Volume and Value of Crops

The corn crop of 1896, which
amounted to some 2,27o, 900, 600
bushels, was valued at S448,o 900,
900. That was the size and value
of the crop harvested during the last
year of the Cleveland administra-
tion and under the Wilson G orman
Tariff. The corn crop of 1904,
which in volume amounts to con-
siderably less than that of 1896, is
yet valued at a trifle over 1000. e.
900, 900, or more than double
the value of the crop under Cleve-
land and Free Trade. The same
comparison might be made with the
wheat crop and other agricultural
products of 1896 and 1904, showing
that the total value of crops which
in the last Democratic year amount
ed to considerably less than 81, 600,
900, 900 are this year in excess of
s., 1000, 900, 900, or a gain of al
most double for crops amounting to
no more in the number of bushels
harvested.
This is where the Republican
claim that Protection gives value to
the crops comes in. The Demo-
cratic sneer that Providence and
nature, sunshine and rain, have
much to do with the growth and
harvesting of the crops, fails entire
ly in the light of these figures of
values. 1t is Republicanism and
Protection, and demand for these
crops which insures almost their
entire consumption by we'll en-
ployed andhighly paid people which
make the crops of 1904, although
less in volume. worth fully double
those crops which we're harvested
under Clevelandism aad Free Trade.

Sympathy for Foreigners F

SO long as the dumping of Ameri
can products on foreign markets was
confined to the shipping abroad of
agricultural products the American
Free Trader had not word to say
againet the practic. On the con
trary, he regarded it with some
favor as contributing to result he
apparently wished to see achieved
namely, making England the work
shop of the world. But as soon as
the United States began to dump
manufactured products in the Brit
ish market he set up howl. 1t is a
curious statement, but it is true
that when any sympathy is shown
by the American Free Trader it is
for the fellow on the other side of
the water; his own country and
he leaves out of con-
San Francisco "Chron-
icle."

nations the Kansas legislature could
be relied upon to take a hand, In
the interests of fairness.
We do not subscribe to the theory
that the Standard can buy up the
legislature and pass or suppress
any legislation they choose. They
may be able to do so down east
but the Kansas legislators are made
of different material.
1t has been rhe standing boast of
one of our prominent gas -pipers-
out that he could buy the Kansas
legislature with few thousand
dollars, any time. But we must
consider that, that gentleman is
from Missouri and never attempted
to deal with Kansas legislators.
We notice the pipers-out are quite
ANXIOUS to ge. their pipe lines laid
before the legislature meets, not
withstanGlng their boasts. Even
the Standard company with all its
millions might run up against a
formidable proposition.
So we think it is perfectly feast
BILE to build independent refneres
and trust to the laws and law makers
of the state to hold the Standard in
line. We have the stuff she wants
in great quantities. Aye, the stuff
on which her very life depends.
She wants it and will pay rea-
sonable price for it when she has to-,
buts SO long as she has no competi-
tion whatever, she is likely to buy
it at rather low price.

The Eastern War

The eastern war seems 10 be pro-
crossing slowly, now. The Port
Arthur siege a little quiet. The
Japs seem to be devoting consid-
erable time to tunneling under
the Russian forts. When tunn eI
is run into the hill on which tn e
fort stands a sufficient distance. it
is filled with powder and touched
off. Then where once there was a
strong defence there is oaly hole
in the ground.
This is less hazardous method
than the assault but it lacks the life
and rush of the assault method. II
seems the Russians have adopted
the die in the last ditch theory there
aud are bound to hold out as long
as there is handful of them left.
The two vast armies about Muk-
don seem 10th to begin the great
battle.
There have been rapid and i'm
portant movements among the
Japanese troops of late and the
Russians are expecting speedy
attack. Some kind of fanking
movement seems to be contemplat
ed by the Japs if not already begun
Small engagements between detach-
ments are constantly occurring and
a general battle may be precipitated
at any moment.
The Japs seem to be guarding
the harbor about Port Arthur very
carefully and it is difficult to get
supplies of any kind to the besieged
garrlsion.
A large German vessel laden with
heavy clothing and provisions has
lately been captured by the Japs as
it was trying to evade the blockade.
The Jap navy seems to be ready
for the Russian fleet that is on the
way. The opinion is general that
they will make short work of it
when it comes in reach.

Pure Gall

The wonderful display of gall by
this man Crouch who was persistent
in asking for franchise for an
electric line IN this city and on to
Humboldt, eliminated Monday
night in his asking the council to
snbmit bond proposition in aid of
his proposed road. The wisdom of
Mr.. Jockeys resolution in council
asking him to put up bonus OF
ST., 900 is now very apparent.
Mr.. Crouch simply wanted this
franchise as little matter of spec
ulation if he could induce our coun-
Gil to grant it without cost to him.
He simply wanted few months in
which to get up speculation off of
the city.
We are surprised that there is
even OuC IUCtuDCI VI tuS SOuhSi eh"e
still seems inclined to stay by the
schemer. But, then, you know,
there have been several little ban
uuets and free dinners and SIGH.
There is no great rush for this
street car business. When the time
is really ripe for it it will come with
out any coaxing or extra induce
ments. There is plenty of capital
ready and waiting for such enter
prises when cIrcumstanstances and
surroundings seem to demand them.

at the present time would hardly be

The Way Out

And now comes the independence
oil producers with big roar on the
new method the Standard has
adopted of buying the oil in this
:. field by actual gravity test. While
the Independence producers seem
inclined to kick over the new deal
the Chanute operators are feeling
good. The Independence men
have held an unfair edge over the
producers of this locality so long
that fair deal between the two
does not seem to rest well. How
ever we do not blame the Indepen-
d nee men for kicking. A kick IS
always in order against the methods
of the Standard Co.
We think the new method the
fairest that has been devised be-
tween the operators but it does
seem the scale should be higher.
The price of the refined product
and the reduced stocks of crude in
the country demand better price
for the crude product. But so long
as the producers have but the one
market just so long will they be at
the mercy of the Standard and be
obliged to stand an assessment on
every gallon of crude produced to
pay for every refinery or pipe line
the Standard sees fit to put in.
If the producers could trust one
another a little more fully and
stand together in the matter of
erecting few small refneries in
different parts of the field, we think
the Standard Co. would be more
likely to respect their just demands.
This wall, however, from the In
dependence producers seems little !
strange since for so long they seem
ed to be the chosen people of the
Standard and were afraid to join |
the producers association for fear of
offending their patron.
We hope to see the time come
when the oil producers of Kansas
will manifest :he true Kansas spirit
of independence and make an effort
at least to build up a market for
their product independent of the
Standard Co.
We do not think it would be wise
to start in to buck the Standard.
That is not the object, but simply
strive for a competing market.
There is vast amount of capital
now invested in the Kansas oil field
and it is backed up by vastly more.
Independent refneries on the CO.
operative plant could be established
throughout the field greatly to the
benefit of the oil interest. Then
II the Standard Co. undertook to
freeze them out by unjust discrimi
