during the years OF the hard times.
The total investments in American ag-
riculture is estimated at $l7,55O, 900, 900.
which is a gain of nearly 10 per cent.
since 1858. The increase in the number
OF farms in the United States during
the past ten years is estimated at about
400 900. A larger number OF these farms
(6s per cent? are occupied by their
owners now than ever before, while
the number Of farms under mortgage
has materially decreased. The amount
OF mortgages on farms occupied by
their owners is estimated at about
$500, 100000 less than at the beginning
of the decade. Mortgages now aver
age only about % per cent. Of the farms
they are on. The rate Of interest has
declined. and the great bulk OF mort
cages now in force were incurred to
buy the farm or to improve It."
All these facts and conclusions are
significant. They go far-very far
toward disproving the free trade theory
that the protective tariff system is a
detriment rather than an advantage to
the agriculturalist. 1t is a fact that
the free trade theorist too often and
very conveniently overlooks that when
the manufacturing and commercial in
terests of the country are prosperous,
the farmer naturally shares in the gen.
eral prosperity. Industrial prosperity
means for the farmer a better home
market than is possible in dull times;
and the home market is worth more to
the farmer, generally speaking, than
all the markets of the world put to-
gether
The American farmers are an intelli-
gent class Of men. They are close OBJ
servers Of current events, and are close
students Of industrial and economic
questions. For these reasons they will
be found voting almost solidly in the
coming election for the republican can
didates and continuance of the phe-
nomenal prosperity in which they have
participated so freely during the past
four years.

TO PARIS IN 1900.

The passenger department Of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railway
has taken advantage Of the current In
terest in the Paris Exposition and has
printed for free distribution one Of the
most charming books Of the season, en-
titled, "Gllmpses Across the Sea-" It's
contents describe a recent voyage
across the Atlantic made by Sam T.
Clover, journalist and author, and In
cIudes his diversified experiences In
London and Paris. The "Gllmpses"
are entertaining and instructive to the
prospective western patrons Of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railway,
who may be contemplating q trip to
Europe. The enterprise Of the railway
company in augurating such a happy
departure from the ordinary methods
Of advertising is commendable.
