Presidential year has come, and the extreme partisans are again busily en deavoring, as in 11)02, to persuade Americans that our country Is going behind, that we are losing ground and that by the free surrender of our mar kets.the best in the world, we shall somehow gain at least the beginnings of an export trade which so far we have failed to obtain. No figures, no specific statements ever accompany these statements, for i.i' all easy tasks the easiest is to con vince any man that he has a grievance that the government should somehow remedy. Now, what are the facts? In 1892 these same resident allies of foreign steamship lines and foreign commission houses succeeded In the elections. They broke down the tariff anil under Mr. Cleveland established the Wilson tariff. In 1802, the last year of Republican supremacy, our exports were worth $1,015,732,0i1. The suc cess of the free trade and free silver combination in 1802 struck public coutl deuce a shattering blow. Industry lan guished. Exports and production fell off together, and at the end of four years of business agony and panic prices, when in 1890 anything was sold at any price, thereby greatly though unhealthily stimulating export sales of manufactures, our total sales were still no larger than in 1892. Since 1890 they have steadily increased, showing an in crease of 58 per cent in seven years. Here arc the figures: UNITED STATES DOMESTIC EXPORTS. Manufactures.

Ilearst as a presidential candi date. Eight years have passed since Bryan began saving the country with his month, and it is plain enough now that the country is safe. Just keep on saving the country with your u.oiu':. Billy. Since this talk has got start< 1 about the Items getting their Candida < from the south Senator Gorman <•: Maryland is laying particular stre.. upon the statement that he is a sour em man. Some of the poetically incline Hearst boomers are trying to work oil n beautiful story 011 the strength of tin fact that "Hearst" rhymes with "first." Now, mister, just get your rhyming dictionary and follow up the subject :i little farther and you will find th \t "Hearst" also rhymes with "worst." "burst," "thirst" and "cursed." That gives your beautiful picture a some what different appearance, doesn't it V Mr. Bryan in a recent address re marked that "society is in danger." What makes you think so. Billy? So ciety has withstood the bombardment of the Bryanlte air gun for a long time, and we hardly think society will come in contact with anything much worse than that.—Moravian Falls (N. C.)

Spell it (limit, not demit =============== ; Conducted by J. W. DARROW, Chatham. N. Y., Press Correspondent yew York State i Grange GRANGE SCHOLARSHIPS. New York nnd SfW llampnlilrr Put ting; the Plan Into Operation. At the lust annual session of the New York state grange a resolution was adopted to appropriate from the state grange funds S2OO annually for four scholarships, to be given to members of the Order, In any of the agricul tural courses at Cornell university. A similar movement, looking to the edu cational interests of farmers' sons and daughters, has been Instituted in New Hampshire also. Beginning with the opening of the college year, Sept. 7, 1904, each subordinate and Pomona grange in New Hampshire will have the privilege of appointing one student annually to a free scholarship In any of the four year or two year courses in the college, each appointment to lie good for four years if in a four year course, or for two years if in a two year course. Students holding these scholarships will be relieved from paying the annual tuition fee of SOO, but will not be relieved from payment of Incidental or other fees. Women may hold these scholarships 011 the same terms as men. The method of appointment Is entirely at the option of the grange. It may be by election, competitive examination or otherwise. These scholarship appropriations are quite in lino with the avowed purpose of the grange to help the farmer and his family. In those states where funds will permit, we doubt if more practicable good can be accomplished with an appropriation of $2iK) to SSOO than in this manner. It Is expected that these scholarships in New York stute are to be awarded as the result of competition between granges. The following plans have been suggested and seem likely to be adopted In their essential features: First.—Scholarship to be awarded to the county showing the largest per centage increase in membership dur ing the year. Second.—Scholarship to be awarded to the county showing the largest per centage increase in new granges. Third.—Scholarship togo to the subordinate grange showing the lar gest percentage increase in member ship and attendance. Fourth. Scholarship to be awarded to the boy or girl having the best record for scholarship and best attend ance at grange. GRANGE SUPPORT NEEDED. A Hill Before CongreMn In Which I'urmt-rn Are Interested. In the bill now before the ways and means committee of the house of rep resentatives, introduced by Mr. Bou tf 11 of Illinois, "to free from internal revenue tax alcohol made unfit for use us u beverage," farmers have a two fold interest sufficient, as the Country Gentleman remarks, to make it worth while to exert a vigorous effort In every grange to secure its passage. Ethyl alcohol (the potable variety) Is in this country largely made from corn. It can be sold at a profit (with out the tax) at a mere fraction of the present cost; wood (methyl) alcohol costs a great deal more to make, but is now sold cheaper because of the heavy Internal revenue tax, amount ing to $2.07 a gallon, on grain uicohol. It has been found perfectly feasible, by the Introduction of wood alcohol and other poisons, to destroy the po table quality of grain alcohol, to de naturalize it, without injuring its util ity in the arts. If the tax on alcohol so treated were abolished, it would undoubtedly come into general use to take tiic place of gasoline in engines and motor cars, and to take the place of kerosene for illuminating purposes (by meuns of the Welsbach mantle). This is what the Boutell bill (H. R. 9302) proposes to do, and naturally it would give us a greatly increased mar ket for our corn. There is 110 guess work about this. The system is now employed In Germany, and has been since 1887, with marked success. I.et Patrons take the matter up. We suggest that subordinate granges adopt resolutions similar to this of Newark (N. Y.) grange. No. 300, and forward them to their representatives at Washington: Whereas, Congressman Boutell of Chica go has Introduced In the national congress a 1)111, known as house bill No. 9302, which has for its object the manufacture and sale of alcohol, free of revenue tax, ren dered unlit for drinking purposes by the addition of wood alcohol or other polson otis compounds; and, Whereas, alcohol free of internal reve nue tax would be of great commercial Im portance In the use of arts and manufac tures, permitting the manufacturers of tills country to compete with foreign manu facturers In the production of many ar ticles now rendered prohibitive by the high tax on alcohol; and, Whereas, Untaxed alcohol would be of great value to the public for fuel, light and motive power and would give to the farmers a new market for all starchy products, such as corn, wheat and pota toes; therefore, be It Resolved, That Newark grange, No. 360. P. of H.. hereby urge our senators nnd congressmen to support and vote for house bill No, 9302; and, be it further Resolved, Thj't the lecturer be and Is hereby Instructed to forward a eopy of these resolutions to each of the United States senators and the congressman from this district.
