Effects OF Contraction.

In 1861 the cereal crop was
1929, 729 400 bushels, valued at
81, 2S4, O37, 3O9-less than 81 per
bushel. The amount of circulating
medium per capita was 1871 !;
failures, 2,7SO; amount Of loss,
$96,666, 900.
In 1881 the cereal crop was 3
600 ,457 900 bushels, valued at ST.
2O4 ,2S9, 37O-less than 80 cents per
busheI. The amount of circulation
per capita 1861 failures, 1902;
amount of loss $685., T2l 1888.
Thus we see that the crop OF
1881 was over double the crop OF
1861, and worth less than half the
value of the crop of 1867. The
circulating medium in 1887 was $50
less, per capita, than in 1867. Fail
ures in 1881 were 1892 more than
in 1867. Losses IN 1887 were
232,455,SSS more than in 1867.
Now, vote-'er-straight, just take
your party rule of contraction sit
down and figure the loss in prices
of the cereal crop, and the loss by
reason of failures from 1861 to 1887
and see how many times the bonded
debt of the nation could have been
paid if it had not been for contrac-
ton, brought about under the
administration of the Republican
party; then subtract the total
amount of the losses during those
twenty years from the financial
prosperity of the common people OF
the nation, and see how much pros
perity there is left for Deacon
Harrison and the demagogues OF
the Republican party to blow about.

late Election.

newspapapcrs on the late election
in the United States. Various
causes are given for the results IN
different states but one fact seems
to be entirely overlooked, and that
is the leosening OF party ties.
Democrats vote with Republicans
in Kansas, with apparently no other
motive than to defeat a reform
movement. In Iowa, it is claimed
that Democracy triumphed because
of its devotion to the liquor traffic;
and Republican votes turned the
scales. In Ohio, free silver beat
Mr.. Campbell, Democratic nominee
for governor; or it may have been
the tariff, or both combined In
New York the fight was for and
against Tammany. Flower bid for
the Tammany vote, and won by a
good majority. The railroads, loan
companies, allied with the re-snb-
missionists, was the force swayed
against the Peoples party In Kan
sas. Whisky reelected Boics IN
Iowa. Wall street and whisky
beat Campbell in Ohio. Tammany,
the most corrupt political ring on
the globe, beat the Republican par

summing up of the whole campaign
And what mess! What a

Drenched BY Boiling Rain.

w. S. Barton, q we'll known min
ing prospector, has just returned to
San BernardiDO from an exploration
of the famous Death valley. In the
trip south Barton stopped at I6eX,
on the edge Of Death valley. Here
at midnight the thermometer stood at
lis; Over the valley-and by this is
meant Death valley-at p. m. there
occurred q remarkable phenomenon.
Two clouds, one from the east and
one from the west, met. An electric
storm followed, the like of which
has never been seen by living man,
aud for an hour the blaze wac simply
terrific. Then following. the electric
storm came o fall of boiling hot rain.
! This lasted for about ten minutes
Z he parties in Camp were actually
/ forced to cover themselves from the
scslding water. The thunder was
! something which no artillery force
| on the face of the earth, no matter
| how great, could equal.

Iican, and when he isn't watching
Carte Harrison, he is extending the
city limits and blowing about the
worlds fair.
In st. Louis he spells his name
Schmidt and drinks his beer out OF q
pitcher. He votes the democratic
ticket and runs with q CLIQUE. He
likes cheese and goes to bed with his
shoes on.
He died at st. Paul while the Mimi
esota legislature was in session, and
the Minnesota papers say ne was
over-fed.
But it is said to John Smiths
credit, wherever you find him, he
never named any of his budding
craftsmanship Abraham Lincoln or
Jefferson Davis to find them twen-
ty years afterward driving a garbage
wagon.

Los Angeles herald., 1891-08-02

TIE board of supervisors yesterday
took the bull by the horns, and initi-
ated measures that will lead to the va
cation of the old court house by Satur-
day of next week. That body is tired
Of paying $25 day for the rent of the
old ramshackle affair, as stipulated in
the agreement of sale, and this ener-
getic resolution is the consequence.
Contracts were let for furnishing the
upper storiesoi the building, the prin-
cipal one being awarded to an eastern
man for $4,000, and it may be safely
assumed that no more ornate or per-
fectly equipped edifice of the kind will
be known in the United States than the
new Los Angeles court house. 1t is to
be hoped that efforts will be made at an
early day 10 make the grounds present
able. They ought to be terraced, and at
least graced with plenty of bluegrass
and an occasional ornamental tree.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-08-02


PERHAPs the Smart Alecks Who have
attempted to belittle the HERALD's out
giving of the great things ahead for
Santa Monica will be good enough to
take note OF the fact that twenty -one
gentlemen belonging to the engineering
corps of the Southern Pacific Railway
arrived in Los Angeles last night ticketed
for that place We shall soon see what
bluff amounts to as against genuine ne VS.
paper enterprise. Our Rip Van Winkle
contemporaries could not be made to be-
lieve in the Salton sea, or HERALD lake,
until after the San Francisco papers had
caught on. This is more of the same
thing. 1t is astonishing how much they
will all know about Mr.. Huntington's
projects concerning Santa Monica when
work actually begins.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-08-02

JUsT now there is large complaint
amongst Los Angeles farmers OF the low
price of potatoes. 1t is very hard to
think OF any circumstances in which
Los Angeles farmer would not complain.
He can raise two crops year, and his
crop is very abundant circum-
stances in which he is greatly envied by
