A National Farmers PARTY.

The project OF forming a national
farmers party is being agitated among
agriculturalists. The intention, start
ed in Illinois, is receiving encourage
ment from other states, and the pros
pect is that national convention
will be called early in the spring
The avowed object of the association
is TO elect members of congress and
members Of legislatures with the OBJ
ject of influencing legislation more in
favor OF the farmers than of corpora
tions, monopolies and trusts.
A bill To abolish the payment of
prize money TO officers and men Of
the navy recently introduced in con-
gress is timely measure. The prac-
tice is survival of mi-barbarism.
Anciently victorious army was en-
titled TO the booty of captures as we'll
as the navy. In these days private
property is respected in war and pub
lie property taken as the result of
conquest is not subject to be distrib-
uted to the army. The same amelio-
rating and civilized conditions have
never been applied to the navy but it
acts under the rules existing in the
dark ages, with single restriction of
fixed ratio of distribution Of prize
money. The commanding officer of a
fleet gets one-twentieth part OF all
prize money awarded TO any vessel
under his control The fleet captain
is entitled to one-hundredth part.
To the commander Of single vessel
is given One-tenth the money award
ed to his vessel. After these deduc-
tions the remainder of the prize
money awarded Is distributed among
the officers and crews. If the captur-
ed vessel is Of inferior force to the
captor one-half the prize money goes
to the captor ard one-half TO the
government. But if the prize was of
equal or superior force to the vessels
making the capture the entire pro-
ceeds of the sale go to the captor.
During the civil war millions of dol
lars were paid the navy in prize
money.

1t may be inferred from the num-
Der Of newspa pers ana books publish
ed at the present time that the manu-
facture Of paper has become an I'M
mense industry. A trust or combina-
ton of most Of the paper manufact-
uries id the United States which was
effected year ago absorbed about 50
per cent of the manufacturing capac-
ity Of the paper mills. The combine
claims capitalization Of 500, 100000,
but the entire property could be du-
plicated withSl0, 900, 900. This com bine
has advanced the price Of its product,
in some instances SO ton. The
manufacture of paper is protected by
a tax OF S1.67 ton on manufactured
pulp and IS a ton on print paper.
No paper is imported ~ consequence
hut the export amounts to 1000 tons a
week. The capacity of these mills in
the trust is about / APO tons per day.
They use 100000 cords of wood an
nually, which means the stripping Of
625 square miles Of timber. The tar
if on wood pulp seems to be to the
exclusive advantage Of this trust, en-
Aiding them to make by excessive
charges for the manufactured article

it. They will consider it in the ma

has been colder the last week than
for many years. The thermometer
has ranged as low as AZ below on sew
