A SOLID BASIS,

The subject of western farm mort
cages is one that has caused the eastern
community of capitalists deeper concern
the past two or three years than any
other. This is not strange; self interest
is the first and strongest prompting one
can experience, and a large amount of
the casts surplus money has been loaned
on the farm lands of the west. The deep
solicitude above referred to has been the
result mainly, in Kansas at least, of the
demagogic misrepresentation that have
been made of the situation of the agri-
cultural community. All this is familiar
to the reader of current events and need
not be retold here. Suffice it to say, the
era of calamity" is now happily passed
and the portion of the west bounded by
the four lines of the state Of Kansas is
on the highway Of prosperity. 1t is in
deed gratifying to know this and no less
pleasant to know that everybody else is
coguizant of the fact. The American
Investor, the especial mission of which
is to ascertain the true status of all in
vestment enterprises and publish it for
the information of those it serves
admits it. In regard to the
subject of western farm mort
cages the Investor presents some
statements of fact by way of pro of or
justification for the conclusions it
reaches, towit:
a farmer living in the west, beyond
the 99th meridian, had this year twenty
five acres of wheat for which he paid an
even $40 per acre. He was foolish
enough 10 raise from this patch just an
even 5l0 bushels of wheat. which at the
'Coing price" is worth S423.30. 1t cost
him exactly SOS 20 to produce this result
making HIM a net profit of $50 per cent,
which ought TO satisfy any reasonable
man. Now he saws. I'll pay for nv land
$3.50, and still have SO. 10 in nav pocket.
Viii some one take the rostrum,
and tell us where, in any
state east Of Ohio, such a result
can be produceds IL IS because this
cannot be done that we have confidence
IN properiv-plsced western farm mort
ear, crop failures Well, the differ
ence between the eastern and western
farmer consists 10 the very simple fact
that the former must have, every year.
the beSt Of crops TO carry himself and
has high-prIced farm, whereas the latter
can i've equally well if he secures two
good crops cut Of FIVE, which he gen
orally does. This Is another cause for
the confidence we have. Again, the
western land, by reason Of the very viz
tues we have mentioned. Is on the as
tendency IN value, whereas the eastern
Is on the decline. Let the honest and
sincere investor ponder over these two
conditions. and make an election es TO
which OF the two ne would prefer 70 loan
his funds. We have decided X long
slnce."

The reading public is being feasted just
at present with continued series of object
lessons, otherwise illustrations of stirring
local events. Last week the EAGLE led
off with the reproduction of the scenes
and events of the previous day at the
great Southern Kansas fair, which illus
trations gave those who failed 10 attend
a comprehensive idea of what the fair
was for each day. 1t is needless to say
this feature was highly appreciated by
all. This week the Chicago, St. Louis
and Kansas City papers are following
suit and are giving reproductions in
their columns of scenes and incidents
that occurred at the Grant monument
ded cation, the Yelled Prophets demon
stration and the Priests of Pallas parade
in those cities respectively. Written de-
scriptions are necessary of course-you
cannot make picture talk-but illustra-
tions are just as necessary to give the
reader a comprehensive idea of the thing
talked about.

A srARrL1Ne D1scovBRY.

Among the most wonderful things de-
veloped to the human race are the re-
searches and discoveries made by medi-
cal science of recent years. To this the
world is indebted for the knowledge it
possesses of the cause or origin of dis
eases that erstwhile we're puzzle to the
profession, and for unfailing remedies
for affections long regarded as incura-
bic. Without going into details, which
is not necessary to the reading public,
to call to mind the numerous points and
incidents bearing on this subject, men
ton is here made of late discovery
that is little less than startling if it shall
be verified. A commission appointed
by the University of Pennsylvania to in
vestigate and test the effects Of Koch's
lymph on cattle has just made its report.
1t has succeeded in establishing tubercu-
losis in cattle. and the commission comes
to the final conclusion and positively as
serts that sit is to the use of milk and the
flesh of cattle that the human family
owes the existence of consumpti
among its members" And it further
more states as fact beyond dispute that
the only people who are free from pull
monary diseases are those who do not
use the milk rfiesh of the cow.
As in the case of the invention of some
new war implement or engine of destrnc-
ton, the inventive genius is put to work
to devise some counter force to over
come the others destructive effects, so in
this case; medical science must set
about discovering some process or agency
either to remove the deadly condition of
the kline or overcome its baleful effects
upon the human system. This is abso-
lutely imperative. To take away milk
and butter would be to remove the best
part of the living of the larger half of
the hu man race.

