"The farmers Of this country have
in two years produced wealth ex-
ceeding the output of all the gold
mines of the entire world since Co
lumbus discovered America.
This years product is over SIX
times the amount of the capital
stock of all national banks, it lacks
but three fourths of billion dollars
of the value of the manufactures OF
1900 less the cost of materials.
ut is three times the gross earn
ings from the operations of the rail
ways, and four times the value OF
all minerals produced in this eoun-
try"
This is not a page from an Arab
ian Nights tale, but is the calm, of
fetal assertion of the Hon. James
Wilson, secretary of agriculture,
says The Atlanta Journal
In his annual report Secretary VIII
son imparts the comforting informa-
ton that the corn crop of 1904 alone
is so profitable that from its pro-
ceeds the farmer could have paid the
national debt and left big surplus
in the treasury.
1.-THE hens have produced during
the year one and two-thirds billions
ofdozens ofeggs-enough each month
to pay a years interest on the ma
tional debt.
THE value of the total products
of the farms for the year, is estimat-
ed at 81, 100000, 900, even after ex-
Guiding the value of the farm crops
fed to live stock. This is 8 So per
cent more than the value OF the
crops of 1903, and 81. % per cent
above that for the census year of
1899.
1.-THE increase in capitalinvested in
agriculture since 1900 is estimated
at $2,o0O,O0O,0O0. This is exclus-
i've of the increase in the farm land
values,
Bank deposits have increased
from 1896 to 1904, in Iowa 164 per
cent; in Kansas 249 per cent, and in
Mississippi 301 per cent. The gen
eral increase for the whole country IS
81 per cent.
Agriculture used to be popularity
looked upon as the backbone Ct
American industry Of recent years
the enormous development of trusts
and the almost fabulous figures used
in connection with the railway and
banking interests have blinded us to
the solid industry that still furnishes
the foundation for all other BUSH
ness"

INDIViDUALISM.

Out of individual efforts have
grown competition. Through our
wolfsh competitiev system, compe-
tition has become sharper and sharp
er, until the far-seeing business men
have combined to pile profit on top
OF proft. This is working a hard
ship on the individual with small
business concern, and on the labor
ing classes. who are the only wealth
producers.
Think of the cotton being burned
while there are thousands of individ-
uals suffering for the want of cloth
ing. This is not caused by overpro-
duction, for there is no such a thing
as overproduction until every one is
well clothed and fed, and to spare.
What individual rights have the
hundreds of people in the sweat
shops and factories, without houses
OF their own, when the wheels of the
great commercial world are locked
on the masses of unemployed, when
rent is due. provisions gone, and
their masters say I'VE can't give you
work.
| have seen them piled up like hogs
on cold, frosty morning, on the
ground, with no protection but the
clothing on them, and the sky
above.
What individual rights have they?
The individual right is to beg or
starve. Individual right for what?
To skin ones fellows?
BY adopting socialism we can have
an individualism Of true character.
Then men that work in the trenches
will have the same individual rights
as the man on top.
Under our present profit and graft
system individual rights are monop-
olized.
1t requires greater effort of the
wealth producer all the time to exc
out a mere existence with no time
for recreation and rest while the
profit takers are spending their time
in riotous living.
Let us adopt socialism, then the in
dividual blessings will be placed where
they belong.
Then and not until then can we
cultivate individual standards, high
er ideals, set up the claims of art,
literature, not religions, for we
have too many religions, but chris
tianity, science and music.
Then we shall beat our swords in
to plowshares, and our spears into
pruning hooks.
Nation shall not lift up sword
against nation, neither shall we need
to learn. war. d. VS..

A magazine writer tells the follow

spent her vacation at a summer

Every farmer should be shy of the
stove men who are all the time tray
cling about the country. They
charge twice as much as their stoves
are worth. Not one farmer out of
dozen but regrets his purchase, il
he should be wheedled into buying
one of the stoves. The best way is
to buy OF the men at home who are
responsible.

LINCOLN COUNTY
BIG ENOUGH
FOR TWO
Talk Of Division Of Southern
Neighbor = Largest County in
the United States

A movement is under way in Lincoln
county to divide the county, the largest
in the United States, at the third stand
ard paral.e', making new county to be
called Fremont after the famous path
finder. Las Vegas wants to be the seat
of Fremont, the sawed Off section, and
her ambitious neigtbor, Caliente. Is WILL
ing to have the court house moved from
Phoebe. the present county seat Of Lin
coin, to her own pub ic square.
There is some opposition to the propo-
sition. but the most serious seems to be
the arrangement Of the county debt,
which, for several years has exceeded
the assessed valuation Of the property.
The county is unable even to meet the
interest on the enormous judgments that
have been piled up against her and the
only promise of relief is the entrance
into the county of the Clark railway ana
the resu ting increase in wealth and pop
uation.

A FISH WITH NINE
LEGS WALKS
AWAY
Wonderful Catch Of Truthful
Carson Quartette-Not a Pet.
rified Sea Serpent this Time

State Controller Sam Davis, Warden
Sweeney and Louis Bevier. all Of Carson.
Saturday landed one of the queerest
freaks in the fshh line ever seen in Me-
vada. says a Reno dispatch TO the Ex-
aminer. 1t is neither fish nor animal,
yet closely resembles both. 1t was
caught In the Carson river, close to the
Holsten ranch. by Mr.. Davis. 1t
measures about IS inches in length and
has nine legs. II has q head. fin. gi.is
and scales OF the fish, but the nine legs
are covered with fine, downy hair.
MFR. Davis placed the freak on display
in the office of a Carson newspaper and
IL attracted much attention.
No one has yet been found who can In
any manner classify the strange freak.
Mr.. Davis and his companions were
fishing with the regular flies when the
anima fish sprang from the water and
hooked on Mr. Davis line.ss For ten
minutes a battle royal took pace. the
fish finally being landed on the bank
nearly exhausted AS he was about to
pick up the strange creature, however,
IT began to walk away. 1t was rot until
then that the party noticed that the fish
had legs. so taken back were they that
strange creature came near escaping In
a nearby alta ia field. Unfortunately,
both for science as wei as for the Curl
osity of the party. The anImal-fsh was
killed by the excited men in their efforts
to capture It alive. Mr.. Davis. who. by
.ghe way is one of Nevadas most re-
spected citizens. states that in al 3
experience he has never seen fish sim
liar to the strange catch made. From
one who claims to have seen the freak
II liz learned that 1t is to be embalmed
and sent to the Smithsonian Institute.
