Interesting Predictions by Ex-Post mas

Future of Agriculture.
tion.]
A few years ago Mr. Gladstone favored
tho American public with the prediction
that in A. D. 3000 the United States would
have 600,000,000 inhabitants, basing his cal
culation on the fact that in the course of
tho last century tho population of our re
public had increased 1,300 per cent.
He might as wuil have inferred that a
pine tree 011 its twentieth birthday would
be a mile high because in the first ten
years of its existence it hail grown from an
inch to a height of twelve yards.
In some of the eastern states tho rate of
progress has even now fallen to one-third
of its initial velocity, and will undergo an
additional reduction as the average density
of population approaches that of the trans
atlantic hives of industry. It is true that
the delta of the Mississippi is more fertile
than tho richest bottomlands of the lower
Danube; but, on the other hund, it is equal
ly certain that the desolation of our west
ern alkali deserts is unparalleled in the
dreariest steppes of eastern Russia, and,
drawing the balance of probabilities, there
is no reason to believe that in 1993 the popu
lation of our present national territory will
exceed 300,000,000.
Politiailly our federation of states will
by that time comprise Canada and prob
ably Mexico to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec,
which, before the end of the next three deo
ndes, will bo crossed by a ship railway.
Tho center of population will before long
change its westward line of progress to the
southwest and south. Tho climatic su
periority of the southern uplands and the
unrivaled wealth of their natural resources
will ultimately turn tho scales against
every combination ex prejudice.
Cotton will be spun where it grows,
sleepy old country towns will be roused by
the scream of tho locomotive, and the ter
race lands from tho Ohio to tho upper Rio
Grande will be covered with orchards and
villas. The thirty-fourth parallel will cross
the center of that garden region, and it is
not improbable that some industrial em
porium of tho "Piedmont country"—per
haps Birmingham, Ala.—will become the
great city of the future.
Beforo the middle of the Twentieth cen
tury the increasing frequency of summer
droughts will confront the farmers of our
middle states with the alternative of ruin
or forest culture. The reckless destruction
of woodlands has never failed to make the
summer drier aud warmer and the winter
floods more destructive, but Anglo-Amer
ican common sense will find means to ar
rest the progress of an evil which has
turned the Eden of western Asia into a
desert aud reduced the productive area of
our planet one-third. Every country road
will bo lined with shade trees.
Forest reservations will comprise the
upper ridges of all our east American
mountain ranges, and large areas of the arid
west will be redeemed by a multitude of
orchard farms, for there is no doubt that
the exigencies of overpopulation will even
tually suggest the substitution of perennial
for annual food plants. Breadstuff's, as
well as sugar and vegetable oils, will to a
large extent be derived from trees that en
rich the soil with their fertilizing leaves
and outlive their cultivators, whose labor
they will limit to the pleasant work of the
harvest month, and protect him against the
worst plaguqpf the plains by affording shel
ter to myriads of insectivorous birds.
In the Atlantic states competition for de
sirable tracts of real estate will before long
grow fierce, and within the next thirty
years events will prove that, while the risk
of a religious war has been greutly over
rated, the danger of a war of races has been
quite as much underrated. The progress
of education is gradually assimilating the
intelligent classes of all creeds, but race in
stincts are less transient than dogmas, and
the negro problem will vet loom up as the
black specter of the North American conti
nent.
North of tho Tennessee river Sambo
Africauus will vanish as soon as the in
crease of population brings him iuto seri
ous competition with European immi
grants, but thero are regions where cli
matic conditions favor tho chance of his
survival. On tho Rio Grande tho aborig
ines and Plthiopians may coalesce against
tho north. Caucasian races and the strug
gle for supremacy will involve frequent ap
peals to tho arbitrament of force.
To conclude with a few miscellaneous
predictions: The problem of aerial investi
gation will be solved within the next twen
ty years. Transcontinental mails will be
forwarded by means of pneumatic tubes.
Tho perils of ocean navigation will bo
ned by the introduction of
companion steamers, starting pairwise and
maintaining communication by a system of |
fog bells anil electric refnictors, and in 1993
millions of dwelling houses will be artifi
cially cooled in summer, as they aro now |
heated in winter.
F. L. OSWALD, M. D I
Senator I'cflcr Is No Pessimist.
