Now, let Us supplement these facts
from the department Of agriculture
with q few facts from Dun's weekly
review Of February 16.
Wheat as 6O26 cents is not only lower by

year, but lower by 1874 cents Shsn IL hS q

ton declined an eighth with increasing dis
trust ON short crop estimates.
It will be observed that though
prices have fallen more rapidly 10 the
last year than formerly there has
been a gradual and steady decline
for the past twenty years. The
causes that have operated to produce
this result were set at work during
and Immediately after the war and
the elimination of their effects might
naturally be expected to be more
rapid as time advances. We now de-
sire to place in contrast with the
above another class of facts which
make a somewhat different showing.

rotten it is no more than might be
expected considering its source. Ifs
few POpulists have j Jined in to try and
give the chicken a decent bringingup
it is probably with the hope of being
able to give it character and respect
ability, and we have been waiting to
see what success would attend their
efforts. Although of suspicious Or
igin we do not wish to ruin its char
aCter prematurely by reflections upon
it's early associations if there is any
chance to improve the breed by q
cross. While it is not a Populist
chicken, therefore we shall not at
present undertake to interfere with
it's bringing up until we see further
what kind q bird it ls likely to make.
All we have to say about it now is
that the Peoples party is not respon-
sible for it. If the Capital will turn
its eagle eye towards the Omaha
platform, it will discover the genuine
doctrines OF the Peoples party, and
by confning it's attention to that
document when 1t wishes to indulge
in any criticism of our party it may
save the expenditure of great deal
Of superhuous wind.

COLD FACTS FOR FARMERS TO
THINK ABOUT,

The monthly reports OF the statisti-
clan Of the United States department
Of agriculture contain some informa-
ton that somehow fails to find a
place in the columns of the great
newspapers (D Of the country. Take
the following, for example, from the
report of December IL, 1893:
The statistical returns Of the department
Of agriculture for the month Of D Deoember
ars devoted principally TO the Indication Of
the average prices of the various products
Of the farm ct the points Of production or
in the nearest local markets.

THE GULF AND INTERSTATE RAIL-
ROAD.

The Capital is very anxious to
know our opinion of the Gulf and
Interstate railroad scheme, The Cap
ital in it's zeal to condemn everything
that any individual Populist may
have anything to do with as visionary
and unpractiCable, not unfrequentlY
makes itself extremely ridiculous.
This railroad scheme received it's
first Endorsement in the legislature of
South Dakota when both branches Of
that legislature were republican. It
resolved It's second Endorsement in
the legislature of Nebraska when
both branches Of that Legislature
were republican. The first call for a
convention to provide for the execu-
tion Of the scheme was made by the
republican governor of Nebraska,
and men of all parties participated in
that convention. The scheme was
hatched from a republican egg and
in a republican nest. II the egg Yves

This list might be Continued, but ID

This list might be continued, but it
is unnecessary. It is not difficult to
see who is feeding the COW and who
is getting the milk. These facts
show the conditions to which a
quarter of a century Of republican
rule has brought us; and when we
ask the Topeka Capital, the great
oracle of Kansas republicaniSm, what
remedy the republican party has to
propose for these conditions, it
frankly confesses that it has none
whateVer-thst the thing to do is to
keep a stiff upper lip and let nature
take her course"
Probably men who read nothing
but republican papers will acquiesce
in this remedy, but readers Of the

SUDDEN DEATH!
The Community Shocked,

Last evening, just after tea, while M.
respected citizen, apparently in the best of
health and spirits, was reading newspaper,
the sheet suddenly fell to the floor; he
placed one hand over his heart, gasped, and
sank back in his chair, evidently uncon-
scious. The family were stricken with con-
sternation, and Immediately summoned q
physician. But il was too late. The old
gentleman was dead. Physicians gave heart
disease as the cause."-Hoibrook Herald.
Every day the papers contain statements
similar to the above. Even youth is no de-
fense against heart disease, and the awful
rapidity with which it is claiming victims
forces upon all conviction of it's prevalence.
Reader, if you have symptom of this
dread disease do not hesitate moment in
attending to it. Delay is always dangerous,
and IN heart disease too often fatal. Some
symptoms of heart disease are shortness of
breath, futtering, or palpitation, pain OF
tenderness in left side, shoulder, or arm, ir.
regular pulse, smothering, weak or hungry
spells, fainting spells, dropsy, etc.

Sioux City Tribune:-The Republican
papers that are praising Senator Petit
CREWS spec ch so loudly, possibly have
less regard for the facts than desire to
puff the senator. Whatever may be
their feelings and motives certainly the
pnblic has preference for the truth
The senator said:
In 1866 there were $4,000 sheep in
South Dakota; to-day there are $4,000.
Stimulated and encouraged by the tariff
act OF 1890, onr people increased their
flocks and were prosperous, but the
blighting curse of Democratic victory
in 1892 DESTROYED two-thirds of their
property; and the sheep industry with
out protection mnst be abandoned in
South Dakota.
Mr.. Pettigrew appears to have a
wholesome disregard for statistics.
The secretary of agriculture, in his re-
port for 1891, page 3l6, gives the num-
ber Of sheep in South Dakota as 100000,
not 1885, 900, as Mr.. Pettigrew states, and
his report for 1892, page 4l3, places the
number at $4,000. Now. the senator
further says: "Ihe blighting curse
OF a Democratic victory in 1892 destroyed
two-thirds Of their property" Yet lie
claims "today there are $4,000" sheep in
South Dakota. That is, when the "blight-
ing curse" came in 1892. there were but
$4,000 sheep in South Dakota, under
that blighting curse in one year the
the number increased to $4,000, gain
Of 2l6,0O0, or almost 70 per cent, which
the speaker grandly assures the public
to have destroyed two-thirds OF their
property!"
