Is gold appreciating? Not much, A gold dollar will buy less wheat and other l&rm products than it did six months or a year ago.

SPAIN'S National debt is SI,705,000,000, and her annual interest charges are $S9,000,000, while her gross annual income is less than $150,000,000.

THE farmers of the west who last year fell in with the Bryan rot about "resisting the demtsnds of a foreign power," are saying nothing just now about the foreign demands for wheat, which is creating a fair price for that cereal in this country.

Ix lias been decided that township trustees cannot build any part of the fence between school grounds and adjoining farms. School grounds need not be inclosed, as the stock law prevents the damage by stock, and farmers must do their own fencing to keep

their own stock in.

DIKKCTOH of the Mint Preston predicts that silver will within six months Bink to 40 cents an ounce:. That would make the bullion in our standard silver dollar worth 31 cents, and the commercial ratio between silver and gold 53 to 1, which is in the neighborhood of the zero value of money to which the fiatists have so hopefully set their thinly-masked faces.

WHEN the skies fall we all catch larks. America has begun the exportation of tin -plate. And the best of it is that it is shipped from Indiana. The American Tin Plate Company at Slwood has shipped one car load to Italy to be followed by many others, Only seven years ago Democratic papersjwere proclaiming that tin plate could not be made in this country.

company

has been organized at

Omaha to erect a 8000,000 beet sugar factory, beiug encouraged to do so by the proeection afforded to American ougar growers by the new tariff law. In California the sugar manufacturers have voluntarily raised the price on sugar beets 25 cents a ton to be paid to the farmers. All reports tend to show that there is a steady and general increase in business in all lines.

THE State Department has sent instructions to Ambassadors and Ministers accredited to countries with which the United States has trade relations that are all'ected by the new tarilf law, directing them to communicate to the foreign ollices at their respective posts the texts of the act, and to call attention to the sections of the new tarilf which provide for retaliation, reciprocity and similar arrangements.

SKNATOU STKWAUT, of Nevada, was interviewed iu New York yesterday, in which he expressed decided

chaDge

of views on the silver question. In the course of his talk he said: "There is no room for pessimism iu this country. No one can be a bear in the face of the wheat famine in Argentine, Russia, Hungary and India. In view of this condition abroad 1 should not be surprised to see silver sell as low as 25 cents and wheat as high as SI. There is nothing in talking 6ilver at the present time, and my advice to my friends in the West is fall iuto line with the forces of prosperity and progress, and receive their due share of the reward. The time has passed for the old issue and new conditions." Senator Stewart has been the most vigorous lighter for silver in the country for many j'ears, and has always maintained heretofore that silver and wheat would keep pace with each other, and when wheat went up, silver would advance also.

THE Augusta (Ga.,) Chronicle says: "The negroes are rapidlv filling the trades. As carpenters, bricklayers, plasterers, blacksmiths, wheelwrights, they are growing more numerous and making it more and more difficult for white men to prosper in these lields of lcVr,r. A glance at the white schools and the negro schools of the South will show that the negro schools are teaching their pupils mere of the actual needs of life, and fitting them to earn a livlelihood better than the white schools are. For every white technological school the negroes have half a dozen with technological and industrial features. Every year young men are being turned out of the negro

schools of the South who have been taught carpentry, shoemaking, printing, the general use of tools, scientific farming, in addition to the usual academic courses, and young women who are taught cooking, washing, sewing, dress making, nursing and housekeeping. When a young negro man or woman leaves any one of more than a dozen Bchools in the South, he or she is equipped for earning a livelihood, and for advancing'the standard of the race. Our people need arousing to the importance of technological and industrial education. We want educated hands as well as educated heads."

KANSAS CROPS.

THE JOURNAL has received a marked copv of the Leavenworth Times concerning the crop outlook in Kansas, correcting the gloomy reports which have reached the East from time to time. Col. D. R. Anthony, the editor, has been on a trip as far east as Massachusetts and spoke of the magnificent crops all along bis line of travel, and then adds that "Kansas will raise corn and wheat, beef and pork enough to fill the mouths of all the people in the States through which he passed for the next twelve months,—and that too out of this year's crop." Getting down to details the Times says: "Fifty million bushels is the size of the Kansas wheat crop. Sumner county leads with 4,585,000 bushels. The price is all right. Kansas wheat will bring at least 830,000,000 into the State. In some parts of the State it is now selling as high as Eeventy cents a bushel. The crop is the largest the State ever had except 1S91 and 1892. Unquestionably Kansas farmers have a good thing in this year's wheat crop. Corn in most of the corn-growing counties will be a fair crop, and in some it will be a really good one. Some of the northern counties are favored with full crops of both wheat and corn. In other parts of the State the wheat and corn compensate each other, where one is short the other is abundant. There is also left over of old corn about 87 million bushels. There is an immense potato crop in Kansas and it sells at high figures. Oats is a good yield, over 25 million bushels, 25.57 to the acre. Reports of nearly every other crop are glowing. The Kansas farmer has a splendid prospect before him."

