cHlNAMAN ON THE RACES.

Ambition of the Whites to Predoui-
nate Over the Others.
The Mercury, an evening newspaper
published at Shanghai, China. for $50
per year, payable quarterly in advance,
and dated '3d moon, 9th day, 2Sth
year of Ii. 1. NJ. Kuang Hsu," or We'd
nesday, April IS. 1902, contains an in
tereSting article on the effects of the
Anglo-Japanese treaty on eastern Asia,
translated from a native Chinese pa
per, says the Seattle Post-intelligencer.
Tie article says:
Civilization has advanced so much
that we know that all nations are de-
rived from one common ancestor. The
varieties of race have been produced
by climate and location and religion.
But the white race is ambitious for
paramount place over the red, brown
and yellow races. The latter races
have no such desire to rule over the
white. In fact, as the white rises the
other colors sink under them"
The writer sorrowfully admits that
s'the red, brown and yellow races are
slow in advancing and cannot keep up
to the white" and he asserts that
there are some foreigners who are
not willing to make allowances for
this and have devised a theory out of
the seven days of creation to the eff
feet that the other races. exclusive of
the white. were merely transmogrified
monkeys"
He insists that Gin the United States
they have another sort of doctrine to
the effect that man and birds are diff
ferent. The colored people are the
birds and man should use them as
slaves and interiors" And he declares
1.-The Americans are to-day deyising
fresh exclusion bills against Chinese
workmen and even against Japanese.
In view of all this, what becomes Of
the much-talked-of international law?
oh, it does not apply to these matters,
forsooth. But do not be surprised.
That precious international law fol-
lows the power which is mightiest, and
is modified accordingly to suit circum-
stances"
After much more of this discussion,
GlluSllS 10 us anu GdIHtSt ~ MN, he
declares, "if China does not quickly
reform and is swallowed up by the
other nations, it will come true that
the white race will actually rule the
yellow race. If this disgrace is to be
averted it entirely depends o. China
herself
The author then directs the attention
of his fellow Chinese TO Japan. She"
he says, has rapidly advanced In civ
ilization, so that she is able to stand
up for her own rights against the
white races. She boldly says that she
also belongs to the white race. She
SAYS that there are red and yellow
white races, to which class she be-
longs. and therefore, the Western ma
tions need not boast of their white
race. The Japanese will not consent
TO be under their feet. Hence the white
race praises her with a certain under
tone of jealousy"
Such outpourings prove that the lives
lost during the Boxer outbreak wera
not sacrificed In vain; that China is
waking up.

the socialistic and populistic vote, he
advocated confiscaton Of the coal
mines. The coal strike in the anthra-
cite regions was settled hv President
Roosevelt in accordance with law and
the principles of fairness, but Mr.. HilFs
declaration of a socialistic principle to
be applied to a like crisis is an issue
between the parties.
In fact, the Republican party, by the
action of Mr.. Hill and others, stands
more directly facing the issues Of Pop
ulism than in 1900 The Republican
party Is opposed in the congressional
and State campaigns on its Philippine
policy, on the tariff, on its Cuban pol
icy, and most particularly are the Dem
ocratlc leaders opposed 10 the Presi-
dents course in attempting to control
the trusts.
There are many issues between the
parties, and "the time-hOnored, time
tested principles Of the Republican
party" that have given such prestige
and prosperity to the nation, are being
opposed violently and persistently. In
no campaign since the copperhead cam
paign of 1864 have Republican policies
been assalled with such maleyolence
as in this congressional campaign of
1902.-Ch!cago Inter Ocean.

In Place of a siIo.

Not every farmer has silo or
corn shredding machine. They cost
too much for the man who has but two
or three cows. But he can pick the
ears from his corn stover and have
the grain ground, and the cob, too. If
he so wishes, then have the slower
well cured in the field and when he
takes 1t to the barn have it cut into
pieces not more than a half inch long
and shorter if possible. Then moisten
1t with warm water If such is cOnven-
lent to the cow stables and cover it
up to steam for twenty-four hours at
least before feeding Put on each
cows ration as much and such grain
as her condition calls for and if she
does not do as well as she would on
ensilage she will do better than on dry
corn slower If obliged to wet it with
cold water. it will be better for stand
ing forty-eight hours. to terminate a

sistance. But the infant industries

A Handy Fodder Stack.

How best to stack corn fodder to
keep and be handiest in getting at
when feeding is often a question given
much thought by the farmer. This
method possesses many advanta yes
that will recommend it above others:
Set two posts twelve or sixteen feet
apart where you wish the stack to be.
Across from one to the other. four and
a half or five feet from the ground,
spike a by 4. Stand the fodder
against this with the butts on the
ground and the smaller ends coming
together at the top. There sho'Ild be
n space of two or three feet at the bot
tom. This viii give the rat, dog and
cat an opportunity to keep the stack
clear of mice. This stack will turn
the rain and snow, of winter will keep
dry and bright and when used will
not be opened to the weather as no
stalks are left exposed by removing

Illinois Apple rchnrds.

