PROMOTING SILK CULTURE.
Progress of Experiments by the Asri-
cultural Department.
philadelphia Press,


Secretary Wilson is doing good work in
developing the raw silk industry in this
country. The United States in the last fiscal
year imported $40. 635. 351 worth Of raw silk
for manufacturing and at the same time i'm
ported $50, $40, 242 OF manufactured silks. II
that SIS, 600, 900 worth of imported silk could
have all been made IN the United States II
would have been an immense benefit.
OF these imports over $751; 0O, 900 came
from Japan and over S25. OO0, 600 from France.
The balance of trade In favor Of Japan was
s16,O OO, 900, while that in favor Of France was
S11, 900, 900. not including the exports 10
Switzerland. which are credited to France.
II the United States had not imported any
silk from France It would still have pur-
chased from that country as much as II
buys of this. owing to its gross tariff dis
ordinations against the United States.
Hence anything done in the way OF develop
ing the silk industry at home would not
hurt the foreign trade Of the nation.
1t is not the expectation TO grow all Of the
silk needed in the United States. But q
colony Of Italians in Georgia have set out
rs, 900 mulberry trees and another colony Is
on the way to this country bound for South
Carolina. where a general distributing sta
tion will be established. under the auspices
Of the Agricultural department, from which
thousands OF mulberry cuttings will be
sent out. Three steam reelers have been
ordered to be set up in different places mosi
accessible to silk producers. Bulletins hav'
been issued by the department and re-
quests for mulberry strips and eggs are re-
ceived at the rate OF forty to fifty q day.
Secretary Wilson says that they are meet.
ing with gratifying success, though this 4
only a small beginning. The purpose OF tn
department is chiefly to give employment
to the idle members of families, TO whiel
$50 or 800 a year from the culture OF sill
worms would prove a gratifying increasI
OF income. Labor that is idle is cheap an
there is plenty Of such labor in the soutl
among the eolored women and children
Secretary Wilson's project is a wise on
and ought 70 prove . success.

IN rNxnLYEn PROBLEM.

The adjournment Of the Fifty-seventh
congress without attempting a solution
Of the grazing land problem was disap-
pointing to the people Of the far west.
President Roosevelt recommended In
bis last annual message a commission
to examine and report by bill desirable
legislation, but this was not acted upon
and consequently the situation Is un-
changed and much further trouble is
apprehended.
The San Francisco Call says that the
range war which has Redeemed the his
tory Of the last ten years Is ready for
renewal the coming season with more
disastrous results to life and property
than ever. According to that paper east
ern Oregon is already armed to resist
an invasion Of the public range by a
half million sheep, most Of which will
be killed in the fight, yet the sheep
owners, declares the Call, under exist
ing law or lack Of law, have just as
much right to the forage on that range
as those who will shoot them and de-
stroy their property for going there.
1.-THE closing of the Teton reservation
in Wyoming has limited the grazing
area and intensified the struggle for its
possession in that state, and the re-
newal Of drift fences in Arizona threat
ems to put an end to the cattle business
there by suddenly ending the forage
on the plains upon which live stock
exist"
The San Francisco paper points out
that while the stress of these conditions
is extending the desert over our own
grazing lands the cattle industry is mi
grating to Canada and Mexico. The
herds are being driven from Idaho and
Montana, Washington and Oregon, into
the fine grazing country In British Col
umbia, where the Dominion government
Is leasing large tracts on most liberal
terms to stockmen, not even requiring
precedent. In the opinion of the Call
this means the final extirpation of our
vast meat trade and it's domesticatiop
under the liberal laws of Mexico and
Canada.
Manifestly this is a matter Of very
great Importance, which should com
mand the serious attention Of all who
are interested in the preservation and
promotion of our live stock industry.
Perhaps our San Francisco contempt
rary somewhat exaggerates the danger,
In ap%prehending the extirpation Of our
! meat trade and its domestication in Can
ada and Mexico, but existing conditions
certainly warrant the belief that IL a
remedy is not provided our live stock
industry will suffer very materially, to
the advantage OF our northern and
southern neighbors. whose more liberal
laws are already attracting this IN
dustry. There is diversity Of opinion
as to bow congress should deal with
the grazing land problem and undoubt-
eddy the wise course is to have n
commission, as recommended by the
president, make a thorough investiga-
! ton of the matter and report what leg
islatiou is necessary. An earnest effort
should be made to have this lone early
in tho session Of the next congress.

