Crop Report.
Verbeck Kan,

Verbeck Kan, Nov. 25, 1889.
EDITOR DEIOCRAT:-The last gov
ernment crop report contains but little
of interest, except the final figures on
the crop at home and abroad. The
average of wheat in Barton county was
about double that of the state. We
are some above the average of the
whole country on corn, oats, rye and
potatoes. The possibilities of the
wheat trade are limited. It is dictate
of national providence if not necessity
that every country should provide it's
own bread. The bread of Asia, Africa
and the islands of the sea is not made
from wheat, as a rule, and we can
never have demand for wheat from
that source. Europe is practically our
only market. No amount of advertis-
ing, no proffers of reciprocal trade, no
change of fiscal policy can force upon
Europe another peck per capita. The
totals in this table are the sums of the
net imports and exports of the countries
named. A subtraction Of net exports
from net imports will show the average
deficiency supplied from America and
other countries:

The Thanksgiving ball at the opera
hall, given by our excellent orchestra,

the orchestra, was not able to be out,
on account of sickness, but under the
direction of P. B. Kimpler, who has
become an excellent violihist, the
music was as good as usual.

Why he Was a Democrat.

President Elliot, of Harvard College,
lifelong republican, has lately in a
public speech declared that he had
joined the democratic party, giving
these three reasons:
1st:-Because he was not a protec-
zionist.
2nd.-Because he thought Cleveland's s
administration more favorable to civil
service reform than the present repub-
lican administration, and
3rd.-Because the republican party
had degraded the pension system,
while democratic president had tried
to restore it to an honorable standing.
This incident has created a pro-
found impression among reputable
republicans. Also Mr.. Augustus Russ,
an eminent republican of Boston, has
openly declared that he will not vote
with either party this year as a rebuke
to his party for its grievous violation
of solemn promises to the people.
That is pure patriotism, whatever the
politicians may say. When reputable
republicans and democrats in masse
demand clean work of their respective
parties on pain of bolt then there
will be cleaner parties.

Cold Comfort.

The protectionists are manifesting
an unwarranted amount of pleasure
over the resolutions adopted at the
National Farmers Congress in Mont
Gomery, Ala, last week: The first
resolution is that ''while Congress
maintain the policy of protective
tariff we demand that all farm products
shall be as fully protected as the more
favored of the manufacturing indus
tries.' If the protectionists can get
any comfort out of that they are capable
of being warmed by Colonel Sellers
own and original combination of tallow
dip and red isinglass. The resolution
shows very plainly that the farmers
are observing the difference between
their treatment and that the protected
interests receive, and we do not believe
that the protected interests really take
any comfort out of this fact. AS farm
products are but little imported, and to
very large extent are exported it is a
manifest impossibility that they should
be ''as fully protected as the more
favored of the manufacturing indus
tries" The demand of an impossibility
as a condition of the agricultural sup
port of the protective tariff is not a
guarantee of the long survival of the
latter. But we hope the woolen manu-
facturers will notice the Ingenuity with
which Farmer Lawrence, late first
controller, who framed the resolutions.
managed to insinuate that as coats are
necessities while carpets are luxuries,
the duty on the cheap coarse woods
used for carpet making should be
higher than the fine and expensive
woods used for clothing. This is really
the neatest thing that we have seen
in the literature of the woel tariff. 1t
is notification to the manufacturers
that they can get no concessions from
the republican sheep owners National

POOR Mr.. HANKINSON.

He Loved Her with q Fervent Love, But
There Was No Chance for Him.
"You have never thought me pre-
sumptuous in seeking your-your friend
ship, have you, Miss McGinnis?"
The proud beauty shook her head, and
the costly diamonds in her ears sparkled
and flashed in the mellow light like an
arctic aurora borealis with the radiant
dog-star for center whirling and gilt
tering in a jeweled kaleidoscope. The
sight dazzled the eyes and dazed the
brain Of Marcellus Hankinson, and con-
fused images of a paradise luminous
with rainbows, shimmering sunsets, the
glory of melting black eyes, and per-
vaded by an intoxicating perfume of
musk, patchouly and cinnamon essence
danced before his vision.
''No, Mr.. Hankinson," she replied.
"Ah-er-thanks!"
The young man ventured to take her
hand.
"Asphyxia McGinnis," he said, in a
rich baritone tremolo, sin all the eleven
months and sixteen days during which

than with the utmost respect, have I?'

