An Explanation

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Sept. 23, 1892
Friend Scott: The delay in writing
another portion of "Reminiscences" is
caused by unexpected and quite i'm.
pOrtant duties i had not anticipated
San Siege is to celebrate the 350th an.
niversary Ofthe discovery of San Diego
Bay and the coast of California OH the
18th and 18th proXimo; and great
preparations are being made for the
event. An immense crowd from Mex
leo and different portions of the Unit
ed States will be here, and among
them many dignitaries. The Presi-
dent of the Mexican Republic is using
his influence towards its success, and
he has authorized one of his Military
Bands and one of his cruisers, the
Democratic, to be present with quite a
squad of soldiers and sailors. There
will be several American cruisers
the Baltimore, the Charleston, the
San Francisco, and others. An inn
mense time is expected.
What 1 started out TO say was that
1 am one of an important committee
and that for two weeks past we have
had daily sessions and much work to
dO,-so that my head is full of Cabrillo
celebration. Hope you will excuse.
Yours Respectfully,
H. w. TALCoTT.

Pears
Soap

The skin ought to be
clear; there is nothing
strange in a beautiful face.
If we wash with proper
soap, the skin will be open
and clear, unless the
health is bad. A good
skin is better than a
doctor.
The soap to use is
Pears; no alkali in it. 1t
is perhaps the only soap
in the world with no al
kali in it.
All sorts of stores sell
it, especially druggists;
all sorts of people use it.

WHEREAS, The dread messenger
of death has for the first time entered
our camp, claiming for his own one OF
our most useful and beloved members,
brother George Woodin, and
WHEREAS, The manly and Chris
tian character of the deceased had won
the love, admiration and confidence OF
the members of our order, and endear-
ed him to the hearts of all with whom
he was intimately associated in the
walks of life, therefore be it
ResOtred, That we bow in humble
submission to the dictates of the Mas
ter, believing that in due time our loss
will be adjusted at Gods right hand.
ResOlred, That i'm his death Nc
Cook Camp has lost a member who
was faithful to his duty and to the in
terests of the camp; that his family
have lost a kind and loving brother
and son, and society member who
was always enlisted for usefulness and
right.
ResOlred, That in this sad bereave-
ment we extend to the family our
sincere and heartfelt sympathies and
commend them for comfort and con-
ISOLATION to Him who alone can heal all
sorrow.

SENATOR CARLISLE is a Democrat
and rank free-trader, and he cannot
therefore be accused of making DELHI
crate misstatements to help the Re-
publican party. Yet in a recent
speech he said:
think it is the unanimous opinion
of economists and statisticians who
have investigated the subject that for
many years, in all the great industri-
al and commercial countries of the
world, the prices of commodities have
been decreasing, and the rates OF
wages, especially in those occupations
which require considerable degree
of skill and intelligence, have been in
creasing.
That is plain declaration of an un-
deniable fact,-and it dismounts every
gun in the Peoples party battery.
The whole contention of this party is
founded on the charge that the rich
are growing richer and the poor are
growing poorer. Their position then
is swept utterly away when it is
shown-as it is by statistics which
have never been successfully challeng-
ed-that the profits of capital are
growing continually smaller while the
profits of labor are growing constant
~ greater.

ChctOpd Democrat: Our Peoples

"touchy." They don't want Demo-
Gratis to say that vote for Weaver is
half vote for Cleveland. Let them
convince a Democrat that this is not

feated. fit was not fact that Demo-
Gratis thought that q UOte for ITcdccr,

1892 ninety bushels Of wheat at Ga

it required fifteen bushels of corn to
pay for key Of nails. In 1892 six and
one-fourth bushels Of corn buys key
of better nails. In 1876 when barb
wire was first made it took fifty-two
bushels of corn to bny 100 pounds of
wire. 1t takes only 81 bushels to buy
100 pounds of better wire to-day.

He received the following reply:
ANN ARBoR, Mich, S-24-'9:


Dear Sir:-Your letter of Aug. %,
with clipping from the San Francisco
| Examiner has been handed me. In
reply would say that there is not
one word of truth in the statement in
the clipping referred to. We do not
sell to foreign customers at less price
than to home customers. Indeed, ICe
hare never sold q single implement to
any customer ia Spanish Americd at
any price.
1t is true that implements of our
make have been sold by us to export
merchants in New York and may
have been shipped by them to differ
ent countries and sold at such prices
as they, the export merchants, saw
fit, we having no control over the
prices they might fix. The prices
given in the clipping are our whole
sale prices and retail prices without
reference to the country in which they
are sold. The wholesale prices being
net at factory for knOck-dOwn goods,
the retail prices subject to discount
for cash, or if without discount one
years time, the goods being set up
and delivered,
| would further state that in conse-
quence of great depression in 1884 this
company was obliged to make an as
signment, and hare from that time
to the present been doing business
throuqh an assignee. This would not
indicate that protection has enabled
this company to plumber American
farmers
