\ Successful Tariff Law.

Results again prove the Republican
party 10 be Il master builder of
economic measures. Since March
the tariff law bearing tie name OF the
late Mr.. Dingley. but which has the
marks of general Republican leader
ship, has yielded receipts averaging
500, 900 Il day. which is considerably
more than was estimated. The Will
son tariff law, III Il corresponding
period. produced one-fourth less. But
it is not alone in revenue that the
Dingley law shows excellent results.
1t is in every way IAN important ele-
ment in industrial progress and the
general prosperity of the country. In
the first place, it applies the principle
of protection ludiciously. Our annual
purchases of foreign woolens have
fallen from $40, IT,, ,992 to Sl3, ,S3l ,961:

S67 to $25, 132, i9j: manufactures of

manufactures of iron and steel from
SIC, ,O94, 557 to ST., ,O9s, 30: manufactures
of leather from Sl3, 2S3, 15l to sll, 49,
55l, and manufactures of tin plate
from DC ,O73,6S3 pounds to l0S, ,4s4, 500
pounds. Purchases of foreign wool,
which were So, ,243. l9l during the last
year of the Wilson law, were only
$S. 322, SO, in the last fiscal year.
In noncompetitive crude materials
the importation has largely increased.
In comparison with the last year of
the Wilson law, the imports OF raw
silk have grown from HISS. l63 to

THE BANNER CORN FIELD.
y Tract of GOOO Acres that VIII
Yield GoO.GOO Bushels.

IN EGYPT. ILLINOIS. September j
South OF Ava. in Southern Illinois.
from the brow of one OF the kinkaid
hills. can be seen the most magnificent
field of corn upon which the white
mans vision has rested since the time
the Pilgrims landed and learned 10
know the merits of maize in hasty
pudding. The September sun is put
ting the golden color upon 5000 acres
of corn in one great body. This is
the banner corn field of the world. 1t
will give this year 100000 bushels OF
corn, an average of 100 bushels to the
acre. The statement will be ques-
toned. And the people who know
most about corn outside of the Amer
lean Bottom will be the first to chal =
lenge. Even the Egyptians of Illinois
look askant at such a claim. But
those who have seen the extraordinary
spectacle .agree that nowhere in the
world is there such a crop of corn
maturing on the same ground space.
Even from the nearest hilltop this
field appears to be solid mass. As
far as the vision reaches the corn ex-
tends without apparent break. On
closer approach the spectacle is even
more impressive. The corn stands at
an average height of IL feet. So
heavy is it that man four rows from
the outer edge can not be seen. At Il
little distance the edge of the great
body presents an unbroken line. Close
view shows an occasional dividing
road or lane. On either side OF these
lanes the corn rises like wall high
above the wagon. Having one, en-
tered the lane, the traveller finds 1t
impracticabl To turn around. The
only thing to do is 10 drive to the
other side oi the treat field. Nobody
who has ridden through the 5000 acres
questions the estimate of loo bushels
to the acre. And nobody who mas
visited the icld since the present crop
began to mature can remember TO nave
seen the like of it before.
Even the cul;ivators OF thi, rXccp-
tiOnai field admit that they nave never
had such Il crop 4, this years. To
them there is nothing unusual in a
yield OF sevcnty-live bushels To the
acre. In unfavorablc seasons they
can safely count on fifty 10 sixty bush
.cls. But 100 bushels for the entire
tract il the recOrd-breakcr. y capi-
talist from the greatest cOrn-raising

for 1000 acrcS WAS refused. BY WAY
OF interesting contrast. it may bt
stated right here that less than ten
years ago the ground upon which
stands the banner corn crop Of the

an acre. Where the banner crop is
