The True Story of Tell.

Oli1 Nyo. w HAia u Aoii lou q uoJ
rancho near Bergelen about FIVE hun.
dred and eighty years ago. Tell had
lived in the mountains all his life,
and shot chamois and chipmunks with
CROSS gun until he was a bad man
to stir up. At that time Switzerland
was run principally by alot of carpet
baggers from Austria, and Tell got
down on them about the year 1907.
1t seems that Tell wanted the Govern
ment intact to furnish hay at forty
dollars ton for the year 1906. and
Gsssler, who waa controlling the pat
ronage of Switzerland, let the con-
tract to an Austrian who had big
lot of condemned hay further up the
gulch, One day Gessler put up his
plug hat on telegraph pole, and is
sued order 2e6, regular series, to the
effect that every sn"czer passing down
thu toll road should bow to it.
G=ssler happened to be in behind
the brush when Tell went by, and
he noticed that Bill said: "Shoot
the hat!" and did not salute it SO he
told his men to gather Mr.. Tell in
tie refrigerator. Geasler: told him
that if,:he would shoot a crab apple
from the head Of bis only son, at two
hundred yards, with cross gun. be
would give him his liberty, Tell con-
sented and knocked the apple higher
than Glider Us kite. Old :Gessler,
however. notice; another arrow stick
ing 10 Williams girdle, and asked
him what kind of aawery breek
that was. Tell told him that if he
had killed the kid instead OF busting
the apple he intended to drill hole
through the stomach of Mr.. Gessler.
This made Gessler mad again, and he
took Tell on pic mic up the river in
irons. Tell jumped eff when he got
a coed chance, and cut acroas a bend
in the river, and when the pic mic
party came down he shot Geesler
deader than mackerel. This opened
the ball for freedom and weakened
the Austrian government 80 much
that in the following November they
elected Tell to fill the long term and
half breed for the short term. After
that Tell was recognized by the rul
ing power, and he could get most
any contract that he wanted to. He
got tie service on the stsge line up
into the lips increased TO daily and
had the contracts in the name OF hia
son Albert The appropriation was
increased Sl50 600 per year, and he
had good thing. Tell lived many
years after this, and was loved by
the Swiss people because he had freed
their land. Whenever he felt lone
some be would take bis cross gun and
go out and kill a tyrant. Hs had
tyrsnt on toast almost every day till
Swi'z+rlaud was free, and the peas
ants blessed him es their deliverer.
When Tell got to be an old man he
would go out into the mountains and
postrophiae them in these memora
bic words "Ye crsgs and peaks,
+ N with you once again. l hold to
you the hands held to you on pre-
vious ocasons, to show you they are

THE SUN.
N ew Y ork. 1854,

About sixty million copies Of THE
sun have gone out OF our establishment
during he past twelve months.
If YOU were 10 paste end.to end all the
columns OF all THE SCGs printed and
sold last year you would get continu-
Gus strip ofinteresting information, COM
mon sense wisdom, sound doctrine, and
sane wit, long enough TO reach from
Printing House square to the top oi
Mount Copernicus in the moon, then
back to Printing House square, and
then three quarters oil the way back to
the moon again.
But THE sun is written for the inhabi-
taut, of the earth this same strip OF in
telliCence would girdle heslobe twenty
eight times.
If every buyer Of copy of THE Sun
during the past year has spent only one
hour over il, and il his wife or his grand
father has spent another hour, this
newspaper in 1888 has afforded the hui
man race thirteen thousand years OF
steady reading, ni,ht and day.
1t is only by little calculations like
these that you can form any idea of The
circulation of the most popular OF Amer

the opinions and actions OF American
men and women.
THE Sun is, and will continue to be, q
newspaper which tells the truth without
fear of consequences, which gets at the
facts no matter how much the process
costs, which presents the news OF all the
world without waste of words and in the
most readable shape, which is working
with all its heart for the cause OF honest
government. and which therefore be.

Probable kfscf Of Low Prices for
Grain.

According to an article in the last
number Of the Baltimore Manatac,
t,ag's Record the vtsct oflow prices
for grain win be "to,ar sOu'hward
the. tide of, emigration and capita"
that has hitherto, flowed in an enrich
ing stream I'd the West and North:
west, and thus increase largely the
demand forc7 Southern lands. The
,.esqees that have contributed to the
low prices of land in the Southern
market,are passing away, and at the
sane time the source Of the eScep.
tional prosperity OF the Northwest
is becoming enfeebled. Under the
influence of new and better ideas the
South is getting out Of fail. cotton aad
no corn methods Of the past. The
Baltimore San, referring to the sub
iect of the increased value Of real
estate in the South, says:
The marvellous growth and increas-'
ed diversity Of Southern manu- actur.
ing industries and the great. develop
ment Of our mineral resources will
also have I good effect on the price
Of real estate. : The low rate Of in.
terestc inathe Eastern and Middle
States is another favorable circum--
-ssauss:s sshe present collapse in
tths4rpfices Of the products Of the
prairie regions VIII perhaps do more
tbgh anything that has occurred for
along time, to turn Southwark, the
tide of immigration and capital .
During twenty years ""the price of
ggalns nd-pnovisions has been kept
up to lan abnormally high figure by
reason Of an artificial demand beth
in Europe and hare in the South,
several thousand millions OF Southern
money having gone to, help swell the
profits of Northwestern farmers,
every dollar Of which served to bull
real estate there and to bear real
estate here at home. Now. however,
partly becauee the South has ceased,
in measure, to consume Northwest.
,rn products, and partly because
European markets are beginning to
be supplied from other.delds, the bot
tom is about to drop out of the North
western boom, and money and capital
en- route thither have at last called a
halt, Wheat, that mas always here
tofore been considered olrt cheap al
from dollar to q dollar and a guar.
ter, is now down to 77cents at Chi
cago, while provisions are almost
correspondingly low Cotton' it
may be added, pays better, and, un
like grain, is an article for which the
European demand is constant and un
falling. Nov that the South under
: stands disadvantage of raising grain
and various kinds of farm produce,
in addition to undimiuished output OF
cotton, its agricultural prospects are
decidedly preferable to those of the
Northwest, whose staple products
hase % nncertain and insufficient
smarket. With cotton for q cash crop
and plenty Of home growth grain, the
South is .in-a fair way for becoming
the most prosperous farming region
of the country. With an increased
demand for land other property will
look np, and theSen.irea face of the
South, it may be expected, will un'
dergo an agreeable change.
