pears s statement of the conditions
and pr:>spects of the important crops
of the United States. The method by
which these crop statistics are gath
ered is a good example of the wide
reaching activity and painstaking ef
fort of the government to serve the
people. Three main sources, each in
dependent of the others, furnish the
information and insure the greatest
possible accuracy. First come the
county correspondents, of whom t here
are about -.700, one in each county of
considerable' agricultural importance.
These men, wit h their assistants, form
Ihe best estimate fheycan of the con
ditions in their own fields, and for
ward their conclusions to the state
statistical agent. Next are the town
ship correspondents, of whom there
are from (5 to 15 in each county. These
men send their own independent esti
mates direct to the statistician.
Lastly, there is the special force em
ployed by the statistician himself,
numbering from!.' oto t>oo men, accord
ingl to the agricultural conditions of
the state, and a supplementary body
of special field agents who systemat
ically traverse the producing portions
of the country, procure all the data
possible and analyze the situation.
Information in regard to the final
yield per acre is further obtained front
reports regularly received from a very
large number of individual producers,
<*ach of whom reports for his own
farm only. The whole number of
those who help to make the govern
ment crop reports what they are thus,
reaches the enormous total of 250,000.
The frequency, the attention to details
arid the accuracy of these reports
make them of immense importance.
To the intelligent producer of wheat
(or corn or cotton or live stock th o y
are a "barometer of probable prices,
and a gauge of his income. To the
trader they furnish dcita on which to

i A Philadelphia boy who drank the
contents of a bottle of nitroglycerin
might have met the same fate which,
overtook the dynamite frog that lately
blew up, had not the police interfered.
His name is Kdwin Wright, and be is
just eight years old. lie found the
bottle on it dump and, of course, the
stuff made him deathly sick, reports a
local exchange. A patrol wagon was
summoned and the boy taken to a hos
pital. The crew of the wagton carried
Edwin in their arms to lessen the jolt
ing. for they didn't know what might
happen. At the hospital a stomach
pump w as brought into requisition and
In a short time the dangerous coin
pound was removed and Kdwin sent
liome.
A way of bringing the bigness of the
department store within the realiza
tion of the reader is by reference to
the size of its purchases. One store
in Chicago bought in one bill a stock
of granite kitchen ware which filled
17 cars that were made up into a spe
cial train. Another of these institu
tions bought a trainload of shirt
waists on a single order. Hooks are
handled in quantities which are almost
beyond comprehension. One depart
ment store bought in one invoice 100,-
000 volumes of standard works of fic
tion—and sold them, too! It is not
unusua. for any of these great con
cerns to place a single order for $50,-
000 worth of goods, and often this is
far exceeded.
Mother's love prompted a heroic act
at Kt. Louis the other day. To save
her child from being burned, or from
injury by the fall from a second-story
window, Mrs. Joseph I!. I'osclc stood
with her back to a brick pavement,
aer hce.s on the < dge of the window
ledge, with flames ia her face, and
threw herself backward. Her own
body cushioned the fall of her len
months-old baby, whom she held in her
arms. A moment later she was raised
unconscious from th;' sidewalk. She
suffered a bndly-wrenched. back and
severe interni.l injuries. The baby
was not hurt.
IMPERIALISTIC FORTO RICANS.
Uriiiiikliik Effect of !•'pet' Trmle on
One of the* Island's Muni Im
liortunt Industrie*.
Poor l'orto Rico is again the victim
of injustice. The critics of the repub
lican legislation for tla«- island should
not yet retire from business. If any
of them iiu the proclamation <>f free
trade thought that their occupation
was jjone and that t hey had got to hunt
up other sufferers from imperialist
oppression to weep over. tln \ should
at once realize their mistake anu again
denounce the wicked Foraker law.
