Benefits Tobacco Growers.

In the Connecticut Valley the Depart
ment of Agriculture has classified all
the tobacco lands, studying the inau-
ence of the soil OF the character of the
tobacco. In addition to this the cause
OF the fermentation of the cigar leaf
tobacco has been worked out, and an
improved method of fermenting the
Connecticut tobacco has been intro
ducel, which it is believed will revolu-
tinniZe the practice in that State. This
method gives IL much more uniform
product, and titus improves the value
of the leaf. 1t shortens the time re-
CURED to ferment the tobacco about
eight months, and SO reduces the i'll
trance and the loss of interest on the
money invested. 1t is estimated that
the value of this work will amount to
ut least 100000 per annum to the
farmers of the Connecticut Valley. The
Investigations ale being carried still
further In order to see whether the
quality of the tobacco can be further
improved. There is reason to believe
it can be.
In addition to these practical results,
improvements have been made in the
methods of soil Investigation, both in
the laboratory and in the field. Some
very important problems connected
With the physical and chemical consti-
tuition of solids are being worked out,
which give promise of being of great

To my mind, the one issue CT the

Massachusetts there are Il lot of men
who are devotiIg their efforts to maxi

thereby driving Democrats to the sup

that the Republicans have made some
mistakes. but absolutely the only is
sues that Il opponents have evolved
are not based upon our mistakes but
upon u right actions. No party can

Peculiar Patriotism.

Bryan says that the Republicans
showed their partisanship by holding
their national convention on the anni-
versary of the organization Of the
party, while the Democrats have
shown their patriotism by holding their
convention on the Fourth of July. Such
patriotism is in line with his volunteer
ing and then resigning his commission

The evident concern shown By the

leads one to wonder ii the offices have
anything to do with their zeal in the
matter Of country saving. 1t will be
remembered that it was the Republican
Lincoln who saved the country from
Democratic rebellion, and Republican
Mckinley who saved 1t from Demo-
cratic panic and stagnation.

with the total amount of wag which

I'VE have received 200 replies. These
show that there was Il steady increase
in the number OF hands employed in
the 200 factories until the year 1893,
after which there was an immediate
drop of 10000 men in 1891. But Under
President McISinley's administration
the increase in the number of men em-
ployed by these same factories has
been startling. In 1884 they employed
90,4S3; in 1897 they employed 100000;
in 1898 they employed 131. . men, and
last year they employed 17l.G45 men.

"Ihe amount OF wages paid by these
same 300 manufacturers increased
steadily from 1890 TO 1892. then there
was u drop in 1881 and another drop
in 1894. During the next two years
wages picked up, but it was not until
1897 that these same manufacturers
were paying out as much money in
wages as they had paid i'll 1892. The
increase of their pay rolls in 1898 and
1899 is as gratifying to me rs it must
be to the men who are now busy at

their pay rolls 10y upwards of $685.
100000; in fact, the amount of wages
which they distributed last year was
almost double what they paid out in
1894.
IF this ratio of increase We're op-

taking into account the numbers of
