al course of trade,
and adapt the supply of manufac
tured products to probable demands;
but no man is shrewd enough to fore
see the long drought which may burn
up the harvests of whole states, or the
cold rains which may make the work
of the farmer futile. Last year the
chief corn-growing states were smit
ten with drought which lasted from
early in July till : »e in August. The
result was a falling-off of more than
half a million buslicis in thecrop. This
year, according to the Youth's Com
panion. the conditions indicate the
largest crop ever harvested. The acre
age planted with corn has been con
siderably larger than it was last year;
and the harvest promises to be greater
by at least 1.000,000,(M)0 bushels. Last
year an exceptionally heavy -wheat
crop partly offset the disappointment
in the corn harvest. This year the acre
age of wheat is smaller than last, and
some injury was done by early drought
to winter wheat in the northwest. The
total yield may fall J00,000,000 bushels
under last year's, but it will be larger
than has been harvested in any save
two or three exceptional years. The
harvest of oats promises to be the
largest on record, and the yield of bar
lev will be far above the average.
These are cheering conditions; for
when the farmer smiles over abund
ant- crops, all the rest of us, city-folk
as well as country-folk, smile with
him.

er who was taking the first- vacation
from his business he had allowed him
self since IST I. During those years he
had amassed a considerable fortune,
but at the same time had completely
blighted his ability to enjoy the wealth
he had gathered. He had become such
a slave to money that it ran through

harsh, guttural, grating voice. lie

had now left him. and cared for him
only to the extent of the money they

constant grinding at his grind

SUGGESTIONS FOR DEMOCRATS
Some rhliiKH Tlinl >in> ll<> Overlooked
or Nut Known l>> i lampftlfttii
It ccoiii 111 «• 11 ilrrx.
Tlie democratic managers have an
nounced that, they will have a speaking
canipaign> of the old-fashioned kind
indue season. ll)oubt less the orators
are now practicing their pieces, well
aware that, they must be more circum
spect than usual. If the leaders are
prudent they will have the speakers
before them for rehearsal. if they
talk along the line of the state plat
form no allusion can be made to the
record and purposes of the democratic
party the past six years. If they ig
nore the state platform and'accept the
statement of Secretary Edwards, of
the democratic congressional commit
tee. the faithful will be edified by al
lusions to the Kansas City platform
as the last expression of democratic
fiait h. He is a hopeless Iy -1 lipid demo
crat ic orator who does not now realize
that ! here are two w ings to I lie demo
crat ic party, or. more correctly, two
democratic jrtirties. which arc as far
apart as the poles. The Cleveland-
Hill democracy is the most distinctive
Wall-street political organization the
country afford.-', while the ISryan
democracy descibes all of the heresies
of populism, says the Indianapolis
Journal.
It w ill lie said that none of these dif
ferences which divide the party need
be discussed in the campaign'. That
is, the democratic party ha- come to
a place where it is not politic to dis
cuss that portion of its past that is
not older than an.\ voting d'cmocrat.
In other words, the speaker must not
talk of democratic principles since the
days of Andrew Jackson. un!c-s the
risk of controversy as to what con
stitutes democratic principles shall
be assumed by the orator. Still, a
party which declares that its tradi
tions are as old as the constitution
cannot go before an audience and be
silent as to that long record. Neither
can an orator trace these principles
down to the administration of Martin
Van I'uren and stop there with tlieob
servation that the democratic record
from IMO tolstis is of no consequence,
.and that since 1892 the democratic par
ty has had two sets of principles which
have the same affinity for each other
that cats and dogs have in a state of na
ture. The half-sensible democratic
orator must realize that he must say
something of ilie record of the demo
cratic party since 1892; he must know
that many democrats now desire to
know whether the democracy of Cleve
land, or Bryan is to dominate in the
future. No man will be a convert to
democracy unless he knows to which
of these two wirie-apart factions and
views he will be consigned.
In view of these weighty embarrass
ments, the Journal offers two or three
suggestions that may simplify the
situation. First, wjien the democratic
orator faces his democratic audience
let him begin with the statement, that
the democratic party is now divided
between two sets of iiTeas. Let him
say: "1 wish to suit my audience, and
to that end 1 have two speeches, out
fitted to the Bryan platform aiul the
other to the Cleveland platform. 1
propose to advocate the platform
wiiieh the majority of this audience
favors. To determine the majority.
I will take a vote. Those who desire
the Kryaji brand, please rise." Hav
ing counted the democrats who would
continue to hail Bryan as "the peer
lets leader" and his platform as the
genuine democracy, let him call upon
those who prefer the Cleveland brand
of democratic principles. Having as
certained which faction is the larger,
let him advocate the it pre
fers. In the event that the two fac
tions are so equally divided that he is
in doubt as to which is the larger,
let him make both speeches. It may
be a trifle tedious, unless one faction,
following the example of both Mr.
Cleveland and Mr. Bryan, applies epi
thets to each other. This would give
interest to a meeting that otherwise
would be still—still as a llfll demo
crat in IS9<5. If the orator fears to put
the vote, as suggested, he can say that
" just now there is a doubt as to wheth
er the principles of David li. Hill or
those of William J. Bryan are flic genu
ine ones; therefore, until the ques
tion shall be decided, I will proceed
upon the theory that the democratic
party has no principles." The adop
tion of either of these suggestions,
if previously announced, will bring out
large audiences where otherwise the
meetings would he small, and general
ly will give the feature of gaycty to
what otherwise. on the democrat side,
will be a mournful campaign.

