OUR FARMING LAND.
WOEFUL DEPREClATIO IN
PRICES THEREFOR.
Mark Hanna and His Crowd OF Labor
Crushers Imagine That Declining
Values Keep the AgriculturIsts-A Tell
Tale Senate Report.

According to the Senate report on
Agricultural Depression" in Illinois
improved lands fell from S20.S1 in 1873
to $111S in 1892; wheat fell in the
same time from $1.10 to 60 cents a
bushel; cattle dropped nearly 60 per
cent; horses and mules went below
that; hogs fell so per ce;t, and sheep
80 per cent.
In Nebraska improved lands have
fallen more than 20 per cent since 1885
and live stock about 40 per cent.
In Kansas the tenant farmers in
creased 30,563.
In the Pacific and mountain states
and the territories, the number of ten
ant farmers increased 20,350.
In the Middle states the number OF
owning farmers decreased 42,304, and
the tenants increased 2i,075.
In fifteen Southern states there was
an increase of $780, 75 tenant farmers.
The Middle West, Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois gives evidence of the same
change, and the group lost 81 $50 own
ing farmers and gained 4S,SG4 tenant
farmers.
In Illinois the tenants increased to
1912 per cent of the whole In eight
states of the Northwest the number of
tenant farmers increased 10S,5O7.
In Pennsylvania farm lands have
fallen rs to 80 per cent in less than
twenty years.
In the New England states, farm
lands have fallen 80 per cent since
1875.
In forty-seyen states and territories
the number of tenant farmers increased
599,337. In 1880, 1852 per cent of the
farms were cultivated by tenants, in
1890, 34.13 per cent Of the farm families
were tenants.
According to the report OF The secre-
tary Of agriculture for 1898 the value
of an average acre of wheat that year
in the United States was S616, and the
cost of raising it was S114S--a net loss
to the wheat-growers Of this country
of 1882 for every acre cultivated that
year.
The report also says the average an
nual value of an acre Of wheat for the
fourteen years from 1880 to 1893 in
elusive, was only 1913, while it cost to
raise it per acre S11.4S-a net annual
loss to the farmers of the United States
OF SITS for every acre Of wheat pro-
duced since 1879.
The same report shows that the cost
OF raising an acre Of corn in 1898 was
Sill, and that the value Of an acre Of
corn that year was 1921.

How to Destroy Public Credit.

II the government has been paying
gold interest, it had that right by the
original agreement and it may here
after pay silver interest by the same
right. The option is in the government,
and it has never been surrendered and
never will be. How often must this be
repeated before the goldites will con.
sent to accept the fact? We have had
enough Shylock talk about public
credit" good faith," Honor" under
standings" Expectations" and Sup
positions" The surest way to kill
public credit, good faith and honor"
is to smash down the price of property,
paralyze business, rauperize labor,
bankrupt enterprise, and drive the peo-
pie into poverty and despair; and that
is precisely the role the gold-yelpers
are playing.-Chicago Tribune, Janu-
airy Is, 1878.

Tho Silver Dollar tho Unit.

The silveE: dollar was not changed
In 1902 congress enacted that 371;4
grains Of silver should constitute the
American dollar; that this dollar
should be the unit of value of Ameri-
can money, and be legal tender in
payment of all debts, public and
private. During the eighty years that
followed, though the size and quantity
Of pure metal in the gold coins were
changed more than once, the silver dol
lar, the American unit of value, re-
manned unchanged.-Chicago Tribune
Feb. %, 1878.

TRAIN ROBBERY.
The Chicago and Alton Held Up by
-Four Men, Who Get Safely Away.

The Chicago and Alton Held Up by
Four Men, Who Get Safely Away.
A passenger and express train on the
Chicago & Alton road, due at Kansas
City from Chicago and St. Louis at 7
o'clock, was held up and robbed by
four masked men, Friday evening, at
Blue Springs Cut, between Independ-
ence and Glendale, Mo. The scene of
the robbery is less than twenty miles
distant from Kansas City.
The train was tagged at the cut.
While two of the robbers stood guard
over the passenger coaches, the other
two covered the conductor, engineer
and fireman with their pistols and COM
PEELED them to 60 TO the express car.
There the robbers commanded the
messenger to open the door of the car,
threatening to break in the doors
should he refuse. After some delay
the robbers were admitted to the ex-
press car. They compelled the mes.
senger to open the safe, and extracted
from it several packages. How much
booty was secured cannot be ascertain
ed. The conductor of the train stated
the bandits secured nothing, save sew
ersl packages OF jewelry. Having &C.
cured these the robbers left the train
and entered the woods. Though sew
cal shots we're fred no one was injured.
The train proceeded to Independence
and Information of the robbery was
telegraphed from there. It is thought
the bandits are now safe out OF the way
There have been three hold ups in the
Blue Springs Cut. The James gang
held up train there in 1881.

The Ancient Cnchanreahla Dollar.

