THE PRICE OF CORN.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
have today compiled the statements
of q number of leading farmers Of Sedg-
wick and adjoining counties.
Leroy Fosdick Of Sunny Dale, Sedg-
wick county, came here nineteen years
ago. His capital was S6.25. He has
accumulated thirty thousand dollars
worth of property, clear of incumbrance
by farming alone, having never engaged
in any thing else He says he has never
sold corn for less than 40 cents per
bnshel, and often as high as ST. 20 per
bushel. lie has just marketed sixty
head of hogs s months old, averaging
261 pounds. He fed these hogs 567
bushels of corn, S33 worth of slop. Five
hundred and siXty-seven bushels OF corn
TO slXty-tlree hogs makes nine bushels
TO the hog: 261 pounds of pork at So. 50
(present prlces) makes 50. a to the hog.
Deducting 30 cents 10 the hog for slop
leaves him Sl02 per bushel for corn.
He raised 100 acres of corn this year.
averaging sixty bushels TO the acre. He
says the farmer who sells his corn in its
natural state reminds him of the man
who raised steer and took it to the
butcher. had it dressed and bought
quarter back. and then owed the butcher
81. He was only short three-quarters of
u beef and 80
Mr. James Campbell, one of Sedg-
wick's oldest feeders, says ten bushels of
Kansas corn will make hundred pounds
OF pork. That makes corn worth about
80 cents per buShei. OF course the great
gain is IN the thrift ana rapid growth of
young hogs IN this climate. Mr. Gavens.
OF Pratt county, says fourteen bushels of
corn VIII always make 500 pound
hog IN Kansas. That makes corn worth
20 cents per buShei.
Mr.. Gamble of Grant township, this
county, has Just sold eighty-tive head Of
hogs TO Jacob DoId that made him
81 cents per bushel for his corn. As
we'll try 10 get results hv trying to ad-
minister medicine by telephone as to gsr
the proper price that belongs to corn

FARM MORTGAGES IN THE EAST.

In an editorial on the subject of farm
mortgages, the indianapolis Journal says:
1.-The latest state to collect statistics on
the subject is Illinois. Illinois is larger
state than Indiana, having Sc, 256, 900
acres and 102 counties. against %, 264, 900
acres and ninety-two counties in Indiana
The general conditions are similar. 1t
appears that in 1885 there were in Illinois,
outside of Cook county, in which Chica-
go is situated, 90,309 mortgages, cover
ing 1856. 366 acres to secure 1923, 733, ,09S,
of which SOB III, ,769 was for borrowed
money and $50, ,62l, ,329 for deferred pay
ments Of purchase money. BY the CEN
sus of 1880 the aggregate value of farm
lands and Improvements in Illinois, ont
side of Cook county, was $519, 103, ,3337. 33377
Of course it is much greater now. a
mortgage Indebtedness of 1923, 73}3 ,095
on this valuation is not alarming. The
acreage covered by mortgages is not
great, ,966, 1866 out of 1926, 000 The
Statistician estimates that the yearly
product of the land nortgaged is worth
81, ,229, 500, or considerably more than
one-half of the mortgage debt. Twenty
one counties. carrying mortgages to the
amount Of 800, ,303, 1876, have an annual
production amounting to S11 .666, 1876.
Taking the entire state. the products of
the year are nearly twice as great as the
entire mortgage debt.

OF INTEREST TO HOME SEEKERS.

Kansas is unquestionably the best ad-
vertised state today in the union, even
before the state immigration bureau has
It's advertising matter ready to send out.
The immigration movement that is now
well under way has been more univer-
sally discussed and indorsed by the press
of the state than any other subject for
the past two months. Indeed, the mat
ter has been given well nigh universal
notoriety by the press of the country
The result is that scores and hundreds of
persons, intending home seekers, are al
ready making inquiry concerning the
advantages the state has to offer those
who may come.
To all such we would say, in brief, that
Kansas affords horne and plenty to the
man who is willing to work, who re-
spects the rights of his neighbors and
prizes his own. The new Eldorado,
sought by Ponce de Leon. existed only
in the imaginative mind of the dar-
ing explorer. He found the spring of
eternal life beyond the grave, but the
nearest approach to the tabled land of
his dream ever found is the imperial
state which today is attracting the capi-
tai and the Drawn and brain of the older
states to its bosom by the natural ad-
vantages Of soil, climate and opportuni-
ties for bettering their fortunes. Col
umns could be filled with facts and
figures proving this beyond the caviling
of the most skeptical, but it is not neces-
sary TO attempt that just here. All that
will be furnished in systematic form in
short time, but those who are willing to
accept the plain statement of fact in the
fewest words and are ready to come, we
say come along; you viii have the ad-
vantage of the early start and less COM
petition in seeking locations, and this
will fully compensate for the sadvantage
OF the special transportation rates that
have been secured for excursions and
colonies that viii be coming q little later.

