ing editorial, from which the follow
ing extracts are copied: "The most
important development of the next two
years in transportation in this country
will be the adjustment of steam as
motive power and the substitution of
electricity on the lines of the New
York Central in the city and within
distance of thirty miles from it's linn
it's. This great project, which public
sentiment has demanded since the
tunnel accident, will involve an outlay
of over $14,000,000 for installation and
for changes that must be made in the
company's yards and stations to ac-
commodate the new motive power. The
third rail will be used to carry the
power, steam will be abolished every
where, electricity being employed for
switching, for signaling, and for every
operation incident to the movement of
the trains, operating in New York
city within two years the greatest
electric traction system in the world"
William E. Curtis, the talented and
versatile staff correspondent Of the
Chicago Record Herald, under date of
August 18th, 1902, in an article from
New York in relation to this proposed
change, says, among other things:

ton. At whatever point one breaks in
to the circle of trade he may observe
the current of exchanges to move in
both directions. The manufacturer
buys from the farmer as well as the
farmer from the manufacturer. All
permanent and healthful exchanges
are at last analysis reducible to bar
ter. But while this is true, it is also
true that any series of activities must
have a beginning, and both analysis
and observation lead to the conclusion
that the initial step IN creating a
circle of successful trade must be
taken by those producers who, from
the nature of their occupation. deal
with the primal factors of consump-
ton. The manufacturer will produce
nothing unless he sees, or thinks he
sees, a market for his goods, for
neither he nor his laborers care toc con-
sumo the things they make. The mer-
chant and the transporter, also, await
the appearance of visible demand
before expanding their enterprises.

Of it's magnitude. For conducting this
novel enterprise congress annually ap-
propriates the sum of $270,000, and the
total distribution this year will amount
to about forty million packages, which,
it is estimated, will weigh more than
one thousand tons. Besides the distri-
button by congressman great quanti-
ties of seeds are sent out by the de-
partment of agriculture to farmers in
various parts of the country who agree
to report as to the degree Of success
which attends their use.
In this connection it may be noted
that much more satisfactory results
are likely to follow this years seed
distribution than attended any Of its
predecessors. This is due largely to
the fact that Secretary Wilson, who is
now at the head Of the agricultural de-
partment, is q practical farmer, and,
having given his personal attention to
the seed distribution-which he, in re-
atty, regards as a pet project-heH Is

facts, there are, without doubt, that
should be embraced in a complete ex-
PLANTATION, but success in agriculture is
the initial factor; it is the fundamen-
tai fact. We gain the correct point of
view from which to analyze industrial
interdepende;ce when we consider it
from the point Of view of consumption.
While it is true that the above anal
ysis holds for all people and all coun-
tries, there are certain reasons why it
bears a particular significance for the
United States. In the first place, not
withstanding the marvellous develop
ment of manufactures, this country is
still an agricultural country. Success
in agriculture touches the lives and
interests of large portion of the pop
ulation. 1t means rise in the scope
and standard of demand of a very
considerable number of people, and
results in the strengthening of a home
market of such proportions as to fur

markets, an adequate motive for the

rise from 200 to 1000 volts, according
to the number of cars In operation, the
current or flow of electrical fluid re-
naming the same (the conductors and
magnets being highly insulated) and
not accessible by water from the time
of leaving the central station until it
returns again to the dynamo.
Practically any number of cars can
be supplied by coupl1ng-in series dy-
namos in the car station, thereby OBJ
tanning any voltage or electro motive
force desired, within safety Of insula-
ton.
Practically speaking, the current is

pable of producing seventy-ive am
peres instead of ten, the number gen.
orally employed in generating power
for arc lights.
Even If it were possible for a short
circuit to occur in this system, still
there would be no danger, due to the
fact that the wires are safely en-
bedded in the iron construction. In
case a short circuit does occur, the
electrical current passes through the
iron base from the feed wire to the re-
turn wire, both of which are under

is no longer a scientific but an eco
nomic problem. The railway world is
preparing for radical changes in
means and methods to take place dur
ing the early years OF this century,
and several other inventions of equal
value are now being talked about as
having great possible influence upon
the transportation problem"
The published opinions quoted recall
to mind recent experience of mine in

prone to mistakes. The country is
filled with monuments OF 1lnwise loca-
ton. The ruins Of many an eXpen-
sive plant which, If properly placed,
would have proved a source of con-
tinuing revenue to it's owners, the COM
munity and the railroad can be easily
pointed out, each one testifying to the
lack of careful preinvestigation on the
part of it's projectors. This is now
rapidly becoming less and less impos-
sible. 1t has often been said that rail-
roads not only possessed, but often ex-
erted the power to make or break men
at will. Whatever may have been true
in this regard in the past, this is no
longer possible in the new order OF
railroad operation. They now seek to
prevent losses by protecting commu-
mites and individuals against them
selves.
Like all new movements the railroad

development of local possibilities
that is to say, the encouragement Of
localities to make the most of them
selves is now perceived to constitute
the better plan. Not the taking out
of the raw products, but their conver-
sion to finished state, where they are
produced is now recognized as the
natural order. 1t is now understood
that the welfare of the communities
served by the railroad measures the
prosperity Of the road itself. Hence
the traffic mans problem: What in
dustry Is best adapted for each place?
And to the answer to this question
he bends his energies.
AS already minated 1t often hap
pens that the views of community
and those of the railroad do not CO.

