ADD carbon to pure iron and it be-

iron, and steel itself becomes so extern
sively modified that its properties are
not recognizable. Thus steel may be
as soft as pure iron. Add hydrogen in
varying quantity, and it has the quail

ADVERTISING is the legitimate coad-
jutor OF any legitimate business. No
one occupation or set of men has a mo-
uopoly OF it by any code Of common
sense When properly used and de-
Yeloped to it's capacity for good it is as
honorable and as dignifed in its appn-
cation to the professions mentioned as
1t Is to the merchant. manufacturer
publisher, playwright. the artist or the
pulpit. Like anything else. it can be
put to wrong ends; but that should not
discredit advertising as proper factor
for good purposes. As well denounce
religion because there are hypocrites
or condemn water as drink because
men are drowned in the bay. Because
rascals aud disreputable members Of
the profession have invoked its aid
does not limit its usefulness when put
10 good ends.

that Grant and Jewell were alon together

previous sugges ton of the ,ub ect, the
president said to his cabinet adviser
Jewell. hcw do you suppose your resig-
nation would look written out?' Jewell,

The original and enterprising de-
parture of The St, Louis Republic in
sending two papers of six pages every
week to the subscribers of its weekly

promised from time to time in other
ways. The plan of issuing twice q

all The Republics readers, who find
that they get the news earlier than is
possible by any other weekly paper,
while paying only ST. a year. This
feature taken in connection with the
special Missouri edition, which gives
Missouri readers great deal more
State news than can be found in any
other paper, is bringing The Republic
very large increase of subscribers.

Selling Ont Farmers.

The Kansas Farmer tells some
things bont the condition OF the agri-
cultural class in that State that are not
generally known, and which shows
that the Farmers movement did not
come any too soon. The Greenwood
County Republican OF ree4nt date
contains 80 advertisements of farms to
be sold by the Sheriff. This tells q
distressing story, certainly ,bnt there are
more and worse to come. The Topeka
Capital showed recently by official
reports tl.at Kansas farms are being
soid out usder mortgage. by the couri s,
at the rate of $500 year. This is an
average Of 46 for every county in the
State; SO that closing out farmers un-
der mortgage would appear TO be the

time. And even this is not the worst,
for, we learn:
"a syndicate with a capital of $40. 900
peka, for the purpose of getting under one
ownership and one control all the Western
farms which are fast going into the hands Of
loan agents and money LENDERS"
The loan agents and noney-lenders
represent Northeastern capitalists; the
money loaned on Kansas farms-prob-
ably $3.50 ,000, 900 In amounts North-
eastern IN oney; the $50, 900 mortgages
on Kansas farms are held in the North
east; and it is proba BILE this $4,000. 900
syndicate that is preparing to take
possession of the tiers of farms whose
owners are being sold out, will be COM
posed of Northeastern capitalists, with
Northeastern money behind them.
The Farmer says: 1.-THE Register of Deeds
of one of the southwestern counties told the
writer hereof a few weeks ago that his office
work then consisted chiefly in recording
deeds of farms voluntarily transferred by
their owners to the holders of the mort
cages"
And yet Republican Congress AMI
a Republican Administration declare
that tn ese hard-pressed Kansas farm
ers, VIII ose homes are being sold out at
the rate of 5. 300 year. must be taxed
to protect the prosperous, favored man
ufaeturers of the very section that has
SO many surplus millions to loan out
on Kansas farm mortgages.
The plain truth is that the present
distressed condition of Kansas farmers
is the product of 20 years of the Repub-
lican protective policy. That policy
has bled the farmers till there is no
more blood left in them, and now,
they are being forced to move off to
make room for syndicate plan OF
farming under the control of North
eastern capitalists.-St. Joseph Ballot.
