TIE GOOD TIMES FAKE.

| The Philadelphia manufacturer in
| an able review, effectually disposes of
the gentlemen who are attempting 10
persuade the American people that the
| late advance noted in some commOdi-
ties and productsis due to improved con-
| ditions under the sound money sys-
| TEN Of the Cleveland administration.
Nothing could be farther from the
| truth The advance in the price OF
| wheat was caused by an existing short
age of the grain in store, coupled with
| the universal adverse crop reports.
| So far as America figures in the worlds
prices of that product it is common
knowledge that the great wheat states
will have little to add to the worlds
stock of -four for 1895. AS for the
advance in railway stocks, ii being
notorious that the roads are doing less
than even year ago, some other rea-
son must be found. The reason for
the unexpected impetus viii be found
in the fact of the sale Of millions OF
dollars additional American bonds in
l.
large volume Of other securities. From
this comes the kind of prosperity that
farmer or business man realizes at
first from money he has borrowed I'M
der a mortgage of his possessions. 1t,
in fact, in the end, means a tighter
squeeze. From these borrowed mill
ions the demand for certain lines of
manufactured articles viii be enhanced
thereby for a season putting great
number Of operatives at work, but the
borrowed money once expended there
is an end at once of both the seemingly
improved conditions and the additional
labor.
The interest on these newly borrow
ed millions. however, will have to be
paid and paid in the usual way, paid
out Of the sweat of the producer paid
in wheat and cotton at existing or
lower prices. Almost thousand mil
lion additional pounds Of cotton We're
exported to Europe last year paying
about five millions less of debt. SO
we 90 under Mr.. Cleveland's low tariff
and single standard policy piling up
additional debt and diminishing our
power to meet its interest. There is
only one end to it all. In other words
we as people or nation are foolishly
trying to borrow ourselves rich and
beggary ourselves to hold Il gold bal
ance in the treasury. 1t is just the
policy that Europe would lay down for
us. Even that balance which is cost
ing so much of sweat and distress is
at the mercy of the foreigners with
whom Cleveland had his gold deal. In
the meantime our own resources Ian
guish, our factories remain silent and
our people idle. ''Stand upon one leg
cries Mr.. Cleveland, "and see the glory
Of Cod" meaning by God, himself.

1t is well on the place belonging to

Extra Session,

II is now positively announced that
Cleveland will call congress together
in extraordinary session in October.
The reason for the session will be to
provide revenue to run the govern
ment, although the Democrats nave
been claiming all along that the rev.
enues would pick up, with returning
prosperity, sufficient to meet operat-
ing expenses. The call is a clear ad-
mission by the president that he was
wrong in declaring a tariff for reve-
nue. only would serve to pay the run
ming expenses of the government. he
now sees that such a tariff was so dis
astrous TO home industries that an
enormous percentage OF our revenues
were cut of. Calling the Republican
congress together. means that the
president acknowledges the necessity
of a protective tariff. to keep the ma
ton from going into bankruptcy and
the working men from starvation. The
people can take heart now. because
we have heard the last OF free trade,
insomuch as il will ever be thrust upon
US again.-Leavenwort Times.

weeds in all stages of growth, and also
the way in which they scatter their seeds
