Many Bloody Battles.

Chicsgo.-Iames A. Patten has made
another killing on the board of trade.
This time it is corn, and on the bear
side of the market, too.
James Wilson, secretary of agriculture.
says that we have raised 2,567 BIC, 900
bushels of corn in the United States this
year, the average being 25.4 bushels and
the quality SAP. lie placed corn in farm
ers' hands at 79,s79, 900 bushels. Last
years crop was 2,66s, ,65i 900 bushels. or
an average of 26.2; the quality was 500
and the amount in farmers hands Nov.
was 7l,l4i, 900 bushels, or 2.7 per cent
of the crop.
While the shortage in corn is of enor-
nous proportions, it is pretty well con-
eentrated in the offices of the Bartlett
Patten house and a few smaller con-
Germs. The entire country was long when
the government report made its appear
ance Monday. The figures, when posted.

anxious to get out, but the offerings were
met with good buying by shorts and a

TARIFF BILL IS A FAILURE
Treasury Must Issue Certificates OF
Indebtedness.

ashington.-Treasury officials who Q
few weeks ago declared that the issue
of certificates of indebtedness was un
likely, and were inclined TO expressions
of felicity upon the then pleasing pros
pect, are constrained to change their
tune. The failure OF the Aidrich-Payns
tariff bill as sufficient revenue pro
ducer means that the administration will
soon be forced to issue certificates OF
Indebtedness, owing to the continued
growth of the treasury deficit and the
steady decline in the working balance
in the treasury.
The Payne-Aldrich tariff law is not
yielding the revenues predicted by its
trainers. There j. deficit for the four
months of this fiscal year of nearly
S24, ,OOO, 900. The total balance in the
general fund Is only SIS 900, 900. OF this
amount only s29,ooO,O0o is actually in
the treasury offices. National banks
hold $4,000, 900, and $4,000, 900 is in
the Philippine Islands.
Consequently, it is not possible for
the government to come to the aid OF
the banks by making more deposits. On
the other hand, it is more likely that
the government will be calling on the
banks for funds. There are now seas
$4,000 per cent. bonds in the treasury
as security for bank circulation.

HISTORY SHOWS THE TRUTH
Republican speilbinders Can Ne
longer Credit Prosperity to
the High Tariff.

President Taft had a good deal to
say In his speech-making torr of the
bounding prosperity OF the west.
Rightly 30. Not only do government
records show stupendOus advances In
western agricultural wealth. but Mr.
TAFT. being ohservant. could see plenty
of evidences at first hand.
There was a time when Republican
sPeilbinders attributed increasing
prosperity 10 the high tariff. But not
noE. Records OF national tariff history
are all against them.
A recent economic writer points out
that. In general terms. all the CONNER
etal panics since the war period have
resulted from high tarir rather than
low tarin. This was certainly so In
1873. and also in ls93-the latter com
Ing during the operation of the Nc
hiniey tariff. about a year and half
before the Wilson law took effect
The VESTS prosperity is in spite OF
high tariff. such as the Aldrich Taft

taken.
That line must be wiped out at some
era or another. that much is certainty,
and I can't see any logical reasons Why
the proper action shouldn't come right
