which would accommodate the holders of
the highest priced tickets. In the absence
OF seats the great mass of spectators would
be compelled to locate themselves on the
ledges of the mountain with which the
ring is surrounded on three sides.
Corbett and Brady, accompanied by
Attorney-General Trustworthy and Colonel
Martin, will leave for Little Rock at 7
O'Clock tomorrow morning and surrender
themselves before the Chancellor for a
hearing on warrants issued at the instance
of the Attorney General and the informa-
ton attached, which sets forth that the
fight in which the men proposed to engage
may result in the killing of one or the
other. Brady finally succumbed this after
noon to the argument of Colonel Martin
that this would be the best course to pur-
sue, and that it would make the prospects
of settling the championship contest
brighter than they are at present. The
lawyers position has already been out
lined in the United Press dispatches, and
is in brief that having given bonds in Pu-

up if both managers are willing for the
men to meet on Tuesday.

the frontier of Venezuela. This afternoon
a correspondent saw President CAIRO, who,
In referring to the Anglo-Venezuelan
trouble. said that it behooves all Latin
American countries to stand united against
European aggressions, which are becoming
too frequent. He said that there was
every reason to believe that the United
States will not allow England to oppress
Venezuela, for the Monroe doctrine is very
clear in the present case.
He said that Colombia was not alone in
siding with Venezuela, but others had al
ready promised to help.

THE PANIC CONTINUES.

According to R G. Dun & Co., mer-
camille agents, the liabilities of the
business firms failing in October
amounted to SIC, 179 $50 against $40,
n, Alb in October last year. Daring
the first week in November the failures
amounted to $50 against 261 for the
same week last year.
This is a decided increase in liabili
ties and number of firms making
assignments and is conclusive proof
that prosperity has not returned, y
and that it is not returning" There
is no getting around these cold facts,
unpleasant as they are. We wish the
contrary we're true.
When the goldbug papers and pro,
fessional prosperity howlers tell you
that good times have returned or that
times r getting better in spite of the
calamity howlers," and similar rot,
hurl these figures back into their teeth.
When goldbug papers tell you that
THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER is bowling
calamity just to get your patronage
that it is not sincere in it's protesta,
tions, just draw these figures on them
and prove that they are the falsifyers,
and you can safely assert that THE
PROGRESSIVE FARMER is not now and
has never knowingly misrepresented
the facts in any particular. The editor
or anybody else who asserts that bust
ness is getting better is simply telling
a falsehood, and knows it is a false,
hood.

ACTUAL AMOUNT OF MONEY IN
CIRCULATION.

At Fayette, Mo, recently Senator
Vest, Democrat, made a speech in
which he gave some startling facts
about the amount of money in circula-
ton. True, he said nothing that will
astonish those who are posted-those
who read reform papers-but there is
a great deal in the speech for the aver
age mossback to digest, and it comes
from one of the highest authorities in
the country. He said in part:
I'VE are told now, by these distin.
guished apostles of the single gold
standard, that this country has too
much money; and that there is to day
in circulation among the people of the
United States $25 OF for every man,
woman and child in the country. On,

mere a compilation which l have made
from the official reports of the Treas,
ury Department, issued in 1893 by the
Secretary of the Treasury, showing
how this estimate is arrived at. On
July 1, 1898, the Secretary of the
Treasury in his report, gave the
amount of money in circulation as
81 323. SAT, 977. On examination i5 was
found that in this statement an error
had occurred by reason of counting
both the gold and silver in the Treas
ury and the outstanding certificates
which represented them. Another
statement was then made, showing the
amount of money in circulation to be

DECLINE IN PRICE OF AGRICUL-
TURAL PRODUCTS.

