q From Saratoga, N. Y, comes this COM
plant: Farmers are leaving their farms and
more are giving up the life altogether than
are settling upon new ones. There is not
only no money any longer in the business
there does not seem to be even living. Hay
has been sold as low as 81 ton, oats at 26
cents bushel, and corn at 40 cents; cows
bring only 500, and other farm necessities
are proportionately low. The wages of male
help are as high as $25 per month, and the
hired man at the end of the year has made
more than his employer. Many farmers in
this section do not intend to plant this year.
They run behind the best way they can man
age it. A farmer with his place free and
clear Is more than likely, after paying his
farm hands, to be in debt after harvest. Add
to the situation a mortgage on which interest
must be paid, and the outlook becomes
gloomy for the farmer and not bright for his
creditors. Many foreclosure sales of farming
lands will take place before the year is out"

certain feeling among some, who were
not used 90 the costume, as they rolled
up 70 stone front houses IN luxurious
coaches-a nervousness AZ the scantiness
Of their coat tails, their vast white shirt
fronts, their ministerial ties. But the
scheme panned out well in results. and
the ingenious editor. who had pressed
into the service many a novice in social
customs, spread page after page Of very
choice news before his readers.
There IS nothing that newspaper
man can stop at III order 10 get informa-
ton. When Commodore Vanderbilt lay
on his death bed the city dailies kept re
lays of reporters in a room convenient 10
the house, and every moment of the day
and night for many days each paper had
its eve on the events passing within the
stricken home. IL is needless TO say that
the interest OF the general public was
just as great as that Of the newspaper
men, and the first greeting Of the morn
ing and one repeated all day was, what
is the news about Vanderbilt
This was merely waiting for the e1-
pected, and was a case of sheer patience.
IL is the man or woman who refuses TO
be interviewed, and places all manner of
guards against the newspaper man, that
gives the trouble. The noted burglar
and murderer, Edward Ruioff, after the
discovery of his identity, which proved
him an old and hardened villain, sui
lenly refused TO talk to anybody except
the sheriff. Ruloff was in Jail at Bing-
hamtOn, under trial for numbering a
clerk who had attempted 70 defend his
employers premises from burglary. he
had New York history, and was anx-
ious TO keep it hidden, so he told the
sheriff that he would refuse to see all
newspaper men, The first real interview
was obtained by native of the town,
who was 4 New York newspaper man
and whom the sheriff introduced under
the pretense Of investigating Ruloff
pathological system. The burglar-mur
derer was a modern Eugene Aram, and
had hobby in philology. The key oi
all languages, according TO his system
was l., II and L. The moment these
were mentioned he would talk and un
ravel his scheme, and incidentally, II
recalling the wonderful triumphs. as ht
called them, of discovery and collation.
he told enough about himself. at least
/ about his past, TO furnish all the clews
needed for his complete identity, anC

characteriStics-points on which he wa

FREE COINAGE.

The Alta is dissatisfied with our present
silver law. 1t prefers free coinage and de-
clares that the d. mocratic free silver coinage
plank gives the people Of this State chance
to notify the country that they are in earnest
about silver. Our Democratic contemporary
will have All uphill task in making votes for
its party on the silver question. 1t is only
since the Republicans entered upon policy
of restoring silver to its old ratio to gold that
the Democrats have had any silver policy at
ALL Between free coinage and the present
law there is this difference: Free coinage
would throw us upon the silver standard
W it'll gold at premium; the present law has
taken silver more than half the way to its
old place in relation to gold, and there is
every prospect that the other half will soon
be Travelled. Free coinage with silver at the
discount it was quoted at year ago would
inevitably create two currencies-one for
bus ness, the other for the payment of debts.
Silver under free coinage would be legal
tender for all purposes except the payment OF
notes in which payment in go d is specified.
Now, if any man who has purchased lot and
built house partially on credit will glance
over the note he was required to sign he will
find that he agreed to pay in gold coin.
There are practically no exceptions to this
rule. Payment in all cases is required in
gold. Under our present law silver is inter-
changeable with gold. The laborer who
may be paid in silver can get gold for it.
There is no premium on gold as there

silver policy that has been adopted.