"•ir«-nl Failure."
Scarcely a day passes without a let
ter or an interview from William J.
Bryan regarding the candidacy for
1904. It will be noticed, too, that all
the questioners are democrats. The
most recent one is the editor of the
New Orleans Times-Democrat, w ho has
elicited from Bryan the response that
"1 shall not be a candidate for the
presidency in the next campaign," to
which is added the stipulation: "If I
ever again become a candidate for the
presidency it will be because I am
convinced that I can in that way give
more effective aid to the cause in
which I am enlisted for life, and 1 am
not anxious to be convinced. I cannot
say more without prejudging events."
This answer is likely to call out other
questions. The reason of lliis is that
the answers do not settle anything
definitely, says the St. Louis (Jlobe-
Democrat. Bryan says if he ever be
comes the candidate again it will be
because he is convinced that lie can in
that way give more aid to his cause
than he can in private life. Which
means thai if a democratic convention
offers him the nomination he will ac
cept it. This will be the meaning that
nine out of every ten persons in the
country will put on these words. Bry
an's friends, as a consequence, will lie
encouraged, and some of them to
morrow or the next day will ask - him
this quest ion over again, wit h t he hope
of getting an answer which will show
a little less coyness than he has dis
played for the past few (lays, while
some of his democratic enemies will
put the query to him with the hope of
getting some answer that will take
him altogether out of the field, or
which will appear to do this.
There is significance in the circum
stance that the quest ioners in all eases
are democrats. The hopes of the one
element of the democracy and Ilie
fears oft he other ingredient w ill keep
Mr. I'ryan busy answering these inter
rogations along till the day of the big
convention. Bryan is a large person
age still in the democratic party. The
solicitude of his friends and his foes
proves this. 'ltlie republicans are show
ing less interest in him because they
know-that they can win without the aid
he would furnish as a democratic can
didate. The republicans can beat any
ma n the democrats ha vein their ranks.
In the meant ime, if the democrats feel
like putting up Mr. Bryan f<>r his tliird
battle, the republicans will not make
1h ■ slightest objection to their course.
REVISION OF THE TARIFF.
It Will INevcr He Dime with Heneflt
In American I merest* Ii y the
Democrata.
The statement of Senator Cullom
that the republicans of Illinois and
the whole west are in sympathy with
the demand of the lowa republican
platform that the tariff should be re
vised periodically seems to indicate
that the tariff question will be taken
up in congress within the near future,
says the Cleveland Leader.
As a matter of fact, few republicans
sire "wedded to schedules." This was
shown when the Dingley law was en
acted. for that amounted to a revision
of the tariff downward from the sched
ules thai had been incorporated in the
McKitiley law. There has been, since
the enactment of the Dingley hiw.no
insistanee upon the maintenance of its
schedules. The necessity for revision
has been admitted by republican lead
ers from time to time. There has,
however, been strenuous opposition
on the part of republicans to a re
vision along democratic lines. As Sen
ator Cullom says, the democrats are
free traders tariff smashers—and if
they are intrusted with the work of
revision, something like the Wilson
law, with its blighting effects upon
the industries of the country, will be
the result.
The republicans are the friends of
protection. They always go about tar
iff legislation with the purpose of tak
ing care of the industries of ilie Unit
ed States of protecting the interests
of capital and labor in this country,
and the records of the two parties dur
ing tne past half century give ample
proof that it is far safer to int rust the
work of tariff revision to the republic
ans than to the democrats.
ONE OF THEIR ISSUES.

