Senator Pettigrew said the balance
of trade in this country with other
countries was greater under the Viii
son law than under the Mckinley
law. Major Mckinley's letter of ac-
ceptance says oureXports were great
er in 1892 than in any other year of
the country's history. Under the
Mckinley law for the first fifteen
months this country exported 214
millions worth of goods more than
we shipped in. And the first fifteen
months of the Wilson bill we only
shipped out 81 millions more than
we shipped in, so the balance oftrade
for the first Is months was 1877
millions greater under the Mckinley
law than under the Wilson law.
Very few of Pettigrew's most impor-
tant points will stand investigation.

KELLEY at Miller.


didate for congress to speak lat Mil
Ter Friday, and So voters turned out
TO the rally" and they were mostly
town people and republicans. This
was the first frost which free
silver friends will admit that even
they themselves could see, although
the leaders well know that the silver
wave has been rapidly fading
away FOR some time. Mr.. Kelley,
their speaker, ran for congress two
years ago, and OF course was left
then rs he will be this year. His
speech contained a number of errors
which any moderately we'll read per-
son could readily discover. He tried
to excuse Cleyeland's bond issue by
saying that Secretary Foster OF Har-
rison's cabinet ordered plates made
to issue 3 per cent bonds, and that
Cleveland took the plates and COM
pleted the work by issuingthe bonds.
This is gross ignorance because Cleve-
land issued no 3 per cent bonds, but
AZ per cent. Secretary Foster desired
to issue , per cent bonds, and take
up dearer ones, but congress would
not pass a special act for that pur-
pose, so Foster ordered the plates de-
stroyeJ.
Mr.. Kelley denied that the country
was prosperous in 1S901-2 under
Harrison and Mckinley protection.
Mr.. Goodykoontz also a pop speak
Ter said it was prosperous during
those years, when he was here recent
ly. Take your choice. However it
is q matter of such recent history
that any ane man ought to know
it. MI. Keley also said that if free
silver would drive gold out he believ-
ed wheat would 90 to u cents per
bushel, but he did not believe that
free coinage of silver would drive
gold out. OF course he is en- titled to
that opinion, but experience OF this
and all other countries proves that
he is mistaken. Mr.. Kelley wanted
to expand the basic money in this
country "to make more money" and
then referred to Mexico's free silver
What n conclusionl Mexico only
has So for each inhabitant and the
United States has $24 for each in
habitant! Shall we reduce our mon
ey to Mexico's? Hardly.
Mr.. Kelley had evidently been
warned against the newspapers here
and appeared to be a little afraid
that they might disprove his state
ments, so he told his auditors that
newspapers lied and were not to be
trusted. At this Jo. 10. and afriend
of his cheered vociferously-and then
looked foolish. Our populist friends
are in a sorry boat sure, when they
have to boycott newspapers, and eau
ton their followers not to- read or
believe anything found in opposition
papers. What a spectacle in this
day OF intelligence! Is it any won
der the democrats fooled them, made
light OF them, and finally swallowed
them? The proper thing for any
man to do is to read and hear both
sides, then decide intelligently for
himself.

Perhaps some pioneer hunter or some
Indian OF hundred years ago had shot

hung it by the horns in the limbs of Il
young oak, expecting to come back soon
and claim it, But either he forgot where
he left it or else some accident happened
which prevented his return, and the
horns remained in the tree year after

them.
The part of the tree containing the
horns was sent to the museum of the
