A GRAVE RESPONSIBILITY.

1t is not necessary to stop to discuss
what has brought about the depression
in business, especially to the agricultural
interests. all over the country, but now
that the Republican party has charge of
the purse strings of the country, relief
must come or the party will be relieved
of its stewardship. Every well informed
person knows that the condition Of the
currency, not the tariff, has brought
about the distress of three million of idle
men, manufactures lying idle, private
capital scared into its hiding places, and
unless the Republican party, now in full
control of all departments of the gov
eminent, puts into circulation all the
boarded millions piled up in the treasury
and puts a stop to the constituencies ex-
actions and robberies now practiced and
committed by the trusts and combines
and market gamblers by suitable legisla-
ton to cover all such, the depressed times
will continue and the Democratic tariff
reformers will sweep the country at the
next election, for all the Republican
newspapers combined can not make the
people believe otherwise than that the
tariff is the cause, unless otherwise
demonstrated.

INDIA SILK.

| To the Editor OF the Eagle.
AT the Paris exposition in 1878, Mr..
Thomas Wardle had on exhibition for
the first time, butterflies, cocoons and
reeled silk of several promising native
India vatieties of silk worms grown in
the open air on the native oak and apple
trees by the natives simply protecting
them from the birds and subsequently
gathering the cocoons as we gather nuts
in pail or basket. Two of these vari-
cites are called Antherea Mylitta and
Circula Trifenestrala, both of which
produce silk of greater strength, elastic
ity and length of thread than the Chi
nese cultivated varieties. These silks
when made into silk plush have bril-
liancy and gloss resembling the wild
furs they were made to initiate
more than the best French or
Italian varieties of silk, so that the de-
mand for that class of high-priced goods
in Europe increased the importations
from India in few years from nothing
to several thousand Kilograms last sea-
son. These varieties are included in the
sacred species of India. The moths have
a purple mark on their wings, which Is
called the sacred sign of the deity of
Vishna and the expectation Of the live
cocoons was punishable by death.
These varieties have been grown
in the United States for three years
as far north as Maine and
south as Maryland, and there
is no reason on earth why they should
not thrive to perfection in Kansas in our
apple orchards. They are ANIMALS and
but one crop has yet been grown in In
dia, but there is no reason why
we may not during the Iseven
months they are alternating in the Co
coon preserve them longer and raise
several successive crops in one season,
as we were able to do last season with
the Chinese variety in the egg. 1t
stands to reason that a well developed
chrysalis in a case is better able to with
stand an injury, and such will doubtless
prove to be fact. For some reason,
doubtless for their long exposure in the
tree, they are provided with an un-
usually thick and impenetrable coating
of silk thread of several thousand yards
in length, requiring five to six days to
finish enclosing themselves, allowing
them the same time to draw out yard
of silk as it did thee cevnnes l expert
mented with last season.
The greatest objections l see to their
extensive culture, compared to the Chi
nese silk worm, is their food. Apple
leaves are not so easily and cheaply
grown as Usage leaves, nor are the fe-
male moth so prolific, producing as they
do but two to three hundred eggs,
against twice that number by the others;
but considering their freedom from dis
ease and the superior quality of the silk
produced, they will come into great
favor.
Mr.. Lester, of Bradford, England, the
most prominent silk manufacturer in the
world, from the reason that he made a
fortune out of silk waste, has taken a
great interest in these varieties. There is
one important condition of IT, 50 new
moths-they are closely allie, our
Kansas native variety that feed on the
maple and will doubtless readily cross
with them and may improve both.

A POINTER FOR FARMERS.

From the Lawrence Journal.
If the Kansas farmers would only stop
counting their surplus money, gotten
from the sale of their 13-cent corn, long
enough to consider the situation calmly
and sensibly, they would understand
that this is very prosperous and very
wealth country. IL it were not SO we
never could afford the appropriation of
IS, 900, 900 asked for by Senator Ingalls,
for the purchase of ground and for
buildings to celebrate the four hun
dredth anniversary of the discovery of
America. And we could not afford the
$3.50, 100000 now asked for to put into a
new navy, not to speak of the $44, 157, =
913 which we give annually to the sup
port of cur standing army. There GER
tainly is no dodging the conclusion, we
are wealthy nation. Why, right here
in Kansas the government has expended
$500, 900 on Fort Riley improvements
and $3.50, 900 more is asked for. Now
the average cost of warehouses such as
would be necessary for cotton and grain
storage, is estimated at $40, 1000. There
are 5000 counties in the United States
and 10, 900 warehouses would meet the
needs of the agriculturists. An appro-
priation of $50, 900, 900 is not much to
ask of so wealthy government. TO be
sure the farmer class may not be SO or
namental as the military class, and our
race problem or our Alaska seals may
some time necessitate the calling into
active service of our purely ornamental
army and navy, SO Of course we must
not curtail that expense, no matter if the
corn has to be piled unsheltered along
the lines of railway. But if, in addition
TO all of its necessaries, in the way of
elegant steam heated. telephoned. electric
belled, public buildings, all of the monu-
ments, the exposition buildings. ETC.. our
government will indulge in the luxury
of investing little Of the nations sur
plus in the interest of the farmer the

The Democrats, now that they have
learned that Speaker Reed isn't to be
bluffed out of the position he has taken
in the matter of expediting legislation,
and that they have got to submit to ma

with the thought that they will have the
precedent for similar action if they
should ever get control of congress
again. Wonder they hadn't thought of

If such is wrong, why not begin
where greater wrong exists: The cop
per in one dollar of copper coins is worth
only ten cents, the Rickle in five dollars
worth of nickle coin is not worth more
than forty cents, and the paper in a
thousand dollar national currency bill is
not worth more than half cent. If
you reply that these are redeemable, we
return that they are redeemable in silver
dollars, and these dollars are as good as
gold for all debts due to and by the
United States to and by the citizens of
this country. If you reply that they
will not pay debts to foreign countries.
we reJoin that debts to foreign countries
are not paid by the face value CT anv
coin, but by the troy weight, the bull
ion value, in those coins. and therefore
the present silver in our dollars is worth
just as much in paying foreign debts as
it would be if it was put into larger dol
