stand In Washtenaw County.
The farmers down here all think II
very hard to have to buy feed fol
their stock. Hay is scarce, and sell:
at 500 $1,000 and $500 per ton,
Straw is scarce; corn stalks sell at
and cents per bundle, but grain i.
cheap. Corn sells at 18 cents pei
bushel, and oats at 20 cents, while
hogs, sheep and cattle are scarce.
The weather has been favorable fol
wheat this winter, being quite warm
with but little snow.
The water is raising in the wells
where many went dry last summer,
Farmers say that farming was not
profitable last year, but expect to DE-
better this year.

A January Fish Story.

Have our readers ever noticed that
some of Sthe largest fish stories are
told in the winter Probably that Is
because the big catches have had
time to arrange themselves in the
tellers mind, so that he can spread
them out to the best advantage, and
it may be that his EARNING machin-
cry" works better before an audience
that wasn't there, or anywhere near
there; and hence can not call the de-
tails into question.
"A January Fish-story," In the last
number of Will Carleton's Magazine,
EVERY WHERE" Is what gives rise
to the preceding reflections. The
old fisherman is represented as sitting
before large family of astonished
children, with his arms stretched Il
their fullest tension, showing the
length of one of the fish caught on Q
particular occasion, which is narrated
in rhyme, in his own peculiar dialect
1t all seems fairly reasonable, except
when he AYERS, that ''the fishes stood
In line to bite"

Free Coinage Not Americas.

The agitators who try to get support
for the silver standard by pretending
that it Is the only and original American
system are either very ignorant Of his
tory or think the people are Silver was
used to measure values thousands Of
years before America was discovered,
and it might still be the principal
money metal Of Europe were it not for
the great amounts Of gold mined in
America during the past four oenturieA
There II no record that the Indians
ever used silver a. money, their medium
Of exchange being wampum. the real

The attempt to create prejudice in
favor Of the 80 cent dollar by claiming
that the men who want it made our

true Americans" Is too childish for
argument Every schoolboy knows that
cheap silver is the money Of the pauper
Hindoos and Chinese. How, then, can
IL be more American than gold2

The Souvenir, paper claiming to be
tho ofacial organ Of the great fraternsl
order Of Odd Fellows, Published in re-
cent issue plea for the free coinage Of
silver at 10 to l. The principal reasou
given for attempting to commit non
partisan organisation to the 80 cent dol
lar swindle was that large number Of
members Of the order had been sus-
pended BY reason Of their inability to
pay their dues, and that 1t was there
fore impossible to continue the payment
1t relief funds ON the present scale OF
o, 500. 600 per year. This would mean
that aged and inflrm Odd Fellows, or
the widows and orphans Of deceased
members would receive smaller bene-
flts, and to prevent this condition Of At
fairs The Souvenir claims that It is nec-
essary TO coin more silver dollars 90 that
members in arrears can get cheap money
with which to pay up their dues
II the editor of The Souvenir had stop
ped to think before rushing into print,
he would have seen that his own state
ment OF the poverty and suffering which
would follow . reduction in the benefits
paid BY the order was the very best Of
reasons why this country should mot
adopt free coinage For nothing is moro
certain than that free silver would cut
the purchasing power Of the dollar in
two. 80 that the iok Odd Fellow, or the
widow or orphan who now gets benefits
Of, say, @6 per week would, under the
silver standard, get only the equivalent
Of o per week. The amounts to be paid
in benefits in each particular case are
fixed by the rules Of the order. Does It
require any argument to show that II
those benefits are paid in cheap dollars
the people who get them will lose one
half Of their income?
The order Of Odd Fellows has . de-
servedly high reputation as q great or
ganization working in the interests Of
benevolence and fraternity. II can hard
" be possible that it is ready to indorse
