AMERICAN PIONEER IN CANADA.

The marked aridity which charac-terizes bo much of the United Stateswest of the hundredth meridian ex-

tends over the border for some distanceinto Canada. Assiniboia and South-ern Alberta are quite uncertain as to,rainfall. In the early days of the Ca-

nadian Pacific railway one or two at--'

tempts were made by English compa-

nies to carry on farming on a largeicale, but they were pronounced fail-ures, according to a writer In Book-lorcr-s

Magazine. This want of suc-cess gave that part of the CanadianWest a black eye that no amount ofbeefsteak and that It was suitable forcattle-raisin-g was easily demonstrated

could wholly remove. Indeed, notsnly the incorporate Englishman butthe individual Englishman blacklistedthe country.

Thus Assiniboia and Alberta lay un-der a ban and gave a general shadycharacter to the whole country out-side of Manitoba, until it was redis-

covered by the Western Americanfarmer. This matchless pioneer wasfamiliar with lands where rain is con-sidered an almost unwarranted intrusion, and his opinion was that in thesouthern territories of the CanadianWest the rainfall was sufficient forall practical purposes, and furthernorth ail that could be desired. Thisdiscovery marked a new era In theprogress of the West.

Saved Bis Lire.Whitehall, III., June S. Mr. Lon

Manley had Bright's Disease and afterhis home doctor had treated him forsometime he finally told him that hecould do nothing more for him, andthat he would surely die.

A friend who had heard of whatDodd's Kidney Pills had done in casesof Kidney Trouble, advised Mr. Man-le- y

to try a treatment of this remedy.He did so and everyone was Sur-

prised and delighted to sec an improve-ment in a very short time. This im-provement gradually kept on as thetreatment proceeded, till now Mr. Man-le- y

is well. He says:"The doctor said he had done all he

could for me. He gave me up. Afriend advised me to take Dodd's Kid-ney Pills, and in a few weeks I wasnearly all right again.

"I am not dead, and can truthfullyFay that I feel better to-da- y than 1

have for years. Dodd's Kidney Pillsare remedy and I will al-ways praise them and recommendthem to everyone suffering as I did."

Mr. Manley's recovery has caused aprofound sensation, as no one everthought he would recover.

WESTERN CANADA'S IMMIGRA.TION.

Rapid Settlement of the Fields IiTincNorth of the 40th Parallel.

(From the Chicago Kecord-IIerald-

"Canada has anticipated a veryheavy immigration this year, and shenow has figures to show that she isactually getting it in a way to meet allher expectations. In the first fourmonths of this year the doors of theDominion opened to 40,672 persons, ac-

cording to a report prepared by thecommittee on agriculture and colonization of the Canadian Parliament Thisis almost twice as large as the immi-gration In the corresponding monthslast year, and fully three times aslarge as In 1901, the respective figuresbeing 22,482 and 13,393.

"Most of these newcomers havebeen attracted by the wheat lands ofthe Northwest territories. They havemoved direct from Winnipeg and theyhave turned that city into a greatcamp, in which they have been fittingthemselves out for the last stage oftheir adventure for new homes.

"Of the immigration of this springa little over a third has come fromGreat Britain, the figure being 10,457.This is three times as large as theBritish immigration of the correspond-ing months of the preceding year, andit is within 2.500 of the number of im-

migrants that the "United States at-tracted from Great Britain and Ire-land in the same period this spring. Asto the remainder of the immigrationinto Canada, 13,770 settlers came fromthe United States, a 50 per cent in-

crease over the preceding year, and10,445 from Continental Europe, a 40per cent Increase.

"These 40,072 immigrants Into Can-ada may appear trifling in comparisonwith the 297,070 persons who enteredthe United States in the same period,but they are proportionately more Im-

portant to the country. Canada's pop-ulation is th of ours, buther immigration is nowas large as ours. It Is worth remembering also that Canada's immigrantsare almost entirely of Anglo-Saxo- n andTeutonic races, while our immigrationis now two-third- s made up of Romanceand Slav elements.

"Speculation is natural aa to the fu-

ture of Canada in her relations to theUnited States when her Northwest ter-ritories are filled up, but the one ab-solutely certain fact of the near fu-

ture is that the United States is tohave a great competitor in the grainmarkets of the world."

The above editorial article takenfrom the columns of the Chicago

of May 26 shows the condi-tion of the Canadian immigration,which as pointed out, has had a con-stant growth a marvelously increas-ing growth for the past six or sevenyears, until this year, it is confidentlyassumed, the increase to Canada's pop-ulation, by way of immigration, willexceed 100,000. This is accounted foiby the great agricultural resourceswhich abound there. It is no fairytale, but the matter-of-fa- experienceof the tens of thousands bear ampletestimony to the wealth and riches instore for all who choose to accept olthe opportunities offered.

IvtfSvS$ POLITICS S

THE P0ST0FFICE SCANDAL.

