WASHINGTON LETTER.
Written For The Home Journal.
Kindness is one of the purest.
Special Correspondence,
The determination of the
ident and his Cabinet to use ev- traits that find a place in the hu-
ery power, they possess to secure ’man heart and mind. It
the ratification, of the Cuban trea- 1 gives us friends wherever we may
ty promises to precipitate an in-: chance to wander. Whether we
teresting fight in the Senate. • dwell with the highest or lowest
Senator Aldrich and other ex- class of people. . Kiudness is a
treme protectionists see in the language understood by the form-
Cuban treaty the entering wedge! er as well as the latter. Its influ-
in a policy which will eventually j ence never ceases. To show kind-
result in the material lowering of 1 ness it is not necessary to give
the Dingley schedules. They j largq sums ofmioney, or to per-
will, therefore, oppose the con-1 form some wonderful deed that
vention to the last ditch. The
claim is already being made that
the President’s action in negotia
ting a treaty without the sanction
of the House when that treaty af
fects the revenues is unconstitu
tional and injury to the farmers
by the reduction of the tariff on
sugar by 20 per cent, is also to be
made a plea for defeating the
convention. On the other hand,
Mr. Roosevelt has said that he
will regard the vote on the treaty
as a test of loyalty to himself, bo
that the fight promises to be un
usually interesting.
Allready the attention of the
Democrats is turning to the pos
sibilities of 1904. Realizing that
the republicans are afraid to en-
aot any legislation inimical to the
trusts and that the people are
daily growing more urgent in be
half of such legislation, they ar
gue that the people will turn to
the democratic party for relief i^
1904 4 if a sufficiently ssroiig man
heads the democratic ticket.
Three names are now being gen
erally discussed in this connec
tion, Judge Parker of New York,
Ex-Secretary Olney and Senator
Gorman. Senator Carmack pins
his faith to Judge Parker, 'who
might have been governor of New
York this time had he accepted
the nomination. On the other
hand, there are many who would
pass the Judge by because he was
unwilling to make the race in his
own state. Representative Un
derwood of Alabama recently
told our correspondent that he fa-
fored Mr. Olney, as a man who
had demonstrated his abnity and
had served his party well. He
said that Mr. Olney had always
been “regular” and he believed
that he has the confidence of the
people generally ahd of the bus!
ness men of the country in par
ticular.' With regard to Mr. Gor
man’s chances,.-doubtless much
depends on the next session of
the Senate. His friends say that
he will promptly assume the dem-
ocrasic leadership and will com
mand so much respect in that po
sition that he will become the in
evitable candidate of the party.
It is rumored that Senator
Lodge’s bill reducing the tariff on
Phillippine'imports from 75 to
'25 per cent. of'the]Dingley rates,
will encounter severe oppsoitiou
in the Senate. The sugar trust
is firmly opposed to such a reduc
tion as are the lumber and oth
er industries, especially the to
bacco growers. The fact that
the reduction would prove of sig
nal advantage to the islands
would count as nothing, of course,
as compared with personal in
terests of those producers.
will immortalize your name. It
is the word of sympathy to the
discouraged and the disheartened.
Kiudness makes sunshine wherr
ever it goes. It does not consist
in gifts, but in gentleness and
generosity of spirit.
The noblest revenge we £an
take upon our enemies is to do
them a kindness. To return in
jury for injury will afford but a
temporary gratification to our
evil passions, and our enemies
will only be rendered more and
more bitter against us. But to
take the first opportunity of show
ing how superior we aire to them
by doing them a kindness, or by
rendering them a service, is not
oiily the nobler way, but the sting
of reproach will enter deeply into
their souls, and while unto us it
)will be a noble retaliation, our
triumph will not unfrequently be
rendered complete, not only by
beating out malice that had oth
erwise stood against us, but by
bringning repentent hearts to of
fer - themsplves at the shrine of
friendship. A more glorious vic
tory cannot be gained over anoth
er than this, that when the injury
begun on his part .he kindness
should begin pn ours.
Speak kindly in the morning
for it lightens all the cares of the
day. Speak, kindly at night, for
they- may be the last. Kind
words are the bright flowers of
earthly existence. They are jew
els beyond price, and powerful-to
heal the wounded heart.
So let us cultivate the habit of
speaking kindly at all times,

Now Is the Time to Act.

The amount of debt which will
hang over the average farmer
next fall will depend very largely
upon the amount of cotton he will
plant this spring. If he increases
his acreage in cotton he will have
to buj r more guano to do it and
other things will also have to be
bought.
If he reduces his acreage in cot
ton he will have less guano to buy
and will have room for other
crops that will help to pay run
ning expenses. A larger patch of
oats, corn, hay chufas, peas, etc.,
and a few more hogs and cows, a
few more potatoes this fall, and
a few extrav chiokeus and turkeys
for the market, will mean more
money and less debt in the end.
Don’t let the farmers get the
idea that everybody else is going
to cut down the cotton acreage
or that they can bull the price
of the staple by declaring “ruin.”
“ruin,” “ruin” of the crop along
iu July. These things have been
tried too often, and have proved
a delusion every time.
The cotton crop of the South—
and especially the sea island crop
—will make this section independ
ently rich if planted as a surplus
crop, but it will prove an unprof
itable servant unless other crops
are raised in conjunction with it.
Let tlie farmers remember that
now, and not next fall, is the
time for them to act.

Ag usta Herald,
The Twelth Census begins its fi
nd report on manufoctures with
the.words: “The Twelth Census
marks the close of the first com
plete sentury of manufactures in
the United States. It will thus
become the most important sta
tistical basis by which will be
measured the future advancement
of American industry.”
The census investigation gives
us information worth acquiring,
notably the knowledge that we
have 012,889 establishments, us
ing $9,886,086,909 of capital, and
involving the labor of 897,174
officials aud olerks and 5,816,802
wage earners. This vast equip
ment consumes '$7,848,144,755
worth of raw materials annually
and makes out of the same ma
terial 'manufactured products
worth altogether $18,014,287,498.
These figures all Bhow a healthy
inorease over those of 1890.
There are forty-four per cent,
more establishments now than
then;fifty per cent, more capital
is used; a fourth more wage ear
ners are employed; and the an
nual value of the gross product is
forty per cent, more than iu 1890.
Our rank among the manufac
turing nations of the world is
first, for according to the esti
mates of the late Mr. Mullhall,
we produce about h ft lf as much as
all of Europe combined. The
United Kingdom ranks second,
Germany third, France fourth
anfi Austria-Hungary fifth.
The significance of $18,000,-
000,000, the value of manufactur
ed* articles prod uced in 1900, is
difficult to realize. It is nine and
one-third times the authorized
capitilization of the greatest cor
poration on earth, the United
States Steel Corporation. It is
one-fifth of the true value of all
real estate and personal property
in the United states reported by
the census of 1890, or about the
valuejof New York andJPennsylva-
nia oombined at that time. So
great an annual produot has been
produced byonr manufacturing
establishments only in recent
years. The product of 1890 was
$9,872,487,288, that of 1880 $5,-
866,679,191 that of 1850 but $1,-
019,106,610.

Prof. Merritt resolved at the be
ginning of the year to do all in
his power as State School Com
missioner to pay the teachers
their salaries promptly.* He has
taught school long enough to
know what a hardship it is to
h^ve to wait for weeks for one’s
pay or, perhaps, have to sell a
school script at a big discount.
He will make many friends if he
succeeds in carrying out his reso
lution.—Valdosta Times.
