THE ROOT OF OUR TROUBLES.


The single Gold STANDARD Is Producing All
the Mischief.
In discussing the labor agitations
the Chicago Times recently said that
the cause of our present social troubles,
which are world wide, was well ex-
pressed by Sir William II. Houlds-
worth, Bart, NJ p, at the bimetallic
conference in London the 18th of May
last, when he said:
ut is the currency question that lies
at the root of those social disturbances
and those difficult labor questions
which are so prominent feature Of
the present time and for which no real
solution can be found so long as this
deepening trade depression continues
to paralyze the energies of the nation.
The deadening and benumbing effects
of a continuous fall in prices must in
the long run Slowly insidiously and
silently, it may be, yetcertainly) reach
every class in the community from the
highest to the lowest. 1t is perfectly
idle to expect prosperity so long as
honest, industrious effort is weighted
by ever-increasing burdens and so long
as capital is driven away from indus.
trial enterprise"
The evils we are now suffering, says
the Times, have their origin in
the gold standard, and will continue
with increasing intensity so long as
their cause is suffered to remain. This
new policy was first entered upon by
the commercial nations in 1873, and
what we are now witnessing in this
and other countries are its legitimate
fruits. 1t Is arresting production and
compelling communities to subsist
upon the past accumulations of the
present and former generations. AS
only small part of this aggregated
wealth, even If it could be equally dis
tributed, is in a form to furnish us
with the necessaries of life, the portion
Of it available for that purpose will
soon be consumed. What then! Let
the bankers whose gold policy is ruin
ing their patrons, and the gold news
PAPERS, whose financial heresies are
wasting the country, think of this, and
let them be assured that men will not
starve and see their families starve and
say nothing about it.

FEEDING CORN STALKS.
The Best Way TO Give Them TO Stock IL
by Means OF Rack.

Tho Best Way TO Give Them TO Stock IL
by Means Of Rack.
My way of utilizing corn stalks for
feed is to begin cutting the corn as
soon as the stalks and lower half of
the blades begin to turn brown. II
cut too green the corn will be light In
grain although the stalks will make
better fodder What will be gained
in superior forage will be lost in the

rows one way and 10 steps the other.
With u strong rope, to one end Of
which is attached an iron ring, draw
the top of the shock together and Sc
curely tie with binding Irvine. If this
work is properly done they will stand
the winter. We pay for cutting 10
cents a shock, the price depending
somewhat upon the heaviness of the
corn.
In about q month after cutting, or at
most six weeks, the corn will be ready
for husling. If the farmer has plenty

THE LINCOLN BREED.
Valuable Variety OF Sheep but Little
Known In this Country

Valuable Variety OF Sheep but Little
Known In this Country.
AS the name shows, this breed origi-
mated in Lincolnshire, England. The
old native sheep was gaunt, raw
boned animal, capable of reaching an
enormous weight if plenty of food and
time were given it, The breed has
been greatly improved by crossing 1T
with the Leicesters. The size and
length of time required to mature have
been decreased, and the quality of the
flesh and wool greatly improved, SO
that to-day they rank as one of the
most promising of the long-wool
breeds.
The Lincolns are the heaviest bodied
sheep in existence. They have white
faces and legs, large heads, which are
free from wool at the forehead the
necks are of medium length, well set
on to deep shoulders, and the legs
long, firm and large boned. In the
Chicago exhibit there were two varie-

The loss of stock from impure water
is greater than is usually known. In
many cases the animals do not die but
lose condition and do not make weight
in satisfactory manner Where the
drinking water has green scum over
it it is not fit for drinking purposes for
any animal, and unless pure spring or
creek water is in plentiful supply it is
good economy to put down wells and
erect windmills. This may cost some
thing to begin with, but will save
money in tho end.

ties of this breed, representing the
two rival hocks of Lincolns in En-
gland. The one kind represented u
sheep with less style and set much
lower down than the other. Both at
tracted much favorable attention, but
the long-legged kind were generally
preferred and regarded as the ideal
Lincolns.
This breed is noted for producing the
heaviest feeces of combing wool, lus-
trous in character and showing sta
pie of from nine to fifteen inches in
length. In addition they are good
mutton sheep. They are healthy,
vigorous breed, but require plenty of
good food.