FACTS THAT MISLEAD.

The chief cause of the present low
prices OF farm products and general de-
preston of business is generally agreed
to be the insufficiency of money in cir
culation. To disprove this and assign
some other cause not explained, there
are some who quote the treasury state
ments and other financial statistics to
show that the amount of money in the
United States is larger in the aggregate
and per capita than IN any other coun
try at the present time. The statement
may be true as to the volume in ex-
amount Of money in actual circulation.
In the first place both the coin in the
treasury and the certificates in circula-
ton representing said coin, represent
ing something like $500, 600, 900 each, are
both counted, when everybody knows
that both are and can not be III circula
ton at once. Then to this vast sum add
the other large holdings in the vaults of
corporations upon various preteXts, and
the amount of currency IN actual circu-
latIon instead of being $50 per capita, as
shown by statistics, Is not more than one
tenth that amount.
More money in actual circulation is
what the country needs and must have
before much substantial relief can be
realized, and the man who can devise
plan by which the needed increase IN
the volume of the circulating medium
may be had is the Moses we are looking
for to lead us out of the wilderness.

GEORGE WASHINGTON GAY.
The position of fish editor of a great
daily paper is one that requires, in addi-
ton TO the qualifications of sobriety, in
dustry, honesty and beauty of personal
appearance, the preemlnent one of
truthfulness. In this particular virtue
we are sorry to say Mr. Cay does not
profess to excel. 1t is true be uses the
phrase ''truthfully yours" but this is at
pest a merely formal and conventional
expression, and in this instance may
have been used even ironically. No man
can secure the responsible position Of
fish editor of the Tribune who cannot
give the most absolutely irOnclad guar
anty that lac is a person OF unimpeaCh
able veracity. The possession of the
name OF George Washington Is not
enough. 1t must be backed up by refer
ences, Mr. Gay.

INCREASE OF CURRENCY.
From the Denver Times

| From the Denver Times
| A great silver meeting was
held at Cooper Institute. New
York, Thursday night. Ex-Post-
| master General James presided.
He said he was not in sympathy with the
objects OF the meeting. But he believed
| in free speech and wished TO hear both
| sides Of every subject of public interest.
He certainly. in the speeches OF the
evening, listened to pretty good pre-
sentation of the silver side of cne queS-
ton. It IS to be hoped that he learned
something by it.
Ex-CongresSman Fitch. of Nevada.
made strong point when he said that
Whatever might be asserted of paper
money inhations, no instance could be
recalled in all the history of the civilized
world where injury to the industries was
done by increased coinage OF gold and
silver" This is exactly true.
The three great financial panics and
conyulsIons that have marked the his
tory of this country, during the past
sixty years, all occurred when there was
practally no gold and silver coin in clr-
culation and none in the country. Each
came at time when there was plenty of
paper money. The first two-those of
1887 and 1S51-were IN large part by the
over issue of paper currency. This cur
rency, when the panics came, became
practically worthless, and thus the effects
of the disasters were greatly aggravated.
The last panic-that Of 1S13-was the
inevitable readjusting OF things after
the mutations OF the war. Its severity
was greatly mltigated by the existence
OF a paper currency based on the credit
of the government, and thus of reliable
value. 1t would have been better yet
if there had been currency of gold and
silver, which would have been of certain
and fixed value and not subject to fiuctu.
atIons.
The increase of gold and silver coinage
will produce no dangerous initiation be-
cause it will be an increase of a cur
rency of intrinsic value. 1t viii not be,
like the increase of paper currency, an
additional strain upon private or public
credit. 1t will make money plenty and
will thereby raise the price of labor, of
farm products and of articles of manu-
facture. But the rise will be on a sure
basis. And with high prices all around
labor secures more OF the good things of
life.
The country has not now money
enough for the transaction of its busi-
ness. That is. money is unnaturally
scarce. AS a result prices are uDpatur-
ally low, and producers of all kinds feel
the pinchings of hard times. The rem
edy Tor this is the increase of currency,
and that can be best brought about
through the free coinage of silver. That
will give the people more money with
out bringing them within the danger of
financial panic and disaster. 1t will fur
nish heaithful tonic and not fever
ish stimulus to the country's industries.
