THE oNCE-NoTED AZoTE.

And speaking of great race horses, there
died In ohscurity only a few days since one
of three of the greatest trottng geldings
that the world has ever known-Azot e,
2O424. The two others are Major Delmar,
l.59&4. and The Abbot 2.O3A. Azote was
bred by the late Senator Leland Stanford,
Palo Alto, Cal. He was son of Whips, a
half-bred son of Electioneer, and was con-
sidered of such little account when young
that he was banished TO Vina ranch, where
the California senator kept his running
horses and such others as he did not value
highly as trotters, Here, ii is said, the late
Orrin Hickok found him doing mental

ing. Hckok brought him over the slope in
1874 with the belief that he had in hand
the greatest gclding since the days he held
the reins over the erratic but marvellous
st. Julien, 2.11A Although the big geldng
did fairly well for Hic}<ok that year he was
at last such sad disappointment that he
took him home with the belief that for once
he was mistaken in his Judgment and that
the horse was gutter. There We're others
east and west who believed with Hickok.
And ii came to pass that the gelding
fell into the hands of the king maker
Monroe Salisbury-who the following year
brought the horse east, and what he did to
the fields he steered him up against is still
a happy memory to Srand-circuit goes who
were fortunate enough to back him in his
races.

that he could smother them any part OF
their miles and jog home from the distance
Salisbury was a relentless master. Ii he
made equine kings and queens he could kill
them. and he did-every mothers son and
daughter-and, sad to teil most remorse-

Great Match Proposed.

NEW YORK. April 13.-It is believed
that Major Delmar, 1.59N. the conqueror
of Lou Dillon in the famous gold cup race,
and Sweet Marie, 2.02, one of the two great
est race mares ever developed, will come
together this year in a match race. Such
a meeting would lend an impetus to the
sport and make the trotting season of 1907
q red-letter one.

Weldon Wins Another Program.

John Morgan that spring had been sent
up from New Orleans by sea rat her than

armies, and he had shown good form at
Philadelphia anu elsewhere. In the first
heat Morgan set the pace for a mile and a
quarter, when the mare went up to him and
the two had close fight of it the rest of
the way, the mare winning by half a length

mile and a quarter dash was the other
event of the last days card. Tree horses
started-Echo, Annie and Lizzie W. The
last named was favorite over the field. and
Boyle in the Weldon colors landed her a
clever victor from Echo. Thus Dr. We'll
don won the last days card as we'll as the
first. He started horses in only four events
during the three days and won them all.
The day after the three-day meeting with
only twenty-eight horses as racing material
subscriptions were at once opened for a
permanent Saratoga jockey club. In two
hours all the stock was tahcn. Commodore

interval came Aqueduct, followed in the
last few years by Jamaica and Belmont

Prosperity and the Farmer.

Messrs. Editors:
The prosperity Of the farmer, as well
as of the manufacturer, the iron and
steel masters and all Eothers, depends
upon the demand, which controls and
establishes the price of his pro duct.
This great era of prosperity, now so
much proclaimed, has not reached the
farmer. 1t has seemingly forgotten the
farmer and has dispensed its bounty
upon all other interests far more than
on him. If the price he receives for his
product is an index of his conditi on, it
can be shown he has had many years
of greater prosperity than today or
any year since 1872.
The price of wheat and corn, the
two great staples upon which the pros
perity of the farmer so much depends,
from 1910 to 1870, period of 80 years,
was 81 80 bushel for wheat, and 66
cents for corn. From 1871 to 1896, %
years, wheat averaged 80 cents and
corn 80 cents bushel. For 10 years,
from 1897 to the present day, in which
are included the prosperity years, so
called, wheat averaged 10 cents ana
corn As cents bushel.
The farmer selling his wheat and
corn crop in the Baltimore market to-
day would receive less than one-half
for his wheat and 20cents less bushel
for his corn than 50 years ago, al
though the planter and farmer are
outside of the pale of protection.
While every protected interest of the
nation has advanced the prices of their
products, his remain less than 80 years
ago. In spite of every obstacle, al
though outside of the high wall of pro-
lection, standing singly and alone,
with no cry of protection from the pau
per labor of Europa cry that has
cost this country millions-in spite OF
these draw backs, the farmer has, as
the exhibit of the Agricultural De-
partment shows, been able to lay by a
few dollars each year. But what is the
mite the farmer may have accumulated
curing the year in comparison to the
hundreds, thousands and millions
which are yearly amassed by those
who, as wards of the nation, have for
40 years been prospered and sustained
by a wall of protection of more than
double the tax ever before imposed On
the people?
Is this Onerous and excessive tax
still to continue, or has the Grand Old
Party come to the conclusion that 1t
cannot risk standing pat much longer.
