Our Harvest Wealth.
The total value of the farm product*
of the United States for the year 19 )5
will equal approximately the tola!
value of all the gold produced in the
world for the last 30 years. The an
nual output of the world's gold and
silver mines is even now worth less
lhaii one-tenth the gross output of
American farms for a single year. The
director of the mint estimates the
value of the world's production of gold
between the years 1873 and 190:5 at
$4,897,265,900. The gross value of the
farm products of the United States for
the year 1899, as given in the last fed
iral census, was $4,717,010,973. The
value of this year's products will un
questionably exceed that. The wheat
:rop is estimated to bo in excess of
700,000,000 bushels, second only to the
reccord-breaking ccrop of 1901. The
:orn crop is estimated at 2,716,000,000
—a figure that has never before beei
reached. While the cotton crop is ex
pected to fall below 10,000,000 bales,
the gross market value will not fall
greatly below the average of the last
five years. In other directions the re
ports indicate a year of prosperity for
American agriculture for which no au
minisiration in power need ever be re
luctant to claim the credit. While
the backbone of this prosperity is rep
resented by the three great speculative
crops, wheat, corn and coUon,. other
crop;: which never lash boards oft rade
into a frenzy modestly contribute their
hundreds of millions to.the annual
production of the American farm. No
body ever hears of an egg panic, but
the American lieu, without ostenta
tious display, lays $145,000,000 worth
of eggs in a year. The cold-storage
companies know about it and so do
the benevolent gentlemen in Chicago
who are known as the meat trust. The
newspapers never report a corner in
hay, but the hay crop is worth about
as much as the wheat crop and more
than the cotton crop. In spite of ail
misgivings about the decline of Ameri
can agriculture, remarks the New York
Woriu, and the aversion of the Ameri
can boy to farm life, the farm keeps ou
doing its work and laying an increas
ingly solid foundation for the prosper
ity of the rest of the country. The
farm output is more than keeping pace
with the population, as the statistics of
the last generation amply prove.
Women Guests Objectionable.
As a general rule, the leading hotels
In New York rather discourage lone
women guests. No matter how well
recommended they come or how cer
tain the management is of their re
spectability. they always tack about 20
per cent, on the price of apartments
when they are let to women. Wom
en do not. patronize the bar; they do
not spend much money in the dining
room; they are inclined to make their
own coffee for the morning in their
own rooms; they tack pictures on ex
pensive wall paper; they demand more
ser<ri<-e than the men; they do not en
tertain in the way that helps the ho
tel to make money; they are apt to
keep a pet dog without telling the
proprietor about it in advance. When
they wear waists that, button down the
back they want the housekeeper ol
the floor to come in and button them
lip or down for them. They are al
ways demanding (i. ra service of a
liiud which costs the hotel money, but
uiey are not inclined to pay for it.
President De Witt Hyde, of liowdoin,
in a recent address to the students de
nounced hazing in a vigorous manner.
He called the hazer the greatest cow
ard and most consummate scoundrel on
earth. He said hazing was devoid ut
fair play—alway . six to two or three to
one—and he at '.ed liowdoin undergrad

men and to keep their college clean.
The essential cowardice of the hazer
has not been sufficiently dwell upon. I(.
takes not only a coward but a brute to
be a good hazer.

CAME THAT IS PLAYED OUT
Canadians Are Giving No Encour
agement to the Democratic
Scheme.
The fact that Canada has not said a
word about encouraging the democrats
in their moves for reciprocity is evi
dence enough that the people have
closed up on that subject, like so many
wh:o claims, since the talk of a few
years ago. And there is no guessing
on that side of the issue as the Boston
reciprocity democrats are guesing on
their side, says the Worcester Tele
gram. A New England writer who
knows Canada as an open book has
been sent into the country to find out
what the people over there think of
the jumps for reciprocity by the demo
crats of this country. He writes that
he has been in the maritime provinces
and Quebec and Ontario since the end
of June making inquiries in view of
the approaching revision of the Cana
dian tariff, and he finds all the papers,
with one small exception in Montreal,
and all the people and officials declar
ing that the tariff rates must be mado
higher at the revision.