COUNTY TREAsURER's REVENGE.
Withdrew Funds from a California Bank
and Caused Failure.

MERGED, Cal, Oct. Is. = The Merced
Bank. which has been doing business since
1875, closed its doors this morning. The
failure is due to the banks inability to
realize on its securities. As yet no state
ment has been made, but it is known that
the bank had 100000 loaned to merchants
and ranchers of this community who were
unable to meet their obligations The con-
Germs statement to the State Bank Com
mission in July last gave the banks re-
serve as $243,029. The principal Of the
banks liabilities at that time were: Cap
ital paid in coin. $4,000; due depositors,
sl60,6S7; due other banks, $4,000 The d.
rectors Of the bank are all substantial busi-
ness men. 1t is believed the depositorS VIII
be paid in full and that the failure will
or the community.
While the failure Is undoubtedly due to
the general financial stringency. the imme-
date cause of the suspension is said to be
OF a political nature. For years Ii has been
customary for the county treasurer to place
the county funds in deposit with the three
banks of Merced. County Treasurer Bart
lett was defeated for denomination in the
recent Democratic county convention, and,
attriouting his defeat to the interference
of the officials of the Merced Bank, it is
alleged, he demanded the county funds de-
posted with the bank. Part of this money
was paid TO him. Other deposltors, learn
ing OK the action of the treasurer, with
run was started which the bank could not
meet This evening there Is a report that
the treasurer's bondsmen will compel him
to withdraw the many thousands or dollars
which he has on open deposit with the Com
mercial Savings Bank and the Security
Savings Bank.

HOUSTON, Tex, Oct. 16.-The worst fire
in the city's history broke out this morning,
and before it was under control not only
had large amount of property been de-
stroyed, but two Sisters of st. Joseph were
burned; two infirmary patients also per-

injured. The fire originated in the San
Jacinto Hotel, or rather boarding house,
Franklin and San Jacinto streets from
which the flames spread rapidly to adjoin-
ing small buildings of st. Joseph's Infirm-
ary, on Franklin, destroying also the large
three-story frame annex and then the new
four-story brick main building. The de-
struction of these buildings was accom-
panied by loss of life. Sisters Doleral and
Jane were burned beyond all possibility of
recognition, while Sister Clothilda was fear
fully burned about the face, back, breast
and arms. Her recovery Is in doubt
Two patients also missing, and there
is not the slightest doubt that they per-

UISTILLERS AT WAR.
To Crush Competition the Whisky Trust
Reduces the Price of Alcohol.

PEORIA, ILL.,, Oct. 16.-The Whisky Trust
to-day reduced the prices on alcohol cents
per gallon, equivalent to nearly cents
per wine gallon. This is regarded as the
beginning Of a war in prices between the
trust and it's competitors, which will eclipse
any previous war, and that goods will be
sold regardless of cost of manufacture.
When the trust abandoned its rebate sys-
tenn, two weeks ago. it was thought the
trade would rush in with orders. Instead
the antitrust houses secured the trade and
the trust, to hold its own, announces this
preliminary reduction. Antitrust houses.
notably the Atlas, in Peoria, and num-
ber in Terre Haute, have started up. while
at trust headquarters it is said none of the
trust houses will resume before Decem-
ber or January. The trust is heavily
stocked. and it costs cents per gallon a
month to carry the goods: The trust an
nounces this reduction below the cost of
manufacture under the increased tax to
hold its trade. If the trust carries out its
warlike intentions lively profitable times
for all but the trust and antitrust distil-
lerieS themselves are anticipated.
