WESTERN FARMERS NOT
FAVORED LIKE NEW ENGLAND.

THE farmers of the West who are salt
il c down their beef and sometimes only one
or few hogs. for winter use. are tayed
by the present tariff laws III the interest
of the great salt trust before they can oS-
tain a grain OF salt with which to preserve
their meat. But. by the provisions Of -hc
existing tariff law md those we have had
for many years. the fishermen of New
England have thei- salt free with which
to cure the fish that are taken In the deep
sea fisheries.
THE farmers Of the great West. exposed
to the Icy breath of winter as 1T sweeps
across the great plateau east OF the Rocky
Mountains. must pay a tax OF % per cent
under the Dingley act for every FOOT OF
lumber they buy from the great lumber
trust. in order TO build a cabin to protect
their wives and children from the SHOWS OF
winter and the heat OF summer. But the
people of New England. thanks TO the pro-
visions in the Observation-Disclosures treaty Of
1872 and Incorporated in the Dingley act
and preceding tariffs, have their lumber
free. 1t is brought down the st. John
River. carried into New England. and used
by the New England fishermen in building
their vessels and their homes.
1T seems to me that is enough for the
people of that enterprising and intellectual
region. without now making US pay an ad-
ditional subsidy to the fishermen engaged In

SENATOR VEST ATTACKS
SHlP-SUBSlDY BILL.
Continued From Page One.

% per cent Of the entire appropriation for
| the Atlantic.
1.-The Senator from Maine informs us that
the effect of the amendment changing the
classification from four. under the act OF
1881, TO seven. and changing the nature OF
the subsidy for mileage TO SO much per ton
upon the outward and inward voyages Will
| have the effect of increasing largely the
subsidy TO the larger and faster vessels and
decreasing II to those which are purely
freight vessels carrying abroad the agri-
cultural products OF the United States.
BILL FRAMED TO BENEFIT
TRUSTS, NOT THE FARMERS.
This. In my Judgment was one of the
fatal defects in the Hanna Frye bill. as It
vas termed. in the Fif;y-sixth Congress
The subsidy under that bill wass given
largely to the fast liners OF the American
Line. which do not carry the products OF
the farmers OF the United States. but are
filled with the haif-inanufactured articles
which do not come directly from the farm
ers. but come from the trusts of the United
States that are preying upon the consumers
OF this country.
The bin row before us openly and avow-
edIy Is intended to accomplish the same re
suits. For instance. the Senator from
Maine says that the St. Louis. with over
ll.cJ9 tons burden, has Its subsidy increa sed
from fourteen thousand and some hundred
dollars trip under the present law. to
nineteen thousand ard come hundred dollars
under the present bull.
In the Fifty-siXth Congress. in answer
to the objection which the opponents OF
that bill made. rs l have stated X. and in
answer to the same objection now. which
IS even more manifest in the pending meas
ure. we have been told that the cargoes OF
the fast liners are much more valuable
than the cargoes OF the freight vessels.
that the ST. Louis, for instance, carries out
on one trip cargo three or four times the
value of that carried upon freight vessels
OF $500 or 9.ca0 tons burden.
This Is n fallacy and It does not answer
the objection that I have stated. Suppose
4 vessel goes out from New York to South
ampton loaded with diamonds. the cargo
amounting in value to millions upon mil
lions of dollars. wculd that expectation
benefit the farmers and the consumers OF
the United States? 1t is not the value of
the cargo, il is the nature of the cargo
that applies now in the present contro-
versy.

4 Colossal Figure.

The largest igure in the world to-
day wears neither crown nor corore5.
His is the most colossal figure in the
eyes of the civilized world, and. be
Yields more power than any prince or
potentate upon earth. Kings, en-
perors and rulers of high or low degree
render obeisance TO him and hang upon
his word and do not dare TO go con-.
ssrary to his wishes. He has 40 titles
and he wears no decorations, but is a
plain American citizen and MS name
Is Pierpont Morgan. It has never
happened before to a plain citizen that
kings and emperors feel honored to
invite him to their tables, but it has
happened to Mr. Morgan. We speak
of nations that are world powers, but
5Iis man is world power himself.
He is the financial king though he has
had no coronation day. The PRESIDENT
of the United States does not oppose
him and he can dictate terms to con-
gress, and the czar OF Russia or che
kaiser exercise no more power than
he does. His every movement agltates
tie stock markets of New York, Lon
don or Berlin. There is scarcely a
vast enterprise in this country today
IN which he is NOT a leading figure and
MS name is almost a household word
throughout the continent. He is a
wonder and his career has been phe-
nomenal. Nothing like it his ever been
seen IN our history. He is both a symp-
tom and type. He is symptom of
the tendency of the age in financial
and commercial circles to concentrate
its power and unity It's business in
few hands and to make that power
felt IN legislation. He is a type Of the
sturdy, self-reliant American characer
that has been developed here under
our free institutions that stand out
uniaue and alone and does not find it's
counterpart anywhere in the world.

BRADsTREET'S WEEKLY REPORT.
Volume of the Months Operations
Probably in Excess of Any
Period in Previous
Years.

New York, Aug. 29.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say: August closes
with jobbing activity apparently at its
height in the northern half of the
country and the total volume of the
months operations probably in excess
of any similar period in previous years.
Actively instrumental in bringing
about this result are the continued
good crop prospects. At the south,
the diminution of the cotton crop con-
dition has developed as the result Of
hot, dry weather in the southern half
of the belt. Added to this is much
reported damage from insects in Texas.
Prices reflect the diverse reports from
the different sections, wheat being
lower on good weather and large re-
ceipts much of them below grade) and
lower cables, while cotton has sharply
avdanced, and the margin between old
and new crop deliveries has narrowed
as the season OF 1901-02 draws to a
close. Other farm product tends to
drift downward. Corn is lower On
good weather, but a good business has
developed. Before cattle receipts are
heavy, and stockers, and feeders are
lower at wholesale, while retail prices
are expected to follow. Prime cattle
are, however, reported bringing full
prices. Produce receipts are very
large, but prices are on the whole
quite strong.
Railway earnings thus far August
are dattering, being 6 per cent. larger
than a year ago.
At the east dry goods iobbing is ac-
tive at New York and cotton goods are
in rather better tone.
Business failures for the week num-
Der 40, and as against $50 last year.
