St. John TO Weaver,

The following letter indicates the dis
position Of prominent men Of different
political convictions to get together
under one banner at this critical time:
"DEAR GENERAL:-The time that has
been coming is now here for every lover
of home and country and honest money
to stand shoulder to shoulder against the
oppressive powers Of Wall street. Ever
since the demonetizstion Of silver in
1873, this country has been rapidly drift
ing into q moneyed sristOcracy. Both
the democratic and republican parties
have helped along the schemes Of the
money power, until to-day it has the
great body of the people by the throat,
and unless q united, prompt and desper-
ate effort is made to release it's hold, the
system sf legalized robbery will be con-
tinued until the masses will be driven
into bankruptcy, which will finally end
in worse slavery, if possible, than that
which held the black man in chains.
Any system which discriminstes in favor
Of any one class Of government money
against any other class, is legalized rob-
berry, and ought to be branded as such
by the people. We have reached the
point when men must determine whether
they will rally under the banner Of Wall
street, or stand by and with the people.
"There is no longer any compromise
grounds to be occupied by any one.
Voters must take their positions on one
side or the other. In my judgment there
should be a convention held in Chicago
not later than August l, TO which should
be invited large number Of representa-
tive men and women, without regard to
former political affiliations, but who are
in favor Of the free and unlimited com
age Of gold and silver, and the equality

Grasses of all kinds and all forage
crops have shown marked improvement

Chinoh bugs-Chlnch bugs are re-
ported plentiful in nearly all portions Of
the eastern half Of the state. In many
counties the wheat crop has been seri-
ously shortened by them. AS the wheat
has been harvested the bugs have gone
into the adjacent corn. Whether much
or little damage will be done to corn and
other crops depends on the rainfall.
With plenty Of rain probably but little
damage will be done.
Rainfall-In all the counties of the
eastern division Of the state, rains are
reported abundant; in some, excessive.
In the central division plentiful supply
of rain came the last week Of June; also,
in general way, in the western division;
and if conditions from this on continue
favorable, corn, potatoes and forage
crops Of all kinds will be abundant in all
portions Of the state, and with the
largely increased area planted to corn in
districts where wheat failed, the state
may in large part make up for the short
wheat crop.

KANSAS CROPS

July 4:
The agricultural conditions, in gen.
ersl way, as reports from correspondents
of this board show, have been improved
considerably throughout the state dur
ing the month of June. In the central
and western sections of the state this
improvement came, however, only in the
last week Of the month. Abundant rains
have fallen in the central and many of
the western counties of the state. These
rains have greatly improved the condi-
tion Of corn, potatoes, and all kinds OF
forage crops as well as pastures.
Winter wheat From the estimate, re-
ported by correspondents, OF the area Of
wheat which will be harvested, the yield
per acre, quality, etc., we find no i'm
provement in the probable final outcome
Of the wheat crop in Kansas over that
reported one month ago. In nearly all
the eastern, and especially in southeast
ern counties, where the wheat prospects
have been best, the wheat is reported
much damaged in quality by rust and
chinch bugs, and in some places by ex-
cessive rains. In the eastern belt, Atchi-
son, Jefferson, Cofey, Linn and Miami
counties report quality good. All other
counties report more or less damage in
quality. In the central and western
belts, where there is wheat, it is reported
only medium in quality. Whether the
inferior quality of the wheat will reduce
the estimate Of the total product for the
state as reported cannot be known un-
til considerable portion of the crop has
been threshed.
The following is the estimate Of the
total wheat product for the state made
on the conditions existing June 30, also
given by belts: Total area sown to wheat
in the fall of 1892, as reported by as
SCISSORS, 4,543334 acres. Total area re-
ported bV correspondents worth har-
vesting, 2,327,724 acres. Average yield
per acre reported on area worth harvest
ing, 94 bushels, being total winter
wheat product of 22,3O6,6O5 bushels. By
belts as follows:
Eastern belt-Aversge yield per acre
on area worth harvesting, 1874 bushels.
Product, 8,447,778 bushels.
Central belt-Eight bushels per acre
on area worth harvesting, Product, 49,
057,672 bushels.
Western belt-Six bushels per acre on
area worth harvesting. Product, 377,-
070 bushels.
The harvest is reported from one week
to ten days late. In the southern coun-
ties, the wheat harvest isreported for the
most part completed June 80. In the
central counties, about half completed,
and in the northerp counties, fairly COM
menced.
Spring whest-The area sown to spring
wheat in the state, as reported by as
SCISSORS, is 2Ol, ,412 acres. In the eastern
belt nearly all is reported worth harvest
ing. In the central and western belts
less than half. Average yield per acre
on area worth harvesting, ten bushels,
making total spring wheat product for
the state of 1,05O,OOO bushels.
Rye-Aversge yield per acre Of rye, as
reported for the state, is ten bushels.
This, on the area reported by assessors,
241, ,765 acres, gives total rye product

THE KoUSrz BROTHERS.
Among the richest bankers in the
United States are the Kountz Brothers.
They have banks In New York, Omaha
and here, and their operations extend
to all parts Of the United States. They
come, think, from eastern Ohio origin
ally, and they were brought up on
farm, where their father had located
when he landed IN this country from
SaNony. Afera time the father opened
a store, think, in Canton, Ohio. The
boys were given a good education; they
were taken into partnership, and soon
as they were grown up were given a
small capital and allowed to start out
for themselves. They began their bank
ing business In Omaha some time prior
to the war, aud they opened bank here
in 1869 as a branch Of the Omaha house.
Charley kountz Is now the head Of the
Denver Bank, aud he is one Of the
richest men In Colorado lie has

Brown, who began life here as a carpcn.
ter and who worked for years at regular
days wages. He managed to save
enough money to buy tract Of 100
acres OF land on the cactus hill near the
village OF Denver, and he paid the
government for this st.gs per acre. The
land had no water and the people all
laughed at his folly. too. Denver grad
ually grew and Browns land became
valuable. For years II was all he could
do to pay the taxes, and he was advised
to sell. lie preferred to starve and hold
on. Then the Leadville boom came
and money flowed into Colorado. Den.
yer prospered, and II soon surrounded
his farm. Ten acres Of II was bought for
the capitol building and the rest was cut
up into town lots, and upon these the
finest houses OF Denver are built. The
result was that Brown made a fortune,
and he put something like a million
dollars Of Il into this hotel. II has been
