PROSPERITY FOR THE FARMERS.

Henry Clews, commenting on the
large export possibilities of America this
year says: The quantity of wheat La
bic to be exported during the coming
year may be inferred from the fact that,
during the year ending July I, 1891, We
exported JOG, 100000 bushels of wheat
and flour with a crop of 400, 900. 900 BUSH
els, which was 40, 100000 bushels less
than the probable crop of the present
year; from which it may be inferred that
our actual capacity for export out of
this years crop will be considerably
over zoo, GOO, 900 bushels, our highest pre-
vlous export having been 1S6. 900, 600
bushels In 1881. The average value of
our annual exports of wheat and flour,
for the last seven years. has been
Sl0S, G00,OO0, the average export price
Producing the flour TO wheat having
been o14 cents per bushel. Should the
exports out of this crop reach 200, 000,-
UOO bushels and the export price aver
age 81, the value of our shipments in
1912 would exceed by S92, COO, 900 the
average yearly shipments of the last
seven years. On this basis of valuation
the present year, estimated at $40, G00,-
600 bushels, would give to the farmers,
millers, carriers and handlers a total
result of $40, 900, against 1912, $780,
600 as the value of last years crop of
4O0.000,0G0 bushels, valued at an aver
age export price of 932 cents per
bushel. Results like these, upon our
three great crops, mean an invaluable
boon to our great agricultural industry
and to all other industries dependent
upon it, the effects of which cannot fail
to be soon felt in marked revival of
both our internal and external COM

A Preparation for the Bath.

Those who are troubled with offensive
perspiration would do well when talking
bath to use a preparation made as fol-
lows: Take of soap powder and powdered
borax each one-half ounce; essence of
bergamot, six drains; oil of lemon and
oil of neroh, of each two drains; oil Of
rosemary, thirty drops; altar of roses,
five drops.
Or, if this is too expensive, the drug
gist can use the soap and borax and sub
stitute cheaper perfumes. The oils should
be well rubbed with these bases in
mortar and put into a bottle, which
should be kept corked and in a cool place
One-half to one tablespoonful may be
added to an ordinary bathtub full OF

Senator Sherman seems to think that
the Republicans of OHIO have more TO
fear from the indifference of the party
outside that state as to the result than to
any lack of harmony or interest in the
state, connecting the observation with
the declaration that the money question
is the paramount issue in the campaign
and pronouncing in the same breath
against the free coinage of silver. Our
candid opinion is that if the Republicans
Of Ohio are defeated in the pending con
test, it will be more the result of Just
such declarations OF Mr.. Sherman than
any other influence. The outside indif-
ference is unquestionably largely due 20

The meaning of free silver coinage is
that the government shall purchase the
output of the silver mines at a considera-
bic advance upon its market value. Con-
cedIng this to be right then why should
not the same favor be shown to those who
have lead, zinc, copper and other ores to
sell?-Globe- Democrat.
By what process Of reasoning the CD.
arrives at such conclusion we are unable
to conceive. The free silver coinage, as
we understand it, does not necessarily
imply that the government shall pur-
chase any of that product at all; but
rather that it would be relieved from ne
cessity or duty of purchasing any,
if the theory Of the opposition to such
policy may be depended upon, for they
declare that the silver producers would
be so greatly benefited by the free coin
age of their metal that none would be
offered for sale as bullion.

there was something of an event to the
staid old Kentucky town, the home and
last resting place of the illustrious COM

kansan was received and entertained by
the good citizens of the Blue Grass me-
tropolis in true southern style of genial
hospitality. Senator Blackburn even
went up from his home in Versailles to
greet him. And in order to give the

A TRIBUTE TO THE sHEAvEs.

And, wandering thither, have found

And stacked in many golden mound
And while cool evening saavely grows
And DER the sunsets dying rose
The first great white star throhs and CLOVIS
And from the clear east, red OF glare,
The ascendant harvest moon floats fair
Through dreamy deeps and purple air.
And in among the slanted sheaves
a tender light its glamour weaves,
A lovely light that lures, deceives-

A homeward host OF shadows glide,
And sickles gleam on every side.

The Kansas farmers seem surprised be-
cause the banks refuse TO loan any more
money on Kansas land. What else could
they expect would be the result of Judge
Mckay's determination to prevent the
foreclosure and collection of mortgages
Buffalo Express.
Such would, indeed, be the logical Sc
quenee of the policy referred to, but the
facts of the situation do not bear it out.
The truth is the farmers of Kansas. in a
large majority of cases, have either anti
cipated their,mortgage obligations-those
who were thus obhgated-and obviated
foreclosure proceedings by paying off
such obligations, in part or in whole
And this naturally suggests the answer
to the first allegation quoted above in
regard to further loans, that is, that the
Kansas farmers as a class are not calling
for loans on their land. Instead of Dor
rowing money on what land they have,
many of them are investing their sur
plus cash in more land. The Kansas
farmer, in a material way, is all right,

A GOOD WORD FROM OHIO.

1t is so rare for a paper IN another
state. when occasion affords an oppor-
tunity to speak of Kansas, to say ought
but that that is hurtful and slanderous
that the following just and truthful
statement from the Urbana, Ohio,
Citizen is no less surprising than crafty
ing. The Citizen says:
1.-The real condition of people and
affairs in Kansas ought to be generally
known by the people of Ohio. The
truth would quickly explode the lies and
fallacies of PETER and Simpson and all
that measly crowd.
"The farmers of Kansas will this year
sell and export over S100,0O0,000 worth
of surplus farm products, after they
have retained the greatest abundance
for home consumption in 1891 and for
food and seed in 1892, or until another
great harvest is reaped. Think Of it! A
per capita wealth of $50 or so in cash
this year for every man, woman and
child in the state of Kansas. Enough
and more than enough to pay every
pressing debt and lay by good honest
penny for a rainy day.
And still these calamity pests come
to Ohio, and 60 about the country gener
ally, declaiming that the people of Kan
sas are in a starving condition. 4 wish,
says a Kansas friend in recent letter,
that you could make a trip across our
state and behold the wealth of wheat

thousands of head of fine, fat, sleek
cattle. 1t is enough to make the heart
of man glad-even though he be as de-
generate and ungrateful as Jerry Simp-

eve certainly would like to take such
a trip and would rejoice exceedingly if
every Ohio reader of the Citizen could
take it. 1t would be through veritable
paradise, land Of peace, prosperity and
plenty.

that it would actually burn them when
they wet their swollen tongues with IL.
