EDITOR ADvocATE:-The crushing de-
feat that the republicans sustained in
the recent election has caused many
thinking men of that party to pause and
examine the surroundings, to discover
just where they are at, and we believe
this is good time to continue the cam
paign Of education.
Before the election, when asked the
cause OF the low price OF farm products,
the answer usually was overproduction.

to find out just how much truth there
was in the statement. Accordingly l
wrote friend at Junction City to sscer-
tain Of the proper officers at Fort Riley
what constituted a days rations for a
soldier, Of -four and pork. The answer
was, eighteen ounces of -four, or twenty
ounces Of bread, and two-thirds pound
Of pork. l then wrote Secretary Rusk
to know the amount Of the wheat crop
for 1891; also number Of fat hogs and fat
cattle marketed the same year. Accord
ingly l received reply from Mr.. Dodge,
government statistician, end learned that
the estimated wheat crop for 1891 was
611,000,000 bushels, but could not give
number of either fat hogs or cattle mar
keted, but sent me census report from
which learned that the entire number
Of hogs, shosts and pigs on farms and
ranches was 54,OO00OO for 1891. With
this data / began my investigation, by
reducing the amount of wheat to flour by
allowing thirty pounds to the bushel,
and allowing sixteen ounces or one pound

Saved His Arm.

VIM. Dixon, accompanied by his son,
Will, are in Topeka this week consulting
DR.. Roby, the eminent surgeon, in regard
to Wills arm. Five different surgeons
in Hutchinson, after examining the arm,
decided that it must be amputated. Mr..
Dixon is not satisfied, however, that
such is the case and will not submit to
an amputation until he is convinced that
there is no possible way of saving the
arm. The trouble seems to be carries or
necrosis of the bones of the forearm,
caused by bruise or orsprain.
LATER.
Mr.. Dixon returned this morning,
bearing the good news that modern sur
gerry has saved Wills arm. DR.. Roby,

performed several difficult operations in
this city, did the work, and is confident

paper, or have become indebted by pur'
chases at paper prices, to liquidate their
obligations in coin. 1t is not a good
answer to this to say that if debtors
suffer in this way now, creditors suffered
in an inverse way fifteen years ago. The
answer would be better one il it could
be truly said, as it cannot be, that the
debtors who are now to suffer are the
same persons who made corresponding
gain fifteen years ago, and that the
creditors who are now to gain are the
same persons who then suffered CORE
spending loss. An. injustice to one class
of persons is neither remedied nor COM
pensated by inficting an injustice upon
another class. The only ground upon
which resumption Of coin payments
can be justified is that it is absolutely
essential to the public welfare. If re-
sumption is demanded, it is by policy,
and not by equity. No mans equities
are impaired by continuance Of the
present state Of things. There is no
holder of greenbacks who cannot get as
much as he gave for them. II prices
have been inflated in this country, it was
caused by an excessive issue Of legal
tender paper, resulting from the real or
supposed necessities of the government.
No particular class can be charged with
being responsible for it. Those who now
find themselves crushed beneath load
Of debts through falling prices brought
about bV contraction of the currency,
cannot be Justly taunled with previous
recklessness, because they transacted
business in prices regulated by forces
over which they had no control. AS the
debtors Of the country are not more re-
sponsible than the creditors for the sus-
pension Of specie payments, the burdens
Of resumption should not be imposed on
them alone. 1t is claimed that resump-
tion is necessary for the welfare of all.
Whatever sacrifices may be necessarily
upon it should therefore be, as
nearly as possible, equitably shared by
all.

