The Lesson Of the Scandal.
Denver News.

Denver News.
The Panama scandal, which is eI-
citing all Paris and threatening even
the existence of the republic, contains
wholesome lesson. That it is the
usual result Of all such schemes need
hardly be asserted. The United
States has had similar experiences.
The Credit MObilier, which built the
Union Pacific, is known to have stOl-
en- 81, 800, 900, while the amount SIM
ilarly obtained by the parties VINO
built the Central Pacific is not and
probably never will be known. The
scandal created in congress by the
Credit MObilier exposure was not bit
less discriminating than that which is
now threatening France with serious
trouble.
In one respect, at least, this Panama
business has come at an OppOrtune
time for the people Of this country.
There is a proposition pending before
congress to lend the credit OF the gov
eminent to the Nicaragua canal
scheme. In its present form it pro-
vides that the government shall guar.
antee the interest on 800, 900, 600 of 3
per cent. bonds, but what other shape
it may assume before it reaches the
final legislative stage cannot be pre-
dicted. The scheme Is similar in
many respects to that by which the
Pacific roads obtained their subsidies
and it is not unlikely to end in SINH
lar scandal.
The News recognizes the vast i'm
portance Of the Nicaragua canal prof.
ect, and the influence it would have
on the commerce Of the world. 1t is
Of Importance enough to the nation
10 render the enterprise needed as
sistance, let the same be voted by con-
gress, to be paid at intervals as the
work progresses, and with it let all
connection Of the government with
the canal cease. The people want no
more partnerships with corporations
such as they have had with the Union
and Central Pacific. The Panama
business should oe an impressive les
son, even il nothing has been learned
from the Credit MObilier experience.

The Monitor a few weeks ago rath-
er secuted the assertion Of the VOICE
that the Republicans would never
make another national contest. OF
course, we meant on old party lines.
We are not alone in such a belief.
Here comes the Des MOineS Daily
News, which has been a Republican
organ and which this year supported
Harrison, thus sums up the matter
for the Republicans:
"As national party the Republi-
cans are confronted by a hopeless fu-
ture. The tariffiSSue can never again
restore them to power. The indus
tries of the country are too strong to
longer care for or need protective
tariff. The sectional or war issue is
dead, and the north will be Mich
ganized" so as to render the solid
north forever impossible. The mo-
nOpolies are too unpopular to carry
any party into power, and with their
strong hold on both the old parties
they will not need to turn out one of
them in order to turn in the other.
1t is really doubtful if the Republi-
cans will ever hold another national
convention. 1t will be strange il
they hold two more"
Mr.. Ingalls,, also, sees the handwri-
ting on the wall. The Monitor will
certainly not sheer at the view Of its
great high priest. In Philadelphia
recently he said in an interview:
1.-THE Republicanparty is now at the
stage in its history where it is with
out leaders and without hope, and
must STAR anew and build itself
up. 1t gave no evidence in the past
campaign that there was single pol
itician in its ranks who understood
the pure business Of modern politics.

1t seems that Or. MaCune, of the
National Economist played hockey in
the last campaign and when called to
account by the Alliance declared he
would go of and not swing on the Al
4iance gate any more. The Alliance
promptly accepted his offer and
seemed glad to get rid of him, but
'1ow the doctor declares he will swing
on the gate anyhow. He is probably
'lgaFing for a chance TO again betrav
the party. 1t would seem that the
party is well rid Of him and should
let him flock off b. himself. 1t does

The unwise system OF high protective
tariff that W. nov maintain is prolific of
such evil results. IL is paternalism now

will, bye and bye, begin to look upon
the States as mere dependencies on the
great, powerful, c-n'rai head AMI then
there will be lett but the hollow crust of
departed liberty. The men who now
use the fuactipnS of government for

Sell or Make Use Of All Products Of
the Farm.
Farmers waste more than any 9th
er class OF business men. Why is it?
Farmer c. is going to market with 40
pounds of butter today. Will he car
ry anything else? No, he can't both
er today. To be sure, there is more
pie-plant and asparagus than the
family can eat; it might bring 81. SO
to $500, but he doesn't care to fuss
for that. Then little later comes
Strawberries, but he can give away
what the family doesn't want if the
neighbors will pick them themselves.
AS for early peas there are hardly
enough to pay for fussing with them.
He might pick three pecks at As
cents, but they can spoil or the birds
carry them off. The grocer tells him
he will take all the sweet corn he will
bring and pay for what he sells while
he can take the remainder home to
feed the pigs. Here is a dollar or two
extra and he can carry it as we'll as
not when he goes to market with but
ter and eggs; but it is bother any
way. If he cannot spare more than
a couple of barrels of apples, or five
bushels OF potatoes, or two dozen
cabbages, squashes, ETC., he does
not bother to find market
for SO small quantity. and perhaps
he puts several dollars worth of vege-
tables that he has no use for into the
cellar, or outdoor pit, simply because
he doesn't take the trouble to sell
them. Now, fancy, says a writer
in the Cleaner, I hear some
man say: "The potatoes, ETC., are
worth something 20 feed live stock in
Winter" Does he feed them? Gener-
ally they remain in the cellar until
February or March, when he carries
out decayed cabbages, apples, ETC.;
and the potatoes have shriveled until
he thinks he'll let them go until plant
ing time, for be may need most of
them. A merchant often spends more
time in selling SO to rs cents worth
of his stock, than in selling a SIS dress
pattern. We say that is his business!
It is farmers business to try to sell
his stock instead of letting it waste.
A penny saved in farming is worth as
much as in any other business! In the
largest business establishments if O.
book-keeper's accounts fall short a.
few cents, he often spends hours of
valuable time trying to find out where
the error lies. A farmer needs to calcu-
late as closely as any other business
man in order to be successful. Does
he do it?

gave the best yields.