It seem.s that the i'orto Kican coffee
industry is threatened. The poor
l'orto Wicans. whose desperctc wrongs
so appealed to'theoretical free traders
in the months when nominal duties
were paid on commerce between the
island and the I'nited-States, find that
the American tariff does not in all re
spects suit their condition. They
wire taught with fervid appeals to the
principles of human liberty by the
opponents of the administration that
un!e-- they had identically ihe same
tariff laws a- we had they w< re being'
enslaved, taxed without representa
tion, exploited and impoverished. Now
they have the same customs duties
and absolute free trade with the conti
nent. and yet they are in trouble. Is if.
because our protective tariff is found
to be a barbarous and stupid system?
l)o these unspoiled children of nature
at their first experience of the evil
show their hatred of it and' protest
against the Chinese wall which shuts
them off from Spain and Kngland and.
South America and makes them, like
ourselves, a prey to the trusts? Not
a bit of it! It is not more free trade
they want, but more protection. The
United States some years ago put cof
fee «.n the free list. With the exten
sion of our tariff laws to i'orto liico,
coffee can be imported there free of
duty, and the Porto Kican planters are
threatened, with the extinction of one
of their staple industries. A> a tem
porary measure merchants have been
forced under threat of boycott to
make nonimportation agreements and
to turn back cargoes of lirazilian cof
fee, much as our ancestors did the tea
ships, though for a different reason.
The Americans objected to taxed tea,
and the Porto lticans desire taxed cof
fee. This measure i~ to be followed
up by an appeal to Washington for a
changed interpretation or early
amendment of the law so as to levy dit
ties on coffee imported from foreign
countries or from the United States.
Free importation of cheap Brazilian
coffees would doubtless be a serious in
jury to the l'orto Kicans, and their in
terests sh' iuid certainly be considered,
lint will our free traders who have
wept so over thvir hardships come to
their rescue now? Granting the re
quest of l'orto Kico would mean anoth
er step in imperialism. It would mean
giving the island once more a tariff dif
ferent from our .own. It would run
counter to all the eternal principles
proclaimed in denunciation of the For
aker act, to the effect that uniform
laws, even though others should be de
clared constitutional by a degenerate
court, were absolutely indispensable
to the liberty of both the I'orto Kicans
and the Americans. The anti-imperial
ists threw fits to secure equality for
the I'orto Kicans, and now that un
grateful people .'iy th°y do not care
h rap for tho principle of equality in
tariff laws any more than in interna'
revenue laws. They want free trade
with the United States when it suits
them, and a tariff when it suits them.
They* have no sympathy with the aca
demic theorists who insist on their in
alienable right to certain laws, not bo
cause they are needed there, but lie
cause we have their, here. Rather, like
sensible people, they say their situa
tion is not like ours, and where our
laws made for out - conditions do not
meet their needs they want different
laws adapted to the island's situation.
That is exactly the imperial position
of the republican party. It has pro
claimed the rigiit and duty of this gov
ernment to solve its island problems
by laws suited to the special require
ments of each island, instead of ex
tending to them, without regard to
appropriateness, laws made for this
continent. —N. V. Tribune.

There is talk now that the demo
crats may nominate Gorman for
president in 1004. Nothing but the
fact that the democracy has often
been guilty of stupidity in the mat
ter of its selections of candidates
would give this story any credence
among sensible persons. The chances
are overwhelmingly against the pre
sumption that the democracy will
commit any such folly, but there is
nothing impossible about it. Gor
man's nomination would divest the
contest of 1 '.>o4 of much interest, but
probably the business people of the
country would be glad to see a can
vass which would be so one-sided
that the result could be foreseen from
the beginning without any possibil
ity of doubt Of course the candi
dacy °f Gorman would make a \c"y
small vote in the country at large.
This would mean that the demo
cratic defeat Would be merely a lit
tle worse than the one they would
be sure to -jet under any candidate.
—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Clt is the opinion of democrats of
excellent judgment that "imperial
ism" was not exhausted as an issue
in the campaign of 1900. The demo
crats were unfortunate that year in
having been anchored to the Paris
treaty by their leader.—Cincinnati
Enquirer (Dcm.).
