Topping the tobacco is now in order.
The crop so far is pretty sure to be a
first class one, and is looking as we'll as
the average of years, if not better.

The changes in the revised tobacco
regulations, which went into force July
l, have not been fully comprehended by
all leaf dealers, and numerous inquiries
have been received here with respect to
the obligation upon every dealer to re,
cord in Book SO the sales made to other
leaf dealers. In view of the fact that
collectors will hereafter make transcripts
only of such entries in Book SO as repre-
sent sales to manufacturers, the Com
missioner has issued instructions requir-
ing that the sales of each leaf dealer to
manufacturers in other internal revenue
districts should be transcribed on sepa.
rate sheets before being forwarded to
the Bureau. This practice will greatly
expedite the checking and settlement of
leaf dealers accounts, as it will only be
necessary for the Bureau to assort the
subdivided transcripts by revenue dis
tricts before forwarding them to the ap-
propriate collectors for final checking.

James M. Crafts, veteran tobacco
grower of New England, writes from
Orange, Mass, in regard to fertilizing as
follows: | have read with some surprise
the statement of very large packer of
Connecticut tobacco, as published in
your Note Book Sketches under date of
July 17th. It seems as though this
packer is unnecessarily worried over this
matter. Now, Mr.. Editor. my expert
ence in growing and handling cigar leaf
extends back to 1043. At that time but
four of our farmers ever thought of
planting much over two acres. The
soon increased SO that an occa-
sional grower was found with four or
five acres in cigar leaf was seen through
out the Connecticut valley. Of course,
at first only stable manure was used, but
we soon began to increase the acreage
and we used Peruvian guano with the |
stable manure. Now we use various |
kinds Of commercial fertilizers. And it |
is difficult for anyone to show that am

A VAIN HOPE

A great many good men are enter
tanning the vain delusion that II the
Clevelandites get control OF the next
democratic national convention tnat
the people will rush toward party
that advocates the government own
trship of railroads and telegraphs, the
government issue of all money ana
the initiative and referendum. That
would be true if we had a press. 1t
must be remembered that there are
still some people who do not read The
independent that there are millions
Of voters who don't know whether a
referendum is something sold in the
country stores at the CROSSROADS or is
sent out from Washington by mall,
who don't know who issues the money
or anything about any OF these ques-
tions. Not because the American peo-
lule do not read newspapers, but be-
cause the whole press is practically un-
der the control of plutocracy whether
it. be secular, religious or agricultural,
and publishes nothing on these sub
jects.
If anything is done toward getting
the people to take any such action 1T
must be along the lines laid down at
the Denver conference and by spread
ing the circulation of papers that ad-
vocate those views. If conferences are
held In every state during the coming
fall and winter, if some workers can
! be obtained in every state and some
sort of headquarters can be established
in them, we will have the beginning
from which general movement can
be made as soon as the national con-
yentions can be held. The banner can
be raised simultaneously in every
state. If we wait until after the con-
Yentions are held. who believes that
state and county committees can be Sc
cured in any considerable number in
the time that is left or any sort of a
national campaign organized? On with
the work.

to get into trouble. Mr.. Bryan's ar
ticle in The Commoner was based on
such dispatches and now The Public
prints the following:
"The only other political event
of note is the action of the pop
ulist convention of Nebraska. 1t
met at Grand Island on the 26th.
A motion that the convention ap-
prove the action of the Denver
conference (p 262) declaring
against fusion was voted down and
a substitute adopted. The substi-
tute referred the question Of fusion
to the populist national convention
of 1904. This action was followed
by the nomination by this conven-
ton and the democratic conven-
ton, in session at Omaha, of fu-
sion state ticket"
The democratic convention was not
eld at Omaha and the nomination of
the ticket did not follow the vote on
the Denver conference, but preceded
1t. Judge Sullivan and Jones and
Weber were nominated within a few
minutes after the convention assem-
bled, and the vote On the Denver con-
ference was not taken for hours after
wards.

PERrKCrLY TRUH

The Omaha Bee, after speaking of
the action of the state convention con-
lcerning the Denver conference, says:
i"If. therefore, the program mapped
lout at Denver is abandoned, as 1T now
seems 1t must be, an attempt to hold
"a populist national nominating con-
Iyention next year is certain to prove
abortive. 1t is doubtful if a call for
such a convention would receive a re-
sponse from a dozen states in the
union"
The 'if' in that sentence is the all
important word. Should the program

REPUBLICAN SOCIALISM
~&~,

The Independent has often called
attention to the similarity OF the ar
guments used by the MARKHAM social
lists and the Hannaite republicans. In
last Sundays State Journal this SIM
iiarity had very striking demon
stration. In talking about value, la
Dor and prices, the Journal said:
Most of the fixers forget the basic
principle that value is founded on Ia
Tor" and "The underlying principle
Of traffic is the primitive habit OF ex-
changing days work
For many years that degenerated old
concern denounced populists, and the
vilest name that it thought it could
hurl at them was to call them $50
cialists." Now it is preaching straight
out MARKHAM socialism itself. Value
is crystallized labor" ''The value of
thing consists in the labor necessary
TO reproduce it" etc.
From out of the depths of its de-
generacy, the old Journal, is weak
and piping voice of decripit age, Is
telling us that Rockefeller, Carnegie
and the rest of the multi-millionaires
have accumulated their fortunes by
| indulging in 'the primitive habit OF
exchanging days work" Let us all
believe it and then go and "vote 'er
straight" for Judge Barnes.

WILL SCIENCE TELL Use

Life in the plant and the animal is
accompanied by spontaneous and per-
petual denominations of matter. So
also is death with still more rapid
changes. The new discoveries seem
to prove that within the infnitesimally
small thing called by the chemists an
"atom," there perpetually goes on
something very similar to the recon-
binatiOns that are called life in the
animal and the plant. This opens up
field and lays the foundation for a
rev philosophy SO different from any
thing heretofore taught, that one can
but stand and wonder when he con-
templates it. Will science, following
the methods which have led to all
real learning, finally penetrate the field
of the spiritual and demonstrate to us
something satisfactory concerning the
thing we call 'life?' On the thresh-
old of that world, science has long
halted. for it has found no mode OF
entrance. Will it enter now? VIII
science give us base for ethics? Will
it give us the reason for the ought
and fought not?" Will it show us the
real constitution of soul and body, as
il has made known the elements that
constitute water and air? Will it prove
the indestructibility of both soul and
body as it has shown the indestructi-
bility of water, though the elements
may be separated by heat and in many
other ways?

Of its restfuI properties, the future holds
out little promise TO a man, no matter

To such a sufferer relief comes like the

sort tells his story Of his case.
