MONEY For THE ROOSEVELT CAM
PAIGN.

A story to the effect that Andrew
Carnegie has promised to see to it that
the Roosevelt Campaign Committee
does not want for money for cam
paign expenses is credited to the
washington correspondent of the Bos-
ton Advertiser, an administration or
gan. According to this story it was
reported to Mr.. Carnegie that Wall
street was going to draw its purse
strings tight when the Republican
Campaign Committee came round for
campaign contributions, and he noti-
fled Republicans high in the councils
of the party that if such were the case
the committee could draw on him to
the extent of $1,OOO,OO0 Probably this
is one of the many stories manufactur-
ed by Washington correspondents when
they are short of copy. Still, there
is no reason why Mr.. Carnegie shouldn't
lend the Republican party helping
hand. He owes to it much of his
great fortune, 1t it hadn't been for
the protective tariff policy of that par
ty he wouldn't have been able to ac-
cumulate money as rapidly as he did
He made immense profits out of steel
rails. as we'll as of other protected
products of his mills.
1t is not easy to understand, how
ever, why an administration paper
should take so much satisfaction in
publishing this story. unless it was to
show Wall street that the Republican
party could get alone without it's as
slstance. If that was it's purpose it
didn't understand the situation. Wall
street and the trusts magnates are
not going to close their purses to the
Republican party. 1t is true that Mr..
Roosevelt has been paraded before the
country as trust buster" and he
was spurred on by public sentiment
to bring a suit against the Northern
Securities Company, but he has prac-
tically notified the trusts that they have
nothing further to fear from him. This
| notification was through the Attorney
General in his celebrated running
amuck" interview.
But, however much Wall street may
give, Mr.. Carnegie's $1.000O 600 will be
needed. Mr.. Roosevelt isn't going to
have a walkover for the presidency.
The indications are that the Democrat
ic party viii make platform on which
all Democrats can stand, and nomi-
nate a ticket which all Democrats will
be willing to support. Should these
indications be realized, the Republicans
will have need for all the money they
can get.

Mr.. Langley's Luck.

Michael Servetus Langley had been
playing the races for weeks, but in
stead of following his own judgment
he had trusted to the touts and the
sporting columns, with the result that
he had lost the most of his wad, says
the Chicago Tribune.
While looking over the printed list
of horses entered for certain race
one day an idea occurred to him.
He cut the list out of the paper,
folded it several times, and stuck a
pin through it.
Then he unfolded it and observed
that the pin had gone through the
names of several of the horses.
"Those are the ones I'll bet on" he
said.
He did so.
Every one of those horses lost.

INTENSIVE FARMING.


"The Fat of the Land" is the title
OF a new book by DR.. John Williams
Streeter. DR.. Streeter's health became
poor, and he went into the country
to recuperate. Instead of idling and
resting" he sought employment for
work to establish a model farm.
The book is the story of his farm
ing operations. To begin with, he
had 100000 that he was willing to
invest in the enterprise, and he set
about making the investment and cal
culating for profits in precisely the
same manner that he would have pur-
sued had he been investing a like sum
in a manufacturing establishment or
a mercantile venture. He set about
to achieve the very best possible re-
suits from everything undertaken. He
bought only the best stock, the best
seeds, the best fruit trees and the best
implements. All of his buildings We're
constructed with an eye to cleanliness
and hygienc principles. No filth was
the pig pens or the hen houses. The
cows were kept scrupulously clean and
highly nourished, and when COW
failed to come up to the standard OF
milk production she was sold or killed,
to make room for a better cow. No
hay, grain or other proVender was
sold from the farm, but all was fed
to the stock and returned to the soil,
along with considerable other fertiliz-
ers. An intensive system of feeding
all stock, all vegetation and all land
was adopted, with a view to securing
the heaviest production. Immense pig
geries and memories were set up, and
thousands of apple trees were plant
ed. The only things sold off the farm
were butter, eggs, pigs and apples,
yet these were sold in sufficient guam
titles to net a profit of 10 per cent.
on the investment, and all the while
the farm was increasing in value.
Nothing was wasted. Everything was
made to count. A carefully kept set
of books would show at any time the
financial standing of the experiment.
If disease broke out in certain hen
house or piggery, the stock and build
ings would be sacrificed. destroyed, in
order that the disease might be check
ed. There was no poetry about DR..
Streeter's farming; it was business
like, and it brought results.
There are relatively few farmers who
can go into the business as DR.. Street
er did, prepared with ample capital
to carry out his plan of campaign;
but 1t seems that his general princi-
pie of striving for the best always
and of leaving no loose ends hanging,
might be adopted by about every far
mer. A very great many farmers keep
no books of accounts; they take all
possible from the land and give back
as little as they can; they permit
much of the stock to hustle for them
selves" during the greater part of the
year, and give their fruit trees only
passing attention. DIR. Streeter's ap-
pie trees We're cared for as attentively
as if they were a housewives geran-
iums, with the result that his fruit
always brought top prices and found
ready sale. His whole establishment
was conducted on the intensive, in
contradistinction to the extensive, sys-
tenn; and on the farm he found both
health and pecunlary profit

ADear old story Reto1d.