This man has been familiar with
the affairs of Canada as a traveler
since 1890. In the earlier years since
that time he heard nothing else
among the people who sought a change
but the cry for deliverance from the
national policy tariffs, the protective
tariffs of the older Canada, which
have been somewhat revised, but al
ways maintained. The ..uerais led the
movement for cutting out the tariffs,
which meant practically free trade for
Canada. But later when the liberals
were victorious at the polls, there was
no demand for free trade and the re
sult was the preferential tariff for the
products of Great Britain and the in
creasing of the duties on goods from
other nations. The liberals had also
denounced the bounties paid by the
government for certain industries,
which in effect amounted to the protec
tion given industries in the United
States by the tariff. The same- lib
erals continued the bounties after they
took the government and even extend
ed them.
Now the American writer finds
that all the people favor the tariffs,
the bounties for industries, and are
calling for still more protection by
means of higher tariff schedules. This
writer declares that he has talked on
the subject with manufacturers, job
bers, commercial travelers, profession
al men and other people who are not
directly interested in the benefits of
the tariff and bounties, and he failed
to find one person who wanted to ap
proach free trade in any way or who
had any objection to offer to the pres
ent system of the government for the
protection of industries, the only de
mand for a change being for an en
largement of that system. He sums
up his findings: "A short stay in Can
ada is sufficient to convince an observ
er that any crusade having as its object
a diminution of the protection now ac
corded to Canadian manufacturers,
whether by recpirocity with the Unit
ed States or by further preferences for
Great Britain, would be utterly fruit
less."
That is the condition against which
the reciprocity cranks of this country
are to ram their heads. They will
find the coutnry to the north so im
pregnable that it cannot be touched by
even the theorists of Boston. Cana
dians are as quiet as clams about re
ciprocity. They are not trying to ad
vance backward like the democrats ol
the United States.
Benefits Importers.
The tariff revisers who demand that
the change in the tariff law, whenever
it shall begin, must not be on the lines
of keeping the American wage earner in
his job, but must be on the lines of get
ting articles offered in our market at
the lowest possible prices, whether they
come from American mills and factories
or from those of Germany, England or
anywhere else —these revisers, we sub
mit, must waive all other considerations
than the business of the importer, who
would like togo into the American
field with a foreign article and outsell
the domestic article, thus closing the
mill and factory of our own country and
putting out of work the American wage
earner, displaced by the foreigner. If
this Is not so. why should there be such
a cry that a revision on Dingley lines
will not satisfy the Cumminses, etc.?—

NO NEED OF RUNNING RISK
Why Tamper with Tariff That Brings
Good Times and Con
tentment.
In an interesting letter from Wash
ington to the American Economist Al
fred J. Dodge shows that while certain
elements in both the republican and
democratic parties are trying to break
down the tariff wall in this country
other nations which are witnessing the
astounding prosperity that is every
where prevalent in the United States,
are crying for the adoption of a protec
tive tariff policy so that they and their
people may also enjoy the blessings
happiness and contentment that a
strong tariff measure like the Dingley
law brings.
It is passing strange, indeed. In the
light of the unprecedented prosperity
that abounds in the United States, that
anyone would even suggest, much less
urge and fight for, a change in our tar
iff laws, and, on the other hand, it is
only natural that other countries that
are not enabled to enjoy the fruits of
beneficent legislation such as brought
the United States out of industrial
darkness into the glorious light of
prosperity and peace should wait with
eagerness for the day when they, too,
shall have a system of protection
which means so much for the manufac
turer, for the laborer and for the me
chanic.
If every mill and factory in the coun
try wasn't running to its full capacity,
and in many cases working overtime;
if every man who wants work was not
employed at better wages than he ever
before received; if we lived in a soup
house era, as we did from 1894 to 1897;
in short, if everybody wasn't busy and
had no reason to complain, there might
be some excuse for a revision of our
tariff laws, there might be a reason
for trying some new experiment; but
in view of all the facts in the case,
what earthly reason can there be for
a change at this time or any other
time until conditions are less favora
ble to all classes than they are now?
You may talk about your revision ol
the tariff, you - may talk about your
reciprocity, you may preach dual tariff,
or you may rant about free trade, but
what for? Isn't everybody happy and
prosperous? Nobody denies it. Then,
if such is the case, why not let well
enough alone? Or, in other words, why
not stand pat?
Tinkering with the tariff is sure tc
be followed by the loss of confidence,
the closing of factories, unemployed la
bor, hard times and the opening ol
soup houses. This has been the sequel
of all attacks upon our system of pro
tection, and a word to the wise is su£
ficient.
NOTHING MORE TO BE DONE
The Tariff Is Safe in the Hands ol
the Fifty-Ninth Con
gress.
