Futile Hopes.

A manufacturer of farm implements
In an adjoining state, who is waiting
for Nc cKinleyism to bring the promised
good times, mentioned his hopes and
expectations to the editor of journal
devoted to his industry. In reply he
received he following: "You have my
sympathy. not on account of five-cent
potatoes and Accent wheat, but be-
cause of your extreme credulity in
thanking for moment that the election
of Mckinley will make anything better
than we have now. It is not necessary
for you and me to quarrel about il; the
chances are he will be elected. At all
events, II money can buy him the place
he will get it. Four years from now we
will be just as much poorer than now
as we are worse off now than 20 years
ago. It's all right, though, it takes q
good deal of sweating to make people
see what is necessary, but in Gods time
it will come. / write you this SO you
will not be deceived and expect Nc
Kinley's election to help you pay any
bills" "St. Paul Globe.

it being the impurities in iron which
make it the most valuable and impor-

Inetalloids, and of particular interest to
the foundryn1an are such metalloids
as carbon, silicon. manganese, sulphur,
phosphorus, and a good foundry pig
iron should contain from 1926 to 3.5 per

Mckinley stands for a doctrin

Mckinley stands for a doctrine
whose benefciaries can afford to pay
well for the special privileges secured to
them under the bill bearing his name.
They can make no better Investment
than in buying enough official positions
of the Mckinley stripe to enable them
to run the United States government.
Once represented by their own plant
tools, they can secure such tariff legis-
lation, such legislation in the interest
OF trusts, combines and pools as they
may desire One of the strongest fea-
tures of the campaign thus far carried
on is that the masses do not grasp this
fact or are too apathetic to make the
fight on behalf Of good government that
it suggests. Mckinley cannot be for
them and at the same time for the pow
erful representatives Of syndieated cap
ital that are behind his candidacy.

In q Nutshell.

The panic of '93 caused hard times.
It was caused by bad monetary laws.
Every business man knows that. Some
republican politicians admit IT. But
the republicans saw in the hard times
chance to score point and nuke cap
ital. They charged it onto the demo-
cratic tariff. It was, with its slight
reductions, the cause Of the panic.
Only restoration OF the discarded
policy can restore prosperity. They
preached this doctrine necessarily.
They knew better; their intelligent
business men know better, but they
are overawed and silent. The mass
believe what their speakers and pa
pers tell them. Mckinley is the eni-
bodiment, in their eyes, Of Mckinley
ism. He alone is identified with that
policy. what more logical than that
the people should cluster about The
candidate who most directly promises
to relieve them through high tariff ?"
This puts the situation into hut

At the Office of DR.. J. S. McGrew
last evening the following named
sons of veterans of the American
civil war took the preliminary
step towards the formation OF a
Sons of Veterans camp in the Ha-

States: Louis K. McGrew, Louis
Adler, Jr., F. E. Lynn, A. L. Pat
terson, L. Perkins, J. W. Short, C.
B. Mangus, Geo. Dillingham; and
G. Overlook.
Mr.. McGrew was made chairman
and the first business of the meet
ing was the election of officers, Mr..
NlcGrew being made elected cap
tain, F. E. Lynn first lieutenant,
and J. w. Short second lieutenant.
For camp council the names of
Messrs. Patterson, Mangus and
Dillingham; were proposed and
passed upon. After a short dis
cussion it was decided that the
name of the camp.be sc. C. Wiltze

bidders are satisfied with an inter

reflection on the previous deals of

SUGAR PRODUCTION PER ACRE.

When the enthusiastic people OF
Hawaii want to enlarge on the ex-
cellence of this country as a land
for producing sugar, one of the first
things that is Haunted to the breeze
Is the remarkable yield of ten tons
to the acre that has been recorded
in a few districts of the islands.
We appreciate fully the spirit in
which these statements are made.
and know full well that the inten-
ton is to spread abroad a good i'm
preston OF the sugar-producing
capacity Of the country. Such ex-
tensive use has been made of these
extreme figures, however, that an
incorrect impression has gone
abroad, and while it may, even in
its falsity, prove a passing benefit
IN one way or another, it finally
does the commercial interests far
more harm than good.

UNITED STATES BOND ISSUE.

Ii offers of money are proof o.
patriotism, the recent popular loan
on the last bond issue made by
Secretary Carlisle OF the United
States Treasury leaves no question
OF the high regard the American
people have for their country's
honor. The call for this last loan
of s100,000,0o0 on 4 per cent.
thirty-year bonds was made on
January 9th last. When the bids
for the purchase OF the bonds were
opened on February 9Th, offers had
been received for i've times the
amount of the loan. The bonds,
which are to be redeemable in coin,
are to be issued in denominations
OF $50 or multiples OF that sum, as
desired by the purchaser. They
will be dated February /, 1885,
and will mature on February 1,
1925. This is the fourth bond
issue during the present Admins
tration, and although the Secretary
Of the Treasury was practically
forced by Congress to make pop
ular loan, instead of dealing the lot
out to a monied syndicate, it has
been the most successful and reas-
surfing OF any Government loan
made in many years.
For the first 5 per cent. loan
made in February, '94, 23S bids
were made. representing over fifty
two millions of dollars. The
larger portion OF this amount
was bid in at the upset
price OF $117.223. The amount
awarded was fifty millions, on
