Perhaps President Roosevelt and his

is quite probable that the bad trusts,
which includes nearly all of them, have
found a way TO propitiate the trust

ton, as the protectionists found way
to emasculate the Iowa idea and rem.

been a strong card with the Repuhi-

their great desire to uproot political
evils. but these virtuous moments have
always preceded elections and have
ever subsidized and ebbed when the
crisis had passed and they could point

perpetually been hankering for the

FOREIGN CROPS.
Condition and Pros poets Reported
AhnYe Medium

Condition and Prospects Reported
Above Medium.
The foreign crop report of the Depart
rrent of Agriculture, just out, based on
advices received by the foreign statisti-
cal agent of the department at London
as late as July /, is in brief as follows:
In Russit meteorological conditions
have been in the highest degree favora-
bic for the developments of cereal crops
in most parts of European Russia and
harvest prospects are considerably inn
proved, even in regions where condi-
tions at the beginning of spring were I'M
favorable. In Germany a great improve
ment in all the winter cereals. particu-
larly in winter rye has been shown the
last month. The condition of every crop
in the middle of June is officially re-
ported above medium, though winter
wheat, potatoes and lucern were consid-
erably nearer to good than medium, and
all the others are graded about midway
between the two conditions. Only an APP
proxf lately good medium harvest of the
spring crops in Austria is to be counted
on st best Maize promises well there.
In Hungary, unless there is some i'm
provement before harvest, which is hard
~ expected, this years outturn of cereals
will fall considerably below that of 1902,
the deficiency in the case of wheat being
about 1914 per cent. Most of the Bull
garian crops are reported in very good
condition. Storms and foods have caus-
ed extensive damage to crops and vine
yards in Italy. In France the estimated
area of winter wheat is 6S1, 124 acres less
than in 1902. A marked Improvement in
wheat and other crops occurred there
during June and the crops now are doing
we'll. Generally favorable reports come
from Denmark. In Great Britain the
wheat crop is everywhere somewhat late
and hardly can come up to an average
yield. Adyices to the department from
the government of India estimate the
total wheat crop harvested there in the
spring of 1908 at 300. 261. 1o4 bushels,
against yield of 226,370S90 bushels in
the previous year.
She final estimates of the department
on the tobacco crop of 1902 in the United
States are announced as follows: Acre
age, 1,030,734; production, S21 1923, 1853

Masses Wearing Cheap Clothes.

4NeA9SSa VSGAA SACAp 0AotAt-s .
The Wool and Cotton Reporter,
which was one of the first great trade
journals to note the decreased purchas-
ing power of the people. especially in
the better grades of woolens, and to
suggest that the high prices which the
coal and other trusts have been charg-
ing have left the masses stranded and
unable to buy many things which,
heretofore, even IN hard times. they
have enjoyed, finds no Improvement
whatever in the general condition OF
industry. In its issue of July 8. in
comparing wool in London and Unit
ed states" ii says:
The Interpretation which most per-
sons will put upon the opening of the
London sales is that fine woods have
been pushed as high as the purchasing
power of final consumers viii allow.
- The same tendency Is disc0v-
cred in this country that is revealed
abroad by the London wool auctions
Medium and low woods are In the best
demand on this side of the Atlantic,
and display relatively the frmest ten
dency in the matter Of price. The
world over, coarse woods appear to be
doing the work of fine WOODS in larger
and larger measure. The extent TO
which this is the state ia the United
States IS clearly shown by the fact
that, whereas last year domestic quar-
ter-blood woods were sufficiently higher
than South American low woods TO adj
nit Of large importations, <, day the
latter are selling SO close 20 tho domes-
tic commodity as to preclude heavy inn
portations
1t then sounds a 90te Of warning to
those who are continuing to buy wool
at present prices, which are certainly
rot high when compared with other
prices, or considering the great scare
ity of wool the world over. 1t says:
The seaboard trade continue TO buy
at the present high quotations, on the
strength Of what they believe TO be
the statistical position of wool the
world over Whether they are making
sufficient allowance for such contin-
ge9cics as a monetary disturbance in
the fail, a decline IN the general pros
perity If the country, and diminu-
ton in the purchasing power Of the
masses. Is something which can only
be determined later"

pillage and piracy; back of ali econ
omic issues must be ordinary honesty
in public servants. TO pass laws TIC re-
form the tariff or control the trusts
win be worthless unless the rascals,
who seem to infest every department,
are turned out and honest public SER
wants installed to administer the re-
forms. The first and greatest reform
is to turn the rascals out" especially
those who are the highest in CONN., nd
and who, either by collision Or incom-
petent management have allowed the
footing without an effort to stay it.
Even now they are trying to hamper
the Investigations and, by refusing to
give the facts to the public, are trying
to divert the peoples minds into other
channels. The interest of those in
charge Of the fortunes of the Republi-
can party is to cover up delinquencies
for the good of the party and to scru-
tinize as little as possible the wrong
doings of their subordnaces. 1t is
therefore the leaders that must be
turned out and the punishment Of the
lesser culprits will duly follow.
1t is impossible for en- administra-
tion to reform itself. Every politician,
great and small, even the honest ones,
dislike to see disclosures made that
reflect on the party and only Just
enough is allowed to come to light TO
appear that publication Is intended.
The evidence has been furnished that
months before the postoffice scandals
were revealed, President Roosevelt was
informed that gross frauds were being
perpetrated, yet no investigation was
ordered until the newspapers took up
the get rich quick" frauds and these
led to the other exposures. For over
two years it was known and published
that members of the postoffice crowd
were bleeding the publica tons for per-
mission to mail at the one-cent a pound
rate, but neither President Roosevelt
nor his Postmaster General ordered
any investigation Of the charges,
though appealed to for that purpose.
A new deal is therefore necessary
and the rascals must be turned out
before reform is possible.

Editor, The Appeal:-I take the lib
erty of asking the use of the columns
of your valued newspaper to remind
our people of the fourth annual meet
ing of the National Negro Business
League to be held in Nashville, Tenn,
during the coming summer. The peo-
pie of Nashville have already begun
making thorough and elaborate prep
arations for the meeting of the
League, and from every point of view
the next gathering promises to be the
largest and most important in the
history of the organization. I espe-
cially desire to request that local Ne
gro Business Leagues be organized
and sustained in every community
where there are no such Leagues at
the present time; and in this connec-
ton. to express the wish that new life
and vigor be put into the work of the
local Leagues already organized.
It SENS to be the universal verdict
of our people that since the organiza.
ton of the National Negro Business
League at Boston in 1900. the bust
ness interests of our people have been
stimulated and increased throughout
the country many per cent. and all
agree that the National Negro Bust
ness League has more than justified
its existence. It is important that 10
