Mormon also wrote up Il graphic :,c-
count of that, and just before his dealt. :,
about 420 B. c., he buried the plates
under that hill. He died OF wounds
in battle, but, unlike Moses, did nos
state where he wss buried, aud his
place of sepulture was uuluown even
to the Prophet Joseph Smith. These
plates remained buried under that hill
until September 6, 1927, when an angel
Gas bright as day. appeared to Smith
and informed him where to find the
"plant." He found thc,u, and, like
Mahomet, retired to q cave, and wrote
his ssBook Of Mormon"
This very pretty romance was stolen
from Rev. Solomon Shoulding's
ssManuscript Found.'' lie was an
invalid living in Corneat, Ashthahula
county, o., and beeing very fond of
archaeology and historical study, he
soon became interested in the ancient
mounds and fortifications which
ahounded in that region. Adopting
the theory that this colony was peopled
by tribe of ancient Isra~lites, he
based his romance upon that idea, and
that the people Of America are desceu-
dants Of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel
who wandered away from Palestine.
He took the manuscript to Il printing
Office at Pittsburg; the editor one day
missed it. Sidney Rigdon was the
"devip' of the Cftice, and as he after
ward became one of the publishers Of
the HBook Of Mcrmon,1 it was charged
that he stole the "Nanuscript Found.'
Furthermore, Il few years after this
wholesale plagiarism, Eitron turned
up at Mentor, o., and blosson;ed out

trine," which was afterWard defined
to be NIormonism, based on the sayings
of the "Prophet Mormon" From this
religious and literary swindler, based
on a romance, the Mormon Church has
grown into problem and threatens the
peace of the country. Its powers are
not confined to Utah. NIormoDs viz
tually hold the balance Of political
power in Wyoming, Idaho, Montana
and Arizona, and are asserting them
selves in Nevada against the election
of Mr.. Cassidy, because he supported
the EIdmunds bill. They arc even
colonizing in Southern Colorado, South
ern States, and even have missionaries
in Pennsylvania.

4 FREE TRADE TRIUMPH.

Frank lurd made his fight for Con-
gross on the tariff issue alone and won
He is and ever h:S been, Il fee trader,
openly and above board. His canvass
was made on that issue. There was not
voter in tho Toledo district who did
not know that Mr.. IIurd favored II
tariff for revenue only, and that revenue
to be cut down to an economic admin
istration Of the Government.
The fight was q bitter one The pro-
lection organs opened out upon him in
full tune. IIc w;s accused as an agent
OF the British manufacturers; Of being
paid as British agent; Us ambitious to
destroy American industries, and re-
ducing tho wag"s 3 of the mccharic to
a level with those Of Europe. What
ever could be said to his prejudice, either
by argument or anathcma, Yves said,
and yet the voters OF 4 district by no
means waiting in manufacturing in
terests, stood by Frank Uu~d, and
elected him.
II is inferred from this that itthe De-
mocratic party were to take the same
decided stand for simple revenue talin
and for free trade whenever that is pos
sible, as we'll ss for free ships, and
rigid economy i'll administration, it
would be stronger with tho people than
it ever hes been when evading this
issue, leaving it undecided whether its
choice was for free trade or protection
1t is certain were tho party to take uI
the proposition Of Frank IIurtd j,
would do no more than return to IL
ancient dogma.
In its b, st years the Democratic part )
was distinctivcly the party of r &c trade
1t beat the prJtectioni3t3 the WING party
over and over again on that issue, and
now that the war issues arc out Of the
| way, it will doubtless make - strong
a contention against the Republican
party, which has inherited Wing
theories on the subject of protection.
The success Of Mr.. lIurd shows what
may be done by making an idisGuiS-
ed fight for approximate free trade

WESTERN CROPS.
A special from Chicago says:

No more frosts. Rains haze bee.
copious and widespread, and the good
effects are plainly visible over the
entire Northwest. Tho ground had
become so hard and dry that fall
plowing and seeding were only ac-
! complishcd under adverse cirrun1-
stances.
The present week ought TO sec winter
wheat seeding finished all over the
entire belt. The ground is now il, fine
condition for the crop to make 4 rapid
growth before hard freezing weather
comes upon us. AS TO the acreage, we
have put i'll fully as large an area as in
1881. There is yet no change in the
situation Of receipts a. interior points :;
in fact we do not sec how it is possible
for any change to take place until we
know something more about the crop
which we are just putting in. The
great movement Of winter wheat, we
think, will not take place before spring.
Farmers may then bc obliged TO accept
lower prices, but their condition is such
that there is nothing to induce them
to sell wheat while the present prices
rule.
AS an indication of the prosperity O.
the West, the crowded railwa.;- trains
which enter Chicago daily speak vol
umes. There is to-day hardly Il rail-
road entering this city which hos roll
ling stock enough to move the people
who are anxious "to sec the sights.'
Hotels are full every night, and the
theatres never were rs crowd, / in tho
history Of this city as they arc at pres
ent. The largest percentage or their
audiences arc composed of "grangcrs."
These arc facts which show that tho
producer to-day IS master of the stua-
ton.
do not now indulge in the belief
that we are on the eve OF gathering
the sslarg,1t corn crop this country has
ever raised" On the contrary the facts
frost hcs left an unmiStaISabic mark
upon a very large area of the corn in
Illinois and Iowa, to say nothing about
Nebraska, Ninnesotr and Wisconsin.
Hence we shall not have a crop of corn
of first quality. stSoft corn will form
an element in the new crop which did
not cut any figure in the old. The
present weather is not favorable for
gathering corn, and we are now at
least three weeks later with this work
than we were in 1851. Another clc-
ment against large receipts of corn this
winter is the high price Of ho55 and
cattle. Feeders Will pay higher prices
| for corn than grain dealers can afford
to, and this will have Il great effect
upon the shipping Of the new corn
Facts show that the South this winter
| will not be as large buyers of Western
corn as in former years, but as to the
crop being large enough for export we
do not believe it.
