Prdfkss r Lombroso, an eminent Ital
ian expert in cr'niinolo y, says that as
Wtges increase drunkenness and crime
increase. Lancashire, - England, is
ited as an instance. When the wages
ol miners wi re raised from eight to
eleven shillings a week, the mortality
dne to drunkenness arone from 491 to
1304, and the crimes from 1335 to 3878.
Ir Germany's shortage in wheat and
rye crops is aj great as estimated, that
country will be obliged to import 80 to
100 million bushels of breadstuff's more
than planned fr. In each event, the
industrial classes there who are clamor
ing for lower tariff nn American wheat
and flour would be in a way to greatly
fl'rengthen their fight with the jealoin
agrarian element.
Such great republic in papers a ti e
Chicago Record-Herald and the Chicago
Tribune are advocating anti-trust tariff
bglslation. And even the Chicago Inter-Ocean,
rock-ribbed and everl sting
in its devotion to the republican party,
is getting anx'o is over the commotion
in the republican family. It says some
thing must be done to stay the tide.

Tim value of the country's corn crop
in 1900 was $751,000,000 at farm prices.
The total value of the wheat crop was
$324,000,000, and the value of cereals in
the United Stales, including wheat and
excepting corn, was $585,000,000. This
shows the overshadowing importance of
corn to the American agriculturist as
no amount of talk can show it.
Ti.MiiKii will soon be all gone. The
Northern Pacific Railroad syndicate has
gobbled up thousands of acres with its
Scrip. As a bold tteal this discounts
anything we know uf the kind. And
the worst part of it is that when the job
waB rushed through congress the Ore
gon delegation offered nary a protest.
Salens Independent. Perhaps the Ore
gon delegation was "teen," in conse
quence of which it was both deaf and
blind.
Kki'ukhkstativk Babuock is not walk
ing in the dark. II is proposal that
American manufacturers who can sell
their goods all over tlie world without
protection shall not have a tariff to en
able them to exact from 25 to 100 per
cent more from Americans than from
foreigners shows what is going on in
the Western republican mind. Mr. Mo
Klnley is so tar In touch with that mind
that he knows something is sure to hit
j. the purtv very hard unless the protected
shylocks make some concessions. Chi

In a paper on "The Waste of Public
Money," ex-President Cleveland states
that the ordinary expenses of the gov
ernment, including interest dii the debt,
amounted to $102,000,000 In 1880. 'ihis
increased to $317,000,000 In 1800. This
vast increase is not the result of dis
honesty in handling funds, the sums 1' Bt
in this way are very small, but there is
a sort of recklessness in appropriations
of public money. This lie regards as
one of the most serious evils that
threaten our nation. It extends to every
corner of the republic.
A oiiKAT impetus lias been given to
the consolidation of the various lines of
industry that use iron and steel by the
formation of the United States steel cor
poration. Agricultural implement man
ufacturers are restive in the f. ice of that
giant monopoly, and are disposed to co
operate in Belf-defense. But nearly all
the steel and iron interests outside of
the stoel trust are vastly enlarging their
plants, and altogether it looks like U.
8. steel may have to iace some lively
competition in the near future. If all
these interests outside the trust work in
harmony with consumers, there are
sound reasons for believing that prices
of iron and steel will be kept down to a
reasonable level.

Fortv-beven years ago Macaulay, the
historian, wrote ol America: "Your re
public will be pillaged and ravaged in
the twentieth century. just as the Roman
empire was by the barbarians of the
fifth century, with the difference that
the devastators of the Roman empire,
the Huns and Vandals, came from
abroad, while your barbarians will be

tions. A day will come in the state of
New York when the multitude between
half a breakfast and the hope of half a
dinner will elect your legislators. Is it
possible to have any doubt as to Ihe
kind of legislators that will be elected?
You will be obliged to do those things
which will render prosperity impossible.
Then some Caesar or some Napoleon
will take the reins of the government in
hand."
THE CHEMISTRY OF SOIL.
"Undoubtedly one of the mosi won
derful discoveries of modern chemistry
has to do with the soil," says the N. Y.
Saturday Evening Poft "It has been
ascertained that the most barren land
can be made rich simply by adding to
it certain mineral elements which cost
but little. On this basis it is eetimated
that the United States will be able
eventually to maintain 500,000,000 peo
plemore than one-third of the present
population of the world. It is merely a
question of supplying the requisite quan
tities of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash. The last two are readily ob
tainable at small expense, whereas the
first may be supplied either by furnish
ing to the soil condensed nitrogen in
the shape of slaughter waste or nitrate
of soda or by planting clover, beans or
peas, which have an affinity for nitro
gen and absorb it from. the atmosphere.
It is now known that nitrogen is the
most important plant food, and, inas
much as this element composes four
fifths of the atmosphere, the question is
merely to absorb it into the soil. It has
also come to be understood that only 2
per centof the material of plants is de
rived from the soil, the remaining 98
per cent being drawn from the air and
from water."
Cow-peas, clover, and other legumes
extract free nitrogen from the atmos
phere and deposit it in tho soil in the
form of nitric acid; this can occur only
when minute organisms develop on the
roots, it having 'been demonstrated by
practical tests, in art;flcial cultures, that
the micro-organisms which form small
nodules on the roots of these plants'are
the real nitrogen gatherers, and that
when absent from the roots, peas, clover,
and other eoil improvers have no more
power to secure nitrogen from the air
than other plants; hence, if these micro-organisms
are not in the soil, neither
peas nor clover will increase the nitric
in it. No plant cm get the free nitro
gen from the air which lacks the nodules
on its rqots, in which these nitrogen
feeding plants live. What is understood
by inoculating the soil is adding this ni
tric feeding bacterium by artificial means
to the soils in which it is found to be de
ficient. StOPS THK rot'tlll AM) WOKKSOFF

