$3,200,000,000 FOR THE FARMERS.
With the harvest now well beyond
_4he power of weather conditions it is
possible to make a close estimate of
the value of the year’s crops to the
American farmers.
Based on the figures of the last
report made to the government, the
Chicago Inter-Ocean places the value
of the corn crop to the farmers of the
country this year at about $985,000,000.
This is to be compared with $952,800,-
000 value to the farmers last year from
their corn. This year’s crop is the
eecond best corn crop on record in
value to the farmers.
Much has been said aad printed
about the failure af the wheat crop
this year. The yield was under that
first expected, and under the yields of
recent years. But the extraordinarilv
high prices for wheat prevailing this
fall have made the crop prebably the
most valuable in the history of the
country to the farmers. It is estimated
that the wheat yield this year was
worth about $551,000,000, as compared
with a value of $443,000,G00 last year.
The cotton crop of the present year
is close to the bect in size and quality
ever produced in the country. The
speculation in cotton last year, how
ever, made an extremely high range of
prices for the staple and probaoly put
the total value of last season’s crop 1o
the planters at a higher figure than
will be realized for the crop this eea
son. The estimated figures are $600,-
000,000 for this year’s crop, as compared
with $617,500,000 for last year's crop.
The hay crop is one of the most|
valuable that the farmers of the coun
try raise, although little is heard of It.‘
and its vicissitudes during the growing
season. This year the hay crop is
very large, but the price is not up to
the average of former years. The
total value of the crop is estimated at
$550,000,000.
The potato crop this year is one of
the best in the history of the country,
and there is indicated a totai value of
the potato crop of $158,000,000.
The oat, rye, barley and buckwheat
crops are excellent tkis year, and
prices are good. The yields to the
farmers this fall are figured at a total |
of $356,000,000 for the four crops.
Combined. the crops of the country
this year represent a value to farmers,
at the prevailing prices, larger than
ever before in the history of the coun
try. The grand total of the yield of
the harvests this fall is estimated at.i
$3,200,000,000. Last year’s records
have been broken, when the yield was
$3,073,000,000.
Three billion and two hundred
million dollars of value produced in
one year by the farmer! Whata
tribute to the intelligence and indus
ny o: this great class of our citizen
ip.
/' ALREADY BEARING FRUIT.
The opinion publicly and officially
announced by Judge Joues of Ala
bama, a so-called democrat who is
bolding office by favor of a repub
lican administration, that the fed
eral authorities should deal with
lynchings ia the south is already
bearing fruit, The grand jury of a
United States court in that state bas
returned indictments againsta number
of citizens who are alleged to have
taken part in a lynching.
This arrogation of state rights by
the federal judiciary has been increas
ing for some tiwme, and is nothing more
nor less than a part of the general
plan to centralize the goverpment as
far as possibie, and to bring it to pass
that the democratic form of govern
ment in this country shall be of etfect
00 more.
From the foundation of the republis
antil this day the trial of such cases
has been left to the states, where it by
right belongs, and agaipst this ten
dency to vestrict the power of the
states vigorous vprotest should be
entered.
THOUSANDS STARVING IN ENGLAND.
1n this land of prosperity and plenty |
it seems strange to read of thousands
of peoplessbeing at che point of starva
tion, as is the case in Eogland. At a
meeting of the Manchestercity council
it was announced {that owing to the
»ard times and depression in the cotton
industries between 40,000 and 50,000
people in the poorer parts of the city
_were nearly onthe verge of starvation.
Similar conditions prevail in London
and other large cities of the United
Kingdom, where the winter is expected
to be the hardest in many years for
the poorer classes.
For a number of years the condition
of our cousins just across the big pond
has been gradually getting worse.
CaPT. HITCH has been made an hon
orary member of the Savannah mili
tary company. The “*Cap’n” is wmcre
popular than ever down in his neck of
the woods.
SMITES A GREAT EVIL.
With well directed blows Judge
Parker has smitten an evil that has
grown to alarming aod dangerous
proportions. In talkingto & visiting |
delegation at Esopus a few days ago
he spoxe of the corruption of the bal
lot, and it was by far one of the best
of the few speeches the presidential
candidate has made. In the course of
his remarks he said:
“Many years have passed since my
active participation in politica. In the
meantime & startling change has taken
place in the method of conducting
campaigns, achange not for the better,
but for the worse, a change that has
introduced debasing and corrupt
methods which threaten the integrity
of our government, lzaving it perhaps
a republic in form but not a republic
in substance—no longer a goveroment
of the people, by the people for the
people, but a government whose
officers are practically chosen by a
handful of corporate managers who
levy uoon the assets of the stockhold
ers whom they represent such sums of
money as they deem requisite to place
the conduct of the government in such
hands as they deem best for their
private interests. I mahe no complaint,
nor should complaint be made, of any
individual who contributes toward the
many legitimate expenses of a great
campaign. * * * luv is but a little
while since the body of the people at
| large provided the legitimate expenses
of a campaign. When farmer and
Ilawver. doctor and mechanic, day
laborer and banker each contributed
something toward the evection of
banners, the circulation of literature
and the expenses of public meetings
each contributor was a better citizen
for iv. It stimulated bis patriotism,
and the contributions were devoted to
the legitimate advancement of the
cause, not made for the deliberate cor
ruption of the maases of electors. 2ar
Political contributions by corporations
and trusts mean corruption. They
cannot be honest. Merely because
interests are moved by merely business
coneiderations{;-JA corporation will
subscribe to a political party only
because the corporation expects that
party, through its cootrol ot public
offices, executive or legislative, to do‘
something for the benefit of the cor
poration or to refrain from doing
something to its injury. No other
motive can be imagined. In the nature
of things no other motive can exist.”
