Wonan's T,ove.

The one thing in this would that is
constant, the one peak that rises
above all clouds, the one window in
which light forever burns, the one star
which darkness cannot quench, is
woman's love. 1t arises to the great
est height it sinks to the lowest depths,
it fOrgives the most cruel injuries. 1t
is perennial of life and grows in every
cline; neither coldness nor neglect,
harshness, nor cruelty can extinguish
it. a woman's love is the perfume of
the heart. This is the real love that
subdues the earth; the love that has
wrought miracles in art, that gives us
music all the way from the cradle song
to the grand symphony that bears the
soul away on wings of power. sweeter
than life and stronger tnan DEATH
Ingersoll.
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1892-04-14

KANSAS delegates to the Ch icago
convention, if they desire to represent
Kansas democrats in every sense of the
word, will do all in their power to have
that convention adopt a platform that
will give us something to fight for.
They cannot do this and give in to the
demands of certain element in the
party that ever works for the interests
of the east as against those of the west.
The time has come when the west and
south should no longer bow to the knee
to the wealthy east. and we have hopes
that this will be demonstrated at our
national convention. Let us have a
platform that is fair and just to ALL
people; nominate a man who will
stand squarely and unequivocally upon
such a platform and there is not true
democrat in the land will have the
least inclination to kick over the traces.
Do otherwise, and there viii be thous-
ands: of our men disappointed. How
far their disappointment will carry
them only the sequel to be published
in November can disclose. 1t is a well
known fact that republicans have in
the past voted against their own in
terests. and did it knowingly, but for
party success" Democrats have a
more liberal conception of the election
privilege, and are too often tempted to
become divided on sictienai lines.
All those things should be considered
by the Chicago convention. and con-
sidered earnestly. Let every part of
the state be represented in the Kansas
delegation and let men be selected who
viii make determined fight for what
Kansas democrats want.

Range.
1882

These figures show that the average
price of wheat in the Chicago market in
1891 was of a cent below that of 1882.
Corn was .0Ss cents lower ard oats
.044 cents lower while there was a diff
rerence of S9.773 in favor of the former
year on mess pork.
These figures tell a story which some
of the farmers have already learned.
Who would pay as much for farm in
1892 as he would in 1882 with this diff
ference in prices staring him in the
face?
Some may assert that land in some of
the western states is selling higher now
than in 1882. IL this were admitted
anybody would see at a glance that the
investment would pay less per cent in
1891 than in 1882.
The figures are not at hand giving
the amount of wheat, corn, oats and
hogs raised in the state of Ohio in the
two years named, but the Beacon pre-
diets if any man will go to the trouble
of hunting them up that they will find
additional proof that farm lands paid a
less income in 1891 than in 1882.
Now why is this difference in prices?
Wheat has held up better than corn or
pork because Europe is starving for
bread. Corn and pork have gone lower
because some of the countries of Europe
like Germany and France, have exclud-
ed our pork because they want to retail
late ON this country because of its high
tariff laws.
Anyone having interest enough in this
subject to hunt up the figures, Will find
that manufacturing states have increas-
ed in wealth much faster than the
agricultural states of the south and
west. This increase is due to tariff
laws which increase the price of man
ufactured goods and lowers the price of
farm products by interfering with their
exchange for products of other count
ries.
MIR. Carnegie, when recently in Cali
fornia, remarked to newspaper re-
porter that he had made his millions by
having other men do his work. If the
farmers of Ohio and other western
states want to create wealth for other
people, let them continue to vote for
a high tariff.-Wichita Beacon.
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1892-04-14
VALUE OF LAND.

Will somebody tell us why the farm
lands OF Ohio are worth million dollars
less today than they were two years ago,
while the population of the state has
increased? This question is only asked
to old party men. Any alliance man or
peoples party man can answer it.-Bar-
Der County Index.
Farm lands may be deprecated in
two ways. First. by increasing the
purchasing power Of money and secon-
dly by lowering the prices of farm
products.
The purchasing power of the dollar
has not been greatly changed in the
last ten years, but how is it about the
prices OF farm products?
The Chicago Daily News Almanac
gives the prices of wheat for a number
of years in that city. In one column is
given the range of prices for the year.
The Beacon has added the highest and
lowest prices and taken the average.
The first column given below is from
the News Almanac while the second is
given by the Beacon. The year 1882 is
compared with 1891, because the as
sessment to which the Barber County
Index refers must have been taken
last year.
