CONCERNING IRRIGATION.

The Commercial West: The strong
est, reason favorable to the support
ct irrigation by the government is
the fact that the arid lands will be
needed, together with their product,
for the comfortable support Of the
people.
The. population of the country has
doubled every 80 years. If this rate
of increase holds, the population will
be 1875, 900 or more by 1890. With
this population to care for, it Is plain
that the area of grain production and
cattle pasturage will be none too
large with a part Of the arid district
made productive.
If the arid lands can be occupied
under conditions of prosperity by peo-
pie who would be unfavorably situated
in cities or towns, the general good
is subserved; hence the government
can safely take the step suggested by
President Roosevelt in his message
and by the National Irrigation assoc
citation in the amended bill before
congress. The amended bill should
pass. W.

THE SUGAR WE ABSORB.

Springfield Republican: According
to calculations made by the treasury
bureau of statistics the consumption
of sugar in the United States has
grown from 1,272,426,342 pounds in
1870 to 5,313,9 87, $40 pounds in 1891.
The per capita consumption is now
sixty-eight pounds, as compared with
,thirty-three pounds in 1870. The con-
sequences of this remarkable change
upon the physical condition Of the
people, one way or the other, must be
material. Whether it is for improve
ment or impairment of physical
strength and endurance is a question.
About one-sixth of the amount con
sumed is produced in the United
States and another sixth in u in
sular possessions, while about a
fourth comes from Cuba. Two-thirds
of the sugar produced in the Unite1
States LIT year was from cane, and
the rest came from the new beet
sugar industry.

QUESTIONS IN COURT.

Chicago Chronicle: Some of the
most important questions relating to
the rights of states and to the systems
OF commerce between the states will
be decided in a short time by the fed
eral supreme court. The right Of the
people in one state Dr. territory to
draw off for purposes of irrigation the
water of a river running through other
states or territories or forming a
boundary line will be the subject Of
one decision. The apparently trifling
question of prohibiting express COM
panies from carrying packages of lot
terry tickets from one state to an
other will be decided next week. This
will be a most important decision.
It will involve the right Of congress
to suppress an evil by an interstate
commerce act.

scoor FOR TALL TIMBER.

New York Evening Post: There is
an %inelegant and injurious old saying
to the effect that a fool is born every
minute. This is probably a rash an
~nouncement, not based, there is rea-
son to believe, on adequate fnvestiga-
ton or on statistical data. But, what
ever the fact may be- about fools, it is
reasonably safe to declare that a new
political party is born almost every
day. There is a new one at Washing
ton, D. c., though what they want OF
a political party at Washington, where
nobody votes, is more or less difficult
to see. The new one at Washington
has to de- with justice, with a very
large j; justice for the needy and
worthy e%x-slaves, justice for southern
taxpayers, Justice for every man of
every color, creed and cline, justice
for the Jew and for the Gentle, for
the Protestant and the Catholic, for
the rich and for the poor, as we'll as
for every man, woman, child or thing
which can be described in words. All
these, and much more, are demanded
in the platform. The party is the pet
idea of IA worthy person named
Vaughn, who was at one time mayor
of Council Bluffs, Ia, but who now
lives in Washington. A circular, is
sued in the course of the new party's
propaganda, says that the platform is
simple, but strong enough to bear
any weight" An unsympathetic oh.
| server might call attention to the
fact that political parties, without
exception, demand justice for every
thing in sight, and that some state
ment as to the exact brand of justice
aimed at by the new party might
prove more convincing. But this sug-
g~estion, it is assumed, coming from
such a source, would not disturb Mr.
Vaughn in the least.

A SILVER SLUMP.