That Oeur dAlene Business to be Looked
Into,

Into.
There is hope that some light may be
thrown upon the brutalities committed
by the Idaho state government supported
by the United States troops, in connec-
tion with the Ceur d'Alene mining
troubles last summer. This disturbance
took place at the time when the Home
stead war and the convict lease war in
Tennessee we're dividing the attention of
the country, and received in consequence
scanty attention. What facts did trans
pire strongly suggested that certain riot
GUS disturbances at the mines were made
the pretext for a violent and high
handed policy Of suppressing labor Or
CARNATIONS by military force which
would have been worthy of Cossack
general putting down Polish insurrec-
tion.
It happens that among the hundreds
of men who were arrested by the troops
and thrown into jail on the charge of
aiding and abetting rioters, was one
Chisholm, British subject. He alleges
that he was kept in Jail from July II to
September 80, without trial, and that no
attention was given to his protest and
claim of being a British subject. His
government has now demanded an ex-
plauation from ours, and the administra-
ton has telegraphed in hot haste for
information to be sent on by the Idaho
authorities. Undoubtedly Chisholm will
get redress and apologies, but the several
hundred other men who received the
same treatment, being only American
citizens, will get neither.
We expect that when the full history
of that Ceur dAlene matter gets to be
written, it will be found to be one of the
most dlsgraceful incidents in the history
Of our government. What the people Of
Idaho think about it is to be inferred
from the late election, which took the
state out of the republican column and
gave it to the Peoples psrty.-New Ma

ber of days in the year, got the exact
facts, and was surprised to find that it
would take the entire wheat crop for
that year and nearly 18 100000 bushels
more to give each inhsbitsnt sixteen
ounces per day. But some say that
there are 80 many children that it would
be impossible to consume so much per
capita. Deduct the 1S0,OOO,0OO from the
amount for that year, and it will not be
much over twelve ounces per day for
each inhabltant. Then deduct the
amount exported, and we find that the
people of the United States do not con-
sumo much over one-third Of the ration
Of flour for soldier.
The investigation of the pork ration
was still more surprising, in view of the
loud noise made in forcing the American
hog into Germany. Two thirds of
pound per day for each inhabitant would
be nearly 100000 pounds per day, fol-
lowing the same rule as with the -four.
Multiplying the number of days in the
year would give total number Of pounds.
Allowing that each hog reported in the
census was fed out and netted 125
pounds of bacon, 1T would take every
hog raised aud 100000 besides to give
a soldiers rstions to each inhabitant.
Well, we don't all eat pork, SO reduce
the 100000 hogs to beef csrcasses Of
500 pounds each net, and | find it will
take besides all the hogs 18,2O0,0OO head
Of beef cattle averaging 500 pounds net
to supply to every inhabitant soldiers
ration.
In the Kansas Farmer Of August 30
is a report Of the Kansas City stock
yards, giving an account of receipts for
the year, and I find there a statement
in regard to the number of cattle mar
keted at the four great cattle markets of
America, viz, Chicago, ST. Louis, Kansas
City and Omaha, and formed the great
total for the year, including calves,
stockers, etc., to be 100000 head, or
only one-third required to feed the pop
ulation for q year. Then we must re-
member that over 100000 of the very
best Of these were exported to foreign
countries, requiring 100000 to be sup
piled by the butchers of the towns and
villages Of the country. Does any sane
man believe that such vast number is
supplied by them? Nay, verify, it is not
overproduction, but under consumption,
The more / investigate this subject,
the more / am satisfied that if we had
circulating medium sufficient to do the
business Of the country on a cash basis
that we would not have any, or very lit
tie, surplus wheat or flour for export.
Then one more fact, and | close. The
wheat crop of 1892 is about 120,0O0,0O0l
bushels less than the crop Of 1891, and
still the crop has been sold here for from
60 to 80 per cent. less than that Of last
years, and it is Of a much better quality.
Mr.. Editor, push the educational de-
psrtment. Truth will finally triumph.
The people are investigating as never
before. Will the democratic admins
tration afford US any relief? No, they
are now ignoring the demands Of the
people by talking Of tariff reduction and |
lowering Of expenses. The people de-
mand more and cheaper money, the free
coinage of silver and government owner

side tracked by tariff nonsense or any,
