Senator piatt. OF Connecticut, arpro-
pri2teiy described the distribution o.
seeds when ne said the whole thing was
an unmitigateG hgmbug. The practice
Of sending out seeds 20 anybody who
asks for them originated in an excellent
purpose The intention OF the govern
ment was 10 procure seeds OF value and
send them TO farmers for the purpose
OF making experiments and ascertaining
the adaptahility Of soil and climate 20
agricultural products.
This wise intention has been made the
medium Of q most fragrant expenditure
of public money for other purposes.
Millions of dollars have been spent in
the purchase OF seeds to be sent to pri-
vate persons and even TO save farmers
buying seed for the mos, ordinary agri-
cultural products. The farmers them
selves would never have asked for such
a thing, but finding that some favored
neighbor had reccive6 a consignment
from a congressman they have pre-
sunled, as they had right to do, that
they were also entitled TO some. They
are on a par with the conscientious
newspaper editor. who said he was OPP
posed on principle To the giving Of rail-
road passes. but so long as they were
being given out he might as well have

Congressman have encouraged the
practice because il was a cheap and
pleasant way of remembering and being
kept in remembrance by influential rural
constituents. 1t proved altogether more
satisfactory than sending out congress

increased demand for pig iron, on the
assumption that If farmer was inter
ested in any manufacture 1t would be
something In that line.
The whole thing is, indeed. an unmiti-
gated humbug. The credit is due j.

nal purpose We never had a more

OIR FIGHT WITH GERMANY.

The call made upon European govern
ments by Count Goiuchowski to unite
in a war upon United States com
merce seems TO have been responded 10
first by Germany. That country more
than any other has shown Jealousy OF
us. and IL is very significant that re-
ports upon German manufactures and
commerce are usually made in compari-
son with those of the United States and
sGreat Britain. whereas nearly every
other country makes Great Britain alone
the standard Of comparison.
!. Thr people Of this country have need

years Germany has made more progress

other country In the world excepting

manufactured goods on the Eastern
hernisphere This progress has all been
flmade since the war Of 1870. and IL is as
remarkable as the growth OF the United
States. The English statistician. Null

sthey North American Review for Janu-
sry, and he fully appreciates the warn
ing IL possesses for the United states.

While we have been calculating on the

Germany has been not only calculating.
but accomplishing We Will present a
few figures taken from the mass Of STA
tisries in order TO demonstrate how
clearly the interests of the United States
are allied with those of England in the
Chinese question and how antagonistic
they must be to those OF Russia and
Germany.