SUCCESS OF THE CEXTURT.
The Xewspapers Given Due Credit
by the Figprune Cereal Co,
The old ssying that the best article,
properly advertised, will win out in face
of all opposition, has been actually dem
strated by the Figprune Cereal Co. of
San Jose, Oal.
Their cereal coffee ''Hiprune" IB
made from choice California tigs and
prunes and Bound, well ripened grain so
blended that all the nutritive properties
of fruit and graiu are retained.
The beverage made from Figprune is
a distinct revelation to cereal coffee
drinkers because of its delicate Savor
and aroma.
Mr. A. S. Rix, president of the com
pany, in a reevnt interview stated
that the success already attained by
hie company was due, first, to the fact
that Figprune was the best cereal coffee
overproduced; second, that the adver
tising mediums used had been selected
tor tlieir actual merit only the best pa
pers being used.
It is pleasing to note that this paper

As to Socialism
The cry against socialism comes from
those who favor imperalism, wheNier
they are aware of it or not. The more
socalism incorporated Into govern
mental affairs, less strife and more hap
piness will be enjoyed by the entire in
habitants. The more imperialism in
governmental rule less freedom will be
enjoyed, because under such govern
ment the people are frequently com
pelled to obey laws they dislike. By
observation we find the advocates of
monarchy are wealthy men, who serin
to think their property wruld be more
safe under the shadow of a large stand
ing army. Why should the rich fear
the common people, if they have gotten
their wealth honestly, l aving always
practiced the golden rule. The idea of
needing soldiers to protect tlieir treas
ure, warrants a suspicion of unfair deal
ing, and thereby making enemies. It
is evident that the United States govern
ment was founded on the idea of social
ism that every member of society had
equal rights, and cm Id make tlieir own
laws. But the voting members have
suffered themselves to be nearly equally
divided in sentiment, by designing poli
ticians, who have long been teaching
the people erroneous doctrine on finance.
The toilers are m ule to believe Mint
high priced money, that is the rich
man's delight, is also the poor man's
boon, when the reverse is true for the
poor manr It is lamnnlable that tho-e
who create, by their litvd labor, the en
tire wealth in the world, shoul i for tha
most part be ignorant of their rights.
If the producers of the United States
had aot not all along been misled by
false doctrine pertaining to money mat
ters, they would doubtless at the pres
ent time, constitute one of the m st
wealthy clasees in the community, be
cause having a correct knowledge of
finance, they would have secured their
rights by their votes. To denomi
nated civilization Chrii-tian that com
pels the creators of wealth to give two
thirds of their earnings to the non
workers without compensation, is in
deed a misnomer. This condition of af
fairs has been brought about by the
trusting producers, who have been hard
at work, to make a bare livelihood for
themselves, and, therefore, they have
left political economy to the care of the
non-workers, who have generally legis
luted for theii own interest, regardless
of Jlietulers' welfare. If the workers
really want to enjoy the benefit of their
hard earnings, they will be compelled
to organize themselves in.o a non-partisan
voting body in order to redeem their
lost rights. As it is now, most all
other callings get the toilers votes to
build up their interests, while the work
ers interests are left out in tlie cold. If
true socialism prevailed society would
be more humane and amendable to jus
tice, hecau e socialism means friendless,
a government free from compulsion to
all good citizens, and a government
where Mrs. Nation could not find em
ployment. Why are so many editors so spiteful
against socialism? The name is inno
cent. The definition signifies friendless
qualities that would bless any c immun
ity, because equal rights would prevail,
which would insure justice to all. Does
the opposition against socialism come
from the wealthy clas, who see in it
a restraining power that will close the
open door of great profit to the specula
tion in productive industry? If oppo
siiion to socialism is founded upon greed
to get hard earned property for less than
half its value, such opposition cannot be
upheld by honest men. For every hon
est pers n believes that everybody is en
titled to all of his earnings, The 'pro
ducing classes generally seem to be ig
norant of what makes good and bad
times, when tne cause of either con
dition is extremely Bimple, and easily
understood by those who made finance
their Btudy,
Bankers and moneyed men know right
well that a lurge circulating medium of
exchange invariably produces what we
call good times, for then the producers
and all workers are fully employed, and
get well paid for their labor. See the
contrast when a small volume of money
is in circulation, then very low prices
prevail, many men are thrown out of
work, while those who get employment
receive but small pay. Heed not the
(aUe doctrine taught by the minions of
the miney power, who, aie continually
telling us by speech, and by print, that
that there is always enough money in
circulation to make good times. The
cause of dull times and even panics,
they Bay, is mostly owing to luck ol con
fidence. Those false teachers don't sat
isfactorily explain how it is possible
that lack of confidence can exist when a
large volume of money is in circulation.
A plentiful supply of any desirable
thing stimulates us t i have full confi
dence in that tliiim. Money is no ex
ceptional thing. To head pace with
business requirements, the government
ought in some way to furnish on good
security all the money needed to prevent
a stringency in money mattesr. The
government rightlv claims to have the
exclusive right to issue legal money for
that reason it should be required to fur
nish a full supply of it. The law pro
vides a way for collecung debts, but if
there is a dearth of money the debtor
cannot pay, then perhaps valuable prop
erty is sacritied under the hammer, and
in many cases the debtors have lost tlieir
homes, because jf the Bcarcityof money.
Behold, the unreasonableness of the
law, to require the debtor to pay money
that the government fails to furnish.
Another striking case of cruelty requir
ing the producing classes to"make brick
without straw I"

Thinks the wife, to have the wedding ring

Now it slips off by ita own weight. How