Bradstreets' Commercial Agency
is run by men favorable to the gold
standard, but they are pretty accurate
in statistics, and you may depend on
it that they are not doing any unnec
essary calamity bowling. We repro
duce a portion of an article recently
published in the Philadelphia Amer
lean, which is based on Bradstreets'
figures, and also the Americans truth
full editorial comment and defense Of
the agricultural classes and the utter
impossibility to become prosperous
under present conditions:
"Prices of breadstuff, wheat, corn,
oats, barley, rye and -four, as given by
Bradstreets', were without exception
lower on October 1st than July 1st,
and with the exception of wheat and
-four lower on October 1st than on Jan
uary 1st. The picture shown by live
stock, steers, sheep, hogs and horses is
not different. Horses alone were of
greater value on October LIST than on
the first of the year.
with prices of b%readstuff 38 per
cent. lower on the average than on
January 1st, 1891, a period itself of
low prices, and 10 per cent. lower than
on January 1st, 1895; with live stock
showing a general fall in value of 81
per cent. since July 1st, last, wiping
out the advance of the spring and sum
mer, and 6 per cent. besides the farmer
has little ground for encouragement.
The much spoken of period of rising
prices has not materializ9d for him.
ITO those who care for detail we
present the following table of index
numbers based or quotations given by
B~radstreets. The index numbers are
based on prices ruling January 1st,
1891, and show a rise or fall in general
prices compared to those quoted on that
date. Under Broadstreets are included
wheat, CORD, oats, barley, ryeand -four,
and under live stock (steers), sheep,

"With prices for farm products
lower than ever before, the outlook for
our farmers is dismal enough. They
have worked harder than ever before,
struggling against ruin that is inevita,
bic, if prices continue to fall. Nature
has literally rewarded their efforts,
but they must sell the products of their
farms at prices so ruinously low that
the recompense of their labors is
smaller than ever.
1T is no wonder the farmers face
the future with despair, for instead of
enri3hing them, the harvest has i'm
.poverished them. Their crops have
cost more to raise than they can be
sold for, and there are many cases
where sufficient prices cannot be real
lied to pay the transportation charges
from distant farms to seaboaTd mar
kets, and corn and oats will be burned
where raised. Corn raised for food
will be used for fuel, and a Kansas
City milling company has the proposal
under consideration to substitute corn
for coal in the generation of steam.
Actual steam a be made in Kansas
cheaper with corn than coal, yet it is
possible, probable, that before the
winter is over, we will hear that coal
is piling up unused at the mines of
Pennsylvania and Ohio, and the min
ers suffering from the want of food.
The farmer is impoverished, but
little sympathy does he get in his dis
Jress. He is raled at as a chronic
complainer when, protesting against
low prices, he seeks a remedy. When
unable, through no fault of his own,
to pay interest on the mortgage that
covers his farm, or rent, if he is a
tenant farmer, ne is treated as a knave
and accused Of dishonesty, and when
he demands the restoration of silver to
it's place at money, he is contemptu-
ously spoken Of as an INSCRIPTIONS
debtor, DESTROYS of peeling down his
debts. All this the farmer has borne
s~toically and without complaint, but
the time has come when he owes 1t as
a duty to his country, his family and
himself, to make himself heard and his
power felG.
1.-THE country cannot prosper on the
impovishment of the agricultural
classes, and no revival of prosperity
can be real or lasting that is not shared
in by the farming classes. Our farm
ing classes have not shared in the much
heralded, but largely mythical revival
of prosperity, a revival of prosperity
much noted in newspaper columns, |
but little felt beyond. Such being the
case such revival as has been felt in
some lines of production can be but

AN REVIVAL.
1verv Organization, no matter how

Every organization, nc matter how
noble nor how grand, has it's
neriods of depression, Other affairs,
for the time being, claim the attention
of the membership. In the past two
ar three years a great many Alliance
neonle came to the conclusion that
voting for candidates representing
their views was a full performance OF
their duty, and the national and State
officers made but little effort to disbuee
their minds of the mistake. Another
class concluded that the Alliance was
in politics, and the enemies OF the
Order assisted in fixing this belief in
their minds, and being welded to their
party name, regardless of its prlncl-
pies, they pulled out.
Both classes of members are now be-
ginning to see their sad mistake. The
time is now ripe for a genuine Alliance
revival. 1t is bound to come, but IN
less the officers, State and national
county and Sub, writer's and speakers
do their full duty and put the Alliance
first. instead of making it of secon-
darv Importance, there will be much
unnecessary and dangerous delay.

fact that the only victories won in the

in Mississippi and Virginia, where the
party stood squareIy for silver. You
can put it in your pipe that the only

party was when the party was sup

that precludes the possibility of another
