A party of tw~enty-four German
farmers and landowners, whose pros
pective visit was announced, last fall,
has arrived in this country and passed
through Washington this week. These
men are members OF a German agri-
cultural society which each year
visits some foreign country with a
view to keeping up-to-date in their
methods and availing themselves and
ayailing themselves OF every improve
menG made in their chosen profess
sion in all parts of the world. They

culture and the great work it is doing
for American agriculture, saying that
many Of it's bulletins are translated
and published in the German agricul-
tural press.

The little local items which appear

any newspaper that would omit them

there is a bright. and interesting way

Official Paper Of the City and County

THE WEST SHOULD GET BUSY.
Apropos of all this talk about presi
Dental nominations for 1904, it's about
time for the people OF the west to
realize their supremacy politically as
well as in business.
The average western man is prone to
wrap himself so closely in business as
to have little time for politics and he
makes SO much money that he doesn't
mind being skinned out of a third Of
it by the political Vaccinations OF the
fellows across the Alleghanies.
AS compared with the east, the men
of the west are as a ace Of giants to a
collection OF pigmies. In this smile
we refer to the respective sections col
lectively.
To assume or assert that there is not
great ability in the east would be as
foolish as it is false. But to say that
the people of the east, collectively, are
narrow and provincincial, while those
of the west are broad and cosmopoli-
tan and national, is to state the exact
truth.
When the respective conditions Of
the two sections of the country are
considered, the fact is not surprising.
The men of the west outgrew the
narrow eastern sphere in which they
moved and came west for fame and
fortune which the petty and crowded
east did not afford the opportunity to
secure.
However the ties Of kindred bind
the east and the west together, the
easter man is practically unaware Of
the existence Of the west. He thinks
his little pent-up Utica the summun
bonum of the earth. Living in his
contracted sphere, the son taking up
the business OF his father and tread
ing in the paternal footsteps until the
cemetery claims its own, only to be
succeeded by a similar narrow genera
ton, there is no opportunity for men,
tai expansion.
The western man who has come
from the east grows up with the coun-
try-and almost insensiblY secured a
development which he hardly appreci-
ciates himself. He goes from his west
ern home to the east and realizes that
there is an east, while the eastern
man scarcely knows that the west
exists.
1t is the west that the country must
look for Development and increase in
wealth and power. The west should
no longer be tied to the apron strings
of the east, but, knowing its suprem-
acy, assert and maintain it.
The rule in national conventions is
for the west to resolve itself into q
ratification meeting for eastern ideas
and idols. 1t is time that the same
spirit of manly independence which
brought settlers to the west should as
sert itself.
The west holds and should sway the
scepter.

Tho war of Trade.

IA an address before the Wolver
hampton chamber of commerce the
Earl of Rcsebery delivered some sig
nifc,nt utterances touching the great
commercial warfare Icing waged
against England" He wns not alarm
ed, he said. by the constant piling up
Of Immense and costly ornaments by
Europe. They rather tended toward
peace than otherwise. The war he
feared was not military. 1t was that
great war Of trade which was inevi-
tably coming. and which. SO far as he
could see. would be one of the greatest
and most serious with which Great
Britain ever had to cope. He said:
The chief rivals to be feared are America and
Germany. The Americans. with their vast and al
most incalculable resources, their acuteness and
enterprise and their huge population, which will
probably be 100. 0O0. 900 in 20 years. together with
the plan they have adopted for putting accumu.
lated wealth into great cooperative syndicates OF
trusts for the purpose of carrying on this great
cor warfare. are perhaps the most formi
dable.
This Is a rather painful admission to
come from a leading statesman of a ia
ton which for more than one century
held commercial supremacy over the
world.
Not alone In England Is American
commercial aggression feared. Cont
mental Europe has for some time been
exercised owe II. A few years ago Count
Goluchowski. Austrian foreign minis.
ter, called attention TO the commercial
superiority of the United States and de
clared that a European customs union
was the only means OF defending the
old world against the new competition.
Later Coupt Won Bulow. now imperial
GermPn chancellor. proposed a series of
European protectionist tariffs as u pre-
vention of American trade supremacy.
The lateit advocate Of a European eco
nomic federation to meet American
competition is NJ. Paul Leroy-Beaulieu
the eminent French publicist. With ap-
parently amlcable feelings toward the
United States. he is inspired by equal
ly regretful feelings at witnessing the
gradual disappearance of European
trade and to check our supremacy.
which he considers the leading charac-
terlstic of the new century. declares
that federation In Europe Is not only
advisable. but Is the only thing to save
the old world.
The war of trade. 1t seems is on in
earnest and will be fought relentlessly.
While the u%tterances referred to above
are highly complimentary to American
enterprise. skill and energy. they en-
body a warning to eternal vigilance
which we would do well to heed II we
are TO gain and maintain the CONNER
cial supremacy which the foreign ma
tons so much fear.
