TIAC'ilFICENT INCREASE « * FOR AMERICAN FARMERS.! Crop and Live Stock Gains of Over a Billion Dollars in Value. H - DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PROSPERITY AND DEPRESSION. A Marvelous Statement by the Department of Agriculture, Which Shows W7hy farmers Are with the Administration. The United Suites Department of Ag riculture hns just issued its statement of the value of nine of the principal crops of the United States. Comparing this value with the value of the same crops ill 1890 and lidding the increased value of live stock already published, there is an increases! gain of over one billion two huudred million dollars. It is the difference between prosperity and depression between Republicanism and Democracy. The increase is given below: Increase in Nine Crops $ 7 l(l,72t!,liI 7 Increase in l<i ve ' tock .. 501,441,474 Total Gain to Form cm.$1,212,107,001 The value on the farm of the nine prin cipal crops raised in the United States was $719,722,017 larger this year than in 1899 Tlie figures are supplied b.v the Depart ment of Agriculture, those for 1900 hav ing just been completed. The details by crops follow: They received nearly $104,000,000 more money for their cotton than they did in ISitii. This year the mills were open and there was a demand for cotton. American farmers received nearly S12, (Mld.OiM) more money for their crop of oats this year than they did in IMIMi. They received nearly $!i»,000,000 more money for their potatoes this year than they did in 1S1M1. People could afford to lmy potatoes this year, as the mills were open and good wages were being earned. They reeeived over $14,000,000 more money for their hurley this year, and barley is one of the smallest of tile sta ple crops. They received almost $<1,000,000 more money for their rye crop, which is an other of the small staples. American farmers have also gained over $.->00,000,000 this year in the value of their live stock as compared with IN!Mi. according to the Department of Agriculture's figure*.

PROGRESS A\l> PROSPERITY. *» y* t I r Shown by the Activity of Railroads and Factories. Tli<? increase of earnings of the South ern and Southwestern railroad systems of the South and Southwest is an excel lent indication of the improvement of business conditions in that section of the country. The advance since 1SOU is shown in the table below: Earnings in August. ISfW. 1900.

The out-bound shipments of tin* raw cotton may not have been heavier because more was used in the Southern mills; but the out-bound shipments of textile goods have greatly increased. Also the in-bound shipments of the luxuries of life have increased enormously, and this class of freight is the best paying of all. Opening up new markets in Cuba, I’m to Kico and the Philippines for the pro ducts of the South has given great addi tional stimulus to the Southern railroads, which, geographically considered, derive unusual advantages front the expansion policy. The extent to which new factories have been erected in the States of West \ ir ginia.

As f;ir as human judgment can fore see -at least so it seems to the writer— the next four years should he more pros perous than anything this country has ever before seen. There will he an enor mously increased demand for our natural prod nets, such as iron, and just now coal; and our manufactured products are also rapidly making their way, in certain lines, such as agricultural implements, tools and light vehicles, in fact whatever it is necessary to combine lightness with strength, we are away ahead of the rest of tiie world, and it is only because we have not cultivated the foreign markets with sutlicient assiduity that wo have given our competitors a ghost of a show. In other lines than those mentioned above, such as ladies* line shoes and others that the writer could mention, we also form a class by ourselves superior to I lie rest of the world. These conclusions |are drnwu from personal observations in many countries. A second point which ought to he well presented is that of expansion. You no doubt are aware of the greater or less persecution which the .lews have under gone in all the countries of the world, and are still undergoing today. Therefore one of the tilings that we desire to see established above all others is the univer sal principle of the right of any decent man to go anywhere where he thinks lie can improve his rendition and enjoy all the rights and immunities of a native, without being put to any disadvantage lieenuse of his religion. There are really only two eouutries that give this privi lege; these are the I’nlted Stales uud (treat Itritain. We know that freedom for all, equality for all, and safety and protection for all. are guaranteed wherever the Stars and Stripes tloat; hence we were expansion ists from the start and will he until the end. Wherever a country is practically under American jurisdiction, it,is a good tiling for that couutii : it is a good thing for Immunity, and a thing that is so good in mad fuil to bo a good thing for the country itself in the end, though it may hi costly ilt tile iH'gintlillg These are the points which we think ought to to* emphasised. The «|itestlotis ought to Is' treated in the very broadest nut; details do Uol cotiut.

President McKinley owns a farm. A Croat cioal huw been written nbout Mr. Bryan's farm, but heretofore no descrip tion of Mr. McKinley's broad expanse of corn fields, meadows, cow pastures and orchards, which comprise l(S2,/4 acres. His well-kept barns, corn cribs and wag on sheds show care and thrift. The wool on the bucks of 200 sheep shines with cleanliness, for McKinley's farm is n model one and a modern one. Unlike the famous Nebraska farm of the Democratic candidate for President, the public knows little about it* Two miles from Minerva, one mile from Bayard, Ohio, it stands on a slopinc parcel of ground surmounted by the orchards of Baldwin apples. The Cleveland and Pittsburg Railroad crosses n corner of the farm and the Hie Sandy canal courses through the field at one side of the main road. ealres is also an occupation. Ten tine horses nro constantly employed. These are all draft horses. Two hundred sheep graze on the hillside. One season 175 sheep were sold from this place. This shows what a good market there i« for the wool anil mutton which collies from the President's farm. The chickens num ber more thim 200. The man who lias charge of Mr. Mc Kinley’s farm is \Y. J. Adams, formerly of Canton, but who was raised In Penn sylvania. He is a farmer who under stands his business, and it is said, in the vicinity, that there is not a more prosper ous farm in nil that section, lie has a half interest in everything. The fences are all kept up and there is an appear ance of neatness which marks hik work. Mr. Adams lias lived on this place for the tins' twenty years, and Mr. McKinley is delighted with him. The Main Barns on President McKinley's Farm. McKinley's farm is a profitable one. In any season when crops arc good it yields richly. This year's potato crop will probably aggregate 2,000 bushels. The corn fields have been known to pro duce as high as 3,.V)0 bushels in a single year. Last year the meadows produced 1<H) tons of hay. The oats crop this year aggregates some 700 bushels. This is apple butter making time in this section of the country. Many of the apples on McKinley's farm, just at the present time, are being made into apple butter. The large orchard is an impor tant part of McKinley’s farm. One good year 1,700 bushels of Ha Id wins were I gathered and as many more of other I kinds kinds, making a total yield of noar j Iv :j,r>0O bushels, l’art of the produce of the farm bus been shipped to Canton from*time to time to the McKinley home, but-mute has ever been sent to Washing ton. Canton is about twenty miles from the farm. Selling milk is one of the industries of the farm. There are twenty-five head of cattle. There are nine milch cows. Some of them are blooded stock. liaising I'h«* residence is n two-story structure, built sixty yours ak°- If is now getting quilo old in uppearnnct*. I t shelters eleven rooms. Tin* porch is about the size of M Kinky's fa moils front porch at dan toil, otid then on to the upright part there is n wing which is n story anil a half in hi ght. The lawn is well kept,- and morning glories grow upon the fences ut one side. Besides the house, there are six build ings on the farm. There is the main burn, the sheep barn, the two large wag on sheds, the scale house and the pig pen. The accompanying picture shows the main barn to the right and the main wagon shed to the left. The McKinley farm is visited eueh year liy people who, on passing through that section, hear of the President’s farm and are curious to sec what kind of a farmer lie is. One visitor once asked for a fence rail for a souvenir of his visit. The Adams family has heroine used to kodak fiends and fully realize that to re side on the President's farm is to be, in a sense, in the public eye.—\V. Prank Met'lure.
