THE FARMERS D1scoNTENT.
Stntistician Heimes ON It's Causes
and the Remedies.

Statistician Holmes ON It's Caases
and the Remedies.
Philadelphia, Feb 9.-George X. Holmes.
Assistant Statistician of the Department
of Agriculture at Washington, lectured
yesterday before the students of the Wtar
ton School OF the University of Pennsy1-
vania on The Causes OF Agricultural Dis
content" The speaker called attention to
the large proportion of our people who fol-
lowed agricultural pursuits and endeayored
to estimate their economic position with
respect to the other groups OF gainful oc-
cupations. He presented interesting fig
ures, showing the wages and earnings of
the farm laborer Annual average earn
ings of $215 in this occupation were con-
trasted with S340 for those employed in
trade and transportation, S42o for miners
and Si45 for those engaged in mechanical
and manufacturing pursuits.
Turning to the condition of the farmer
and basing his figures upon the census re-
ports, the speaker showed that if We as
sumed the farmer to earn an interest upon
his capital he only gained on an average
the meagre sum of S6 per month as wages
while if We allowed him $22 for wages he
received no interest upon his capital.
In snort, the condltion or agriculture at
present in the United States is such fhat
the farmer is unable TO produce enough
wealth to assure him favorable economic
condition as compared with other classes of
pursuits.
While the outlook for the farmer is not
encouraging. there Is some hope that he
may improve his condition by increasing
his product on the one hand and lowering
his cost of production upon the other. The
! increased use of commercial fertilizers may
| eventually aid the farmer to accomplish
! the first result. Thus far the experience
/ is small, and we cannot positively assert
| that crops have been increased. The al
! tentative of reducing the cost of production
| offers more hopeful prospects. Much has
| already been done in this direction. There
! is no reason TO doubt that processes may
be still further improved. and that the use
of better methods may become far more
| universal. The condition of the farmer is
no doubt hard one. but he is in part re-
sponsible for it. Lack OF thrift, excessive
expenditure, the failure to grow crops for
his own seed, are among the causes which
have contributed to the general feeling Of
unrest among the farming population.

GOULD AND SAGE DISAGREE.
Rupture Over New Motive Power FOL
the .'Lv Road.


the ..Lv Road.
New York. Feb. 9.-Russell Sage and
George Gould evidently are drifting apart.
Their public utterances do not harmonic
regarding the management of the Manhat-
tan L The explanation of this is said
to be differences as to the plan for chang
ing the motive power.
Two weeks ago Mr.. Sage, in an inter
view declared that George Gould had op-
posed the equipment of the system with
electricity. At a recent meeting of the
directors a resolution was passed author
izing President Gould to select new mo-
tive power and arrange to finance an is
sue of SIS. .000, 900 OF new stock to pay for
the improvements.
Since then Mr. Gould has given out sew
eral authorized interviews in which he has
emphatically declared in favor of adopt
ing electricity, and against any other form
of motive power. Mr.. Gould gives an in
terview in which he advocated electric
power.
Russell Sage gave the following inter-
view yesterday:
I'VE haven't decided on electricity as
a motive power for the L. This story that
we have is unwarranted. All We have done
is to consider the change"
'.But Mr.. Gould says definitely that the
change is to be made. and that the work
of equipping the road with electric power
will begin as soon as possible was urged
Well replied Mr.. Sage slowly, and
smiling good humoredly, "Mr. Gould seems
to like to talk. So, If you want stories OF
immediate improvements ON the elevated
road, / guess you had better go and see
him. He may want to talk some more .
''Then the published statements he has
made are not accurate?"
mo. they are not. Mr.. Gould is chair
man of committee which was appointed
to consider the question of improvements
That committee has no power to decide on
improvements. and it has no money with
which to make improvements, even if il
had the power
