CROPS ARD PROSPERITY. The certainty of liberal harvests and the indications of & demand at hom: abroad that will sustain prices at a highly satisfactory polnt, give assurance for this year is placed at $2,362,000, against $1,681,000,000 in 1001, an crease of $681,000,000. Buropean crops. - We have 1 ¢rop and 0la wheat 85,000,000 bushels less to dls- of six European countries are estimated to be 100,000,000 bushels bettér than last year and In addition Russia bhas an unusually good crop. Australia has ported no wheat since May: and the ex ports from Argentina since the begin- ning of the year have been conmsider- ably less than last year. The last Indfan crop was not quité equal to the average local requirements. Last year our ex- ports of corn were 150,000,000 bushels and of oats 27,000,000 bushels, less than in the previous year due sfmply to'the fact that we had not the grain to sell. The Journal of Commerce says: “Buro- pean demands for both these grains may be expected to be as good duridg the coming year as usual . 'Although the wheat crop is smaller ‘than lust year and it would not be strange If the price of corn declined, yet these three cereals ~wheat, corn and oats—can hardly fail to be worth $400,000,000 ‘more ‘thait last year and may easily be worth a good deal more than $500,000,000 above last year., The farmers are likely to have money to spend.” If the estimated value of this year's cereal crops be added to the value of other products of the farm, on the basis for the past year, it will be found that the farmers will bave & great deal of money to spend. Already more pros- perous as a whole than at any previous time, the rewards of their labor in pros- pect will put them in condition to cop- tribute more liberally than ever before to the general prosperity. The addition to the wealth of the country frofy’this year’s agricultural production will prob- al be larger than .in any previous yéar. while the contribution to the na- tion's wealth by the manufacturing ip- dustries {) not likely to be lgss than for several years past.

The hard coal trust today undoubtedly s giving the Amerioan people & most per- Riclows demonstration of the manner In which even the best of institutions may be turned to an evil use. Coal i& & ready-made product. If the grains whereby men live required naither planting nor cultivation—grew spontan- eously and had merély to be harvested— they would be the same sort of matural product as coal. The historic argument in favor of private ownership of such natural produots is that 1t stimulates enterprise and competition be- tween producers and thus benefits the peo- ter ‘The historie argument against publie ownership of such - products is that by eliminating competition it stifies enter- prise and thus compels the people to ac- copt higher prices, poorer service, or both. Now, the coal irust, having first brought anthracite coal under privats ownership,, has formed a monopo! eliminated of petition, and stified enterprise, thus priving the people of the benefits prom- Ised in return for permitting such private ownership. It has donme more and worse. It has absolutely falled to comply with the comdition upon which private owner- ship of coal is justified, and for mounths ness with the sole purpose of getting the largest possible profits from the people. Then, Naving quarreled with its employes over the divislen of (he profits, it Bas cessed to perform the service upon which private ownership s conditioned. Half o domen men virtually say to an entire nation: “It we cannot perform this serviee exactly as we ploase, we shall let it go unperformed.” Every man who belleves private owner- | ity ship beneficlal, &s every sane man does, finds the ground cut from under his feet in the case of the coal trust. Before the tost fanatical socialist he must, in this e of “enterprise,” self-interest,” his antagoniet points to the coal trust and he is silenced. He has not an ahswer, for the coal trust has deprived him of any. ‘Upon every economic théory advanced slnce the days of Turgot, the condust of the coal trust is Ind Je.

Texas has the largest number, 246, and Delaware the smallest number, 3. A New York democrat, realizing the im- portance of & bar’l In & campaign, wants his party to nominste Andrew Carnegle for gov- ernor. For more than sixty years John H. Reagan s held positions of honor and trust in Texas and now he is going to retire. He will go out of office a poor man. During & joint debate dowh in Virginia recently one of the aspirants for office olosed an eloquent peroration by jumping from the stage and polishing an offensive objector. Lieutenant Governor Tim Woodruff of New York declines another engagement as second fiddler on the republican ticket. This will eliminate the ornate Vest as & campaign slogan. John G, McCullough of Bennington, re- publican candidate for governor of Vermont, ‘was at the head of the delegation from that state to the republican national convention in 1900 which nominated William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt. There bave been three national conven- tlons in St. Louls, the democratic in 1876, the democYatic in 1888 and the republican in 1896. The Business Men’s league of St. Louis has been at work since postpone- ment of the world’s fair until 1904 to secure, it possible, both the democratic and the re- publican natienal conventions two years pal pects w! if congressional candidates carry out the plan of campaigning by means of the auto- o bill ‘which husetts legislature that most of the credit due to his wite, who, of the Malden school and the ‘mother of five chiidren. erection of the state capitol have been called for, When by & subscquest leglblature.
