lar"
Just before silver was demonetized,
only twenty years ago-a bushel of
Minnesota wheat paid one dollar Of
debt. Now, under the "honest dol
lar' policy, it takes over two dollars
to pay the same amount of debt. In
other words, the purchasing power of
this "honest dollar" has been doubled,
while the purchasing power Of the
bushel Of wheat, is only one half what
it was when congress struck down
silver. The two old parties are gov
erned by three things monopoly,
the money-power, and the liquor traf-
tic,-and yet voters, actuated by par
tisan prejudice, election after cleo
tion, 60 to the polls and there by
their ballots perpetuate these evils,
which are frightful menace to the
peace, happiness, and prosperity of
Dinety-nine out of every hundred
homes in the land. Good citizens
must lay aside their prejudices and
stand together at the ballot box
against these evils, or at no very dis
tant day, this nation will 90 down
and out into utter darkness, lost for
ever, under the crushing weight of
it's own sins.
Very truly yours,

Gen. j. B. Weaver, of Iowa, in which
he advocates combination of all Ia

The above clipping from some of
your exchanges which appeared in
the REPRESENTATIVE Of the 18th
inst, does not state the facts, and
therefore will have a tendency to
mislead your readers-a result I am
sure you do not desire. never wrote
any such letter to Gen. Weaver, or
anybody else. But I did write to Gen.
Weaver urging the calling of silver
convention at Chicago, to be COM
posed of men and women, without
regard to political atfiliation, who
were in favor of "free coinage"
Such a convention was held. [ was a
member of it; it contained men and
women of all political parties, and I
trust accomplished much good.
While I believe that our tariff sys-
tenn is simply legalized robbery of
the many to enrich few and that
our financial system is rapidly max
ing Of this country a nation of ten
ants, to be ruled by few money
kings, I am more than ever convinced
that the 2,450,O0O legalized retail liq-
uor houses constitute the greatest
robber ever known, and that no un-
ion of reform forces can ever tri-
umph that lacks the courage to in
clude this curse among the other gil
ant evils that should be blOtted out
forever.
When the purchasing clause of the
Sherman bill was repealed, we were
told that it would "restore conf
dence," and that good times, (some-
thing we have not had for ten years.,
would Immediately follow. But the
good times" didn't come. Then the
people we're assured that the hard
times arose from a fear that the dem
ocrats would NEEDLE with the tariff,
and that if Mckinley came out victo-
rious, the laboring man would have
plenty to do, and all would be we'll.

The American people are easily hum

In 1888 the political clad" used to

A Too Fresh" Conductor.

"Where are you going, auntyP'' asked conductor on one of the in- coming trains Saturday, of an elderly lady passenger.
 The lady looked at him indignantly and the conductor stammered out: You know that we always call elderly ladies 'aunty' out here"
 'If you do," said the lady, severely, you are very ill-bred and the railway company ought to employ men who know better"
 The conductor retired in bad order and it was the conviction of those who heard the colloquy that he had been very properly sat upon. Detroit Free Press.

FRUITFUL IMPROVEMENT.
How It Pays to Change Country Places
 from ChaOs to Charm.

l ifo" to
 Thrice worthy he who beautifies his home and farm for the sake of self, of family, of neighborhood and of the passing stranger. Few realize the ef- feet of symmetry and beauty in nature on the life of individual and community, unless by travel they have had oppor- tunity for comparison, or have noted the good work accomplished in towns morals indirectly by application of the laws of order, neatness and ornament It may be a village improvement asso- citation was organized; perhaps one man from an advanced quarter of the globe bought place and beautified it, or a resident awoke to the prevailing depravity and ordered himself to arise and enjoy the glorious things a wise Creator has put within reach. Some where a beginning was made in chang ing places once chaos into present charm, the same as in forming char acter strong in rectitude. 1t may be that the reader is the one person on whom the destiny 0f his town depends. Though perhaps living in ungrateful desolation, he may make beginning, however small With unfaltering de- tcrmination as the months pass, the man of enterprise will gradually emerge as leader of reform or an in- citing element toit. Nor are public i'm proyymcut and the enhancement of values in property which 1t naturally prcccdcs, together with heightened ethics, the only goal. There is more than possibility, yes, strong probabil- ity, that the fortune and consequent comforts of the refined creator of em- bellishments may increase.
 Has anyone failed to note the modern tendency of the wealthy in commercial centers toward rural ownership of real estate? The movement is of compara- lively recent origin, yet in the few years past note the increase in volume and it's effects in many places. Yet who ever saw a-city man buy in a neg lccted, disorderly locality, reached by bad roads, much less a rundown farm half hidden by brush, weeds, rubbish and general ugliness? Having sold to advantage, the individual of taste and improvement can in less than decade repeat the process by investing in the same vicinity. After a beginning, sue ccedmg sales will be less difficult, until a genuine demand is established. Once an urban family or two become owners their wealth and influence will be added to the momentum of progress. Leaving uuspoken any sentence rela- tive to the refinement and culture these persons may infuse, has the presence of such, with a desire for the good things of life and means to pay for them, proved detrimental to producers in any community? l am acquainted with many whose weekly supply of brollers, butter, eggs, spring lamb, canned and preserved fruits, etc, is ob. tatned through the winter from farm. CTS among whom the warm season is delightfully."- passed. That material recompensc shall follow ia the orbit of improvement is an unalterable law of nature. --lIollister Sage, in N r. Trib- une.