With tho record of the past to study wo
have reasonable ground for believing that
men will grow wiser, better and purer in
the years to come; that our perception of
human rights will be more acute as the
field of view grows wider and our vision
becomes clearer through knowledge; that
the common weal will he tho chief end ot
government, the ballot of the poor will be
counted and the popular will will be law;
that women will share with ineu all the
duties of citizenship, land tenure will be
uniform, the drumshop extinct, war abol
ished and the people sovereign.
We are many times deceived by what we
see because we see so little. We wince and
groan under tho exactions of wealth com
bined, yet in combination lies the highest
form of exertion. Self love is the greatest
of civilizing forces, yet the trend of life is
vpward. In promoting the comfort of oth
ers we find the richest sources of reward.
While private monopoly in manufactures,
transportation anil banking has shown the
power of organized avarice to rob labor and
oppress the poor, multiplicity of inventions,
variety of modes and expertness in appliear
tion have wouderfully increased tho effi
ciency of labor, diminished the cost of pro
duction and added much to the comforts of
men. Steam and electricity have conquered
space and time, commerce brings tho na
tions together and intelligence simplifies
trade. Thought is taking from religion its
repellent mysteries and association de
mands an international tongue.
So far will we have gone in 1993 that all o*
North America will be under one govern
ment, managed by a council consisting of a
few men. Our great lakes and rivers will
pour their waters through numberless chan
nels for easy carriage of heavy things. The
people will own and manage all instru
ments of commerce, every means for sup
plying public needs, all sources of fuel sup
ply and all unused lauds. Lines of traflic
will bo straightened and highways im
proved, speed increased and safety secured;
men will navigate the air and smoke will
be suppressed.
Motion will supply light, heat and power,
and there will bo no waste of fuel; money
changers will be shorn of their power, for
then money will be made of cheap and
abundant material and limited to its proper
uses; there will be no usury nor mortgages
—the year of jubilee will have come; large
landed estates will have disappeared, one
acre of arable land will support one person;
justice will be dealt to all alike and taxa
tion will be limited to natural sources of
livelihood—as land and water; the time of
daily toil will be shortened to four or five
hours; all willing bauds will be employed
and effort will be ease.
Onward and upward will move the mul
tiplying millions of earth, impelled by indi
vidual selfishness to minister to one an
other's wants till trade is free and men's
leading ambition will be to servo one an
other. Then the nations will be one, strikes
will bo unknown and poverty forgotten.
Great private fortunes will become historic,
for men will have learned the art of just dis
tribution, and there will bo enough for all.
W. A. PEFFKR.
Professor llriggs on Sunday Newspapers.
LFrora Our Now York Correspondent.]
Professor Briggs does not aire to say
much about the results of what is called
the higher criticism upon religious thought
In the next century, although it is known
that he believes that before many years
have passed accurate scholarship, exhaust
ive research aud intelligent criticism will
be welcomed ns an aid rather than a hin
drance to religious development. There is
one thing, however, about which Professor
Briggs has spoken to your correspondent
freely, and that is the power of the press. He
said:
I have learned since the proceedings in
which my writings have been involved to
realize more than 1 ever did before what
the power and influence of the newspaper
press are. 1 have found that its desire is to
report great events in tho religious as well
as other fields of activity fully and with
accuracy, and I have no doubt that this
tendency will continue. If it does, tho in
stitution is to have greater influence in the
future than in tho past.
But I have been especially interested in
the development of the Sunday press,
which is comparatively recent. At first I
was prejudiced against it, and I would not
permit any reading of these Sunday news
papers. Whether it is regrettable or not, 1
now realize that the Sunday press is a per
manent institution; thut thousands of re
ligious people recognize and approve it, aud
that it can be made a power for vast good.
My hope and belief is that in the next
century it will bo cultivated by persons of
high character nnd be made one of the en
gines for the dissemination of religious nnd
moral truths and information, so that per
sons of such Inclination can rely upon it for
those things which they desire, and mean
while its influence will reach in this direc
tion others who are not of religious disposi
tion.
I think that good men, recognizing that
the Sunday press has come to stay, will
undertake to make it an influence for good,
as unquestionably it can become. Its tend
ency is certainly in the right direction, for
the Sunday press contains now matter suit
able for the reading of those of moral and
religious inclination, and there are sermons
to be found in many of the uews reports
printed in these issues.
Secretary Kusk on the Future of Agri
culture.
