VALUE OF SIRES. 5
8 AFFECT ALL CLASSES OF
q LIVE STOCK. g

The history of all breeds Of cattle,
both beef and dairy, al well as of
heavy and light horses and Of sheep
and swine furnishes instances of the
striking influence Of noted sires in the
Improvement of their class wherever
they have been employed, says The
Farmers Advocate of Canada. This
fact serves to emphasize; the vital im-
p~ortance of exercising great care and
gaod Judgment in the selection Of male
animals for use as breeders in the rails
Ing of any class of stock and the wis
dom of utilizing to the fullest extent
the services OF a sire which has proved
his worth by producing uniformly good
stock instead Of turning him off before
half his term of usefulness is over and
risking an untried one, which may
prove a disappointment il not failure.
1t Is well to hold on to d that has
given good results until the new
has been tried and his offspring devel-
oped sufficiently to show whether they
are likely to be satisfactory. It is well
also to select u son Of a prepotent sire
from a superior dam, and, having re-
gard to the influence such a sire may
exert in a herd for good or Ill, the ques-
ton of the purchase price is certainly
but a secondary consideration when
one that fills the bill is procurable at
any reasonable figure. While sires of
outstanding merit in any class or breed
OF stock are by no means plentiful, vet
It would be a mistake to conclude that
only two or three In q decade are pro-
duced in any breed. There are doubt
less many diamonds in the rough that
have not been discovered or estimated
at their true worth for want Of judg-
ment or appreciation, and so there are
many excellent animals which have
lived and died in obscurity or. making
no record above mediocrity which IL
they had fallen into the hands OF men
of skill and Judgment In breeding and
management would have left their
mark prominently on the honor roll Of
their rae as producers If not as prize
winners, and doubtless in every year
In the wide field Of stock raising q
good proportion of this class is born
which need only the proper treatment
to develop Into superior animals and
tudicious mating to prove improyers Of
their sort.

THE fact that these improved condi-
tions," says the correspondent, date
from about the time of McKinleyss
election. is coincidence ever in the
mind of the class especially benefited.
The prophecy of evil and agricultural
ruin made by Col. Bryan four years
ago has proved false in every particu-
lar, so far as relates to agricultural
interests. Consequently the prophet
of evil is discredited." In every par
ticular the business of farming is more
profitable and generally satisfactory
than it was during the last administra-
ton, and the millions engaged in this
great vocation see and appreciate the
change.
Since 1896 the farmers of the west,
according to the correspondent from
New England, have become %independ-
ent and scientific borrowers and OBJ
tain money at a decided reduction of
interest. Instead of 6 or s per cent
interest they pay 5, or even AZ. and
thus save at least S5,0O0,OOO annually.
A lowered rate of interest, it is noted,
marks the difference between good
times and hard times. It shows the
farmer in a state of prosperity Instead
of distress. It shows the farmer in
the saddle, and master instead of SER
want Banks in small towns have
multiplied. During his journey the
correspondent visited a large city
bank holding deposits from 1900 coun-
try banks of 8 100000, or double the
amount on deposit three years ago.
There has been in the same time an
ing lands of from 10 to 15 per cent.
One firm with outstanding loans to
farmers amounting to $10,0OO,0O0 re-
ported a default in interest on July !
of less than $500. The rural country
is full of money of its own which COM
petes with the funds of insurance COM
Ipanies for investment in farm mort
cages; and farmers borrow now to i'm
prove and extend their business, not to
meet living expenses.
An era of better prices and improved
credit has come to the farmers along
with a republican administration, iden-
titled with the gold standard, a pro
~tectiVe tariff, a treasury surplus and
necessary, honorable national expan,
sion. The Boston correspondent who
has taken a close view of the farmers

fact that 1t Is best established from

Every prediction made by Bryan In
the campaign of 1896, except that OF
his W. election, mas been proven to
be false by the history Of the last four

he does not know what he is talking

farming situation in the western
states, and makes a long report on the

handsome jacket of hair which had
covered him from his hind legs to his
shoulders lay under his feet, and his
body was wrapped closely with fine
lace!
The knife of the smuggler who had
fled had solved the mystery of the
frontier, and Herman knew why the
officers had given his father orders to
watch the dog.