It seems to be as good as settled thai
reciprocity and tariff revision are no(
to be had at the hands of the Fifty-ninth
congress. That is a welcome prospect,
says the American Protectionist. Not
until the reciprocity and revision forces
shall have captured the congress district
conventions of 1906 will industry and
production and trade and labor have any
reason to draw tighter the lines of enter
prise and activity.
It would be well if definite assurance
of a determination to let the tarifl
alone during the life of the Fifty-ninth
congress were to be given by caucus
action, as is foreshadowed by the
Evening Post. Such a course of pro
cedure would be square and manly. II
would tell the business community and
the wage earners just what to expect
and what not to expect for at least twe
years to come. It would relegate the
tariff ripping issue back to the people
where it belongs. It would give the
American Reciprocal Tariff league fail
notice and an invitation to make its
fight on clearly defined lines. It would
give to the great producing interests
and to the millions who earn and spend
high wages solid round on which tc
make their stand for continued pros
perity, continued protection, continued
tariff stability. It would make reci
procity and revision an open questior
inside the republican party. It woulc
bring the matter to a show of hands
next year. To that it must come ai
last. Therefore it would seem the pari
of wisdom and good politics for there
publican majority of the house of repre
sentatives of the Fifty-ninth congress
to settle the controversy by definite cau
cus action at the earliest possible stage
pledging the republican party to lei
the tariff alone during the life of the
present congresis.
C7"our minimum tariff must be one
sufficient to accord us the full meas
ure of protection. It must be the basis
upon which we are willing to trade
with every nation. It must bo under
stood that we will not cut under this
minimum, for to do so would virtually
bring us into free-trade relations with
the country to which the further con
cessions were granted. Countries thai
will not deal fairly with us on oui
minimum basis should receive the ful
force of our maximum duties. Spring

Enterprise National Sank, of Alle.
gheny, Pa., Fails After Cash
ier Suicides.
Pittsburg, Oct. 19. —After an investi
gation of the hooks of the Enterprise
national bank, of Allegheny, which
disclosed that the bank was insolvent,
T. Lee Clark, cashier of ihe institu
tion for years, went to his home, 545
Lincoln avenue, Bellevue, Tuesday
night, spent a sleepless night and yes
terday morning took poison and shot
himself through the head. He lingered
until 2:30 o'clock, when death came.
An hour before the announcement
of his death was received at the bank,
a telegram came from the comptroller
of the currency at Washington to
close the doors, and appointing Bank
Examiner John B. Cunningham as re
ceiver.
Following closely on the order of
exciting events in Allegheny came the
announcement of the president of Ihe
bank, Fred Gwinner, that Clark had
loaned thousands of dollars to Penn
sylvania politicians; that he himself
on Tuesday indorsed a note for $50,000
for Clark, concluding with the state
ment "that if the shortage was only
SIOO,OOO he would gladly pay it him
self."
The bank has state deposits which
will amount to about SBOO,OOO, of
which $398,000 is in the checking or
active account and the rest instate
sinking funds.
Mr. Gwinner in his statement said:
"Nearly $700,000 of the SBOO,OOO state
deposits of our bank is out on paper of
state politicians. W. 11. Andrews lias
borrowed nearly $400,000; Frank J.
Torrance has borrowed considerable. I
do not know how much. But the bank
is solvent."
Mr. Clark had lived in Bellevue for
15 years and has always held positions
of the highest honor and trust in his
community. He represented the Sec
rind ward in the Bellevue council.
Clark was a member of the United
Presbyterian church of Bellevue, be
ing a member of the official board. He
has always taken an active interest in
the work of the church and was its
largest contributor.
AN EXPOSE OF GRAFTERS.
It Is Promised at St. Paul, Minn.—
Former State Officials Are Said
to be Involved.
St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 21. —The scene
of the investigation by the Hennepin
county grand jury of the old officers of
the Northwestern National Life Insur
ance Co., of Minneapolis, may be
transferred to St. Paul.
Payments of money have come to
light, it is said, for corrupt purposes
made in St. Paul which may necessi
tate action by the local courts in or
der to secure a conviction.
Testimony already placed before the
grand jury involves two former state
officials, the alleged payment in a
room in the Ryan hotel of a $5,000
check for the suppression of a report
exposing the condition of the company
and a voluntary contribution of SI,OOO
each to the two democratic and repub
lican state central committees.
Another state official is credited
with receiving S3OO, in installments of
$l5O each, for Sunday work done in a
clerical capacity. He figured as an
expert accountant. As to the campaign
contributions they are said to be
vouched for in a confession made by
one of the old officers, but its receipt
is denied in the case of the democrats
on the authority of Labor Commission
er Williams, who says he was the one
to whom the tender was practically
made.
