Aside from all questions OF law. the
t~echnicalities and involved procedure
of which the busy man OF Affairs in no
way understands, the decision Of the
supreme court in the rate case will
give a sense Of security to the people
of the state which they have o had
for months. Although the average
citizen has been unable to know on
which side OF this unhappy ltisfi)n
legal right really was. one thing has
been APPARENT to all: the whole 3ralr

demagogy were becoming large and

1t is probable that the inside history
OF this decision, about which there

copy than any other president since

WEALTH BY THE BILLIONS
VALUE OF FARM PRODUCTS FOR
THE YEAR 1907.
The Agricu1turists Have 1t In Their
Power to Curtail the Operations
i of the Trusts.

Farms of the, United States in 1907
will produce more wealth than all the
gold mines ofsthe world have prodnc-
ed in 20 years. CONSERVATIVE. estimates
place the valuegof all farm products at
approximately $4,000, 900, 900, or about
$500, 1000, coo more than their value in
1906. The farmer is the magician, the
alchemist, that makes use OF nature TO
enrich the world. The farmers corn
crops alone average a billion dollars
a year, and all the other cereals an
other billion, with cotton, tobacco, hay
and flax worth another billion, and the
fruits, garden truck and animals few
billions more. Thus it can be seen that
the farmer, produces wealth greater
than taken from it by the miners for
its precious gems and minerals. There
is no other foundation for the wealth
and business of the world other than
the land Men cannot eat gold the
coal Is only useful to him as means
of utilizing what the earth grows;
there is nothing in the mineral world
that will sustain life, or anything that
is necessary unless mortals eat, drink
and wear clothes. When there is
abundance of agricultural productions,
there are prosperous times, and fam
inc when the opposite occurs. The
whole financial fabric, the entire COM
mercial system, is dependent upon the
farmer, and his work.
One billion dollars is an amount be-
yond the comprehension of the aver
age man. The life of an individual is
not sufficiently long to count it cent
by cent should he work ten hours
day, from his tenth year until death.
This is the average value of the corn
crop alone that the farmers of the
United States produce yearly.
One would believe that if only
small portion Of the vast wealth,
which the farmers produce could be
only retained in the agricultural COM
munities, there would be class of
rich men greater than in any CONNER
cial community. Yet statistics show
that for the amount of wealth yearly
produced, the farmers are retainers Of
only small portion of it. The tend
ency is toward concentration of
wealth in great financial centers. 1t is
in these places, and by the control of
this great wealth, that trusts are built
up, and the machinery put in opera
ton that Systematically draws from
the agricultural sections the great
wealth produced. Farmers can, If they
will, bring about a change by SIM
pie adherence to the home trade prin-
ciple; by patronage of local business
institutions instead of the concerns in
the large cities. d. M. CARR.

Foraker's Seryility.

The Evening Journal has never adj
mired Foraker, of Ohio. Very much
TO the contrary. IN his controversy
with the president our sympathies
have been entirely with Roosevelt.
Yet Foraker has displayed courage
which, even in bad cause, attracts
attention and admiration. He GER
tainly fights with his visor down. New
ertheless, he personifies one OF the
rnost vicious elements of modern poll
ties. His intense sectionalism gave
him the nickname of 'Fire-Alarm,'
and he has been mean, rabid and in
yeterate in his attitude towards the
south. For years he has been he re-
preventative of the great corporations
in the United State senate. His
sword is always ready, not only to
smite section of his common coun-
try, but the people of the whole coun-
try at the command of his masters,
