been active under favorable soil con-
ditions in the central valleys, and have
begun in the southern portion OF the lake
region A large part Of the corn area
in the Southern States has been planted
and much is up to good standards.
All reports indicate that the outlook
for winter wheat throughout the coun-
try is unusually fine, and that the cror
has made satisfactory progress.
In California the condition of the cror
is excellent in all sections. and the heav-
lest crop in years is promised. Tho
seeding OF spring wheat is well advanced
over the southern part of the spring
wheat region In the northern portion
of the spring wheat region delay in seed
ing was caused by the rains Of April &c
8 and subsequent freezes.
Oat seeding is largely finished in tht
States of the lower Missouri valley, ant
is well advanced in the upper Mississippi
and Ohio valleys. Excellent germina.
ton is generally indicated,
Very little cotton has been planted il

been satisfactory. Preparations fol

THE NEXT CONTEST.

Sometime ago n prominent and OBJ
serving Republican Of Mineral Point
himself II high protectionist, declar.
ed that the next national contest
would be fought out on the tariil
question; and he was In all probably
correct In his observation. The
whole trend Of economic and political
events Is towards u revolt against the
restrictive import duties.
The following brief extracts from an
article In the Milwaukee journal
shows how the reform movement Is
growing In Massachusetts:
ain spite OF all that the Home Mar
ket club and the other exclusive tariIl
advocates can do the demand for re-
vision Ia sweeping the state and there
Is now Likelihood that the Republican
machine will be forced to join the re-
form procession.
"There are two highly significant
things about this novel campaign.
1.-THE first IL that there is money be-
hind the movement, indicating that
the protected interests themselves are
becoming tired OF n tariff law that ox.
cludes instead OF protects. These men
want u chance Mt the markets of the
world and they are willing to take the
consequence of world competition.
"The second Is the demand is not
being made for reciprocity but for
tariff revision. The term OF reciproc-
ity has been dropped. The committee
In charge Of the campaign was organ.
iged To promote reciprocity. 1t is
now advocating straight out revision
II evidently sees what should be clear
to all, that reciprocity will not accom-
plish the end desired, There must be
nothing short Of reasonable revision.
'tThere Is hope and encouragement
in this Massachusetts campaign.
Other states will follow The demand
for revision Is not confined to any
one state. 1t Is u national demand
and will grow In force until revision
Is attained. Tariff reform will not
down -
