Activity in BuiIdinu rrades.

In July the effect Of that outlay Of
new capital became apparent. The
building trades began to show I'm.
provement, and by September the
amount expended in suca work ex-
ceeded that Of any month in the year
and that Of the preceding September.
Reports to Eradstreet's from sixty.
seven cities showed that In them SAL.
100000 had been spent in one month
in building operations. That report
did not include money spent in exten.
sion of railroads and new equipment
or improvements. Already railroads
are discussing the project of spending
O0.0OO,O0O a year in the extension
of railroads. President Yoalzum; Of
the Rock Island, estimated recently
that as $4,000 miles had been addeI
TO the total mileage in ten years an
additional $4,000 in the next ten years
would not meet the increasing de-
manls Of the country.
With the financial stringeacy of last
October 1t was apparent that there
had been an overproductlon, but the
retrenchment of several months and
the revlving Of building operations and
the promotion of new projects began
in July to convince manufacturers that
there would be new demand within
short time. They began to prepare

increase In Exporta.

On the export side, natural products.
such as corn; wheat, meats, leaf tobac.
co and other articles OF this class show
in many cases an advance in price
over the corresponding month Of last
year. and in few cases any material
fall. though in manufactures the ex.
port prices are in nearly all cases be-
low those of the corresponding period
81 last year.
Corn exports in August 1908, aver
age S2.6 cents per bushel. against e1.3
cents in August 1907; wheat, S1.o1 per
bushel in August, 1908, against 90
cents in August, 1907: meats show in
some cases slight advance over pric.
es of August Of last year and in 9th.
ers slight declines.
WHAT the increase in building and
manufacturing and the harvesting Of
the crops meant to the country is
shown by the increase in bank depos.
its. In Kansas, for example, on Sep.
TENDER |. the state banks showed a
greater total than ever in the States
history. In the eighty previous days
stfle deposits mad jumped at d rate Of
100000 a day The total deposits In
the State banks on September / were
more than sss,OOo,oOO. In Seattle,
Washington, the banks gained almost
.$3.oOo,0OO between May 1 and the mid.
die of September.
Many other factories are held in
check for the present, pending the re.
suit of the November election. Bust.
ness enterprises promise to show re-
markable development If Taft is chos.

With a spade Tor other convenient

depth ordinarily reached by the plow,
from half a dozen points distributed
uniformly over each acre to be tested.
Throw the soil (blocks) 50 removed

any Jumps with the shovel. Then
spread out the pile into low, fiat,

this spread out mass of soil into four
quarters Gust as a pie would be cut

diagonally opposite quarters aside,
mix the two remaining quarters by
shoyeling over and over as before.
Continue the mixing and quarterlng

HUMAN INHUMANITY

~ AVS the New York Herald: "a
~ Georgia magistrate has fixed the
~ weight limit of a mules load, but
the maximum tote Of the white mans
burden has not yet been defined" The
reason for this is that man has more
consideration for the so-called lower
animals than he has for his own spe-
cies. Mans inhumanity to man makes
countless thousands mourn. He has
societies for the prevention of cruelty
to animals, but none for the preven-
tion of cruelty to human beings. A
humane officer will interfere to save an
overworked and underfed horse from
the tyranny of it's owner, but no official
in the United States can interfere to
save an overworked and underfed man
from the tyranny Of his owner. The
ownership of human beings is as much
a characteristic of society as ever it
was. We do not call the owned per-
sons slaves, but they are certainly not
freemen. Their freedom is measured
by the length Of their purse. If the
purse is short, there Is not much free
dom. AS the brutally frank old song
says, the inspiring motto down to which
most human beings must live is Root,
hog or die"
Perhaps the day will come when men
will really own themselves-that is to
say, own the work they do, own their
job, own their place in the world. But
and, for lack of organization, for lack
of proper regard for the rights of man,
human beings continue to suffer, draw
ing their only consolation from the hope
that perhaps ''manana" the world may
be better. Meanwhile: "A Georgia
magistrate has fixed the weight limit
of a mules load, but the maximum
tote of the white mans burden has not
yet been definedl"
Los Angeles herald., 1908-11-10
Increase in Printed Matter
Sent Has Followed NeW Rate

TT was anticipated by most students
of the subject that the reduction
Il of the postage of letters between
this country and Great Britain from
cents to 2 cents would result in an I'M
mediate and large increase of CORE
spondence. 1t is stated that thus tar
there has been no important increase OF
letter mail, although there has been
marked increase in the amount OF
printed matter handled on which there
has been no change. in the rate OF
postage. Probably there will be none,
as the rate to all foreign countries
within the postal union on printed mat
ter, except newspapers, is the same as
the domestic rate-1 cent for every two
ounces, says the San Francisco Chron-
icle.
While the reduction in letter postage
to cents will in time considerably In
crease the amount of first class matter,
there will be no such phenomenal IN
crease as would probably result from
the same reduction between the United
States and Italy or any other country
now sending us immigrants in great
numbers. AS between this country and
Great Britain, any large increase must
come from business mail, and large in
creases of such mail can occur only
when business houses in one country
endeavor to place themselves in direct
communication with consumers in an
other. It is mail order business, and
circulars about books, stocks and other