Keep the Cows Clean and They Will Re-
 turn Goodly Yield.
 As soon as the cows are turned out remove the excremcnts and scrape the floor until it is perfectly clean, and leave it without litter until just before the cows or cattle are to be tied up for the night. The floor will dry quicker if left uncovered than otherwise, and then there will be no danger of litter being frozen down. When the stable cleaning Is not well performed particles of manure become frozen to the floor as solid as stone and are constant an noyance until warm weather comes Like the rolling of snow ba |, more and more becomes added to the Instructions upon the floor, until the animals have to lie upon rough surface, and double the time spent every morning in trying to clear out the impedIments that is or dinarily required to do the work of stable cleaning complete Before the stock is returned give the floor q good coating of cut straw, chaT or some thing of the kind. This wIll prevent the animals from slipping and also keep the droppings from coming in di- rect contact with the floor. so as to freeze down. Where manure becomes frozen down, as it will sometimes in extreme cold weather, in spite of the precautions used, take an old ax and remove it at once and apply double amount of bedding until there is change in the weather As a rule, never neglect the stables, for the least work is required when every morning the labor is performed in the best pos Siblp manner -FDrunrG' NDina

A DOSE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE.

Mr. Bailey Has the Point OF No Quorum
Turned Upon Him.
Mr.. Bailey of Texas had to take q dose of his
own medicine today.
Mr.. Bailey didn't like it, but the House was
amused. and somebody said, what is sauce for
the goose is sauce for the gander.''
In the first place. Mr.. Bailey is q great stick
Ter for the Constitution. He has upon numer-
Gus occasions during the daily meetings Of the
House, in the early hour Of the day,
when members had not vet arrived
in full numbers, called the attention
Of members to the fact that q quorum was not
present, as the Constitution provides. which
would prevent the consideration BY unanimous
consent of bills at that time presented His
objection, Of course, served to cut off further
consideration and Mr.. Bailey was not beloved
therefor.
Today Mr. Bailey had little bill 1t related
to railroad in Texas. and Mr.. Bailey wanted
it considered and passed.
Mr.. Buchanan of New Jersey, in q tone Of
conspicuous Difference and consideration.
asked for an explanation Of the bill. Mr. Bailey
was only too glad to oblige the gentleman and
related its merits, while Mr.. Buchanan bowed
acquiescence to each sentence.
MIR. Bailey was progressing famously and
could in his minds eye almost see the bill
passed
81 would further like to ask the gentleman
from Texas, said Mr.. Buchanan in . most in
nocent tone, ''if, before asking the House to
pass this bill, he is satis6ed that . quorum il
present."
And Mr.. Bailey sst down with Q dull thud,
while the House laughed. Mr.. buchanan did
not object to the bill, however, and IL was
passed.

Cleveland Trying to Break Up the Orxani-
zation I'm That State.
The friends Of Mr.. Hill who are outside of
New York politics are greatly concerned about
the reports that Mr.. Cleveland is making head
way in q fight to break up the democratic
machine and they are making great many
anxious inquiries OF the New York men
Hills New York friends speak contemptuously
Of the fight on the machine. They admit that
there is some trouble with certain men in the
legislature, which endangers legislation which
the machine wants. They say. however, that
they think they can straighten that out, and that
if they do not. it is insignificant. The regular
democratic organization in New York, they
declare, cannot be seriously hurt BY Mr.. Cleve-
land.
One Of Mr.. Hills closest friends said TODAY
that there was no doubt that Mr. Glove

democratic organization in New York and that
he would probably do all in his power 10