--E EFS,L& ~ ' v HHNN...A
Minneapolis journal: Bar silver
was quoted yesterday in New York
51A, cents an ounce, which: shows a
little advance over the descent record
ed last Monday of what the silver
men said a few years ago characterize
ed poor mans money" when the
metal fell to 5Oh. This was the low
est recorded price for silver bullion
The slump is credited largely to the
payment OF the indemnity install
ments by the Chinese government
which buys exchange, selling its sill
yer Accommodations from taxation Of
the people and settling the indemnity
payment in gold, a process which has
left the banks loaded down with sill
yer, which they are selling for what
they can get for it. The crop failures
in India and the plague there, have
depressed business and minimized
the demand for silver and this is a
probable factor. of the Low price.
There is no probability of any large
advance In the price of silver, for
the director of the mint shows that
our country continues to lead all
others in the production of the metal,
the output last year being SO, 100000
ounces, AN amount not surpassed
since 1892, when the output was 3d.
500, 900 ounces.
In this connection it is in order to
inquire why some of our statesmen in
the senate, who ought to know better,
should push a bill through that body
providing for free silver coinage in
the Philippines to produce a coin
labeled one dollar, which contains sill
yer bullion worth about 43 cents. This
proposition to foist a dishonest dollar
on the Filipinos, whose happiness the
| senators advocating this easur pro-
fess to- desire, is certainly, disgraceful
and should be vetoed speedily by the
passage of the house bill which stands
for the honest dollar, giving the Fill
ipinos as good money as VIZ have in
the states. The slump in silver this
week shows what kind of abominable
money standard the silver dollar"
which it is proposed to mint in the
Philippines, is. Shall we have the
gold standard in the United States
and set up the silver standard as an
American progressive idea in the Phil
ippines? From the business stand
point the proposition is execrable.
From the standpoint of national honor
it would be a disgrace.

WoRkINGMAN SUFFERS.

Baltimore Herald: There are nu-
merous asserted trusts controlling a
majority of trade in various commod-
tiles, but none has ventured to so
openly thrust upward the cost OF an
actual necessity of everyday life as
is the case with the trust directed by
"a small number Of western beef pack
ers. The beef trust has now removed
almost entirely from the reach Of the
workingman that. portion Of his daily
food which is most necessary to a
performance of his daily labor.
The boosted excellence of the Amer
lean workingman depends upon the
fact that, heretofore meat has appear
ed twice or thrice upon his table,
while in Europe it is a luxury that is
enjoyed on Sundays and holidays If
times are prosperous. But it is the
fresh meat that he has always OBJ
tanned which has put the extra steam
into the blow of the American laborer
and artisan, SO that his higher paid
labor is cheaper in the end than the
work performed by the European or
the Oriental.
The meat trust has evidently decid-
ed that the poorer American must do
without his meat or else impoverish
himself by paying prices fixed by a
few men at the headquarters of the
beef trust; for there exists abundant
evidence that the increased price Is
the result of other than natural laws.
Despite the reports circulated by the
secret agents of this monopoly. in
dividual evidence shows that the mum.
Der of cattle dressed an on the hoof
is sufficient to supply the people OF
this country at a price within the
reach of all classes.

VALUE OF ADVERTISING.

Great Falls Tribune: A striking
demonstration of the value of news
paper advertising was recently made
by the publishing house of Harper
& Bogthers. This firm, as is we'll
known, has within itself extensive
faculties for reaching the reading pub
lie, but lately the manager determin-
ed to try whether daily newspaper
advertising would not help out the
sales.
In order to test the correctness of
his ideas, he selected two books of
what is known in trade nomenclature
as popular fiction" Each of these
had enjoyed a fair favor upon their
initial appearance, and had sold about
equally we'll. One was by a we'll
known and popular author and the
other by a writer who had yet to
| win his spurs. The comparatively I'M
known writer's book was selected for
newspaper advertising, while the pro-
duction of the one with the establish
ed reputation was pushed through the
regular channels of the firm. This
was after the two books had been on
sale for a year upon absolutely even
terms and with practically equal sales.
The result was a complete surprise,
both to the Harpers' manager and to
the newspaper advertising agents who
had joined in urging the test. During
the second years sales, the book that
had been given the advantage of news
paper advertising outstripped the
other by over 100000 copies, this pro-
portion o fsales continuing practically
unchanged Throughout the year, al
though the advertisement had been
given but one insertion, and that in
only the leading newspapers of the
larger cities of the country.
A fairer or a more conclusive test
could hardly have been devised, and
the results have been accepted by
large business firms everywhere as
demonstrating beyond question that
newspaper advertising, when intel
ligently employed, is par excellence
the most valuable-and. Judged by
comparative results, the cheapest
medium for reaching the great masses
of the people.

I. Baltimore Sun: At the present rate

United States who share in neither
monopoly profits nor stockijugglihg
will be compelled to combine against
the combinations.

fact that a gentleman not unwholly

the president.