MINNEAPOLIS LETTER.

John C. Wingate, AVliu lias Traveled All Over the West, AVrltes of t.lie Prosperity That Uvery where

Prevails.

To he Editor of The Journal. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Aug. 9, 1S97.—

Since my last communication I have visited Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota and Minnesota. The general crop including wheat, oats, corn, llax, rye, barley and hay, taken as a whole, has seldom been better in this territory. The winter wheat in Iowa was almost a failure, but there was a great deal more spring wheat than the farmers have raised for a number of years. Most of their corn iB first class the oats crop is- good, average fair and quality first class. I saw a statement from a farmer which said that he had received S2.45 for a wagon bed full of oats last year and for the same bed full of oats this year he had received S7.80. This was entirely on account of the quality of the grain, but you can readily see will make a very material difference in the income of the farmer. There is a very much improved feeling in the State of Iowa among the farmers as compared with last year. I have not seen a more feverish and heated contest for a pol itical nomination that there is now in Iowa for Governor. The Republican convention will be held at Cedar Rapids on the 18th of August. Looking it all over it seems to me that they will nominate Mr. Harlan, who is the old man eloquent of Iowa, and has no entangling alliances, at least I am sure this would be the best and proper solution of their problem, and I believe he would be elected by a very large majority. At least it occurs to me that he would be elected more easily than any candidate who will go before that convention The election in Iowa this fall is a very important one to the whole country and especially to the Northwest. It will determine in a measure the silver question in this section. Although you do not hear the question of silver discussed as you did last year, and it seems almost to have disappeared as a question for discussion, yet there are places where it is still lurking around, and it can be dug up with very little effort. In Nebraska the general crop has seldom if ever been better. Western Nebraska has raise 1 a great deal of wheat, and in most of the State the corn crop is verv promising. The people had a few scares of hot winds but when you get into the territory where they were most talked of you find as a rule the damage was very light. Nebraska is like Kansas. There is something about it that makes one think it has a great future, and in traveling through it you cannot help but conclude that when its Bryacs are born with still tongues and its grasspoppers without wings it will take its place among our most important States. In Minnesota the crop is generally good. The wheat crop is not quite up to the expectations or to the indication of thirtyidays ago. In places it has been injured by two or three very hot July days, and also was injured some, at least it appears so now by a light frost, but the crop will^be a very good one and most of the grain will be first class in quality. CJ In North Dakota they have had a Very excellent crop prospect until recently- heavy rains have injured the crop in the vicinity of Fargo, yet this is only local and will not affect the State at )fge very materially. We are apt to get, and most of us do have, a wrong idea concerning the wheat yield in North Dakota. There area great many places where more wheat is grown iper acre, but there is*no place in our country where ethere are more acres. This North Dakota wiieat field is great in its yield, like a fast train in making time, it does notj stop. One can look and look jj^and then begin where he quit and look again and not see the end of it.

Wheatwas worth in Grand Forks, North Dakota, when 1 was there last Saturday 71 cents. Last year at this time it was worth 3S cents. Unless you arej familiar with North Dakota and its dependencies you cannot realize what this means to the people of that State. I Jhave been in New Jerseytjand a great many mosquito countries^but I do not believe I have ever seen^them worse than they were in North Dakota. To drive through the country ^in the neighborhood of Grand Forks you must almost fight for your life,iand it was a very unique appearance which the people iu that vicinityipresented with an arrangement of mosquito bar over their heads and highjgauntlet gloves. The truth is that at times mosquitoes would light on your clothes until you could scarcely tell the color of your suit. I saw a man coming in from the country without a mosquito bar protection for his head who looked as though he had washed his face in blood. Hut with all its mosquitoes North Dakota has a great many redeeming features atd good people. It is very pleasing indeed to note the manner in which their people congratulate themselves now for voting for 60und money, and in fact it has encouraged capital a great deal to remain in Noith Dakota. Looking over the condition of things as they now appear in this western

country from Texas to Manitoba it hardly seems possible that there could have been only a year ago so many conscientious, intelligent people'advocating free silver, and the story of Mr. Bryan visiting the asylum seems just now very pertinent to me, although you may have heard it it will bear repeating. It is said in Lincoln that Mr. Bryan told this story himself: In visiting an asylum last fall somewhere on his tour he was especially attracted to one of the inmates, a gentleman playing a piano, who so far as he could see had no symptoms of insanity, but seemed very much at ease in the execution of a very difficult piece of music. When Mr. Bryan had stopped a moment he said to his guide: "Surely this is not an insane man?" When the musician overhearing him stopped his playing and said: "Yes, sir. they say I am crazy." "O, well," said Mr. Bryan, "they say I am crazy." "O, do they?" said the musician, "What is your trouble?" "I am advocating the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 10 to 1." "Well," said the musician, "You are not crazy. You are just a darn fool."

