| have been asked to discuss
some of The problems, which have
lately presented themselves to the
farmer, for a solution. Farmers.
especially cotton planters have
to contend with difficulties Of
late years, extreme low prices for
his produce do not conform with
The full prices of the necessities he
mast buy.
This food and supplies for hands
are out Of proportion to his income.
Where the fault lieS,w know. 1t
is over production of cotton and
under production Of food crops.
How can this be rCmcdicd? Why
anybody would say, that's simple
enough, less cotton, more food for
man and beast.
There's the problem. FARMERS as
4 rule are not guided BY a combined
aetIo'I to reduce tie acreage Of cot
ton and thereby enhance its valve.
Every land owner, i'll order to
get some revenue out Of his land, is
forced to have it titled.
fle can only avail himself OF such
labor as tho country affords, and
That IS our coIorcd brother

IE twelve months and clothe them.

timber for his garden, chicken
house, hOg-pen, corn crib, which at

When cotton was worth re and
above, twas very nice and protita

The consequencesare, that the col

be impossible to improve on the.
wording Of the proclamatio to
Fillpinos. No point is omitted
and nothing is overlooked. II
cannot fail to make good i'm
preston in the courts Of Europe
however it may be received by
Aguinaldo and his deluded fol
lowers. l presume taht the sign
ers Of the proclamation had this
point in mind. For raw recruits
in the diplomatic field the Ameri-
cans are doing quite well"
There is nothing official in the
talk about swapping tile Philip
pines for the British West Indies,
OF which much is heard just now,
and there are several very sub
stantial reasons for thinking that
there never will be. Admiral
Schley said ON the subject: ia
maica, Barbados, st. Lucia
Trinidad and Bermuda, owned by
England, would make valuable ad-
ditions to our southern territory,
but I doubt very much wheth-
or England is ready to part with
them. Bermuda is the naval STA
ton of the English fleet on this
side of the Atlantic, and Barba-
does is the military rendezvo us
for the British troops in the West
Indies, England maintains large
garrison on that beautiful island
and St. Lucia and Trinidad are
invaluable to her in many ways"
Secretary Gage said, speaking
of the present prosperous condi-
ton of the country: Increased
wages is the natural result of the
turn commercial and indus
trial affairs have taken. The logic
of the present situation is easily
understood. Confidence has re-
turned, followed by a revival of
trade. Values have gone toward
thyt level which should be mark
ed on the financial barometer
"public confidence Still while
I rejoiced at that evidence Of pros
perity, it did not give me the sat
isfaction I experienced when
saw the price of labor advance. T
is the prosperity of the masses
! which means good times" >

Nothing is more certain than
that the people have had enough

others who have nothing to lose

Few iothers will care for more
experiments with silver. Good
gold money has become plenty
enough since it's standard was es-
tablished and it is rapidly becom-
ing plentier. The gold mines Of
the world are now turning out
more value each year than mines
of both gold and silver produced
together sew en years ago. Their
output is increasing. Even the
advocates of fiat money can now
get as much gold as they will
work for.-Tacoma Ledger.

One of the most hopeful of all
the hopeful signs of the times is
the advance in the wages of New
England mill operatives. The
stagnation which set in six years
ago seems to have given place to
prosperity in all the cotton manu-

of men and women who have been
living in enforced idleness, are
not only employed again but en-
ployed at good wages Chicago

President Mckinley owes no
little of his great popularity in
keeping in touch with the people,
and doing what they wish to be
done. An instance was his order
ing a military funeral over the
bodies of 366 American soldiers
brought from Cuba and Porto
Rico for interment in The Ma
tional cemetary at Arlington, and
ordering all the government Offices
closed in their honor. Washing
ton has had military funerals over
generals; but never such an out
pouring of people in honor of pri-
Yates az witnessed the solemn and
impressive ceremonies at Arling-
ton yesterday afternoon. The
military procession was composed
of regulars and the entire Nation
al Guard of the District of Col
umbia, and the president, mem
bers of the Cabinet, justices Of
the Supreme Court. and mann
other officials joined with the
people in paying honor to those
who died in the service of their
country. It was ali object lesson
in patriotism that will not soon be
forgotten, and which deserves
eternal remembrance. Such an
occasion naturally produces pa.
thetic incidents. An old lady APP
preached one Of the guards, near
the caskets, with q small boquet
ii her hand, and said: 8 He's not
my boy, onlo my nephew; ! don't
know whether they hsye him.
