Moving the Crops.
The statement that the Treasury
Department will give more attention to
keeping plenty of small bills and silver
in circulation than to maintaining |the
gold balance during the next two
months is explained by the fact that
this is the crop moving season. As the
crops are purchased at first hands in
small lots the currency required to
make quick and easy payments must be
largely in bills of small denominations
and the estimate of $25,000,000 in one
and two-dollar notes which will be re-
quired for this use seems quite low
enough. The chances are that it is
under rather than up to the real extra
demand.
To the great public the chief interest
in this statement lies in the fact that it
marks the beginning of the crop mov-
ing season. Whether the particular
kind of currency needed for this service
shall be $25,000,000 or twice that
amount concerns only the buyers and
sellers themselves. The fact that the
, great staple crops are to be moved, giv-
‘ing increased employment to railways,
canals and steamship lines and quicken-
ing industries in a thousand directions,
concerns everybody. The moving of
the crops means that the farmers will
have miney to spend with the mer-
chants and manufacturers, and that new
impetus will be given to the already
reviving business of the country.
Fortunately for the nation in general
and the farmers in particular, the crop
diversification has been in the right
llll'tciloll this year. There have been
less cotton and wheat planted than us-
The markets were already over-
stocked with both. More corn and
potatoes have been planted, staples
with which the markets were not over.
stocked, and the crops of ‘both are
-3
mil.
above the average, that of corn being ,
the greatest ever known. As if nature
had been trying to help the farmers
restore the equilibrium, the crop con-
ditions elsewhere are likely to cause a
liVer demand for all our staples.
Unless all signs fail, it will thus come
about that the wheat and cotton pro-
ducers with smaller crops than usual
will get more money by an appreciation
in prices than they formerly secured for
a greater yield of their respective sta-
pics, with the big corn and potato crops
in reserve to fill all possible demands
both at home and abroad. On the
whole, the crops seem to fit the markets
better this year than usual and the
preparations for moving them will be
lihilcd by everybody as the signal for
the. beginning of a very busy and profit-
able fall and winter season.
Have We the Right ?
Bishop John P. Newman, in speaking
of Chinese missions the other day, said:
“The question has arisen, Have we the
right to go into other countries and at.
tempt to shake the established religion?
I think not, for when you attack a man’s
religion, that which has been his since
the dawn of intelligence, that man is
going to fight. The same question was
answered by a confereiibe in England
this year, when resolutions were adopt-
ed condemning the recent act of brutal-
ity on the part of the Chinese, by ac-
knowledging that the power of mission-
aries did not extend to coercion. It is
the philosophy and philanthrophy of
the Christain people that disseminate
the only true religion broadcast through
the land.”
- Don’t Miss it.
On nextl‘donday evening, Hoyt’s “A
'l‘rip to Chinatown,” will be played at
, regular theatre prices at Hoyt’s Opera
House. Our theatre-goers who have
seen this skit before will see new faces,
features and wardrobes, and also new
scenery. There will appear in this farce
on this occasion, two new stars, namely
Laura Bigger and Bert Haverly, who
will play their old parts in which they
have achieved success everywhere, that
of the widow, and “Welland Strong,"
respectively. The company that will
support them is made up of very tal-
ented people, each and everyone being
artists. '

Against the Town.
In the'case of Mrs. Susan Anderson
against the town of New Canaan, which
was heard by the County Commission-
ers, the latter have decided that the
town must work the Cheese-spring
Ridge road and pay the costs.
IRON ON A BOOM.
Prices Ate Rising and the ’ Outlook to
‘ Brightening Daily.
Pursnunc, Sept. 6.-'1‘he- last advance
" in the prices of pig iron .and the action of
the Western Bar Iron association at Cleve-
land in raising the rates on all bar iron $2
a. ton open the way for advances in other
branches of manufacture. The advance in
the price of bar iron puts common bar at
$28 a ton. It was the direct result of the
rapid advance in pig iron rates, and the
movements in that line indicate that man-
ufacturers will be compelled shortly to
make another advance to 830 a ton. The
new rate on bar iron will,'if maintained
until Nov. 1, give the Amalgamated asso«
ciation puddlers $4.75 a ton and an ad-
vance for all finishers as well. If the
present upward tendency is sustained, the
manufacturers may advance bar iron to
$30 a ton.
Every sheet and plate mill in the United
States is in operation to the fullest capac-
ity, and, as with the manufacturers ,of
structural material, a. time limit has been
established for the delivery of sheets and
plates. Only orders for long time delivery
are accepted now, but prices are slow to
respond to the situation. The sheet and
plate mills can be run steadily for several
months on orders given during the past
few weeks, and at the rate demands are
coming in the outlook could not be better.
Bufi‘eted A’Sont c'ape Horn.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 6.-—The Brit-
ish ship Machrihanish, 144 days from
Swansea, has arrived. In J une she was
hove to for five days off Cape Horn.
Heavy seas swept her, smashing her boats
and sweeping everything movable into
the sea. A tidal wave buried her once,
and at another time a blizzard froze her
rigging so that she was unmanageable.
A Lynching Prevented.
NEW WHATCOM, Wash, Sept. 6.—Tho
sheriff was preparing to bring R. H.
Straub to New What'com for safe keeping.
A mob had been organized to lynch him.
A launch arrived, and Lieutenant Garden,
its commander, announced that he would
shoot any man who fired on the United
States flag or upon any man under its
protection. The mob retreated.
