Til* Fulurt> of Farming*
The near approach of the opening of
the ‘‘Cherokee strip" to settlement fur-
irshos the text for a long and interest
ing article in the New York Sun, In
which the future of farming in the
United States is ably discussed. The
opening of the strip to the thousands
of anxious “boomers" now encamped
on its borders is treated as the final net
in the distribution of the farming do
main of the nation. Nowhere else does
there now remain land fit for agricul
tural purposes which is open to home
stead settlement—that is to say, which
is the property of the government. The
Sun argues elaborately to establish the
accuracy of this statement, and with
a great degree of success.
The exhaustion of the farming land
ait the command of the government and
the consequent lapse of tho homestead
law under .which the great West has
been subdued to cultivation cannot fall
“Nuw Fo»- liiinelullidin."
"Now for bimetallism" Is the watch
word for the Democratic party sug
gested by a contemporary which as
sumes that the Sherman law will be
speedily repealed.. The watchword is
a good one. It expresses the wish of
five out six Democrats, and of three
out of four of the people of the United
States, without regard to party.
But while it expresses the feeling of
the people, It is trot very illuminating
—it is too indefinite. The question to
be considered is not Shall we have bi
metallism? but In what manner can
we reach Mmetal’/.sm?
A ' free coinage which Over-valued
silver would not result in bimetallism,
except on 'the statute books. In actual
practice, we would have silver mono
metallism, Just as we had gold mono
metallism after 1837, as the result of
undervaluing silver. On the other
hand, a free coinage which took silver
nt the market price would add little
to the ourrency, would give us dollars
too large for convenient carriage and
would cost, enormously when weeame
to remint the light dollars already in
existence. Moreover, the value of sil
ver would be permanently degraded
to its present level, and there is reason
to doubt whether at that Ion - level i-t
can be widely used ns a money metal.
There is still another method-
through international agreement upon
a coinage ratio between the two met
als. If such an agreement can be
reached, an enormous sacrifice of the
tvnnle of silver will not he necessary,
and we will have a true bimetallism.
The whole supply of gold and 'silver
will be available as money everywhere,
and n wave of prosperity will roll over
the world.
Now for bimetallism;" but what
kind of Win eta 11 is in shall our repre
sentatives have in view—the bimetal
lism of the statute book only, the bi
metallism which permanently degrades
the valpe of silver, or tho true bimet
allism which will make silver the
world's motley? It is this question
which the Democratic, party must an
swer promptly and clearly. There can
bo no doubt that international bimet
allism Is best. So kmg us there is a
chance of obtaining It, no Idea of ac
cepting any other kind should be en
tertained by congress. That H can be
obtained, many of those beat informed
of the state of International finances
believe. France nnd the other coun
tries of the Latin union, Italy, Stvltz-
Greece, would

treme irafirtsans on either aide of the
present controversy—certainly it would
not by men in public life whose tenure
of office depends upon their seal in
upholding one side or the other of the
contention; but it would lie valuable
in forming public opinion if made
unanimously, and in any event would
put tn compact form the best statement
of each side of the case. In the mean
time flic feeling excited by sharp con
troversy wii'l have died down and men
will be In a better frame of miud to
consider tho question on Its merits.
And what is of more importance, pep
haps, they will have had valuable ex
perience. They will have been able to
judge from actual results of the value
o? the arguments urged with so much
vehemence on both s.des during recent
debates.
The inquiry ought to be particularly
valuable in that branch touching the
causes of the fcrte panic. I-t has been
frequently charged, on tho floor of
congress aud in tho press, that it was
the result of a conspiracy of banks, of
i-apliuiisia geucitiliy or of \V;tH
street.” The charge is somewhat
vague nnd not easily credible, but is
ro doubt widely believed, nevertheless.
It ft is true, the government nnd the
people ought to know It, in order that
they may preveut and punish such
crimes in future. If it Is not true, that
fact ought to bo made plain. It is not
well for the country limit the people

the purchases of silver have ceased.
But this would he tout a temporary
remedy. Nothing but a change In the
laws will bring permanent relief, nnd
the changes must necessarily be mainly
In the tariff laws.

