Sept. 17. The monthly Vrop reports winch arc issued bv the department of agriculture, always are oi great interest during the liarves moat Its of the year. Not onlv are thev watched for with cng-erness In the Hgrieultural interests of the country l.... .1 i . : u' mey piay an important part in Mtnplnjr theeourse of tinaneial move ments. During' most tdT the year only general bulletins lind their way Into print, statin the general condition of Tartous crops in the severalstntes. The report, however, for the month of ieplemtwr will Ye one of preneral interest throughout the south and we.-t, es . ptfoinlly where it touches upon the corn and cotton crops, the two great western und southern staples. The corn crop, which is iriven below in reports from the separate counties of the stutes m question, shows the lowest condition for the month of September since 1SS1. The decline has been very decided in all of the surplus corn states except Illinois. The cause of this sudden reduction was a persistent and unprecedented drought, supplemented in Nebraska, Kansas and Iowa by scorching- winds. As an effect of the extreme drought a special report from Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin. Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota shows that out of O.STS.OSt acres planted, 15,500,000 acres, or 35 per cent,, have been abandoned or cut up for fodder. This is a loss of 20 per cent, of the entire corn average. The corn report from Texas by coun ties is as follows: Cameron county, present plaatfns promises root! returns; Coke, short at least per cent. tiy hot winds: Harrison, injured by rants; FrceKtone. injurod by drought: Clny. never better; Cleveland, about 31 m.r cent, cron: KauCman injured by drought.

A.s the tight i ng progressed u not her Chinese war ship was set on tiiennd destroyed, but the remaining eight, only one of which was unin jured, together with the six gunboats. succeeded in getting away. The Japanese war ships MatMishima and Hi Yei were slightly damaged, and one of the armed transports was seriously crippled, but none of the Japanese ships were lost, the Japanese loss was twenty men known to have been killed and forty-six wounded, The big guns of the battleship Chen i uen were disabled, but she continued to use tier smatier guns, i ne vessels . ,1 a of both lleet. worked verv ensUv under steam, and the Japanese were con stantly maneuvering but the Chinese held their original position. Suddenly two Japanese cruisers, believed to have Wen the Akitstishimn and the Yoshino. endeavored to break the line. They were followed by three torpedo boats. As the Japanese ships advanced at full speed the Chinese ships Chang l uen and Chao ung backed full speed astern toaroid disaster. The Japanese . , . , . . , . , lorpeoo rHiats nreo. out their pro jectiles were stopped by nets. The guns of the other Chinese ships were quickly trained on the two Japanese cruisers, and they retired after a short time almost helpless. The Chinese declare they were sunk. The Ching Yuen was several times pieieed by shells. The Ciioa Yung run ashore while retreating, and became a target for the Japanese guns until she was set on lire. The Ching Yuen was in a terrible plight. A shell burst through her decks and she slowly foundered, while llames burst from all parts of her. The Tsi Yuen withdrew from the first into the second column. The Chinese torpedo ltoats vainlv at tempted to put the Japanese on the de fensive, but the Japanese remained the aggressors throughout, although two or three attempts to break the Chinese line were repulsed.

Tlc wm of thf Nal It.ittle at the nnfw I.rirutioii. lapWashington, Sept. 21. Official information is obtained here of the United Press report that four Chinese vessels were sunk and one burned in the recent naval battle. The statement in the first account of the battle that three Japanese vessels had gone down was doubted by the ollieials of the Japanese legation, Weause no vessels in the Japanese navy had names such as those given. One of the ships was called the Saiko and it was thought that this might mean the Japanese vessel Saiko which had Wen used as a transport Wtween Shang-Hai and Yokohama. JN'atnrally elated over the success of the Japanese licet, the otlicials of the legation predict the ultimate success of the Mikado's forces, and it will be easily seen that the claim is uot born merely of enthusiastic belief in the superioritj of the Japanese. China has lost five of her Wst war ships. They were undoubtedly the Wst she had, anil as good naval vessels are not built in a day. the chances for augmenting her naval force are very small indeed. It is safe to assert that by the great victory off Hai Yang Tao, Japan has obtained full possession of the gulf of 1'eehil which is the key to an invasion of the Flowery Kingdom. A strong Japanese licet stationed there stands little chance of Wins. routed, and Japanese troops can be landed in China and Conn without serious danger. With the Chinese northern licet eripplcd and the southern lleet of little use. on account of the ancient character of ils vessels, the Chinese are not likely to make any advance on the strong force of the enemy in the gulf of Pechil.

There has been so much republican misrepresentation of tho new sugar obedu.t and u much effort to confuse the public mind that It U no wonder that some are wprlsedto Und that the sugar schedule oi the tariff reform bill tsa distinct and emphatic triumph fur tariff reform, Th best ay to explain tho sugar tariff U to tell the story of ugar legislation There are three stages. 4)f sugar ic.rhlatlou tho republican stae lf re the M.-Kintey bill, the stage of the McKinley bill and tho present new stage of the democratic tariff reform bill. The sugar tariff before the McKinley bill was a to-called revenue tariff on all sugar coming into tho t'mted Mates. It was a graduated

