SOME figures just issued by the
statistician Of the department of
the department of agriculture are
Of especial interest to farmers in
that they show the great improve
ment in the prices of all farm stock
and farm products in the past year.
The farmers Of the United States
he is quoted as saying, ''have re-
ceived something like $130,000,000
more for their cereal crops than in
1896, and $SO,000,O0O more than
for those Of any preceding year
since 1892. The hay crop, notwith-
standing it was the largest with one
exception ever raised, commanded
an increased price per ton; wool is
higher, considerably higher than at
any time since 1898; and all other
products, with the exception of cot
ton, show corresponding improve
ment over the conditions of a year
ago. The statistics relating to farm
animals are still more significant.
During 1897 the farm horses in
creased in value over S25,0O0,OOO,
the mules over $6,OO0,O0O, the
milch COWS $65, 100000, other cattle
over $l04, 100000, sheep $25,O0O,-
600, hogs over rs, 600, 900, etc, max
ing a total increase of farm stock of
something like $240OO0,OOO. The
statistics show that this remarkable
increase in values is we'll distrib
uted over the country, there being
not single state or territory which
does not report marked improve
mcnt in live stock, as we'll as farm
products. In the so called mort
gagged plastercd states of Kansas
and Nebraska, the value of farm an
imale increased during the year,
$4,000, 900 in the former, and over

the various phases of the perplex-
ing question, and under his leader
ship American honor can not suf-
fer The nation felt that it had
been dealt an insult by the Span
iards that demanded nothing short
of war, and on the spur Of the mo-
ment, with passion raging, imme-
diate action WAS the cry. But to
have precipitated war before the
country was prepared for war would
have been the height of folly. The
days of delay have been made good
use of by our government, and the
army and navy have been put in
good condition for the strife that
seems imminent. Furthermore it
was duty the country owed its
citizens resident in Havana to grant
them every protection, and it was
nothing short of patriotism for pro-
ceedings TO be stayed till Ameri-
cans could be gotten out of the city
that must be the center of hostil-
tiles as soon as war is commenced.
The presidents message undoubt-
eddy means war, and it would be
folly to precipitate war till the
country is ready for it.

MANY believe that American
honor can not be sustained without
war with Spain. If the Spanish
nation should yield no the very Sc
we're though proper demands of the
United States, even without blood
shed, American honor would be
sustained. If war can be averted
and the United States still main.
tain its position, then war would
be crime. War, even with Spain,
means that sorrow and suffering
would enter thousands of Ameri
can homes. The cream of our
young manhood would be before
the fire of the enemy, and husband,
brother or sweetheart would fall to
rise no more. These lives are ready,
already offered, to be sacrificed, il
needs be, at the altar of American
honor, but if the need can be avert
ed with honor still intact. then let
us hope peace may still reign.

IN case that expected war takes
place finirhing touches should be
put on several matters. The un-
due haste of Spain in recognizing
the independence of the southern
confederacy would be remembered,

powder and lead.