a great task before it—that of over

A New Hanking System.
It is apparent from the reports of
Washington correspondents that the
Democratic platform's demand for the
repeal of the 10 per cent, tux on the
issues of state banks is gradually forc
ing Itself on the attention of the mem
bers of congress. For a long time It
was practically Ignored, except by the
Republican newspapers, who sought
to make political capital for their par
ty by essays ou ‘'wildcat" and “red
dog" currency—the kind of currency
with which ihe country would be
flooded, they contended, If the tax
should bo repealed. Now the propoel
lion to repeal the tax Is receiving the
respectful consideration of' the; Dem
ocratic leaders, la making friends fast
and will doubtless bo made the basis
such remedial legislation as nuy be
adopted to cure existing financial ills
the country. President Cleveland
and Secretary Carlisle are said.to fa
vor It. on certain conditions. «*
The probability now is that Ihe re
peal of the tax will be ncconjpinled
legislation which will have the ef
fect of establishing n new system
banking. The federal govoroUtiibt will
retain a certain control of nob' '..-sties,
will hold the securities on which they
are based nnd guarantee the payment
■the notes to case the bank falls,
will also print the notes, in order that
may guard against fraud and coun
terfeiting, nnd .will retain the right to
examine Into the coalition of the
banks at any time. To this cxtppt the
machinery of the national banking sys
tem will be retained. The rest trill be
different. The basis on wWrtijnotes
will be issued will not be government
bonds only, tiut the bonds of Mates,
counties nnd municipalities, or other
securities which the government itiay
think sufficient.
Of course the plan has not been
worked out to detail, but It is nlon;
the line we have Indicated that favor
able dlncusakm is now running. The
idea is to provide a currency abso
lutely safe, everywhere acceptable nr
abundant—safe and acceptable bectra
having ample guarantees behind it an
abundant because all good and quickly
convertible forms of wealth In the
country will be made available 'as a
basis for money.
We have at all tlmcti had confidence
that the Democratic party as repre
sented In congress would carry out
faithfully and wisely the pledges of
the Chicago platform. The manner in
which this questiou Is taken up in
creases our confidence, already justi
fied by the manner to which the bouse
dealt with the silver question in the
face of a clamorous demand that lt
ignore the Democratic platform and
follow that of the Populists.
A New Knniui Campaign.
We find the following in one of our
exchanges:
“One of the most aggressive wo
man's rights campaigns ever fought in
this state will be inaugurated tomor
row in response to a call issued by
Mrs. Laura M. Johns, president ef the
Kansas Equal Suffrage Association,
and delegation, of fiuululm: polltled-ana

the prominent speakers will bo Susan
B. Anthony, Mary B. Lease nnd sev

movement. Sirs. Johns says that the

sade for woman’s enfranchisement

The review on the subject of South
ern consumption of cotton has been

Tuesday morniug, but the full report
as given in the New Orleans Picayune
will be interesting to farmers and
ton men generally.
The ref.ums relating to cotton con
sumption in the South are of the mort
satisfactory description. The financial
disturbances, so serious iu other sec
tions of the country, exerted but ltt-
de influence on the mills lu the cotton
belt iu the beginning of August, nnd
even then, in reply to a direct question
sent to every mill, a surprisingly large
number stated that they had expe
rienced no ill effects. . It is true that
a eenernl sense of uneasiness nrevnheu
among mill owners, and there were
growing complaints of increasing dif
ficulty in disposing of goods. Fears
were expressed also of possible danger
ahead, to result from continued finan
cial stringency, but as a matter of fact
the consumption of raw cotton had been
but little affected.
As indicated by the tables annexed,
the total consumption in all the mills
(old and new) for tho year was 743,848
bales, ugains; 686,080 for the season of
1891-92, aud 604,661 for 1890-91, a gain

Unless there 1s an increase in the
government’s revenues, the treasury
statement at the end of the fiscal year
next June will show a deficit of about
$o0,f)00.000. The government is now
spending about $.7,000,000 , a month
more than it receives. The duty rests
upon congress of preventing this de
ficit or of providing for it, and this
duty should be attended to at the ear
liest possible moment. Delay cun
only add to the difficulties of the situa-
Son.
Not very much can now be done in

of the cotton fields than to transport
the bulk raw material long distances

Five year* ago (1889-90) Southern mills
consumed 480,000 bales, this year, tn
face of unfavorable commercial condi
tions. they used 744,000, an increase of
264,000 hales, or 65 per cent. The in

be considered large, compared with tho

the country, but the percentage of
growth Is significant. During the past
