FACTS AND FIGURES
VERSUS CALAMITY HOWLS

One of the most striking exam
pies of calamity lying is found in
the statement of that renowned pull
pit orator. Senator PenrOse, when
he declared that the Democratic tar
iii law had lost to the United States
$77 ,000, 100000 in foreign trade
since the Mexican war began. The
Mexican war has been in progress
about eighteen months. two months
of which was during the Taft admin
istrati0n. Now. the fact is that the
export business of this country has
averaged during the past few years,
including last year. about $1,000
100000 year. So. IL would take
about twenty-five years TO lose the
trade which the Senator says has
been lost. il every dollar of il had
vanished during the period of which
he speaks. The absurdity of the
Penrose statement is apparent to
any intelligent person who stops to
think. but to the unthinking an alb
surdity Is just as good as fact. and
il is To the unthinking that the
Pennsylvania Senator appeals.

PRICE OF WHEAT WILL
NOT FALL VERY MUCH
Despite the Huge CrOp-The
Worlds Crop is About
An Average.

Washington, July 11.-Despite a
wheat crop estimate this year of
$780, 100000 bushels. the largest on
record. no hope is held out by the
Department of Agriculture for great
ly reduced prices. Such large
crop would augur very low prices
according to statement to-day.
were it not that the world crops of
wheat and competing grains do not
promise more than the average of
recent years. Besides, more than
the usual diversion of wheat from
its use as food to the use of feed
for live stock may be expected be-
cause of the present relatively short
supply OF corn in sections where
there is a promise of abundant
wheat.
With corn selling in Kansas for
about seven cents more per bushel
than wheat, it is not surprising. of
ficials say, that much wheat should
be consumed as feed by animals.
Kansas corn crop last year was
only 23,O00,000 bushels compared
with the usual production of 15O,-
100000 bushels. This years esti-
mates are for crop of 10000. 600
bushels of Kansas wheat.
1t is estimated that about A., OOO,-
GOO bushels of wheat of last years
crop was consumed as animal feed.
OF the average annual production
of 6S6,O00,000 bushels of wheat
during the past five years, about
3Sl 100000 were retained in this
country and 105, 100000 bushels en-
ported.

els for seed. and were applied to a
population of $3.50, 900, officials
say it would indicate normal re-
yum 'ihtht VI oAA tV,VUV bushels,
plus seed requirement of 1900, 600,
or total of about 600. 900, 200. The
statement adds that this would indi-
cate an available export supply from
the crop of nearly 100000. 200 bush
els. but there must be deducted
from this amount the quantity used
for live stock feeding, estimated at
approximately 100000 and posi-
bly, more. Even this would leave
about aa.000.000 for export.
Present indications" says the
department. ''are that during the
coming season the domestic con-
will be unusually large on
account of takings for live stock
purposes and that the eXportable
surplus will find good foreign de-
mand."

INCEND|ARY SPEECHES
MADE BY ANARCHISTS
AT Meeting In Memory OF Bomb
Makers Killed By Own
Work.

New YORK, July 11.-Five thOus-
and anarchists and radicals gather
ed in Union Square this afternoon
in memory of their comrades, Ar
thur Caron, Charles Berg and Carl
Hansen, killed last Saturday while
engaged in the manufacture of a
bomb, and listened to some of the
most infiammatory speeches ever
uttered in New York City.
The throng which pressed into
the square bore every mark of an
archy itself. Most of the men and
women wore black bands. striped
with red; red flags waved above
their heads, red banners swung
back and forth above the speakers
stand, red flowers were banked be-
hind the men and women who ha-
rangued the crowd.
Apprehending disorder and school
ed by the lesson of September, 1908,
when bomb was hurled at the close
of similar, though less radical,
demonstration, all the police not ac-
tually engaged for patrol duty had
been ordered to Union Square to-
day. One thousand bluecoats were
on hand.
BY 2 o'clock the narrow space on
Seventeenth street, where the
speeches were to be made. was
damned.
Alexander Berkman, chairman of
the funeral arrangements commit
tee, was the first to mount the i'm
provised speaking stand. Berkman
praised the two as martyrs to the
fight against capital and ended by
saying:
las anarchists We are now ready
to do anything to gain the point We
desire; we do not wish to do the
things that the police and the press
expect us to do, because that would
be too simple.
II predict that the social revolu-
ton will come in the near future,
and when it does come the anar-
chists will be more daring and more
determined than they ever have
been before. We are now ready to
do anything to gain our demands
and to gain our rights"
In closing Berkman proposed
three cheers for the three men who
had been killed by their own bomb.
The call was heartily responded to.
