interests and voed for McKinley Mr.
Bryan is correct in saying that a great
number of laboring men voted against
him and that if they had voted for him
he would have been elected. But he
is mistaken in classifying any large
part of the wage-earners as Debs men.
The wyrkinginen of the United States
who assisted in defeating Bryan have
their reward in a 100-cent dollar, with
good wages, abundant employment and
protected industrial conditions. They
will vote against Parker, and more nu
merously, on the same intelligent basis.
Mr. Bryan is a plausible speaker,
with a pleasing presence and a talent
for platform wit, but the majority of
the people do not think he has the
qualities needed in the presidential of
fice. Even now he is deep in political
absurdities. One dav he is in close
conference with Nebraska Populists,
who will vote for the Watson electoral
ticket, and the next da> urges Missouri
ans to support Parker and the straight
Democratic ticket. Mr. Bryan should
explain why the Populist ticket and
platform are not as well worth con
sideration in Missouri as in Nebraska.
Parker and Watson are not running on
the same platforms. Bryan’s alliance
with one in Nebraska and his speeches
for the other in Missouri and a heavy
strain on the blindest of his admirers.
The charge he makes against laborers
is practically a tribute to their com-
mon sense and clear judgment in politics
A Tendency of the Age.
The tendency of the age seems to be
to can everything in sight. Not so
many years ago people were content to
eat most things in their proper season,
but now all kinds of fruits and vegeta
bles must be "canned,’’ so that in reality
the bill of fare shows but little varia
tion between summer and winter. Even
clerks who fail to do their duty are
cannned nowadays. Canned snowballs
for the benefit of the small bov during
his summer vacation will be the next
thing in line. Canning butter is one of
the newer industries that are being de
veloped. It is stated that the practice
is very common in New Zealand and
Australia and that canned butter can be
kept for 200 days and still be fresh and
sweet.
Butter, of course, cannot be cooked or
even heated in order to preserve it, and
there is where the canners meet with
difficultv. They, however, select butter
which has been carefully made and
therefore has good keeping qualities to
begin with. When possible, they take
butter made from pasteurized cream.
They then sterilize it very carefully, and
it is readv for the cans. Such butter is
consumed very largely in mines and
other out-of -the-wa v places, where it is
practically impossible toget fresh butter
Importance of the Hay Crop.
Few people realize the importance of
the hay crop. Papers are full of reports
regarding corn, wheat, oats, potatoes
and cotton, but if any mention of hav
is made it is but a casual remark. When
actual facts are taken into considera
tion, however, it is found that aside from
corn, the ha v crop of the United States
is the most valuable. Last vear the hav
crop of the country was valued at some
thing like $556,000,000, or about one-
fifth of the total value of all agricultural
crops. During the last three years the
crop has averaged about $535,000,000
against $444,000,000 for wheat. The
cotton crop, which is watched with fev
erish interest and upon which the finan
cial interests of the south are dependent,
has never exceeded $469,000,000. The
value of the oat, barlev. rye and buck
wheat crop is only about $200,000,000.
Farmers, however, value their hav
crop, for they know that unless they
have feed it takes all the money they re
alize from their other crops to purchase
hay for their stock, and consequently
they are no better off at the end of the
year than thny would have been had all
their crops failed but hay and forage.
The live stock on a farm can, of course,
be sold off in case of p. failure of the hay
crop, but usually where that is done
there is a tremendous loss and nothing
is saved in the end.
There is certainly no cause this year
for complaint about the hay and forage
crops, and this fact should be consider
ed in figuring on the purchasing power
of farmers this vear. Not so much de
pends upon the market value of hay, as
the greater benefit comes from the fact
that farmers this year will not have to
buy hay and forage andean therefore
use the cash realized from other crops
for whatsoever they choose. There is
no mist.iking the fact that the hay crop
will play a very important part in deter
mining trade conditions throughout the
country during the coming season.

1893. when the price was much lower
than now. Our wheat crop will be con-
siderably below the recent average, k is
remarked, with a price that has not been
equalled in many years. Some farmers
will suffer serious individual loss, but as
a whole the yield promises to be one of
full value to them, while other cereals
are likely to be garnered in unusual
abundance.
In regard to cotton, to which alarm
ists for speculative gain direct their at
tention, the papers says that while
there has unquestionably been some set
back to the crop from weather conditions, advantages attached.
there is no evidence of injury compar
able on the whole with that of last year.
"There is nothing in authentic reports
to indicate serious or extensive injury to
cotton and we may still expect a heavy
stock, if not an unprecedented one.” The
paper quoted says that apart from
wheat and cotton the promise is for
abundant crops, with good prices and
unusually prosperous conditions tor the
»farming population. This means a de
mand for the productsofother industries
which will contribute materially to a
revival of activity in general business.
