FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3. 1897.

PROSPERITY is a ccreal story—continued from day to day.

SAN SALVADOR has just adopted the gold standard without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation.

PAT present prices, says the San Francisco Examiner, the farmers of California will realize nearly §15,000,000 more than for the crop of last year.

SINCE wheat and silver parted company—the one traveling upward and the other downward—William Jennings Bryan has preserved a most suggestive silence.

Tmc next National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic is to be held at Cincinnati. The only other city which competed for the honor was San Francisco, but Cincinnati won in a walk.

SECRETARY WILSON, of the Department of Agriculture, estimates that the increased price of farm products during the last few monts will amount to 8500,000,000. The increase in the value of the wheat crop alone is estimated at from §75,000,000 to 8100,000,000, as compared with last year.

MRS. SILVER, through her attorney, W. J. Bryan, has concluded to apply for a divorce from Mr. Wheat, alleging failure to provide support, desertion, adultery and acting in so cruel and inhuman a way as to demonstrate the permanent alienation of the affections existing between this hitherto happy couple.

FROM Springfield, Mass., comeB a dispatch giving the estimates of the rye as well

aB

the wheat crop of Europe

for this season, as made out and published by the Orange Judd syndicate of agricultural papers. The whe,at crop iu believed to be "shy" at least 300,000,000 bushels. Instead of being, as usual, 1,500,000,000 bushels, it is not more than 1,200,000,000. As for rye, instead of being 1,300,000,000, it is about 75,000,000. According to this the bread grains of Europe are short this year 725,000,000 bushels.

WISCONSIN is one of the States that is fortunate enough to possess large areas of soil adapted to sugar beet culture, and will naturally bo among the first to feel the effects of our economic policy on the sugar question. A new plant is already projected at Merrillan by a company of capitalists to be kno.vn as the Northwestern Beet Sugar Company, with a capital stock of 8750,000. One hundred thousand acres of land will be put under cultivation to supply this factory with Bugar beets.

AT Buffalo in his address to the Grand Army Encampment, President McKinley gave utterance to a sentiment that is worthy to be preserved among the gems of martial oratory. By way of conclusion he said: "What defenders, my countrymen, have we now? We have the remnant of this old, magnificent, matchless army of which I have been speaking, and then as allies in any future war we have the brave men who fought against us on Southern battlefields. The army of Grant and the army of Lee are together, They are one now in faith, in hope, in fraternity, in purpose, and in an invincible patriotism, and therefore the country is in no danger. In justice strong, in policy secure, and in devotion to the flag—all one.

THE energy with which the invasion of the Klondike gold fields is being pushed is illustrated in the enteprise of

a

New York company, representatives of which are now on the way thither, carrying material with which a

cable road from Dyea to Lake Lindemann is to be constructed, and which the engineer in charge 6ays will be in operation five days after his arrival, reducing the cost of transportation CO per cent. At the same time representatives of a Montana live stock syndicate will be pushing forward a new trail through the Stickeen River valley, setting a large force of men at work upon the construction of a road over which stage lines will pass in the coining spring. When that time arrives and the ukon ice breaks up the immense river will be crowded with all sorts of craft, bearing men and material to the new El Dorado and bringing back the wealth which it pours forth in such a flowing golden tide.

ADVANCE OF FARM PRODUCTS. We grant that the Bilyerites are largely correct in ascribingthe "boom" in wheat to the world's shortage. Gold standard advocates have never said anything elte than that prices were regulated by the demand and supply. This explanation of shortage does not account, however, for the rise in corn and live stock, and in cotton goods, of which the farmers and the mills have never had such large supplies. Something else than scarcity is responsible for this universal upward movement in prices, especially of agricultural products. Another point should not be forgotten. Silverites seem always able to recognize a deficiency and its effect upon prices, but they concede nothing to an overt-up-ply. The reason for the fall in wheat in past years has not been the large crops of the world, they say, but the demonetization of silver. Since 1S73 the amount of coined legal tender sil ver in the world has increased

IfiO per

cent., but we will let that pass, Has-n't there been an overproduction of agricultural products? Hasn't there also been an overproduction of silvei, as well BB a lessened demand? These are points that the thimble-rigging free siverite never takes into consideration. From Teller down to Bryan there is the same effort to hold up one side of the picture and conceal the other. Luckily in this case, as always, the markets are giving a demonstration so potent that no one can ignore it.—Louisville our ici"Journal.

