A Republican on Silver.

The Salt Lake Tribune, Republican
paper, has some remarks on the silver
question which are calculated to fill
those eminent Republicans, Messrs.
John Sherman and William Mckinley,
with sadness. This western Republican
paper says:
The question Of giving to silver the
same recognition as money that is
given to gold Is not partisan question,
but rather 1t is q sectional one. The
ed one-half the money in the world.
That 30 far as the influence Of our
country was concerned, it by natural
law destroyed one-half the property in
the world; that the fall Of prices is not
because ofthe tariff; that the distress is
not because of the tariff; but it is
because, when our business was run
ming at full speed, when the country was
advancing As no country advanced
before, at time when our people were
using twice as much money as any
other people, and when they needed
three times as much money as any
other people per capita, this infamous
act, at the dictation of the creditor
class, was forced upon our country.
That all the sorrows named above and
more to, followed as natural sequence,
and that the first thing TO do to restore
the ancient prosperity is to give back
the old recognition Of silver, and to
learn to appreciate the real. fact that
the gold and silver In the western
deserts of this country were placed
there for the purpose Of making the
lubricating oil for commerce, that it's
wheels might move without heating or
delay onward to the peaceable con-
quest of this continent, and that, in
point of fact, the silver plank in the
Ohio Democratic platform is the only
really important plank in the whole
instrument.
advocacy Of silver money began in the
west; it is creeping east; and II the
Democrats of Ohio are bright they will
fill that state with men who can discuss
the silver question on its merits, that
will have very little to say about the
Mckinley tariff. that will show to the
men Of Ohio, Republicans and Demo
Gratis alike, that the cause Of the con-
gestion Of business, the fall of prices,
which during the last fifteen years has
taken vast amount Of the profits from
labor, which has filled the land with
distress, which has caused the mort
cages on the country to treble; which
has doubled the number of inmates in
the prisons and insane asylums; which
has caused young men and women to
fly from beautiful homes in the country
in which they were born, to seek liv-
ing by their wits in the cities; which
has caused land to fall 80 per cent
throughout the old, beautiful agricul.
tural valleys between the prairies and
the Atlantic; which has stopped the in
crease Of population in all the rura
districts; which has given city after
city . feverish boom out of proportion
to the country surrounding them; thai
all these misfortunes and many more
have their origin in that nefarious act
through which our government with
drew its recognition from the silvel
dollar, when that dollar on an ever
footing with gold was worth premium
over the gold dollar. That act, 30 fal
as our country was concerned, destroy

able answer because it comes from al

every schoolboy in York township, that

the prices Of articles produced by the
American farmer than the WauseOn

kin, China.
lfany illustration Of this fact is need
ed the recent advance in the price of
grain il the best that could be cited.
Last year, with half a crop, wheat was
worth twenty-five cents less than it is
this year. The worlds market. which
is open, controls the prices of grain
which the farmer has to sell. The
worlds market, which is free, also con-
trolls the prices of the manufactured ar
ticles which the farmer has to buy, un-
til they reach our custom houses when
they are bitrarily and artificially
raised by tax called protection" to
American manufacturers.
1t is easy to zee why some msnufact-
urers and high tariff beneficiaries favor
protection. But why an American
farmer should do so on such q preteXt

AGRICULTURAL.
RESULTS REACHED AT THE OHIO
EXPERIMENT STATION.
How Much Seed Wheat Should be Put
Upon Each Acre to Insure the
Very Largest Results
in the Crop.