Will our soil and methods of agriculture
I improve so as to provide food without difll
culty for all our population in 11)93?
It would tako the gift of prophecy to an
swer that inquiry, and though I bear a
prophet's name and am a Beventh son I <
never found myself gifted in the prophetic
line. I can give you my opinion as to the
probable relative production of this coun
try when all its available land is subject to
tillage, but who is going to tell me what
our population will bo in 1993? I see that a
writer in a recent magazine estimates that j
it may be 1,000,(XX),000 in 1990, but I cannot :
help thinking that in making such an csti- |
mate he lias indulged a littlo too much in !
prophecy for ordinary men endowed with
but the usual number of senses.
As to the possible productiveness of this
country, I would not hesitate to affirm that
not more than one-fourth of the land avail
able for tillage in the United States is now
under cultivation. Consequently, without
any further improvements in agricultural
methods and with no moro care than is ex
ercised at present, the mere extension of
tillage to all the avniluble land would mul
tiply our production fourfold.
Now, I have already more thau once ex
pressed the conviction that the yield per
acre of most of our staple crops could be in
creased simply as the result of better farm
ing and the application of the best methods
now available by 50 per cent. Suppose this
improvement to take phice and you hnvo a
sixfold increase of our present production,
j Now, then, much of the land which remains
! to bo brought under cultivation must be
, cultivated by means of irrigation or ro
! claimed by drainage, and we know that
I when land is cultivated under the condi
tions necessary to make theHo lands avail
| able the yield is greatly in excess of that
which is cultivated by the ordinary meth
ods.
All these factors must be taken into ac
count In estimating our possible future pro
duction, and we have not yet touched upon
what inventive genius and science may
discover in the interest of greater produc
tion and diminished waste in the next hun
dred years; but in the light of what these
agencies have accomplished in the past hun
dred years, whether the population of this
country a hundred years hence will be a
thousand million souls or not, 1 think 1
have suid enough to relieve your mind of
any anxiety lest your children or your chil
dren's children should have to go hungry
for want ef sufficient productiveness of
j United States soil. There is one thing more
you must remember, and that is that be
fore our own people go hungry we will
1 Btop exporting foot) products, and the uver-
I age exports of the put year or two would
feed quite a number of hungry young
Americans.
As regards exporting food products, while
no one can realize more than I do the im
portance of our export trade, 1 would of
course rather see our own demand increase
to the extent of consuming all we produce
at. home, and this suggoHts to me that
there is a good deal of wild talk about
shutting off completely all immigration
from Kuropean countries. Discrimination
as to the class of emigrants that we should
welcome to our shores is all very well, but
we must not forget that this country waj
built up by immigration very largely, and
1 for one shall never favor the exclusion of
foreigners who come to this country with
the honest, intention of becoming American
citizens and bettering their condition in life
by honest labor.
Between you and nie. when 1 hear people
croaking about the possible dependence of
the United States in the near future upon
foreign countries for its food supply I am
inclined to use a slang expression, and ad
mit that they make mo very, very tired.
J M. HUSK.
Ex-Postmaster General James Predicts e.
Perfect Postal Service.
When we remember that it is only a
quarter of a century since the railway postr
ollice was established, and less than that
since the free delivery in the largest cities
was begtin, that it is only ten years since
the postage was reduced from three cents
to two cents, we can understand how rap
idly the development of the great postal
system of the United States is going on.
The Twentieth century is going to see u
marvelous fruitage from the seeds which
have been sown since our civil war. The
first of those harvests will bo, 1 think, a de
livery of mails in which the speed of the
telegraph will bo almost rivaled. 1 think
it is going to bo possible for business rncu
of New York and Philadelphia to cornniu
nicato by mail as easily in business bouts
as tho merchants of those cities could wit h
one anot her.
I think it is quite likely that it will be
possible for the merchants of the Mississip j
pi valley to send a letter to their corre j
spondents on tho Atlantic coast in the
morning and receive an answer in time for
business purposes upon the following day.
possibly upon tho same day. I think it is
quite likely that fast mails ruuniug from |
sixty to seventy-five miles an hour will be
found upou all of the trunk lines. But in
addition to this 1 think that scientific and
Inventive genius is going to devise a system
of mail carriage which will deliver mails
perhaps at twice this speed. Distances are
being cut down for passenger trallic, and
the mails follow rapidly the examples of
high speed.
