A VICTORY FOR NATURE.

Nothing can be clearer than that the business
men of the country are relying for restoration of
confidence and booming prosperity upon the mighty
wealth represented by the growing crops rather
than on the policies of the present government
Against the shocks to industry and commerce
inflicted by the experimental politicians at Wash
ington the official crop report shows a probable
harvest of winter wheat alone of 530,0O0OOO bush
els, which is 107 100000 bushels more than the crop
gathered last year
Nature and the farmers have been working sue
cessfully to counterfeit the effects of political blum
dering.
Not only have business men gathered private
information confirming the encouraging figures of
the governments crop report but they realize that
there is abundance of capital in the country ready
to stimulate enterprise and industry as as the
Wilson administration will permit return of con-
fdence
The figures showing the operation of the new
tariff law for the first six months reveal falling
off in the national revenues of about $25 0000OO In
tnat short time the importation of foreign manufac-
tured goods into the United States amounted to
100000 more than for the same period in the
previous year, and the expectation of American
manufactured goods to foreign countries fell off 81
per cent.
Nor can it be said that the cost of living in the
United States has been decreased
Yet the bounty of nature and the skill and energy
of the American farmer will probably more than
make up for our temporary losses in industry and
commerce, and, when the national administration
gives the country chance, American capital will
flow again in fertilizing streams over the wted
fields of American production effort
The assertion of sane and reasonable attitude
toward the railways in connection with the natural
aids here mentioned would go still farther toward
bringing about the desired prosperity. There is an
apathy, deny it as we will, which is uncomfortable,
and which not even bumper crops remove, UNI
less those in authority show disposition to get
away from the LaFolette brand of thinking and
speaking Huntington Herald-Dispatch