Experimental in seeding with different
quantities Of wheat were begun on the
farm belonging 20 the Ohio State Uni
versity several years previous to the
establishment Of the Experiment Sta
ton. These experiments have been
continued on the same farm by the Sta
tion, and the tenth experiment has just
been harvested.
In this experiment two varieties Of
wheat were used, Dietz and Velvet
Chaff (Penquite's Velvet). The land
on which they were sown had borne
nine successive crops Of wheat, having
been dressed three times with barnyard
manure during that period.
The land occupied by the Velvet
wheat lies upon q gravel knoll, sloping
to the west, the gravel coming in some
places to within two or three feet Of the
surface. The wheat on this knoll has
for several seasons been less vigorous
than in other parts of the field and this
season especially it WAS badly infested
with the wheat midge, commonly
known as red weevil.
The Dietz wheat grew upon land of a
little better quality, aud sloping to the
east instead of west. 1t was but slightly
injured by insects. The results for this
year are given in the following table,
the yield being given in bushels per
acre. The plots were exactly one-te nth
acre each in size:

Mr.. Thomas DOlan ia a wooden manu-
facturer of Philadelphia. He had a
hand In the framing of the wool sched-
ule in tine present tariff, acting in fact
as colleague of that gentle shepherd
Of Ohio, Judge Lawrence, before the
ways and means committee. When II
was adopted the manufacturer was as
well satisfied as the representative OF
the wool growers interests, and 1t did
really look as though the lion and the
lamb were going to lie down together.
But alas! the millennium is no nearer
than ever, aud the lamb is inside the
lion, after all.
The satisfaction of wool buyers and OF
wool growers WAS equally deep when
the Mckinley bill became a law, and
with one Of them it is abiding. Mr..
DolRn writes as follows in the New
York World:
ut is ali interesting fact, deserving
Of empasis of state, that the prices
of wool are lower now than they were
one year ago. This decline was dis
tinctly promised by the prOtectionists
during the discussion which accom-
panied the framing the Mckinley tar
it,"
This naturally arouses the ire or
Judge Lawrence. since it shows him
treacherous to the wool growers inter
ests, or without ability to look after
them and he rushes In to print in the
Wool and Cotton Reporter and shakes
a metaphorical fist at his late cole ague
man ufacturer. Judge Lawrence told
the committee, "in January of $780,"
30 he writes, that the duty on wool
must be increased, "in order that the
farmer might make the wool industry
more profitable" No doubt, and no
doubt he was promised an advance in
prices, just as the manufacturers We're
promised decline-but one side had
to be fooled, and is not this the true in
wardnees of the wool schedule which
Mr.. Dolan has let out? The manufac-
turers were taken care Of by the high
protectionists. as usual; and the farm
ers got left-also as usual.
The sting Of Mr.. Dolan's statement
is its truthfulness, which no denial by
Judge Lawrence can disprove, but its
publication is strikingly ill-timed. Mr..
Doland should have been grateful
enough to his friends, "the protection
lists, ," to have refrained from giving
them away just now when they have
to endeavOr to elect their high priest
governor of Ohio. Ohio, where the
wool growers live and vote and are sell
ing their wool-in fulfillment of the
pledges given the manufacturers by
McKinley-from Cwo to four cents a
pound cheaper than last year.

The Urbana Citizen and Gazette, has
been publishing the reasons given by a
number of more or less distinguished
Republican statesmen as to"Why am
a Protectionist?" Among them all suf-
ficient, insufficient and trifling, the
most ridiculous is from farmer and
the 'Farmer" statesman who tried to
get elected to Congress in the Sixth
District last year as a Republican and
was beaten by man named dennis"
Donovan. His reason is this:
II am protectiouist because 1 be-
lieve in diversified industries and wish
to see capital invested where it will
give employment to our own citizens,
thus creating demand for labor which
will maintain or enhance the prices
now paid. Such policy will develop
good home markets for all kinds of
produce grown upon the farm. And q
good home market is the best market in
the ,OorLd for the farmer.

series of years at the Ohio Experiment
Station, with the following results:

not seem advisable to SOW deeper than

ROLLER-PRESS DRILLING.
In the average of six years wheat
sown with the roller-press drill has
yielded about eight per cent. more than
thatsown with the ordinary drill. More
or less increase has followed the roller
press in almost every season, but sim

to the use of the common roller after
seeding.