THE DEMOCRACY DODGING.

| If the silver question enters into and
becomes an issue in the national cam
paign next year it will have to be forced
in by the west. 1t is now settled fact
that the east is against it. The Demo-
Gratis, notwithstanding all the bowling
they did during the last congress in favor
of free coinage and the almost solid vote
against the act that was passed, are now
as bitterly opposed to it, and more so,
than anybody else. There is nothing
surprising in this and it only exemplifies
their duplicity and lack of conviction on
any economic question upon which the
Republican party may lead off in the in
terest of the government and the people,
further than to antagonize, and this they
may be relied upon to do, always.
Just at present, interest centers in the
Ohio campaign. In their state platform
they pronounced for free coinage, but
their candidate for governor promptly
repudiated the plank and kicked it out.
Since that time they have attempted to
ignore the question. As for the south,
it is as clay in the potters hands. Its
demands for free coinage SO loudly pro-
claimed up to within the past two or
three months are not heard any more,
but instead it is already commenced to
to do the trucking act to the money
power of the east. This needs no proof:
they acknowledge it by their silence, but
if evidence of such a compact were
needed the subjoined extract from let
ter written by A. B. Farquhar, Penn
sylvania Democrat of some prominence,
to ex-senator Reagan of Texas, would
supply it. He says:
eff we win it will be a great
victory for tariff reform, for we
have, of course, been handicapped by
the free silver blunder in the platform.
If we lose (Which does not at all seem
probable) all will agree that free silver
did it. The people of Ohio are beginning,
however, to understand that the demo-
cracy of the state of Ohio are at least
sounder than their Republican opponents
and infinitely less hypocritical in their
attitude, for the Democratic disposition
there is to ignore the silver question,
considering its position mistaken, un-
timely and adopted without proper con-
sideration. 1t takes no very astute mind
or remarkably keen vision to see that
''free silver" is dead, and that after this
falls election it will cease to be an issue.

From our market reports for several
days, It is clear that our stock raisers
are making grave mistake. A consid-
cradle portion of the offerings, both cat.
tie and hogs. are unfit for slaughter and
the effect upon the market is to keer
prices down. But this isn't all nor the
worst feature of it. Marketing lean and
UNFIT stock is depicting the supplies in
she country, at present sacrifice and a
great loss in the future. Somebody
ought to issue a hold-your cattle circu-
lar to apply particularly to the class of
stock referred TO. There is no good
reason for selling unfit stock; the price
of feed nor lack of it warrants such a
policy, which is short-sighted, the least
that can be said Of it.

From Archie, Mo-, comes the state
ment that few nights ago ten-acre LOT
of ground near that place suddenly sank
to uniform depth of seven feet and
that the basin thus formed gradually
filled with water and now there exists
an apparently permanent lake. Such
occurrences while comparatively rare
have taken place in different portions OF
the country. One of the most remarka.
bic occurred s good many years ago in
Obion county, Tennessee, which result

WALL STREET AND SILVER


The Wall street influence of the New
York Chamber of Commerce appointed
committee of eminent inanciers last
spring who were instructed to bring in a
report disclosing the danger to the coun-
try of the silver law passed by the last
Republican congress. The committee of
gold-bugs, after waiting all summer for
financial blizzard or for some sign of
depreciation or of reputation, now re-
port back that there is nothing to report.
The truth is for thirty years, or ever
since Salmon P. Chase was sworn in as
secretary of the treasury, to find only
Democratic defalcations and theft and
discredit, the Republican party has con-
trolled the finances and upheld the only
system of sound currency that the coun-
try ever knew, and it is not probable that
with this thirty years Of added expert
ence that the party would be guilty of
such blunder as was made in South
America within year, upon the one
hand, or that it will, upon the other
hand. squeeze the business interests of
the country down to the infexible and
grinding standard prayed for by Wall
street and by misers and hoarders of
