THE Globe Democrat says that the
Sherman antitrust law is respon-
sible for the breakdown of ''unex-
ampled prosperity" and that that
enactment must be repealed. 1t
has taken my Republican neigh
bors many a long year to make
this discovery. How often have
they pointed with pride to this
same Sherman law, and boosted
that it was the work OF "the party
that does things"-always in be-
half of the dear people. With this
law to restrain predatory wealth
and Protection to fill the wage
workers dinner-pails, everything
must be and remain lovely until
the crack of doom. If a Democrat
ic administration was running the
government the explanation of the
present stringency and the proba-
bly, resultant hard times would be
easy for my Republican neighbors;
as it is, they are having a Hades
of a time in placing the cause.

FRENCH POTATO EXPORTS.
Carefully Crown Tubcrs Shipped te
Many COuntriea.

Observation-Disclosures D. 3. Mason OF
Paris. furnishes the following illus
tratlon OF the growing OF potatoes in
France for export as suggestion for
American agricultural enterprise:
Ii has been reported by the French
Ministry OF Agriculture, that potatoes
to the value OF S1.a52.ooo were shipped
from France to southampton in 1906.
while the corresponding shipments In
1903 amounted to 3l.3s7,4.4. The slight
decrease is accounted for by dry
season In France and large shipments
from New Zealand. An far as can he
judged at present the results for 1907
are likely to be exceedingly satisfac-
tory. as numerous and large shipments
exceeding those of former years at
the same time--ilaye already been re-
ported.
It Is true that tho district about st.
Malo. which produces the greater part
OF the French potatoes which are ex-
ported to England. enjoys good si,ip-
ping facilities and cheap freight rates
to southampton but this export trade
Is also largely due 10 good methods
OF cultivation and the skiIful manner
in which the crop Is collected and cx-
ported. Good methods of cultivation
and expectation are shown by the
IactS thnt french potatoes are ex-
ported to such distant countries as
South Africa and the Argentine Re
public and that this lucrative trade
is increasing.
II is claimed by French agricultural
experts that the trade with non
European countries could be largely
Increased by raising varieties OF potn-
toes which can best stand transporta-
tion and by more careful packing. The
fact that French, and New Zealand
potatoes can be sold probably In
Southampton and that. in spite OF tn.
high price OF land In France, French
potatoes are sold in Buenos Ayres and
oouth Africa should prove an incentive
TO Americans to make the most of their
natural advantages by employing the
best varieties of seed and the best
methods of cultivation. and whenever
sufficiently low freight rates can be
obtained to render the expectation OF
American potatoes profitable to make
the most of the opportunity.

CATTLE-Receipts OF cattle were HDeIal
again this morning, but there was the
same old complaint about the late arrival
OF trains. When the market opened about
half of the receipts were still back, and
it was afternoon before they were all In
the yards. This of itself was sufficient TO
make slow market, but the unfavorable
adYices from other selling points con-
tributed still further TO the same end.
Beef steers were very slow and late In
opening. Buyers seemed disposed TO go
very slow and cautious until they were
better informed as to the conditions pre-
Vailing at other market points. The result
was that the morning was well advanced
before anything OF consequence was done
Ia the beef line. When the market did
open 1t was slow and dull Some Of the
best cattle that buyers just happened to
want sold in about the same notches as
yesterday, but aside from that prices were
anywhere from weak to lower.
Cows and heifers were in better demand
than steers and sold more freely, the mar
ket on desirable stun at least being steady
with yesterday,
and while there did not appear to be any
very urgent demand from the country
SPECTATORS were free buyers at fully steady
