The Cron,.

The September crop report may be
taken as the ultimate analysis of the
harvest. We get to know pretty well
what to expect In some sections of
the country the frost of the last few
days has done quite bit of damage.
The truck garden at the Presidents
summer house in New Hampshire is
not the only one that has suffered
But as this concerns table luxuries
rather than the necessaries, all of
which were matured before this pre-
mature chill, the farmers face little,
if any, permanent loss.
On the whole, the crop report is
gratifying. Cotton, which was report
ed on before the other crops were,
is not large crop. 1t is very much
smaller than that of two years ago,
yet it is likely TO be over 100000
bales, and that is not small crop.
The only item that is unsatisfactory is
corn, which promises the smallest crop
in ten years. But it Immediately fol-
lows the largest crop ever gathered.
The average of the years crop is now
estimated with that OF last year at
2,737yoooyooo bushels for each year. That
average was exceeded only three times
in the nine years preceding last year.
A substantial part of last years rec
ord-breaking crop was brought over,
and, taking the two years together, it
cannot be said that there is a de-
fciency.
The estimated wheat crop is 754,-
100000 bushels, and as this is 100000
bushels more than the estimate of
month ago, we may hope for a still
larger yield when the final figures come
in. This crop is not only the largest
crop by 100000 bushels but the only
other crops that have reached 10000
900 bushels were those of 1901, 1906,
and of last year. The present pros
pect is for 100000 bushels more than
last year. The oats yield will be
good deal under that OF last year.
Potatoes promise 95.oooooo bushels
less than last year, when all records
were broken; but 100000 bushels
more than two years ago. Hay is be-
low that of last year, but it is a good
deal more than the crop of two years
ago.
AS to the financial results: Wheat
perhaps is a basis OF national credit
the world over, quite as much as corn,
and this year We have more Of that
staple than was ever gathered before
in a single harvest. By the way, this
record crop shows that even experts
may go wrong sometimes, for it had
been predicted last year that this coun-
try had reached its maximum in wheat
production. We shall have plenty of
the staff of life" at any rate, and
there is no reason why VIC should not
go on increasing our wheat produc-
ton, having still millions of unculti-
waited acreage

Democratic Discipline.

If there should be a turn in the tide
the Democrats cannot reproach them
selves for having exhibited to the
country the usual spectacle of an TN
disciplined organization.
Nothing could exceed the consoli-
dation which the Democrats have ex-
hibited as a party in the Senate and
the House. In the past the party
seemed to have no leaders and to lack
cohcrency. Today it has both. The
tariff bill went through the House ac-
cording TO the program, and now the
currency bill is about to be passed.
in pursuance to the will of the caucus
and with all opposition practically
sGHed. In the Senate there was not
single detection when the tariff bill
was voted upon, except in the cases OF
the two Louisiana Senators and their
negative votes on account of the free
sugar clause had been discounted from
the first. Then when the Senators
wanted to postpone action on the cur
rency legislation, on the ground that
they were weary with long service,
President Wilson demanded action
and he will have his way. 1t is worth
while to emphasize this discipline in
the Democratic party because it has
been a rare characteristic in the past.
The fact that the party in Congress
is apparently united on the tariff and
the currency does not mean, of course,
that the country viii finally approve
the legislation which has been or is to
be enacted. That is a matter for the
future to determine Whatever hap
pens, however, the Democrats have
demonstrated that they can stand to-
gether, and when they have done this
they certainly ought to be given all
the credit which they deserve.
The Washington herald., 1913-09-14

as certain of defeat as the Democrats
were of victory.
Many analyses of the vote have been
made with especial emphasis upon the
fact that the regular Republican vote
increased 100 per cent as compared
with last fall while the Progressive
vote decreased in like proportion No
one has yet pointed out however, that
the and-Democrahc vote was the larg-
est ever cast in the district In pre-
vious elections the Republican strength
has been as high as 10000 but last
Monday aI.ooo votes, Republican and
Progressive, were cast This Is the
one important fact which has given en-
couragement to the Republicans. They
believe that already there Is rrpudia-
ton Of the low tariff schedules which
the Democrats are about TO enact inte
law. Whether there is foundation for
this belief remains to be seen, be-
cause it may not be accurate to judge
the sentiment of the whole country by
one district in Maine. There Is no
doubt, however, that in that district
the tariff was the supreme issue. The
literature sent into the district related
to the tariff and the speakers had no
other topic. Living in a border State,
the Maine farmers and manufacturers
come into direct competition with
their Canadian rivals and they were
able to judge for themselves as to
the effect which that competition
would have upon their personal in
tereSts.

glittering generalities which have no
substance Mr. Murdoci, with much
direetness makes the position Of his
party so plan that he who runs may
read: Thus we find that the Pro-
gressives believe In the right Of the
people to remove from Office before

conditions of competition at home and
abroad Cor the manufacturer, for labor
and for the farmer; and In an elastic
currency, conserving the rights of the

the few.
These are things which are, at least,
within the understanding of a reason
able intelligence. The brevity and
terseness with which they arc set
forth are in happy contrast to most of
the Progressive oratory. 1t is some
contribution to human knowledge to
make clear the results which the Pro-
gressive party is trying to achieve.

Other Elections to Follow.

Attention will now be riveted upon
four other Congressional elections
which are soon to occur.
There is vacancy in the First West
Virginia district, occasiohed by the
appointment of Representative Davis
to be Solicitor General; in the Twen-
tieth New York district, due to the
transfer of Representative Harrison to
the Philippines; and in the Third
Maryland district on account OF the
death of Representative KONG, while
the recent death of Representative
Wilder makes vacancy in the Third
district of Massachusetts. Mr.. Har-
rison's district is invariably DEM
ocratic, being in New York City, but
there is enough uncertainty regarding
the other two to make them good
fighting ground. Five or six years
ago Representative Davis district was
reliably Republican by 5000 or 1000
majority. In 1912 Mr.. Davis was
elected over i competitor who styled
himself a Republican Progressive by
the narrow margin of I34 votes.
Wheeling is the principal city in the
district and throughout all the counties
the manufacturing industries are nu-
merouS, including paper mills, glass
factories, potteries, iron and steel
foundries, &c. There is also 4 large
trade in wool. All these items are Sc
riously affected by the tariff and for
this reason the Republicans expect to
carry the district 1t is also true that
the Third Maryland district was for
merly Republican, but whether it will
return TO its old allegiance is uncer-
tain.
The effect OF the Maine election in
inspiring confidence in the Republican
ranks has been so marked, however,
that every effort will be made to elect
Republican successors to Mr.. Davis
and Mr.. Konig. The election in West
Virginia will be held on October Il,
so that if a Republican victory is
achieved there will be ample time to
exploit the fact for its effect on State
elections in November.

The Election in Maine.

r There is still much talk over the
election of a Republican Congressman
in Maine.
The result took the Democrats by
surprise 1t is true that they realized
that they were not destined to win BY
default because they sent Speaker
Clark, Secretary Bryan, and many
other prominent orators into the dis
trict, At the same time, the division
in the Republican party last fall was
so marked, the straight-out Republican
vote was so small, and the Democratic
vote was so large, that it did not seem
possible that conditions would radi-
cally change in the brief space of a
few months. The Republicans also
sent literature and speakers into the
district. with an e!eventh-hour show
of activity, but they really believed
that they were engaged in battling
Tor forlorn hope. They were almost
