THE COMMONER,
Mr.. Bryan's Paper.


The Commoner has attained within
six months from date ofthe first issue a
circulation of 100, 600 copies, a record
probably never equaled in history of
American periodical literature. The un-
paralleled growth of this paper demon
strates that there is room in the news
paper field for a national paper devoted
to the discussion of political, economic
and social problems. To the columns
of The Commoner, Mr.. Bryan contrib
utes his best efforts; and his review of
political events as they arise from time
to time can not fail to interest tho, g
who study public questions.
The Commoner's regular transcription
price is Sl.00 per year. We have ar
ranged with Mr.. Bryan whereby we
can furnish his paper and the weekly
Democrat together for one year for
$3.50. The regular subscription price OF
the two papers when subscribed for
separately is $500.

Docility of Tolstoy.

Tolstoy is truly great man, as
men go, and it does not lessen the
esteem in which he is universally re.
garded to learn from Nine Benton
that he is no longer adverse to the
counsels OF his wife, but eats and
drinks exactly what she gives him,
with the docility of a child" This
completely disposes of the theory
that Tolstoy is the arbiter of his own
fortunes, and establishes the fact
that when it comes down to a matter
of household discipline he is as
powerless and inoffensive as the rest
of us. 1t is a beautiful thing not
merely to eat and drink whatever
may be provided In the ladys good
judgment but to be docile as wen.
Docility is an excellent trait in hus-
bands and other lower animals.-Ros-
well Field in Chicago Evening Post

CHANCE FOR CUBANS
COTTON RAISING CAN BE MAZE
TO PAY ON THE ISLAND.
Not Necessary That Sugar and Tobac.

crops-Fgures Show That Good
Profits Could Be Mace.

The subject of cotton raising in
Cuba has become OF widespread inter
est, and it has been generally recog.
uized as of the greatest Importance to
the island in view of the present low
price which Is commanded by the two
principal products of the island
namely. sugar and tobacco, The eX-
tremely small returns from these two
products, which the Cubans had come
to believe were the only things that
could be grown on their fertile land,
have caused them to seek other ways
at gaining a livelihood, and one way
has been found in cotton raising.
Now that this product has come i'm
dera careful study the people who are
Investigating its possibilities are as
tonished at the promise which is held
forth. The Sea Island variety can be
grown better, and in almost double the
quantity to the acre, than in any other
place Of which there is any record. 1t
seems incredible. but, to begin with
it can be safely stated that on a farm
OF a caballeria tthirty-three and one.
third acres), the sum of $3091.65 clear
profit can be made over and above all
expenses.
These figures are not theoretical but
have been proved by experiment, Sea
Island cotton's minimum production
in Cuba is 1900 pounds of seed cot.
ton to the acre, and the maximum is
1000 pounds. and the latter is not at
all lnfrequent A caballeria, then, cal
culating at the minimum production,
will produce $4,000 pounds of seed cot
ton. This seed cotton will give one
fourth of its weight in lint cotton. or
1880 pounds. At the latest report
from Liverpool this cotton brought 81
cents pound, which would mean So
375.
Out of the $3375 for which the cot
ton can be sold in Liverpool the cost
OF production of the cotton must be de-
Quoted. The price of land and all will
be included in this estimate. One ca
baleria will cost the small sum of
1888. In the South one pillow hand
and one hoe hand are employed to cul-
tiyate forty acres. In Cuba one pillow
hand and two hoe hands will be need
ed. These people for six months will
cost the farmer, including wages and
rations, 5000 The seed to plant the
caballeria will cost $23.S5 To pick
the cotton will cost $50, and, estimat-
ing that the seed will pay for the GIN
