CAUSE OF FARMERS POVERTY,

The congressional committee ap-
pointed to inquire into the cause OF
agricultural depression in this coun-
try has made the following report,
which was telegraphed from Wash
ington in the Associated Press dis
patches under date of March g.
"lt is unnecessary for the com
mittee TO enter into or dwell upon the
fact that agriculture is depressed in
every branch of this important indus
try; that the values of farm lands,
unless under exceptionally rare con
ditions, have deprecated steadily as
the purchasing power of the dollar
has increased But while the values
of the property owned by the Ameri-
can farmers have decreased in thirty
years from nearly one half of the
total wealth in 1860 to less than one
fourth in 1890, of which 80 per cent
is now under undergraduates have
steadily increased and debts now re-
quire four times the labor to be paid
than was then required. The pur-
chasing capacity of the dollar to
secure the farmers land and his pro-
duce has increased four fold, while
the power to pay his taxes and debts
have remained ut stand still
''ln 1873, wheat sold from 81 IA
TO 50 20 bushel according to Spot
fords almanac) in New York; in 1894
it sold at 80 cents.
Discussing the causes of the depres-
sion, the committee SAYS:
"Class legislation of the worst
character encumbers the statute books
and has been carried ON to the detri-
ment of agriculture and its dependent
industries for thirty years, culminat-
ing in the crime of the age, the de-
monetizaiion of silver in 1873.
1.-The decentralization of silver was
bold stroke IN the interest of capital
that has reduced the value of every
product in the world This is con.
clusively proven by the fact that Just
ms SILVER has deprecated, in like pro
portion have all other values fallen in
the scale. Silver bullion today has
the capacity to purchase as much
wheat cotton, pork, corn and lard
and every other commodity as it ever
had, therefore the depreciation of the
white metal simply means the depre-
citation of every article under the sun
with one exception, the gold of Shy

Central American union against Mexico
In the present fight seems to be growing
less and less every day. The minister of
Salvador has kept his home government
well informed of the high spirit of the
whole Mexican republic over the Guate-
nlalan episode, and of the activity of that
government in pushing forward prepara-
tons for war to the finish. This sort of
thing is not to the taste of Salvador
or the other Central American republics.
President Barrios, of Guatemala, is fear
ed by some Of the other republics on ae-
count of his vaulting ambition to be ruler
of all Central America, and SO his de-
mands carry some weight with them
when ieveied at his weaker neighbors.
Rushing Troops to the Front.
The Mexican government has pushed
fresh forces into the Guatemalan frontier
almost daily, and camp quarters for
large body of men have been arranged for.
A few Guatemalans living in the vicinity
Of Comitan have quietly left for their
native country, and others who are dis
gusted with the course of President Bar
rios and the Guatemalan administration
have fled to Mexico rather than be press
ed into an unwilling service. Reports
from the other side of the border are that
Guatemala is using every effort to work
up feelings of patriotism among the peo-
pie, in the hope of obtaining large rein
forcements to continue its bluff against
Mexico. When persuasion fails it is
given out that when the government
needs men il will press them into service.
Nearly every horse within 100 miles Of
the border has been secured by some
means or another already, and a siren
uous effort is being made to secure more.
The uncommunicative policy of the
Guatemalan government is having n dis
astrous effect upon the public order, and
many alarms are constantly felt by the
residents of the frontier, fearing an inva-
sion of the mounted Mexican rurales. 1t
is generally felt that should war ensue,
the frontier will be so ovcrrun by troops
and pillaging renegades that life will be

republic as it's ruler. In an interview
with the Salvadorian minister, Don ia
cinto Castellanos, he said that he consid-
cred the final declaration of war against
Guatemala as a calamity which ought to
be avoided If possible. and which, he
thinks, will be averted by the final recog-
milton of the justice of Mexico's claims.
1t will be remembered that Salvador is
in the position of friendly neighbor to
Guatemala, and so will use all its inf1u-
ence to preserve the peace.

The Nicaragua Bill Passes the senate,
81 to 2I-Its Provisions.
The bill pledging the faith Of the United
States to do the construction of the Mica
ragua canal passed the Senate by the de-
cisiye vote of 81 yeas to 21 nays. 1t was
the termination of n debate which has
histed since the present session of Con-
gress began. 1t was, moreover, the first
realization in either branch of Congress
OF the vast project so long and vigorously
urged for canal joining the Atlantic and
Pacific, with the United States govern
ment standing as sponsor for the execu-
ton of the work. The final vote was not
secured until G:30 o'clock at night, but,
Notwithstanding the lateness of the hour,
there was an exceptionally full Senate,
owing to the interest felt in the culmina-
ton of the long discussion. The Nicar-
aguan minister and many other diplomats
interested in the project had seats in the
diplomatic galleries throughout the vot-
ing on the many amendments and the
final question.
The Senators who voted nay are as fol-
lows: Allen, Blackburn, Blanchard, CAT

tin, Mitchell of Wisconsin, Roach, Vest,
Berry, Hansbrough, Pasco, Mcpherson,
Teller, Bate, McLaurin and voorhees,
were paired against the bill and Stewart
of Nevada was present and not voting.
In amending the bill it was provided
that only American goods and materials
should be used on the canal; that every
dollar Of stock should represent dollar
expended; that the aggregate contracts
shall not exceed SIC, ,OOO, 900; that no corpo-
ration in which stockholders are interest
ed should do any of the work. An amend
ment requiring the work to be done by
United States citizens working eight
hours n day was defeated.
The bill in brief directs the issue of $70,-
600, 900 of Nicaragua canal bonds. Each
of these is to bear the following guaran-
tee: ''The United States of America

War Clouds FLYING.

Mexico City advices say that If Mexico
Is pushed into the fight over the interna-
tional boundary her policy will be, as out
lined from the first by General Diaz and
his cabinet, to the effect that this dispute
and other little matters will be settled
once and forever, and the necessary
means used to that end. 1t is prophesied
In some quarters that Mexico will settle
the boundary line by quietly appropriate
ing the whole Guatemalan republic as n
part of the United States of Mexico, with
the City of Mexico as its capital, ana
with the chief executive of the Mexican
