MONEY MADE IIY FARMERS.
Statistical Evidence of Agricultural
ProNicrlt > - In 1HUS.
The farmers of this country made more
money In 189S than ever before In its his
tory , says tlie Chicago Record. The forth
coming statistical report from the Depart
ment of Agriculture will show unprecedented
crops , unprecedented prices and unprec
edented prosperity. The corn crop In 1896
amounted to 2,283,875,165 bushels , valued at
$449,276.030 ; In 1897 It was 1.002,067,933
bushels , valued at $501,072,952. In 1898. ac
cording to present estimates , the volume
was not only largely Increased , but the
farm value of corn throughout the country
averaged 2.4 cenU a bushel moro than In
1897.
1897.Tho
The wheat crop In 189C , at 72 centa a
bushel , was valued at127.684,346 ; In 1897 ,
at E0.8 cents per bushel , it was valued at
$428,547,121. The Increase In 1898 was 1,411-
692 acrea , the largest In history , and the
crop was unprecedented In quality , quantity
and price.
The 'barley ' crop In 1897 iraa worth $25-
142,139 at 37 cents a bushel. The figures for
1898 are * not la yet. but the price Is 41.4
cents a bushel and the preliminary report
hews a crop slightly above the average.
(
The same may be said of rye , which la
quoted at 46.3 cents a bushel , against 44,7
centa In 1S97.
The farm price for oats In 1898 , according
to the official ftgurea of the Agricultural de
partment , Is 25.C cents a bushel , against 21. :
cents for 1897 and l'J.5 cents In 1896 , The
totals are not In yet , but in 1S97 the crop
wan valued at $147,974,719.
Potatoes arc now worth 41.4 cents a buahcl
on the farm , which In n liug ? ( Ailing oft from
1897 , when they sold for f > 4.7 cents , but It Is
said that the difference- will bo moro than
made up by the. Increase In the volume of
ILe crop , wtilcb Is believed to bo 21 per cent
greater thau In 1S97 , when the totnl was
valued nt $59,643,039.
The hay crop of the Unite. ! State * In 1S97
was valued nt $401.390,728 , with h y polling
at $0.62 n ton. In 1S9S the crop wng the best
on record , nnd It Is soiling nt an average of
16 a ton throughout the country.
During the calendar ye r eudcd December
SI the value of the brcndstuffs sold abroad
was $317,000.000 ; provisions , $174,000.000 , nnil
cotton , $233,000,000 , making n total of $721-
000,000 'worth of farm products exported and
sold at better pnccs than wcio ever known
before.
PAY OF STATE OF1MCEHS.
lutr MlntUlli'N Almut llir Cent
of ViirloiiN OlllrlnlM ,
No stnto pays Its governor n higher sal-
nry than Now York , reports the Sun , nnd
the pny of state officers In Albany Is higher
than that of American state * generally , and
conspicuously FO In some Instances. The
governor gets $10,000 , the lieutenant gov
ernor $5,000 , the state comptroller $ C,000.
the attorney genernl $5,000. the secretary of.
stnto $5,000 , the fitnto engineer $5.000 and
the stnto treasurer $5.000. No elective or-
flclnl gets less than the pay of n congress
man , and a governor receives double a con.
Grossman's snlnry.
In eastern states generally n fair rate of
compensation for elected public officials la
maintained ; In the couth tht > rate Is less ,
though largo when the financial resources of
dome Eouthern states nro considered , but
In the west the rnto of pay Is often found
to bo Inadequate , and It is n source of sur
prise to ninny persons that competent of
ficials can bo secured under such condi
tions. In Iowa , for Instance , a state without
ni-t debt and -the finances of which are la
a nourishing condition the governor receives
only $3,000 , the lieutenant governor less
than $1,200 nnd the state treasurer $2,700
a modest rate of pay for three important
officials In a state the assessed valuation ol
which is 4n excess of $650,000,000.
Iowa , however , Is not the only western
elate which pays meager salaries to Its of
ficers. The governor of Michigan receives
only $1,000 and the state treasurer of Illi
nois only $3GOO. For some time nfter the
close of the civil war It was n familiar sayIng -
Ing In the south nnd southwest that , while
every state did not have a treasury with
something In It , every state had a state
treasurer.
