The recent government crop reports which forecasted larger crops of corn, wheat and cotton than had been ex. pected, were the principal sources of increased hopefu1ness, says Banker Clews The harvest is now practically beyond danger, and we are promised 2,46O,O0O,OOO bushels of corn, $50, ,O00,. 900 bushels of wheat and probably H. 100000 bales of cotton. These figures are all beyond what the crop killers would have had us believe a few weeks ago, and they have hhrownc the pessimists into disiifay Such results are not only beneficial to the stock market, but helpful to the country al large. There is now sufficient demand in sight for all our crops at good prices, which means ample profit for the farmer without extortionate prices to the consumer. This in turn means that our merchants will do a larger trade and that factory wheels will turn more speedily in ,consequence while the railroads will not only have more grain to carry, but more mer chandise, also, in consequence of bust ness revival.

THE CHILDREN WE KEEP
By Mrs. E. V. Wilson

h9HA&ea6lHE children kept coming by one sa. 2HHSNY Till the boys i've and the girls were thr >f ST-l And the big brown house alive with fun, gMFX1 From the basement floor to the old roof tree G-E#MSSM Like garden flowers the little grew, <MANNM Nurtured and trained with tenderest care; s lENJT1 Warmed by love's sunshine bathed in dew They blossomed into beauty rare. But one the boys grew weary day. 3 leaning his head his mothers breast said, sI tired and cannot play:
 Let sit awhile your knee and rest" v She cratief him close to her fond embrace eheb sleep with her sweetest song , And rapturous still lightened his face
 When his spirit had joined the heavenly throng. Then the eldest girl with her thoughtful eyes,
 Who where the brook and the river meet" Stole softly away into Paradise
 E'er 'the river" had reached her slender feet. While the fathers eyes the graves were bent, The mother looked upward beyond the skies "our treasures" she whispered were only lent;
 Our darlings angels in earth's disguise" The years flew by, and the children began
 With longings to think of the world outside, each in turn became man,
 The boys proudly went from the fathers side. The girls women gentle and fair
 That lovers were speedy to woo and to win; And with orange blooms in their braided hair,
 Their old home they left, new homes to begin so one by one the children have gone sg sa The boys five, the girls were three; And the big brown house is gloomy and lone,
 With but two old folks for it's company. -ays They talk to each other about the past, ,s4s sfes
 AS they sit together at eyentide, s.ne,. ae say, "All the children we keep at last .teE
 Are the boy and girl who in childhood died"

f had no idea that the cut would be so radical as that which has been forced upon them. Another disquieting fact is that some of the veterans in the different departments are to be let out. Men who have been with the steel plant twenty-five years were thrown out of employment. This has all oc- cured in a trust which enjoys i'm mense tariff benefits. This same trust closed down it's plants in South Chicago and threw 800 men into idle ness for quite a while this summer. The men who were thrown out of work then were men who had remain ed loyal to the steel trust in it's strike of two years ago. That seems, how ever, to have had no effect when the retrenchment process set i'll.

The Hon Bourke Cochran opened the eyes of those Waterbury republi- cans Saturday night at the Audi torium, and there was a good sprink- ling of them in the big audience. His argument was clean cut and delivered right from the shoulder, and that is why the dyed in the wool republicans through their mouthpiece are squirln- ing. His talk was mainly on the tar If and protection, and free trade, as our republican neighbors put it. Not free trade, at all times, however, but freer trade is what is wanted, or in other words the right and privilege and power to buy goods in this great big country as cheap as they can be bought in England or even in Spain, as MT Cochran put it. What non sense, or robbery as some call it, to manufacture or produce goods or ma terials right under our own noses and send them abroad, where they are sold at price from 10 to 50 per cent lower than they can be bought in this country. This is protection with. a vengeance, and for the benefit of the trusts. There is no lodging it, the extra price is put on here to support the tenth man that MT Cochran spoke of Saturday night. The other nine pay double so that he may wallow in luxury. More than pass ing strange it is that American pro- ducts continue to be sold in foreign ports cheaper than at home. Even sewing machines distinctively an American production, far surpassing in merit and cheapness of costs of manufacture any like machine of for eign origin, costs the home buyer nearly one hundred per cent more than the foreigner has to pay for 1t. Waterbury people need not go even so far to find the unjust and discriminat- ing influences of the tariff for the benefit of trusts, for a clock made right in our city is sold abroad for $1.5O and we must pay $2 for the same article. Just think of 1t, an article made in Waterbury. is sold in foreign countries at price 33 per. cent lower than it is in the city where it is made
 If free trade will remedy this, by all means let us have free trade, and the sooner the better.

The Rev De Witt Talmadge in re- cent sermon called attention to the manner in which the people of his faith buried their dead in many instances. Among other things he said: ''Then the funerals of our fathers and fore fathers. They never allowed a neigh Dor to be buried like d dog or. a friend less pauper, as sometimes we do. No. They literally practiced the gospel rule: Tt is better to go to the house of mourning than to the house of feast ing.' When their neighbors wept, they wept. When their neighborss were lowered into their open graves, they themselves held the ropes that gently let down the coffins. Was not their way better than our way? We live and breathe only for self. Was not the Christian helping hand our fore fathers extended to the troubled ones in their midst better than the icy stare with which we regard our neigh bors? We grumble in street car be, cause we have to wait for two min. utes while funeral procession, wend ing it's way to the cemetery, is holding us at crossing. The Golden Rule which our forefathers practiced should never be allowed to slip out of oul lives. The sick man who lives next door to us should be just as carefully cared for and nursed by us as if ht was our own son."

An extraordinary story comes from Berne, Switzerland, concerning the origin of the typhus epidemic which is at present existing in that city,. says an exchange. The Nouvelle Gazette de Zurich states that it is commonly reported at Berne that the outbreak has been traced to certain horsedesh which was served at cheap restatlr- ant and that this horsefesh had been bought from the bacteriological insti- tute, where the horse in question had previously been the subject of certain experhnnets with anti-typhus serum. The charge has created general indig- nation, and a searching inquiry into the whole affair has been demanded of the Berne sanitary authorities.

Here is a sample of republican pro-
 tection we hearaso much about: Only
 day or two ago there was ''re-
 adjustment of wages and working hours at the Joliet, III, plant of the United States Steel corporation. The reduction in wages amounts to from 20 to 40 per cent. Four thousand men are concerned. Skilled workmen who have been earning $8 600 veal. labor ing eight hours day have had their wages cut to $2,40O. To earn this they must work twelve hours day. This reduction is said to be a part of a general plan, put into operation at all plants of the United States Steel corporation October 1. Expert work CTS in the billet mills have been given an additional furnace to watch, and their salaries have been cut from $2,500 to 5000 a year. In a depart. ment known as the converter" wages have been cut 35 per cent, the number of men has been reduced, and the working hours have been increased. Prior to the "readJustment" fifteen men were at work at the ingot fur mace. Under the ''readjustment" nine men do the work.
