Washington than ever before in Its
history. For the first time the total

Last year the total amount of the

that he hoped to pass the three bi-

that he would be able to do It.

How Workers Were Duped.
When the Payne-Aldrlch-Taft bill
was pending the hosiery mill workers
of eastern Pennsylvania petitioned the
congress to Increase the tariff on hos-
iery as specified by the manufacturers.
They had been promised a restoration
of recently reduced wages If the de-
sired revision were granted, and there
was gloomy prediction of low wages
In case of refusal. Now they are get-
ting their reward. Instead of receiv-
ing more wages on the day the tariff
bill was signed, according to prom-
iae. they have been notified that wages
will not be restored until March 1,
1910. In addition, 'be number of
hours of labor has been Increased

The average value of lumber import-
ed from Canada Is $18.74 a thousand.
The maximum provision of the Payne
law provides for an automatic In-
crease of 26 per cent, ad valorem on
March 31, 1910. This would amount
,0 n.68 per thousand, which, added to
the l'ayne schedule of $1.26 a thou-

Some farmers

mistaken idea, says fanners' Review
Crop rotation adds nothing to Du-
land. HOW about the turning under

There is doubtless a ti
when the farmer will put Into practice
the principles wherein the ntanufat
turer the world over has found the
secret of success. To one as to the
other business applies the rule of a
maximum of product with a minimum
both of labor cost and of waste. There
needs to be kept In mind, as this conn
try grows older, the homely maxim
about making two blades grow where
£rew only one. The cost of labor in
creases with the area cultivated faster
than with the crop to lie harvested.
says the Missoula. Mont . Missoulan.
The use of machinery modifies, but
does not abrogate, this law The de-
mand of the world for wheat, it Is
true, has Increased enormously; but
Canada and Argentina have been
added to the sources of supply.
It Is only by decreasing the cost
of production in relation to the cul !
tlvated aera thai the farmer or the
I'nited States can hold Ills own in
wheal, where he lacks the approach
to monopoly that natural advantages
have granted the southern cotton
grower. There are probably few farm
ers who have closely ligured the m
erage cost of marketing any given
unit of their crops, as the manufactur-
er ilgures upon each article he turns
out. As long as there was nothing to
be done hut to plow and to sow anil
to reap and to count up the total re-
sult such calculations were not nee
essary or called for In the iinal analy-
sis Hut that easy time Is rapidly h.
coming evanesceftt. It Is the man who
now makes two blades grow where
one grew before, not two blades upon
twice the urea of ground, who is on
