 Farmers are boasting of the unusual orwardness of crops, especially cotton. and are happy in the prospect of an abundant crop of cereals and mag nificent crop of fruit.
 The feeling amongst our business men is buoyant and hopeful. while the signs strongly indicate a speedy revival Tn all lines of business.

BusINEss IMPROVING.
The Merchants All Feel Better Times in the
 Pulse of Trade

One can scarcely circulate among the merchants now without feeling the great improvement that has taken place in business circles. The merchants, both wholesale and retail, report business steady improving in all lines and money growing more plentiful every day.
 Not since the paniclxy days of 1891 have the merchants, bankers and business men generally exhibited such signs of per feet contentment with the condition of trade as were apparent last week. More money and spending it with a freer hand was noticeable everywhere.
 The buildings now in course of erection, the fine residences to be built at an early date, the new business block soon to be begun on Jefferson street all point to renewed activity in business circles. The Mercury congratulates the merchants and enjoys their prosperity heartily Huntsville Mercury.

IRRIGATION COMMENTS.

The Newton Journal has an interest
ing column on the question of irrigation,
from which we CLEAN the following para
graphs:
The water supply seems to bother
many. The fact of the case is that it
doesn't take fourth as much water as
most people imagine. 1t is more the
cultivation than the water. Some years
no water whatsoever will be needed.
Others it will.
The one great trouble with a great
majority of the people of the west is
that they do not look rightly upon the
subject of irrigation. 1t is well known
fact that a majority of the farmers of
Kansas attempt to cultivate too much
ground. One hundred and sixty acres
are often attempted when sixty should
receive the same attention and would
yield just as much. They expect to ir-
rigate on the same basis, but it WON'T
work.
Twelve months ago very little thought
was given to irrigation in the east and
in the west it was looked upon as a
sprout from the fatal "boom' tree.
Bat the few experiments made last year
SO Ear over-reached all of the most san
guiae ideas and hopes of success that
it has given an impetus and force to
the new found panacea that has borne
fruit in numerous ''plants" and private
concerns in Harvey and surrounding
counties. All kinds of schemes are
now on tapis and hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars viii thus be proftably
expended in the next three years.
The next great howl is. where will we
find a market for our products if we
do raise anything? The best market On
earth lies right before our eyes. Thous-
ands of dollars are annually sent out
of the state from Newton and returned
in the shape of vegetables, principally
potatoes, which are shipped in by the
carload. When the home market is
supplied the income will begin to flow
homeward at once. There isn't one
farmer out of forty that doesn't come
to town more than once before the
spring freshets begin and give up dol
lar a bushel for this one article alone.
But it is all foolishness.
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1895-05-23
PLAIN SILVER TALK.

Judge Caldwell, of the United States
circuit court for the Eighth district,
says some plain things in faver of the
coinage of both gold and silver at a
ratio of 16 to 1. Here is his opinion,
and it will be agreed to by nine out of
every ten laboring men and farmers in
the land, regardless of party:
The country is about entering upon
another struggle for the protection OF
the rights and the promotion OF the IN
terests of the laborer and producer,
which is, in my judgment, of even more
moment than the first. l have been
surprised that the issue has been so
long delayed. The fight ought to have
been forced years ago on the line of
absolute and unqualified free coinage
of gold and silver at the ratio of Is TO
i, without regard to the action of Eng
land or any other foreign power. If
we are to be subservient to England in
our financial policy, why not in other
matters? The financial policy of ma
Cion determines it's strength and pros
perity and the nation which consents
that another and competing nation
may regulate its financial policy will
find it's producers impoverished and its
industries destroyed and the nation
itself will soon be little more than a
mere dependency of the power to which
it surrendered the most vital function
of government. If we are not capable
and able to establish and maintain oul
own financial policy, we ought to haul
down "Old Glory which you fought
so gallantly to uphold, and turn the
government over to Queen Victoria, OF
ask Canada to annex US.

CLAFLIN,
From the Leader

From the Leader
This week we enlarge to six column
folio and go back to the patent inside"
plan.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stoskopf, mother and
father of John and Jake Stoskopf, came
in from Iowa Tuesday night on visit.
The extremely dry weather is hard on
crops. Wheat which looked fine two
weeks ago is now badly burned. and
unless there is a good rain very soon
there will be no wheat left in the
country which it would pay to cut.
Verify, life on the Kansas plains has
many drawbacks.
Mic Webber of Dubuque sowed two
acres in alfalfa last spring on high
prairie ground, which had first been
plowed deep. He got a good stand,
cut it once and let the hay lay as a
mulch. This year it stooled out and
came up finely. He has been cutting
and feeding it to hogs for some time,
and, in spite of the drouth, that remain
ing uncut is about eighteen inches high,
and will be harvested this week. The
small patch previously cut is nice and
green again and Mr.. Webber expects
to get at least three crops this year
from his little experiment. The only
| regret expressed is that he did not put
in a much larger acreage, yet those two
| acres will net him more than the entire
| crop of many a quarter section of land
! this year.
