THE BRITISH FARME The lot of the farmers of England is not am enviable one. For years tho ag- ultnral industey of that country has been depressed and the conditions this year are reported toshe the worst for long time. It is said that cve " runs far below the average and that land is steadily going out of cultivation in England, the farmers bheing unable to the low prices and foreign compe tition and being also harassed by high rents and restrictions upon methods of agriculture. Under such circumstances it is not surprising that Parliament is urgently appealed to for legislation in the interest of the farmers, though what it can do to help them is a problem with almost insurmountable ditficulties, Undoubiedly there will always be farmitig done in Great Britain, but the outlook for those engaged in it seems (o grow more hopeless from year to There is a different story regarding British manufacturing interests, due to the benefits they have received from our new taril. A London correspond- nt says that while the farming indus. | tries are slowly bleeding to death, man- ufacturing is prospering, owing to the improvement of the American trade, The manufactur nters are all ac- tive. We have heretofore noted the | marked revival in the woolen and cot | ton industries, due altogether to the favor shown them by our present tariff, It appears that the British manufac | turers of earthenware have been also greatly benefited, Tt Is stated on the authority of the correspondent of a London paper that there is great ac- tivity in the potteries of Hanley, Burs- lem, Tunstall and other points “in con sequence of the revival of trade with Awmerica, exports indicating the largest | shipments for many years” The statis [ ties of our own burcau show that since the present tariff law went into effoct the importations of earthenware hav, neavly doubled and evidently a proportion has come from the potteric of England, many of which w | before the new tavil went Into effect, | It was not in the power of the demg ¢ congress to do anything to help the British agriculturist, except as he have been aided by the sthnula tion of British mavufacturing, and probably Lis condifion would be worse than it is but for this. Americans can feel commiseration for the struggling farmers of Great Britain, whose lot is oune of hard toil that brings’ no ade lquule reward and whose outlook is al ¢ | sfon is OMAHA DAILY BE sther dismal and gloomy.

Perhiaps there never was a convention or conference of any pretensions held in this country which commanded so little attention as the meeting of free silver men in Washington last wee 1t is the statement of all the trust- worthy correspondents at the national capital that this conference was a dis- appointment to its organizers and quite much of disappointment to a number of the delegates, who traveled a long distance to attend under the impression that it was to be a great national gathering, rep- resentative of demoeratic free silver evin age sentiment, and which by its size and the prominence and character of the men in attendance would revive the waning silver sentiment. Instead of this the gathering was of small proportions and most of the prominent democrats who were expected to be present found ex s for remaining away. So complete a fiasco must have effect to still further weaken the silver cause, but it must not be con- clnded that the more zealous of the ehampions of that cause will be wholly discouraged by it. They are used to discomfitures and disappointments and while they may D pected 1o Keep quiet for a time, or make lexs noise than usual, they will be heard from again. Still, there can be no question that the free silver propaganda is rap- idly losing ground and will continue to do so, but none the less it is bound to 1 no little trouble in the next dem- ocratic national convention. the free THE TENTH STREET DEPOT GHOST.