There must be some explanation other than short crops abroad to account for this "universal upward movement in prices of agricultural products." This may and no doubt has had some inlluence in the price of wheat, but not for all of the rise. Values of almost all products of the farm have advanced, some of them even more than wheat. While this product is twice as high, corn is 30 per cent, higher, rye 100 per cent, higher, potatoes 200 per cent, higher, hogs 30 per cent, higher, cattle 15 per cent, higher, sheep 20 per cent, higher, and so on through with the entire list of the products of the farm. The more reasonable explanation is a return of confidence, so much talked of during the last campaign by the Republicans, and so much sneered at by the Democrats. This was largely brought about by the enactment of a tariff law which has started the mills and factories, which in turn has given a more hopeful tone to the business world. This has helped the farmer because it has made people more willing to pay advanced prices for the necessities of life, and the actual increase in the number of men at work in the country has created an enlarged demand for the products of the farm. There is no shortage of live stock. Receipts are far in excess of those of a year ago, yet the price of cattle and hogs has advanced materially, solely because of the increased consumption of meats and the general restoration of confidence. Wm. McKinley never uttered a greater truth than when he said: The employment of our idle money, the idle money that we already have, in gainful pursuits will put every idle man in the country at work, and where there is work there are wages, and where there are work and wages there are consumers who constitute the best markets for the products of our soil.

WHEN asked the other day to give his opinion as to the amonnt of money which will be received by the farmers this year in excess of what they obtained last year for their twheat,

corn,

oats, barley, potatoes, hay, and cotton Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Brigham estimated the increased profits at five hundred million of dollars. He then went on to say:

This means much to the farmers. They have learned in the season of hard times through which they have passed to economize where they could and to be careful in buying. They will use this money they receive for their crops to pay off their debts, cancel mortgages and in making improvements on their farms and the farm buildings. This seems like a vast sum but statistics sustain the claim. The price of labor did not decline with the price of farm products, and for some time the farmer was forced to pay as much for the services of those wtio did this work as ever, while his receipts were cut in two. Still, cthe laboring element will be benefited by this advance in prices. The farmer will discharge his indebtedness and mako improvements which will require labor. He will purchase more of the products of labor, putting a vast amount of money in circulation, and this will create a demand for labor in all lines, and men who have been without employment or only partial employment will work full time at fair wages.

ACCORDING to the Atlanta Constitution negroes in the South are rapidlv filling the trades. As carpenters, bricklayers, plasterers, blacksmiths and wheelwrights they are growing more and more numerous, and making it difficult for white men to prosper in these fields of labor. "A glance at the white schools and the negro schools of the South," add the Constitution, "will show that the negro schools are teaching their pupils more of the practical needs of life, and fitting them to earn a livelihood 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 ate being turned out of the negro schools in the South who have been taught carpentry, slioemaking, printing, the general use of tools and scientific farming, in addition to the usual academic courses, and young women

who are taught cooking, washing, sewing, dressmaking, nursing and housekeeping. When a young negro man or woman leaves any one of more than a dozen schools 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.

THAT staunch Republican newspaper, the New Castle Courier, has no sympathy with the attacks now being made by the ottice seeking oligarchy on the civil service law. It says:

If the abrogation of the civil service law is necessary to the preservation ot tbe political machines, by all means let the law stand. An alleged aristocracy of trained and competent of-fice-holders is far preferable to government by political wire pullers and demagogues. For to this it has come that tbe man who would aspire to office must either be wealthy and liberal with his means or sink his manhood well weighted in deep water and prove his devotion to his "boss" by deeds that in politics are recognized as valorous and worthy of recognition, but that cannot be measured by any moral standard of excellence. The civil service law threatens to kill machine politics. Every good citizen ought to stand bv it.

The talk about repealing the civil service law is nothing but campaign fustian. It takes no serious hold of serious people. One might suppose, from the deliverances of these disappointed ollice-seeking gentlemen, that a repeal of the law would open the way to a place for everybody asking recognition. This, of course, is not true. It would simply aggravate the difficulty. Disappointment in the palmy days of the spoils system were more numerous than they are now. If a Congressman hasn't even a postoflice to bestow his position would be more secure. But postoffices have been the ruin of many Congressmen, and at the next election many more will be relegated to private life because of the manner in which he distributed these few crumbs of patronage. Instead of strengthening a man or a party the "spoils" are only a source of weakness.

IN a speech delivered in Congress on the 9th of February, 1893, speaking against the repeal of the Sherman silver purchase law, William J. Bryan said: "It means a reduction in tbe price of our wheat and our cotton." Nevertheless both wheat and cotton are much higher in price now than they were in 1893, although the repeal was accomplished. In the same speech Mr. Bryan said that unless silver

waB

remonetized "cotton at ten cents today and wheat at sixty cents would mean cotton at two cents and wheat at twelve cents in a hundred years." That was four years ago To-day cotton is worth more than it was then, and wheat, then worth sixty cents, is now worth nearly double, with a prospect of going much higher. His assumption that there was a necessary connection between the price of wheat and silver remonetization was certainly delusive. For since that time has not silver fallen to the very lowest price ever known, and have not wheat, corn, oats, barley, rye and all the other farm products advanced to an extent that is positively sensational? The price of wheat is now nearly double what it was then, and all the other grains are advanced in sympathy.