The Northwestern Life Insurance
Co as reorganized is not concerned in
this investigation.
REVIEW OF TRADE.
Business Brisk and Steadily Improv.
ing. Especially in Iron and Steel.
New York, Oct. 21. K. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Activity broadens in commercial
channels and confidence expands be
cause of the many evidences of con
servatism. Business is brisk and im
proving and there is no disposition to
start a boom either in commodities or
securities. Manufacturers receive lib
eral orders for remote deliveries,
many dealers having covered spring
requirements, and shipping depart
ments are forwarding as freely as traf
fic facilities will permit.
Current retail trade is not equalling
expectations, but this is attributed to
mild autumn weather, and prepara
tions for the future are undiminished.
Especially good news is received from
the iron and steel centers, output of
mills and furnaces increasing, without
relieving the pressure for quick deliv
ery.
Failures this week numbered 233 in
the United States, against 215 last
year, and 3S in Canada, compared with
39 a year ago.

says: "Contracts reported this week

THE BUMPER WHEAT
YIELD OF CANADA.
100,000,000 Bushels of Wheat
from 4,000,000 Acres
of Land.
In order to secure the attention of
the reader to any special article that
is brought before the public, it is
often the custom to lead the reader on
by the introduction of an interesting
story until, by one bold jump, ho is
introduced to the subject that it is
desired shall be brought to his notice.
This is not fair to the reader, and
it is not the intention to do that in
this article. It will discuss in the
briefest way "Western Canada" and
its possibilities for settlement. For
the past six or seven years the Gov
ernment of the Dominion of Canada
has talked of the resources of West
ern Canada to the readers of this and
thousands of other papers throughout
the United States. The quality of the
soil was sjioken of.the large area of
fertile lands was discussed, the pos
sibilities of the country as a grain
growing district were talked of, and
the story of the success of farmers
from the United States was told. The
story is not yet an old one. The two
hundred thousands from the United
States, who have made Western Can
ada their home, who have taken advan
tage of the ICO acres of land that the
Government gives free to actual set
tlers are telling the story to-day to
their friends. They have proven the
statements made through these col
umns, and by the Government Agents.
They have produced from their land
twenty, thirty, forty and more bush
els of wheat to the acre, and netted
profits ranging from three to ten and
more dollars on every acre tilled.
They have found the climate fully as
good as they were told it would be,
schools were convenient and easily or
ganized, railways were not far dis
tant, and markets close at hand. The
social conditions were such as they
chose to make them, and law and
order were observed. Many of them
bought land, because it was low-priced
and good, and hundreds of cases could
be cited where the purchase price of
the land was paid out of the first crop.
The writer knows of cases this year
where the farmer, as a result of the
yield on his farm, was putin a posi
tion that would enable him to increase
his holdings three extra acres for
every acre cropped and pay cash for
it. Is it any wonder that one grows
enthusiastic when speaking about
Western Canada.
But what may be said of this year?
We are now in a position to speak re
garding it. The conditions throughout
Manitoba and the new provinces of Al
berta and Saskatchewan have been re
markably favorable. Had conditions
been no better than in past years
there would have been every cause for
congratulation. We find, though, all
previous records broken, and that from
a four million acre crop of wheat there
will be one hundred million bushels
of a yield—or 25 bushels to the acre.
Could anything better be desired?
Covering the entire country the same
splendid reports are being received.
The following dispatch was sent by
Mr. F. W. Thompson, Vice President
of the Ogilvie Milling Co., one of the
most careful grain men in America:
"Have just returned from covering
several hundred miles of the crop
district. I never saw anything like
it in this country before. The average
yield and quality far exceeds our
earlier expectations. It is an immense
crop. The weatner is extremely fa
vorable." Up to three weeks ago it
was Mr. Thompson's opinion that the
crop would not reach general expecta
tions.
F. W. Thompson send 3 another tele
gram from Winnipeg to-night, saying
that his estimate of the wheat crop
is now one hundred million bushels.
Before he went west he thought it
would fall considerably short of that
figure.
The moral of this story is that there
should be no hesitation in making a
decision if you wish to better your
condition; or, if you have a family o£
boys that you wish to become settled
on farms, it is a safe proposition to
call upon the nearest authorized Can
adian Government Agent, and get par
ticulars as to most suitable districts
and railwav rates.