Mw

Aitaintr in the Wronc Dlrecttion.The American Society of Equity of

Indianapolis has issued a bulletin tothe farmers of the United States, de-

manding an increase In the price "of

wheat, arguing that the minimumprice of wheat should be 51 a busheland urging the farmers of the UnitedStates not to sell for less than $1. Thesociety was organized a year ago withthat city as national headquarters tomaintain higher prices for farm pro-ducts by of the farmersof the country and this is the firstformal demand for the increase inprices.' The bulletin reasons that be-

cause of the low visible supply ofwheat and the high cost of productionowing to high prices for most othercommodities, that ?1 at Chicago is onlyan equitable price for wheat. It says:

"Farmers, keep this matter in mind,keep dollar wheat at Chicago, beforeyou, and you will get It as sure as thesun rises In the east and sets in thiwest. We implore you, don't be fools."

It may be heresybut we would liketo suggest to the Equity Society thatthere is another and an easier andmore certain way for the farmers toaccomplish the result aimed at, and itdoes not Involve the risk, and almostcertain failure, of attempting to imi-

tate the manufacturing trusts.The farmers have never succeeded,

and probably never will succeed, informing a trust which will enablethem to force up the price of any im-

portant product 10 per cent. Not only

SOMETHING DOING" IN

are there too many farmers, verywidely scattered, but they are not, asare the manufacturers, protected bytariff duties on their products excepton sugar and a few other less impor-tant products which we do not raiseIn sufficient quantities to expdrt large-ly. In the case of wheat, the price isfixed in Liverpool and it Is not certainthat If our farmers should refuse tosell and we ceased entirely to export,that the foreign price would reach theequivalent of dollar wheat at Chicago.

But the tariff on manufactured goods.Is effective because there are compara-tively few manufacturers in any line,because they often have a monopolyof the mines or materials used and be-

cause they usually have potential oractual competition from foreign goodsIn our home markets which wheatgrowers do not have. Because" of theeand other reasons, the manufacturershave been able to form successfultrusts and to take advantage of thehigh tariff duties. They have thusforced up the prices that the farmersmust pay for manufactured goods anaverage of alout 40 per cent since theDIngley tariff bill became law. Theprices of many articles, such as barbwire, wire nails, tin plate, windowglass, etc.. have been forced up 100,200 or 300 per cent in our markets,tbougli sold at very low prices to for-eigners.

If tariff duties ou trust productswere taken off, manufactured goodswhich now sell for ?1 would sell foroidy CO cents. The farmer could thenbuy as much with his bushel of wheat,selling at 73 cents at Chicago, as hewould get If he could force the priceof wheat up to ?1, while paying thepresent high trust prices for his goods.

It is entirely feasible for the farmers,by voting for no tariff on trust goods,to reduce the cost of what they haveto buy. It is not at all feasible forthem to get together long enough to ar-tificially raise the price of wheat :J0per cent or 40 per cent. The farmersare the backbone of protection in thiscountry, altbough. as a leading repub-lican Hon. Ben Iluttcrworth said in1S90, "Tlie manufacturers and theTrusts get the protection and the profits of the tariff the farmer gets thehusks and humbug."

As was clearly sdiown by the 1902flection, tlie workingmen of the great;ities voted against the trusts and thehigh tariff which have so greatly increased the cost of living, while thefarmers voted strongly in favor ofboth. Just why farmers should con-tinue to vote for a system that takesmoney out of their pockets and putsnone into them, is one of our unsolvedpolitical problems.

If instead of agitating for impossibleJollar wheat, (unless produced bynatural causes in the rest of the worldithe Equity Society will advise farmersto discuss the tariff-trus- t question intheir grange and other organizationsnnd to vote for their own pockets allthe time, just as the manufacturershave always been doing, great goodwill result, not only to the farmersbut- - to all laborers, mechanics andprofessional men. The cost of livingwill be greatly reduced and entirely atthe expense of tlie trusts. In fact,both farmers and laborers generallywill be benefited by the greatir amountof manufactured goods which wouldbe used, if they wore sold at more rea-

sonable prices. As more factory em-

ployes would be needed to make moregoods, not only would factory wagestend to rise, but the farmer wouldsoon have a bigger home market forhis products.

The doom of protection will lie seal- -

OF THE DAY M

ed when the farmers begin serlouBly todiscuss the tariff question and to real-

ize what it means to them. This dis-

cussion Is what the Republicans arctrying to prevent. They tell the farmetthat the tariff is politics and muttherefore be tabooed in the grnnge andother farmers organizations. Whatnonsense. The tariff Is business; justevery-da- y common dollars-and-cent- s

business to the farmers. When thafarmers find this out and begin to gelan idea of what "protection" has costthem they will be mad all through andwill bo looking for somebody to kickthem all around a ten-acr- e field.ISyron W. Holt.

Old Foccr Georse Washington.George "Washington's view of the

Presidency as an office that "shouldneither bo sought nor declined" is

and antiquated. In factGeorge himself is a back number.When he lived there was no telegraphfrom Walla Walla to Cleveland overwhich he could notify the politician's,a year in advance, that he was out fora renomination and that "he who Is

not for me is against me."

