The Farmers Condition.

Communicated.
Taxes, interest, salaries, etc., are twice as much
as they should be compared with the price Of
farm produce. If all these debts should depre-
ciate in proportion to the value of products there
would not be so much room for complaint
We know it is twice as difficult to meet these
expenses now as it was twenty years ago. We
know that all debts must be paid by profit OF
gain; and if but little profit is made it is about
impossible to meet them.
The goldbug papers admit that there will be an
advance in the prices of products providing silver
is remonetized but also tell US it would not be
beneficial to the farmer as everything else would
advance in proportion
Now if the farmer should get double the amount
tor his produce, the laborer double the wages,
would it be likely that taxes, interest, salaries,
ETC., would be doubled? They are in reality
doubled now compared with the value of labor.
Let us make a comparison-a crop of wheat,
800 bus cost to produce $685. sell tor so cents per
bu, or $3.50; profit S25 Double the cost of produc-
ton equals $3.50; sell for s1OO per bu., or $500;
profit $780, instead of S25, to pay taxes, interest,
mortgages, salaries etc. Could we not pay our
debts much faster and if not in debt be able to
save small amount?
To prove that taxes have really doubled 1 will
give my own experience. Seventeen years ago 1
bought a property and by great economy and
hard labor have improved it somewhat by erect
ing buildings, and pay each year now nearly
double the taxes did at the beginning of that
time, and could not sell at this time for what 1
gave at first. Say nothing about the seventeen
years of the prime of my life that is gone. And
this is the experience of the great majority of
the United States. Is it any wonder that the
farmer and laborer are studying the cause OF all
this? If the profits of the capitalist were in pro-
portion we could not complain.

Rev. Mark Minser, Dunkard minis
ter of Deckers Point, Pa, says he can
recommend Chamberlain's Pain Balm to
any one in need of good liniment, and
that he considers it the best he has ever
used. Pain Balm is especially valuable
for rheumatism, lame back, sprains,
swellings. cuts, bruises, burns and scalds.
1t is one of the most remarkable medicines
in existence, and its effects will both sur
prise and delight you. For sale at rs and

Mr.. John Fl. Nichols says
through the Cecil Wing of last
week-on his own authority-that
Senator Stewart is a silver mine
owner worth $40, 100000 and that
senator Teller is of the same class
and worth 100000. Senator
Stewart is not mine owner and is
not worth one fOrtieth that sum and
we have the authority of a U. S.
Senator who undoubtedly knows
that senator Teller is a poor man.
So much for Mr.. Nichols authority.

JeWett Nominated.

George M. Jewett, of Hartford
county, was nominated on the
Bryan free silver ticket for Con
gress, at Havre de Grace, on
Wednesday. Mr.. Jewett is a son
of Hugh j. Jewett, who at one time
was president of the Erie railroad.
The nominee is an eloquent speaker
and has been strong advocate of
the free coinage of silver since the
Bland battle for silver in 1873, and
is not Il recent convert. Those are
the kind of men to place on guard.

When the goldbug employers
began paying their workmen in
Mexican dollars, two for one OF our
money, the price was raised 20 per
cent in ten days. They stopped
that goldbug lesson. 1t was too
instructive. If the U. S. minis
were open the Mexican silver dol
lars would be worth as much as a
1OO-cent American gold dollar.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 11.-Julian d.

danger of becoming mere outposts of

government because hat is all it is as
yet. The utter failure of the efforts to
reconcile the native Hawaiians to. dis
reimbursement, the suddenly aggressive
action Of the Japanese residents, and
the independent stand taken by the
Chinese agr%iculturists, the situation
is anything but comfort BILE.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ll.-If an attempt

will prevent it at all hazards. Attorney

on Texas territory, and no doubt has
influence enough with Mexican author

Mexico. 1t is understood that Governor
Culberson has gone to the frontier to
direct in person the movement of the
militia if necessary to prevent the bat
tie taking place on Texas territory.
Texas, undoubtedly, will assume juris-
dictlon Of the disputed territory for the
time being. If it is definitely known

The only effect of the action at

the paraphernalia for the mills was
taken from this city. Great care was
