GROW RICH. EVERY FARMER.

The editor thinks it to be the wish Of
everybody to grow rich. not for the sake
of the money. but for the good that can
be done with the money. Now, there
are three new cereals recently created
that will make money for the farmer.
One is Silver King Barley, the most
wonderful creation of the age, yielding
90, 100 to 116 bu. per acre in 1895. and
there are thousands of farmers who be-
lieve they can grow 150 blu. per acre
therefrom in 1896.
Then there is Silver Mine Oats, yield
ing in 1895 209 blu. per acre. Every
farmer who tested it, believes $50 pu.
possible.
Then there is Golden Triumph Corn.
which produced over 200 bu per acre.
and $50 blu. is surely possible
And potatoes, there is Salzer's Ear
Hest, which was fit for table in % DAYS
in 1895. yielding tremendously, while
the Champion of the World, tested in
thousand different places in 1895. YIELD
ed from TO ], 500 bu. per acre.
Now, in Salzer's new catalogue there
is a wonderful arrayal of new varieties
of wheat, oats, barley. rye, potatoes.
grasses, clovers and forage plants. and
the editor believes that it would pay
every farmer thousand-fold to get this
catalogue before buying seeds.
If you will cat this out and send II
with 10 cents postage to the John A.
Salzer Seed Co., La Crosse, Wis, you
will receive, free, 10 grain and grass

TO eliminate silver from use as a coin
metal. Any Legislation in that direc-
lion will be looked upon by the COM
mon people as in the interest of the
money power for the express purpose
OF increasing the purchasing power Of
money and decreasing the selling
price of everything produced by hui
man toll! 1t is a fact that should not
be overlooked by statesmen that the
price Of American silver and the price
Of American wheat reached low-water
mark on the same day.
In another letter, written also in
July, 1893, to populist editor IN this
state, Mr.. Thurston said, among other
things equally indicative Of his leaning
toward silver reconciliation:
BELIEVES IN GOLD AND SILVER.
II am a profound believer in the
use Of both gold and silver as money,
I advocated the restoration of free
coinage before any Of those who are
now the selfselected champions of sill
YER in Nebraska had ever opened their
lips on the subject"
In a proof OF his assertion he quot
ed from speech he made in Sioux
City four years before, in which he de-
CIsred that the people Of the west must
have cheap money. In that speech al
so occurred the following:
Slut our mountain ranges produce
q metal which, until a few years ago,
was money the wide world over. Sill
YER was one OF the standard coins oil
the United States from the birth Of
independence until it's demonstration
crept into the statutes Of congress,
either by mistake or fraud, / assert
that the American people, and es-
pecislly those of'the west, demand the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
The excerpts given are but speci
mems OF the utterances of Senator
Thnrston on the subject of silver, and
the democratic managers are not
therefore, dismsyed at the announce
ment that he has been selected to fol
low Bryan through the east. Man!
Of his utterances in favor Of free coin
age are as strong as those Of the can
didate of the silver parties, and theI
are being embalmed in cold, unyield

HERR MOST.

Herr Most will begin his talks for
gold in Boston on Tuesday evening"
In a late interview the great anarchist
denounces Bryan as an lass"
Herr Most makes an exte lsive par
ade Of his poverty, and il what he
says is true some one must be putting
up the "stuff" for him while be is out
on his campaign for gold. Whoever
has made this investment in the inter
est Of the Hanna combination, The
News regards 1t as not a bad one
for MIR. Bryan. The democratic-sil-
YER nominee has been branded all
over the east as an anarchist. If It
were true, people would naturally ex-
pect to see the great leader Of anarchy
working for HIM with all the veno-
nous power Of his tongue. But not
so. Here he comes preaching the
doctrine of the gold standard and
urging it's adoption by the American
people. Certainly, If the recognized
leader Of anarchy in this country is
against Bryan and silver, then Mr..
Bryan cannot be an anarchist. So
long as Herr Most is out on his
stumping tour, so long, at least, will
it be wise for the goldbug press to
omit anarchist from the list Of choice
epithets which they have laid up for
daily use against the silver candidate.
Let the people OF the United States
understand that the national flag is
good enough for Mr.. Bryan and his
friends. They want no speakers in
their behalf who wave the red flag Of
anarchy, and declare for universal
social chaos. They freely accord
Herr Most and such as he to the
a-McKinley crowd. For as be-
tween the torch Of the anarchist and
the gold standard Of the money power
il is difficult to determine which il
the most dangerous to society and tc
the peace, happiness and prosperity
Of mankind. Rocky Mountain NetUs

Eight Cent Corn.

Messrs. Zug, Mishler and Sperline
returned last Saturday with 1903 head
OF cattle, bought principally in Os-
borne county. The corn is very poor
IN that county, but it is better in
other localities around there. The
county is full OF cattle buyers and
prices are pretty stiff. Corn is worth
only 8 cents bushel, the quality be-
ing very poor.-Salina Republican,
Herald.
Corn at s cents a busheIl Perhaps
men who expend from $50 to $500 a
month for their own requirements, Of
whom there are many, never thought
what 8 cent corn means to the man
who produces 1T.
Let US do little figuring. II IS a
very good seasons work to pillow for,
plant, cultivate properly and harvest
40 acres Of corn. We will estimate
the yield at 80 bushels per acre, which
10 above the average for the state.
AS the Osborne county corn, which is
poor, is worth but s cents, we will
make an estimate on good corn and
call it worth 10 cents. Then the
farmer would have for his years
work 40 acres Of corn yielding 80
bushels per acre, or 1000 bushels, at
10 cents, or 1920.
This is about the time Of year that
people begin to think about buying
an outfit Of winter clothes. Let us

the store where he makes his fall pur-
chase. The memorandum will read
something like this:

he have mortgage on his farm the

compilation is based on the suppose
ton that what the farmer and his
family eat costs them nothing which
is sometimes the case, as the groceries
consumed are obtained in exchange
for butter, eggs and poultry.
La 1t any wonder that the farmer is
dissatisfied. 1t does not improve
matters or put him in better humor
