The present uprising of the farmer is
putting before the country momentous
questions that will be subjects of legis-
lation for fifteen or twenty years to
come. One of these questions, and per-
haps the most important one, is, not
free trade against protection, but the
manner of levying duties. The farmer
is not opposed to protection, but he is
opposed TO levying duties so as to put
all the profits into the pockets of east
ern manufacturers. The farmers want to
encourage manufactures to locate in the
great valleys OF the Missouri and Missis-
sippi, and therefore they are opposed
to some Of the features of the Mckinley
bill. Senator Plumb, of Kansas, is
uttering some wholesome truths on this
questlon.-St Joseph, Mo-, Herald.

That money power, which the fathers

the United States treasury! And, at
this moment, another British banker,
who is the head O: the banking house
of Morton, Rose & Co., London, is vice
president of the United States and pres
ident of the United States senate! With
our great public highways under Brit
ish control, and the legislation and ad-
ministration of the American govern
ment dominated over by British inter-
ests, is it any wonder that our people
are falling into bankruptcy and vassal-
age, and that everywhere they feel that
their liberties are unsafe?
A way must be found out of this di.

ed. This can only be done by the
united wisdom of the best men OF Amer
ica-by tho men who have made the
country all that we are SO Justly proud
of. All producers and workers on the
farms, and in tho mines and shops OF

methods, and see to it that they are
operated in the public interest!
The people of Kansas are especially

A Farmer Who Paid a Debt Twice

| "a dIH1ST "nO aId d DSoI "ISS
Over and Still Owes 1t.
I know a man who bought farm in
Des Moines county, Iowa, in 1868, fol
$4,000. He had S1,70O cash, and bor-
rowed $1,000 at per cent. He thought
he had bargain of at least $500 in the
farm. He moved on to it. and he and
his family worked almost day and night
trying to secure a home. The farm
was out of repair, but they managed
for the first few years to pay the inter-
est, which, together with taxes and in
surance amounted. to about S150-
which, by-the-way, was pretty fair
rent for the farm.
By the time the farm was put in re.
pair, the hard times of 1878 came, and
as result the interest was not all paid
for year or two. This crippled him
some, but being full of hope and energy,
by hard work and the strictest kind
of economy, the back interest was
paid.
But just when he got his interest all
paid up and things began to brighten,
having nice lot of hogs with which he
expected to reduce that $1,000 indebt-
edness to $1,000, hog cholera killed his
hogs, and again things began to look
blue. This was followed by the hard
times of 1879, and as a result interest
again fell behind. But with hope and
energy he worked on, paying up inter-
est as fast as he could; yet each year
it took more bushels of grain--more
labor-to pay his interest. And as the
farm had materially deprecated in
value, the friend from whom the money
was borrowed began to think it was
about time to get it, or he might be
compelled to take the farm for his pay;
so in 1888 another loan was secured by
Poy y"6 q SOOo lOuuO COtuLulSSlOu 10
loan agent for securing the same, and
the mortgage vas paid off.
Now as to the facts in this case, this
poor farmer thoraht he owned at least
half the farm he Sved on, yet he paid
on the mortgage about as much rent as
the farm was worth. Having run just
twenty years, he had paid the mort
gagee $4,000, besides some compound
interest, taxes, and insurance, which
altogether amounted to at least $4,000,
and still he owed the original $1,000.
Since then, prices of farms and farm
products have been going down, SO that
it has been impossible to keep up any
thing more than repairs, taxes, and in
terest. And to-day that man owes that
mortgage, and unless times change very
soon the mortgage will take the farm,
and this poor farmer and his good wife
will be turned out, and in their old
age be left homeless, Notwithstanding
his honest efforts to save his home

WHY MONEY WAS SCARCE.

Chicago Tribune:
1t is now evident that the pressure
for money at the east the third week in
August was not 80 much due to the de-
mand for currency with which to move
the crops as to a rush by importers Of
foreign goods to take advantage of the
Mckinley bill before it's passage. An
ticipating large rise in prices, they
piled in their orders for woolens, linens,
cutlery, tin, and other goods to be
affected by the proposed heavy increase
in the tax on consumers, wanted the
money to pay for them to send abroad,
and partly flooded the treasury with the
funds required to meet the duties on
the property. In consequence of this
importing activity, the balance of trade
for July and August was against us to
the extent of some $4,000, 900, in spite
of the fact that the foreigners had to
pay much higher prices for the -four,
grain, and most other articles OF pro-
duce they received from us in that time.
The movement of the crops has not
been sufficiently large to cause undue
stringency, though it is true more
money was required to hold them while
in transit to the seaboard. The trouble
lay with the importers and mostly
those of New York city, which cried out
SO loudly about the drain beng from
the west. The exodus of gold to
Europe on these transactions would
have been much greater but for the
fact that our payments were partly
made in the shape Of industrial and
other securities, which have been freely
purchased by English capitalists since
the close of last winter.
The importing free trade spectators
on the outcome of national legislation,
having filled themselves up as full as
they dared to 60, are now moving
heaven and earth in the endeavor to
secure the quick passage of the bill.
They are lobbying around Washing.
ton, and trying to stir up an artificial
< citement among politicians east and
west that will insure the Mckinley bill
becoming a law. II they should fail
in the effort the country will possibly
SEQ some of those goods that are still
in bond sent back for resale in the
countries where they were purchased
This would make demoralized showing
for our foreign commerce for some
month or months in the near future
but the result would be no worse than
that certain to follow the signature of
the bill by the president. No one e1-
poets that wider consumption would
mark the advance in prices. On the

Extra Liability to Malari.l Infection.

Persons whose blood is thin, digestion
weak and liver sluggish, are extra liable to
the attacks of malarial disease. The most
trifiing exposure, may, under such condi-
tions, infect a system which, if healthy,
would resist the miasmatic taint. The only
way to secure immunity from malaria in 10.
calities where it is prevalent, is to tone and
regulate the system by improving weakened
digestion, enrichiug the blood, and giving a
wholesome impetus to hillary secretion.
These results are accomplished by nothing
so effectively as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which long experience has proved to be the
most reliable safeguard against fever and
ague and kindred disorders, as well as the
best remedy for them. The Bitters are,
moreover, an excellent invigorant of the or
gans of urination, and an active depurent,
eliminating from the blood those acid i'm
puritles which originate rheumatic ailments.
