FOR THE ANTI-OPTION BILL

DR.. @. w. Macune and Mr.. Brigha
Master of the Ohio State Grange, ea1
| spoke in favor of the anti option n
now before Congress, one day IA
week. DR.. Macune said
"The present bill did not intprts
| with the legitimate future" deal
but only with the dealer in "futus
who undertook to manipulate the md
ket. Whenever the speculatOr CTi
horn off the mill men be could cd
troll the price of the futures. Two ye5
ago it looked as if a Liverpool mani
got the market where he wanted
and for nearly two months ''spnI
were as high as Futures" The mil
came into the market, and then d
spectators could not control thing
In his opinion there was no QueSt
but that the present system was b
for the producer. Before the cropW
put into the ground the specuIa
fixed the price and went off to Eurg
When he got back he sold enol
futures" to keep the spot" cGt
at his price, and held it there tu
time to time. The brokers' cOmmisSd
! on all the numerous t-ra2sactiQnS.
asserted, came out of the producer 81
the consumer. The Chicago membn,
Of the Board of Trade, he said had =,
serted that the Spectator paid tboS
commissions, but that was absurd M
spectators did not "eat each ofbor ;
They made money only by "catcbina
suckers"
Mr. Lewis asked whether he though
the producer or the consumer shoI
control the price. 'A'D
Mr.. Macune thought the prodms
should. He added that 1000 900 hb
was not over-prOduction in e Una
States, when the worlds ann; ca
sumption was 10, 600. 900 bales anc~
dla produced only 8, 500. 900 bales =,
Egypt 500, 900 bales. %
Mr.. Macune asserted that one mana

He admitted, however, that he did
know the rules of the New York !
change.
J. Il, Brigham, of Ohio, Master
the National Grange, said that
farmer knew from the first that 5ef
the drought, the rain, and otheradve
conditions to meet. He had
learned that he had also to c0ntl
with combinations which miehtE5
all his labor Improbable. The fIFnei
knew that it vas easy for boards
trade to array IN their side the banl

country, that engine of power whic
controlled public sentiment. The
knew that if the city editor was nc
competent to write a desired editoris
ne would accept one prepared for hiu,
For some time a certain class of me
had assumed a sort of gu~afdianshi
over the farmer, but the farmer ha
now come to the conclusion that h

THE vexed question of what is the
highest mountain in North America
has been determined in favor of st.
Elias. For time it seemed as if ORR
zaba, in Mexico, was to carry off the
palm, and there were loud claims on be-
half of Mount Whitney, the loftiest
summit in the Sierra Nevadas of Cali
fornia. But by trigonometrical meas
urements, in which there is not more
than mere tritiing error, ST. Elias has
been fixed to be 1900 feet high, thus
aiSposing of the vague guesses which
estimated its loftiness all the way from
1900 to 10000 feet.

the weak, nervous and ailing wo-
man. As long as she suffers from
the aches, pains, and arrangements
peculiar to her sex, she can't ex-
pect to.
But there's only herself to blame.
With DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription, she's a different woman.
And it's change that can be seen
as well rs felt. The system is in
vigorated, tho blood enriched, di-
gestion improved, melancholy and
nervousness dispelled.
With the Favorite Prescription,
all the proper functions are restored
to healthy action. Periodical pains,
weak back, bearing-down sensations,
nervous prostration, all "female
complaints" are cured by it. It's
the only medicine for woman's
weaknesses and ailments that's
guaranteed to do what is claimed
for it. If 1t doesn't give satisfac-
ton, in every case for which it's rec
commended, the money is returned.
Can something else offered by
the dealer, though it may pay him
better, be "just as good"?

people in the Third party or Alliance ranki

When the government owns the railroads
as demanded by the third party people. 1T
taxes will he COLLECTED rom them.
Had you thought Of that?
If not, just stop and think for moment
or tourSe everybody knows thai government
property Is not taxed at all, and therefore
when the railroads become The property o
the government they will not tie taxed. The
railroads now pay many millions OF dollars
every y ear as taxes 10 the States, counties
and towns through which they run. Bul
when the government owns them, no State
county or town will get one cent OF tax from
them! -:
