ONE OF THE FINANCIAL PUZZLES.

The worlds production of gold
was 1925, 900, 600 last year and con-
tinues to climb A hundred years
ago the yield was $12. 900. 600 Eight
years ago it was 1862, 900, 900. The
worlds stock of gold has doubled
since 1898. In recent years the
line of profit in working gold ores
has been lowered from $14 to II
The output is practically SURF TO go
on increasing. 1t is said that this
great yield of gold is the main cause
of The advance in the cost of living.
If this theory is true, the farmer is
indebted to the gold mines for good
returns for all his products. and the
workman is similarly indebted for
enlarged wages. But on the other
side is the larger outgo for neces-
sites. In striking the balance the
advantage is decidedly on the side
of present conditions. Steady en-
ployment at good wages is more
than an offset for living expenses,
which are to some extent adjust
able.
In Mr.. Bryan's famous Chicago
convention speech he said tie
bankers of the world had cornered
gold, and that few of them met
daily in a back room to fix it's price.
He is likely to be the Democratic
candidate again this year. What
has he to say now of the gold supply
and the cost of commodities? The
low price of farm products IL 1896,
and for several years preceding, was
a theme on which he spoke patheti-
calIy. He denounced what he called
a conspiracy to cruelty mankind on
a cross of gold. Now the complaint
IS that gold pours out so freely that
prices, In which it is measured, are
soaring. Another branch of the
subject is a dearth of currency,
with nearly $500, 100000 year in
fresh coming from the mines. But,
after all. these problems are on the
side of plenltude, and no doubt can
be worked out satisfactorily unless
there can be too much of a good
thing like gol1.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

MARKET GARDENS.
Lettuce and Other Products as Grown
on a Large Scale.

Lettuce and Other Products as Grown
on a Large Scale.
A feature Of the recent annual meet
ing of the Massachusetts state board
of agriculture was visit to the mar
ket gardens of Warren w. Rawson in
arlington. The magnitude of the scale
on which this work is being conducted
is a revelation to one coming from the
west. The plant covers some forty
acres of ground. The greenhouses
cover about eight acres. Some of them
inclose half an acre and some are
smaller.
At the present time lettuce is being
grown in these greenhouses to a great
er extent than any other garden plant
1t is certainly novel and pleasing
sight to walk into q greenhouse cover
ing half an acre on a cold day in De-
cember in which are growing in the
most perfect form some $4,000 plants
of lettuce. approaching that stage
which fits them for being marketed
The vigorous and healthy appearance
of the plants formed a picture that
was particularly pleasing. The most
perfect order is observed in planting
them, so that when fully grown the
ground is completely occupied. The
plants are kept entirely free from the
growth Of weeds of any kind Some
three crops of lettuce are grown in
some of these greenhouses in one year,
and also a crop of cucumbers in addi-
ton. In other houses such products
as parsley were being grown. The
visitors were also shown immense
beds in which celery was stored away
for winter use. These beds were COW
cred with protecting roof, which was
elevated two or three feet above the
lettuce, and over these was a light COW
ering of waste litter.
The productive power of land thus
utilized is very great. Just imagine
$4,000 plants growing on half an acre
Of land, When these plants are sold they
fetch so cents to $50 per dozen. ac-
cording to the condition Of the market.
OF course the expense Of growing and
marketing them must be very consid-
cradle. but there can be no question
about the raNrl7ed profit that must
come from growing these products on
a scale SO large. writes Professor Shaw
in New ErG'ard Homestead.

Mr.. FREAR ON INSURANCE LEGIS-
LATION

Mr.. Frear's argument before the
Society of Equity at Eau Claire on
Wednesday UNFOLDING the life-in-
surance legislation of last year is
on the whole very good one. He
points out some of the glaring evils
OF life insurance management, and
the specific efforts of the legislature
to remedy them. He isn't quite
fair however, when he charges that
the companies are leaving Wiscon-
sin because their business hasn't
been profitable here.
After the disclosures made in
New York by the Armstrong COM
mittee, the business of life insur-
ance companies-espee that of
the larger companies off
everywhere. Confidence in the
standing of the companies and the
character of the management was
rudely shaken. But the companies
did relatively as much business in
Wisconsin as they did in .other
states during the year following the
committee disclosures, and if they
withdrew from Wisconsin on that
account, they would have with
drawn also, from all other states.
The new insurance laws are on
trial. We believe the companies
that Withdrew might better have
remained and with those still here
have tested fairly the working OF
the laws. If the laws prove to be
as detrimental to the companies as
the latter allege, they will be
changed. TIE criticism TO be made
Of the life insurance legislation is
that it was apparently crowded
through TO make capital for some of
the politically ambitious men who
happened to have charge of it. If
it prove to be good 1T will not be
because of the superior knowledge,
NOR the purity of motive of those
men, but rather because the proceed
ing work of the Armstrong com
mittee pointed the way to effective
legislation. Madison State Journal
