THE FOUNDATION OF PROSPERITY.
IL is the Fertility of Our Farms and
Industry of Our Agriculturists.


Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The prosperity Of the United States IL in
timately associated with the fertility Of its
farms and the industry OF its Agriculture
lists. The product Of American soil suppliest
not only the wants Of our own people, but
the surplus crop is practically a necessity
for millions in alien countries. Our enor-
nous yield Of cereals, vegetables and other
forms OF agricultural products that may be
utilized is attributable to the productiyenesa
Of the land, the geniality Of climate, the
perfection Of farm machinery and appliances
and. lastly and most Importantly, the en-
ergy and intelligence Of the American
farmer. The actual raising Of crops would
not be Of great avail. however, but for the.
wonderful facilities for transportation which
American enterprise has provided. The
rapid development OF railroads has made 1t
possible to market crops at q profit in dis
tant communities, and the good roads"
movement has further contributed to the
welfare Of the agriculturist.
In olden times the routine OF farm work
was not more mo%notonous thar the persist
ence in ~clinging to traditional methods. The
farmer Of today-and none more so than the
A~merican-has q great advantage over his
prototype. He make q study Of his busi-
ness. appreciates fully the Importance Of
the rotation OF crops, understands the util-
ity and relative value Of fertilizers, is al
ways receptive of new ideas and his AFFAIRS
flourish in proportion to his intelligence and
application. He Is not the dull and hopeless
deliver Of the soil, but an Independent man,
with ell the endowments Of reason and all
the possibilities of success that confront his
city brother.
The American. farmer IL one Of the high
est products Of American civilization. His
forbears blazed the way through the track
less wastes, and he maintains their sturdy
independence and exemplines the undaunted
spirit which characterized them in their
struggle against adversely. His prosperity
is but the harvest Of the seed they sowed.

70 Better or safer Security for
Capital 60 ne HAD.
st. Louis Republic

81. LOUIS hepublc
A Cincinnati paper calls attention 10 the
investments which are now being made In
western farm lands and claims that this is
the one unhealthy sign In speculation. Ac-
cording to this alarmist, the buying OF
western farm lands is the result Of the fear
which was aroused by the narrowly avcrted
panic In May Of last year.
Though there has been much buying and
selling OF land in the middle west during
the past year. It cannot be said that con-
ditions have not Justified the movement.
For the past FIVE or six years all OF the
central western states have had bumper
crops, with the exception OF the corn fall
ure last summer, an occurrence UMPIRE
cedented in the history Of the Mississippi
valley. :
This year the prospects are equally goodj
The spot with anything less than an aver
age yield is the exception. The whes.
harvest has been up to standard. Corn was
never better, except on bottom lands, where
there have been floods. In the area stricken
by the drouth last year the hay crop has
been q third heavier than usual.
In some neighborhoods, one seasons crop
has been nearly enough to pay for the
land. taking the price prevailing during
the early part Of the '90s. With corn and
"hedt eeiilns nlBni the farmers income mas
been large enough to, Justify investment in
improvements which ten years ego would
have been deemed unnecessary.
II farms are such excellent producers Of
wealth for the farmer, why not Tor the
investor who has money lying idle in the
banks2 Even those men who accepted
western mortgages in the sos have lost
nothing II they have been fortunate enough
to hold their foreclosed properties. They
were a good investment. 1t was the men
who doomed" townsites and additions that
made some western Investments unproht-
able.
There is no danger that farm lands will

bonds. They have proved veritable
bonanzas to those who have been fortunate
enough to own them. With the closer set
Element OF the country they are sure to
increase in value. There is no imitation at
the present time. Compared with some Of
the Industrial stocks, the farms of the
middle west are selling much below value.

SURPRISING PnrsloN CLAIMS.

The fact that the claims for pensions
Of volunteer soldiers of the Spanish wal
far outnumber those filed by regulars.
and also that those regiments which saw
little or no fighting far exceed in their
claims those which met actual service,
is said to have astonished Pension Com
missioner Ware. he suggests as an ex-
PLANTATION OF the great number OF appli-
cations that possibly when the volun-
teers returned from Cuba the men were
suffering from the effects of a tropical
climate and felt that their health was
permanently Impaired and claims were
hled on this supposition by men who
have since recovered their health COM
pletely.
1t appears that western and southern
volunteers have been much less active
than the northern and eastern ones In
their efforts TO get pensions. Kentuck-
ians have filed many claims. but Tex.
ans and other southerners further, on
have thought less about seeking federal
aid. So lar Ohio and Massachusetts iead

mon PRICE, OF nnrr.
Injunction Against Meat Packers Un-
able to Bring Prices Down.

chicago Tribune.
A few weeks ago there was q national
outburst OF wrath over the high price Of
beef and the Chicago packers who Il was
popularity believed were responsible for It.
They were ordered by the courts to abstain
from practices which It was alleged they
had been guilty Of, whose assumed effect
had been dearer meat.
Beef costs more now than II did when
the restraining order was Issued Mutton
is cheaper, but this Is not such a mutton
loving country as England is. Either be-
cause the mutton is not particularly good
or because Of long indulgence in beef there
are many consumers who prefer dear beef
to cheap mutton. But though beef is more
expensive than Il WAS when curses were
being hesped upon the packing house
"m%onopolists' nobody is much disturbed.
Nobody charges the packers with dis
obedience OF the orders Of the court. II
seems to be assumed that as they have
been directed not to NEEDLE with prices
they are not meddling with them. The
advance in the price Of beef. pork and
poultry is sscribed to natural causes by
all who talk about the subject and nobody
contradicts them. 1t may be that some
of the people who we're blaming the pack
ers for the advance in prices early In the
year are not sure now but what II was
due to natural causes. --.
Undoubtedly, the beef eaters Of the coun-
try are not reoonciled to prices which con-
tinue to go up. but for some reason they
are silent in July about q subject they
had so much to say about in May. Prob
ably It was impossible for them to keep at
q white heat Of indignation over one griev-
ance for 30 long a time. other things
have come up for them to soold about. But
while less is said about the advance in
the price Of meat the effect OF the advance
is apparent. II is the one great cause Of
the continuous demands for higher wage
scales. The workingman, so large a per-
centage Of whose earnings go to buy food
stuffs, discovers that the sum set apart
for that purpose does not buy so much
as 1t used to. Then follows the Almost
inevitable demand for better pay.

There il really something pitiful In the
spectacle which Is presented by Britannia,
who once ruled the wave, going into hys-
terics at the operations Of Mr.. Morgan,
who now rules them. The almost childish
glee Of the London newspapers at the pros
peot OF a line Of Angio-csnedian steamers

shows 20 what extremities British pride is

1t does not appear that there Is any such
shortage Of Holsters as has been reported,
although the prices to be paid for the
erustaeean are OF a character to make a
director in the beef trust feel envious. At
this season Of the year there is always
a scarcity OF Holsters, due to the fact that
many Of the shore fishermen who have lob
ster traps also have their haying to do and
give more attention TO agriculture than 20
fishing. At the present prices for Holsters
there is profit enough to warrant the FISH
