LEANING ON A REED.
FOOlishness of Democratic Depend
ence ON Republican Faction.

washington POSt.
Our friends, the democrats, should not
depend too much on the quarrel of the
regulars and the insurgents in the re-
publican camp. Colonel Roosevelt was a
tariff reformeg. but he declared that he
was republican before he was a tariff
reformer. Victor Murdock is an insurgent,
but he is republican before he is an in
surgent. Albert B. Cummins is a pro-
gressive, but he is a republican before he
is a progressive. n'
Mr.. Murdock will follow the lead of
Speaker Cannon before he will enlist under
the banner ofChamp Clark and Mr.. Cum
minis will follow the lead of Senator AL
drich before he will fall into the ranks of
any squad led by Senator Money.
No two public men ever hated each other
with more bitter intensity than Roscoe
Conkling and James @. Blaine It ali grew
out of Conkling practically calling Blaine
thief, and Blaine fetorting that Conk-
ling was turkey cock Their followers
shared the quarrel and were full of the
most virulent animosity toward one an-
other and the breach was greatly widened
when Blaine interposed to defeat the NOM
ination of Grant in 1880 and gave the place
to Garfield.
Conkling might have folded his hands
as thousands expected him to do In Sep.
tember Maine went democratic, and ther
it was that Conhling took command and
restored the battle. Never was there SC
brilliant a campaign in our history, and
when the returns came in 1t was found
that Conkling had elected to the presi
dency a man who was completely undei
the dominion of his bitterest enemy, whom
he hated with the cordiality OF the very
old horned devil himself
If the democrats are depending on tn,
insurgents to elect the sixty-second con
gress they would as well throw up tn,
sponge right now.

CAL OF THE FARM.
Land Cultivation More Profitable
Than City Jobs.
CIeyaland T.eadar


Cleveland Leader.
One great truth which stands out from
all the tangie of fact and error and guess
ing and theorizing on the increased cost
OF living is the comparative immunity of
those who live on farms from the worst
effects Of the rise in market values. Most
of the food they eat is produced, or can
easily be produced, on their own land
They get it, or can get it, at cost price to
the producer. Their shelter is found under
roofs which are theirs. If they own their
farms. If not, the rent is very low, com
PARED with the scale of living in cities and
towns, The need of clothing is less, other
things being equal. in the country than 1t is
in the cities. The temptations to spend
money for many things are much mar
rowed.
On the other hand, the rise In food
staples, the burden of which there is most
bitter complaint in cities and towns, in
creases the farmers chances of profits
from his land and his labor. He makes
money by the changes in values which
cause the loudest grumbling in urban COM
munities, great and small. The food he
consumes is only a very small fraction Of
the quantity which he sells The higher
grain and meats, eggs and poultry, milk
and butter, fruit and vegetables. rise the
greater his harvests are in their market
value.
1t is perfectly clear that however prone
the cities are to exaggerate the rewards Of
agriculture the lot of the farmer. espe-
oally the farmer vino tills his own land
and works his farm. in large part. with
his own hands, is. changing for the better.
II he can make nothing more than a
modest living now, he was certainly worse
off few years ago. If he was able TO
clear fair profit then he can do better
under existing conditions. The economic
changes are much In favor of the land
owner who manages his own farm
Meanwhile, country life is gaining in
other ways. 1t is not so lonely as 1t used
to be. The trolley cars have done much
to increase its soclabIlty and widen its
opportunities for enjoyment The rural
free delivery system has helped greatly In
the same direction. The telephone has
probably been the most important of the
agencies which have made the farm homes
| of America less isolated and hroadened
their contact with the outside world. The
gradual Improvement In country highways
Is also a powerful aid to happier and freer
! living on the farms, and where an auto
mobile can be kept 1t adds to the farmer 8
freedom of movement and diversity OF en-
| joyment
In the light Of these facts all OF which
are beyond dispute, is not the call Of the
country strong enough to lead many strong
and capable men out Of the struggles and
uncertainties and strain OF the cities to
the comparative security Of livelihood and
relative peace and calm of the farms?
