The Farmers Prosperity.

The farmer is enjoying q period OF
prosperity. Wheat has advanced near
ly eight cents with IN a few days and
corn is selling at higher figure than
for years. 1t is not only the cereals that
are advancing in price, however, but the
steady rise in the price Of beef and 9th
er kinds ct meat calls attention to the
prosperity OF the farmer and livestock
breeder. The Union Stockyards COM
pany OF Omaha, which ia situated ,n the
food producing center Of the United
Statee, has gathered statistics whish
show that there has been an advance of
81 per hundred pounds on live hogs. and
81 hundred on beevss rs compared
with 1896. The best price paid for hogs
in May Of that year WINS 81 80 per 100
pounds. but last month the price was
s4.S3. Corn-fed b.eves sold at si.l5 in
lSG, last month they brought 800.
Moreover, there has been an enormous
increase IN the trade. Receipts at Omaha
in May, 1896, were l2l ,376 head Of hogs;
1850 Of cattle. and GO,45O Of sheep.
Last month the receipts we're 2i4,59S OF
hogs; 81 .9O2 OF cattle, and ~, $50 Of sheep.
10 st. Joseph better prices have been
paid even than in Omaha, while the re-
celpts haye been record breakers.
These differences in livestock values
are almost as remarkable as the advan-
ces IN iron and steel products, and they
benefit vastly larger number OF people.
The visible marketing Of hogs shows
remarkable increase since 1896. The
to; al packing in the provision year 1885,
1896 WIS ~, 10000 head, and for 1899
1900 it has been 2S,l72OOO. These fig
ures do not represent the entire slaugn-
tering OF the country, but only those at
commercial centers where reports are
regularly made. The Cincinnati Price
Current estimates the outside slaughter.
ing at 100000 head yearly which
would bring the yearly average just now
mp to 100000. The slaughtering since
March has increased over 10000 head.
There has been decline in the amount
of livestock, but there has been no let
up in the number marketed, so prices
promise to advance instead of declining.
This ls the clue also to the present up
ward movement in quotations.
With such prices as the farmer gets
for his live stock and such crops as he is
raising he can bear with equanimity the
declines in iron and steel. aud the shrink.
age in railroad and industrial securities.
Ii his crops and his prices keep up, it 10
question Of not how long the reaction
in other commodities will continue, but
how soon it will be checked. The farm
er is Il great consumer, and with full
pockets he is such liberal buyer that
the markets of the world must feel his
power. There is no evidence
that he is being seriously affected by
IN any of his staples. and
to this tremendous undercurrent OF agri-
cultural prosperity the commercial world
must respond.

cracy.
The Hon. Alexander NJ. Dockery heads
the state Democratic ticket, but Colone
William ii. Phelps. corporation lobbyist
is the power behind the throne.
So far as the state convention is con
cerned, Phelps has secured everything
he wants. Through the nominations he
dictated he will continue to have, as be
has had for Il long time, absolute control
OF the board of railroad assessors, il the
ticket be elected.
That he has an understanding with
Dockery is more than apparent, for the
candidate for governor worked for sew
eral Of Phelps favorites, notably fol
Allen, the nominee for auditor, who will
be one OF the board Of assessors.
1t must be remembered that candid.

nouncing the lobbyist. could have made
almsst any change In the slate that he
desired. But while assuming that be
did not wish TO mix in the contests for
other offices, he worked with the Phelps
forces to land the men most desired by
the corporation agent.
The man whom Phelps made attorney
general was renuminated for that far
reaching office without contest.
Phelps also landed bis man for railroad
commissioner.
LII William j. Stone hoped to stain
pede the state convention against the
notorious lobbyist by his denunciatIons,
be little understood the grip that Phelps
has on the Missouri Democracy.
10 the Stone-Phelps fight, Phelps has
been the confident combatant. Twenty
years experience IN dealing with politl-
clans and binding them to him by abund-
ant favors has made him absolute mast
er OF the situation so far as his interests
reach.
The public WIS astonished at the
frankness Of Phelps Carthage speech 10
which he freely admitted the character
OF his business. HIS only defense was
that Stone, who had attacked him, was
among the most eager recipients of his
favors.
This candor threatened the party as a
whole, but 1t secured Phelps hold upon
the politicians. He fixed things SO that
Il be went down the party would have to
90 down with him.
The experience OF Stone though in-
the enmity Of Phelps was a warn
ing to the other leaders who had &C
cepted his bounties, and every one OF
them knew that he would be sacrificed
as ruthlessly as the former governor had
been II he opposed the will of the lobby

