Americans are in the midst of mar velous era. Several hundred million dol lars have been added to the value of American products in the last ninety days. The magic of Aladdin is tame by the side of the sober truth of modern trade. The widest dreams of the apos- ties of fiatism pale into insigniicance in comparison with the simple fact of to- day. Nature is making money for Americans faster than any printing press could do it. The rise in the prices of the products of American farms means the beginning of a prosperity that needs only the success of the honest dol lar at the November election to suaran- tee its permanence.
 Nest of the chief farm products share in the advanced prices. Most of these commodities are being exported in -nor- nous quantities, and in exchange Amer ica will get European gold. No one can say truly how much has been added to the wealth of Americans by the rise. but few figures will give the reader an ink ling of the mighty force at work for American veal. Corn has risen 5 cents bushel. wheat 14 cents and pats 4 cents. Competent grain men estimate that those advances have added 10 ;he value of the holdings in this country on the three cereals alone the following enormous sums:

Another Popocratic Forgery.

Another "bald, unblushing forgery, as it is called by John c. .Nicolay, Lin coln's private secretary, has been put in circulation by the Bryanites.
 This forgery is a quotation from, m alleged speech by Mir. Lincoln. in which he is made to say that ''as a result of the war corporations have been en- throned and the era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money mower of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people. until all wealth is aggregated in few hands and the republic is destroyed"
 The war was hardly over when Lin- coin was assassinated. The speech is a forgery on the face of it, notwithstand- ing the fact that Bryan has made use of it. But Mir. Nicolay, who, in writing the fife of Lincoln. had access to all his papers, and who, as private secre- tary, personally knew of Lincoln,s pub lie addresses, is the best possible au- thority on the subject. When he says that Lincoln "never said or wrote any. thing that by the utmost license could be distorted to resemble it." there can be no doubt of the forgery. No can vass in this country has ever been marked by such unblushing forgery as Bryan's.-Philadelphia Press.

Appreciation on Other Products.

To these must be added a2 aggregated appreciation of many millions on other commodities. Pork. for instance. has ad- vanced from its low point by $1.S5 bar rel, and ribs have advanced nearly Q cent pound. Lard has gone np ilore than $4 tierce. Rye has been ad- vanced nearly 10 cents bushel. fiaxsced l5 cents and barley s cents. Cloversced has scored an increase of $3.25 per hum dred weight.
 The yearly sales of butter and eggs ex- ceed in cash value all the other products of the farm. Butter has advanced 9 per cent. and eggs 45 per cent. The price of cheese has risen 9 to 50 per cent. White beans are 45 to 70 per cent. higher. Most of these products are in active demand in Europe. They are pouring across the sea in such streams that there is not shipping enough to move them promptly. Even Australia and India are sending for the good things of the American farm. The seas are covered with regular liners and uith tramp steamers focking to American shores for the rich freightage.
 Orchards Fall fin Line.
 But this list does not exhaust the names of the staples that have scored sensational gains. The American or chard is coming in for share of the | good times. To the list may be added California dried fruits, such as raisins, prunes, apricots and peaches, which have | gained from 15 to 50 per cent. and are still going up. Canned goods, such as tomatoes, corn and peas, now an impor- tant part of the worlds food supply, have shown material improvement in prices. The average man may be blind to the import of higher prices, because | of limited information. A slight ad- vance in the value of one or two articles l in which he may have personal inter- est may have little significance, and when there is such general rise as is now going on it requires compre- hensive survey of the situation to grasp the vastness of the addition to the value
 of the products of the farmer.-Chicago | Times-Herald.

ounce. As this silver is worth in the market G6 to e cents an ounce the mar gin of profit is easily seen to be a very heavy one-10 to 20 per cent.
 Moreover. seme of the mines represent no actual investment whatever Count ing "water" and all. the Elkhorn mine has a nominal capital of only $1 ,000, 900. It has paid dividends amounting to $1,- 212.OOO The Granite Mountain is nomi- nally capitalized at $10,000,0O0. It has already returned in dividends to it's stockholders $12,12O.OOO. Other mines show enormous profits on investments that are largely fictitious.
 Yet the multi-millionaires who own these properties coolly ask the people of the country to pay them incalculable mil lions of additional profit by coining each 66 cents worth of their product into $1.29 worth of legal tender money. They ask the country thus almost ex- actly to double to them the market price of a product already so profitable that 1t pays them millions every year to produce ii.
 So far as they are concerned free coin- age would do precisely this. It would enable them to pay q dollar of wages or debt with 51 cents worth of silver. How far the process would enhance the general value of the silver dollar no man can know. But this much is clear: Every penny of the advance, be it much or little. must be paid out of the peo- ple's earnings. while every penny of the difference between the new price of sil- yer and its mint price win represent so much of robbery from creditors and toil- CTS.
 In brief. this great silver trust is Q conspiracy among a hundred or so multi millionaire mine-owners to rob the pub lie and to levy tribute upon the wages of everyone who works. Is there any conceivable reason wny any workingman, any savings bank de- positor, any holder of a life insurance policy. or any other honest man should vote for this rings programme?

TAKING HONEY FROM BEES.

from their bees. S. L. Petit gives
his plan in the Canadian Bee Journal,
as follows:
This Is the way 1 DO it now: First,
give q couple of smart whiffs of smoke
IN the entrance, then blow tho smoke
smartly under the. quilt. and the bees
will rush downwards, then remove the
quilt or cloth, and, for a moment rush
the bees down with the smoke. Now

the hive. Now, see, all this must be
done before the reaction or return of

gathering honey is not decreased by
the presence OF those empty combs,
and everything is all right.

FASHION NOTES.

Tie gown that is made without q
suggestion of bolero or Elton to it will
be IN q class entirely by itself.
Shaded taffetas will be greatly used
for the broad corselets that Paris SAYS
will supersode the ribbon belts of
summer.
Though crepon, as a fabric is no
longer in fashionable favor, yet indica-
tions of its crinkled effect are seen in
many of the new materials.
Smooth-faced cloths are conspicuoug
among the autumn novelties, and
brown, green and navy blue seem to
be equally fashionable colors.
Though it is predicted that the
quiet colors will be the leaders, tho
plaids in the windows are sufficiently
gay to make one doubt tbs statement.
When an alpine or English walking
hat is to be worn this year with a
tailor gown it will invariably have a
group OF Spanish cock feathers at the
left side.
Canvas cloth is also regarded as ON
easy fall novelty. 1t is closely woven.
and can stand much hard wear. The
clothes in the basket weave are equally
popular.
No panels have appeared rs yet, but
some of the sash arrangements give
panel effect, and the dressmakers hint
that there may be velvet panels on
winter gowns.
Gray will be much worn. 1t comes
IN three shades-a dark-gray, called
platina, lighter shade. spoken of rs
nickel, and a still fainter, more silvory
color, known rs silver.
