INCREASE OF WHEAT CON-
SUMPTION.

Details of the Latest international
Effort 40 Beneat American Farmers.
Mr.. John G.. Hanley OF St Paul,
Mimi, president Of the National Cotton
Growers association, secretary of the
National Grain Growers association,
and president of the international Con
eress Of Agricultural Associations or
the World, recently held at Paris, re
turned to America from that city,
and while In New York he announc-
ed the results OF the international
congress deliberations and outlined
the proposed project for increasing the
prosperity Of the agricultural classes.
The main detail Of this proposition Is
to vastly increase the demand for
wheat and other western farm prod
ucts by introducing them as foods III
the oriental or Asiatic nations.
Mr. Hanley has gone to Washington
to confer with the Chinese minister.
who will be asked to serve as honorary
vice president Of the international
directorate OF the congress, and to
represent China in that body. Mr..
Hanley, by direction of the Paris CON
gress, viii discuss with the minister
propositions looking to the opening Of
China to the grain growers of the
world, and especially to the American
farmers President Hanley believes
that Wu Ting Fang may be induced to
cooperate with the American and Euro
pean farmers In bringing about bet
ter oriental market for American and
European crops iianley will show the
Chinese minister that China ought to
have better market in the west for
her silks and teas and that this can
be brought about only by opening the
oriental market to western nations.
The American wheat growers argue
this way: IF we can find n market for
The AZ, 900, 900 bushels for export raised
on the Pacific slope, which Is now 20
per cent of our entire wheat expert.
and If we could divert that into the
oriental countries and release that sur
plus from the already oyercrowded
European markets the effect would
to raise the price of wheat 20 cen
per bushel on the entire crop OF 600.
600 900 bushels In the United States
which would mean $120,000,OOO extra
profit to American farmers" The
same argument applies to cotton, they
say.

More Expositions.

France Is doing SO well with her
exposition that number OF others
follow its close In Belgium an expo
sition is projected for 1905, and it is
expected that the preliminary works
will be shortly undertaken. Upon the
close of the Universal exposition OF
1900 American exhibitors contemplate
proposing the opening of a technical
fair in Russia. either at St Peters
burg or Moscow. at which their metal
lurgieal products may be displayed
The English have also favored the
holding of an exposition at Moscow
and announce their intention of send
ing here exhibits of their skill in man
ufacture OF machinery. Unwilling to
remain idle at moment of such in
dustrial activity. the Germans have
started movement among all the
chambers OF commerce throughout the
empire FOR the purpose of organizing
an international exposition In Ger
many. More than fifty chambers of
commerce in that country have signi-
fed their intention To co operate In
the project.

A Swiss Market.

Consul. General James T. Dubres.
writing from St. Gall. Switzerland,
dwells upon the marked advance
American goods are making in Swiss
markets. -Four years ago the reader
seldom found the subject OF American
exports treated in the columns OF the
Swiss press, but he now finds a guam
tity of very interesting reading upou
the subject. One can now buy Ameri-
can watches in Berne, although
Chaux de Fonds, the great Swiss
watch centre, Is not far from that
city One can buy American ham and
bacon in Basel and elsewhere. and
the Swiss cavalry horse will be found
sleeping on American straw. But few
well-regulated hardware stores exist
In Switzerland which are unable 10
ill their show windows with the at
tractive looking and solidly made
American hoes, spades, axes, saws.
hammers, locks and the like In the
larger cities there are always shoe
stores containing American shoes,
which have "a popular demand. Amer
lean office desks have good sale. and
are the envy of all who are compelled
to use the old HAT top article.
Everywhere are striking evidences
of the increased export OF American
wares, and the prominence thus being
gradually won has led to much news
paper discussion-a free advertisement
of the increased popularity Of United
States goods.
The American watch case is having
field day in the Land Of Watches"
So large is the importation of these
cases into Switzerland that u general
movement among the Swiss watch
makers Is now taking place TO pre-
vent, OF at least modify, the importa-
ton, IL possible.
A committee OF NatchmakeTs has
been formed to improve the present
system OF matchmaking 50 as to keep
the good name of the Swiss watch In
tact In the foreign as we'll as the
home markets. where American com
petition is being seriously felt. Prizes
of considerable value are TO be offered
TO those who succeed in making any
improvements which may be of ad-
vantage to the export trade As
matchmaking is the industry in which
the Swiss have made great reputa-
tion in all countries, it is natural that
they should be startled by successful
competition from America

responsibilities attaching, after all
these splendid achievements, the Dem

has raised hue and cry charging all
manner of public crimes against the
administration, despotlc use Of power

calling on the nations to behold our na

holy alliance. lr there We're no other |

vote for the Republican candidate for
