AT TEN CENTS AN ACRE.
That Is Melbourne's Figure for soutl
Dakota Rains.

DdhOl 1NhluHs
Hon. E. BACK of Aberdeen, speaking
of the proposed rainmaking scheme of
Mr.. Melbourne, remarked that Brown
County people are still interested in it,
and desire q practical test. A recent
letter from Mr.. Melbourne stated that
he thought he could afford to furnish
rain at the rate of 10 cents an acre, If
1000, 600 acres of land could be secured,
and hoped upon his return from Mex
leo, to be able to contract with South
Dakotans in this locality for a few
showers at least. The Goodland Rain
making Company has representatives
in this part of the State calling upon
County Commissioners with a view to
contracting for moisture for the present
seasons crop. AS yet they have not
succeeded in closing a single contract,
but may do SO before many days.

The Russian EXilcx Denied Passage
Across Germany.
THE Brcslau Zcitung publishes tho
text of m imperial decree prohibiting
the passage of Russian Jews through
Germany. The decree is very rigorous,
and those Jews to whom the frontier
committees guarantee support and those
provided with money and tickets for
passage on ocean steamers are refused
entry into Germany equally with those
Jews who are entirely destitute and
friendlcss. The police are warned, UNI
der penalty OF severe punishment, to
carry out tt the letter the instructions
contained in The decree and under no
circumstances to permit any evasion of
the law by the large number of Jews
who are trying to enter Germany
through Gallicia. AS it is impossible to
make the decree known throughout
Russia. thousands of Jews. ignorant of
h prohibition, are certain to arrive at
the frontier, where. as they will be
halted and not be permitted TO proceed
further. it will be impossible to provide
accommodations for them. "A few cases
have already occurred where Jews. ell
%ieavoring to get into the country de-
spite the warnings they received, nave
been shot down while attempting to
pass the frontier guards. The commit
tee which has been formed for the pur-
pose of providing relief for these unfor-

number of Jews are seeking to escape
from Russian tyranny and persecution
and are ready to emigrate whenever the
opportunity offers. The committee.

Business indications are not quite so

grain and cotton falls off and the sharp
decline in prices is felt in many quar-
ters, but the lone in the iron, wooden,
cotton and shoe manufacturers is rather
improved. The money markets are
abundantly supplied. With unusually
conflicting signs. the confidence which
prevails in business circles is still una
bated.
Unfavorable weather affects spring

OF the CurrenCyY

Now 1T is announced that ex- Gov
ernor George w. Click says that "the
Democratic and Peoples party state
committees have arrived at an un-
derstandiug by which combination
between the two parties is certain" !"
We advise those who are 80 deeply
interested in this matter not to bet
any money on it. The state commit
tee Of the Peoples party was not
elected to sell the party out, and if
such q thing is contemplated there
are several chances that it will mis-
carry. We are in quite close touch
with the masses Of the people Of our
party and we have failed as yet to
hear any marked sentiment in favor
of fusion upon any basis whatever.
While we are aware there are indi
vidusls who are inclined that way,
their number is too small to control
the convention; and we spprehend
that even the fusionists will object to
having a bargain Of this kind made
by the committee. In fact, the COM
mittee has not been in session, and
hence could not have made any such
arrangement. If the committee will
attend strictly to the duties that be-
long to it, 1T will have plenty to do
up to the time the convention meets,
and that body will be abundantly
able to shape ITS own policy.

THE QUESTION OF DEPRECIATION.
fO the RdirOr Of THR ADVOCATR,


To the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE:
have no doubt that Mr.. W. A. Bald
win in "Soldler's View" last week, is
entirely right as to the prices which he
gives and the relation thereto of gold. /
am also persuaded that Senator PETER is
right, II he had taken time to explain
himself.
The high prices during the war were
normal under those conditions, and gold
fluctusted as wildly as storm driven
wave, simply because it was not then in
any proper sense, money.
think that Mr.. B. will demonstrate
this to himself by reducing trade prices
during the war, for instance, to gold
standard; which will show his wheat,
his labor, his boots and his clothes to have
been apparently cheaper during gigan-
tic and dubious war than before or after
in a state Of profound peace, which is
ridiculous.
This is q point Of great importance and
1 am not able to speak eT c0thedrG on 1t
yet, though / want very badly to attain
that power for purpose.
II any Of your subscribers has a copy
of a metropolitan paper for the week in
cludiDg July II, 1864, or for the same
week of 1859 or '59, with the market re-
ports, I will be much obliged for the loan
of either or both, especially the one of
1864, and will carefully return 1t after
taking an authenticated copy.
This is of very great importance for
many reasons, and I hope any one
whom may be so happy as to have In
terested, will do me this kindness, If in
their power. Fl. A. HIGGINs.

No, neither party wants to put such
a plank in its platform simply because
neither party dares to do it. Though
the Republican state platform Of 1890
demanded free coinage, and though
the late Republican Senate demanded
it, the very men who voted for it in the