AH a rule , stnto treasurers are elective of
ficers and as such the pay to them is fixed
by constitution provision , and as there Is
a strong prejudice in many states against
high salaries for public officials chosen by
popular vote , It followed that the treasurers ,
as n rule , wcro underpaid and the some
what dangerous method was adopted In some
states of permitting the treasurer to deposit
the public moneys according to his own
preference and to receive for his own bene
fit the interest on state deposits. The plan
worked well until the first defalcation and
then It was found that the state could have
recourse for recovery only against the bondsmen -
mon of the treasurer. In three states treas
urers became fugitives ; In two states thcro
were shortages which the treasurers could
not make up ; in some others there wcro
Irregularities which ended In criminal pros
ecutions , and thus a change of method be-
cnmo Imperative. The power of the treas
urers wns reduced ; the powers of the slate
comptrollers were Increased. The concur
rence of these two officials was made
requisite for payments of public funds. The
office of auditor wns established nnd such
safeguards wcro adopted as to make defal
cations of state funds very rare.
Connecticut had recently added to the
number of Its state officials an attorney gen
eral , but lu many states wherein the duties
of an attorney general are Important In
prosecuting actions against the state , or in
defending the Interests of the state , the pay
Is Insignificant for a good lawyer. Indiana
pays Its attorney general $2COO a year.
Kansas pays the same. The attorney gen
eral of Maryland gets only $2,000. Georgia
pays the same , California pays $3OCO and
Arkansas pays only $1,500. As may bo In
ferred from this , it la not an easy task for
tlioso states to secure tbo best professional
skill and , generally speaking , 'they dou't.
Now Jersey pays her elate treasurer $0,000
a year , Pennsylvania pays $7,400 and In
diana $0,500. The latter receives a larger
salary than Is paid to the Hooslor governor
and considerably moro than the neighboring
st-ito of Ohio pays Its sta > to treasurer , which
la $4,000. Massachusetts , which tins a larger
gross debt than any other state ami a sink
ing fund larger than .tho debts of any other
state , pays its treasurer $5,000 a year. Colorado
rado pays its treasurer $0,000. Ho Is tha
highest salaried of the state officers and re
ceives , Indeed , more salary than does the
governor. Ttio treasurer of the state of
Maine receives $2,000 a year , the same salary
as Is paid the governor. The state treasurer
of Ohio receives $4,000 and the state treas
urer of Wisconsin receives $5,000 , the sam
as the governor.
This practically exhausts the list of states
In which liberal salaries , or fairly liberal
salaries are paid to treasurers ; In the other
states the salary paid ftho treasurer Is not a
much as the nature of the duties bo Is called
upon to perform seems to justify. Tha
salary of the state 'treasurer ' of Michigan ,
for Instance , Is $800 ; Mississippi , $2GOO ;
Kansas , $2,500 ; Nebraska , $2,500 ; Nevada ,
$2,400 ; West Virginia , $1,400 ; Texas , $2GOO ;
Vermont , $1,700 ; Virginia , $2,000 ; Utah ,
$1,000. The treasurer of Oregon receives
$800 and fees , which vary according to th
condition of the times.
The treasurer of South Carolina gets
$2,400 ; Missouri , $3,000 ; Louisiana , $2,000 ; '
Maryland , $2GOO ; Georgia , $2,000 ; Florida ,
$2,000 ; Illinois , $3,500 ; Connecticut , $1,500 ;
California , ' $3,000 ; Alabama , $2,100 , and of
Arkansas , $2,250. Iowa pays her state treas-
urcr $2,700 and his duties are not onerous , u
Iowa Is a etato without debt nnd the cities
of Iowa , with the ono exception of Sioux
City , are without debt , too. The .treasurer
of North Dakota receives $2,000 and of South
Dakota $1,800 , Montana pays Its treasurer
$2,000 "and Minnesota $3,500. The Bia.it
treasurer of Idaho receives $1,000 a year for
his services , a smaller salary than Is paid
to nny of the other state officials. Tha
duties of a stnte treasurer are not oncroui ,
but the responsibilities of such n plnco are )
many and , generally speaking , a $ l,000-a-
ycar treasurer Is not a good Investment for
an American commonwealth.

what undir the canopy nhe wanted to open
It for : why she wanted to open any window
for that mutter , with the thermometer tha
way it was. If It had been left
to me I should have left the
window closed till the snow melted
off In the spring. But Mrs. Hilltops In
sisted , nnd what do you suppose she wanted
to open it for ? So who could shako a dust
rag out ! She opened It shook the du t rag.
and then closed the window again , anil
went on about her work with n placid ex
pression on her face.
"Sho had performed what she regarded as
a buunden duty. She docs a certain amount
of ( hinting , nnd shakes the dust rag nut of

hakes the dust rag out , closes the window
and goot * ahead on the circuit of tha
