The Farmers Profits

The mind refuses to grasp Secretary
Wilson's figures of the value OF farm
produce in 1908. Nor does it help the
city readers comprehension OF the al
most incredible sum of s7,77S, ZOO, 900
to compute that it would pay his rent
at $40 d month for 32,4OO,O0 years,
SAYS the NV York World.
But the farmer has no trouble in
spending his income. Division makes
the total manageable.
There were 5,739,657 farms in the
United states in 1900 and at the rate
of increase then, there are 6,oo7, 800
now. Farms, stock, tools and build
ings we're worth in 1900 $40, 5l4, OOl, 1873;
they are now worth not less than $50,
600, 100000.
Six per cent is about the average
interest on farm mortgages; it is the
rate claimed by the New York Gas
Trust in its suit against the State as a
reasonable return upon investment.
Deduct per cent of $50, 900, 900, 600, or
81, 800, 900, 900 from Mr.. Wilson's 81,
IT'S, 900, 900, and there is left S., 97S, 900,
600 to dividc among 6,SS7, 1888 farmers
for their years work, or 1868 each.
Less than 5000 cash, besides con-
siderable portion of his food and fuel
and smaller proportion OF his light
ing and clothing, is the annual return
of the average American farmer for
his own labor and that of his wife
and children and his hired help.
He has large cash expenditures with
the blacksmith, tool man and seed
man, and for stock. repairs to build
ings. and taxes. He saves a little for
the mortgage. He paid S64 for labor
in 1899; the average is higher now
and The complaint is that he cannot
get enough help, And the benevolent
Government, while not adding cent
to the value of any great staple crop
by its tariff greatly increases the cos
of nearly everything the farmer buys
from boots to binding Irvine.
Collectively the American farmer is
mighty factor in world finance
Singly he is overworked and ill-paid
grossly Disseminated against in legis
lation and not nearly so much in neet
of commissions on social uplift as O.

4CCTSES THAN OF FRAUD.
John G. Gleason Sues HIM for
$780, 900 Counsel Fees.

Thaw by United States Deputy Marshal Gebhard.

United States Circuit Court for the Southern DIS
trct of New York.
Gleason, in the papers, accuses ina" Oh Iduu

effect that he owned interests in his fathers estate

Gleason further alleges that Thaw stated that ne
would be able to arrange With his mother TO have
her pay the bulk of the expenses as gift 10 MN
and chargeable only against his share in her es-
tate.
Thaw objected however. Gleason alleges, TO hav-
ing his mother secure the lawyer, on the grouno
that Gleason should be responsible TO him alone
and agreeing pay much $4,000 and 10 arpl-
trate If the bill was more than that. If he should
prefer do so. BY reason of these representations
by Thaw it alleged Gleason did not secure pay
ment from Mrs. Mary C Thaw. VINO was az thal
time ready he says, to assume responsibility for
the claim.
Thaw retained Gleason chief counsel in july
