THE FARMERS AHEAD.

The Railway Age, while conceding THAI
the railways were fairly prosperous last
year, contends that the farming interests
were also, says the Baltimore Sun. The
farmers, in fact, were more prosperous
than the railways, it is affirmed, if net re-
suits are considered. The gross earnings
of all the railways in the fiscal year 1900,
according to the Interstate CONNER ce
Commission, were 100000 greater
than in 1859, but the value of the chief
crops in the same year was $247 900 900
greater than in the preceding year. The
farmers increase of income was the greater
by as much as SS0,00O,O0O Cotton gave
$72 900, 600 of increase; wheat, $4,000, 900;
corn, 1928 900, 900; hay, $27, 200, 900. These
figures refer to gross earnings and re-
ceipts. When it comes to net returns the
farmers are far ahead of the railways. The
increased prices of wheat, corn, cotton and
other products were not attended by CORE
spending increase or by any increase prac
tically III the cost of production. But with
'Ao IAN " "y IL "dS Vel J uillelcul. UIOSS
earnings increased S167 ,OO0,O 900 but operat-
ing expenses increased nearly ,OO0, 900,
leaving the increase of net earnings only
$67 100000. Moreover, other incomes than
traffic earnings, according to the figures of
the commission, decreased $3S 100000. SO
that the net income WIS actually 100000
900 less than in 1892

The briggs Scabury Gun and Ammunition
Company, which was given free use of
government machinery in he Frankfort
Arsenal to enable it to fill its contracts
with this government, and while it was
months behind in its deliveries it dropped
United States work and accepted two con-
tracts for similar work from the govern
ment of Colombia, using the machinery
belonging to this government to make
them. When Secretary Roots attention
was called to the matter he asked the con-
tractors to make an explanation, which
contracts were profitable and that they
needed the money or words to that effect.
And Secretary Root accepted that as a
satisfactory explanation. But the end is
not Yet. The rival company is threaten
ing a suit in Court, and in any event the
matter will be heard from in Congress.
Governor Odell of New York, who has
jumped into notorety by his casting off

cording to inside Washington gossip, as
New 1ork's anti Teddy candidate for the
Republican Presidential nomination in
1904 Senator Fairbanks continues to be
spoken of as the administration candidate,
but the man the administration really
wishes to see nominated and will get nomi-
mated if there is the slightest chance of
doing so without splitting the party is
Marcus A. Hanna. OF course, it is
Hanna's cue now to poohpooh any talk of
his being a candidate, but all the same he
intends to get that nomination if he can.
There is a growing suspicion that there
is close connection between the opposi-
ton of some of the big syndicates oper
ating in several lines of Cuban industry
against the Withdrawal of American au
thority from the island, and the report
| that the Cubans are going to refuse to
comply with the conditions imposed by
Congress for American withdrawal and
that If close investigation were made it
would be found that these syndicates were
| using money to influence the Cubans just
| as agents for those syndicates brought in
| fluence to bear upon Mr.. Mckinley for
the purpose Of persuading him to take no
| steps toward carrying out the pledge of
Congress that our authority should be
withdrawn as soon as the Cubans were in
| position to govern themselves. Public
sentiment was so strongly in favor of
| keeping our pledge that Mr.. Mckinley
would not be persuaded. If the Cubans
refuse to fill the conditions American au-
thorty will continue until Congress sees
fit to change the conditions, which it
might not do at all

A CAnp.
TO OUR FRIENDS AND CITIZENS
OF PRINCE GEORGES COUNTY.