As the campaign progresses Judgel
Parker is showing up as a strong.]
conservative and capable man. He is
sound on all of the questions now be- ‘
fore the peonle, and it is perbaps un
fortunate for the party that he bas‘
not discussed them more freely. |
THE Macon News thinks the state
ment by Walter Wellman, staff corres- |
pondent of the Chicago Record-Her
ald, that the people of the north bave
buried all prejudice toward the, south,
and that sectional feeling is now
kept alive solely by the people of the
south, is about as correct as his asser- |
rion some time ago that the people of
the second district were violently
opposed to Jim Griggs because of his
support of Hearst for the presidential
nomination, and would defeat him
overwheimingly for re-election to con
gress. s sdiocrtp
NEWSPAPERS that have been fight
ing William J. Bryan and finding it
impossible to speak kindly of him for
several years past are now beginning
to do bim tardy justice. T'he Savan
pah Press says ‘“‘Mr. Bryan is the
strongest campaigner in America,”
and the Memphis Commercial-Appeal
acknowledges that ‘‘he is the strong
est individual factor supporting Parker
and Davis.”’
LEWIS GREGG is a young Atlantan
who bas achieved an enviable success
as @ cartoonist, first on the staff of the
Atlanta News and later the Constitu
tion. His drawings have an original
ity of conception and able teehnique
of execution that have placed him in
the forefront of American cartoonists.
A collection of his cartoons in bonk
form has recently been issued from
the press.
THAT threatened war between Rus
sia and England was principally on
paper. Out of the sensational mass of
stuff that was printed about Russia’s
Baltic fleet shooting into a number of
British fishing ships hus come the fact
that there are two sides to the sensa
‘tional incident. Of course there was
a lov of bluff and bluster, and now
idiplomacy will quietly settle it all.
. HON. CLARK HOWELL, editor of the
:Atlant,a. Constitution, has contributed
to Collier's Weekly an exceedingly
iinberestinz paper on the- negro proo
lem in the south. He treats the ques
tion ably and fearlessly, and exposes
the danger to this section from
Roosevelt and other partisan republi
cans. Mr. Howell hasdone the south a
real seryice in writing this article.
‘ MR. BRYAN'S speeches in Indiana
ought to stop the mouths of his critics
within the party—of course, nothing
will stop the mouths of his republican
critics.-—Savannah News.
They seem to have stopped at least
one mouth, Until a few days ago our
Savannah contemporary was &mong
the severest and most unreaspnable
critice of the great democratic Teader.
| THE steel trust has notified the
lemployes in its Illinois mills of & re
duction of 23 per cent in their wages.
The reduction will very likely have
some effect on the full dinner pail.
l MR. WATSON is evidently expecting
’somethiug in Georgzia. A speech in
Albany today and another in Macon
‘tomorrow will not be made just for the
fun of it.
IN these days of prosperity the mere
matter of losing $BOO doesn't cause
dismay and gloom. [n Savannah the
other day a farmer of a peighboring
county who lost a roll containing vhat
sum calmly went to the circus and
later wound up at the theatre.
Two West Virginia patriots, after
listening to a sermon, eogaged in a
ldiacussion of politics just without the
ehurch door that ended in one killing
It.be other. There ia evidently no apa
thy 10 the political situation in West
Virginia.
AS a rapid-fire political speaker Mr.
Bryan has no equal. This tribune of
pure demoeracy on last Wednesday
delivered eigbteen speeches in as
i many Ohio towns for Parker.
' JUDGE PARKER is to make three
political addresses this week. Iv is
perhaps fortunaie for the party that
his voice has been restored.
Ir woothing else, Tom Watson's
speeches in Georgia will let the people
know a presidential election is about
to take place.
ALL of those Palmer and Buckner
“democrats’ who got close o the re
‘publican swill tub are now euthusiastic
Teddyites.
. EvVERY Georgia democrat should go
to the polls and vote the party ticket
pext Tuescay. Let there be no sulk
ing.
