OUR FARMS OUTRIVAL KLONDIKE THE The discovery of the Alaskan gold ffieids and the turning loose of the golden floods of the Klondike is what saved the country from the hard times of 18893, say the statesmen «f the Bryan school, but the gold fields of Alaska are dwarfed by the wealth produced by the American farms, and the American farmer is ti»e greatest wealth producer in the world. The report of Secretary Wil son Of the department of agriculture Las some astonishing figures and •hows why the farmer is able at this time to save the nation by the val ves he has to sell from the products ef his farm. The crops of the country this year «re worth 57 per cent more than In 1899, a tjme when prosperity was considered at high tide. Secretary VPllson sayB the crops of the United States in the last nine years would *my «lean 13 years "Would replace the present tanking power of the United States fln capital, surplus, deposits and cir culation, and in 17 years would re glace the banking power of the world."

The country, In j Addition to meeting its own wants I wants on a liberal scale, has an Immense surplus to sell to the nations that raise less food than they consume, and have always upon their hands a serious problem that is unknown In the United States. American farmerb are in a différ ant position from that of the period of depression in 1893/ Many West ern farms at that time were hope lessly mortgaged, and one of the main reasons assigned for the finan cial difficulty was the failure to meet these obligations as they fell due. Prices were low, work was scarce, and many industries were suspended. A great number of farmers were run tilng behind. Now they are unusual «••••••••••••••< s The Light That's Bright : J Under the glittering a 2 light of the electric 2 lamp every thing is 2 seen at its best.

For several years their chief obstacle has been to secure as much labor as they can apply to advan tage. This shortage of workers on the soil still exists and Is well worth the attention of the unemployed. They are wanted on the farms, and there is no place where, with a little capital, they can branch out with j more benefit to themselves. The re port of the secretary of agriculture j is most encouraging, and indicates that what is called the panic of 1907 is in truth accompanied by condi- j tion 3 of substantial prosperity. ! - ! i THINK IT OVER It has been hinted at from reliable sources that Count Rossi is the cap Hältst that is going to finance the "Modern Venice" scheme. national The presence of the troops down at Goldfield is simply to insure to everybody a "square deal." The bayonet is sometimes the pro moter of patriotism and fair play. Governor Hughes is going to emu late Clnclnnatus and stay with his plow until called from the field. He evidently takes his job seriously. • • • The banks still have the cash and the people are acquiring the confl dence by the absent treatment. • • v Secretary Straus'evidently thinks that the yellow peril is not danger ous if taken in broken doses.
