Congressman Hatch, in speech on
the silver bill, last Saturday said: eff
you think that the farmers organiZa-
tions, extending from the Canadian
border to the Gulf of Mexico, extending
throughout the length and breadth of
this land, the alliance, the grange and
wheel, do not understand this question
and have not decreed that silver shall
be restored to perfect equality with
gold, you are making the fatal mistake
of your life. Gentlemen you may pull
the wool oyer the eyes of the farm
ers of Ohio on the tariff question, you
can multiply tariff arguments and
bambOoZle few men i'll every locality,
but you cannot pull the wool over the
eyes of the great masses of the people
upon this silver question. [appIause |
They know that when silver was struck
down in 1873 there came at once a de-
cline in the average value of every pro-
duct of the farm. They know that
with the characterization of silver came
lower prices for corn, wheat, tobacco.
beef, cattle, hogs, mules, horses, for
every product of the farm. They know
that the decline has been steadily going
on as the gold bugs of Wall street with
their grip on the house of representa-
tives have controlled this money ques-
ton in the interest of the money shaw
ers and the money kings. They have
determined that that yoke shall be lift
ed and, my word for 1t, the votes cast
here to-day will change more seats in
the house of representatives during
this year than the votes cast upon any
other measure that has been presented
here in ten years"

The Renos of Oklahoma are having
trouble. The town of III Reno was
Damed as county seat of one of the
counties; 1t is south of the river and
east Of the Fort. No plat of town of
that name had eyer been filed and so
Reno City tackled an addition of 80 acres
to its northeast corner, named it FL
Reno and having two of the county
commissioners favorable to the scheme,
the new FL Reno was declared the
place meant for the county seat. In
the meantime, the original Ell Reno
claims thati was meant for county seat
and as it is postoffice, the indications
are that it will win. A very lively inter
est has already been aroused and it APP
pears that the scenes connected with
some of the western county seat fights
in Kansas will probably be repeated in
Oklahoma.

EmpOria Republican: The Ingalls,
supporters admit that the farmers alli-
ance can defeat his reelection IT it
wants to, but deny that it has any such
purpose. The county president says it
has, President CLOVER says it has, Sec
rotary McLallan says it has, the official
state organ of the alliance says it has,
all the other alliance organs and farm
papers say it has. What more evidence
can they want? But there will be
more-plenty of it,"

a FARMER FIGNRES

Adolph Oehme, an intelligent farmer
at Bralnard, Neb., has figured up how
much tariff taxes have cost him in a
year. He has done more or less trad
ing at the village stores, and, of course.
has paid protection prices for every
thing he had to buy. The following is
his account for the II months:

The state democratic central commit

cided to call the state nominating con-
vention at Wichita on Tuesday, Sep
TENDER 9Th. There will be one delegate
for every $50 votes cast for the Cleve-
land electors in 1888, thus giving Bar
Der county three delegates. The fight
before the committee was for an early
or late convention, those who fav-
ored the early convention being in fav-
or OF resu6missiln being the only issue
and they favoring fusion with resub-
mission republicans. Those who faY-
ored late convention wanted to see
what the republicans and alliance peo-

the date set for September 9Th. The
official call will be out in few days.

The statement was generally publish
ed in the daily papers of Kansas, last
week, that the farmers alliance of Bar
Der county had resolved to support no
man for district judge who is lawyer.
There was no truth in the dispatch. Of
course. No sensible man would think
for moment that there was any found
alton for such rumor. The alliance
of Barber county is made up of sensible
men and it will do no one any good to
ridicple their acts.

Total tariff on purchases. ............$ SIEGE
In this way Mr.. Oehme figures out
that the tariff compels him to pay each
year $142.O2 more for goods which he
requires than they would cost were the
tariff removed. This he calls his ''indi-
rect" tax, and by comparing it with
the direct tax which he pays his coun-
ty, city and state he finds this to be the
case.

And thus Mr.. Oehme figures that he
is paying indirectly tax which is al
most twice as large as his direct tax,
and this tax is filched from him little
by little in the shape of living expenses
that make both ends meet. We're all
the fairness as sAatt as Mr.. Oehme
there would be speedy end of the pro-
tective system.

GETTING a START.
Various Ways In Which Young Lawy
Build Up n Practice.

Build Up n Practice.
A young lawyer who comes To q big
city to make his fortune must flrst make
himself known. Without ~acquaint-
ances he might as we'll try to manage a
comic opera company on Il desert island
as to get cases of u desirable kind, says
a writer in the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat. The piece OF advice hat Is first
given the young lawyer by h older
heads when he comes to st. Louis Is:
snake yourself known There are
different ways Of doing this. Some
young fellows, II they have money,
plunge into society The very first thing.
That's q good thing In its way, but | do
not believe that 1t pays in the long run
Others Join secret orders, attend meet
ings regularly, and in Il few weeks know
several hundred people by sight and
name. That Is one of the best plans,
and a very popular one. II you are IA
miliar with the secret organizations of
the city, just think how many of their
officers are lawyers. Another plan which
Is employed with good results by many
Is to take board in u downtown hotel
and spend q great part Of the time out
~ office hours in the rotunda meeting
stranger and talking. One keeps him
self in tou~h with all the news this way
and makes valuable acquaintances
The young lawyer who is fortunate
enough to get u desk in the Office OF
some established attorney, whose friends
and clients he meets, Is in the best po-
sition Of them all, and will probably be-
gin making money sooner than any OF
them. II, with this advantage, he will
also put into execution one of those
other plans, he will go ahead rapidly.

A Resthered walf from FLORIDA.

Charles Kellogg recently shot a very
peculiar-looking bird near his grist-miil
on the outskirts of Great Darlington,
Mass. No one seemed to know to what
species it belonged, and it was sent to a
naturalist in Boston, who writes as fol-
lows: THE bird is a Florida gallimule;
Its native place is in the South, princi-
pally Florida. This bird was Matched
this year, and it is not unusual for young
birds to leaye their place Of nativity and
travel In tho opposite direction from
which they should. You can consider
this bird q decided prize on account of
the locality from which 1t was taken,
and 1t IL the first recorded Instance Of
one being found In the Berkshire hills. "
