A Suggestion for Farmers.

There are reasons for thinking that the
| shipment Of cotton through the ports in
stead Of to the ports tends to keep down the
price of cotton.
One reason for thinking so is that cotton
shipped abroad from the interior is not
always properly classed, and often does not
come up to the sample. The consequence
Is that there is dissatisfaction among the
buyers in Europe, and they are not disposed
to be as liberal in their offers as they would
be If they were always sure of getting Just
what they bargained for.
Another reason is that there is little or no
competition among buyers in the interior.
A farmer who has a few bales of cotton
nine times out Of ten accepts for his cotton
| just what the nearest storekeeper offers
him. And the storekeeper is certain to
offer price that leaves him a pretty good
margin for profit. At the ports there is the
keenest competition among the buyers, and
there are great many buyers The very
| best prices, therefore, are obtained. 9
The Agricultural Society ought 10 ap-
point committee to devise a plan for hav-
| ing all the cotton sold at the ports. II
couIu pe soIu at Lne ports, probably, at q
comparatively small cost There are OBJ
stacles, Of course, in the way of putting
this suggestion into practice. but could
they not be overcomei
The farmers alliance Is talking about
sending cotton direct to Europe and selling
it there, thus avoiding the middlemen in
this country. If they were to do anything
Of that kind they would soon find, probably
that they had made a great mistake. But
it may be that they could not be convinced
except by experience that such a disposition
Of their cotton would be a mistake. AS a
matter of fact, however. the farmers who
have sold their cotton at the ports this year
have realized much more for it than they
would had they shipped it to agents in Eng
land to be sold.
This suggestion about the selling Of all
cotton at the ports is not made in the inter
est Of the ports. If the farmers will study
it carefully they will see that it isn't. They
will see that it is made in their interests.
And il is we'll worth their attention.

According to the director of the Phila.
delphia mint the silver product of the en- =
tire world for the year 1890 W as 8, $3.50, 500
kilos. worth at the United States coinage
rate S161, 3S9,9sS. Further, he says that
''the great bulk Of the precious metals is
absorbed by Asia, and that now India is
taking a quantity of silver equal to the
United States product" from which he
draws the conclusion that "while this is the
case there is no possibility whatever of a
dump of silver on this people beyond their
absolute needs for coinage aud the arts.
Yet there are very few people who would
be apt to dodge small load Of it if it
should come.

Entirely sure, sir. l smelled the smoke
the clerk, and will knock on all the doors on

She was wonderfully cool and collected, and
l never thought of doubling her assertion.
Going down by the stairway l beckoned the
clerk aside and told him of the fire. He went
to the elevator with me and assembled to the
third floor where we found about twenty half
dressed people in the halls. The woman who
had given me orders came up and said:
Come this way; don't think the fire has
much of start yet"
We followed her to her room and began to
sniff and snuff. There was certainly a strong
odor of something burning. says the Detroit
sniff when he went out and raped on the next
door,

Peru is apparently taking a lively in
terest in the disastrous internecine struggle
in Chile, and watching the slaughter of the
rival forces with all the intent absorption
of one who contemplates taking hand and
whipping both sides as soon as they have
sufficiently decimated one another's forces.
By that means she might be able to reclaim
the territory lost in the last struggle the
two countries had together. Offering a
premium to troops that do not engage
against the government is novelty in
revolutionary warfare which Chile has in
troduced.

An Object Lesson to Farmers

A bushel of wheat will buy two or
three times as much sugar to-day as it
did year ago. So will a bushel OF
potatoes. A bushel of wheat or bushel
of potatoes will buy twice as much OF
the luxuries of life as 1t did year ago.
The producer of wheat and potatoes,
the lord of the soil know as farmer,
who contemplates these results of the
new Tariff law is not likely to be fright
ened by the cry of Mckinley prices. -
The mckinley prices" suit him to the
dotting of the and the crossing OF the
that records them.-New York Press.
The Press is one of the gold monopoly
papers and uses this kind of rot in the
hope of shutting the farmers eye. But
the farmer wants to know how much
money the wheat will buy. And how
much labor 1t requires to buy a dollar
of money, and also if the bushel Of
wheat will pay any more debt, or inter-
est, or taxes or fees or salary than it
would six months ago, or before the
Mckinley bill become a law. The
monopoly press always dodge these
inquiries, but the farmer is studying
them, nevertheless, and will have his
answer ready on next election day.

sllyre the world's Money.

Senator Stewart of Colorado pub
fishes an able article in the Wash
ington Post on silver money from
which we make the following SEN
tentious and forcible extract.
Silver has been used as money
much longer than gold. 1t is now
exclusively used for that purpose by
at least three fourths ofthe people of
the world. 1t has the same in
destructible qualities as gold. It is
more convenient for monetary uses.
and, besides. it is the money of the
people. Neither the people of Europe
nor America were consulted when
silver was demonetized. The gov
ernmental action which rejected the
white metal as money in the United
States and Europe was secured by
strategy or fraud. The people Of
this country now demand the uncon.
ditional restoration of silver. Free
coinage of silver may not accomplish
all that is desired. 1t may not fur.
nish sufficient money, but it will be
step in advance, and if the mines
continue productive it may accom-.
plish all that will be needed in sup.
plying circulating medium for an
indefinite time.

The Baltimore Morning Herald
closes an editorial on the increased
cost of living with the folio wing
paragraph.
"The rapid rise in the price Of
meats seems to be part of the war
fare waged all along the line against
the consumer. Sugar is manipulated
by trust, oil by the Standard Oil
Company, -four is largely controlled
by the millers in Minnesota, and now
it begins to appear that competition
is dead in the fresh meat trade, and
that the public is to be mulcted in
the interests of the Western combines
and the Eastern Butchers Unions.
What will the people who pay the
bills have to say abont this matter
when the Legislature meets next
January at Annapoliss"
We will undertake the answer. II

to choose or dictate who shall COM
pose the legislature there will be
