.lished an interesting and significant
story. 1t was of the success of the
Chicago "plunger" who had bet
against the wheat-grower.
According to Mckinley speeches re-
Gently made in rural districts. the
farmer was to be the great beneficiary
of the tariff. His wheat was to be pro-
tected As If to smile upon protection
Providence granted to this country an
abundant crop of cereals and threat
ened Europe with dearth of corn and
wheat Prices for farm products were
togo up, SO the McKinleyites said, and
they were duly thankful that Proyi-
dence, for once at least, was on the
side of the taxi atherer.
But the Chicago 'plungor" was of n
different mind. His name is Ed Pard-
ridge, and long ago he began to bet in
the Chicago "wheat pit" against the
tarmer-to bet that he wouldn't get
more than 80 cents per bushel for his
wheat. At first the market went
against him. He cleaned up with II
loss of 100000 and mortgaged his
property for $350,000.
But he kept on. His faith in the
ill-fortune of the American farmers
encouraged him. He knew the world
was against the farmer and that the
tariff had been made to rob him. He
believed in the efficiency of the bullion
dollar congress and of the men who
had bought its majority for the repub-
licans. So he kept on betting against
the farmer, betting that wheat will 60
down to 80 cents II bushel He sold
short and carried $4,000, 900 imaginary
and expensive bushels for many
months. Finally, his presciCnce was
rewarded. The farmer LOST Wheat
went down. Ed paid of his mortgage
and had u million dollars to lay aside.
In this country and under its benign
tariff it is always safe to bet against
the farmer.

NIChean.,1

WShere is one word in the English
language that should be eliminatee
10y absolute disuse. it is the word
~]cheap." Just now the whole world
Us searching for something "cheap."
Cheap men, cheap women, cheap
children are sought for on the one
hand; and cheap food, cheap clothing,
and cheap shelter on the other. No
matter how much sorrow, suffering or
misery it may cost, if it is only cheap
to the purchaser. Such proposition
lis all wrong and means poverty and
want to the laborer. just and equit-
able conditions among the people de-
mand that nothing produced by labor
should be cheap. Cheap products mean
cheap days works. and cheap days
works mean hunger, nakedness and
distress. That nothing is cheap to one
producer that is made cheap at the
expense of another producer is an
economic proposition which can not be
refuted. What is most needed at pres
ent to make the people prosperous and
happy is cheap dollor and dear
days work. They have been contend
ing with dear dollar and cheap
days work until debt and fnancil des-
truction is seen on every hand. Now
they ask for a change, and from the
outlook are going to have it.
Perhaps some one will say they can
buy more with dollar now than ever
before; this is no doubt true, and
herein lies the difficulty. There are
hundreds of thousands of good citizens
eager for on opportunity to earn the
dollar, but can find no employment.
Beside, what will the dollar purchase
more OFF Absolutely nothing but the
fruits Of some other mans labor.
Others will say that a days work will
buy as much of the necessaries of life
now as ever before; grant that this
may be true, yet there are thousands
who can not find the days labor to per-
form; and if found, it will only buy
the products of some other days labor
as cheaply. This idea of cheapness,
as now understood, means the product
of one set of laborers competing
against the products of another set of
laborers, while money is teasting and
enriching itself on their disasters.
The true test for this great question
SHOW many dollars will days work
purchase, or how much interest or
principal will its products buyp If it
will purchase less dollars today than
one year ago, or If its products will
pay less interest or debt principal, than
labor has decreased in value or money
has increased. This test never fails.
Try it.-National Waterman.

The Situation.

FULLY Scott of Oberlin, who was
elected delegate-at-large to the ma
tional democratic convention, passed
through this city Sunday on his way to
Pittsburg. He is one of the demo-
cratic leaders who is industriously
trying TO bring about combination
between the democrats and peoples
party. $50 far as the Sixth congress-
ional district is concerned" he said,
"it'will be in line with the party. The
democrats who have remained by the
party so far can be depended upon. 1t
is simple question of arithmetic and
common sense in this state. The cleo
torial vote of Kansas may decide who
will be president of the United States,
and if the peoples party is willing to
make anything like fair concessions
the democrats should and l believe
will meet them. Is they are hot will
ing to give way at all the only thing
for the democrats to do is to make
nominations from constable to COVER
nor and hold the party vote. In my
district the peoples party will re.
nominate Baker and the democrats
will generally vote for him. l think
Judge Smith of Stockton will be the
republican nominee. Smith is the
strongest man the republicans could
nominate, but he will be defeated.
There is not the ghost OF chance to
defeat Baker in the Sixth district -
