inet, {• a rich farmer. Much of hi*
wealth ha* come from the *oll. He ha*
recently made* study of the condition*
of American Agriculture, and here are
•ome of hi* conclusion*:
The farmer* are making a* much
money a* any other people In the
United States, They don’t jptake aS
much a* they fofmorly ffltr No bu*-
ine*s la. doing that. IVhy, we used to
goi Id-pief cent for money out West on
gUt-edged security. 1 have paid 12
per cent myself, mortgaging the t/estof
real estate to get Lt, arid have made
rhoney out of it. You can now borrow
all the money you want forfl per Cent.
The people are now Cofttented with
small profit*. It is the *ame In the
mercantile busine**. The MtorekeepCf*
used to growl when their profit* were
less than 2o per cent. They lire now
glad to get 8 per cent. The truth i*
that the farmers’ profits Have fallen the
least, and failure* are proportionately
less among them than fimong any other
class of bustritai rifcn. Take this mat
ter of, mortgaged farms. These farm
ers are doing business on borrowed eap-
tfit, and now and tbrn eote of them
fails. The majority of the merchants
do their business the same way, mid 90 1
percent fail at sometime fn their Jives.
1 believe the percentage of failures in
theUry goods businessTs fully as high
as it? per irent. The majority of the
farmers succeed. They pay tholr ex-
penaei, and in the end own their farms.
-Tiic troiihlo with many of our farm
ers Is that they are too apt to put ail
their eggs into one basket. They ifo not
diversify their crop*, and the failure of
I a single staple causes the rdiu of the
j whole *«>ctlon. There is a vast market
] for the American farmer in foreign'
lands which lias not yet been touched.

Rev. Thomas Dixon, the young

picture of journalism in Gotham. He
says that all the great dailies are mere
money makers, having their price, cx-

Continuing, Judge Earle referred to
the condition of polities in this State.
Many of you, no dotthf, remember, he
,*aid, when 1 was-a candidate against
Oovsnini*' Tillman. When Mr. Till-
tnail was nominated, I took the posi
tion that hej wa* the nominee , of the
Democratic party and when hi? mw
elected, I took the position that lie wa*
the Governor oTNhe State and should
ho rtspeiftod as sucli. At that time
there was gre:A ex itetnent all over the-
State. The people were* dissatisited
with the existing stateof affair*. They
’ were tired of their old men aftd^wanteil
new men. l am not prepared tq say
that the agitation has not beau, A o/
benefit to the State. But of that, peK.
haps, it is not necessary to go into de
tails. I am before you not as a Reform

New Zealand and Australia are crowd

vast quantities to England, and selling
it there for a shilling a pound. Within
four years the consumption of butter in

Points On Hogs.
“How about meat, Mr. Secretary? is
not that market well eated for?”
“No,” replied MrrMorton, “the meat
market is not half w orked. We ship
great quantities* to Europe, but we do
not get die best prices. Take our bacon.
[ It bring* 9eeuts-a prmnd-lM-JCngJond-.
The Danish bacon sell* for 14 een’s a
i |iound, and the famous Wilkshlre bacon
i is worth 18 cents a pound. Had we
gotten the best prices our bacon would
j have been wojth nearly $10,000,000
I more to us than it was last year. ‘The
j English like a lean bacon, and packers
j there buy bogs according to tlie tlilck-
ness of the fat upon their back*. A'
hog that lias fat two and- one-fourth
i'iches thick brings a shilling more i>er
20 pounds of its weight than a hog
whose fat on the back is three inches
thick. The English want lean swine.
They will not buy ary hogs that weigh
more than ‘MO pound*, as tifey know
that bacon-from such hog*-is not in de
mand. Here our amhitiop is to raise
fat hog*, and I have seen car loads of
swine which will average tOOYedndS’in
weight. Still we have a great trade in
farm products with England. Fully
half of all our foreign exportsrgo there.
We send more (Jjan 100,000 tons of hay
and more than 80,000 tons of cheese to
Great Britain every year. We serrd on
ly 2,000 ton* of butter, and Denmark
beats,«s in this article-alone by 43,000
tons yearly,
“The trouble with us is that we are
too luxurious in our method*. We
have been umk-’iig money so easily that
we enn’t appreciate the change in con
ditions Hie w orld over, arid We have not
tried to adapt ourselves to them. Our
farmers are machine farmers. They
.raise practically nothing tiiat cannot
be raised by machinery. Take the mat
ter oJ'wjieUf. Ti e farmer now rides
the plo.T as he breaks the soil. He rides
a* he harrows and he plants his field

A steam engine doe* tlie threshing,
and a small part of the straw' forms tlie
fuel whtclr-tnakes the steam. A*ft this
is expensive, and if the vi lieat brings a
low price, or tlierc is a crop failure, the
farmer runs behind. He does not
watch the small leaks-and In does not
raise tlie iittle thingswhk'h'-par-so well.
Take thuxmlpn errip. Onions alwmys

Of course, she got It, hut think how lit

sometimes to their wives, continued

hut other men as well. Woman U
naturally a self-sacriticlng creature,
and she submits try fnahy a thing a man
would not (hink of tolerating. Speak
ing of little meannesses, let me give
sou an incident that 1 saw myself du-
riug the days of the war. I happened
to oe In a store ?ff my town one day,
wheri an ohl fellow whom I will call
Jones came In with bis wife to buy
spme goods. This man Jones came
from one of the morft celebrsted families
in the United States. He settled in
Nebraska when it wa* still a Territory,
arid by economy and thrift he had now
gotten a farm of somcthing-like 1,(XX>
acres. He was knowrr to IrttVe money
in tlie hank, and was considered
wealthy. Well, shortly after he co
tter ed the store Mrs, Jones took up a
'place of calico and admired it very
4quch. As she looked at it, she said
to her hii*baudi r '
‘‘I’a, I ought lo have a new dress,
and I like this very much. Don’t you
think ww could afford to buy it1* y
‘‘fffi, j suppose *o,” replied the old
man, and he thereupon asked the clerk
the price. He was told it was 60 cents
a yard. Old Mr- Jones raised his eyes
at this, ami asked ids wife how much it
would take. She replied she didn’t
think she could get along on less than
12 yardsi and he aTiswered:
“Why. lint, 12 yards of that goods at
M) cents s. yard would cost $ii. Now,
riorr’t you think that that is pretty
high?”
“Yes,” she replied, “J do, but I need
the dress.”
-’‘•WelL setd the oM rtiari. times are
ban]', ah.V I do wish you could get
along without it just now. Could
you?”
“Y'c*,T snppnTfc f could,” replied the
old lady with a sigh, andMie calico was
dropped.
A moment later old M*. Jones asked
the >ame cleric if he had any tobacco,
and whether lie had any of tiiat good
old Virginia leaf, which they used to
keep in stock.
The clerk-aid: “Y'es, we havi*, but
it’s awful high. It’s $2 a pruud, and I
think Jttflll go higher before it gets
less. We have just one caddy left.” ’
“Yon think it will go higher?” re
plied Jones.
“Yes said the clerk', it’s sure tb go
up.”
‘‘Well,.you might put me up five
pounds,” said the old man, and a mo
ment later 1 saw him carrying it out of
the store. He had not $<! to spend for
his wife’s calico dress, but he thought
nothing of puuingTIOInto plug
co. This is a sample of the kind of
treatment some wives are receiving
everyday. 1 don’t suppose old Mr.
Jones realised his selfiHhness. Me
prota’ ly loved his wife,' but he had
been brought upthg wrong way.
