AN OPPORTUNITY.

Drought effects are not merely local.
The East-the manufacturing centers-
will feel the results of the dry weather
in the Middle West as much as Missouri
ans or hansans. A nicely balanced sys-
tenn OF trade makes the loss Of a per
centum in Western crop felt proper
tionately in the sales of manufactured
products usually shipped to agricultural
communities
Indications point to a season of econo-
my on the part of the farmers who have
been affected by the drought. This
economy will not be Of the parsimonious
sort made necessary by years of crop
failures, but will be sensible harboring
Of resources gained through compare
lively long period Of agricultural pros
perity.
There is no denying the fact that the
farmers Of the West are in better posi-
ton TO stand a drought than they have
been for decades-in fact, it is doubtful
whether conditions have ever been so
favorable for the short backset. With
mortgages paid off, new machinery fill
ing new buildings, with wise distribu-
ton OF crops, and, in many cases, with
surplus in the bank, the entire West
is in a position to take an inventory with
anything but dissatisfied mind.
Yet the drought will simply cause the
people to CONSERVE their wealth. The
wool mills of the East will appreciate
the fact that perhaps last years ward
robes will prove equal to another years
service. Manufacturers of machinery
will find that a little extra care on the
part of the agriculturist viii prove
that sufficient supplies Of implements
will till the soil and harvest the crops.
These results are logical The agricul-
turist who does not exercise this wise
discretion will show his inaptitude at
farming. The manufacturer who fails
to seize the chance to broaden his mar
kets will also neglect business oppor-
tunity forced upon him by a natural
event which should be turned into a
blessing.
Though the United States have been ex-
tending their trade in foreign markets,
the home consumption Of manufactured
products has absorbed larger quantities
than ever before. Mills and factories
| have been running Mt their full capaci-
ties for years. The same state should
be continued by a broadening process
| that home conditions have practically
made impossible Of late years. Ameri.
can goods should be introduced in mar
kets abroad as never before. Foreigners
should be made acquainted with Ameri.
can methods and products.
Unless this strengthening of the for.
eign trade Is assured, the effects of the
drought in the Middle West will prove
even more disastrous than conditions
warrant. In rising to the necessities OF
the case, American manufacturers will
show themselves truly appreciative of q
situation that should call forth all theii

REpI;RLlc SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, July 22-Retaliatory lesis-
lation may be enacted by Congress If the
German Government yields to the demand
OF the agrarians and imposes the proposed
increased duties on farm products.
Diplomatic representations may be made
to Germany through Ambassador White
protesting against the proposed increases
of duty, but tho President can go no fur
Their. There can be no retaliation without
action by Congress. as there is nothing in
the present law authorizing the Executive
Department to adopt such measures except
to a very limited extent.
While the new German duties are to be
general and apply equally to I'M
ports from all countries. 1t is felt
here that they are aimed especial
ly at the United States. for the rea-
son that they are to be imposed upon
goods imported chiefly from this country.
If the new duties are imposed. it will be

 Usually the club stays at home and entertains the prominent guests of Chicago, but this time 1t has decided to enjoy vacation and through Pres ident Ripley's efforts it's members have decided to take an extended tour throughout the west. going out over the Santa Fe via Phoenix and Los Angeles and returning over the Union Pacific through Salt Lake City and Denver the trip will take from six weeks to two months, and it is hoped that by the time of the eturn home its members will have realized the ex- tent. importance and possibilities or the arid west for as becomes progres- sive, wide-awakeN business men, and there are no more so than these, they will one and all put their shoulders to the wheel and join in the cause of na- tional aid in irrigation and water stor- age. It is hoped that MT. George H. Maxwell. general chairman of the Ma tional Irrigation association, will be able to be here at the same time, as he is we'll acquainted with the men- bers, having been their guest last fall and his speech at one of their monthiy banquets having created most Ia vorable impression and won several friends for the cause. MT. Maxwell has advised the local committee that he hopes to get away from Washington in time to be here. if his duties in that city will permit his absence.
 The reception committee of the board of trad Is hard at work com pletlng its plans fo. the entertainment of the visitors, and as the club, through its secretary. has requested that speech making and banquets, be en- tirely omitted from the plans in it's behalf, it has decided that the pro. posed steer-tying contest, to be held at the park. will prove to be both novel and interesting and give the visitors a sight that few of them have ever see n before. Superintendent McCowan has promised to have his wards on dress parade, and a visit to the ostrich farm Is in view. if time permits.
 A letter from Los Angeles yesterday morning contains the news that ex- tensivc plans are being made for the entertainment of the club in that city. and that the Californans are prepar- ing to do their best, so that 1t remains for the citizens of Phoenix to see that they are not outshown in the matter or hospitality and welcome.
