Some farmers who are renting
farms this year are in a gloomy condi-
tiOn. The only way some of them
can get seed wheat is to borrow it
and give one sixth Of the crop. They
must give the land owner his third
which together with the one sixth as
pay for seed wheat makes the total
amount given away one half Of his
crop. He must then pay for the cut
ting, threshing and all incidental ex-
penseS Of his crop out Of his one half,
and what will he have left? A farm
er putting in a fall crop under these
conditions ha, not a bright prospect
before him to say the least.

mated from the fact that Mr.. Folks
did buy a field Of corn In Kingman
county bat he sold it at once to an
other party and made neat profit on
the deal. He does not now own any

How MlssOurl's Democratic Editors
stand ON the Free Coinage
Question.

Sedalia, Mo-, July 26.--The Missouri
editors have unanimously adopted a set
of resolutions setting forth their views
upon the free coinage question.
The preamble gives history of the
free coinage question, and, speaking of
the opposition to the ratio of l6 to l, says
that while some people persistently OPP
pose that ratio, they suggest no other as
better.
France is given as an illustration to
show that the ratio can be maintained
The question is asked: "Why don't silver
drive gold out of Frapces"
The address states further that being
in touch with the mass of people in Mis-
souri,, the editors are aware of the fact
that nine-tenths of these people favor
free coinage at the ratio of 16 to l, and
are irrevocably against agold standard
The evils of gold monometallism are full
ly set forth in the address. The resolu-
tions favor the organization of literary
bureau to keep people informed on the
financial question and urge every Demo-
cratic editor to actively cooperate with
the executive committee in perfecting
thorough organization of Democrats to
secure harmony and victory. The reso-
lutions conclude with pledge to oppose
every effort, no matter from what source,
to commit the Democracy to gold mono
metallism, and for a third time pledge
Democrats to fight unfalteringly for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver and
gold at ratio of 16 to l.

Washington, July 26.-"Silver ranks

marked Worthington @. Ford, chief of

Herald correspondent, "and the value of
the exports of silver continues on q
steady rise.
"For the month of June" he continued,
1--WE exported silver coin and bullion to
the value of $4,O87,136, nearly $1,OOO,OOO
increase over the exports of June year
ago.
"And here is another significant thing.
During the past four months silver has
risen cents, being worth in the market
to-day 81 cents. England is our chief
buyer of the white metal. If the present
demand continues, would not be sur
.prised if silver should take an even high
er place in the value of our exports.
"The next quarterly report of imports
and exports will give clearer idea and
better showing of the operations of the
new tariff. The balance of trade has
been in our favor for some time and for
the fiscal year just closed the value of
our exports exceeds the value of i'm
ports by more than $1OO,OOO,OO0 This is
an unmistakable sign of returning pros

The Denver & Rio Grande Railroad
company should not hesitate as to the
most feasible route in every respect from
Cerrillos south.
1t is through this section and it should
have preference over all other proposed
routes for many reasons. The principal
ones being the possibilities of our as yet
undeveloped mountains of mineral and
the volume of traffic such road would
secure from these mines, the develop
ment of which would be stimulated and
the output increased many fold by the in
centive received by the extension of the
road through here.

GLINTS FROM GOLDEN.
Ore Body in the Pearl R. Mine I'm.
prOving-Big Strike in the Cum
ningham-BOy Picks Up a
So Nugget Of Gold.

Correspondence New Mexican.
Golden, Santa Fe Co., July 24.-The
ore body in the recently discovered fiasure
in the Pearl R. mine is improving as
depth is attained. The owners have con-
cluded not to cross-cut until they go
down deeper on the lead and for that rea-
son the width of same has not as yet been
determined.
A big strike is reported to have been
made Monday last on the Smuggler mine,
owned by Cullen d Randall. The ore has
been uncovered to the width of twenty
feet and only one wall found so far. Ore
assays $50 per ton and is of the same
character as that of the Pearl r.
As the Smuggler lies north of and ad-
joins the Pearl r. on that end it is rea-
sonable to conclude that it is the same
ore body and that this is further proof
that the ore body on the Pearl R. extends
over the whole of the claim, lengthwise at
least.
This is being proved lately to be
much richer section than was ever sup.
posed.
Heretofore tests were made in common
mills and the ore would not pay, but
since Fitzgerald has tested these same
ores by his process they have been found
to be much richer and all such refractory
ores can be protitably treated. It is a
big thing for this section, which future
operations will confirm.
The New Mexico ore body is holding
out we'll and really looks better than
ever.
H. Goodman has leased the San Pedro
stamp mill and will commence running
ore from this mine to-day. He has built
a good ore road and teams have been
hauling ore since Monday.
In the placer grounds in the gulch at
the head of which the New Mexico is sit
uated the native placer miners have

"The amount of gold exported for the

"The contract with the bond syndicate
was signed on the 9Th day of February.
For four months of this year latter the
contract had been signed), March, April,
May and June, only $4,000 of gold had
been exported, and it went to the United
Kingdom. And yet some people want to
say the treasury gained nothing by the
bond contract, even while admitting that
it restored confidence in financial circles.
There is no question but that the country
is in better condition to-day than it has
been for years. Confidence has been re-
stored, the manufacturers have adjusted
themselves to the tariff changes, and the
result is business has taken an upward
tendency with profit to the employer and
