FARMERS OPPORTUNITY.


No Danger Of 0vex-Produetion of Food
ataffs In This Country. .ai
New York Journal OF Commerce..
No class of producers in this country
have a greater opportunity than the
farmers this year for contributing TO
the eturn OF geneal prosperity. They
have not been suffering from depres-
sion, because there is continuous de-
mand for their products, and many
markets are open to them, while con-
ditons have been such that with fairly
good crops I'M the last two years prices
have been at high<leveL They have
been the one class whose prosperity
has not been seriously interrupted. but
they cannot long continue to prosper,
unless others flourish likewise and are
able to purchase literally of the pro-
ducts of the soil. Nothing II more
counted upon for the recovery OF in
dustrial and commercial activity than
the recurrence of generous CROPS.
The high prices of grain and OF the
animal products that are nourishing on
the farm ought to stimulate an in
crease in the acreage of planting for
all the staple crops this year. There
is no longer any danger of over-pro-
duction of breadstuffs and meat and
dairy products in this country. Ex-
tension of the area of cultivation APP
proaches the limit more and more, and
1t does not keep pace with increase of
population.
The demands Of the domestic market
for consumption advance out of pro-
portion to production and the surplus
for export Is relatively diminishing
while the worlds requirements fE-
crease. The export Of farm products
is still our mainstay for paying for i'm
ported merchandise, and will continue
to be SO while the cost OF manufacture
ing is artificially kept up. for exports
necessarily come into competition with
foreign products of the same kind. We
not only need to extend the area Of
land cultivated for the staple crops but
to improve methods of cultivation and
reduce cost of production so far as
practicable. a

We refer to the 2-eent copper coins

Judge Jones, on bin nIsd by the Lou

order against the Secretary OF state.

decision Of the court in these cases
was predicated on the reason that the
statutes were violative OF the Consti-
tuition Of the state and Of the United
states. The Constitution Of the state.
by giving "all corporations the right
to sue and be sued in all courts in like
cases az natural persons" the State
cannot make any distinction between
them nor forfeit the right Of foreign
corporation to do business here. when
no such penalty follows the removal
OF suit by natural person or do
nestle corporation.
The state cannot forfeit the right Of
one to do business because II removes
suit and leave another free from any
such consequences. This would be a
denial OF the equal protection OF the
laws. and also plain repudiation Of
the policy of the constitutional de-
mand. The State. by Its laws. having
invited the foreign corporation to come
into its borders and DO railroad BUSH
ness here, and It having done 50. the
State thereby waived it's arbitrary
prerogatfve to expel without cause. and
thereafter can only expei for miscon-
duct as prescribed by law. and not at
its mere rhim or pleasure.
TO permit the State to do so. would

James McCrea, president of the Penn

call meeting OF the commission within
the next week or so. to take definite ac-
ton on the proposed uniform per diem
charges to be applied to every railroad in
the United States with the return Of
prosperity some OF the larger railway sys-
TENS are said TO have demanded that the
new uniform rate be decided upon as soon
as possible.
Several years ago the railroads agreed
upon a per diem charge of so cents per
car day When the business depress on
set IN this charge was reduced 20 % cents
day claim Is made that many OF the
smaller roads would rather pay a rental
of % cents a day for freight cars than pur-
chase new equipment and keep it in repair.
For this reason many Of the larger sys-
temse say It is impossible to keep their
equipment on the home line.
Five railroad presidents. representing
the different sections of the country, were
appointed some months ago to agree upon
a uniform charge, and It Is rumored that
the new rate will be S5 cents a day.