Roosevelt's Words and Acts.In one of his speeches, 3Ir. Roose-

velt said: "Xo law will ever make acoward brave, a fool wise, or a weak-ling strong. All the law ca.n do Is

to shape things that no injustice, shallbe done by one to another and so thateach man shall lie given the chance to

show the stuff tlmt is in him." Andyet Mr. Roosevelt is the faithful cham-pion of a tariff law that takes moneyout of the pockets of the many to re-plenish the pockets of the few. Heobjects to the destruction of the shel-ter which the trusts find In the tariffand he does not appear to be disturbedbecause under Republican administra-tion the law is molded to shape thingsso that justice is done, to the benefitof a comparatively small number ofmen to the great disadvantage of themasses. The Commoner. -

Political Pot Ponrrl.The worst feature about the Post

Office scandal is that so many Con-gressmen must have been aware ofsome of the misdoings and partici-pated in the plunder to the extentof getting their friends appointed tooffice or tlie salaries of those alreadythere considerably raised.

The Republican program for the in-

coming Congress is to avoid any po-

litical legislation and adjourn in May.There is to be no tariff or trust leg-islation, but a financial bill is to bepasstd. This is certainly not a stren-uous1 program, but thou sometimesplans of the wisest miscarry and thavoters may not be satisfied with a

policy when trust pricesprevail.

The Agricultural Department detail-ed an expert last year to examine intotlie feeding grounds of canvass backduckf, which, from the changed flavorof that expensive luxury, it was fearedwere running out. This year anotherexpert Is ou tlie same errand. Farmer"Wilson, who is supposed to run theDepartment, and probably wants tohelp his millionaire and trust friendswho are fond of canvass back andtovapin.

The Republican organs are verybusy selecting tlie Democratic candi-date for President and of course de-

clare that no matter who is nominatedhe cannot win. They will find thatthe Democrats, when the time comesfor selecting delegates, will send theirbest men to the convention and theywill agree on a platform and candidates that will command the votes ofall Democrats and keep the Republi-cans busy until the votes are counted.

A foreign consul at Manila reportsto his government that business in thePhilippines is stagnant and Mnnila isflooded with unemployed Americans.Tlie government censor does not ap-

pear to tell us the whole truth aboutour new possessions and the Repub-lican newspapers and politicians wouldnot publish it. Even the President,who must know the exact conditionof affairs, docs not at all agree withthe consular report.

GROWTH OF MORMONI8M.

At Present 1,000 Missionaries Artnonaged in Proselyting.

The Mormon chureS is abating noneof Its wonderful activity. There arenow 700 missionaries actively engagedin this country and an equal numberIn Northern Europe. In the Pacific Is-

lands and the Orient 200 more workersare engaged in preaching to the

pagan races. For a number ofyears, says John It. Winder, first coun-

selor to the president of tlie church,the church has kept from 1,000 to 2.000men constantly engaged in the workof propaganda. This Is entirely un-

selfish on the part of those who per-

sonally engage in It. and also on thopart of the church. Outside of theUnited States the- - most successfulwork is being carried on among theScandinavian races, for these peopleaccept our gospel the most readily.

The Hawaiian group of islands hasproved a fertile field, and there 2,000converts have been made in the lastseven years. Within the last eighteenmonths a promising mission has beenopened In the City bf Slexico, wherethere Is a membership of 200 natives.

Apart from the accessions from out-

side sources, the increase among the.Latter Day Sainta Is greater thanamong any other community In theland, and the growth of the church Isdue more to this natural increase thanto additions by proselyting.

For example, iu 1001 we had in at-

tendance in our Sabbatli schools 55,327male pupils, 5S,r98 female pupils and13,193 young men nnd women teach-ers; making a total of 120.123 youngpeople.

The total membership of the Mor-

mon church, according to the last cen-

sus, was 300.000. which, shows thatnearly one-hal- t Its" communicants areyoung people connected with its Sun-

day schools..Every care, adds Mr. Winter. Is

taken to Instruct .the youth of thechurch in the faith of their fathers.The older settlements in Utah havebeen veritable human hives. Althoughthe main body of Mormons Is In theState of Utah, numbering about 158,-00-0

souls, their settlements are consid-

erable in many other States. In Ohiothere are 10.G7S members of theChurch of Latter Day Saints; in Iowa.5,303; in Arizona, 0,500; in Missouri,B.1S9; in Colorado, 1.7G2; In California,1,300, and Wyoming, 1.3S0.

Capt of the JJnltbd States navytold the following story about a cer-

tain shallow pated nawal chaplain whowas looked upon with scant respect byhis brother oflicers. From travelingsalesman the man had turned preach-er, and, backed by Influence, came toWashington in Mr. Cleveland's time toget a naval chaplaincy.

"Well, Mr. . I'll do my part, anjway. Good morning."
