Is it OyerprOductIOn That Keeps
Wheat Low i'm Prices,

When Rothchild's rustlers try to get
out of the charge that they have put the
price of wheat down by making money
scarce they say that the farmers are to
blame themselves; they raise too much.
In a powerful speech in the senate
against the issue of gold bonds Senator
Teller, of Colorado, proved this, like all
their other claims, false. lie said, lin
1899 we had one hundred million BUSH
els of wheat less than we had the year
before. Wheat was sixteen per cent
cheaper last year than it was the year
before. We had five hundred million
fewer bushels of corn and corn was
three cents and a fraction a bushel
cheaper than it was the year before.
With a smaller crop of rye, rye is lower
than it was the year before. With a
smaller crop of barley, barley is lower
than it was the year before. If there is
anything that a man raises on a farm
that is not lower to-day than it was last
year the only two items are cotton and
potatoes. In some sections of the
country potatoes are higher this year
because of a short crop, and cotton has
also been higher because of the short
ness of the crop. With these two ex-
ceptions 1 do not believe / can nam an
article that a farmer in this country
raises, whether it be in the cold regions
of Maine OF the warm regions of the
south, that is not lower.
Now acting on the fact that Il short
crop makes higher prices some cotton
growers are trying to form a sort of
trust to limit the production of cotton
aud that infallible fount of wisdom, the
Thalbote, some time ago advised the
German farmers of this county TO stop
raising so much wheat and go at other
things, such as bee culture (imkerei)
etc. But as surely as lone swallow does
not make a summer" so surely will this
not work as a rule although one short
crop generally makes higher prices. On
the contrary, if Europe finds her supply
of breadstuffs and cotton permanently
reduced from this direction she will do
just what she has done before. that is,
make the greater eXertiOnS to stimulate
the production OF these things from
other countries, Asia, Africa and South
America. And we find still less demand
for the American products and lower
prices for them by reason of the compe-
ton of those that are raised by the
cheapest labor in the world. There is
but one cure, that is for America to take
the bit in her mouth and throw off the
rule of Rothschild and his rustlers and
restore constitutional coinage. Then
all products will bring more as measured
in gold than they do now. That is to
say gold will be cheaper and all products
will rise in market price. L still believe
that Washington, Jefferson, Madison,
Monroe, Hamilton and Gallatin were
wiser than Rothchild and all his preda-
tory gang and think our best guide is
the constitution that they left us. 1t
settles what money is and does not
leave ms in the humiliating position of
going to a Brussels conference to ask
Lord Rothchild for any plan"

nRIIIX SAID

The New York Sun, which is the only
democratic paper published in New
York City, very truly says: "If the
congress, now supposed to be demo-
cratic, lives up to every article of the
democratic creed, as declared in the
Chicago platform, and fulflls every
promise made by the party before cleo
ton, including the promise to maintain
the parity of gold and silver as money.
and the promise to abolish republican
protection as unconstitutional, and as
fraud and robbery, and to establish in
place of it a tariff for evenue only ; if
it does these things then the ffty-third
congress will be proved to be democratic
in both branches.
But if the congress fails to do these
things through a lack in the number OF
democratic votes necessary to KEEP
silver and gold equally in use as money
metals, and to wipe out republican pro-
lection, and to enact a tariff for revenue
only, then it will be manifest that the
fi%fty-tbird congress, whatever the appel
lations or the %pretences of its members
in the two houses, is not control led by
the democracy.

Two StalWartS.

"JOe" Blackburn loves dogs as well as
horses, and so did Senator Kenna. When
the latter was alive, says the New York
Tribune. there We're some warm cOntro-
versies between them as to the merits OF
their respective favorites. Each owned
a fine pointer, and the senate cloakroOm
was the scene of many Il forensic argu-
ment on the subject of dogs. Mr.. Kenna
once said TO Mr.. Blackburn, lighting a
fresh cigar /: Joe, you may talk as you
like about yOur dog, but mine won't &C
out with me when the cartridges don't
fit my gun"
An audible smile went round the
room, and everybody thought well.
for once, Joe Blackburn has been beaten
at his WI game"
The junior senator from Kentucky,
however, was equal to the occasion. He
looked at Kenna for a moment, and then
replied quietly
"WelI, Kenna, | acknowledge that
your dog exhibits an intelligence almost
akin to reason, but | don't mind back
ing mine against him. l was in the
fields one day with that dog, and a man
| was not acquainted with came along
near us. My dog pointed at him. |
called at that dog, but nothing would
induce him to move. So | went up to
the stranger, and, Sir said |, would
you oblige me with your name?'"
Certainly, replied the stranger, my
name is Partridge
Without another word Kenna took
Blackburn'S arm, and both disappeared
in the direction of the senate restaurant.