A TREMENpous snRNKAar.
Another Trust PreParinE 70 swallow
n Few of IT'S Kind.
Chicago Chrnninln


Chicago Chronicle.
NOW we have a new trust
a trust within a trust. The interior trus,
IS Incorporated under the laws OF New
Jersey In the name Of the National Steel
company. The constituent companies arc
the American Steel Hoop, the National
steer ana the Carnegie Steel companies, the
trust taking the name OF one Of the con-
s'ltuent companies, all Of which are al
READY In the huge 81, 400, 900, 900 combine.
One reason stated for the move IL that 4,
Is the plan OF the big combine to blend All
the constituent groups now operated sen
arately and become itself the one operat-
Ing concern as well as the one stock hold
ing concern. and this is likely enough.
Another reason is that the treat Irnitsd
states Steel corporation pays a tar in New
Jersey on its general capital, While each
OF the constituent companies pays a tax
on its individual capital, the result being
double taxation. :
This second reason does not bear ex-
animation very we'll. II each OF the con-
stituent concerns is taxed on its capital
separately and again taxed on its capital
as merged In the big corporation a new
combine would only make matters worse.
Each OF the constituent concerns would
be still liable TO taxation on it's individual
capital and a second time as merged in
the smaller combine and a third time AZ
merged in the big combine.
Probably an inkling Of the truth Is con-
yeyed in the statement that the combined
capital OF the three merged companies is
$2S3, 900, 900. while the capital Of the new
organization is only $50, 900, 900, or Is per
cent less. This is an enormous shrlnkage
and no doubt means something more thai
a move to avoid double taxation.
We must understand that the higher cap
italization is that at which the properties
were turned In to the giant combine and
not their valuation as independent prop
critics. Those properties seem to have
been turned into the big trust at not less
than four and a half times a fair valua-
ton. And so we get an idea of the guam
tity of water in the $1,4oO, 900, 900 OF the big
trusts securities.
We may pretty safely conclude also that
while the parties concerned may be glad
enough to escape double taxation, II in
fact they are the victims OF that iniquity,
they are even more DESTROYS of wringing
a lot OF water out of the trust securities.
provided they can do It in such a way and
upon such p~retexts as to divert attention
from their true motives.
There is more water distributed along
through the stock list which will have to
be wrung out before the public will come
to realize what sort of thing II is they
have been calling prosperity for some
years past. Undeniably there has been real
prosperity, as there always Is after q
panic and years of depression.
There must be a basis Of prosperity upon
which to rear iridescent palaces Of the
imagination, but the palaces have occupied
pretty much the entire field Of vision OF
late. and It will be necessary to clear them
away before we can get a distinct view
Of the real.
Perhaps the United States Steel corpora
ton is beginning to clear them away.

Buffalo News.
Nothing new has come out OF Nebraska
since the discovery Of the man of destiny
from Lincoln In that state. But the W
papers Of that commonwealth are begin
ming to rumble, 20 to speak, with a fresh
sensation. The Omaha Bee declares that
there is In the process Of formation in
Nebraska what lie called the Gopher Khan.
Apparently its purpose is to go for ofices.
II is described as something secret, but
not with the sweet juices OF some hidden
fruits, a kind Of a aociety oath-bound to
stand by each other In grabbing for Jobs.
The likeness to the hapit of the gopher is
probably in the tendency to burrow in the
ground and work in subterranean pas
Bages. Thus the Khan may macerate the
political soil. and being united for a COM
mon purpose, may throw its strength TO the
side which offers the best terms to the
leaders. There is nothing new In the no.

Bryan's state. It 10 wholly contrary to his

thoughts he has, whether In the party or

himself even in a clod Of words, though he
has been known to be considerable In dis
cussing some questions he once declared
to be vital.
But the Gopher Khan is distinctly a Ne
braska product OF a disreputable kind. II

4 pIsGRAoEFUL SPECTACLE.