Herman was as good as his word,

the strange discovery he had made they
took steps to arrest the little French
man; but he effected his escape, get
ting away without his dog.
Bruno was presezted to Herman by
the customs officers, and when his yell

II really was an. Afoscow's~
comrade, and the dog seemed as much
delighted with the meeting as was Her
man, the boy guard.
The storm had by this time abated,
and Herman sat down on a rock and
fondled the st. Bernard.
"Listen to me, Bruno" said the boy,
as he saw by the starlight the large
eyes of the dog fixed upon him. do
you know that you are accused of cross
ing the frontier alone? They say that
you come over into Switzerland one day
and go back the next. Aha. old fellowl
are you smuggler, tool"
Bruno's reply was a renewed licking
OF Herman's hand.
"Come to the cabin with me-" con-
tinued the boy, rising.
And when he started off down the
pass he had the dog at his heels. M
A few minutes afterward the Swiss
boy reached the hut. and was about to
turn on the dog, which had followed
him in, when he was accosted by a
gruff voice.
"Are you the guards boy ?" it said.
Bruno set up low growl as Her
man turned and saw before him a
rough, esperate-looking character, a
man who looked bad enough to do
anything.

answered.

isn't that right, too?"

The right foot of the man slipped |
forward, and Herman, as he instinct
lively retreated, saw long knife along |
the smuggler's sleeve.
The boy guard hardlyknew what to
do. He knew that the man was bent |
on dark mischief, for his eyes seemed
to glow like Goals. w "a
Suddenly Bruno, without warning of
any kind, leaped at the smuggler, and
in twinkling the two, man and dog,
were struggling against the wall of the
hut.
Then it was that the man became un-
for in the fight his false beard
dropped to the floor, and Herman rec
ognized fellow whom he well knew.
With sharp cry the man pushed
the dog off and struck with his knife
at the same time; then, as Bruno was
recovering at Herman's feet, he darted
from the cabin and disappeared.
The next moment Herman opened his
eyes wide with amazement, for Bruno
was no longer the beautiful dog he
had been. He stood erect, looking

Gus government, in which the inhab-

This is always and everywhere the
promise of Imperialism to subjugated
peoples. 1t is what Mr.. Chamberlain
proposes for the Beers. AS Mr.. Bryan
pertinently asks: did not the Eng
fish government lin 1776) promise a
good government to the colonists :?
What king ever promised bad gov
eminent to his people?"
The democratic policy is based upon
a recognition of the freedom and in
dependence of the Philippines. The
republican policy contemplates the
retention and permanent
government of the islands by force.
Is not this difference vital? Does it
not truly measure the difference be-
tween Imperialism, "the spirit of en-
pire," and democracy, the essence of
freedom?-N. Y. World.

sWbat IL the difference between the
denocra tic and the republican atti-
tude toward the Philippines? y
The New York Times affirms that
there is practically no difference. 1t
attempts to justify this opinion by a
pettifogging paraphrase of the two
policies. P VI.
In a matter of such moment are not
the people entitled to judge the par
ties and the candidates by their own
words and acts? Mr.. Mckinley in his
speech of acceptance says:
The Philippines are ours, and American
authority must be supreme throughout the
archipelago. There must be no scuttle
policy
Mr.. Bryan in his speech takes the
position that the Philippines belong
to the Filipinos, and that the Filipinos
own themselves. He says:
"If governments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed, 1t is im-
possible to secure title to people either by
force or by purchase. Force can de-
fend a right, but force has never yet Great
ed right. If 1t was true, as declared In the
resolutions of Intervention, that the Cupans
"are and of right ought to be free and indie
pendent Language taken from the Declar-
alton of independence, 1t is equally true
that the Filipinos are and of right ought
to be free and independent
Is there not vast and vital diff
ference between these two positions?
1t is the difference between independ-
ence and dependence, between polit-
ical freedom and vassalage, between
self-government and rule by "sov-
ereign" power. Is there practically
no difference" between the state OF
Switzerland and that of Egypt-be-
tween the status of Porto Rico and
that of New Mexico?
So much for the attitude of the two
parties and candidates toward the
rights of the case. The difference is
equally wide and vital in regard to
our future policy. Treating the Phil
ippines as "ours"-our authority as
