MORE ABOUT SILK.

To the Editor of the Eagle
In my article of last week you said all
the profits of the silk mills will not pay
the tariff by ten million dollars. Here
are the figures. In the last five years we
have paid out for raw silk 1924, $50, 407;
for duty, St34, 297 1868; in al SOS, 97S, $40
If we deduct the profit of the silk
mills, $50. 957. 719, it will still show a loss
to the United States of S171 $50, 651. If
we had grown our own silk, which
would have cost us comparatively moth
ing Gf we grew our own eggs) as we have
the feed wasting in abundance, and
added to it the profit of the silk mills,
we would have saved S211, 61S, 1875. and
deducting the duty we would have left
as net gain in the last years 81 $50
1853, and in no other way except by
growing our own raw silk can the silk
industry of the United States ever be
made to pay one cent and in no other way
can the west ever get back the millions It
is paying to support the east.
Give Kansas encouragement for SILK
culture aud we can all prosper together.

Attention Is called 10 the fact that if a
silver bill similar TO that which passed
he house should become a law, there
would be an absolute and positive in
crease in the currency of the country of
81, 800, 600 each month, or S54, 000, 900
each year. The bin as amended and
passed by the senate might increase that
amount IN the aggregate, and it might
decrease it, but that Is not the question
with the people; what they want Is to
have the discretionary power heretofore
and at present held by the secretary of
the treasury of saying how much may
he coined-a power that has been uni
formly exercised in fixing the amount at
the minimum-shall be removed. The
people are willing to assume the respon-
Sibility for whatever depreciation may
result from the free and unrestricted
coinage of all the bullion that is offered
for that purpose, and the jealous con-
gressmen may consider themselves also
absolved from responsibility for any pos
sible adverse effect Of such q measure.

In Feliciana parish of Louisiana
Thursday the anti-lottery candidate for
the state senate was elected by a ma
ioritv of near two to one. The vote was
the largest ever cast in the parish, and
the result shows that the people of that
portion of the state are against the great
gambling concern however the legisla-
ture may stand. But the stand taken by
a majority of the legislature, if that is
to be taken as indicative of the senti-
ment of the state, shows that a majority
of the people of the state favor the
scheme. \ million dollars a year to-
wards meeting the states expenses af-

THE FARM VERSUS THE NINE.

For some occult reason, founded in the
mysteries of human nature. the sons of
men prefer the fascinating, feveriSh pur
suit of gold with all its uncertainties, to
the more calm and contented pursuit of
agriculture. In the mind Of men yellow
gold is more attractive than golden grain.
just why this is so we may not discover.
but will contine ourselves to showing
the relative value of the two pursuits,
as bread producers, and as elements of
wealth to communities following each as
distinctive industries, and as to the num-
Der of human beings that can be sup
ported in equal areas, the one digging
gold the other blowing corn, each under
circumstances favorable to its peculiar
product.
The precious metals produced in the
United States for 1889 at market price
was under 800, 100000, and it must be
borne in mind that that product is
thought to be the staple of Colorado,
Wyoming, Nevada, Montana, California,
Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and parts
of Dakota, Washington and Oregon,
being. in area devoted to this pursuit, an
extent nearly ten times the area Of Kan
sas but not equal in value to the corn
and wheat alone raised in this greatest
of agricultural states in the year 1889.
Then it is, although not matter of
statistics, still conceded by thoughtful
men that the yield or precious metals
divided equally among all those engaged
in any way in the pursuit would scarcely
board and clothe the self-deluded seekers
after sudden wealth, which brings us
down to the point we have IN mind,
that in laying the advantages of our
state as one of the greatest IN agrIcul-
ture of the glorious forty-two OF the
union, how do we keep the promise we
make to our intending immigrants: We
have but few millionaires to show, but
we have a million of well-to-dO, self
supporting and self-respecting, happy,
contented, prosperous and prOsperlng
people who fare well, yes sumptuously
every day educate their children and tram
them to love the bountiful Oliver of all
evidences of whose bounty is not hidden
in deep noisome caverns of the earth,
delusion and a snare, but lay open be-
fore him on every hand, in open, glorious,
sunlit valleys and plains.
The occupation of the farmer IS more
dependant upon Providence than that OF
any other, and the tiIIer of the soil has
all the advantages, about which the poet
rhymes and the sage moralizes-direct
and continuous contact with nature.
When a state shall anywhere have be-
come as prosperous i'll producing precious
metals as Kansas has become in pro-
ducing corn and wheat, then, and not
till then, will we acknowledge COM
munity in the west, more promising to
the immigrant, or more certain to fulfill
that promise than is the Sunfower state.

The Kind of Bird 1t Is.

From the Salina Herald.
James F. Kelley, Wichita daily EAGLE
representative, was in the city yesterday
and secured twenty-nine subscribers for
his paper. The EAGLE is one of the best
papers in Kansas; in fact, is the best Re
publican paper. 1t is an outspoken rep
resentative of that class of Republicans
who are getting tired of some of the bulls
of Republicanism. For instance, it is
opposed to the Mckinley bill. 1t is in
favor of ReSubmission and is Disguised
with joints and bootlegging in Kansas.
1t is opposed to the heresy of female SUI
frage, and in fact, is in favor of a gov
eminent of law instead of a government
of sentiment. The EAGLE is ably edited,
and as Wichita Is the largest news center
in southwestern Kansas, those who sub
scribe for it will get their moneys
worth.

Whether the bin introduced in con-
greSS few days ago by Representative
Henderson, of Iowa, providing for the
election of senators by direct vote of the
people instead of by the legislatures as
at present, had anything To do with it or
not it is a fact that judged by the acts
OF the two bodies on two or three very
important questions within the past

Nerve Training"

From the New York Mall and Express
The new fad of NERVE training" that
has already produced disastrous results
in the case Of two of the girl students in
the Massachusetts seminary in which it
is in vogue should be promptly disoon-
tinued. In very many cases. certainly,
it can only lead to morbid self CON
sciousness and excessive nervousness
that is sure to work great harm. The
idea of inducing sensitive young ladies
to concentrate" their minds upon their
nerves is positively idiotic. What such
persons need, most of all. is to forget
that they have any such thing as nerves.

A Mothers Counsel.

The great men of the world have
generally ON. ~ much to the charac-
ter and training Of their mothers
II we 90 back to their childhood, we
see there the maternal influences
which formed the aims and habits Of
their future life.
Bayard, the flower of French.knight-
hood. the soldier without fear or re-
proach, never forgot the parting
words of his mother, when he left
home at fourteen to become the page
of a nobleman. She said to him, with
all the tenderness OF u loving heart ::
MY boys. serve God first. Pray to
him night and morning. Be kind and
charitable to all Beware of fiatter-
ers. and never become one yourself.
Avoid envy, hatred, and lying, as
vices unworthy of a Christian and
never neglect to comfort widows and
orphans"
When Bayard was foremost in bat
tie. confessedly the bravest warrior in
the field, or when, in his own great
thirst, he was giving water to a dying
enemy, he was only carrying out
his mothers counsel, and striving to
be worthy of her name. The memory
of a mothers love is a talisman
against temptation, and a stimulus
to good life.
