In 1881 it passed the 300,000,000 line and slowly increased ' with the population; in 1899 it was j over 400,000,000 bushels; In 1902 it ex- j reeded 50(1,000,000, and in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1904, was 517,- j 000,0(10 bushels —a greater total than i in any preceding year. The sovereign who reigns over the smallest monarchy in the world is the king of Cocos, a group of islands near j Sumatra. These islands were discov- j ered about "00 years ago by the cap- j tain (if the Keeling, but were conipara lively little known till 1825. When i Mr. Ross, an Englishman. visited thein he was struck by their beauty and \ took up his abode there. It is his j grandson, George Ross, who now i holds sway over the Cocos. According to a report of the Oer- ' man consul at Kief, an American firm | which sells annually nioro than $510,- •100 worth of agricultural implements ; in Omsk, has decided to erect a tech- ; nical school in which persons will be , ■rained to use agricultural implements . and to instruct farmers in their use. The company found that th.7 lack of knowledge of agricultural machines ivas the greatest drawback to the de- : veiopmcnt of its trade in that region, i | | The report for 1903 on the acreago ! <nd production of crops and the num- ! ber of live stock in Great Britain has ! just been published by the board of igriculture.

Only 16 per cent, of the sur- j face remains to be accounted for. Lady Eleanor Wiekham, the London | society leader, has a craze for wearing 1 little grass snakes for bracelets. She entices the reptiles to twine them selves around her wrist, then she j plunges her hands and arms into icy j cold water for a few moments, with ! the result that the serpents become | torpid and remain in a more or less j comatose state for some hours. Thus j she is able to preside at afternoon tea j with her arms covered with living j snakes as bracelets. : In Alaska the reindeer is taking the j place of the Eskimo dog as a beast <<f ; burden in transporting passengers and j freight, over frozen snows.

They also ! supply their possessors with whole- i some, nutritious milk, even in the I vigors of the polar winter, when and i where no other milk can be had at any | price. The available farm land in Indian Verriiory is estimated at 15,0'J11,000 i acres. These figures are taken from the records of the Dawes commission. Of this 15 per cent, was in cultivation last year. There will be an increase of at least 5 per cent, this year. Min ing is i he subject of considerable en terprise in Bolivia.

At such altitudes the climate is brac ing and healthy. As the Chesapeake ojv.ter crop has grown annually less, the genera! de mand lias grown annually great -r.

GROWTH OF THE COUNTRY j National Expenditures Have Simply Kept Pace with the Nation's Unique Development. If Mr. Parker would consent to de scend to particulars instead of dealing i with generalities when on the subject of national expenditure the American ! people would have more respect for i him. It is all very well to denounce j extravagance, hut such denunciations j have little or no effect on the public j mind. It is absurd to institute compar- j isons between expenditures of different, j periods, for they depend upon the na- . tional growth and could only be fairly j j compared if the country were in an arrested stage of development. Judge I Parker points out that, during Mr. j j Cleveland's first term the average an- j nual disbursements of the government j were much less than they are at pres i ent. but ho does not let us know | whether anything was accomplished j in the way of properly meeting the na- j tional needs during the democratic ad- j ' ministration. It may happen to have been the case that the smaller sum ex- j pended during Cleveland's term repre- j ; sents a greater degree of extravagance j j than the larger disbursements of later | i years. At any rate, it is tip to the : ■ critics of republican expenditures to point out in which items extravagance i 1 is displayed, and not to confine them- ! I selves to wholesale denunciation of to ' tals. The reason why Judge Parker does ; not particularize is known to everyone i ' who has any familiarity with the sub- ; I ject of national expenditure. If lie j should attempt, says the San Francisco j Chronicle, to furnish a bill of details j it would be possible for republicans to ! analyze it and demonstrate thai his | charge is groundless. If. for instance, ! he objected to the increased expendi- 1 tares for naval purposes, it would be j promptly shown thai all appropriations for the navy were made with the api j proval of the major part of the demo- | ! crats in congress. If he has a quarrel ' with the size of ihe pension list, it j ! must be with democrats as well as re- i ; publicans, for the appropriations for | 1 war pensions are practically made j unanimously. What is true of these j i two great classes of appropriations is | true of all others. The record does i not. show any consistent or persistent I attempt on the part of the democrats j | In congress to check expenditure. They j ' are notoriously of the class which fa- ! | vors "the old flag and an appropria- j j tion," and the worst offenders in this j | regard are the members from the "solid | ] south," whose chief reason for being j | In Washington seems to be to secure j ; substantial recognition for their re- j spective sections, j Apart from these considerations, it j | is preposterous to make a comparison of expenditures with Cleveland's first I term without dwelling upon the growth of the country in the interval. Judge j ' Parker says the average annual ex- i \ penditures during Cleveland's first ! term amounted to $269,000,000, and for ! the past three years they have been \ ! $519,000,000. During this interval the . population of the country has grown from 58,000,000 to 80,000,000; bank clearings have increased from $55,000.- ! 000,000" to $114,000,000,000; exports of ! domestic merchandise from $730,282,000 |to $1,392,000,000; bank deposits from! $1.035,022.911 to $10,382,000,000; value ; of mineral products from $619,512,173 jto $1,260,649,265; insurance in force j from $4,049,578,567 to $10,508,478,776; 1 annual postage receipts from less than | $60,000,000 to about $15,000,000,000. Is |it astonishing that the expenditures j i should have kept pace with the devel-1 j opment noted? Not to anyone famil- j i iar with the early history of the coun try. which shows that there has been j a steady increase of disbursement un- j rler democratic as well as under reptib- j lican administrations, and that this ; process has never been checked with- j out producing a marked deterioration of tin' public service, the efficiency of which can only he maintained by keep- ; ing it well abreast of the national prowth.

