THE ISLAND CONTINENT.

With total white population of
less than four millions. Australia is
making a remarkable showing of de-
velopment along all lines of productive
activity. Her total annual production,
agricultural, animal. mineral and
manufacturing now amounts to $780,

export and import trade Is nearly
$3.50, 100000 per annum, or nearly
1920 per capita of the population.
portant branch of the agricultural in
dustry. Along the lines of tropical
agricultural activity there is room for
almost endless growth, the northern
part of the island continent having
millions of acres of land suitable for
tropical production. Great hopes are
entertained of pushing the country to
the front as producer of cotton.
Australia has had it's ups and downs
in business, having passed several
years ago, through a prolonged and
disastrous banking panic, and 1T has,
besides, been shaken by labor troubles,
inevitable In country where prac-
teal socialism has taken firm hold
on legislation. But, despite all set
backs, the Australians are thriving,
and the marvellous extent of the coun

mate optimism and makes the heavy

WASTE ON. THE FARM.
From authoritative reports by gov
eminent officials it appears that some
2.6S7,021 cattle die in the United
States annually from disease and ex-
posure-most of them from neglect.
From the same source it is also ascer
tanned that the loss of sheep from the
same causes is as great. These figures
only serve to show what a wasteful
people We are. One of the excuses
of provisions is the enormous death
rate of live stock on the range and
on the farm, most of it due to pure
trifiingness of the herdsmen and the
grazier. Indeed, the losses by neglect
and exposure greatly exceed the losses
by disease.
1t would be impossible to estimate
the waste of farm products after they
mature IN the field; but 1t is enormous,
some of it due to scarcity of labor,
but most of it traceable to thriftless
husbandry. or, in plain speech,
downright laziness. One source of
waste is imperfect cultivation, for mil
lions of farmers persist in half Guilt
walton of large areas when they would
make more by proper tillage OF fewer
acres. Then there is immense waste in
the disregard of intelligent rotation of
crops. This is the worst sort of waste,
lor IT means devastation of soils that
requires years of provident tillage to
replace. All over the east are aban-
doned farms that would today be
gardens If they had been given inte1li-
gent cultivation. That farmer is not

crease the fertility of his soil every

Chicagoans are estimating that Dur
ing the five days of the Republican
national convention the visitors t. that
city expended $1,000. 900 in cash, and that
$3.50, 900 of this Is clear profit. The esti-
mate as to the amount of money spent
is probably correct but the one as to
profits is something on the dream or
der. Since when have Chicagoans been
content with accepting profit of 121a
per cent on anything. They're never
satisfied with less than 40 or 80 per
cent and the profits of the convention
were probably nearer $1,000 DOC than d
paltry $3.50. 900.

Men complain of having to sew on

As a rule, the one who makes the
most money in the family, spends the

There are SO many fools in the

Very nice milliners often tell a wo-

A girl might as well be retired in a
convent as to have younger sister

for being younger than she claims, is
to say she is over a. hundred.
While each player can place. the
blame when his team loses, you will
observe that he never places it on
himself.
The better positions a man boasts
he could have if he. wanted them,
never seem to materialize when he is
out of work.
The man who insists upon carrying
a revolver, which is dangerous, often
insists on carrying a skinful of whisky,
which is more so.
1t makes no difference whether a
man is very rich or very poor, his kin
quarrel about him. If poor, it is be-
cause they have to support him, and,
If rich, it is over who will get his
money.

One reason why the Republican
party is 40 hard to defeat in a ma
tional campaisn is because there are
so many men In it Just like Joseph B.
Foraker. They fight each other tooth
and nail on questions Of principles but
they seldom engage in the bitter per-
sonalities which make men lasting en-
emies. And then when the fight is
over, whether they win or lose, they
all Join hands and work with a will

who are the most direct benefciaries
OF the protective system That
sounds well. but can hardly deceive
the average workingman. who, from
experience, knows that If he Is Dthe
most direct beneficiary Of the pro
tectiye system" the sooner that sys-
tenn il reformed the better it will be
for him. There is no doubt that the
tariff protects the manufacturers and
that It has fostered trusts and created
monopoly. We also have evidence
that the tariff has had hand in
creating the panic and the resulting
business depression.
Senator Foraker has just declared
in speech to the members OF the
Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce that
there is still cloud hanging over
the business Of the country that can
not be removed by the resolutions OF
a Sunshine Club" and that the fear
OF tariff reform makes business gem

many uneasy workingmen, for Sena.

agencies of Cincinnati now informed
him that there are today in Cincln-
natl from 10000 70 $4,000 idle arti-
sans-men who work at trades, skin
ed labor, and the highest classes OF
labor, so to speak.
This acHnowledg cement by such an
eminent Republican leader that the
wage earners are hunting a Job in

SHOWS that they ARE the most direct
benefciaries of the protective sys-
tenn" II they are It shows that the
protective system is a delusion as far
as wage earners are concerned.
\ We hear from Pittsburg. the head
center Of the protective system, that
the employees OF the steel trust are
compelled TO sell their small holdings
in that corporation. which does not
AID to the truth OF the Republican
declaration that those workingmen
are the direct benehciaries OF the pro-
tectiye system, for the steel trust is
very highly protected by the tariff.
Then The National Glass Budget OF
Pittsburg Of June 81, reports a dis
astrous state OF affairs for the window
glass workers, which is one OF the
highest tariff protected industries in
which the workers should be the
most direct benehciaries Of the pro
tective system" But II appears they
are not. for The Budget reports that
when wages are figured strictly on
the sliding scale. under which agree
ment the factories and their workmen
have been working, that II won't net
them an average Of 81 day for their
labor"