Emerson Babcock gives Green 5
Fruit Grower information in regard to
orcharding in Illinois as follows: An
apple orchard syndicate in Clay and
Richland Counties has sold the apples
of its orchards, which aggregate three
hundred and twenty acres, for 81, 500.
This fruit is from young orchards just
coming into bearing. There are one
hundred and twenty acres planted with
$500 Jonathan apple trees. Jonathan
IS highly priced for its hardness, pro-
ductiveness and the fine quality of Its
fruit. The best apple orchards OF Illi-
nois are on the southern border, en-
bracing seventy-five thousand acres of
apple orchards, mostly planted during
the past ten or twelve years. This is
the first general crop from these orch
ards. One thousand acres of apple
orchards may be seen near Flora, ILL.,,
and the trees there are heavily laden
with fine fruit this season. Ben Da-
Wis is the variety most largely grown.
The problem now is to get enough la
borers to harvest the fruit from such a
vast acreage of apple orchards. and to
secure apple barrels for such big orch
ards. Three hundred and thirty car
loads of empty apple barrels have re-
Gently been shipped into this locality,
and nine large evaporators have been
built near Flora, with a capacity for
each of one hundred and fifty bush
els of fruit per day. A cold storage
house, with a capacity of $1,000 bar
rels of apples, has been built at Flora

tissues Between the Parties.


The issues between the parties are
as sharply defined as they were in
1900 The Democratic party is com
mitted to the same policies, aud the
leaders are urging them with more We.
hemenee and cunning than in 1900.
However, Mr.. Cleveland, Mr.. Hill and
other conservative Democrats may diff.
fer from Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Johnson,
they all agree in demanding a reversal
of our present tariff policy and the
adoption of a tariff for revenue only.
This is particularly an issue in the
congressional campaign, and in the
campaign text book issued by authority
of the Democratic congressional com
mittee 126 pages are given to assaults
on the tariff and TO arguments in favor
of what the committee, dropping all
disguise. calls free trade.

ness, stands out in every sentence and

The workingmen of this country un-
derstand, if Mr.. Bryan doesn't, that
they have had large share of the pro
lection given by national legislation to
infant industries. No intelligent person
VIII dispute that American industries
have been greatly stimulated and
strengthened by the protection Con-
gress has afforded them. Whether this
protection has not been given at the ex-
pense of consumers is a question which
is no honest doubt in any rational quar-
ter that the results have been beneficial
to the industries protected and to the
labor they employ.
To undertake to separate the prosper
ity Of American Industries from the
prosperity of American labor is non
sensical. The superior condition of
American workingmen is due very
largely to the better wages they have
received under the protective system
and made possible by that system.
There was time when our working
men could be deceived by claptrap Of
the kind quoted above, but that time
has passed. They have learned by in
dubitable experience that they have en-
ploy ment and good wages when pro
tectiye law is in force, and that they
have ~ Their when low tariff law is
substituted. Mr.. Bryan Is wasting ink
when he writes that labor is not bene-
fitted by protection to home industry

The decision reached by the President
and the leading Republican Senators
with whom he has conferred, not to at-
tempt tariff revision at the next session
of Congress is the only one cxpedient
at this time.
The industrial situation i'm this cOuu-
nv is not an abstract mathematical
problem TO be solved upon general prin-
ciples. In the great field of American
prosperity the wheat and the tares are
so intermlngled that to adopt any
sweeping method for removing the
tares is to run great risk of destroy
ing the wheat as well.
The question is: Which do the people
desire he more-that the overweening
abuses Of the trusts be curbed or tina,
the Incidental hardships of the tariff
be removed?
To that question sober and practical
men have but one answer Protection
benefits millions who neither gain nor
lose by the trusts. Therefore let the
tariff alone and attend to the trusts.
The first step toward curbing trust
evils is plainly indicated by the facts
ara practically agreed upon by all con
cerned. 1t is that thes treat corpora
lions shall give a Wholesome publicity
to their doiugs. That ster ran injure
no legitimate enterprise, ana will be op-
posed by 10 man whose intentions are
really honest.
When that step Is taken-when the
results Of publicity are seen-ther 9th
or steps may be necessary. One Of
these steps may have 10 be a revision
of the tariff. But to insist upon taking
that possible step now Is both unneces-
sary ana reckless.
For we cannot. without endangeTing
prosperity. enrb the trusts and revise
the tariff AZ the same time. Our indus
trial situation Is too complex thus to be
dealt with on ali sides at once. 10 take
up both these questions would call in
question the whole foundation upon
which our Industrial system Is buiE.

Concentrated Foods.

The real value of a farm is its ca
pacity TO produce. 1t is really a store
house of raw materials which are man
ufaetured into salable products, and
may contain mine OF wealth requiring
but the labor to bring il to the surface.
Every pound of plant food returned to
the soil is an investment for the future.
In addition to the gain from the feed
ing stuffs purchased there are crops
rich In nitrogen which draw upon the
atmosphere through the agency of
minute organisms. for supplies of nitro,
gen, even the roots, after the crops are
harvested, enriching the soil. The nitro
gen-gathtGing plants are limited in
number, but all plants have the power
of deriving carbonic acid from the at
mosphere, and from this comes the fat
and starch. The corn plant contains
large quantities of fat and starch, but
Is deficient in mineral matter, while
bran, linseed meal, cottonseed meal and
middllngs abound largely in the min
eral elements. 1t will. therefore, pay
the farmer to feed his corn and fodder
in connection with the concentrated
foods mentioned, as he is sure to gain
largely ia the manure Estimating nitro
gen at 10 cents per pound, and 1870
pounds in ton of 1000 pounds. the
value of the nitrogen is SO 80, and as
the food also contains about $3.50
worth of potash and phosph oric acid,
! its real value as fertilizer is $23. In
| addition, 1t also contains about 100
! 0unds Of fat and 500 pounds of starch
per ton. This the farmer saves by using
it as food, although a portion Of the
nitrogen and mineral matter is appro-
priated by the animals and sold at a
higher price in the forms of milk and
meat.-Philadelphi Record.