A LAUDABLE EXCEPTION.

The exceptions to Mr.. Cleveland S
rule to appoint no ex-office holder to an
old position will doubtless be numerous
The president might we'll suspend IL III
the case of one leading citizen OF MIS-
souri,, Hon. j. L. Child, former minister
to Siam. He was an able and popular
representative of his government
While attending to every duty promptly
he foupd time to study and make MN
self familiar with the government oil the
country tn which he was accredited
and gave to his own conntrymeh' III
book form, his impressions OF slahl' It's
naonle their religion, customs and
habits. This work is valuable and en-
Pertaining from beginning to end, as all
who have read it will testify.
Recognizing Col. Child's peculiar
qualifications for the post he formerly
filed in the diplomatic service, the press
and people of Missouri, without regard
to party utilization, have endorsed HIM
for re-appointment. 1t was supposed
the whole congressional delegation
would favor him, but it is rumored that
Senator Vest will oppose him and seek
to have one Thomas J. Delaney, OF
Springfield, sent to Siam. If all is true
that has been published concerning the
character and habits of MI. Delaney, he
would not be a fit representative of this
republic to any court in Christendom

WHERE TO STRIKE.

One of the best moves Lexington
could make would be to:
Improve the wagon road running east
to Dover and Waverly;
Improve the road running southeast
to Page City and Higginsville;
Improve the road connecting us with
MAYHEM;
Improve the road running toward
Columbus;
Improve the road to Wellington and
Napoleon;
Make it easier for the farmers to come
to Lexington than to go to any other
town;
Make 1t more profitable for farmers to
come here and trade than to go to any
other town;
Make it to everybody's advantage to
come to Lexington-then advertise your
wares in the INTELLIGENCER and Lex
ington will grow and grow fast.

Lewis and Clark's Expedition Agar

NEW Y~oRK.-Seeing your recent ar
ticle on the Lewis and Clark Expedition
l thought that your readers might be
interested in hearing a few further par
~ticulars regarding Prof. Cones re-
searches into the inside history of this
memorable undertaking, as now for the
first time revealed by the discovery and
study of the original manuscripts of the
famous explorers.
saw Prof. Coues in Washington re-
Gently, and he enthusiastically spoke of
his work upon the new edition in the
light of the important and unexpected
sources of information in his possession.
lie said THAT though the Biddle his
tory was a noble performance for the
times in which the original edition was
prepared, it was entirely inadequate to
the requirements of contemporaneous
criticism. The manuscript material
upon which Mr.. Biddle worked was so
far from being exhausted, that no one
as yet suspects what a mine of wealth
these precious manuscripts have proved
to be. The published work was never
indexed and none but special students
knew even what these volumes con-
tanned. Yet there has proved to be
nearly twice as much matter in the
manuscripts as has ever yet seer the
light. Guided by these he has been able
to clear up almost every one of the
hitherto doubtful or puZZling points of
the journey, and make absolute identifi-
cation of almost every locality, however
obscure, that the travellers speak of. He
insists that Lewis and Clark were the
first discovers and manners of hundreds
of rivers, creeks, lakes, mountains
passes, and other geographical points,
geographers, when identified, to the ex-
clusiOn of modern names, He intends
to lay this matter before the National
Geographical society, Of which he is a
member, and endeavor to secure the
necessary legislation on the subject.
This will be little short of a geographi-
| cal revolution, but it must come and the
sooner it is ovcr and done with the bet
| ter"
In all scientific points, as in ethnology,
zoology, and botany, DR.. Coues finds
much new material, on which to base
the identifications of Indian tribes, ami
mails and plants by their modern techni-
cal names. Lewis and Clark were the
discoveries and DISORDERS of hundreds
of objects of natural history for which
they have never before had proper
| credit.
Prof. Coues in writing his critical
commentary to the original text, i'll the
form of copious foot notes, has brought
to bear and embodied all the results OF
his Investigations. lie is developing
many novelties as the work progresses
and the book is sure to makes sensation
| upon its appearance.
All the old editions have for many
years been unobtainable, and a new and
complete edition, including so much I'M
portant new matter and bringing the
whole subject up to date, is a most ac-
ceptable addition to the historical litera-
ture of our country. The new edition
will be a limited II and will be pub
lished by Francis p. Harper, New York.
Its appearance is looked for this spring.
