The following valuable Information is gleaned from the report of the sec retary of agriculture, for 1903, which has just been issued: . Out of their continued abundance. during the past year, the farmers of the nation have contributed food and raw materials for manufactures to hundreds of millions of people in foreign countries, besides sustaining S0.00O.O00 at home. A survey of half a century discovers tho remarkable character of the movement In which the farmers of tnis country have become the chief purveyors of the world. In 1851 our shipments of farm prod ucts were valued at $147,000,000, j while naif a century later, in 1901. they amounted to $952,000,000, an in crease of $805,000,000, or about 550 per cent. The farmers' export trade for, the decade 1851-1SG0 amounted to $1, 896.000,000, and in the following de fade, in spite of the transfer of mul titudes of men from productive to de structive life the total was $2,431, 000,000. In the decade after that, the export trade doubled and amounted to $4,804,000,000. In the next decade, the amount grew to $5,740,000,000, and the total for the decade of 1S91-1900 was $7, 032,000,000, or an average of over $703,000,000 a year. Subsequent to the last named period this trade has gone on increasing and reached its highest amount in 1901 with exports valued af $952,000,000. The export trade in farm products for 1903 was valued at over $878,000,000, an amount second only to that of 1901. The consumption of cotton in this country is now greater than that of any other country, and yet the cotton planters of the South not only sup plied this market last year, but ex ported a surplus of 3,569,000,000 pounds, valued at $317,000,000, or for every working day In the year about 12,000,000 pounds, worth more than $1,000,000. t Represented In value, the exports of grain and grain products had about two-thirds of the importance of cot ton in the last fiscal year, the value of the export being more than $221, 000,000. From 46,000,000 acres of wheat theie was a surplus for foreign mouths amounting to 114.000,000 bushels and 20,000,000 barrels of flour, amounts that together represent 204,- 000,000 bushels of wheat. Third In ImiKjrtance are the exports of meats and meat products, with a grand total of $178,000,000, to which may be added $35,000,000 for live ani mals. Quantities that ate beyond the grasp of the mind represent the ex ports of meats and their products. The pounds of beef were 385,000,000; of pork, 551,000,000; of lard, 491,000, 000; and of oleo oil. 126,0in),O00. The foregoing figures, it should be borne in mind, do not stand for the total production of the farms, but for the surplus production after the wants of the people at home have been sat isfied. The Farmer's Balance of Trade. The Immense exports from the farms of the country lead to an ex amination of the so-called balance of trade. This examination reveals what seems to have escaped the attention of the public, and that is, that tho fa vorable balance of trade, everything Included, is due to the still more fa vorable balance of trade In the prod ucts of the farm. During the thirteen years 1890-1902 the average annual excess of domestic exports over imports amounted to $275,000,000. and during the same time the annual average in favor of tarm products was $337,000,000, from which it is apparent that there was an average annual adverse balance of trade in products other than those farm amounting to is nnn nnn which the farmers offset and had'lcit T.iu,iu,uvii io tne credit of them selves and the country. Taking the business of 1903, the comparison Is much moro favorable to the farmers' than during the pre ceding thirteen-year period, since the value of domestic exports over im ports was $367,000,000, the entire trade being Included, while the excess for farm products was $422,000,000, Which was sufficient nnt nnlv in nfTcnt 'he unfavorable halanco of trade of $56,00u,000 in products other than those of the farm, hut tn Imto no above stated, the enormous favorable balance of $367,000,000. uunng the lastfourtecn years there- was a balance of trade In fnvnr of farm products, without exccntinc anv year that amounted to S4.R0R 000 OOn Against this was an rfdversn hnlnnro of trade In products other than those of the farm of $865,000,000, and tho farmers not only canceled this Im. menso obligation, but had enough left to place $3,9iu,000,000 to the credit of the nation when tho books of interna tional exchange were balanced. These figures torsek- omress tho immense national reserve-sustaining power of the farmers of tho country under present quantities of produc tion. It Is the farmers who hnm nnM me loreign bondholders. National Stock of Farm Animals. The department's inventory of farm animals January 1. 1903, discovers mat while some classes of animals are only holding their largo propor tions, others are increasing. The horses number 16,557,000, with a value "i i,uji.uuu,uuo. The mules have In creased to 2.72S.000, with a vnlue of nearly $200,000,000. Dairying shows marked expansion, and now depends upon 17,150,000 milch cows, with a value of $517,000,000. utner cattle of all sorts number. 45, 000,000, with a value of $824,000,000 The number of sheen has had a ten dency to decline at times during tho last score of years, but within the last four years has increased decisive ly, so that now the sheep number 64, 000,000, with a value of $168,000,000. Hogs have remained about station ary in number for many years, and in 1903 were found to be 47,000,000 with a value of $365,000,000. THE TIGER'S RULE HOW NOMINATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE PLAYTHINGS. Insight Into Past New York Politics of the Tammany Ring Was Abso lute A Nomination Always Meant an Election Before the Disruption. The news that W. Bourke Cockran of New York expects to return to congress in McClelian's place Is In teresting as indicating another change In a very changeful mind. Cockran came to congress during President Cleveland's first term much heralded for his oratory, stayed just long enough to learn that a new member Is of little use In such a body, even though he can be a clever speaker, and went away disgusted. One day in the early fall of 1890 Franklin Bartlett of New York de cided that he would like to come to congress and see whether, by a long period of good service, a northern and eastern man could not acquire the In fluence possessed by so many south ern and western men through that means. He met Cockran In the street in New York and consulted him about it. "Don't go to congress," advised Cockran. "It's a waste of time. You, have a fine law practice; stick to tnat, A man gets nowhere in congress un less he ties himself up with some crew of fellows you would not wish to train wi.d, I've tried it, and 1 know." Mr Bartlett presented the argu ment which bad appealed to him of a possible long and honorable service and its rewards. "Well, there's something in that view of the case." answered Cockran "Still, I doubt whether you would be READ U mAOER'S VEADY ead Vader's Beady ead It aoer's Btr eady mm TAD II ACER'S Im EADY EAD HEADER'S EADY EMINDER EMINDER EMINDER EMINDER EMINDER Christmas Is Coming Remember Rader's Rockers and Rugs WHEN YOU ARE EADY to select Xmas presents R EAL pretty and useful. v ECOLLECT we are always on the . r ' RlJSTLE for useful, pretty prescats. i REMEMBER, too, and bear in mind the RlJSH usually made Xmas Eve.

Byers, Proprietor. satisfied with tho results If you at temnted to carry out such a program Feeling as I do about It, I would not be hired to go again." Mr. IJartleti had some errands to do on his way to his office and got there late. After going through his morning mall, he went around to seo Richard Croker, wii-j Una otiercd wm the Tammany nomination, and had held it open for him for some time. "Mr. Croker," said ho, "I'vo thought over the matter, weighed all tho pros and cons, and cone uded that I will take that nomination for congress." "Very sorry to disappoint you my boy." said Croker. looking uu liom the letter he was wrlttlng, "but Ikiurke Cockran has Just been In to tell mo that he'd like It. and I promised he should have it." So Bartlett had to wait two years for another opening. Cockran stayed In congress longer the second tlmo, and quitted It because of a quarrel with tho boss. Bartlett was finally "knifed" by Tammany, and cut out of his reelection after two terms, because bo refused to bow to Ilryanlsm In 1896. UNNA DEFINE8 A CAU8E.