The change which has taken place in the West since this time last year cannot be realized by anyone who has not had occasion to travel over it. My business takes me to all the important cities from Dallas to Winnipeg, including St. Louis, Kansas City, Topeka and Wichita, Kansas Lincoln and Omaha, Neb. Des Moines and Cedar Rapids, Iowa Springfield, Peoria ana Chicago, 111. Madison, Fond du Lac and Milwaukee, Wis. Minneapolis aod St. Paul, Minnesota, Fargo and Grand Forks, N. D. Watertown, Mitchell and Aberdeen, South Dakota Winnipeg, Manitoba: Oklahoma City, Okla. Dallas, and Fort Worth, Texas in each of which places there are located general agencies for threshing machines, from one to perhaps a dozen in each place, owing to the size and business center. These general agenci- each do from S50 000 to 5300,000 in business per year, most of which is a credit business. Some time during my stay at these places and talks with the several agents the question of collec tions will be discussed and general conditions of the business, as these people are all customers of ours for weighers and measuring devices for their several machines. I am quite sure that a conservative estimate of these credits and the outstanding paper which the business of these various concerns, taken as a whole,represent iu value would be. at least 20 per ceut. and perhaps 25 per cent, greater than it was this time la6tyear, because of the general improved tone of the' country and the prospective future ability of the people, who owe this paper, to pay. It is universally conceded that collections in the West this fall will be very excellent. You scarcely ever hear any more croaking about hard times, and I do not believe that I have ever seen a more promising condition of the country above mentioned, taken as a whole, than exists thi.s year. The Republican party, together with the entire country and all its people, are to be congratulated that Mr. McKinley is happy in the fact of having the first year of his administration signalled with increased crops and higher prices for farm products. Our prosperity is returning through the proper channel It is coming amid the golden wheat nelds and tasseled corn, over the pastures where the herds of the modern shepherd graze, and the fattening cattle feed, througn the pens where the swine eat, grunt and lie down to take on more fat, and from the unnumbered poultry yards where the mother shelters her brood under her wings, and the crowing of the cock in the morning welcomes the dawn of a brighter day. These are the only avenues through which we could look or hope for the return of permanent prosperity. The return of perfect confidence, which has brought such easement to capital, and so quickened American commerce, is again bringing capital in elbow touch with agriculture, and he who cannot read the signs of the times is blind to the things that are.

TORPEDO BOAT DUPONT.

Her Third Trial Shows a Speed Grcnto* Than Contract Requirements. NEWPORT, It. I., Aug. 12.—The tor

pedo boat Dupont, built make a speed of 27j^ knots, received her second official trial over a GO-mile course in Narragansett bay yesterday, during which she made an average speed of 28.58. This exceeds her contract requirements, but is not as high as that made on other trials. This is tho third attempt of the boat to make her trial. The flrat time she broke down while going at tremendous speed. The second time, after speeding over the course for about 86 miles her vacuum dropped, making a continuance unadvisible. Yesterday there was again a lack of vacuum but despite this hindrance, which is local, the boat made great speed. The government has been notified by the constructors that the boat will be ready to be turned over to the navy department in a few days.

WISE WOMEN".

Those Who Heed the First

Symp

toms of Nervous Derangement.

Special from Mrs. Pinkham.

A dull, aching pain at tho lower part of the back and a sensation of iittlo rills of heat, or cliijls running down the spine, are symptoms of general womb derangement.

If these symptoms are not accompanied by leucorrhoea, they are precursors of that weakness. It is worse than folly to neglect 1 these symptoms. Any woman of common sense will take steps to cure herself.

She will realize that her generative system is in need of help, and that a good restorative medicine is a positive necessity. It must be a medicine with specific virtues. As a friend, a woman friend, let me advise the use of Lydia E Pinkliam's Vegetable Compound.

If your case has progressed so that a troublesome discharge is already established, do not delay, take the Vegetable Compound at once, so as to tone up your whole nervous system you can get it at any reliable drug store. You ought also to use a local application, or else the corrosive discharge will set up an inflammation and hardening of the parts. Mrs. Pinkliam's Sanative Wash is put up in packets at 25 cents each. To relieve this painful condition this Sanative Wash is worth its weight in gold.

MBS.GEOKGE W. S ITEPARD W atcrvliet, N. Y., says: I am glad to state thai I am cured from the worst form of female weakness. I was troubled verymuch with leucorrhcea, bearing-down pains and backache. Before using Mrs. Pinkham's Remedies it seemed that I had no strength at all. I was in pain all over. I began to feel better after taking the first dose of Vegetable Compound. I have used five bottles, and I feel like anew woman. I know If other suffering women would only try it, it would help them."
