year 1899 were $1OO, 100000 greater
than in the fiscal year 1897, and in
1898 were $2OO,OOO,OOO in excess of
those of 1897.
The message also recommended that
the new duties should be so levied as
ito aid and develop mining" That
mining has been greatly encouraged
is amply shown by the figures relating
to the two great mining industries,
coal and iron. The coal production of
1899 exceeds 2OO,OOO,OOO tons, against
179, 900 900 in 1897 and III, COG, 900 in
1896, and has placed the United States
at the head of the worlds producers of
this article, our product in 1899 being
greater than that of any other coun-
try in the world. The pig-iron pro-
duction in 1899 was 13,62O,7 O3 tons,
against 9,652,6SO tons in 1897 and
S,623, 127 tons in 1896 In pig iron, as
in coal, the United States now holds
the first place in the worlds produc-
ton.

Brownies Appeal for Grandma.

A little girl whose parents have given
her the name of Brownie" was recent
ly repeating her prayer of snow, 1 lay
me" to her mother, concluding with an
appeal for blessings to be showered
on each and every member of the fam
lily, The mother tucked her securely
in bed and stepped into an adjoining
room for something before going down
stairs for the night. Presently she
heard low voice in the child's room,
and, going to the door, was surprised
to see the little girl again kneeling at
her bedside. Pausing for moment to
hear what new thought was pulsing in
the small brain, she heard the words:
Say, God, wouldn't that jar you?
I forgot grandma"
Brownies mother tells another story
of the youngsters first party. She re-
turned with her nurse, quite tired, and
sank in her small chair, in the manner

MInnesota CROP Bulletin.

On the whole, the week has been very
favorable for work in the harvest fields
in all parts of the state. Much of the
spring wheat is in shock in southern
counties. and harvest is begun in the
extreme north. Barley Is ripe, and it's
cutting in central and southern portions
is further advanced than is the wheat
harvest; much of the barley is in stack.
The oat crop is generally poor; large
areas of oats have been cut for hay, and
a good deal has been harvested, but as
the stools seem to be heading well many
farmers are waiting for them to ripen
before cutting the crop. Early fax is
ripening. and little has been cut. The
straw of all grains is very short, and
thin on the ground north of the Min
nesota valley, and many headers are
used to cut the wheat instead of bind
ers. which cannot gather the short straw
without considerable loss, and some bar
ley has been mown and stacked loose.
The wheat heads have filled well with
an excellent quality of grain.

FOUR FINANCIAL ACTS
Important Laws That Have Been
Enacted by the Present
Administration.
Success Achieved Under the Dingley
TarifY-Reform in the Currency
War LOan-Paciic Rail-
road Debt.

Neutrality-suspicious. achievements in
the management of the public finances
and revenues under the administra-
ton of President Mckinley stand out
with marked prominence:
First, in point of success, is the
Dingley tariff; second, the reform in
the currency; third, the war loan of
1898, and fourth, the settlement of
the Pacific railroad indebtedness.
Perhaps never before in the his
tory of this country have so many
important fiscal achievements been
accomplished in so brief time. With
the exception of the Pacific railroad
settlement, these events bear. to a
considerable degree, relationship to
each other. Underlying the success
of the war loan of 1898 and the re-
form in the currency was the basis
of prosperity established by prompt
and effective tariff legislation. The
president well understood the neces-
sity for speedy modification in the
tariff. Within 4S hours after his in
auguration he issued proclamation
for an extra session of congress to
assemble March Is, 1897. The brief

CHINESE MILITARY DRILL,
Sham Battles of the Troops Excite the
Risibilities of Those Who Wit
ness Them.

Sham battles form a large part Of
the drill of the Chinese troops. These
are terrible affairs in the eyes of the
natives, but to foreigner they are
extremely farcical, says foreign ex-
change. People living near military
post are awakened nearly every morn
ing by reports of firearms in sufficient
regularity to indicate some intention
in the discharges. This firing is part
of the exercise which battalion goes
through regularly. The exercises of
the battalion-part armed with muz.
zle leaders and part with breech load
ers-is in the genuine Chinese style.
Flags form an important part of the
display, writes recent observer of
one of these affairs. Eleven flags
stood 30 PAGES in the rear of the line,
two large ones in the center, and one
planted so yards in front of the GEN.
ter. Two officers stood facing the
front of the line near a drummer, the
former with his instrument on
stand. The battalion having gone
through some volley firing by ''sec-
tions" of six men each, regulated by
the lowering of the furled flag, the
drummer gave signal, the flags were
unfolded and the variously costumed
soldiery wandered off in single file in
kind of pantomime circular counter
march, at the end of which line forma-
ton in single rank was assumed.
Battalion" volleys were then fired,
the furled flags lowered and the bear
ers pranced out, going through
queer bit of lance exercise, char
acterized by skip and caper and
twirl between eacn point, accompa-
| MED by shout when delivered. This
seems to have been intended as
comic interlude while the musketeers
went through the serious business of
loading. and was repeated between
each volley until the drum again gave
the signal for the pantomime coun-
termarch. On reforming the line
began file firing to the tap of the
drum, single shots running up the
rear and down the front rank, the lat
ter kneeling to fire. The walk round
was repeated and, the line having been
reformed, circular groups of six mus
keteers formed round each flag in
the line, and, moving round the flag
bearer, each man discharged his rifle
as he came to the front, reloading as
he circled. This ended the show and
the performers marched off in sim
gle file, executing a "maze," and the
drummer, who had regulated every
thing with his taps, disappeared with
his companion, the gongman, who
seemed to have chimed in whenever he
thought it would sound well.
Of the artillery drill the observer
says: 'The guns were small modern
Krupps, not horsed. but manned
with drag-ropes. Each gun was ac-
companied by huge flag to enable
the enemy to find his position. Some
| times the guns were aimed, blank car
fridge being fired, and followed by a
great waving of flags. The whole de-
tachment was too crowded and of
| fered splendid target"

