Farm Products.

Farmers, of all mep, have the least rea-
son to throw themselves back on thei,
traces and say, we will do nothing, or as
little as we can and live. True, farm pro-
ducts do not command war prices, and
no one expects to become suddenly rich
in these times from raising wool, or max
ING butter, or fattening beef and pork,
but there is steady demand for all kinds
of produce, and generally at remuneratlve
prices. Bread and butter are the essen
tails of life. The king himself is served
by the field. The profit of the earth is
for all" Farmers have great advan-
dage in this respect over merchants and
manufacturers. Fancy goods may be q
drug in the market, but who can live
without the p. oducts Of the soil2 All the
goldin California and all the silver in
Nevada will not suffice to keep the souls
and body together unless exchanged for
bread and butter. There is no occupa
ton which is so sure Of a return for labor
as agriculture. The risk of manufactur
ers and middlemen is threefold that OF
farmers, but their enterprise is so great
that they seldom succomb to pressure till

For several months past Lake Shore has

have attacked it, and the bulls have enlarged
upon it's merits, but neither the one side nor
the other has obtained decided advantage.
Lake Shore is the mystery of the street and

it's rise last summer from As to 70 stock
operators have been puzzled as to the future
of it's movements. The Twenty-third street
operators for several months past have worked
zealously to break down the quotation and
have put large lines of short stock. below the
present figure. The prominent bears were
strengthened in their position by various cir
cumstances. VIM. III. Vanderbilt, before his
departure for Europe six weeks ago, was dis
covered to have sold out large speculative
line of Lake Shore. It was argued from this
that the earnings of the road had been de-
creasing, and that the great railway king
did not care to hold too much of property
not likely to pay a handsome dividend. The
capital of Lake Shore is SO large, five hun
bred thousand shares, that there is less
danger in selling short than in the case of
smaller stock. The opening of navigation,
too, brought down the rates for freights. and
as Lake Shore is direct competitor with
the lakes the receipts necessarily fell off
largely. So, while the Northwest

Strakosch in Trouble.
IN " Snecial June 1911

N. 7. Special, June IL.
Clementine Smedler, q public singer well
known in Chicago, has instituted a suit
against Max Strakosch, the operate manager,
for Sic, 600 damages for breach of promise
for marriage. The affidavit sets forth that
the defendant intends to leave for Europe
shortly, and adds that on the Goth of Sep
TENDER, 1875. in this city, Mr.. Strakosch
promised to marry Miss Smedley, and that
ried a Miss Neilison, in Oakland, CAL, on the
26th Of October, 1877; that, seeking to take
q wicked advantage of plaintiffs ingenious
ness, and to compass her ruin by trick and
subterfuge, and using such promise to marry
as means, he sought to seduce her,
and sought to convince her that she never
could be great and successful singer un-
less she would throw away her modesty and
yield to his solicitations. Deponent indig-
nantly refused to comply with his iniquitous
demands, and repealed all such wicked adj
vances, whereupon the defendant grew cold
and negligent, and subsequently, on the Goth
of August, 1875, refused to marry her, alleg
ing as reason the fact that he is Jew,
and that his religion would not permit him
to intermarry with Christian. About the
28th of August, 1876, Mr.. Strakosch told
her that he wished to talk to her concerning
her future prospects, and could not do SO
uninterruptedly in the parlor of the Everett
house, where he lived. nor at her boarding
place, and requested her to accompany him to
ahouse of = family whom he knew intimately,
and where they might converse without in
reference. She, not expecting his wicked
designs, went with him into house in
Thirteenth street, between University place
and Fifth avenue. He locked her in a
room and she screamed for help. She was
released, and, upon his request, forgave him
for his misconduct. It was at his desire she

Resumption by the Banks.
fCilirinHati ErGnirtr.


John Sherman, who is really an
agent of the National Banks, while
under Gloss examination before il
Congressional Committee 1onching tho
Resumption Act, said that the banks
in the process must take care of them
selves. In y recent interview with an
Enqnjrey correspondent in New York
Mr.. Sherman admitted that the banks
would have a dtlicult task to endure
resumption, and that the National
Banks would he scrambling after the
thee hundred millions OF coin dollars
aud more which they need for resump-
ton, while the Government is clam
boring about after three hundred and
fifty millions of coin with which to
resume on its part. John Sherman
confesses, therefore, that in order to
effect and maintain resumption, the
National Bank notes, as well as the
greenbackS, must be redeemahle in
cola on demand, aud that, while it is
not the concern eft the Government
altogether, the difficulties of resump-
ton are donbIcd by this fact. Re-
sumption means the redemption not
merely of three hundred and fifty
millions of greenhacks with seventy
millions of coin that John Sherman
claims tc have, and doubtfn)ly, and
some more millions that he hopes to
get Ivy the sale of interest bearing
bonds, bat the redemption also of all
the paper money outstanding. Some
of the National Banks have the har-
dihood to confront this le>umption.--
They have not OK Y to confront their
circulation, but their deposits.
The fiction of John Sherman that
he can resume without reSnming, that
he can redeem without redeeming, is
drluSiDn that the banks can not fail
to discern. Whenever the banks are
believed to have one dollar in coin
behind one dollar of promise, the coin
may not he demanded. Whenever it
is publicly known that there is little
or no, coin hcEl'd tie promise the
coin is in demand, and this is the sit
uatiun at this moment. One of the
intentions in the framing Of the Re-
sumption Act was to place the jsSnc
of paper money in this country in the
|auds of the National Banks. The
act ordered the annihllaIjnn of the
yreenbacE. The right of the Srcreta-
~ of the Treasury to re issue green
backs is not given in the Resumption
Act. If tire right is given in any 9TH
er statute, il is only the right to
"break" the Treasury. While there
is a margin between coin and green
backs. the grecnbacks will hasten
over and over ayaiu to the Treasury
for redemption if the redemption ad-
vertisemcnt is hung ont. The Gov.
eminent can not redeem the green
backs once. Can it redeem them