scale vt duties, rising with the quality or grade of tfcj Migar The average duty was alwu Si. cents is,-r jtound. lhe.se duties, wall? chiefly for revenue. nctid as a icry high protect loo to tho I.ouMnn sugar growers, but that was tKipularly supposed to to their only protective feature. There was no annouuvment in the bill that there was any protection for tho sugar rctlncrs. There as. hon ever, hidden in that bcheduleof graduated duties a practical protection for the retlnor. Mow xnmh it amounted to was not generally known. It w; not public property. It was probably one-half cent a pound Hut the protection was there. It was u port of the protective system of tho repub lican party to protect renders and sugar farm ers, so much for the ürt xtagu of tha hugar tariff. .Now comes tho McKinley bill. Tho renultIlcan party, when It went Into lower after lsss. found the government in the lstssession of a very larso revenue. It had a hundred mllMons of dollars a year surplus. Tho republicans saw that that was a temptation to tho people cad to their enemy, tho dumocratlc party, to tutduanthe protective tariff, because, as Uic povernnieut had moro in ney than it wanted. It a perfectly natural that it should cut down the taxes, and tlrst of all the protective tariff taxes. To remove that temptation and protect protection the republicans then In power mad up their minds to wipe out the surplus tlrst by largely increasing tho expenditures of the government by raising the expenditures to the uiuion-doiiar nure; but. that they did not . v. . n .. ....... .1 , w vuuu;u, mj luey ui.so cm conn mo in coae of the government by cutting off tho revenue part of the tariff ou sugar i50.o.0tf) a year. They wanted to destroy the surplus and create a deficit, and they actually turned u burplus of iIW.OW.O.0 lato a deficit of S7U.k.(XX so as to remove tho temptation of the it'opio to cut down protective taxes. llutthoy did not want to inlaw the protec tive feature of the sugar schedule. They did not want to take of? the protection to tao retit.crs. .Marl:, however, that, tho s.tuatlon In the reflaln; buslaess had changed. We did not make much objection tu this protective duty in thu old Um, x-artly because M y-jople l:uev nuthluj- about lt. and partly because at that tttao rtitimm; was free and tho cumpethion ucjon,' rotlners as very l:eea and Itept prices dona. Uut Ltfore the McKinley bill west Into operation th-t had bet-u chanud. The competit:oa bad ceased, and the suar trust had riSLn up and made relink a practical monop oly. Tho ihiKialey itwpte wanud to toe tho trust a biff protective duty on sugar, but they did not want tho government to Kut any revenue out of the sut.r. and the' consequence was that tho McKinley bill arranged that nit raw sujar cumins into. the country should come In tree, but no retlULd su;ar or fUf-nr that couid compete with that- produced by the trust couid come in tree. McKinley jravo tho trust tho advantage of free raw material, then highly protected tho trust'j product. He g-vo tho freu sua ar to tho trust! und the protected su-ar to the people. Itefined was tared one-rulf u cent a pound aad one-tenth of a cunt extra if it came from Oerxnauy or 1- rance, on the thtviry that those coun tries paid bounties to their susurtfrower. nut while this arrangement provided well for thu trust, the removal of the duties on raw sugars took away thr protection of Louisiana sugar growers, this lud to that extraordinary feature of the McKinley bUl creating a bounty of tuoicnts a poutid on ail sugar raised by thu farmers of Louisiana. Nebraska. Caliiorula and Vermont- it wts tie Urst bounty ever created in America, und It will douotles? be tho Usl. bo that v,as tho situation iu the Mc Kinley bill.

Oov. .Melvinle.v, In hisaddresn liar.gor, recited the old story of thedepres Bion of business, which occurred while his tariff law was in forcu ntd began to jjive way a.s boon as it was repealed. lie attributed the depression to tho democrats, because they were in power, but not to his bill, because it was in force. Well, the democrat' are still in pjivor, but the McKinley bill is no longer in force, and times uro inproving. lint uov. Melviniev sals the new tariff bill was "traded through," and that this ou-ht to condemn it. Indeed! Well, let us apply this a little further. How did the McKinley bill get through? Was there no trading about that? The trading began before tho Fifty first congress was elected. In the dark days of the campaign of ISS3, the trusts and combinations in teres tod in protection, the rich manufacturing corporations that had been tho chief beneticiaries of protection nccording to me numtssion oi high republican authority, were advised that the day of fat-frying had arrived. They heard the agonizing nppeal: "Help cash us, or we sink!" They put up the money to buy a presidency and a house of representatives, with the understand ing that the taxing power of the gov ernment was tobe turned over to thcui to do with as they pleased. Moro trades, however, were needed. The gentlemen up in Vermont, who make maple sugar out of some sort of combination of vegetable juices und i chemicals, concluded that they would .' . ... - like to be paid by the government for conducting their business. They had an advocate in the senate, and they got what they wanted, though Mr. lilatue would not believe it when ho first heard of it. The bill was in this way traded through. This instance, however, nnd manv similar ones that might be named was a trille compared to the trade mado over thu Miennan law. Tho silver mine senators held the balance of pow er on the republican side, xhey noti lied their fellow-republicans in the senate that the Sherman law, provid ing for the purchase of an amount ol silver substantially equal to-the Amer ican product, was the very least that they would accept as theirshareof tht i........ .... .. .. ... . . 1 uooev. iiiesc men were not. in luv senate fur their health, or with any view of promoting tho public good. They were there for promoting their own interests,, and they let' it bo known that the McKinley bill coula not pass unless silver was taken caro of.and they had theirwitl. The Sherman bill, in e.iunection with other republican legislation,. brought on tho panic All the republicans, except the free silver men, said so in the spring and early summer of lbU.t, when they wero anxious for the repeal of tho silver purchase clause. In other words Gov. McKinley traded his bill through, and orougnt on the panic that is too piain lor argument, anuyetJie has the hardihood to attribute the panic to the democrats, and to say that tho new tariff law is to be condemned because, it was "traded through." Atall events, it was not put through by a trade which brought on a panic Louisville-Cou rier Journal. OPINIONS AND POINTERS. The croakers can't stop tho return of good times.