DR.. Abercromby tells of one patient
who could, by directing his attention
to an idea, call up to sight the appro.

called up were an object he had never
seen. but had merely imagined. When
meeting friend in the street he could
not be sure whether the appearance
was his friend or a specter illusion till
he had tried to touch it and had heard
the voice. Goethe saw an exact coun.
terpart of himself advancing toward
him, an experience repeated by Wilkie
Collins. Sir Walter Scott relates that
soon after the death of Lord Byron he
read an account of the deceased poet.
On stepping into the hall immedia tely

convened on that day clearly demon
prompt action.
The house of representatives
promptly responded to the presidents
message. On the same day in which
it was read in the house, the late Mr..
Dingley, of Maine. chairman of the
committee on ways and means, in
troduced the new tariff bill. Such
unusual expedition had been made
possible only by the untiring work
of the members of the committee on
ways and means for several months
previous.
The bill was passed in the house of
representatives March 81, 1897, less
than a month after the Inaugural
ton of President Mckinley and two
weeks after congress had convened
in extra session. 1t passed the senate
July z, 1897, with amendments. Two
days later it's consideration was be-
gun by conference committee of the
two houses, and it finally passed the
house July 10 and the senate July "a.
when the president signed the bill.
Thus within five months (no other
tariff law was ever passed in so short
a time) after the Inauguration of
the president a new tariff law was
placed on the statute books. Under
it's benefcent influences the United
States has enjoyed commercial and
industrial revival the greatest in its
history. The hopes of the president
as expressed in his message have been
realized; ample revenues were pro-
vided for the ordinary expenses of
the government, and in providing
them duties were levied upon foreign
products, so as to preserve the home
markets; manufactures have revived
and increased; agriculture has been
relieved and encouraged; domestic and
foreign commerce have been increased;
mining and building have been aided
and developed, and more liberal wages
have been paid to labor.
Under the operation of the Wilson
act, from September 1, 1894, to July
"a, 1897, period of 35 months, there
was a total deficit of $1OS,003, 243.
This deplorable state of the revenues
was largely responsible for that lack
of confidence which prolonged the
hard times inaugurated by the panic
of 1893.
The Dingley tariff became law
July "a, 1897. Under its operation
ample revenues have been provided,
as urged by President Mckinley.
During the period of 30 months the
law has been in force, July "a, 1897,

MINNESOTA NEWS.


At the request of Governor Lind. Otto
Lugger. the state entomologist. prepared
a circular warning Minnesota farmers
against the invasion of grasshoppers and
this with an attractive poster giving in
formation as to the only effective remedy.
1t is feared that an invasion may occur
next season. In the vicinity of the Tur-
tie mountains in Manitoba. the hoppers
are very numerous this season and as
1t has been impossible to exterminate
them, these may migrate to this state
In the early spring. In the western part
of the state. where large farms are owned
by non-residents, they are breeding in
large numbers and may come eastward.
The dangerous Species of hoppers in
variably choose stubble fields in which
to lay their eggs, and for that reason the
circular issued by the entomologist urges
that farmers pillow their stubble fields this
fall. The state officers are working on
some method by which 1t will be possible
to prevent a migration from outside the
state.

53s, there were net receipts of 81 ,o40,-
61S,070. The expenditures for the
same period aggregated $1,366,663.-
4O6, and deducting the treasury de-
partment's estimate of war expendi-
lures of $372, 100000, the net expen-
ditures for the, period stand at $994,-
663, 406, leaving for the 30 months
operation of the Dingley tariff an ex-
cess of net receipts over net expen-
ditures of $45,954,664.
The president urged that the new
duties be so levied as ''to revive and
increase manufactures" In the fs-
cal year 1897 the imports for the con-
sumption of articles in crude con-
dition which enter into the various
processes of domestic industry amount
ed to $207,26S,155, and in the three
years 1895, 1896 and 1897 averaged
less than $2OO,OOO,OO0 annually, while
in the calendar year 1899 the imports
of this class amounted to $267 493,950,
an increase of nearly $4,000, 900 over
the average for the three years Of
low tariff, in which many of these
articles, notably wool, were upon the
free list. At present the importation
of manufacturers materials is run
ming at the rate of 100000 per
month, or more than so per cent.
higher than the monthly average in
the year prior to the enactment of
the Dingley law.
The president also urged that the
new duties should be so levied as ito
relieve and encourage agriculture"
That agriculture has oeen relieved and
encouraged is shown by the increased
prices for agricultural products, all
of which have materially advanced in
the home market, and by the large in
crease in expectation in the products
