For the Farmers to Decide,


By the best figures obtainable it APP
pears that the farmers of the country
paid over SSOOOOO,OOO in the shrinkage
in the value Of their live stock alone
as a part of the price Of the election to
the Presidency Of Grover Cleveland on
freet trade platform in 1892 Most or
this loss they have made good since
free trade received a Knockout blow in
1896 and protection returned to it's own
again. II the farmers have more money
and more prosperity now than they
want and would like to get rid Of some
of 1T, the sureSt way in the world is to
vote for Bryan and free trade this fall.
1t wouldn't take long under Bryan and
free trade for live stock to become OF
as little value as it was in the days OF
Cleveland. But it. on the other hand,
the farmers Of the country want to
keep what they have and to add TO it,
they need to stand by the policy which
gives the American market to the
American people, and which, by bring
ing work and money and prosperity to
the Industrial workers Of the country,
creates a strong home demand for tbs
products of the farm.

NEW ORLEANS CLAY STATUE.
The Street Railroad Companies Tri-
mmph After PROLONGED Contest.

uWpn ITOIOnEeu contest.
The removal of the statue CT Henry
Clay from Canal street has finally been
definitely settled, an ordinance having
been passed by the council providing for
the removal of the statue from its pres
ent site. at the intersection of Canal
street with St. Charles and Royal streets
to Lafayette square.
The removal Of the statue will mean
the passing of one or the bcst-known
landmarks of the city, around which
many memories cluster. No special SEN
timent attaches to the statue itself. which
is anything but an ornament in its pres
ent position, but people who remember
the many important events which have
occurred, and the many historic person
ages who have figured in occurrences
around its base, will view with sentiment
tai regret the removal of the old land
mark; but even such persons are forced
TO admit that the motives underlying the
demand for its removal outweigh any
other consideration. 1t is not disre-
gard for memories Of the past nor any
lack Of reverence for the memory of the
statesman the statue Is meant to honor
that dictates the course resolved upon.
1t is a realization that in the present To-
cation the statue is a menace to life and
limb, that it seriously impedes traffic up
on one of the city's busiest thorough.
fares. The several years of hesitation
on the part of the authorities before
finally sanctioning the removal is suffi-
cient proof that the decision was finally
arrived at with regret.
There can be no question at all that at
this time the Clay statue is very much
out of place in its present location.
Crowded on all sides by immense cleo
trio cars and shrouded by network of
wires, the statue has ceased to be an
ornament. Re-erected in Lafayette
square, one of the most attractive spots
in the city, the Clay statue will be seen
TO much better advantage, and the sur
roundings will be in every sense more
annronriate-NeMO Orleans PicaYune.

THE PRESERVING SEASON.

OF Ceyion's spicy brceaes
We many times have sung,
And we have heard about theia
Since days when we were young:
But now to sniff such fragrance
We do not need to roam,
Fer spicy are the breezes
That float around the home.
It's now the time when women
Forget about their nerves
And spend their days and evenings
In putting up preserves
They're peering into kettles,
They're closely watching pans,
and at the proper moment
They're filling jars and cans.
They're making jams and jelles
And sweetest marmaiade,
And fruit fresh from the orchards
Is into butter made
They're pairing. seeding. siicing.
A work in which they're skilled,
And when z kettles emptled
Again It's promptly filled.
And sweet is the aroma
That perIneateS the air,
lvhe fragrance of the spices
Dropped in with greatest care,
And as afar it's waited
To Ceylon we then show
That there are other places
Where spicy breezes blow.
The women burn their fingers.
And pretty faces. too:
But patiently they're working
Until the task is through,
And. though the bubbles grumble
When women thus prepare,
Just watch them in the winter,
And see them grab their share.

Younr's Standard Work.


protection and Progress" by John
P. Young, is work just from the press
of Rand McNaIly & Co., New York and
Chicago The title may suggest an
argument in reply to Henry George, but
the work is not directly controversial in
character and only indirectly touches
on any of Georges themes. 1t is a
new and valuable study of the economic
basis of the American protective tariff
system by a student whose marked
ability for original Investigations and
luminous discussion Of economic ques-
tons was demonstrated in his work on
'The Manufacturing Industries of
Japan and "B-Metallism or Mono
Metallsn" This work is of greater
importance and interest than either of
those, and, indeed, marks distinct adj
vance in the discussion of the question
of protection versus free trade A strik-
ing feature is the chapter showing
trusts and monopolies to be the natural
outgrowth of free trade. Equally sue
cessfully in attacking another delusion
the author shows the Wretched blunder
Of economic theories which persistently
look to the interest Of the consumer
and overlook those of the producer.

Colorado Will Come Back.

IN 1894 Colorado mined a lot Of silver
and only $9,491,514 in gold and was
crazy for Bryan and Is to 1. In 1898
she mined gold to the value of $23, 1885,
to the Republican column, where She
belongs. Colorado has become a great
manufacturing State and has no use
for party which proposes to draw the
fires from her furnaces.-San Francisco

COld-Storage Meats.

Meats frozen and Kept in cold storage
for long periods do not undergo organic
changes in the ordinary sensethat is,
they do not putrefy, soften or smell bad,
but they certainly do deteriorate in some
intangible way. After a certain time
frozen meat loses some life principle es-
sential to it's nourishing quality. Such
meat lacks flavor; it is not well digested

MURAT HALSTEAD
PORTO RICO TRADE GROWING.
In Spite of the Walls of the Demo-
Gratis the Island Is Brig tening.

In Spite of the Walls Of the Demo-
Gratis the Island Is Frightening.
Commerce between the United States
and Porto Rico has developed rapidly
since the new act went into effect on
May 1, 1900. Imports into the United
States from that island have increased
80 per cent over those Of one year ago
and are three times as great as the
average when Porto Rico was Spanish
territory, while exports to the island
have increased nearly 80 per cent over
ore year ago, and are nearly five times
as much as the average when Porto
Rico was Spanish territory. During
the month Of July, whose figures have
just been completed by the Treasury
Bureau Of Statistics, the exports from
the United States to the island were
S529, 129, against $2O6, 466 in July. 1899.
and $156,296 in July, 1897. Taking the
entire three months in which the new
act has been in operation, May. June
and July, the exports to the island were
50, III POT. against $S73.453 in the cor
responding months of 1899, S4S5.219 in
the corresponding months of 1897, and
S393,z25 in the corresponding months
Of -~J6. On the import side the figures
for July, 1900, were SG4O,O23, against
S44S,267 in July, 1899, $145,273 in 1897,
and $254,676 in July, 1896.
1t is apparent. therefore, from an eX-
animation Of these figures that imports
from Porto Rico in the three months
operation of the new law are fully so
per cent in excess of those for the COR
responding months of 1899, when the
island was under the American flag,
but the former tariff relations yet I'M
affected, while they are nearly three
times as much as in the corresponding
months Of the closing years of Spanish
control of the island.
The following shows the commerce
between the United States and the isl
and of Porto Rico in May, June and
July of each year from 1896 to and in
Guiding the year 1900, and enables a
comparison of the trade Of the first
three months under the new law with
the corresponding months of each year
in the term covered. No comparison is
made with 1898, owing to the fact that
the hostilitieS in existence during June,
July and August of that year would
make the comparison an unfair one.
