Average wages Of farm laborers in the
I-r.la.L naDa
OHIIlU -. pnr Ii months

II will be perceived that the average
rate paid in the United States in 1907
for six months is within SLIGO OF the
maximum rate paid TO the best farm
hands in Great Britain in May, 1904, and
almost double the minimum paid second
class men.
The figures Of our Department Of Ag-
riculture. moreover apply only to those
laborers hired by the year or season. the
rates where the engagement is by the
day are very much higher, being 50
cents per day. with board, and S1.l3
without. in 1902. against 63 cents with.
and 81 cents without board. in 1884.
This would make the pay, with board,
in 1894. average $3.50 for a half year
Of 100 days. while the average compen-
sation of the American farm laborer paid
b, the day in 1902 would be Sl33.5O
for the six months, with board.
But statistical averages. valuable as
they are in rejecting the general condi-
tions. are elusive and tantalizing things
when they attempt to cover the rate Of
wages in an occupation like agriculture,
which. including employers and employ
ed numbers at least 11.O00.OO0 persons
over 10 years of age and upwards Of ev-
ery age. color and sex. The American
farm laborer knows what wages he re-
ceives. and he can compare it with what
is paid in England, and greatly to his
own satisfaction.
He also knows that the above aver
ages in the United States for 1894 and
1902 fairly though family reflect the
difference between his industrial condi-
tion during the last Democratic national
administration and now. And in Novem-
her he will not vote for any party whose
success woull foreshadow return to
the conditions Of 1894 and 1895.

WHY ALL's WELL IN KANSAS.
It Is Because of Sound Money and the
Protective Policy.

Few people realize how or why the
coalition Of Kansas is watched with
such solicitude throughout the country
especially in the Western States.
The fact is indisputable that there is
something about its climate, the mer-
curial disposition of its people and the
conditions of life in Kansas that make
il a sort of barometer for the rest of the
republic When there is anything seri-
Gus the matter with Kansas il is GER
tain that all is not exactly right with
her ueighbOrs. When there is a drouth
in Kansas there is apt to be q mighty
thirst in all the region west of the Mis-
sissippi. When the rains and sunshine
bless Kansas with bountiful harvests
and the cyclone and grasshopper give her
wide berth, the fatness is apt to extend
beyond her borders and fill the land with
reason for rejoicings and content.
When Providence frowns on Kansas
the heart of the nation is usually sorrow
full for her-and for itself.
When Providence smiles on Kansas
the rest of US generally bid au reyoir to
melancholy.
Therefore Senator Fairbanks did well,
in opening the Republican campaign at
Marion, Kan, Sept 1, to remind his au-
ditors Of the change that had come over
their prospects since the days when the
whole land rang with the cry, Whats
the matter with KansasY Happily he
was able to proclaim, if not from the
house tops, at least to the telegraph Op-
orators for dissemination throughout the
nation, that "All's well in Kansas"
Swiftly be drew the picture of the con-
ditions as they existed eight years ago:
kansas was suffering from the effects
Of Democratic administration. The in
terestG Of her agriculture languished. Her
crops rotted in the field or were market
ed at unremunerated prices" And much
more to the same effect Then he point
Ell to the prosperity Of the present, with
out need to recapitulate the blessings
that good crops. good prices, good govern
ment and sound money showered upon
Kansas as from an eXhaustless urn.
During the last seven years" he said"
mo one has shared the prosperity which
has come TO the country in a fuller de-
gree than the farmers of Kansas" And
he illustrated the prosperity Of the State
by the increase in her bank deposits
from $33, 100000 in 1928 to over $780,
OOO.OOO in 1903" As matter of exact
record it might be well TO say that the
bank deposits in Kansas increased from
SIC. .520. .zS7 in 1896 to SS4,055, 10, or
$50 per cent, while those Of the whole
country increased from 1921 ,S2s, ,339 to
S54O. .649, 7O2, or slightly under 1874 per
cent.
Would the reader know how all this
wonderful prosperity came TO Kansas?
1t wSs through her own industry stimu-
lated and protected by the sound econ
omic and monetary policies Of the Re
publican party.
In 1895 corn on the farms Of Kansas
was Bringing is cents a bushel; last year,
according to the report of the Depart
Milford chronicle., 1904-09-16

ment Of Agriculture, it brought 36 cents
or exactly double as much.
In 1895 the price Of wheat OF the Kan
sas farm was 81 cents per pushel; last
year, according to the same authority
it was n cents.
In 1898 the price Of oats on the Kan
sas farm was II cents; last year it was
3O-a case where 80 cents was a joke
which the Kansan appreciated clear
down TO his boots.
During this period freight rates on
wheat per 100 pounds from Atchison,
Kan, to Chicago were reduced from y
to 10 cents, and on rye, barley, corn aud
oats from 20 to 16 cents.
In 1895 the revenue Of the railways
per passenger per mile in the territory Of
which Kansas is the center was 2.2t5
cents; in 1902 it had fallen 10 2.23G
cents. In the same period the railroad
