The rains of the last two or three
days nave done some damage to grow
ing crops, but it is insignificant in
comparison with the benefit.
Corn, oats, hay and pastures in Mis-
souri, and ILLINOIS have been greatly
benefited, and as much may be said
for spring wheat.
Iowa is going to have good crops of
all kinds this year unless conditions
change considerably. Her wheat crop
will not be up to that she harvested
last year, but all others are looking
well. 1t will be remembered that Iowa
suffered greatly from drought last
summer and that all her crops except
wheat were considerably below the
average,
just south of Missouri, Arkansas
promises to harvest a good crop of
wheat, corn, cotton, hay, oats, fruits
and vegetables. Kansas is going to dc
much better than she has been doing
in the crop line the last few years,
and the same may be said of Ne
braska. Texas can be counted on al
usual for a big yield of all the great
agricultural staples. The outlook fol
the entire Mississippi Valley is much
better than it was in June last year.

LADDONIA ITEMS.

Correspondence of the Ledger.
LADDoNIA, June 1s.-Mr. Jay Coats
worth, who has been spending e few
days with his brother, E. R. Coats
worth, returned home this morning.
Laddonia was well represented al
the Christian Endeavor at Centralia,
About fifteen delegates attended from
here. Elder Coggins will attend the
meeting of the Endeavor at Boston in
I.Iy, and wil-also visit. his -mothar.
who resides in North Carolina.
Mrs. G. A. Wilder, Mrs. J. FL. Con-
nell and Mrs. James Poor went to hear
Sam Jones lecture in Mexico. From
listening to him we concluded it is
hard to keep up the reputation of be-
ing a funny man. The lessons of many
of his rough comparisons are lost to his
hearers ON account of the wit that is
in them. They laugh at the wit and
fail to see the point. We doubt if his
lectures and sermons have as lasting
an influence over the people as a
Beecher, a Sturgeon, a Colyer or a
Simpson, because the people laugh at
the fun and fail to see the truth.
The Laddonians r preparing for a
big celebration on the Fourth. With
plenty of a rain and a good oats har-
vest we can celebrate better than ever
before.

The nollar of MeYino

From the Philadelphia Record tDem.)
The Mexican dollar is quoted in New
York at 53c. Senior Romero, the Mex
lean Minister at Washington, says it is
"puZzling'' to American travellers in
his country to find that a standard sill
yer dollar of the United States is
worth there two Mexican dollars.
What makes the enigma still more
obscure is the fact that the Mexican
dollar contains more pure silver than
does the American dollar.
Of course, there is nothing in this
monetary puzzle of Senior Romero to
one who thinks a moment. The Mex
lean Government does not presume
to redeem its silver dollars in gold at
their nominal worth. The standard
dollars of the United States, on the
other hand, are in effect mere tokens
carrying the pledge of the Govern
ment to redeem them in gold. But
for-th~ir~ oornpulsorx-les.i@eo
quality and the Government promise
to redeem them in gold the American
dollars would be worth less than the
Mexican dollars, because they have
less pure metal in them.
Let the minis of the United States
be thrown open then to the free COIN
age of silver dollars, and the obvious
consequences would be the inability
of the Government to redeem them in
gold. The condition would become
precisely similar to that which exists
in Mexico. The gold would disappear
from circulation, and the currency
would drop to the cheap silver stand
ard. But Mexico was brought to this
condition by her poverty; and her
poverty keeps her in it. 1t is pro-
posed that this great and wealthy
country, on the other hand, should
deliberately, and with eyes open,
adopt a monetary system into which
poor nations have gradually fallen,
and from which they cannot now es-
cape.
The first effect of the Mexican pol
icy of free silver coinage would be the
financial revolution that would in
volve the ruthless c~onfiscation of half
the savings of labor in the United
| States. A Government capable of
such an act would be no better than a
Government of pirates. Had the
pirates who infested the Spanish Main
in the seventeenth century organized
a Government for promoting the
general welfare" they would have
been ashamed of such a measure of
reputation and folly. For the reason
that free silver coinage would be not
| only disastrous but dishonest, the
Government and people of the United
| States will never consent to clothe so
| gigantic an iniquity with the forms
of law. Free silver coinage, which
means nothing else than a debasement
of the currency such as was freqently
practiced by needy and greedy princes
upon their poor subjects in the federal
ages, would make the United States
Government a by-word of shame
among the civilized nations.

Correspondence of the Ledger.
BEAN CREEK, Mo-, June 1s.-Good
health on Bean Greek at present.
Wheat is most all cut, but of a light
quality. The chinch bugs are now
depredating on u corn crop and
oats, and the prospect for a crop of
any kind now is slim.
A suit will probably be brought up
from Bean Creek soon for forgery, but
as it will be aired in the courts we
won't make any comments.
VIII Kysar, without the assistance
of ex-Sheriff Adams, succeeded in

he will not wear them.
What a blessing to any one Is his
home paper. In looking over the
LEDGER recently we found out that
r. j. Armstrong was a director of this
district. For further information we
will add that associated with him Ia
| Col. John T. Robinson and Major Joe
G.. Ware and in their selection of Miss
| Ollie Allen as our teacher they have
| made no mistake and reflected the
| wishes of the entire district. Miss
| Ollie taught her first school here and
gave spiendid satisfaction.
