Donald that l had made the statement,
but that / was willing 10 withdraw II
whenever 1 had any satisfactory evidence
that said Mcdonald was not the pc rson.
After some time, received from said j,
F. Mcdonald an affidavit which among
other aff1rmations contains the following;
"ThlS SffiRnt was not present at any
time from the 18th day Of January, 1891,
until the 18th day Of March, 1891, nor at
any time during the session." Taking
this affidavit as true, It becomes evident
that I was mistaken, and that said Nc
Donald was not the party who attempted
the aforesaid bribery.
Having made the statement publicly,
now make this withdrawal of the charge
in the most public manner possible, as 1
do not desire to injure, and would not do
so, knowingly, under any Giro instances.

LETTER.

you kindly allow me little space In your
paper to explain the Rice and Mcdonald
affair. During the season Of 01 Of the
Kansas legislature, l was approached by
some gentleman from Parsons In the in
terest Of the change of county seat.
After he had sufficiently explained his
purpose to make 1t only too plain as to
his meaning and intention, carefully
avoided him, and avoided all appearance
Of giving him any encouragement.

affair until at the Wichita convention,
when the nomination of attorney general
was In progress, and Mr.. j. r. Mcdonald
was called upon the stage to address the
convention, when was forcibly reminded
of the occurrence by the striking similar
lty in the appearance of the two indi-
viduslS, and stated my convictions to the
other delegates from COffsy county. 1
also told q delegate from 0Sage county
that 1 believed him to be the same man.
The report spread rapidly, by whom car

defeat Of Mr.. Mcdonald for that nomina-
tion.
After the convention received letter
from Mr.. Mcdonald, which, from its

commodities are at no time sufficient for
more than few months consumption.
Without constant reproduction mankind
would soon be stripped Of all their NOV
able possessions. No more fatal blow,
therefore, could be directed against the
economical machinery Of civilized life
than one against labor, and that blow can
be most effectively delivered through q
policy which strikes down prices. II all
debts In this country had been doubled
by an act oflegislAtion, it would have been
a far less calamity to the debtor and 70
the country than the increase in their
real burden already caused by contrac-
ton in the volume Of money. And In
finltely more disastrous In every sense
than an unjust increase In the burden Of
debt is the universal stagnation Of indus
try and commerce resulting from the
same cause. The doubling Of debts
would have left the productive forces
unlmpalred, while falling prices are sap
pig them insidiously and fatally. Ma
tions have often exhibited an astonishing
capacity for sustaining and repairing the
destruction Of great and protraotsd wars.
The explanation Of this will be found In
the fact that their productive forces have
at such times continued vigorous and ac-
tive. Armies In barracks and on parade
are as essentially nor-producers as when
actively engaged, and considerable pro-
portion of the additions made to armies
in times Of war are recruited from the
ranks Of non-producers. England was
never more prosperous than during the
Napoleonic wars. The northern and
western states Of this union were never
more prosperouw than during the civil
war, and for some time afSerward. So
long as all the productive forces are &C
tive almost any burden can be borne.
The debts Of the country, great as they
are, would scarcely weigh as q feather IL
all It's labor were employed. Indeed, this
country could better afford, in an eco-
nomlcal view, to support one million Of
soldiers in the field than TO support its
present army of three millions that falling
prices have conscrlpted into the ranks Of
non-producers.

An Important Question.

"HoW am I to obtain better prices for
what have to SELF" is often the query
of the farmer and tlller Of the soil, and 1t
ls indeed one Of vast Importance to them.
The question may be answered in Varl-
ous ways by those who have given the
subject their attention. One way Of
answering it, and 1t seems to us the best
way, would be to change the mode Of
marketing what they have to sell by
shipping direct to the larger markets
where the best prices can be obtained.
Commission merchants who receive and
sell the greater portion Of farm produce
In our large cities have hitherto almost
been unknown save to the country
merchants and others who buy produce
for shipment. To them he has been an
important factor In receiving and selling
their shipments, and generally at profit
TO the shipper. II the farmers are to
save this profit they must make use Of
the same means, by making their own
shipments and no longer be compelled to
accept at home what the buyers may
offer them. "But," inquiries the farmer,
show am 1 to do this and who am to
ship tor" To some good reliable COM
mission man, Of course; for no doubt there
are reliable commission men engaged In
this business In our large cities, and they
should not only be selected for their re.
liability, but their attitude toward the
farmers trade should be known. But
few commission houses seek the farmers
trade for fear Of dlSpleasing the country
merchants, thereby lDjuring their trade
from that source. The house selected
should be one that sollclts the farmers
trade direct, and that receives and sells
their shipments upon the same terms and
conditions that 1t does from the mer-
chant and regular shippers.
To those who desire to make their
shipments direct TO the Chicago market,
We would recommend the commission
house Of Summers, MORRISON 6 Co., ia
South Water st. They make q speciality
Of receiving shipments direct from the
farmers and producers, and have very
large trade from this source. They han
die everything you may have to ship,
and il you will write them for prices or
any information that you may desire in
regard toshlpping they will be glad to
furnish Il.

A Colossal Hurrah for Harmony.
1t seemed as though the sky would crack
before the convention could be brought to
order, so instant and extraordinary in vol
ume was the colossal hurrah that went up
from every nook and corner of the hall. The
names of the two remaining proposed COM
promise delegates at large, Hahn and Bush
nell, were scarcely heard in the tumult
When the question on the adoption Of the
four was put by General Gibson, who i'm
pulsively seized Chairman McKinley's
gavel to do it, everybody in the big hall,
delegates and spectators alike, were on
their feet, asserting with voice and arms till
they grew black in the face. Ex-Governor
Foraker's appearance now alongside of
Chairman Mckinley and General Gibson
completed the deafening uproar. When,
after an ovation lasting nearly five minutes,
his voice could be heard, he said:
We are Republicans, and Republicans
only. We came here determined to have
peace, harmony and unity of action, even
If we had to fight for it. We have secured it,
and we have secured 1t without any fighting
among ourselves. The selected candf-
dates on our ticket are ones with which all
shades of Republicans in Ohio are satisfied
and can support jealousy. From this day
let every Republican have his gun pointed

shall strive for result as harmonious as
here. / don't know whether the nominee |
