IowA's CONVERSATIONAL TOPIC

Cedar Falls Record.-Everybody is
talking about corn prospects these
times. In coming up on the Great
Western Monday we met minister
and after asking about our welfare he
remarked that it was pretty good
corn day. IN few moments Joe Bee
son of Oskaloosa, member OF the
governors staff, coming to Cedar Falls
to participate in the review of the
Fifty-third regiment in camp here, en-
tered the car, shook hands with the
writer and suggested that it was pref
ty good corn weather--except that it
was little too cool of nights. The con-
ductor came along officially to collect
tickets and to examine passes and as
he used his punch he observed that we
would have some corn yet If nothing
happened to it from now on. Col.
Hedges of Des Moines, greeted his
friends as he passed through the car
and remarked that he had seen some
splendid fields of corn between Wilson
Junction and Des Moines. Joe Wray
of Waterloo was on the train and as
he looked out of the car window he told
his seatmate that there would be lots
of corn yet. AS the colored brakeman
passed along lady asked him if he
would please raise the window. and as
he did so, he reminded her that the
train was passing mighty fine piece
OF corn. We presume the same CONVEX
sation Is in vogue on every train in
Iowa. AS in Kentucky everybody talks
horse, 80 in Iowa, everybody is inter-
ested in corn

WANT THE CANAL.

From the reports received from Bo
gotta it now appears that the canal
treaty has it's friends at the Colombian
capital who purpose to do all in their
power to secure the ratification Of that
measure. One OF the most active of
these is said to be President Mario.
quin, who before presenting it to the
senate took the occasion to point out
several reasons for it's adoption. He
said: Even at the cost of some sacri-
fees we ought not to place obstacles in
the way of so grand an enterprise, both
because it will be a gigantic and ma
terial improvement to our country and
because, once the canal is opened by
the North Americans, we shall
strengthen and widen our relations
with them, which will result in an i'm
measurable gain to our industry, com
merce and wealth.
1t is also stated by the reports that
the majority of the house of represen-
tatives are also in favor of the canal
project and are DESTROYS of the CON
summation of the negotiations between
the two countries It is also stated
that the people in the province of Pan
ANA are indignant at the refusal of the
Colombian senate to ratify the treaty
Friends of the measure are said to be
working and hope to bring up the ques.
ton for reconsideration blythe authori
ties of that country, with the hope OF
it's ultimate passage.

A MINING DEPARTMENT.

Whether President Roosevelt recon-
mends a department of mining as a
part of the national government with
it's head in the cabinet, it is significant
that the question is now receiving con-
siderable attention For number of
years past national meetings of those
interested in the mining industry in
the United States have been held.
These meetings have universally been
largely attended and the questions con-
sidered at these times have attracted
considerable attention from the people
of the United States,
According to governmental reports
the output of the American mining in
dustry is considerable over $1,000,000,-
900 yearly and gives promise of con:
tinued rapid increase. Without ques-
ton 1t will continue to maintain it's
place as one of the foremost of Amer
lean industries. While the dignity of
that great activity would not be en-
HANGED by the creation of govern
mental department, 1t would undoubt-
eddy gain something in its extent and
Importance in the country's Industrial
economy, il a capable man should be
placed in charge of such department
This is a question worthy of the care
full consideration of. American citizens.

COUSINS AND THE PRESIDENCY.

Keokuk Gate City.-Robert G.. Cous-
ms, representative in congress from
the fifth district of this state, is sug-
gested for the presidency by a cores
pondent of the Waterloo Courier. In
speaking of his claims and chances the
writer says:
Because of his brilliance as an ora
tor, his thorough knowledge of the
hopes and aims of the party, and his
close sympathy with the policy of the
old time republicans, as it is exem--
plified in the present administration
and the tenets of the stand-patters,
Mr.. Cousins stands very excellent
chance of being chosen to succeed our
present chief executive, Theodore
Roosevelt, when he shall retire from
the White House in 1905 His friends
of both parties and all those who live
in the district he represents and who
naturally feel pride in what he, has al
ready attained, will join together and
without opposition will work to bring
about that end"
1t would be worth good deal to
Iowa and the nation to have R. G.
Cousins in the White House. He has
the right ideas of government and his
ability is unquestioned

WAGES, PRICES, PRODUCTS.

