MONEY QUESTION LEADS.
Statement of New Party Issues by
the American Bimeta11ic League.

Statement OF New Party issues by
the American Bimetal1ic League.
The following has been issued by the
American Bimetallic League:
A statement of the issues on which the
new party will organize.
The money question is now indisputably
the dominant issue in the United States
and Will remain so until settled. and set
tied rightly. Other questions. however
important, must wait for this, which 10
greater or less extent involves all others.
The issue is between the gold standard.
gold bonds ana bank currency on the one
side, and the bimetallic standard. no bonds
and government currency on the other.
First-On this issue we declare our
selves TO be unalterably opposed 10 the
single gold standard and demand she inn
mediate return TO the constitutional stand
ard of gold and silver, by the restoration
by this Government, independently of any
foreign power, of the unrestricted COMA &c
of both silver and gold into standard
money, ut the ratio of IL to 1. and upon
terms of exact equality; the silver coin
TO be full legal tender, equal with gold,
for all debts and dues, public and private.
Second-We hold that the power to con
troll and regulate 4 paper currency is in
separabe from the power To coin money,
and that all currency intended TO circu-
late as money should be issued and the
volume controlled by the general Govern
ment only and should be legal tender.
Third-We are unaterably opposed TO
tha issue by the United States Of interest
bearing bonds in time Of peace, and de-
lo II, 10 a
of the United States as provided by exist
Ing laws in either gold or silver cora. at
the option Of the Government and tot at
the option Of the creditor. On this issue
we appeal from the dictation of the money
power TO the intelligence and patriotism
Of the American people.
Then follows long address TO the peo-
pie of the United States.

A SCAR SAVED HIS LIFE.
A Young Man Is Nearly Hanged for
Anot!ier'S Criine.


Waiter Bryant. a young man with a
broad scar on his forehead and another
on his arm. has just been released from
the Jail in St. Joseph. No. Few men
have come nearer to being hanged for
crime OF which they were not guilty than
Bryant. and he owes his escape from the
galiows ID a scar. y week or so go Bry-
ant was arrested in Springfield on suspi-
cion of being Thomas Harris. wanted for
the murder Of John Mcdowell seven years
ago. Il was in vain that the young man
declared that he was not Harris, who had
escaped from prison while under sentence
of death. Several men who knew Harris
went To the jail and positively identified
Bryant as the man who was wanted, but
Bryant did not lose hope until Harris 8
father came and said he was his son. Bry
ant told the authorities that his parents
and brother lived at Santa Rosa. Cal,
but there came no answer from the adj
dress be gave. He declared that he had
been arrested before on the same charge
once at Sheridan. Wyo.. and once at Lit
tie Rock, Ark. but he had forgotten thu
name OF the sheriff from Atchison Coun-
t. who had gone after him and found that
bered the year, however. and described
the sheriff. William Turner, who lives
in Red Willow County. Ncb, was sheriff
Of the county a. that time, and he came
to ST. Joseph to save the young man 5 life.
Turner recognized the prisoner at once
and said lie was not the murderer of
Mcdowell
Bryant's statement that he has been
twice arrested before this time on account
of his resemblance to the fugitive was
confirmed by the cx-sheriff. When Tur.
ner came he brought with him minute
description OF Harris. made while the
murderer WAS q prisoner in his charge,
and called attention to a scar on the left
ankle, which could not be found on Bry-
ant. He said the resemblance between
the two men was perfect, with this ex.
ceptiOn. The absence Of that scar on the
ankle has probably been the means of
saving Bryant from being executed for
another mans crime.

Measuring an Acre,

Few farmers know the size Of their
fields or how many acres they contain.
Ii is desra ble-in fact, Indispensable
for good work that farmer should
know this. Good cotton cord, the size
of IL piow line, should be kept for this
purpose. To make one. buy SiXty-scyen
feet Of cotton rope, one inch round,
fastcn a ring ut each end. and make
these rings precisely siXty-six feet
apart This is four rods. Tie piece
of red rag in the center.
Oneacre of ground will be a piece four
of these cords long and two and 4 half
wide. equal To 1Gx1O rods, making 1GO
square rods to an acre. The advantage
OF the rings Is that one person can
measure by driving q stake in the
ground to hold the rope while he
stretches il out. The rope should be
soaked in tar and then dried. This will
prevent its shrinking.
Last year q neighbOr of the writer
had heavy SOD plowed by contract ut
$50 per acre. Three persons stepped
II off. One said il was four acres; an
other made il Il little over five. and the
third said il was three and half acres.
The contractor sent over anu got this
rope. and all five men measured it. and
u was found TO be just three and a
half acres. He had paid to have the
grass cut of il for three years at 81 per
acre. or 50 each season. counting it to
he five acres in extent, thus losing 81 90

Dry Rot in Timber.
A correspondent of the Country Gen
tlcman questions the correctness of
Prof Brewers recent assertion that
"pOStS set top end down last longer
than those set butt end down." He
says he once built Il fence, and set a
number of marked posts top end down.
After twenty years the fence was built
over and the marked posts were de-
caycd the same us the others. He also
doubts Prof. Brewers statement that
'.dry rot is caused by q fungus which
begins on the surface, pushes the
threads of its spawn into the pores, and
in time they ramify through the mass
The writer says that may be the kind
of dry rot they have i'm Connecticut, but

Profitable Farm Stock.
