plowed, while in others very little seed had
been planted. Wheat was decidedly back
ward, except in the Dakotas and Washing
ton, the acreage of cotton less and the
field suffering from drought.
The significant fact about the cotton crop
is the decrease in acreage. That there is
such decrease is reasonably certain, though
opinions differ as to how great it is. Esti-
mates run from ten to fifteen per cent. less in
Louisiana to thirty to thirty-five per cent.
less in Virginia. The low prices last
year left every body poor. The planters had
no money with which to buy fertilizers and
supplies, and the merchants and cotton fac
tors were unable to make the usual advances.
Drought has seriously affected the crop in
some States, in others it is reported to be in
excellent condition. The total yield will be
less than last year.
Corn has suffered from the late spring in
J the great corn-growing States, but more
particularly from continuous and heavy
rains. In some States the plowing, at the
time the report was made, was not half
done. while in others it has not even
been begun. In Indiana not five per
cent. of the seed was in the ground.
while in Nebraska it will be week before
the plow can be put into the sol, even if it
should stop raining. STILL ii good weather
should come at once, there would be an
average acreage and yield. In some States
the acreage would be larger than last year.

cent. larger than last year, and it is esti-
mated that the yield per acre will De three

larger than last year, the weeks OF cold rain
have made the prospects of the harvest far

An Honest Republican.

The Lawrence Record seems to be
a 'dOubting Thomas" in regard to the
stories that hundreds of Alliance
men are coming back to the Repub-
licans." The Record is a Republican
paper in good standing. 1t says:
We hear so often the fippant re-
mark that hundreds of Alliance men
are coming back to the Republicans,
that we want to see the names of two
or three, not necessarily for publica-
tiOn, but as an earnest of good faith.
We do not mean Alliance men who
like Matchett, have never left the
republican party, but members of the
Peoples party proper: Please give US
the names and addresses of two or
three of the hundreds of Peoples
party men coming back to the Repub-
licanS. 1t is very cOnSoling for Re
publicanS to stand on the street cor
ners, with widely separated feet and
talk confidently about the detection
of the democracy; but it is worse than
folly to depend upon such reports
What Democrats are getting ready to
vote the Republican ticket? Let us
have their names. In the meantime
let us all realize this fact: As the
fight stands today, We are whipped
0pt of our boots, and we cannot turn
the tide by lying about our sappOrt
that we are no more likely to receive
than reinforcements from the cem-
etery.

THE PROHIBI7IONISTS.
An Enthusiastic County Convention and
a Full Ticket-Lively Addresses
Afternoon and Evening.

The Prohibition county convention
seems to have furnished quite a sur
prise to some people, because Of the
number in attendance. There were
about fifty members Of the conven-
tion, coming from all parts Of the
county. 10. Holmes, Of South Ha-
ven, presided.
The ticket nominated was as fol-
lows:
District Clerk, Virgil Magill, Of
Morris township.
Probate Judge, ]. H. Green, Of H.
linois township.
County Attorney, S. W. Duncan, of
Argonia.
County Superintendent, Lizzie S.
Campbell, of Wellington.
State Senator, Edmund Frantz, OF
Wellington.
Representative 10Th district, T. P.
Neal, of Caldwell.
Representative list district, d. W.
Benton, Of Wellington.
Commissioner 3rd district, Geo. B.
Burtch.
An effort was made to leave County
Superintendent blank in favor Of Mrs.
Carson, but it failed.
After the nominations were made,
r. L. Davidson, candidate for Attor-
ney General, delivered rousing ad-
dress. In the evening, Rev. ]. NJ. Mon
roe, candidate for COngressman-at-
Large, gave a fOrcible address. The
hall was about half full Of people. He
was very severe on President Harri-
son and the Republican party and
drew forth great applause.

The value of gold as money does
not depend upon Its intrinsic value.
Money is the legal tender of law: its
legal tender quality confers value
whether the thing Of which it is made
is gold or silver or copper or paper.
Governments have the right to coin
money and regulate the value thereof.
They have the right to say what shall
pay debts. The act is one of arbi-
trary power, but it none the less
confers value upon the thing it stamps
as money. The coin stamp of the
government upon gold increases the
value of the metal, because by putting
1t increases the demand for it.

GOVERNMENT OF ROBBERS.
Oliver p. Morton.

GOVERNMENT OF ROBBERS
Oliver P. Morton.
A government that fosters 1900
banks by furnishing them with cur.
rency at one per cent Der annum
loans them sixty millions more of the
peoples money without interest or
cost, when it knows the banks are
making the people pay them interest
on their own money. A government
which tOlerates such things cannot be
a government for and by the people,
but is government of robbers and is
unworthy of support, save by robbers
themselves. There is gathered
around the capital OF this nation a
gang of pirates who thundered sue.
cessfully at the doors until they have
driven this government into the most
prep0sterOus acts Of bad faith and le.
galized robbery that ever oppressed
free nation since the dawn of history.

What POwherly Says.
j. NJ. DOUBLEDAY

T. V. POwderly, in the Knights of
Labor Journal says, "Had the Repub-
lican party spoken truthfully in their
platform, it would read like this:
Whereas, We are in Office,
Resolved, that we want to stay in.
Had the Democrats, later on, can
didly expressed their sentiments and
modelled their platform after truth
ful and honest pattern, it would now
be before the people in this shape:
Whereas, We are not in Office,
Resolved that we want to get in.
Being in and out is practically the
only difference between the rival
wings Of the party Of plutocracy.

First reports from Georgia indicate
that the negroes all voted the Dem
Ocratic ticket Wednesday and that
the old party carries the state by
twenty to thirty thousand majority.
A large majority of the intelligent
vote Of the state is for the Peoples
party but uuder southern election
laws they are temporarily prevented
from asserting their power. There is
something mysterious about all the
negroes suddenly turning Democratic.

ways be suppressed in this manner.

COMMON GAMBLERS.
Thomas H. Benton.

The government ought not to dele
gate this power (Of issuing money! If
it could. 1t is too great a power to
be trusted to any banking business
whatever. The people are not safe
when such company has such a pow
er. The temptation is too great, the
opportunity too easy, to put up and
down, to bring the whole community
on its knees to the Neptunes, who
preside over the flux and rehux of pa
per money. Stocks are their play
thing, with which they gamble with
as little secrecy and less morality
than common gamblers.

THE FACTS.
New York Printer.

1t is a prodigiOus piece of AFRO
gance for a handful OF Republican
printers to pretend that No. 6 as a
body will support Reid for vice-presi-
dent for the sole reason that he con-
ceded the demands of a labor Organiz-
alton for fair wages. A man who
must be forced at the point of a pOlit-
ical bayonet to treat his wOrkmen
fairly, cannot be expected to count on
their votes election day.
