day and proceeded to the Aberdeen.
He will today visit Edward Saunders,
harrington and Summit avenues, and
proceed East. In his party were Miss
Ruth Hanna, Mrs. Phelps and Miss Nc
Curdv, Cleveland, Ohio.
Speaking Of Porto Rico, Senator
Hanna said: "It is evident We have q
good.hold in those islands and I am
glad Of it. The Importance of such
possessions from a commercial point
of view cannot be uverestimated. And
we are there to stay. Whether Cuba
is coded to US or not makes little diff
ference. We will control Cuba and we
will control part of the Philippine
islands and we are now on. the eve of a
new era of prosperity. We began the
war on humanitarian grounds, but we
end it by becoming the possessors Of
great territory, important not only on
account of commercial, but also strate-
gic possibilities.
"The United States from this
moment becomes a potent factor in
the international affairs of the world
as it should be. We have lain idle too
long. We have the resources and the
capabilities of being the greatest inter-
national factor in the world and re-
cent circumstances have not only

power but also that we are Obliged to
exercise them. ~

Good Advice.

It is the part of good business judg-
ment for the farmer to sell his wheat
as soon Oh he hauls it to the elevator
OF puts it upon the cars. If he pro-
poses to hold his wheat let him keep il
in the granary on his farm.
Let us follow a load of stored wheat.
The farmer hauls 1t to the elevator
and dumps it into the hopper, and re-
ceives therefore a storage ticket. He
can either get his wheat back or the
market price in cash for it whenever
he wants it.
The elevator nan knows he dosen't
want the wheat, so ships it to Mime
apolis or Duluth, where itgoes to swell
the visible supply" The more wheat
there is in the visible supply the less
will be paid for it. When the miller
wants to grind this wheat he buys it
from the elevator man. tits the farm
er's wheat, and the elevator man has
only the freight invested. The farmer
furnishes IS per cont of the capital in
the deal, and the wheat he has added
to the visible supply keeps the price
down. As the elevator man has no
money invested in the wheat and will
not be benefited if the price rises, he
does not use much effort to make it 20
higher. Storage charges are the same
on wheat, whether it is worth GO cents
or SLIGO a bushel.
When the farmer'sstores''. wheat and
holds the storage tickets for a rise in
price, he CANDLES in futures, and no is
the only gambler in futures who has
more than 10 cents a bushel invested
in the deal. He has, moreover. sup.
Piled the necessities of the consumer,
and the consumer, knowing the farmer
does not want the wheat back, natur-
ally keeps the price down. The law Of
supply and demand does not operate
in such cases.
Keep the wheat in the granary on
your farm. When you haul it into
market, sell it. Do not pay storage,
Let the other fellow do that. II you
must gamble in futures invest S or ia
cents q bushel in margins; but do not
furnish the other fellow with the capi
tal.-Valley City Times Record.
