The Steel Famine.
IX commenting upon tho signifi
cance of tho steel famine which
has nffected tho various Indus
tries of tho country to such a
marked degree, the "Washington Star
says:
The steel famine reveals a signifi
cant condition among tho people o
this cnuntty. It Is primarily caused
by an unprecedented demand for all
kinds of structural steel, for bridges,
buildings, railroads and ships. This
demnnd in turn indicates that a vast
amount of capital is being expended
in all tlreso enterprise Investors are
erecting great buildings because they
peek a moans of ptofltably laying nut
their idle money. They are putting
ships on the ways because tho cariy
Ing trade Is booming and there Is a
great need of essels. The railroads
are penetrating into new territory nnd
therefore need bridges to permit them
to reach freight centers hltheito unat
tractive. This means that tho farmois
nre finding n market for their products
and that manufacturers nro locating
In new places In tho cities street
jailroads are being built because theie
is a greater demand than ever for
rapid transit People are going out
intp the subuiban nreas to build nnd
buy homes and must hae means of
ready access. This means prosperity
among the people, who nre enjoying
the fiults of tho ticmendous commer
cial and industrial notlv ity nnd have
ventured to spend their savings In
propei ty bec.uiM" thev are getting good
wages and expect that condition to
continue. And f-o w hlle tho steel mak
ris are stialnlng every none to find
sufficient skilled labor to pel ml t them
to nvet their ordcis and thus directly
benefiting certain classes of workmen,
theli profitable picdlcament rellects a
generally piev.ilent condition. Vir
tually all the trades are nffected,
AVages paid abundantly In ono partleu
lai line find their way Into other lines
in propoitlon as tho wago-carneis feel
the lnlluenc e of tho prosperity and
grow confident nnd begin to spend.
TIip ciictilatlon of capital, which is al
vajs chokpd by apprehension, Is stim
ulated nnd every aitery and vein In
the whole s-oe!al and Industrial system
feels the beneficent effvet. The seciet
of the spectacle is that tho people have
confidence This Is no w lid plunge.
Investigators ate spending their mil
lions at random, with th3 chance of a
sudden reveisal of conditions and con
sequent loss They feel thai theli rail
roads, their tiolley lines, their ships
nnd their offico buildings an 1 hotels
will continue profitable as lontr as the
Industries are activo and the people
nre well paid and have faith. Some
times Ameiicin prosperity depends In
a mea-sure upon foreign calamities,
such as failures of ciops, which send
a rush of orders fiom abroad for our
wheat and other food products In tho
present case, however, the gi eater part
of the commeicial activity is due to
the Increasing foreign demand for
American manufactures, paitlculariy
In the very fine line of steel and lion
which now discloses the domestic con
ditions so accurately. Thlh is no cal
amitous en use. likely to disappear, but
It Is the result of substantial condi
tions. The government's ciedlt is good
and is at present unmenaoed by de
structive changes Tho people are In
the main thoroughly satisfied with ex
isting chcumstances. There Is no
threat in tho air, and hence the won
d'Tful and yet natuial prosperity con
tinues unchecked. The faith of tho
people Is Indeed a vital factor in their
nvv n welfare.
This state of nffaits is also true of
the Lackawanna valley, nnd the silk
Industry has already become ono of tho
most important of Scrnnton and vicln
lty and almost daily in these duvs of
returned prosperity one may hear of
new enterprises In this lino that aro
In contemplation or fully under way.
The most difficult task before tho
Democratic orators this fnll will bo
that of convincing their hearers that
the country Is still In the grip of hard
limes.
Colonial lawmaking.
o
UK first experiment in .colonial
lawmaking, says tho Com
mercial Advct User, will bo
t. watched with Interest. Tho
report of tho Insular commission ap
pointed by the president to dinft a
code of laws for Porto Itlco has been
completed, and enough of It Is known
to Indicate Its general featutes. It
dries not, of course, contomplatu a con
stitution for Porto Itlco, but Is simply
n rraftlng of fundamental American
le-jnl ideas upon local customs and
such of tho old Spanish laws as may
bo allowed to temaln Itioadly speak
ing, It attempts to be an lute testing
fusion of tho Anglo-Saxon common
lnw, supplemented y statutes, nnd
the Spanish system founded chiefly
upon a tnlxtuip of t)ie civil and tho
canon or ucck-clatticaj avv'. That part
of the report which ays that the pro
posed code will supplant or embody
nil foimer laws nnd orders Indicates
the teal difficulty of tho tnsk.
