GROWTH OF TRUCK FARMING.
Small beginning of the business of
shipping Fresh Vegetables and
Fruits 10 the Cities.

No longer ago than 1s47 clerk on a
Charleston boat CHANGED to speak to
some friends in New York of the fresh
vegetables to be had in the southern
city. 1t was winter, and his statement
was challenged by one of the listeners.
On his next trip north, therefore, he
brought basket of vegetables, inclpd-
ing two boxes Of Strawberries. They
were placed on exhibition in shop
window and attracted endless atten-
ton, says Youths Companion.
That was the beginning of the bust
ness of truck-farming in the United
States. Until the middle of the CEN
fury the fruits and vegetables raised
on nearly all farms were intended for
home consumption, or for sale in mar
kets close at hand. To-day California
fruit and vegetables go all over the
world, and the northern cities live all
winter on garden produce raised in
Florida or the gulf states.
Many of the improved facilities now
offered by the railroads are directly
due to the handling Of perishable ag-
ricultural products. Routes have
been shortened, cars ventilated, refrig-
Grafton provided, and the number and
speed of trains increased, until veg
tion thousand miles from where they
were raised.
Intensive rather than extensive farm
ing is the watchword of the producer
of garden truck. The average size OF
the farm is only about Is acres, but
some of the ten-acre plots are so well
cultivated that they produce $4,000
worth of truck in season.
In the neighborhood of Boston much
of the land used for this purpose is
under glass, and the soil in which the
vegetables are started is carefully ster-
ilized by steam. The expense is, of
course, great, but the extra quality of
the product and the higher price at
which it sells make the profits larger
The services of electricity even have
been enlisted, and many of the green
houses are lighted at night by large arc
lamps, by which an improvement OF
Is per cent. in the growth of the plants
and of ten per cent. in the quality is
secured.
To the money value Of the truck
farms must be added the greater serv-
ice they perform in placing fresh veg
etables within the reach of almost
! every family, even in winter. That is
a contribution both to general comfort
and to public health.

POLICY OF DEMOCRATS.
The Outlook for . Vigorous and In-
teiIigent Opposition Not En-
couraging.


Senator Bailey, of Texas, formerly
democratic leader in the house, -
quoted as saying that there will be
no meeting of the democratic mem
beers of congress to outline policy
of opposition, but that events will
be allowed to take their course. Prob
ably this is the best that can be
done. For you cannot tell what
you are going to oppose until you
know what is going to be done, says
the Indianapolis News Qnd). Thus,
to q certain extent, the democrats
must meet issues as they rise, and be
governed largely by circumstances.
Yet it does not seem to be remem-
bered that opposition to be effective
and to command respect must grow
out of certain well-defned and firmly
held principles. II the democrats
were conscious of having these, they
would understand that their oppose
ton was not something born of the
occasion, but the necessary and inev-
liable result of their doctrines. Where
there was no issue between them and
the republicans there would be no
disagreement for the mere sake of
disagreement. For instance, Senator
Bailey says that he is for the 18TH
milan canal, and that il the new
treaty is as strongly American as it
is said to be, he will support 1t. This
is proper, of course. Yet the diff
Guilty is that the democrats are like
ly to find so many points of agree
ment with the republicans that they
| will generally be, supporting repub-
| lican policies. Most of the democrats
| are expansionists, and so will favor
holding to our new possessions. They
cannot oppose the republican party
| for refusing to enact further cur
rency legislation-as it may do. 1t
| will be hard to make an issue either
antagonizing subsidy legislation, the
democrats will find many republic
ans with them.
| So it will be seen that it is diff
cult matter not simply to map out q
! programme in advance, but to lay
down any broad general principles
for the guidance of the party. This
is one of the great weaknesses of
the present democratic organization.
1t has the appearance of waiting idly
and helplessly for something to hap
pen that may give it chance again.
1t may be that nothing better than
this can be expected at the present
time. But even If this be so the
situation is none the less unfortu-
nate. The outlook for vigorous,
aggressive and thoroughly intelli-
gent opposition party is not encour-
aging. The democratic party is as
badly Off as the liberal party in Great
Britain, and nothing worse than this
could be said.