4 S announced in last Fridays papers
IA we publish the following card hoping
that it will be read by every one in this
county, and especially by the residents of
Marlboro and vicinity.
We have bought at a sacrifice the 81 900
stock of goods at the White Elephant
Store in this town and will be able to sell
at surprisingly low prices ewant to get
rid of these goods. Not because they are
not of the best quality for every article
is seasonabe and good, but because we
want to, aud MUST make room for
our new stock of goods which will arrive
at Marlboro Station on Monday, April
10Th, the same day we open up for bust
ness.
When we decided to take this store, we
decided to do the BUSINESS. We know
how to do the business. At least we
know how to buy the goods and sell them
at Is per cent. less than any merchant in
Marlboro. In the first place we can buy
goods as cheap AS any dealer in the coun
ty in the second place we can sell them
at less profit, because We don't have to
hire any clerks. We are going to work
for the people of Prince Georges county
for one year for nothing. Our compet:-
tors are at big expense; and it is but
NATURAL tudt IueS HAVE 10 dutl lD earn al
ticle SO much for each clerk in order to
pay him his or her salary. Live and let
Live" will be OUR motto, and we will live
up to it.
1t is certainly source of great pride
and qualification to US when we are told
by every one that there is nothing but
success ahead of US and that we have the
right ideas about business, and last, but
not least, that my patronage is yours
and all that l can do to help you, will be
cheerfuily done"
Don't forget that on the 18th of April
we open. We won't mind showing our
goods to any one, even if they havnt the
least idea of buying because we are conf
dent that the goods and prices will do
more towards selling them than any game
of talk you can put up"
We are going to carry full line of
General Merchandise we'll stacked Coal
Wood and Lumber yard, a Feed Store
Department. Our bar will be stocked
with the finest Wines and Liquors. We
know that you can't sell goods unless you
have them and we also know that WE
CAN SELL THEM at the prices we ask
for them.
Remember that cali will be convinc-
ing. Respectfully Yours,

MARYLAND INDUSTRIAL
STATISTIC

The ninth annual report of the Ma
ryland Bureau Of Industrial Statistics,
of which Mr.. Thomas A. Smith is
chief and Mr.. Jacob Schonfarber is as
sistant, has been submitted to the
Governor This is notable report,
says the Baltimore San, and d.a's
with variety of subjects which have
not heretofore occupied the attention
of such bureaus as this. The inform
alton the book supplies Of the State OF
Mary land. its agriculture, its fisheries,
its mines, seems to be accurate and is
exceedingly interesting. The book al
so deals with labor conditions, and
gives detailed histories of various
strikes. N,tv thstandng the condi-
tions of prosperity of which we hear SO
much, Mr.. Smith declares there were
more labor strikes in Maryland dur
ing the year 1900 than in any year
since 1877. The number of laborers
who were engaged in strikes in this
State last year was over 10000 and
their loss of wages while idle is given
as exceeding a million dollars, while in
addition the employers lost over one
third Of that amount, or S542 900.
Thirty or forty strikes are recorded
and in ten of them the strikers gained
an increase of wages. Mr.. Smith con-
cludes that Cancellation and arbitra-
tion are essential in avoiding or set
thing labor troubles.
A feature OF the report which will
be Of especial interest to farmers is a
calculation of the cost Of cultlvating
an acre in wheat, corn and other crops.
The cultivation of an acre which pro-
duces ten bushels of wheat costs, in
Guiding grass seed and fertilizer, $40,
while the product of wheat at 20 cents
bushel is but, 81. 1t is plain that
farming of that character does not
pay. On the other hand, where forty
bushels are raised on an acre the cost
of production is $l4.10 and the wheat
will sell for $2S, leaving a handsome
profit. The tables also show that there
is no profit in producing fifteen bush
els of corn to the acre, but yield OF
eighty bushels leaves profit of about
SIS at 80 cents bushel, besides the
fodder. The value of the cereals pro-
duced in the State in 1900 is estin a'cd
at about SIT 100000, the potatoes
at s6s5,c00 ard hay at more than 81
100000. The valuation Of the dairy
and poultry products probably ex-
ceeds that Of the wheat crop, which is
given at S1O,7S3,GOO.
Mr. Smiths report makes splendid
exhibit Of the wealth of the fisheries OF
Maryland, including the oyster trade
try.
Some attention is given to sweat
shops and the conclusion is reached
that Baltimore has less of the objection
able system than any other large city.
The report also gives an account OF
the efforts Of the bureau to maintain
an employment agency. which is handi-
capped 10y lack Of funds. There are
also interesting chapters upon immi-
grafton to the State and upon the sys.
TEN of manual training schools, which
has been started in late years and
which is highly commended.
Altogether the report is most val
liable contribution to Maryland Stats
tics and is most creditable to the bu-
reau which has issued it.