The Washington correspondent OF the
st. Paul Pioneer Press has recently
given out a statement on the products,
wages and prices in the United States
that should be of vast interest to ev-
cry citizen. This statement is based
on thorough study of the official sta
tistics of the treasury department, CEN
sus Office, labor bureau and the agri-
cultural department This investiga-
ton was made for the purpose of show
ing what bearing the prodigious in
dustrial development OF the last TWEEN
ty years has had upon wages and
prices and upon imports and exports,
One of the notable facts brought out
is that prices, now considered abnor-
mally high are considerably below
those of 1850 and although there has
been decided increase since 1890 the
prices of 1903 are still on an average of
twenty points below those of 1890.
These average prices are the whole
sale rates for the entire group of ar
ticles regarded as necessities. They in
clude breadstuffs, clothing, meats, dali
ry and garden products and other
foods.
1t is also shown that the average
wages of the workingmen which was
higher in 1900 than in 1880 is still high
er in 1902.Tables are presented show
ing the effect of the concentration of in
dustries in increasing the products. AS
might be expected this has affected
wages differently in the various indus
tries. Generally it has resulted in a
big advance, especially in the highly
protected industries. But few declines
in wages are shown
Another important fact is that these
statistics do not show such a large
decrease in the number of plants OPP
Grated by combined capital as is gener-
ally supposed. In the manufacture of
agricultural implements, the greatest
concentration is shown. The 1913
plants in 1880 only numbered It's in
1900, while the output was increased
from $6S,640,4 to 01.2O7,47S. In iron
and steel there were 66S factories in
1900 as against 1,005 in 1880. The pro-
duct in the centennial year amounted
to $500 ,96S,273 as compared with $780,
557 ,6S5 the value Of the product TWEEN
ty years previous.
A much smaller concentration is
shown In the other Industries while in
some an increase in the number of
plants is seen. However, there is a
universal increase in the output of the
factories in these last years.
Three things are shown to have re-
suited from the adoption of the present
industrial methods. The cost of me-

"A CURRENCY

Washington dispatch to the New
York Tribune-Senator Allison whose
recognized ability to harmonic con-
fiicting opinions and to produce com
promise propositions which opposing in.
terests may heartily espouse, has gone
to his home in Iowa where he will dill
igently endeavor to devise from among
the various projects laid before the
President at Oyster Bay last week a
currency reform measure which will
have some chance Of enactment at the
special session Of congress, after the
Cuban treaty enabling legislation has
been passed. From all accounts his
task is likely to prove exceedingly diff
ficult, especially as he must seek a
solution of the problem which will not
provoke persistent antagonism on the
part of the democrats in congress, who
are desperately endeavoring to manu-
facture plausible issues for the next
campaign, and who may, therefore, be
relied upon to utilize every dilatory
prerogative open to them under the
rules of the senate to prevent the
President and the republican leaders
from getting credit for any measure
that would contribute to the national
welfare.
Senator Allison will enjoy consider
able latitude in his work of formulat-
ing the currency scheme, being bound
only by the strict injunction of the
President that it shall be "automatical-
ly elastic" Senator Allison is well
aware that Senator Aldrich is as firm
as ever in his advocacy of the princi-
pie of his bill of last year which au-
thorized the acceptance of state, coun-
ty, municipal and other bonds as Sc
curity for government deposits, and
that this device is bitterly opposed by
western men, particularly by Mr.. Can
non. He also knows that Mr.. Aldrich
is unyielding against anything tending
in the direction of asset currency. 1t
would seem, therefore, that the line on
which the great Iowa harmonizer
would proceed with the greatest pros
pect of success is, based on the slig-
gestion thrown out for the purpose of
discussion only in the Tribune of July
Id, involving authority to national
banks to issue emergency circulation
subject to tax of per cent to an
amount; not exceeding 25 per cent of
the secured circulation of any, bank.
Other, proposals which are not inconsis-
tent with this feature and which have
met with some favor include the de-
post by the secretary of the treasury
OF customs receipts and internal reven-
lie balances in the banks, as well as

FINANCIAL CONFIDENCE is RE.
TURNING

The recent unprecedented decline in
stocks in this year of great prosperity
has occupied the close attention and
consideration of financiers. 1t is now
quite generally believed that the big
decline was the result of artificial
means and manipulation of the mar
ket. A compilation of statistics shows
that there has been shrinkage of 81
650,000,000 this year in $6,034 5000
capitalization. 1t is also shown that in
1893, year of general financial disas-
ter, with the capitalization of $4,668,-.
100000 there was shrinkage in values
of only 100000. In regard to this
point Henry Clews, in his financial re-
port for the past week says:
Every one must appreciate that
such an enormous shrinkage in so linn
tied period is out of all proportion to
any changes in conditions affecting
values. Conceding that there was a
high degree of imitation in 1902, that
the money market had drifted into a
critical condition because of excessive
obligations, and that the stock market
was carrying threatening mass of in.
digestible securities, there We're no
changes in the crop, industrial, mercan-
tile or financial situations that began
to warrant any such decline as this.
All sound opinions agreed that, while
the top of the boom might have been
reached, no important decline in the
volume Of business was in sight; and,
outside Of Wall street, the signs OF re,

JULY IMMIGRATION

Notwithstanding the consideration
that has been given by national legis-
latures to the question of immigration
and the laws that have been passed
Tor its restriction, it still remains one
OF the perplexing question that now
confronts American citizens. The re-
port of Commissioner General of I'M
migration Sargent for the month of
July shows that during that period un-
desirable immigrants poured into this
country at an alarming rate. There
was, during that period, an increase
OF 1886 over the corresponding
month last year with total of 81 ,53S
landed in July, 1908. 1t is now esti-
mated that il this increase is main
tanned for tho remainder of the fiscal
year the t9t9l viii reach million and
q quarter. breaking all previous rec
ords.
The al2rming feature of the immi-
grafton. however, is that large por-
tion Of these !. ew 3:ners are of an UNI
desirable class The recent amend
ments 10 the Immigration laws of the
United States have tended TO better
this condition, but that there is room
for still further Improvement, is all too
patent
1t is interesting to note that over
forty thousand OF the immigrants for
the past month were made up of Hun.