between Pennsylvania and Maryland,
which was surveyed in the years 1853
to 1867, was run by the stars and not by
the needle, great piece of foresight
in that day. If it had been surveyed
by the compass in 1900 1t would have
shown a deviation in some places of
two miles. Were the line to be run by
uncorrected compass to-day, the varia-
tion would reach nearly 10 miles to the
south, and the rich coal-fields of two
Maryland counties would be thrown
into Pennsylvania.
The discovery of the magnetic
needles shortcomings is believed to
have been made during the voyage Of
Columbus. The disclosure really con-
stituted a high tribute to the scientific
perceptions of that day, even though 1t

NOT TRUE TO THE POLE.
Discovered Away Back In
Columbian Time.

Few familiar sayings convey more
erroneous notion than the phrase:
"True as the needle to the pole" In
order to keep track of the unfaithful-
ness of the needle to the pole, or the
variation of the compass from true
north, the United States maintains a
separate bureau, the division of terres-
trial magnetism. The government is
now preparing, in cooperation with
European countries, greatly to enlarge
its work, and to make the investiga-
tions of 1902 memorable for their thor
oughness, says Youths Companion.
The magnetic needle varies not only
at different places, but the variation
changes from year to year, and even at
different times in the day. On the
"magnet-survey" charts those places
which at particular time have
the same amount of variation are
connected by what is known as an
isogonic, or equal variation, line.
Through those points on the map in
which there is no variation of the
needle from the true north line
known as the agonic passes.

THERE WILL BE NO TINKERING

Well to Let II Remain
with Us.

Democratic papers are able to APP
plaud one republican member of the
congress about to assemble, and that
consin, who has prepared bill to re-
wise the iron and steel tariff sched-
ule. Mr.. Babcock assumes that his
bill would regulate prices in the in
terest of American consumers. That
point is entirely conjectural. Aaer-
lean consumers are not complaining,
unless it is of a shortage of railway
cars to get iron, steel and other man
ufactured products as fast as they
are wanted. American workers in
steel and iron industries are not COM
planning. They are all employed at
good wages. The rule of letting well
enough alone is good. Within ten
years there have been three pro-
longed periods of tariff revision. The
last brought forth the tariff which
Nelson Dingley shaped and President
Mckinley approved. Both were great
masters of the tariff question. Their
object was to restore prosperity. 1t
is here, says the st. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat, and it would be unwise to
risk existing conditions by experi-
menting with theories like the one
advanced by Mr.. Babcock.
The tariff question cannot be re-
opened at one single point. A pro-
longed change in the steel and iron
schedule means corresponding at
tack on many other schedules. Mr..
Babcock is not the only tariff the
orist in congress. The others are
equally sure that they can guess re-
suits correctly. Tariff making at
best is disturbing to business. Mar
gins of profit are involved in scores
of industrial interests. Tariff changes
often settle the question whether a
factory shall keep on or close. A
tariff contest in congress induces, for
| the time being, inaction in business.
The United States is enjoying under
| the present tariff the busiest and
most prosperous times the country
has ever known. Mr.. Babcock's the
DRY will be much safer on the shelf
beside the tariff lobby than as an en-
tering wedge to admit the whole
army of tariff rippers. Ostensibly
aimed at large steel and iron estab-
lishments, it would hit the people. It
is distinctly an ill-advised hazardous
| proposition

TRADE IN HUMAN BEINGS.
the soudan Despite the OBJ
[tections of England.