Bryan has advised the Amal
gamated association to vote as it
strikes. That advice is according to
the old doctr'ue of repudiation which
Mr. ltryan tried to apply to the finan

BRYAN STICKS TO SILVER.
Two Defeat** Have !\ot ClinnjtCMl (be
l*et I'olloy of Ilie C'lieup
Muitey Mimen.
Mr. l'r.van hu.s clearly manifested his
desire thai the people of the I'nited
States shall understand that he i> not
willing to become a party to any at
tempt to shelve the silver question,
Says he.in an article in his Comm oner:
"If the silver question is going to lie
important again, why turn the party
over to the reorganizers and allow
them to aid the republicans in mak'njj
the silver dollar redeemable in gold?"
In the same article occurs thisasser
tion: "Mr. Bryan believes in the prin*
ciples set forth in the Kansas City
platform, and is not willing: to surren
der them in order to win the approval
of those who oppose those principles."
The article from which these ex
cerpts are taken is a witicism of Sen
ator Vest's proposed platform for the
democratic party, whose feature is the
omission if the silver plank. Mr.
lirynn has made it plain that no plat
form without a silver plank will have
his approval. "If the silver question is
going to be important again," he
wrote, hut the context proves that
there was not the doubt in his mind
which 'the "if" would imply if it were
used in its exact sense. "Since." or
"as," would have better expressed Mr.
Bryan's meaning. "Since the silver
quest i' in is to he important again," w as
the thought which he had in mind. It
is a thought that has never left liim
since 1S!)G. It will be with him still in
1004, and he will be still.at the head of
the national democracy. That some of
the democratic state conventions have
recently been studiously refraining
from referring to national issues does
not weaken Mr. Bryan's position in the
least. His leadership of the party in
the nation cannot be imperiled until
another man is put forward as a leader
and the anti-Bryan force s unite to sup
port him, and there are thus far no
indications of any disposition of the
anti-Bryanites to rally around the
standard of a new leader and give him
their undivided support. Albany
Journal.
THE FISHY DEMOCRACY.
I.ncntizlnir Their State I'latformM find
Sli-eriiiß Clear of National
UllCMt iOtlM.
The boldness with which the demo
cratic state conventions steer away
from national questions is marvelous.
It Is true that the Virginia democrats
declare their "unatterable opposition
to criminal trusts and to every illegal
combination of capital," and the "octo
pus will tremble in every tentacle at
that virtuous resolution. All parties
are safe in opposing unalterably crim
inal and illegal things. The real noble
.strength of the Virginia platform lies
in such affirmations as this:
"The Democratic party recognizes, as It
lias done, the great importance- of the
tish ar.d oyster industry of the state of Vir
ginia."
Of the great importance of a sound
currency, of the Philippines, of any
national question whatsoever, the Vir
ginia democrats have nothing to say.
The democratic party doesn't know
what to think yet. "What would he
popular to think? It is hard and too
early to say. The Virginia democrats
will take their opinions meekly from
.he next democratic national conven
tion, when the time comes.
Under the direction of that bluff,
hearty and open statesman. Hon. Ar
thur I'ue Gorman, the Maryland demo
crats sternly shut their eyes and
mouths against national issues, hut
were bold as brass in proclaiming their
devotion to the crab ar.d oyster in
dustries.
The Pennsylvania democrats are now
waiving their banner, so to speak;
"waiving all questions and proposi
tions upon which the people of the na
tion divide into parties." Nonpartisan
-hip is their oyster this year.
The Ohio democrats must begin to
feel that they sinned against demo
cratic etiquette in allowing the fact
to appear in their platform that tliev
had any views as to national policy.
But they are go;ng to".make theircam
paign"on state issues.
There are many severely local dem
ocratic parties at present, but there is
no national democratic party.—X. Y.
Sun.

ETThis dropping of Bryan means
that Bryan is dead so far as the
democratic party is concerned. He
is out of the party forever, and he
must, between now and 1004, organ
ize a party of his own, a party that
will indorse him and the platforms
that were hitih for him to stand
upon.—Springfield Union.
