The Girl and her Vocation.

e'The future wage-earning girl
should have in her mind during the
latter part of her school life the selec-
ton of her profession" writes Mar
garet E. Sangster in the Novem Der
Ladies' Home Journal. Il think it
well for her too, very quietly, but
with intention. to cast about among
her friends for suggestions, to ask the
kind offices of one and another, and
TO make known her need CT immediate
employment so soon as she leaves
school. Many good positions are lost
beeaa Sc of indecision or false pride or
unwise reticence on the part of those
who seek them. The mental attitude
of the girl in search of employment
should be neither indifferent nor pat
ronizing; she should set in motion
every legitimate means. and let those
who may be able to assist her know
something of her situation. They
can help, and she can seek with much
greater hope of success if the goal in
view be something definite.

FOR THE ENTERPRISING.
Good Prospects for Profitable Invest
ment in the Philippine Is
lands.

A most promising field of endeavor
is being investigated by agents of
the United States department Of agri-
culture in the Philippine islands. 1t
is believed that the rubber tree can
be successfully grown in the southern
islands of the archipelago. If the ex-
periments prove successful new ave
nue. for american enterprise is open.
The country's demand for rubber is
constantly widening, the imports in
1894 being SIS, 1873, while those in
the year ended June 30. 1900, were over
twice as much, or 31,555,4s3. The de-
mand is growing at a still greater
ratio

MAKES HOME MARKETS.
Increase of Manufactures Is Fol-
lowed by Increased Demand
for Farm Products

Our imports of crude articles not
manufacturing purposes, amounted
to S191.119,s1O in the fiscal year 1895.
These had increased in 1900 to 1902
264,1O6. Nothing in the way OF statis-
tics has more clearly demonstrated
the growth of our industries; for
when these manufactures grow, 9TH
ers viii necessarily grow relatively.
The point of this to the producers
OF this country is that as manufac-
lures increase. just in like proportion
does their home market for wheat,
corn. wool, cotton and live stock IN

Wealth and Brains Combined Do
Much for the Good of the
People.

"The large trust and combinations
already formed and being formed by
aggregations of capital are considered
hurtful to the masses and the COM
mon people. This is a theory. Theo-
retically, a thing may be so, and prac-
tically it may be very untrue. When
we speak of trusts and combines we
think of the Standard Oil trust, the
sugar trust, the tobacco trust, etc.
When the Standard Oil trust was
formed l was paying 40 cents a gallon
for kerosene oil: l am getting it now
for ten cents gallon. l was paying
12R cents for sugar several years ago,
but when the combines set in we got
it at 5A. When the whisky
trust was organized l was in hopes it
would put up whisky where the poor
devils couldn't get it, but they have
seemed to cheaper that down to
where they can pay the government
S1.10 gallon revenue on it and yet
sell it for S1.27, which demonstrates
that they are making it and letting
the public have it at about 171s cents
gallon. including the barrel
There is no doubt about the aggre-
cation of wealth, with brains con-
trolling it. that they can manufacture
any article cheaper than it is or has
been manufactured on a small scale.

and the professions as they marched.

price of any product."-Rev. Sam p.

Gain of Over a Billion Dollars
for Farmers So Far
This Year.
Prices They Received as Compared
with Those of Former Demo-
cratic Times.
Convincing Argument in Favor Of the
Election of Mckinley and
Roosevelt.

The farmers are enjoying a remark
able era of prosperity under the re-
publican policy of protection at home
and trade expansion abroad, which
brings to the producing classes the
best sort of markets at home and in
lands across the sea.
Farm products in the United States
in 1900 are worth $1.212, 100000 more
than the same products were in 1896.
These figures are official, and are
from the United States department of
agriculture.
The increase comes in more crops
and in the aggregate value of live stock
on the farms. The gain in farm wealth
is shown in the following table:
Increase in nine crops. ....$ 10,722,611

FARM VALUE
Total 81. $50, 1874, $50 s2.7O7 O57, 500


American farmers received almost
s115,o0o,o 900 more money for their
wheat this year, under republican pros
perity, than they did in 1896 under
democratic depression This year the
people can afford to buy bread. In 1896
thousands of them were starving and
begging for bread.
The American farmers received $346,-
100000 more money this year for their
corn crop than they did in 1896.
They received nearly 1854, G0O, 900
more money for their cotton than they
did in 1896. This year the mills were
open and there was a demand for cot
ton.
American farmers received nearly
Sac, 900 900 more money for their crop
OF oats this year than they did in 1896.
They received nearly s22, 100000 more
money for their potatoes this year
than they did in 1896. People could af-
ford TO buy potatoes this year, as the
mills were open and good wages were
being earned.
They received over $4,000, 900 more
money for their barley this year, and
barley is one of the smallest of the
staple crops.
They received almost Sc 5000, 900 more
money for their rye crop, which is an
other of the small staples.
American farmers have also gained
over $500, 100000 this year in the value
OF their live stock as compared with
1896, according to the department ot
agriculture's figures. Thus we have:
Inc. this year. $40. 722 6l7 in staple crops.
Inc this year. sol. .474 in live stock
Total Inc. 81. 212. 167. 091 in farmers prop
erty in 1900.
The farmers will not throw away the
substance for the shadow They will
vote for continuance of republican
prosperity as against a return of dem
ocratic adversely. They will vote for
Mckinley and Roosevelt. They viii
not vote for Bryan and Stevenson.
