"WHAT OF OUR FARMS?
From the Tlmes-HeraUl.
Is the Increase of farm tenancy In the
United States, as shown by the last cen
sus, the slitn of an ''awful evil" as some
assert? Th facts In the cose are suf
ficiently Important to be of general Inter
est. The total number of farms according
to the census of l! was B.TO.Ml. The
number of these farms operated by their
owners was S,2t9."2, an Increase during
the previous ten years of 285,422. The
number of furms operated by tenants
was 1.294.876, which was an Increase dur
ing the ten years of 270,312. The numbsr
of farm laborers working for wages In
1890 was 3,1X11.015. which was 219.761 less
than In 1880. During tills period the num.
ber of all the farms of the country had
increased by r&j.734, and the entire popula
tion had Increased 12,500,000.
One Inference from these facts Is that a
largely Increased amount of farm work Is
now being done by means of labor saving
machinery. Another Inference Is that the
Increase In the number of farm owners is
decidedly greater than the corresponding
Increase In the number of farm tenants.
In other words, many farm tenants must
have come to be farm owners. Of course,
so far as farm tenants have grown to be
farm owners, the slim Is altogether favor
able. Is It a good sign to have so many
families 1.021. 4:3 in till. occiiDVlnx farms
as tenants? The answer to this question
would seem to depend on two conditions.
First, whether, on the whole, livelihood
on farms as tenant Is really perferablc to
tne livelllino'l wnicn tnose rami lies would
be likely to get In other occupations, espe.
dally In cities, or as hired laborers on
farms. Second, whether or not, on 'the
whole, the temlencv Is from farm tenancy
to farm ownership?
Two men. the one Eolng up a hill, the
other going down, may be seen on the
same level with each other. It makes all
the difference, however, which way each
one Is going. The undeniable fnrt. then,
about farm tenancy tn the umtml mates
Is that the tennnt Is apt to become an
owner. That surely Is not an awful sign,
but a particularly good one. Another
point of Interest Is, What clans are the
farm tenants recruited from? If the
number of tenants Increased more than
the number of owners that might Indicate
that owners of farms were lapsing Into
mere tenants. But the facta are Just the
other way. The Increase In tenants must
come from the ranks of the hired laborers.
The conclusion of the whole matter, there,
fore, Is that the sympathetic calnmlty
howler a to farm tenancy In the United
States, If he will read the facts IntellU
aently, will find his lugubrious minstrelsy
out of a Job. He would better pitch some
other tune and just whistle.

THE POSTER IN POLITICS.
Its Effect la the Soata la 1813-l'eedla
: J ) .. EasjHea Eleefloa.
The librarian of the British museum
baa laaued a special appeal to all can
didates In the reeent elections to for
ward to him for preservation In the
archives of that great national library
coplea of bills, placards and pictures
which they have issued for the purpose
of Influencing electors. Such a collec
tion will undoubtedly be valuable to
the future historian, and a glance at
this literature, which came Into exist
ence during the English political cam
paign of 18U5, may serve as a suggestion
to the politicians who are making
American history and who so far have
not availed themselves as extensively
as our English relations of this form of
appeal to the voter. The most note
worthy Instance of the use of the post
er in this country was during our pres
idential campaign of 1892, when several
effective "protection," "free trade,"
and "force bill" cartoons were sent out
by the national Democratic and Repub
lican committees. These exerted a
powerful influence In many quarters,
especially the "force bill" poster In the
south.
A whole volume of congressional elo
quence may be condensed into a single
placard. One effective picture in glar
ing color or bold black and white may
bring home a political lesson or point a
moral far better than all the oratory ot
the platform or all all the appeals of
the pulpit. Moral literature has a
great advantage over other propa
ganda. Like wisdom In the Book of
Proverbs, the placard cries aloud In
the main thoroughfares. It stands at
the corners of the streets. It forces
Itself upon your attention the moment
you stir outside your doors. Men can
refuse to read newspapers, they can
absolutely abjure the public meeting,
they can bundle the newspapers Into
the gutter, but unless they shut their
eyes from seeing they cannot pre
vent themselves from seeing the pic
tures, cartoons, and caricatures with
which the party bill-sticker may cover
tho available walls which he must
pass when he takes his walks abroad.
Mr. Carlyle has told us how In the hot
fever of the French revolution the
newspapers preferred the circulation
which they obtained by means of the
bill-sticker to the circulation secured
by the ordinary method of subscrip
tion. It would be possible to construct
from the placards and pictures Issued
during the recent English election a
very faithful and accurate picture of
the condition ot the minu or ungiana
when the last appeal was made to the
country. Review of Reviews.
IF YOU H ERE HERE.
If you were here, the changing tea
Now gold or green, now purple coy.
Now winsome blue at smiling noon.
And fading pale at eve too soon
Would prove a fairy palace, where
My thoughts a million gems would wear
To celebrate their Joy.
If you were here, the wilful road,
Meandering now hard by the sea.
Avoiding, claiming, risking sheer,
Now hiding In a woodland drear,
Would be a magic lane, whose end
Would golden gifts and rubles lend
To lure us constantly.
The thickly wooded Island there.
That stretches long and dark and still
The wild sand girdling all the land.
T' affright the steps of pirate band
Would be a myeUc shore, where we
Would search the key of things to bg.
And find It at our will.
If you were here, the crescent moon,
Queen regnant of the fitful tide.
Who gilds the crost of every wave,
Proclaiming It her loving slave.
Would All the sea from brim to brim.
Forgetful of her ebbing whim;
And here our bark would ride.
And all the shells along the strand
' Would empty out 'their sea-song lore
Vpon 4he flying evening gale;
And both should push our silken sail
Far-off to a sweet-scented land.
Where we would wander, hand In hand,
Nor part forever mora

u You have undoubtedly seen by
the papers that I have been

Bovinine, however. I have used

TO our patrons:
Washburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their many rat.
rons that they will this year hold to their usual custons
of milling STRICTLY jOLD WHEAT until thenew crop
is fully cured. New wheat la now upon the market, ana
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers arw
of the opinion that it is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will take
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully thrca
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling haJ
placed Wtshburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above other
brands.