through without controversy.
That, too, is one particular reason why

That, too, WAS one reason why this

The Young Man.

Anonx the many questions which are
under dispute 10 this most disputatious
time is that one OF whether it lie worth
while for boy to get himself born.
When the world was so big that men
Gould not look clear around il, and there
was still West with a few acres not
pre- enpted, things looked promising for
the aspirsnt to life. There was q North
west passage to everything, and any boy
might be Sir John Franklin or Sir Fran
cls Drake. IL he did not find the pas-
sage he would still find fame. Those
who found the saI liest way to the In
dice became merchant princes. Those
VINO LAID the iron rails across CONT.
nent became railroad magnaces. Those
who first claimed bound!sss tracts out
OF the boundless prairies became cattle
oarons. Those who dug into the earth
with pick or dynamite became kinge,
copper or iroo or silver or gold kings.
The titles which had served to distin-
guish men IN monarchy were conferred
upon those who were supreme in trade.
Any boy might sometime be king or a
baron, magnate or prince. A Van
derbilt, Gould, a CorneRie. an Armour,
Hill, Piilsbury, Weyerhauser, were
boys who had themselves born into the
world at the time when the natural rs
sources demanded development.
That time is paseed But few months
ago. Senator Wsshburn, Minnssota's
perferred candidate for the vice presl.
dency. was lamsnting that the boy lack
ed opportunity, that all the avenues
whereby the young man had made him
self the great man were blocked by those
who had succeeded. He left the young
man believing that he IVES a surplus;
the unearned increment OF humanity.
David Starr Jordan has lately come
forth with the statement that "the best
time to be boy the world has eyer
known is just this time-just at the out
start OF great, vigorous, forcefui, wis
Ss NonsoiJ, abu gust the OetI
place to be boy 10 right here IN the
United Ssates, the one part Of the earth
where boy can grow up With a reason
able chance of making the most Of him
SELF"
The difference between the two state
ments rs due, not to a conflict OF truth,
but 20 difference in the point Of view.
Senator Wasbburn is correct II We look
to the past. to the old regime Of SUCCESS
ful men. Not many more men can be-
come great through millions. President
Jordan is correct, looking to the future.
All men may become great through
mind. The material opportunities OF the
earth are exactly limited. The mind op-
portunities are infinite. The time is CON-
ing when not one Of there "t,tlsd"
Americans whose greatness is determln-
ed by his bank account will be entitled
to respect unless he can show something
more. As s. Weir Mitchell said lately,
"amilllon is explanatory" A better ex-
planation Of greatness than dollars will
be required in the coming years. and
that is the opportunity of the young
man. Ii he fails in this he fails IN life.

A Foolish Bet.

to Star reporter. "A good-hearted friend
of mine became convinced In his own mind
that Bryan would win and made so many
wild bets that his friends began to believe
his brain was affected. l am told that he
probably lost $1,000. Every time he met
man who prophesied McKiney's election
he considered 1t his patriotic duty to offer
to bet him that he didn't know what he
was talking about. One bet he made 7
have In mind. This was $40 to $50 that
Bryan would carry New York, Maryland,
OHIO, Illinois and Indiana. Just think of
that. Every one OF those states would have
10 go democratic before he could win.
There was little prospect. as since shown,
that any one would go democratic NV
friend was simply infatuated to the point
of insanity with Bryan. He said he real
lied on Monday before the election that he
was going to lose his money. but would NOT
hedge, because he believed in a man stand
