Peoria, ILL.,, Sept. 1S.--After all it
has remained for the Illinois farmer to
discover and put into execution the
greatest get-rich- quick scheme of the
times; he has put his once small saw
ings into raising bumper corn crops,
and his investment last year paid him
145,000,000. 1t represents 3S2,752, 900
bushels. This year again a crop adj
,vanced almost out of danger of frost
damage promises to make an equally
brilliant showing.
The final government crop report is
expected to indicate a corn crop for
Illinois of 100000 900 bushels, and, as
last years crop was worth as much as
the combined crops of grain raised by
any other state, the supremacy in
corn production is likely to rest with
Illinois another year at least.
Like Money in Bank.
A holding disposition among farm
ers has been found to be very effica-
cious in adding to profits in the last
few years. In fact, where ten years
ago the average farmer was satisfied
with % cents to 80 cents a busheI for
his corn, he now calmly holds his
product off the market when prices
do not suit his ideas, and as result
has developed a great fondness for 35
cents to 40 cents.
AS a representative Illinois raiser put
it to a Chicago board of trade man
the other day: 1.-THE average farm
er in this section considers corn in the
crib as good as money in the bank; he
always has a ready sale for it, and
prevents a glutted market by selling
judiciously; and crib does not fail,
as banks sometimes do"
Ride in Autos.
This complete change in the grain
cast, so that the distributors and the
big consumers, like glucose interests,
come to the farmer, and not he to
them, has made for unbounded pros
perity in Illinois. This, in conjunc-
ton with natures smiles has meant
the extinction of the old man. eating

that the farmer has more money in

which M. Menier started on the is
land, but this year has proved a fail
ure owing to the scarcity of the lob
sters. The catch was less than half
what it was last year, the output being
only 1,40O cases of four dozen pound
tins each. su.
M Menier is wealthy enough to
stand these losses, but according to
reports from Quebec he is rapidly los-
ing interest in his island, and may dis
pose of it soon. 1t is a strange fact
that though many others before M.
Menier endeavored to run the island
on paying basis, their efforts have
always resulted in failure.

More Than Europe.
The banner crop of Illinois last year,
in spite of the fact that the entire
country raised a record total, averaged
the farmer nearly 3S cents a bushel.
The production of the state was So
100000 bushels larger than that of all
Europe last year, and 7S,000,000 BUSH
els larger than that of the nearest
American competitor, Iowa. The
money value was nearly as large as
the combined wheat, corn, oat, rye,
barley and hay crops of either Iowa
or Kansas.
The entire value of grain and feed
crops in Illinois was near the $780,
100000 mark The immense corn
crop of the state this year, if it main
tains its present promise, would fill a
train of $4,000 cars, reaching about
1000 miles
On top of the regular well known
demands on the corn crop from feed
er, distiller, glucose maker and Eu-
ropean buyer is coming free denatur-
ed alcohol. which is likely to use a
large amount of corn. gsa
The growth in the production of
corn in Illinois has been over 800 per
cent since 1860 and about 20 per cent
since 1880. And the gain to the state
and country has been correspondingly
great in both trade and resources.

THE Idr Dodger, established by
Mr.. Terrence O'Bryan, through
which he expects to "even up"
with the assessor for having ms.
sessed him with a portion Of bis
wealth, upon which he has so far
escaped paying taxes, charges the
assessor with incomptency, be.
cause the court rendered a decision
adverse to the county on the point
that the back tax book does not
comply with what the law directs.
If Mr.. O'Bryau had taken the
trouble to look at Mr.. Wicker
sham's blank he would have found
the property assessed in way
that would stand in any court.
After it had left the assessor the
assessment passed through the
hands Of the board of supervisors
and several other officials. We
presume they are also incompetent,

why Mr.. O'Bryan's organ is so
very anxious to have it understood
that the fire set in the GUARDIAN
Office last week originated with the

that night know, that even though
the lamp had been left burning, it
was an impossibility for the fire to

THIS WILL FOLLOW

Last weeks Bulletin says it is in
cliued to think that the fire which
occurred IN the GUARDIAN Office or
Tuesday night of last week was MOI
of incendiary origin but was spon
taueous combustion, caused by one
of the GUARDIANS red hot editor
ials on the question Of the wealthy
OF this county being able to COM
pei their poor neigbbors to pay
their taxes for them. There may
be something in this theory, but
we would rather burn up, with the
knowledge that we had done our
duty to the people we represent,
than to die Of dry rot on public
questions of such vital importance.
The public press, as combined
factor, has the power to mould
public opinion and force reforms,
and the Lord knows Graham
county stands badly in need of
them on The question of taxation,
vet the GUARDIAN is the only
paper in the county that has made
genuine attempt to point out the
way and secure the necessary re.
forms to compel the wealthy cor
porations and individuals TO pay
taxes proportionately with poorer
people. In fact, some of the
papers, in order 10 protect their
wealthy masters, have made mis-.
representation upon misrepresenta'
tion regarding the matter of taxa.
tion.
1t seems to us that 1t is about
time for the press to awaken to the
necessities Of the public and then
advocate them honestly and fairly.
With a united press advocating the
necessary reforms for better gov.
ernment no official will dare do
aught but his plain duty.
Through the GUARDIANS efforts,
single handed, the people have
been made fully acquainted with
the manner in which they have
been imposed upon in the matter
of paying taxes, aud when public
sentiment is once formed, in the
right direction, the paper or official
that dares attempt to thwart that
desire, for the purpose Of serving
a greedy master, will find him or
itself crushed beneath the righteous
iutlignation Of au aroused people.

good time, but a profitable season
not only for the good of those I'M,

En- route to Utah, Mr.. Kimba