I'VE have seemed to coincide in our
views of philosophy, the tariff, the
Schleswig-Holstein question, and the
comparative value of the various foods
as regards nutrition" persisted the
young man, "while in the matter of
dialect stories we haye-we have always
Jbed exactly"
He edged himself little further for
ward in his chair and proceeded:
''In view of all this, Asphyxia, and
moved by a resistless passion that
that yanks me right along on its tenn
pestnous bosom. 1 am emboldened to-
please say no more, Mr.. Hankin-
son." said Miss McGinnis, haughtily- Il
did not at first apprehend the bearing
of your remarks"
SIS it possible you did not know what
I was going to say? Do you pretend,
Asphyxia McGinnis," he demanded,
hotly. that you were not encouraging
me-that you didn't egg me on?v
90 1 certainly did not, sir. Such an
idea never entered my head. I may as
well tell you, Mr. Hankinson, that my
heart is not free. I may as well tell
you"-the proud heiress of millions
breathed a tremu1ous sigh, the naughty
look faded from her eyes, and her voice
sank to low, dreamy murmur, like the
echo of distant waterfall-s'papa is
going to Europe next week to buy me

LET THB M1LL1oNA1REs ALONE.

The following speech made by Allen
o. Myers, of Cincinnati, Ohio, at the
reception gwen by ! Governor-elect
Campbell, in that'city,. by the Young
Mems Democratic Club, in our opinion,
is grand one and ought to be copied
by every democratic paper in the
country, because the dem ocratic party
is supposed to be the friend and sup
porter of merit and worth and not
of wealth. In other words the demo-
cratic party is pledged to the interests,
of the people, and is the ally of that
genuine ability and principle that is
capable and anxious to promote their
interests at all times on all occasions.
Mr.. Myers speech was short but the
masses will endorse it:
II see among US number of men
who have been elected to the Iegis-
lature. A word of advice to them.
You have future before you. Some
of you are older than I, and some are
younger. But let me implore you not
to vote for a millionaire for United
States senator. Loud cheers] Don't
vote for Cal Brice OF John r. Mclean
or Thomas. The moment you send a
millionaire to the United States senate
from Ohio, just that moment you beat
the democratic party for ten years to
come. [Applause.] The senatorship is
for sale. 1t is for sale, but there is
something that is not for sale, and that
is public sentiment. Don't sell the
senatorship this time. Don't let any
man buy it. [Cheers.] Don't put it up
at auction. Give it to poor man.
[AppIause.] If you give the senator
ship to rich man you will drive away
from you for ten years those who have
just contributed to your magnificent
victory. Let the miHiOnaires alone.
but they cannot buy public sentiment.
Don't tie to them. AS for myself,
am drawing salary from one, but
that does not prevent me from ex-
pressing MYSELF i.
Mr.. Myers gives advice that is good
for the whole country: 'sLet the
millionaires alone!" They are running
the nation as fast as they can, reducing
the masses to beggary and want and
building up an aristocracy of pluto
Gratis.
"Let the millioaR3ires alone'" Their
feet are OIL the necks of the people,
and the avaracious, strangling clutch is
grasping the throat of the nation.
''Let the millionaires alone!'' They
are protected plutocrats. enjoying
special privileges, members of great
trust combinations, presidents of pro-
tected corporations, for whom the
laborer is toillng, and suffering and
slowly dying! -
"Let the millionaires alone!" To
enrich themselves they would destroy
the nation, starve to death the Goddess
of Liberty anu bury her in the potter's
field, and disregarding the misery of
the people, establish a government of
their own for moneyed idiotcy, cor
ruption. and fraud.--Junction City

A FEW prohibItion-for-policy-only-
anti-resubmission republican papers
make terrible to-do in claiming that
"the idea Of resubmission in Kansas
is all bosh." At the same time they
show that they are somewhat alarmed
over the threatened overthrow of one
of their pet political schemes, by filing
their papers with anti-resubmission
arguments and personal abuse of all
who favor resnbmissien. Why not be

knowledge that it is The question of
