Still Working for his Downfall.

Now that the good fortune and the
artful diplomacy of NJ. White have con-
fused his enemies he is no better loved
by them than he was when they con-
spired TO intrust him with a mission
they believed he could not successfully
perform. It is learned at Washington
that even now those same enemies are
planning future traps for the eminent
statesman who has been favored by the
god of fortune. When he appears be-
fore his august master in the ira
ditional attitude OF a slave there will
be many of his enemies to endeavor

words OF self depreciation which he
must utter to conform to court Ell.

The fact Is. NJ. Witte began his act
OF humility while In this country. He

will result in their Indictment for

trust HIGH PRICES
WEALTH SQUEEZED FROM FARM
ERs BY ExToRTION
More Than 100000 TiIlers Of the Soil
Make Less Than 500 Year-Must
Divide With the Tariff-fostered
MonopoIies

THE American farmer is the real
Monte Cristo. The world is his" says
the Washington Post after stating
that the value of the direct earth
products for the present year will far
exceed $5,0O0,O00,0OO. The editor OF
the Post, who cogftates over the
wealth Of the farmer at the SWEETEST
Washington club would find that the
surplus of the average farmer after
paying for necessities, not Injuries,
would not pay for what the book
keeper of the club has him charged
with for one week as simple luxuries.
What Trusts do to Farmers
1t is safe to say that with the
trust high prices which the tariff fost-
ers on agricultural machinery, on gro
ceries, on clothing, on furniture, on
household utensils and about every
thing else the farmer buys, and the
high taxes, which the railroad corpora
tions partly escape, but which the
farmer has to pay, the average farmer
just about makes both ends meet.
That conclusion Is forced upon one
by the figures Of the last census.
which state that in 1899 there were
1888 farmers who after feeding their
live stock had nothing left to sell, 1877,
493 farmers who had less than $50
value of products after feeding their
stock; 305,446 had less than 500, L.
247,195 less than $3.50, 1,6O2,375 less
than $500 and 1,37S,539 less than
$1,000. Those may be called the
average farmers.
Not Many Rich Farmers
But when 1t comes to the rich farm
ers the figures jump the wrong way
as far as the number of Monte Cristo
farmers is concerned, for there were
but S29,142 farmers VINO had value
of product of $1,000 and under $1,000,
and all the remaining Farmers in the
United States, 153,S29 in number, had
$500 and over when the stock had
been fed. Those were the Monte
Cristos, but how few in comparison to
the whole number!
There Is no doubt that the average
farmer would be making a fair profit
