How the Increment i. Earned

The value of the crops produced dur
ing particular season tend to regulate
the value of the capital (tlie soiD from
which they are produced, just like the
dividends which different securities
which pay them. Henry George has
spoken OF the ''unearned increment" that
has arisen from the appreciation in land
values. But while the agricultural his
tory of the United States for the last
eight years has shown m enormous
amount of this Increment" yet to say
that it has been ''unearned' is a rank
injustice to the farmers who have CO.
operated with Providence to produce
the crops on which not only land values.
but the national prosperity is based from
year to year
There are some people who seem to
think that it is only by speculation that
wealth is acquired. There are other
people who hold that hard industry is
all that is needed for the accumulation
OF the riches of this earth. There are
others who lay stress on smartness, on
economy and on other traits Of long
hcudedness. But while there are many
different ways by which individuals of
our country have grown wealthy, yet to
trace out how the United States ms
nation has grown to be multi-billion-
aire. we must primarily consider the
record of yield and prices on our crops.
1t is a popular delusion that the size
OF the crops is the whole thing as re-
CARDS agricultural prosperity. Provi-
dence and the farmers individual dill
gence are responsible for the size of his
crops. But the financial appraisement
Of this great work of Providence and
himself, which makes up the supply"
is determined by the market demand"
md this in turn. is affected largely by
national economic policies.
Except for wheat the supply from
this years crops of the United States
will probably be greater than for last
year. In the aggregate as regards size,
the crops will this year very likely be
the most abundant in our history, unless
the present bumper prospects in corn
should. at the eleventh hour, be reduced
by unlucky visitation of frost. And in
the aggregate as regards values, 1t looks
as IL our crops would this year bring
greater wealth to the United States than
ever before.
steady Gains In vaiue.
The following tables show how steady
have been the gains in cash values OF
staple crops. despite fluctuations from
year to year in size of crops:

What Makes Prices Higher.
The purpose of this article has thus
been to show that while crops may vary
In size from year to year, the cash in
come from them seems in a general way
to increase from year to year what
ever the size of the crops. Last year
(l9O3) the total farm value of the chief
cereals and of hay and potatoes was
nearly two billion and half dollars,
and this year it promises to be much
greater than last.
So far as the mere size Of the crops
Ia alone concerned, it would seem unreas-
enable, for instance, that n crop of
wheat of AGO, O,267 600 bushels (the crop
Of 1894 should, in January. 1895. have
sold so low as 4SH cents per bushel.
while the 1904 crop OF wheat, which at
the lowest present estimates is 100000
0Q0 bushels, should now be selling at
81. 10 per bushel
But it Is evident that there are causes
at work to make our farm products sell
better from year to year. While sup
plies huctuate the market demand
steadily increases. This fact should
be considered very strong bull"
argument not only on land values
but on the general future business con-
dition of the country, for every increase
over this two billion and half dollars of
farm land income of last year means just
SO much more increase in the purchasing
power Of the American people, and just
30 much more business for all our in
dustries, and just so much more work,
wages and profits for all our people
anxious to better their condition of life.
The causes that are at work to make
farm products sell better from year to
year are undoubtedly connected with the
general policies of Republican adminis-
tratiOn.
When William Mckinley, in 1896,
said it was better to open American
mills to American labor than to open
the mints OF the United States to the
silver of the world. he expressed the
policy that transformed bad times for
the entire people under Democratic rule
to good times for the entire people under
Republican rule. With the people in the
cities more prosperous, because Of the
policies of protection and of sound
money. the people in the country were
bound to be more prosperous, too, be-
cause there was an improved market
for what they had to sell. This, in n
nutshell, is the secret of the constantly
increasing agricultural prosperity of tho
United States under Republican rule.

WHOM SHALL WE HIRE?
An Untried Man, or One Who Has
Made q Good Record.


The good results of the affairs Of
nation depend almost absolutely upon
Its relations with other nations. There
Is, under the present condition of thought
and affairs, an advancement in the
world-a community Of nations. The
one among those nations which exhibits
the greatest honesty and tact and COM
mon sense, is the nation which will
be to the fore.
Under the administration of the party
that is now controlling the affairs of
the United States has occurred such ex-
trnordinary diplomatic success as has
perhaps never been excelled by any ma
ton at any time. This success has ac-
crued because of the tact and sense of
the present President of the United
States, assisted by his Secretary of
State. The record has been something
extraordinary, and all the civilized world
has recognized it.
Tact and sense are just as much a
requisite in the conduct of the affairs
of a nation MS they are in the affairs
of corporation or an individual. We
reward those who exhibit tact and sense
by continuing them in place, for our
own benefit. The conclusion need hardly
be expressed. Any American citizen of
intelligence will know whom to vote for
this fall - t |r ff.

TRADE WITH THE EAST.

lions of tons of rice Japan consumes
every year cannot. of course, be defn-
itely ascertained. The total is some
thing enormous. But the sudden fact
appears that already Japan is begin

With mutual regard and commercial
good-fellowship existing. and with Japan
now turning to -four. and with the whole
western side of our vast empire with
flour to give to the rest of the world,
the condition becomes most simple. For
the good OF all concerned, whole nations
considered. it is necessary that we should

ourselves.
The fact that the Japanese army Is

Japan has begun trading earnestly with
the United States in the cereal upon

commercial welfare depends. and yet this

out the future but Japan, wonderful as
she is, is but the fringe nearest to us
of that great Asia, overpopulated and
hungry, and looking to this newer hemi-
sphere to feed it, under newly existing
conditions.
The conditions have been provided by
the accidental possessions following a
sudden war. We have made our path.
way. Not to maintain that pathway,
with its landing nt the other side of
the Pacifc-which means the Philippines
would be a crime against the interests
of this country and n crime against the
interests Of the Asiatic nations.
This crime will not be copmitted. The
great commercial road secured across
the greatest of the oceans, will be re-
tanned and maintained by the United
States of America. "Imperialism" as
they call it, or not, the bald fact remains
that under the present Republican ad-
nnistration it is proposed to hold what
Providence has given to MS and with it to
do what seems best for the ultimate well
fare of the people of two hemispheres.

ofcou... Not.

David B. Hill stated, in one of his
speeches, that Mr.. Roosevelt, on taking
the oath of office after the death of
President Mckinley. said that he would
hot be candidate for President In 1904.
President Roosevelt has never made a
promise as to his own personal action
which he did not redeem. The President
Is outspoken, fair and square. These
are characteristics of the man. He
makes no promises he does not intend to
keep, and he keeps such as he makes.
The silly story started by Hill had no
foundation in fact, and it is really not
worth the ink and paper that has been
used in denying it, except that it once
more marks the character of Hill.

know best what to do with the things

having made the tariff, which has made
this country the most prosperous of all

only party which can readjust the tariff

Naturally, and very properly, from
their point of view. the opponents of the
Republican party concede nothing. As
preliminary, they claim the tariff is
monster of some sort; that it is bad and
has been ever bad. Nevertheless, under
certain existent circumstances it seems
to have worked WELL and our great trade

our farmers and our workmen fatten un-