injt Paramount (he (Incntliiii of
"Hlkli Price*."
Now it is given out that one of the
vital issues that democracy will make
the next campaign will be "high
prices." They will point to the fact
that the laboring tnn n has to pay more
for wheat he buys than he did tinder
Cleveland, and that republican admin
istration brought this condition. It
is to be expected that democracy, that
li-".s dune nothing but bungle in ils
pint form fort he past 40 years or more,
would fall into about such a trap as
this. They do not stop to think that
labor is getting nil the way from 25
per cent, to 100 per cent, more wages
per day than it did then, and oasily
getting double the number of days*
employment that they got then. They
fail to see tiiat the farmer is getting
from double to th ree times the a mount
for hi- produce now that he got then.
They forget that in Cleveland's time
the only thing that was high was in
terest, and that now it is the cheap
est of all commodities. The repub
licans will gladly go before the labor
ers and farmers and submit the deci
sion to their wiles, us to whether they
desire starvation prices on everyihlng
and o tu-third t Ime nil ploy men t, or liv

Washington, Sept. 11.—The monthly
report of the department of agricul
ture shows the average condition of
corn on September 1 to have been
bi.'.i, as compared wth 80..1 on August
1, 1902, and a ten-year average of 7s.S.
Except in Kansas and South Dakota,
which report, n decline of 12 points
and 10 points respectively during Aug
ust, no material change of condition
Is reported from any of the principal
corn states, and except those of tho
south and the state of Michigan, they
again report condition averages in
excess of their respective averages
for th<> last ten years.
The average condition at harvest of
winter and spring wheat combined
was 80, against v :.\s last year, and a
ten-year average of 73.9.
North Dakota, South Dakota, Ne
braska and Missouri report •_'(), 2-t, J.l
and 24 points, respectively, above
their ten-year averages, while Penn
sylvania :.nd California report 5 points
below the ten-year average.
The average condition of oats when
harvested was 87.2, against 82.1 last
year, and a ten-year average of 79.7.
While correspondents report the har
vesting of an exceptionally large crop
of oats, there are indications that the
crop will be very deficient in point of
quality.
There was a decline in the condi
tion of sweet potatoes during Aug
ust, and in all the principal states ex
cept New Jersey, Virginia and South
< arolina, present conditions are be
low the ten-year averages.
The acreage of has been
considerably reduced since last year,
only two of the principal stales—.
Maryland and Ohio- -reporting even a
small increase.
(if the states having 4.000,000 trees
and upwards in apples, 11 report an
improvement in condition during Aug
ust. All but six of the important ap
ple growing states report conditions
ranging from 7 to li 2 points above
their ten-year averages; in Ohio the
condition agrees with such average;
while Indiana, West Virginia, Ten
nessee and Kentucky report condi
tions below such average.
Reports as to the production of
peaches as compared with a full crop
in the important peach growing
states range from 10 per cent. In Illi
nois to 99 in Oklahoma. In all but
eight of the states having 2,000,000
trees and upwards in 1599, a produc
tion exceeding the ten-year average
is probable.
In all the states in which the pro
duction of grapes is of more than lo
cal importance, the condition is equal
to or above the ten-year average.
There is a decrease in the number
of hogs now being fattened compare I
with a year ago in every important

Kingston, Jamaica, Sept. 11. —The
German steamer Valencia, which ar
rived here Wednesday from Santa
Martii. capital of the department of
Magdalena, Colombia, brings news of
a victory at Santa Marta by the
Columbian revolutionists over the
government forces.
Copt. Gronmeyer, of the Valencia,
says that last Friday the revolution
ists made a despcraite attack on tho
outskirts of Santa. Marta. The gov
ernment troops were overwhelmed
and forced to retreat, leaving behind
them 100 dead. Immediately after
the withdrawal of the government
forces the rebels started to destroy
the railroad tracks. They derailed
several trains at various points, de
molishing engines and cars, the latter
being chiefly fruit vans. Several lives
were also lost in these wrecks.
Saturday the revolutionists occu
pied the banana district of Senega,
where they continued to wreck the
railroad, at the same time keeping up
their advance towards Santa Marta.
When the Valencia sailed from Santa
Marta Monday the revolutionists were
so near town that ('apt. Gronmeyer
could see the flashes of their guns.
Several buildings in Santa Marta were
then blazing, having been ignited by
the few troops left there to oppose
the attack of the revolutionists. The
town at that time was expected mo
mentarily to surrender.
Owing to the total destruction of
the railroad, the Valencia did not get
her cargo of fruit at Santa Marta,
Officers of the Valencia say that
horrible atrocities were committed
during the fighting by the rebels, who
chiefly used machetes. Almost all of
the government troops killed were
found along the railroad track, their
bodies being terribly mutilated. They
were partially covered by branches of
banana trees.
The revolutionists gained posses
sion of Culebra without opposition
and their possession of that point has
not been disturbed. The government
is maintaining an attitude of defense
and a desperate engagement is ex
pected shortly. Business on the isth
mus is suspended.
