SAVING THE COUNTRY.

In the m after of saving the country,
Americ an farmers have the politicians
beaten to q frazzle. In q review Of
prevailing political and industrial
conditions, the Inter-Oce an declares
that the salv alton of the country de.
pends upon the industry and intelii.
gence of its citizens.
The nations debt to the American
farmer is tremendous this year. Ac-
cording to the government crop report,
he has raised SO, 600, 900 more bushels
of wheat than he did in 19lI-and even
more tbs the big yield of 1896. he
will pour into the nations granaries
the staggering total of 1896, 900, 900
bushels of corn, or 464 ,O00,0 900 more
than the total crop last year.
1t is the same story with respect to
other grains. A new record for oats
has been Get, according to the govern
ment experts. The figures for barley
and rye show substantial increases.
The tobacco crop for last year will be
exceeded, while the increase in the po-
tsto crop, from the percentage stand
point, is phenomenal.
Thanks to these results of the indus.
try and intelligence of the American
farmer, the nation today feels it's lease
of prosperity heightened. Business
feels that it stands upon frmer bot.
tom, the intelligent wage Garner real
ICES that his earnings are not apt to
be interfered with by the economic con-
vulsions Of which he is so certain to
feel the full force and effect. Every
body breathes more easily.
That is saving the country instead
of talking about it! That is saving the
country in the way it needs to be
saved. The blatant dem agogue, with
his noise and drums, may disturb the
Judgment for the hour. But at last
the moment comes when we realize that,
in the last analysis, the salvation OF
the country rests upon the Intelligent
industry of its citizens, as the pyramid
upon Its base.
These great crop estimates remind
US that there is no politics al fetch that
can bring prosperity. There is no
available legal remedy that can set,
like the magician's wand, the full feast
before every body in the land. Now,
as ever, it is the steady, quiet, un-
interrupted progress of industry, in
all its fields, that brings the tangible
rewards the nation seeks.
That is the simple yet profound
truth. When the nation understand
it as it should, the day of the dema
gogic visionary, with his promises 0
q new heaven and new earth, will
his proposal to create prosperity BY
laws instead of industry, will hav'
passed in these United States.

Moving Big Grain Crop.

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. l7.-Thirteen
million bushels of grain received in 13
business days in Minneapolis was the

records, after railways had reported
in I,543 cars of grain yesterday. The
sustained movement of million bu-

than anything ever totalled so soon

THE GENESIS, CHARACTER

Joe Lee, the negro leader of the
Republican party in Florida, has had
plenty of newspaper nOtOriety in

letters now running in the Pensa-

the Government machinery; for this
is government Of parties, and the
government can therefore, be no better
than the influences which put it in
power and keep it in power. In the
past these influences have been corpor-

privileges from the government and ex-
acted from Government Officials heavy
tribute in return for having financed

Grating smoothly, handling 30 tons of
ore every "a hours. The ore is trans
ported from the m ne to the mill by
gravity tram, the oaded car of ore
hauling up the empty car to the mine.
Two hundred cubic feet Of water per
minute with 1870 feet of head, furnishes
more than ample power to drive the
mill and crusher. 1t is doubtful if a
more thorough, com plete plant, or one
that will admit of mining and milling
as economically can be found in the
state.

ed, while they say that Rory Burke, the
well known Dixie mining man, who has
had charge of the construction of the
mill, is entitled to all the credit.
An elegant bar OF bullion from jim