Representative Maddox of Georgia
has son who recently graduated from
law schol, and has hung out his shin
gle in Rome. says the Washington
Post. A few days ago the son visited
Washington and had a long talk with
his father about the law business.
"Oh, yes, father" he said, as the
conference neared an end. I've set
tied that Blank VS.. Blank suit, which
you've had dragging on for the past
twenty years"
Judge Maddox almost jumped from
his chair.
Great Scott, boy!" he exclaimed,
you don't mean that you've gone and
settled that case. Why, 1 turned that
over to you as a life annuity

he will retire from Congress at the end
of his present term. And l reckon,

time American manufacturers of steel
rails are selling the product of their
mills abroad at $40 a ton less than it
can be bought by the railroads in this
country.
1t is not to be wondered at therefore
that such a condition of affairs pre-
sents an issue which the Republicans
do not want to see raised. They have
been cutting off all debate on tariff
subjects in this Congress. with the
hope Of keeping the people from think
ing about the tariff. They pretend they
are going to reform the tariff i'm
mediately after the presidential cleo
ton. but what sort of reforming will
they do? Their party is practically
owned by the sheltered trusts
and there is no probability of their do
ing any reforming that isn't accepta-
BILE to the trusts.
The tariff will be a leading if not
the paramount issue in the presiden-
tial campaign, and it will have a big
influence in determining the result
Of it.

Joel Benton, who may be seen almost
any day at the luncheon hour at a ia
BILE in the southeast corner of Dewey's
in Fulton street-generally with a CO.
terie of choice spirits, who make Sat-
urday their day de resistance'-was
close friend of Phineas T. Barnum,
the great American Snowman, says the
New York Commercial. Barnum was
an ideal host, and next to his keen in
terest in the greatest show on EARTH"
he enjoyed nothing better than enter
tanning his friends at his house and
table. Among those who visited him
most frequently at Lindencroft or
Waldmere and who gave the name to
the last residence was the man who
sometimes calls himself author of
prose and worse. Joel Benton.
1t is popularity of Benton that,
with one slight exception, he eats
neither butter nor milk and none OF
the ordinary meats not for any by
gienic or philosophical reason. but
simply because they are distinctly un-
palatable to him. On one occasion
when young woman occupied a seat
near Benton at Barnum's table the
waiter handed the bachelor author
some butter. "Oh!" said Barnum to
the waiter, and pointing to the young
lady, you shouldn't do that, for he
doesn't love any but her"
Barnum's table. of course, was al
ways bountifully supplied with a great
variety of food, and yet on another oc-
casion when Benton refused the beef
and the lamb and the butter. Mr..
Barnum YEARLY said: "Well Ben
ton, you seem likely to starve here.
What can we serve your"
oh" said Benton. Il eat everything
that flies or swims.'
Very well, then" said Barnum,
well get YOU a crow and a whale
tomorrow !"

PROBABLY THE PARAMOUNT IssUl

The tariff is going to play an i'm
portant part in the presidential cam
paign. That is made evident by the at
tention which the tariff question is
being given by the leading Democrats
of the House. Recently Mr.. Williams,
the leader of the minority of that
body. had a good deal to say about the
Clark of Missouri outlined very clear
ly the Democratic position in respect
to that very important subject.
One of the greatest of the trust
builders said on one occasion. when a
witness before a congressional COM
mittee, that the tariff was the mother
of trusts. That being the case the
thing TO do is to reduce the tariff to
a revenue basis. The trusts shelter
themselves behind the tariff, and from
the people with impunity.
The talk of revision of the tariff is
alarming to the Republicans. They
know how the people feel about the
present tariff. The farmers especially
feel that they are being robbed by
means of it. They know that all
kinds of agricultural implements and
machinery manufactured in this coun-
try are sold in foreign countries at
much lower prices than they are sold
at home.
The farmers Of Russia, for instance.
can get American farm implements
and machinery for less money than
farmers who live within a few miles
of the places where these articles are
manufactured can get them. Such a
condition of affairs is unjust to our
farmers.
And the railroads have good reason
to complain. They have to pay a great
deal more for steel rails than Ameri-
can rails are sold for in other
countries. 1t is said that at this very
