THE Syracuse Post Standard is urg-

THE Syracuse Post Standard ia uTg-
ing the establishment Of parcels post.
After citing the fact that most Europ-
can countries have the system already
in vogue it makes this statement; BE
tween England and some of her col
onies parcels posts have been estab-
lished and have proved to be Of great
benefit. British manufacturers can
send samples to the colonies 80 much
cheaper and quicker than they can be
sent from this country that 1t is almost
hopeless for Americans to attempt to
compete in this direction" The parcels
post, both domestic and foreign ia ap-
parently the next great advance in our
service, and the quicker 1t is under
taken the better. Now If some of our
more blatant patriots are as patriotic
rs they claim let them fall In line with
this suggestion for extending our com
merce and facilitating exchange at
home. But they will not do it, be-
cause it would interfere with the pro-
fits Of the express companies who now
do tue business at twice the rates that
would then be charged.

II. G. DUNN 81 Co.'S financial report
for May says that mot over six months
In more than six years have shown as
large defaulted liabilities as May will
show" This does not speak especially
well for prosperity" The fact is, as
may be expected always under a gold
standard, the reaction after the panic
Of '93 brought a great imitation Of
credit which of courseghaj the same
effect on prices as an increase Of
money. There probably has been some
increase OF money owing to the in
creased production Of gold, and the
recent increase in bank circulation,
but mainly the rise in prices has been
caused by the increase of credit. But
credit cannot do business on its own
basis and sooner or later 1t will take a
tumble In our opinion 1t will not be
a great while. If Mckinley should be
elected it may drive along for some
little time. II Bryan should be elected
it will come sharply and quickly, for

barras his administration az much as

AN IMPORTATION OF sugar from
Alexandra, Egypt, recently arrived at
New York The cargo was vauled al
$3.50, 900, and the import duty was
Sl50,O0O The tariff on such sugar is
nearly TWO cents per pound, IL is
claimed that the cost of producing
sugar In the East Indies Is not to ex-
ceed $50 a ton This Is about half as
much as the tariff paid Oh tho Egytan
sugar. The total value Of the sugar
imported into the United States in 1899
was S04 1894 100 and the average value
per pound was . 80 cents.-Kansas

One responsible farmer said that he

Some good veteran republican told us
that there was national and State

KANSAS is again in luck. The wheat
crop this year is the largest ever known
by many million bushels. Weather
could hardly have been better if
made to order. While this is true,
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois and the
other central States have very little or
no wheat. The Dakotas are suffering
drouth and at present, prospects are
very, very poor for much wheat there.
California, Kansas, Oklahoma aud
Texas must furnish the great bulk for
the United States. While this is the
condition in Uncle Sans doninions,

most direful famine, and for three or
four years has been taken out Of the
