is very desirable that those who attend the

dozen lines, as democratic doctrine.
Among the demands are: free coinage,

poor way of showing it. They defeated

Expense Of the AllIane. ''..No. 2.

ED. INDEX: Item of the great ALL
ance expense account, made out by "S, u
of the Cresset, which we referred to last
week, is great charge for the depreci-
alton In land values in Barber county.
for which, he says, the alliance is di-
rectly responsible
IS" says that the alliance people will
charge this decrease to the money ba-
rons," which statement shows that "S''
himself knows to whom large amount
OF the decrease should be charged.
But what does he say? He would
have us believe that land in this county
did not depreciate before the organlza-
ton of the peoples party, and that,
therefore, this party, or the " calamity
howlers," as he calls them, are wholly
responsible for the decline in the price
of land and the loss of the confidence of
investors and mortgage men in Kansas
soil and Kansas people.
Now, the peoples party was not Or
ganized in Kansas until 1890, and every
body knows that the price of land had,
at that time, deprecated greatly below
what it was IN 1885,. Everybody
knows that "boom," or speculative
craze, swept all over Kansas about that
time and prices of real estate were in
Hated away beyond its actual value, and
although, in many instances, land
changed hands rapidly, even at these
olg prices, owing to this speculative
spirit, that had possession of almost
everybody, yet the last party who
bought at these inflated prices, was the
one who was LEFT" because the land
was not really worth the price. In the
very nature of things this condition
could not last long, and the natural and
inevitable consequence was, that land
soon began rapidly to go down in price
fully one-half between the years of 1886
and 1890 in many parts of the state, and
even in Barber county some of it.
But the boom" was not the onlv
cause of the fall in the price of land.
We cite the further fact, that while
Barber county had, IN 1885 and SO pro-
duced some excellent crops and had got
ton the name abroad of an exceedingly
fertile country, the crops from 's7 to 80
were comparatively very short, and of
course this caused the price of land to
go down.
On account of these short crops, not
only in Barber county, but in nearly all
of central and western Kansas, the av-
erage farmer, at the low prices he OBJ
tanned for his produce, could not pay up
his interest on the money he had Dor
rowed and for which he had mortgaged
his farm, and of course the credit of
Kansas, among eastern men, suffered
in consequence.
But had the farmer received as much
for his grain and live stock as he was
Justly entitled to, many a man in Kan
sas could have sustained his credit, who,

lCONDUCTED BY sUPT. j. O. HAHN.
A GROWING NEED.

Slowly but surely it is being forced
upon the minds of the farmers that bus
mess principles are not out of place in
the management of a well conducted
farm. On this point T. B. Terry saws
in the Maine Farmer:
More business ability required for
special farming? Yes. But that is
what the farmer of the future wants.
He must learn what his farm and him
self are best fitted for, and then do 1T.
lie must find where his products are
wanted. and send them there. He must
find where he can buy to the best adj
vantage, at wholesale, what he wants.
and again skip over the middle man.
Then he will become more like other
business men. Then will he make
more money. The special farmer can,
in many ways, reduce the cost of pro-
duction, thus increasing his profits. Let
me illustrate briefly in the line of nv
specially. l ride while the machine
plants potatoes, an acre in two hours.
L hoe by horse power, at the rate of
fourteen to twenty acres a day, with
one mans labor. L dig thoroughly well
while riding another machine, drawn
by four horses, which does the work of
fifteen men with forks. use bushel
boxes IN handling the crop, and thus
greatly reduce the labor bill, etc. Now,
what possible chance has the common
farmer, raising an acre or two in the
old way, to compete with me? He must
grow poorer and poorer, while make
money right along, about one hundred
per cent. net, one year with another.
He is behind the times. am simply

pies. l can get better prices, because 1 |
can furnish large lots that run uniform.

Republicans admit that wages have
been reduced to very low notch, but
say that the cost of living has also been
reduced. This is true if you measure
the cost OF living by money standard
But the cost of Lying ought always to
be measured by a labor standard. 1t

a bushel of wheat or corn as it did

The following opinions OF prominent bank
ers in New York City were recently given to
the Mail and Express upon the present status
of the silver question:
George 8. Coe, PRESIDENT OF the American
Exchange National bank: 81 do not want to
discuss the abstract question at any length
now, yet Il will state my opinion that all dam
ger of the passage of free-coinage bill is
over. This fact Is generally recognized by
nnanciers The money question, In my judy
ment, is not simply national one, but one
that concerns all nations conformity, and think
the next serious legislation on the subject will
De based on that ground. The course this leg
islation will take, believe, will be in the di-
rection of repeal of the present silver bill. or
at least limitation of the law In its present
phase it is not Just and should be changed"

have therefore sent large quantities of bonds

fourths of our wooden factories. Wedo
not mean the large manufactures,
where wool is made into carpets aud
clothing, but the small factories which
once fiourished in every town of a
thousand inhabitants, VIII ere the wool
was cleaned, carded, made into rolls,

small factories employed two or three
men, and their earnings were spent
among the producers of wealth. Now
all wool goes to the big factories and
the wool raiser pays the freight.