horizon In their immediate local sur
roundings while the railroad man nee
essarily takes broader outlook. He

mendous growth in the number of re-
quests for the governments seed pack
cts. Last year the congressman came
nowhere near meeting the demand, but
it is hoped that with the big increase
in Uncle Sans seed supply no person
will have to be turned away. Likewise
there has been found a remedy for the
hardness of former years, when innu-
merable complaints have been received
that the free seeds arrived too late for
use. Not only is the work of distribu-
ton to be started earlier this autumn,
but the seeds will be packed by In
genious machines, each of which will
fill and seal seventy envelopes a min
ute, a capacity equal to that of seven
or eight of the girls who formerly per-
formed this work. Finally, it has been
decided that work shall be carried on
day and night, In order that the task
may be still further expedited.

at last able to guarantee that the
seeds sent out will grow. In former
years the contract for the govern
ment's gifts was let to seedmen with
out regard to the character or quality
of the goods, and the result was that
many contractors put UP in haphaz-
ard manner packages containing any
sort of seed without the slightest re-
gard as to whether they would be
adapted to the localities to which they
were to be sent. Happily this condi-
ton of affairs will exist no more, for
beginning this year the government
will cease dealing with contractors and
will make purchases through it's Off
Gals direct from the various seed mar
kets Of the country. All purchases
will be made under the supervision of
the government plant and seed bureau
and all seeds will be subjected to
thorough test before they are accepted
or paid for.

Each bundle of the seeds that rank
as novelties will be accompanied by a

development of manufacture and
trade. From the point of view of con-
sumption the significance of an in
dustry is measured, not by the amount
of capital invested, hut by the number
of consumers which it supports.
The intelligence of the agricultural
classes in this country, also, is a fact
of equal Importance, for widespread
intelligence is essential to the elastici-
ty of commercial demand. The Ameri-
can farmer does not hoard his cash.
He does not, like the peasant of
southern Germany, know the system
of blue stocking" banking. Prosperity
for him means rise in the standard
of living, or an improvement in the
equipment of production, either Of
which constitutes an effective demand
for the labor of the nom agricultural
classes. And, finally it should be OBJ
served in this connection that the
American farmer is, as rule, his own
landlord. This makes an immense diff
ference in the extent to which agri-
cultural prosperity is diffused through

In this way all danger is obviated, as
regards loss Of life and limb, to both
man and beast. Adjoining property is
also rendered safe from fire or damage
to contiguous water or gas pipes. These
pipes in large cities are frequently
subject to electrolysis, or decomposi-
ton, by escaping electric currents or
from defective wires. Another yalu-
able point lies in the fact that ex-
pensive and frequent repairs are
greatly lessened by the use Of the

tricts who have little or no use for
vegetable seeds effect exchanges with
congressman from the farming dis
tricts who have practically no call for
flower seeds, and thus it comes about
that many a legislator from the rural
districts is enabled to give out any
where from twenty-five thousand to
fifty thousand packages of garden
seeds, whereas the city congressman
who is an energetic barterer may man
age to accumulate stock of several
thousand packages Of flower seeds aud

larger number of his constituents.

significance of agriculture lay in the
fact that it provided raw material and
food for those engaged in manufac-
ture and trade. This must, of course,
ever remain an important service Of
agriculture, but it fails to suggest the
chief significance Of the prosperity Of
the farmers at the present time. OF
greater relative Importance is the fact
that a series of successful years in
the industry Of farming increases the
purchasing power of a vast body ofin-
telligent men and women whose homes
are scattered throughout the length
and breadth Of the land. 1t is through
this increase Of the ability to buy
goods that the prosperity of it's rural
districts makes itself felt, for this pre-

farmers demand.

plant and reap whether there Is a
strong demand for his produce or not.
The condition Of the market may int
fuence the kind of seed sown, but it
will not, at least for a couple of years,
influence the extent Of the sowing.
This is why, after period Of CONNER
cial depression, the manufacturers and
the merchants are more anxious even
than the farmers themselves for good
harvests and good prices.
In what way, then, does a bountiful
harvest under propitious conditions of
the market diffuse itself throughout
the community? To answer in a SEN
tence, this diffusion takes place
through the agency of the motive
which prosperous condition of agri-
culture presents to the manufacturer
and the merchant. The prosperity Of
agriculture is the center of that spon-
taneous activity which, when extended
to the entire field of human wants, re-
suits in what is known as prosperous
times4 Thus, series of bountiful har-
vests is the starting point of recovery
