Independents For Judge Parker.

For the first time in its history the New
York Herald has pronounced, at the begin
ming Of a campaign, in favor Of particular
candidate for the Presidency. Heretofore
the Herald has been satisfied to print the
news, but to refrain from showing editorial
preference until the eve of election, and not
always then. No sooner, however, had
Judge Parker accepted the nomination for
the Presidency rendered to him unanimous
" by the Democratic National Convention
the Herald announced that it would sup
port him. This change Of front by the
Herald caused general surprise and was
spoken Of everywhere as an omen Of Judge
Parker's success.

A week ago Mr. Franklin Dye said that
This year crop values were the highest
ever known in New jersey"
This statement of the Secretary of the
farmers State Board surely viii not apply
TO Gloucester county. On Monday last we
conversed with two of our county's most
successful farmers, one said his commission
man did not make any remittance for last
weeks shipment, "a big truck wagon load
day. because there was nothing to remit,
while the second informed us that his
farmer had been notified not to ship any
more truck.
The GLOUCESTER COUNTY DEMOCRAT is
not a calamity shouter. It would rather
tell Of prosperity than calamity, but it
always aims to be truthful
Returning to the depression from which
truck farmers are suffering, we don't under
stand how it can be different. It is we'll
known fact that in the large cities which
form the market for Gloucester county's
farm products, thousands and thousands of
men are out Of employment. One has to
go no further than the New York Ship
Building plant, right here at home, to learn
the truth of this statement. Only frac-
tion Of the full force is now at work in that
great plant modern in every feature OF con-
Nsiruction, while Cramps are working only
about half handed; and twenty thousand
of Baldwin's workmen are walking the
streets. In addition to these, very few of
Philadelphia's manufacturing plants are
working full handed, and many are shut
down. This same condition prevails in
other cities east and west to an extent that
the tributary business of farming is de-
pressed beyond any period Of recent history.
Empty dinner pals hang in the workmen's
kitchen, while food is perishing in fields
because buyers are so few. Not over pro-
duction, but under consumption, is the
cause Of present agricultural depression in
Gloucester county. The reliance Of our
farmers now is the sweet potato crop; il that
meets the same reception in market that
tomatoes, melons, etc. have received, the
season Of 1904 will be remembered in this
county as the most unremuneratiye in
many, many years.

A local Hunderdon county paper gives
striking account Of the important results
accomplished in the way of reform in the
administration Of the county government
in single year OF the reduced Board Of
Freeholders, which was cut down under
the Strong act from twenty-one to three
members. The new Board has by business
acts aud honest methods saved the county
$40. 900 in one year. The tax rate will be
reduced from ffty-six cents to forty cents.
When other unnecessary expenses have
been Topped off and certain contemplated
reforms made, the annual expenses will be
still further reduced by at least $40,
The voters and taxpayers Of other counties
in the State might fix their attention upon
Hunterdon county's experience and put on
their thinking caps Middlesex is already
moving in the matter

called conference of negroes at AsburY

victories that the negro voters win the
Republican party, they have been very
modest in demanding recognition, and
even greater and honors would not cancel
