The live stock of the country is said to be worth 700 millions of dollars more than during the hard times, the staple crops 400 millions of dollars more, oth er crops 200 millions of dol lars more, and the produce of live stock such as meats, dairy products, hides, and .pelts r etc . , 370 millions of dollars more. This change for the better in the value of farm prod ucts has completely . altered the condition 'of the agricul- t u ral classes ; 1 Th ey have made money and have excel lent p rospec ts for th e fu ture, :while their property has also; appreciated in val- ue. jnow xnat tnev are en joying a period ; of substan tial prosperity, i t would . be an opportune i time for them to give their active support to the good roads movement .

' the American Economist :in Ste , Genevieve, Mo., writes . as follows concerning the diff erence in the political status of Hawaii and Porto Rico: ThfiTrepublicans here arewat a loss how to refute the charges made by the demo crats that the republican party has shown Unjust discrimination in the matter of adopting Free Trade with Hawaii and then imposing a Tariff amounting j to .. 15 per, cent of Dingley Tariff ; rates - on im ports and exports passing between Porto Rico and the United States. Even "Puck", brings this allegation to the front with a cartoon in its last issue. You . will . con fer a favor by.giving us an explanation with which to defend ourselves. ; The answer to this query is so simple, so easy and so clear that it convicts of .the offence of deliberate perver sion of fact a 1 Free-Trade newspapers which have sought to show inconsisten cy and unfairness on the part of ours government in its treatment of Hawaii and Porto Rico respectively . The distinction between the two cases consist in the fact that whereas Porto Rico is con quered territory and comes to us without pre-imposed conditions as to any and all of the privileges of citizen ship in the great republic, Hawaii comes to us volun tarily, seeking annexation un der specified conditioas. . A mong these conditions was a stipulation for unrestricted commercial intercourse be tween Hawaii and the Uni ted States. At the time the treaty of annexation was ratified by the two countries Hawaii was and for several years had been enjoying the benefits of absolute Free Trade with the United States through the provisions of a reciprocity treaty entered in to several years ago. It will thus be seen that while Ha waii had an . equal voice in stipulating the conditions of annexation , Porto Rico ber ing territory wrested from Spain by conquest; came to us as the spoils of war v and without stipulations or con ditions. 1 In the history of wars of all times no conquer ed people has been treated with magnanimity and liber ality equal to that accorded to Porto Rico through the act, of the United States Congress in establishing a Tariff amounting to only a bou t 4 per; cent . ad val ore m and in providing that : every dollar ;of , money V collected under that tari ff. jsho uld be turned back to Porto Rico for the benefit of its -people.

The statement, it says, rests upon bmcial tigures. A few. years ago,"' when the McKinley bill was be fore Congress, one of its pro visions was that there should be a duty upon tin -;. plat e : The tin " plate industry of this country" was . not , then even in its infancy, but the advocates of that duty be lieved that under a Protec tive Tariff it could be devel oped as other industries had been developed before Wi t h -out the slightest equivocation they made this point, and despite ridicule and 'abuse they held to their belief and practically forced the tin plate provision through both houses. The Free' Trade organs yelled corruption un til they got tired of the sound of their own voices, and then quit . from sheer desperation . But the duty on tin plate" waylaid. " The figures as . they are now recorded show what a Protective Tariff will do when levied with a conscien tious regard for the welfare of the whole people. At the time the McKinley bill was pending no tin plate at all was being manufactured in this country. During the year 1891 we imported one billion " thirtj'-six million popnds, but last year there was manufactured in this country sevenreights of all the tin plate which was used. The predictions in the mat ter of the manufacture' of steel rails were again realized to the intense disgust of the Free Traders. . Tin plate was their last ditch, and they were swept from it even more easily than from the first. . . J It is, of course, held that 4 4 the growth was forced," and that there will be a re action of vast magnitude be fore many months. Possibly there will; Put while we await that consummation thousands of American work ihgmen are earning living wages in the industry which the. Free Traders foredoom ed to destruction , and which we have no doubt they would gladly have destroyed. A3 in the ,case . of steel rails, however there is a .chance that they will not live to have that wish gratified, each .year having,, added, to thie vigor of the ;4tin' plate baby ;'' Because a given thing was never done before is no reason in. this age why it cahhdtbe done now, Agen eration hence: projectsiwhich excite only ridicule now ill a'public that1 , once toughed at the projectors will be en joying the -benefits of the latter 's' genius and invention .
