have been so urgent in pressing him to
visit their constituents.
The president is already getting togeth-
er facts and figures to use in his speeches,
and they will be the efforts of his life.
He intends to force the fighting and to
stand or fall upon the reciprocity plat
form. As an avowed candidate for re-
nomination he is taking a great many
chances, but no one can help adnliring his
candor and courage and the strength of
his convictions, although some think that
his plan proves him to be a very poor poll
tician. We will wait and see.
There are other people in the Republican
party who are quite as positive in their
convictions and quite as determined in
their purpose to defeat. the Cuban bill and
prevent the adoption of the reciprocity
principle in our tariff legislation as he Is
to secure it and they have an organization
of force and influence composed of many
of the wealthiest and most influential
Republicans in the country. 1t is largely
due to their efforts that the existing
rates Of duty were embodied in the Ding
ley law, and they do not propose to have
them disturbed, no matter what method is
proposed or what reason is advanced. The
fact that nearly all of them are personally
and peculiarly interested in maintaining
the present duties only makes them the
more active and determined.

many persons began to eat more vegeta-
bles than they had ever eaten before. A
large proportion of them found the change
so agreeable and beneficial that they will
never return to their former habit of
heavy meat eating. Necessity, or econo-
my, impelled them to adopt a policy which
wisdom dictated and experienced has en-
dorsed. The meat combine may prove
blessing in disguise to the public and de-
feat its own object.
It will surely do so IL 1t serves to in
crease the consumption of vegetables by
our people and a consequent falling of in
the per capita consumption of meat
Those who live mainly on vegetable food
in the summer and partake of nothing
heavier than eggs and fish naturally and
necessarily are heartier than those who
eat much beef or pork, and their living
expenses are much less.
If anybody doubts this a trial of the
two plans. even for a day or two. will
soon convince him OF the truth Of the
proposition.
The people of this country eat on the
average more meat than those in any
other temperate climate.
All the authorities agree that we eat
too much meat and trace the prevalence
Of many diseases to this over-indulgence.
Undoubtedly vegetable eating is increas-
ing in the United States. This is one Of
the best reforms now in progress and we
expect to see it grow very much.
Mr.. Louis B. Jennings, who has recently
returned from Bolivia, tells a New York
newspaper that the women Of that coun-
try are ''the healthiest and sturdiest in
the world" They subsist almost entirely
upon vegetables. It is said that the pack
carriers of southern Mexico have almost
unequalled powers of endurance. They
will carry load of from 100 to $50 pounds,
over the worst roads, for distance Of
20 to 25 miles a day.
These people never eat meat. Their
chief food is boiled maize, ground and
mixed with sugar. They have other vege-
table diets but religiously avoid all kinds
of meat at all seasons of the year.
We may learn a very valuable lesson
from these semi-savages.

1 believe the chautauqua assemblies
are more largely attended this year
than almost any former year, so far
as my observation has gone.
Except in the extreme low lands OF
the bottom, the farmers all seem to be
jumping up and down. Cattle at cents
on foot, hogs more than s cents, corn
and oats higher than they have been IN
20 years. The farmers Of the west and
northwest are surely in it now.
There has been no extremely warm
weather in the northwest to date. Ma
nv DAYS I have had on my Overcoat,
sometimes sitting by the fire TO Keep

I spent one day in Molene, III. The
largest pillow works in the world are
located there. Their manufactures COW
er acres and acres of ground. They
furnish the plows for the middle ana
northwestern states largely.
/ have made it a business to inquire
in different sections how farm lands
are selling, and they range from so
to 500 an acre. In any of the produc-
tive belts of the west and. northwest
farms that are at all improved sell fer
from S65 TO 500 an acre. There never
was a day in the history of America
when farmers were more independent
and manifested more Independence
than they do today.
1t has been a source Of regret to no
tice the weather reports from the
southern states. Unless rain shall come
soon to the parched earth in the south,
we shall certainly come up wanting
this fall. Never in my experience have
1 known April, May, June and July to
be so dry in the south. A dry May IS
usually our best crop year, but this
year 1T has been dry April, May, June
and July, with the heat intense.

TWAS so constantly on the go
and move last week, travelling and
lecturing that I did not have time
to write my weekly letter to
the Journal, but I hope my work will
be such for the balance of the summer
that can furnish my letters regular

ed through Indiana, Illinois. Iowa, Nc

TO me that I have seen enough corn

find the wheat crop in Kansas not so
good. Missouri, Illinois and Indiana
have fine wheat. The floods have done
much damage throughout the corn
belt, on the low lands. I think l have
seen tens of thousands of acres of fine
corn literally covered by the high
waters and ruined. They boast OF the
biggest potato crop ever made in the
northwest. The drought OF the south
is discouraging to the people down
there. but it's well enough TO know
that there will be bread for the eater
and seed for the sower.

When this arbitrary and utterly I'M

easier than at any other time to reduce

meat are rarely as healthy as they who

TARIFF ISSUE

William f. Curtis Sees Pos
6ibiiitie6 Of Split In ReDubG-
Can ORGANIZATION.
Chicago Record-HeraId.

- T is difficult to see how a split in the
Republican party is to be avoided I'M
less somebody yields. This morning
saw two of the Boxers" who defeated
the Cuban reciprocity bill in the senate,
and both declared with unnecessary en-
phasis that President Roosevelts conf
dence in the adoption of that measure at
next session of congress was very much
misplaced. One of them went so far as to
declare that the bill would not receive
as much support at the next session as II
had at the last, and asserted that the only
thick-and-thin supporters the president
had on the Republican side in that nght
were Platt of Connecticut, Lodge and Bev-
eridge. He says that II a vote had been
taken by q secret ballot in the Republ-
can caucus the presidents policy would
have received the support of perhaps nve
men, possibly six, and no more, and that
If It had been proposed by any other man
than Roosevelt 1t would nave received
no support at all.
Those are the sentiments of an extreme
sugar beet senator, and must be accepted
with caution, but some Of the supporters
of the president think he is over sanguine
in his expectation that the senate will
adopt his recommendations next winter.
He intends to make great fight Tor
them, and one OF the objects OF his speech
making tour through the country this fall
is to preach reciprocity, although several

ing a cause he thinks is right, there isn't

tatives in congress. If some of the sena-
tors and representatives had known what