How much will be supplanted and
how much embodied ' The old com
mon law principle for protecting life
and property, together with the statu
tory remedies evolved from them, will
doubtless bo applied; but tho tost will
be to prevent too strong nn Impnct
on the racial habits and such legal
customs ns may now' obtain among a
population bred to a very different or
der of things. It re-ally seems ns If
they might receive something too good
for them, because It will tnkn a long
time to accommodate their battered
nnd crammed notions of Justice to a
ciiJt? In which lespect for the Individual
will find larsc place. For centuries
the Potto Hlcans have been Jailed,
whipped, hanged and shot under Span
ish rule and now they nro to be under
n government which bases It control
chiefly on the hope thnt a self-icspect-lng
and self-governing ieoplo can be
made out of Its political wards. It
would seem, however, that even with
this end In view the code will bo slow
nnd tentative according to tho necessi
ties of tho care. This is Indicated by
the omission to consider Immediate
prepaiatlons for territorial or state
government.

A Trust lor Farmers.
proposed farmers' trust
f the Mississippi valley ap
JL pe;
pears to be more sunstan-
tlal than a mere newspaper
creation. There has really been or
ganized In Kansas, we nro told, a Far
mers' Federations lth $20,000,000 capital
stock divided Into 2,000,000 shares of
$10 each, the purpose of which, as set
forth in tho articles of Incorpoiatlon,
Is to "legulato and control the sa'j
nnd shipment of farm products of all
the states and territories of the Mis
sissippi valley, and to establish and
maintain offices, yards, grain elevnto'-s
and to appoint and maintain agents
and agencies for handling, gathering,
keeping, selling and distributing pro
ducts, and to loan and borrow money
and to do a banking business." The
places where its business is to be trans
acted are Topeka, Omaha, Kansas
City, St. Louis, Chicago and New Or
lcons v
A letter fiom Topeka, Kan., to tho
New York Sun says that In nddltlon
to the bank department provided for
in the charter, tho by-laws create a
bureau of statistics and separate sale
dppat Intents for giain, live stock, cot
ton and tobacco. The by-laws also
provide that there shall be no rebates
to shippers or dividends paid to stock
holder, but the sut plus earnings of
the company shall be held as a reserve
fund to finance the bank department,
to pav Interest on the bonds of tho
compnny, nnd for the pin chase of the
business and good-will of commission
houses. Later on, when this institu
tion shall be brought to a successful
Issue, the surplus earnings from a
commission and from the loans of
money by the bank depaitment shall
be equally divided between the stock
holders and the farmers, who may be
the holdeis of non-transferable bonds
of the company. In order that the
business of concentration may be facil
itated and the woik of emancipation
may be speedily accomplished, It Is
further provided by the by-laws that
there may bo Issued $10,000,000 of 5 per
cent, twenty-year debenture bonds of
the company, or fco much theieof as
may be necessary to purchase the busi
ness and good will of the commission
houses of Chicago, Kansas City,
Omaha, St. Louis and New Oilcans.
Tho headquaiters of the federation
will be nt Chicago after January next.
The prlrne mover In this novel enter
prise, a gentleman named Allen, meets
the Hi st objection which nnturally
suggests Itself by saying: "It Is not
necessary that all the farmers should
stand togethet in the execution of this
plan for mutual protection. If one
twentieth of the farmers of the West
and South who produce coi.i, wheat
and cotton equal to the export demand
should unite with the Farmers' Feder
ation, with pledges to abide by Its rules
and regulations, piotoctlon could then
be afforded to every ptoducer of corn,
wheat and cotton in the United States.
The power that can check or restrain
.shipments of faim pioducts, tho power
to hold out of the public maikets of
the country 5 per cent, of any percent
age howevci small, Is the master who
can legulato the price of corn, wheat
and cotton In the home market, and
In all the markets of the world," Mr.
Allen admits that the federation is a
gigantic tiust, but he sas: "Theie Is
nothing In the charter nor in the by
laws that conflicts with tho Intel state
Commerce law, nor with nnti-tiust
laws of any of the states of the Union.
Its puiposo is not to restrain pioduc
tlon, nor to aibltiarlly fix prices. It
assumes only the power to contiol tho
shipment of farm products and thus
regulate the supply to the demand in
the geneial markets. It theie should
appear to be an overpioductlon, we
would simply sell enough to meet tho
legitimate demands for consumption
and hold back our surplus In our gran
aries and on our farms to meet con
tingencies of shoit ciop seasons."
We shnll know more about this mat
ter after the Farmers' Federation
shall have had some months of actual
life, but on general principles there
appears to bo plausibility in Mr. Al
len's aigument. If concentration of
cffoit Is a good thing for manufactur
ing Industries, leading to economy In
distribution and to the smoothing out
of hurtful business kinks, there would
ffuoin to b(j no teasoii why thu
same rule should not apply In part at
least to tho agricultural Industry,
which Is mainly concerned In distribu
tion. As it Is now, the average far
mer gives no thought whatever to the
qmstlon of holding back his ciop until
the best time has comu for fitting II
to the market demand; and tho result
Is that most of tho pioflts in t'iu
handling of agricultural produce aie
pocketed by the shrewder middle inou,
who
