HARVEST AND FINANCES.

A philosophical inquiry into the
causes which produce national strength,
independence, aggresslveness and
greatness will show how strangely de-
pendent we are on a prolific soil and its
products. Mr.. A. d. Noyes contributes
ticle on finance and crops that is
worthy Of study. He notices that in the
progress OF contemporary finance the
midsummer months of each successive
year are period Of singular interest. 1t
is then that there come into public view
the forces over which neither human
foresight nor human ingenuity can ex-
ercise the least control, and yet which
are fundamental In their influence OF
national prosperity. OF all the wealth
produced each year, In the modern as
in the ancient world the gerater part is
that which grows out of the ground;
and this is precisely the portion of the
| worlds annual production which is
| wholly subject to the caprice Of nature.
| 1t needs but moments consideration
to see how vitality the financial fortunes
Of people depend upon this question of
the crops, declares Mr.. Noyes, who here

and general harvest failure, in highly
developed Industrial state, means, first,
the loss of q years income to the farm
community. Next, and as a natural
consequence, 1t means The. reduction in
the purchase of manufactured goods.
But this must also, in the third place,
involve sudden disappearance of de-
mand for transportation, both from and
to the farm communities. If there is no
wheat to send to market, One-fOurth of
the business of the grain carrying rail-
way disappears; If there is no demand
for city merchandise on the farms,
freight traffic in the opposite direction
will be decimated.
But the railway which fails to earn
it's dividend will not in such case be
the only sufferer. Loss of expected in
come by the farmer, and by the nu-
merous trades which thrive with his
prosperity, means diminished savings,
decreased resources in the banks, and
hence q reduction of capital available
for use in financial enterprise. 1t is a

HUMBUG IN CALIFORNIA.
[Dr. and Mrs. w. Z. II. Morse in Algona

HUMBUG IN CALIFORNIA.
[Dr. and Mrs. w. Z. H. Morse in Algona
Republican,
Some poor people who have been in
duced to invest all of their money in ten
acres of land, with the assurance that
they could make a good living in a few
years from the fruit they can raise on
the place, will eventually lose all they
have. 1t is too bad, but some people
will be humbugged. That California is
great place for humbugs is easily
shown from the names of it's towns.
There Is a Humbug in Plumas county
and one in Siskiyou county. There is
Humbug Canon, Humbug Creek, Hum
bug Flat, Humbug Hill and Humbug
Valley, and last but not least is Big
Humbug. Need man be surprised if
he is swindled in a country with such
names?
There are some fine places In the
Sacramento valley. The Stanford ranch
near Vina is a ranch where all kinds of
fruit grow. On this ranch are 5000
acres of grapes, from which they expect
to make over a million gallons of wine.
Think of It, w. G. n U. folks! All this
wine must be sold in order to support
the Stanford University. We visited
the Bidwell ranch near Chico, where we
saw the largest fig tree In California.
Irrigation turnout California is nee
essary in order to secure a crop; and
after the ground is wet 1t must be cul-
tivated to prevent its baking down as
hard as stone. We We're told that 1t is
impossible to raise hogs successfully in
that country because the pigs would
wallow In the mud, which would collect
around them, forming cast so hard
the pigs could not develop. Those Cali
fornians do tell such stories

borrowing operations In our eastern
markets, thru which the huge financial
schemes of the last thee years have
been carried out, were made possible
by the placing of western bank credits
at the disposal of Wall street. These
credits were chiefly the net result of
profitable crops.
Even this does not tell all the story.
Shortage in crops would be followed,
necessarily, by falling exports, and fall
ing exports foreshadow reduced COM
mand over foreign capital. With all the
extraordinary recent progress of the
United States in her expectation of
manufactured goods and of mine and
forest products, 1t still remains true
that our agricultural shipments make
up 63 per cent of our annual export
trade. In other words, harvest failure
Of the railways and banks, and also the
country's foreign credit. Alike in 1901
and 1902, immense sums of capital We're
borrowed in Europe, during the spring,
for use in the costly financial operations
of the period. With abundant crops and
consequent abundant exports, our own
banks can take up such foreign loans in
the autumn and carry the load them
selves. But if crops are short and the
foreign creditor calls for settlement, the
American banks must pay in gold, de-
plotting their own reserves at moment
when large reserves are needed. This
is what happened a year ago. Human
sagacity is absolutely unable to predict
the situation. 1t can only wait to see
what the farm weather Of a summer
season brings to pass, and adapt itself,
as it best may, to the resultant condi-
tons.
With such complete dependence on
the soil it is not strange that it should
also have a powerful effect upon poll
tics and commercial policies or that it
should produce occasionally what is
called Calamity" politics.

