from their lair at Tarifa near
Gibraltar to levy tribute from
ships sailing upon the Mediter-
ranean,they were engaged in a
lawless, piratical warfare upon
trade which it was necessary for
civilized nations to suppress.
These pirates have been long
since quieted and their seaport,
Tarifa, from which the name of
the system came, is abondoned.
The legalised tariff tribute upon
commerce still flourishes in its
most flagrant form in the Ding-
ley Act. The question is how
much longer will this system of
piracy be permitted to levy tri-
bute upon the industries and
trade of the greatest nation of
the world.

When a town doe* not support
it** local daily’and weekly papers
properly, you need not look for’
any very great progress in that
locality. Local newspapers are
the sign boards * that tell the
stranger who thes people are, and
the class of business in which
they are engaged. Take a bus-
iness man who never patronizes
bis local newspaper, and you can
scrape enough moss off his back
to pad a sofa. His ideas have
more than enough room in a tea
cup, and he can not keep far

From what We can understand
there will be considerably more
corn planted this season than
ever before. The success with
June corn after the last overflow
was almost phenomenal—many
having a big surplus to ship, and
for which they realized such
good prices, that they believe it
can be done again. It would be
a good idea to plant a few good
grade hogs along with the corn.

We often bear it said “the new

there may be a good de of

not all of it. At the same time

Some Farm Statistics.
Tire Secretary of Agriculture
has presented his annual report
and has accompanied it With an
essay that may be in the nature
of a valedictory. Secretary Wil-
son is. the nestor of the cabinet
and he has held his present of-
flee longer than any of his pred-
ecessors and for a term covering
a wonderfully progressive era of
farm and crop improvement. He
shows that within ten years the
wealth production of the farms
of the country has been greater
than sixty billions of dollars. By
another statement he shows that
the value of farm products in
1899,, the Census year, being
taken at 100, the value in 1903 is
125; for 1904, 131; for 1905, 134;
for 1906/148; for 1907, 159 and
for 1908, 165. The value of the
corp crop almost staggers credu-
lity. The quantity is 2,643,000,000
bushels, valued at $1,615,000,000.
There are other statistics
showing a falling off in the reve-
nues of the government that to
the reflective mind should pro-
duce as much optimism as the
big corn or rye crop. The com-
missioner of the internal revenue
bureau, states in his annual re-
port, that for the last year, there
was a decrease in receipts of
$18,000,000 in round numbers, as
compared with the previous
year," and that this decrease
comes from the smaller manu-
facture and sale of spirituous
liquors. The decrease in gal-
lons taxed, as compared with
last year, is estimated at forty
millions. The commissioner ac-
counts for this by the prohibi-
tion movement, the .high price of
corn, and the agreement among
distillers to curtail production.

There is no question but what
Bonner has figured it out cor-
Congressman Burton of Ohio
proved a formidable opponent in
the race for Senator and the pa-
pers tell us that Mr. Taft has
, withdrawn in his favor. Senator
Foraker has seen the bandwrit-
ing on the wall and will also re-
tire from the race, thus leaving
the field wide open to the wiley
congressman.
It is now almost a, certainty
that the next Texas legislature
will pass a law requiring guaran-
tee of bank deposits in this state,
similar to that now in force in
Oklahoma. And why not? Be-
fore loaning money, banks re-
quire a guarantee from the bor-
rower. Depositors should be
likewise protected. *

thereon by contractors. We un

by Mrs. G. W. L. Carr. The
erection is also contemplated of
another story to the building, to
be used as a Sunday school, but
this improvement will not take
place for some time, as plans are
not fully matured.