A correspondent asks us why we
give SO marked a preference to the sill
yer dollar Of 371A grains Of pure sill
yer, and reject the proposed "Christi-
ancy dollar" or the Blaine dollar" or
the trade dollar? We shall not UNDER
take now to repeat or restate all OF
them. But the first reason is that the
dollar of 311AA grains pure silver has
been the monetary standard or unit
Of value in this country from
1892 until 1873, period of eighty-onc
years. 1t is the ancient, Interchangeable
dollar of this country.-Chicago Trib-
une, February II, 1873.

Glvo Us More Solid Money.

The prime object in remonetizing
silver is to add to the solid substantial
intrinsic money stock Of the country.
There can't be too much hard money
real money-in circulation. Such an
imitation is stimulating and invigorat-
ing. 1t is at once sign and prop of
national and commercial prosperity.
The simple reconciliation of the sill
YER dollar, with proper provisions for
it's coinage, will contr ibute a steady
stream to the money resources of the
United States.-Chicago Tribune, Jan.
%, 1878.

In the controversies with goldites it
is proper to point out and keep con-
stantly in view the fact, which they IRE

last sunday evening. Ihe body was
taken to Americas on special train
from Atlanta. When the train ar
rived at Americus the entire popula-
ton of the city had gathered at the
station. The vast assemblage stood
in silence with uncovered heads,
to show their respect for the
dead. All the bells in the city
were tolled and added to the solemnity
of tie occasion. The casket was con-
veyed from the special car to the
hearse, which was drawn by four black
horses, each led by sable groom.
The Americas Light Infantry and a
delegation of forty citizens preceded
the hearse and the procession started
to the Methodist church. The build
iugs along the line of march were
draped in mourning. At the church
one hour was devoted by Mr.. Crisp
friends to reviewing the remains.
The remains were accompanied by
Gov. Atkinson and staff, delegations
from Atlanta and other cities Of the
State, members of the Georgia Bar AS

the interior; Congressman Chas. L..

CuIcAGo, july G.-The silver men we're
not prepared for the announcement
Of tho selection Of Senator Hill for the
position OF Temporary chairman by the
national committee. They had counted
confidently upon securing the co opera
ton Of sufficient number Of gold mem
bors Of the committee to secure the
recommendation of Senator Daniel.
When the silver committee held it's
first meeting its members were congrat.
u ating Themselves on tho probability
Of the selection of Senator Daniel. When
they met again in tho evening they
showed plainly that they were disap-
pointed, but they were not nuticeably
discouraged.
They asserted more positively than
ever their determination to secure con
troi Of the temporary organization, re
gardIese OF the action OF the committee
They take the position that the result
was secured by open intimidations. In
terviews between Whitney and Commit.
teeman Norris OF tho District OF Colum-
bia were referred to as specimen OF the
gold mems tactics, and 1t was stated in

The friends Of the administration ara

coming apparent that the shrewd gen.
erals on both sides do not desire to
widen the breach between their follow.
ers. They will make every effort to
avoid the disruption of their party con.
sistent with a firm maintenance of
their opposing views on the single iesue
The contest will be precipitated .be
moment the gavel falls tomorrow. The
gold men had control of the natjona,
committee today despite every effort Of
the silver men to wrcst it from their
grasp and they used it in a way thai can
not but intlame the silver men. By a
vote of q to 90 they placed the Nebraska
sixteen gold delegates on the temporar
roll. They elected Senator Hill for ten.
porary chairman by the same vote, not.
withstanding the protests of the silver
men that being in the majority their
side was entitled to initial uttcrance in
the convention. Hill himself was an
pealed to by his friends among the Silver
leaders, like Senator White of California
and Senator CockreIl of Missouri
not to accept. They explained 10
him how distasteful it would be for
many OF the senator's friends among the
delegates who admired and respected
him to be obliged to oppose his instal
latlon, but Hill would not consent. The
result is that the silver men will suggest
Senator Danie! and Senator Hill may be
humiliated by defeat. 1t is said that il
elected, Senator Hill will perhaps great,
ly surprise those who elected him b.
making speech, which, while it would
oppose free coinage, would advoca.e
to the will of the majority ar
one of the cardinal principles Of demo
cratic faith. But on this point the 81.
yer men have their teeth set. There wa
some talk Of some sort of high handel
parliamentary procedure Of Chairmar

installed over the protest of the conven.
ton, but good parliamentarians dec!gra

committee was appointed to visit absent
delegations and secure further pledges
The committee made the rounds witt
great dispatch, and returned in less thar
an hour, rel lur1ing thai they had pollcd
some Of the missing delegations and had
secured the guarantee of a sufficient
number TO swell the total to .J13. They
also stated that whilc in some cases
they had not been able to make an act
ual pol, on account Of the impossibiIity
of seeing individual delegates. they had
been assured by members of delegations
who were seen that there would be- d
vote Of at least 800. This estimate, il
was stated, was entirely independent of
contests and did not include many other
delegates, - They still claim over 600
votes.
The following resolution WAS unani-
mously adopted:
"Resolved,.. That it is the sense of this
meeting that the interest of the cause of
free silver requires that democrat in
favor of silver should be elected tempo