EXPLAINING THE PLATFORM,

| Governor Cummins states that while
in the east he spent a large part of his
time explaining the Iowa republican
| platform. He found many who, having
heard of 1t, had not read it, but who APP
proved it when its features were set
forth. He was nor confronted as he
has been this state by a few alarmists
who willfully misrepresent 1t, tho their
reached eastern people. This leads the
Times-Republican TO make the state
ment that the republican papers of
Iowa which Loyalty support the plat
form in harmony with the majority
have not been engaged in advocating
immediate and violent revision of the
tariff, as might be inferred from these
alarmists, but have been supporting
and upholding the Iowa declaration as
to revision. Like Governor Cummins
they have thus far been chiefly engaged
in explaining the platform as against
the wrongful Interpretation of pro-
fessed republican journals. TO be
wounded in the house of ones friends is
a serious experience. The Times
Republican says it more in sorrow than
in anger that few Of these protested
republican journals have done more in
jury to the cause than Mr.. Henderson
could possibly do. 1t notices, however,
that as time passes nearly all are fall
ing into line, accepting our state plat
form as safe and sound republican doc
trine that does not in the least do vio-
lence to the protective principle, but
advances the success of the party with
the people. The time for mere explana-
ton is past; the time for urging repub-
lican unity of action is the imperative
reed of the hour.
The Spirit Lake Beacon calls atten-
ton to a statement by the Des Moines
Capital that ut would seem to be diff
cult to keep the republican campaign
going under present circumstances for
paper and "a few others things" sug-
gested by 1t. The Beacon declares that:
Among the few other things might
be included the recalcitrancy of the Des
Moines Capital. In the first place there
would have been no division over the
Iowa platform but for the strained in
depreciation put up by the Capital in
advance of the state convention. Then
IL the only republican evening daily at
the capital had not assumed to be
greater than its party after the great
Des Moines convention party ranks
would have closed, Speaker Henderson
would today be leading the fight in the
Third district, the great rally would
have been held at Waterloo tomorrow
and harmony would have so far pre-
vailed as to insure complete protection
to party interests. The republican party
in Iowa is not seriously demoralized. 1t
will go on 'conquering and to conquer,
but II there has been any rocking of
the party boat the Capital should look
we'll to its own record before filing in
dictments against Speaker Henderson
and republican papers working under
campaign orders from party councils"

SOLUTION COAL FOR STRIKE.

After searching the whole realm OF
law and reason for means to settle the
anthracite coal strike, all the ablest
men have been nonplussed; and the
public official who went over the ground
most carefully and investigated 1t most
thoroughly concludes that we must re-
sort to other than human codes for the
true solution, that we must fall back
to bring the contending forces together.
This is practically the conclusion of Mr..
Carroll d. Wright, commissioner Of la
Dor. who. under the direction Of the
president. made searching inquiry in
to conditions existing there. He reach
ed the conclusion that enforced arbitra-
ton would not be satisfactory, and as
this method has been the extremity to
which the legal mind has been driven,
lit appeared to be the only means in
sight to bring the warning elements up
on peaceful grounds.
The golden rule directs that There
+
fore, all things whatsoever we would
that men should do to you, do We even
so to them" 1t is one OF the greatest
guides of life given by the Divine Mas
ter. 1t is the rule that governs religious
conduct; and even in civil life men who
professedly and outwardly reject the
teachings of Christ unconsciousH adopt
it in Judging the world. The man who
is unjust to his neighbors or inhumane
In any degree to his fellows violates this
rule and is quickly censured, even by
the wording who shuns the church. He
can not help it, because 1t is based upon
the highest form of equity. 1t is the
greatest ideal Of civilization. the crown
ing feature of citizenship, the noblest
TART Of manhood, and when it is UNI
versally observed in business as in the

"After ALL" says the Fairfield Ledger,
"the Henderson incident may not be so
bad thing for the republican party In
Iowa. It may serve to show republic
ans that they must present a solid front
to the enemy and 20 arouse them from
that apathy which sure thing is likely
to beget."
The Montezuma Republican is per-
suaded that t'however much we may
differ in politics and religion all agree
that this has been queer season"
In regard to Roosevelt's position the
Algona Republican declares that mo
man has ever occupied the presidential
chair who has been more pronounced or
more fearless in his attitude of hostility
to the evil Of monopolies.''
The Brooklyn Chronicle declares "the
democratic party is the party of the
trusts because by tradition, habit and
principle its ruling elements are bound
to fight desperately against the only
remedy government control] which
can possibly avail against them.'
In anticipation Of the selection the
Ames Times said: "Tne Times would
be more than pleased to see Ben Bird
sail nominated for congress in the
Third district today. The ex-judge is
all right"
