THE FARMERS' DAY COMING.
Few of us realize the vast work
undertaken by the Russian govern
ment in the building of the great
trans-Asiatic railroad through Si
beria, and fewer yet have the re
motest idea of the effect the comple
tion of this road will have, not only
on Siberia, but on the world. It is
iuite probale this great road, nearly
4,000 miles long, will be completed
with the century. The treaty re
cently made with China, by which
.an open harbor the year tound has
been acquired, will stimulate the
building of the road and the conse
quent settlement of Siberia. ,
"We have all of us been taught tc
look upon Siberia much as we looked
upon the Dakotas, Nebraska and
Kansas, as portions of the great
American desert, instead of a pro
lific soil and the possible granary of
a nation. Our ideas of Siberia, ob
tained from the old geographies,
were totally false. That in twenty
or thirty years from now Siberia
will be raising the bread of Europe,
is a certainty ; and were it equally
certain that America would at that
time have to seek a market for her
breadsUiffs abroad, the outlook for
our farmer would be gloomy.
But this is not the case. Thirjv
years from now it will require more
intensified farming than we now
practice to supply our local markets.
"We are increasing in population a
million a year, and the rate of in
crease is increasing. Thirty years
from now the population will exceed
100,000,000. In other words, we
will have gained a population as
great, or greater, than that of Ger
many, France or England. We will
have to raise products sufficient to
feed all the present population of
any one of those countries, in order
to feed ourselves. The result of
this will be improved conditions for
the farmer. We believe the agri
cultural callings have seen their
darkest days, and that the condition
of the farmer will steadiry improve.
Siberia will feed the world, put it
will soon be realized that, it is really
America for Americans, and that all
our products will be consumed at
home. Then the land owner, the
farmer, will assume that position to
which the nobleness of his calling
entitles him, and the owners of the
soil ' will be the aristocrats of die
country.
BOTH SIDES TALKING.
Attorney-General OIney says, the
recognition or refusal thereof of
Cuban independence is a matter
that belongs to the president, and
not to congress. Senator Sherman
and other leading senators take issue
"with Lim on this, and claim that con
gress could pass a resolution which
the president might veto, but that if
it was then passed over his veto, it
would become a law, and as such the
president would have to see it exe
cuted. The whole discussion is bun
comb, for neither the president nor
congress can recognize., the Cuban
government because it does not ex
ist.
The sympathy of the entire, coun
try is with the Cubans, simply" be
cause they are struggling for free-
"dom. Outside of tliat, what Spain
does with her colonies is none of our
business, and the learned law-makers,
who are making the .old rotunda at
"Washington tremble with their per
Orations, are all well aware of it.
The United States senate is only
aping childishness for fear it will be
accused of senility; ,
Cuba will win her independence if
we let her alone, and will probably
appreciate the blessings of, liberty
when she has earned them through
heroism and suffering.
Mr. Cramp, the Philadelphia ship
builder, has been examining into the
component parts of corn-stalks, and
if he may be believed has discovered
just whole lots of things. He states
that the elements entering into the
composition of the corn-stalk could
be utilized for the production of
alcohol, cellulose, matting, carpets,
paper, smokeless powder, and a food
for cattle superior to anything now
in the market. Besides these, he
says he can enumerate seyeral other
things for which the . stalks would be
valuable, and adds that bis discover
ies will raise the value of the corn
area at least $5 per acre. This
would be good news indeed, if true,
but we very much fear Mr. Cramp
is articulating through his silk tile.
The smokeless powder and other
things may be all right, but we draw
the line at haying superior cattle
feed left after all the stalk is used
up lor something else.
