The Republican. OFFICIAL PAPER OF JASPER COUNTY ISSUED EVERY TUESDAY & FRIDAY BY GEORGE E. MARSHALL, PUBLISHER AND PROPRIETOR. OFFICE—In Republican building on corner of Washington and Weston Streets. TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION. One Year $1.50 Six Months 75 Three Months 50 Tuesday, November, 2, 1897.

They are few and far between. We mean those whose eyesight is defective and who still think the country is plowing about in the mud of Democratic hard times. Now and then an old mossback pokes his head out of his hole and looks about him in vain for signs of prosperity, There are some people who don’t know a good thing when they see it. The export trade continues heavy, notwithstanding the fact that a protective tariff law is in operation. It was 22 pw cent larger in September, 1897. than it was in September, 1890. Wheat has again dropped below the dollar mark, to the great light of the silverites, who cannot bear to see a bushel of wheat worth two ounces of silver, when only a year ago an ounce of silver and a bqshel of wheat were at the same price. The fluctuations of the white metal during the year are sufficient to prove the danger of attempting to make it a money metal on the plan of the Democrats of 1896.

The Canton, Ohio, Free-Silver Club has decided to abandon the Democracy and cast its lot with the Populist party. This club, which was denominated the I ’Bryan FreeSilver Club of Canton. Ohio," was one of the strongest silver ortranizations in the State last year, and an active supporter of Brvan's Presidential candidacy. Its renunciation of the Democracy and transfer of allegiance to the Populist party is therefore the more significant. Woolen goods manufacturers report demand brisk, prices steady, and an unwillingness by makers to accept new orders at present quotations. Advances are reported for Bessemer pig-iron and steel billets with quick sales, but prices are firmly held. Some steel mills are not able to keep up with orders. The domestic consumption of pigiron last month was extraordinarily heavy and promises to greatly stimulate production.—Bradstreet’s. Twenty-five cents per bushel was the price predicted for wheat by the Popocrats last year in case of the election of Mr. McKinley, but with Bryan elected it was to bring a dollar a bushel. And under Bryan every dollar was to be worth two dollars, so that wheat was to bring §2 a bushel. Of

course, McKinley having been elected, wheat should now really be 25 cents a bushel, but owing ito the foreign ‘‘scarcity,” it is sl, so that if Bryan had been elected it would be worth, at the same ratio of increase, jpst four times $2 per bushel, or $8 per bushel. It is; too bad the farmers didn't know , about this before they voted for McKinley.