WAGES AND THE TARIFF. : More Than All Else Protection Pro tects the Welfare of the Amer ican Workingman. The democratic platform denounces the protective tariff policy of the re publican party as "a robbery of the many for the enrichment of the few." I We cannot keep this assertion before I the people and the wage earners toe | often. It will bo iteration and reitera i lion. Many eminent economists, with : free-trade leanings, of course, have de ! dared that the only thing which a i protective tariff protects is labor. The | democratic party, says the Wheeling j Intelligencer, has declared otherwise. I The London Ironmonger some years I ago declared strenuously that this ia i a fact. It stated that labor was the only thing which a protective tariff i really protected. It has been asserted 1 by many other statisticians that the ; protective tariff is all that keeps the wages of the American workingmen at ilic high level which they have reached. : There are many people who would like to see these wages reduced to the Eu | pean level. They say it. is wholly un natural that the wage earners of the I'nited Slates should receive wages so much higher than are paid by t lie other j nations of the world. It is very likely that this is what troubles a good many free-traders of this country. They be \ lieve that we should get down to the level of wages in Europe, and that tho only way to accomplish this is to get down to a free-trade basis. The fram i ers of the democratic platform of 1891! > probably had this idea in mind when ■ they built the tariff plank iu which i ihey declared: "We denounce republican protection as a fraud and a robbery of a great ma jority of the American people for the ; benefit of the few. We declare it to be a fundamental principle of the demo cratic party that the federal govern i merit has 110 constitutional power to | impose and collect tariff duties except ! for the purpose of revenue only." On the other hanf!, the republican | party has always maintained that a j protective tariff keeps up the wages of the working people and protects the I manufacturer from the low wage sched ule of his European competitors. The working men who have looked into this subject are fully convinced that | the protective tariff protects their j wages. There is no doubt about, it. A POINT FOR YOUNG MEN. Do They Agree with Judge Parker That Our"Flag Should Come Down in Philippines? The young men of the United States, 1 by tens of thousands, bravely volun teered to put down insurrection in the Philippines. Our treaty with Spain ] touching the great archipelago on the far side of the Pacific was clinched by the valor and sacrifices of armies ccrm -1 po.sed of young Americans. Judge l'ar ker has just said in a letter that he is | in favor of telling the hundreds of tribes in the Philippines at once that ! they will eventually be given indepea ; deuce on tlie haine basis as the Cu bans. That is to say, argues the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, we should now ; assure the Filipinos that their ilag will go up and the United States flag come down; that we retain only a naval station by treaty; that the Filipinos conduct their own independent govern i ment, imposing a tariff against, our goods, and, doubtless, increasing it, as Cuba has just done, and negotiating j rational loans to be distributed among Filipinos, also on the Cuban plan. Was it for this pulling down of the Hag i that the noble arimes of young Ameri cam fought and hiked in the Philip j pines? Judge Parker's proposed sur ' render of the islands has not yet been discussed in this country. He has pledged himself to act now without ! any popular debate or congressional consideration. His convention tele -1 gram and his letter on the Philippines ! show that he is an extremely unsafe | man, erratic, premature and generally | dangerous in his egotistic movements. | ti 'lf Parker.

New Battleship Connecticut Success fully Launched. New York, Sept. 30. —Although suc cessfully launched yesterday, the bat tleship Connecticut did not have tlie bottle of wine broken by Miss Alice B. Welles, who had been selected as sponsor for the ship. She threw the bottle at the bows as the ship began to move off the ways, but it failed tc break when it struck the vessel's side. Rear Admiral Rodgers attempted tc grasp the bottle as it rebounded, but failed, and the ship was moving off into the water when a workman on the deck seized the string that held thj bottle and dashed the glass receptacle of the champagne against the side of the ship, shattering it to pieces, to the relief of the superstitious. The Connecticut is of steel with a trial displacement of 1(!,000 tons and a maximum displacement of 17,770 tons.