IF the decline in silver continues some very disastrous results are threatened in Mexico and other freesilver countries whose coinage is large. In Mexico there is already a pretty complete suspension of foreign trade, because the merchant who imports goods into that country must pay 81.45 for every dollar of exchange with which to pay for his purchases. The Government of Mexico is also seriously embarassed. The interest on its foreign debt must be paid in gold, while every dollar of its revenue in silver. It must, therefore, pay 81-45 with the prospect of paying very much more, for each dollar of interest owed. If present prices continue it must pay more than two dollars for one.

THE State Board of Health reports that diphtheria has appeared in several counties. It is unusual to have it commence before fall. Owen county reports of yesterday say: "Physicians near Amoy and Freedom, west part of our county, reporting diphtheria. Same locality and same houses it visited last fall." The State Board is renewing its efforts to induce county, city and town authorities to supply formaldehyde fumigatorsto the health officers so that houses infected with contagion may hereafter be fumigated. This will prevent, so„far as the fumigated house is concerned, recurrent outbreaks.

A LOCAL free trade paper says there is no tin produced in this country, and this is the way it tries to make it appear that the McKinley tariff on tin has resulted in nothing. Nobody ever supposed that a tariff on tin plate would make raw tin grow in this country. The great contention was for a tariff on tin plate, and the result today is that we are making more than three fourth of the tin plate we use, whereas in 1890 not a pound of tin plate was made in this country.

THE Engineering and Mining Journal reveals the true cause of the miserable condition of the coal miners, and the real difficulty about setting the strike, when it says: "The annual consumption of coal in this country has never quite reached 190,000,000 tons, and, according to reports made to the authorities in the several States, the mines have a capacity to produce this quantity in a little more than ninety days." When all of the mines now equipped to supply coal are in operation they can turn out four times as much coal as can be sold. That is a fact which none of the agitators or sympathizers have commented upon, and yet it iB a fact that must be reckoned with before all of these miners are supplied with steady work and living wages. The candid consideration of this fact is very much needed.

THE National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic at Buffalo last week rejected the proposition to observe the last Sunday in May hereafter as Memorial Day, and to strike May 30 altogether from the calendar of American holidays. This need not discourage those in favor of the change. The proposition was comparatively new and but few subordinate organizations had discussed the question or considered it in any form. By the time the day is entirely turned over to outdoor sports and all sorts of athletic diversions the National Encampment will be ready to seriously consider the suggestion. There is no question in the minds of many that the Nation's annual tribute of respect to its dead heroes might not be more fittingly paid on a day consecrated to rest, quiet and religious duties.

"GOLD is appreciating!" shriek the silverites. On, no. A gold dollar will buy less wheat or other farm products and less commodities in general than it did six months or a year ago. A gold dollar will buy le68 labor than it formerly did. Commodities and wages are "appreciating," and not gold.

Elder J'ratlier Was There.

A big out door temperance meeting was held down in Balhinch Sunday afternoon and an immence crowd was in attendance. An interesting programme was carried out and not the least interesting feature was an address by Elder Prather, the Baptist divine who is resting under the charge of gross immorality. The Elder came on the platform immediately after Chief Templar Wade finished and proceeded to make an ugly attack on the "money power." His appearance caused a decided sensation and elicited much unfavorable comment.

Weather AVc May Expect.

Weather prophet Foster says that the next disturbance will reach the Pacific coast about September 1, cro.'8 west of the Rocky Mountains by the close of the second, great central valleys 3d and 5th, Eastern States on the 5th. General high temperature will prevail about the 29th and 30th of August and heavy rains will follow, heaviest in the Southern States.

THE Mount Lebanon Shakers recently performed a great deed of charity, although it was not destined as a charity, being nothing more nor less than an advertising scheme. It, however, resulted in great good juBt the same. They gave away 1,000 bottles of their Digestive Cordial to those suffering from Btomach derangements.

It was so effective in curing those who used the remedy that they were loud in their praises of it and in consequence a large demand for the Cordial was at once crated.

The druggists of this town have little books that tell all about it. Digestive Cordial creates an appetite, aids digestion and brings about a rapid increase in flesh and strength.

Laxol is the name of a palatable Castor Oil. Just the thing for children.
