AGRICULTURE Is THE KING.
Cotton and Iron Have Been Deposed
by the General Products
of the Farm.

Cotton Is king" was once a more
familiar saying; but in the realm OF
business which the great white staple
was supposed to govern there rose
rival claimant, pretender it may be,
but at any rate strong one, and then
it was proclaimed that Iron is king.
A writer in a New York newspaper,
in reviewing the business situation and
presenting some figures of the interna-
tional commerce of the United States,
declares that neither cotton nor iron
is king, but that the real. the great
monarch is agriculture. The annual
report Of Secretary Wilson shows how
true this is, says Youths Companion.
1t is only casually that the secretary
calls attention to the fact that the peo-
pie of the United States-SO, 10000 OF
them-not only sustained themselves
last year, but contributed food and raw
materials for manufactures by which
many other millions Of people In for
eign countries were sustained. he
quickly passes to consideration OF
the so-called balance Of trade" This
as he shows, exhibits a popularity
which Seems to have escaped the at
tention of the public" namely. that 1t
is always farmers balance OF trade.
During the year 1903 the imports OF
the United States. other than Of agri-
cultural products, exceeded the exports
by $56,OOOOOO That is, there was a
balance of trade unfavorable to the
United States to that amount. But
when the traffic in agricultural prod
ucts is included how different is the
story! Instead of $56,OOO,OOO against
the United States. the figures become
1861, 100000 in its favor.
AS these figures we're not impressive
enough, Secretary Wilson goes on tc
give those for the last IA years. IN
lump sums. Were agricultural products
omitted, the nation during that time
would have an unfavorable balance
of 1856, 100000. The farmers not only
wiped that out, but brought In sur
plus of nearly $4,000, 900. '"Thest
figures" Secretary Wilson adds, "terse'
ly express the immense national re-
serve-sustaining power of the farmers
Of the country. 1t is the farm
ers who have paid the foreign bond
holders"

WOLVES ATE DoUCHNUTs.

Wolves have been particularly ag-

FAR AWAY COUNTRIES

There are very few paupers in Japan,
because old age 10 revered there. No
parents or children come to want there
unless all their natural protectors are dead
or disabled.
-
A lake containing fresh water on top
and salt water on the bottom has been
discovered on Kildin Island, Lspland.
The lake rises and falls with the tide, and
the salt water evidently comes from the
sea by an underground channel.

Curious ceremonies are witnessed in
Siam when one of the sacred white ele-
plants dies. 1t is given funeral grander
than that accorded to princes Of royal
blood. Buddhist priests officiste, and
thousands of devout Siamese men and
women follow the deceased animal to the
grave. Jewels and offerings representing
some thousands of pounds are buried With
the elephant.

Siberia, so long stretched before tue
imagination of the world as land of snow
and desolation, that even now, when the
transsiberian railway has been built, aud
when the productiveness of that vast
country is beginning to be understood, one
is rather surprised to hear that more than
$40, 900 900 worth of butter is annually
exported from Siberia. Its great plains
afford good grazing, and within three
years after the railway was opened 1000
butter manufacturers were erected. The
government has now undertaken to fur
nish free instructions on large scale in
dairying and butter making.

The Next President.

Editor Independent: 1t is quite GER
tain that either Roosevelt or Parker
will be our next president. Wall street
and the big trusts are little more d.
vided than they were four and eight
years ago. That gang knew they could
not get what they wanted out OF
Bryan. Now, many of them seem to
think they will get what they want out
Of either Roosevelt or Parker. A ma
iority seem to think that Parker's
election is necessary for Roosevelt Is
too much in love with the common
people. They will PROBABLY use more
election money than was ever used be-
fore. Twenty-Five millions will UNI
doubtedly be expended in New York,
Connecticut, Indiana. and Illinois. The
shrewd vote sellers will undoubtedly
charge more for their votes than ever
before.
There is really but little difference
in the two platforms. They both can
be relied upon to stand for the gold
standard. Neither party dared to say
what they would do with the silver
dollars and the greensacks. 7s
The republican platform promises
ship subsidy to our sailors, because
they have to compete with European
cheap sailors and the tariff can not
protect. 1t is just so with our farm
ers. About one-thir6 OF our wheat and
meat is sold in Europe and for what,
we sell in New York we get European,
prices. less the Atlantic freight A
farm subsidy is equally necessary and
just. ia
The republican platform states that
prosperity has always resulted from
a high tariff The nart times in 1873
was under high republican tariff
and In 1893 hard times were visible
long before any change in the high
tariff was made.