When Mayor Moores called the coun-
ell in special session last week to con-
slider the proposed ordinance submitting
a proposition to the people at the coming
election to authorize the issue of half a
million dollars in bonds for municipal
electric lighting, either by the purchase
of the Thomson-H Houston plant or the
construction Of new works, President
of the Council Karr baked the mayor
by issuing a counter call and a majority
Of the council refused to respond to the
call Of the mayor.
The only rational inference to be
drawn from this action is that the re-
fractory councilmen are dominated by
the electric lighting company. No other
motive for their refusal to respond to
the mayors call is conceivable. Has it
not come to a. pretty pass when a fran
| chised corporation can deiantly boast
the ownership of a majority of the coun-
ell and can with impunity and in de-
ment block the efforts of the citizens Of
Omaha to do away with the electric
lighting monopoly?
How can any member of the council
face his constituents and justify his
refusal to attend special meetings
legally called for a legitimate purpose
and In the interest Of the community?
Must the citizens of Omaha seek pro-
lection from their corrupt servants In
the courts as they did when the Holly
water works Job and the ffty-year gas
franchise were railroaded through the
council? Why should the taxpayers and
consumers Of electric power and light in
Omaha be denied the privilege and the
right they enjoy under the charter to
acquire and operate their own electric
lighting and power plant?
How can the members OF the council
who refuse to honor the call OF the
mayor explain their subserviency to the
electric lighting company and their
fragrant disregard of the interests OF
the people who elected them? Why are
they not willing to trust the people and
let them decide whether or not they
desire to enter upon the experiment OF
municipal ownership?
These men certainly know that the
submission of an electric lighting propo
sition involves no other expense thar
the cost of publication of the ordinance
which need not exceed $50. They know
that beyond hat trivial expenditure the
city will incur no risk or loss by givinl
the voters an opportunity at the coming
city election to decide for themselves
whether they are in earnest about mu
nicipal ownership.
Is It not a lamentable commentar!

THE BARvEsTs lEp MoNTy

The n thing that overtops every
other in its relation to the future vel
fare of the country Is unquestionably
the crop condition of this year. If the
output of agricultural products In 1908
shall be large a continuance OF pros
perity will be absolutely assured. OF
this there is now the most favorable
promise. Reports from the wheat and
corn belts are of the most satisfactory
character. While of course nothing
more can be made at this time but an
estimate. yet the forecast of the experts
is to the effect that only the most alb
normally bad weather conditions can
prevent the largest crop of wheat by
many million bushels that was ever
harvested. particularly in the southwest.
In fact, all the early spring indications
point to a record-breaking crop this
year, although there can Of course be
no estimate yet Of much value as to
the proportions Of the corn crop. AS
Stunning that what is now indicated will
be realized. the United States will pro-
duce this year n of the greatest crops
Of breadstuffs, If not indeed the largest,
in it's history. In that event the con-
tinuance Of national prosperity for the
next two or three years at least will be
absolutely assured.
Great crops require for their market
ing an abundant supply of money.
Whether or not this supply will be
sufficient is a matter Of the first I'm
portance. There is some apprehension
in regard to this. 1t is feared that
increasing the demand upon our cur
rency resources, which cannot for the
ensuing year be materially augmented,
except from the uncertain accretions of
gold. wifi prevent our producers from
reaping the benefits OF large harvests
and thus hamper prosperity. There
may prove 10 be some substantial
ground for this fear and yet 1t is quite
possible to exaggerate it. Enormous
crops will of course require a large
amount of money for their transporta,
ton and marketing. but II is to be borne
in mind that great crops mean great
exports, great TRANSPORTATION. great &C,
tivity in every direction. II we car
count upon a vast surplus of wheat and
corn for which there viii be d European
demand. there probably will be no dim
Guilty in discOunting the export OF this
surplus grain and so utilizing those dis

concerned there seems TO be a genera

through United States Minister Thomas at

Of the province of Norrbotten, where the
failure of the crop was marked.
After assuring the minister OF the good
accomplished by the American contribution
the governor added:
For Norrbotten It has been a great COM
fort to feel the interest which has been
shown in this remote part OF the world by
the people Of America and its influential
newspapers, two Of which have sent to
Sweden special correspondents to %investi-
gate the situation.
"The esteem which the Swedish people
have always cherished and evinced for the
American people will, through the sym
pathy now shown. be still more confirmed
and united with grateful feelings.