A human being may be bought to-
day in the Soudan for $50.
That is to say, if you are econom-
ical in bent you may secure your
slaves at this figure. They will be
but IA years old, however, and not
very strong. To get mature, ro-
bust and experienced slave you will
be obliged to pay considerably more.
The maximum price is $500.
And much of this goes on under
the British flag. England has done
her best to put check to the slave
trade. 1t is so firmly rooted, how
ever, that although 255 agents of the
British government, each equipped
with camel, are constantly en-
ployed in trying to stamp out the
man trade, it fourishes in spite Of
them, says the New York World.
Most of the 25 offenders convicted
during the last IL months were
sheiks of the Rashidas, one of the
most troublesome and dreaded tribes
of the Soudan. The activity against
them, however, has driven most of
them into Italian territory.
The slave trade at Jeddah has been
the most serious. The principal traf-
fic is from Massaua and the coast to
the northward in Italian territory,
Abyssinia, Hodeida and Yemen. Ye-
men is noted for the export of the
slaves who are procured from Abys-
sinia.
At Jeddah there are 12 wealthy
slave merchants whose names and
depots are well known.
The prices of slaves are: Male or
female, IA years old, about $50; Ia
to 20 years, 500 to $125; 20 to 80
years, $3.50 each.
In Medina and Mecca the prices OF
both sexes rise so per cent. and up
ward, while some readily command
from $500 to $500 each.
A traveller who recently crossed
Abyssinia, entering by the leila
route and leaving by the Blue Nile,
said that slavery existed in that por-
ton of the country under the con-
troll of Menelik, but in restricted
and comparatively humane form.
The powerful chiefs alone are per.
mitted to acquire domestic slaves
who become in effect members of the
household.
There are no auctions nor open
sales. In the country of Godjam
however, which is nominally subject
to Menelik, the institution of slav
cry openly exists, and public sales
take place in the ordinary weekly
markets.
The supply of victims for this traf
fc is obtained principally by organ
lied raids upon the country inhabited
by mixed Shangalla tribes.

WHAT THE PEOPLE KNOW.
Advantages Resulting from the
Working Out OF Republican
Policies.


at would seem," wistfully re.
marks Mr.. Bryan, in comment on the
recent elections, that republican pol
icies ought to arouse overwhelming
opposition among the wealth pro-
ducers of the country, for surely no
man who earns his living can point
to any advantages which the repub-
lican party brings to the masses OF
the people. But they evidently fail"
he plaintively adds, Ito appreciate
the viciousness of the principles
which are at work."
What Mr.. Bryan fails to appreciate,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean, is the
fact that the people can and do un-
derstand the advantages that repub-
lican policies bring to them. In
order to understand they have but to
contrast their present condition with
that under which they suffered few
years ago. Then one faction of the
democratic party had paralyzed in
dustry by destroying the confidence
of capital in its profit-making pow

For this calamity the democratic
faction led by Mr.. Bryan proposed a
most wonderful remedy, 1t was
nothing less than to cut in two the
value of the artisans wages. The
republican party, however, proposed
to continue to pay the artisan in 100
Ill M h.
to assure his getting them by restor-
ing capitals confidence in the profit
making powers of industry.
The majority of the people under
stood and approved the republican
party's policies and returned it to
| power. 1t restored capitals con-
fidence in the future industry and in
the security of investment 1t as
sured labor of employment and that
it's wages would be paid in currency
worth exactly what it professed to
be. The result of this restoration OF
confidence and assurance of justice
was speedily seen. The country en-

The republican party did more. II
led the nation to victory in war, vim
Dictated it's honor, delivered millions
long oppressed, and enlarged the
boundaries of freedom. Mr.. Bryan
sought to convince the people that
they were going forward, not to
glory, but shame-that the expan-
sion of their dominions was not an
extension of liberty, but the estab.
lishment of slavery-and that their
only salvation was to run away from
their plain duty and destiny.
Once more the people, in ma
| jority, even more overwhelming, ap
proved republican policies and re
jected Mr.. Bryan's. Incapable him
self of understanding the people, Mr.
Bryan now takes refuge in the las
argument of the defeated and dis
credited politician. He walls that tn,
people do not understand, and com
plains of their stupidity.