I think that in the next century it is go
ing to be possible perhaps for every citizeu
of the United States to have his mail do
livered by free carrier at his door. Already
we have taken vast strides since the estnb
lishment of the carrier system, and with
the facilities for communication increased
at tho tremendous rate which now char
acterizes these movements it ought to he
possible in the next century for every citi
zen, 110 matter where he lives, to receive his
mail at his doorstep and without cost.
Tho citizens who live in the next century
are not going to pay two cents for a letter
postage stamp. The price will be reduced
to one cent, and perhaps by the beginning
of tho next century. The government has
never made and does not want to make
money out of tho postal service, it only
wants that tho postal department shall lie
self sustaining, and the people will get the
benefit of tho profits. With the enormous
increase in business which is sure to come,
the revenues of the government will by and
by be sufficient to justify the reduction of
letter postage to one cent.
Ocean postuge is going to be reduced so
that we are to have penny postage, or a two
cent Htamp will forward a letter to any part
of Europe. The ocean mail service will be
improved until it becomes us systematic
and regular as is the postal service of to
day. There is another thing which is sure
to come in the next century, and that is
ppstal savings banks. There will be objec
j tion to this from some quarters, but my
impression is that the people are bound to
mukosuch use of tho post office department.
THOMAS L. JAMES.
How They Will Dress in 1003.
I regard the present date as the climax of
fashion in dress. While it has taken several
hundred years to work up to it, the decliue
will bo far more rapid. Man has simply
been goaded to a point of desperation, and a
change is bound to occur. 1 have already
given an order on the downward slide and
in a couple of weeks shall appear as u
pioneer in the new movement. Wo shall
not only restore the dress of our great
grandfathers before we stop, but run the
costumes of Adam and Eve a pretty close
shave.
Man wears too much cloth, and that
cloth is cut up into too many shapes. The
20,000,000 men of the United States are
wearing an average of twenty buttons each,
making 400,000,000 buttons for all, est!
mated to weigh 23,000,000 pounds. Five
buttons can be made to answer every pur
pose, even at this day. Fifty years hence
the number will be reduced to two or three
pieces of iishline, or tarred rope may be
made to answer every purpose. My great
grandfather used horse nails in place of
buttons, and 1 don't begin to bo as rich,
handsome and healthy as he was.
Collar% cults, neckties, starched shirts,
sleeve buttons and underwear aro of mod
eru origin. The idea of the inventors was
to keep down the population by making
man kill his fellow man, and it has been a
success. Darius, the great and wise king
of Persia, never had a shirt in his seventy
two years of life, and 1 don't propose to set
myself up as being a heap better man than
old Darius. There is no record that George
Washington ever even saw a suit of flan
nels, and yet he managed to wallop the
British anil hold down the White Ilouse to
the general satisfaction of the country.
Not one of the pilgrim fathers lauded in
this country with socks on his feet or col
lars and tails ou his coat. Any artist who
puts coattails on a pilgrim father ought to
be sent to jail for his ignorance. Those
things were not only accounted us superflu
ous, but positively unhealthy. The coats
were tailless and coHarless, and one wooden
button was considered all that was ueces
sary. Are we any healthier than the pil
! grim fathers? Can we run faster, jump
higher or stow away more corned beef and
cabbage at a dinner?
Hannibal never had a sock on his foot
lie never saw a vest. Had a man come
I fooling around him with a starched shirt
i there would have been a sudden death,
j Had he been told that the day would come
when a civilized being would have to buy
at least three shilling neckties per year
to be in the swhn he would have called
I that man a liar and a home thief. Am I a
better man than Hannibal? Can 1 have
the cheek to characterize him as a slop
shop dresser?
I Woman will keep right on until every
one of her suits costs a milliou dollars apiece,
but man is hound to return to the simplici
ty of Biblical days. Sandals, a toga and a
cheap straw hat will replace the costumes
now worn. Sandals will strike us as rath
er cool for January, and togas and straw
hats will bother us some at first with a
blizzard whooping around, but in time the
change will give general satisfaction, and
we will look hack in contempt and disgust
upon the costumes of today. My straw hat
and sandals are finished, and my toga is to
he sent home next week. How they will
take it along Broadway is more than 1 can
, tell, but some one must pioneer the way,
and 1 shall fall—to l>e remembered and
blessed. M. QUAD
