CAUSE OF LOW PRICES.
Cheap Land, Machinery and Increased
Production Responsible.

Production Responsible.
1t is an interesting circumstance that
at time when the silverites are at
tempting to convince the farmers of
this country that the low prices of grain
have been caused by the gold standard
the people of England are celebrating
the jubilee or fiftieth anniversary of the
repeal Of the corn laws. That repeal
took the tariff off grain and gave the
people of England cheaper food, though
for time it was prejudicial to the
farming class. But the statesmen of
England saw that it was better that the
people should be fed than that one class
of producers should receive exorbitant
prices for their grain. 1t was the repeal
of the corn laws that lowered the price
of English wheat, for the English
farmer could not compete with the
product of the new and cheap wheat
lands of the United States. He was
therefore obliged to abandon to great
extent the cultivation of wheat and use
his lands for grazing, cattle and sheep
raising and in other ways that would
pay better.
From 1S46 to 1860 the English
farmers felt and suffered from the COM
petition of the farmers of New England
and Of the middle states. From 1860
until 1885 the farmers Of the New Eng
land and middle states in like manner
suffered from the competition Of the
farmers Of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan,
Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Mime.
sofa, who could raise still cheaper
wheat. They in turn are suffering from
the competition of the rich wheat lands
of the Dakotas and the great northwest,
where one man with the aid Of ma
chinery can do the work of ten under
the old system. And not only do they
have the competition of our own lands,
but also the competition of Argentina,
India, Australia, Russia and Siberia,
where wheat lands to an enormous ex-
tent have been opened to cultivation.
Take Argentina, for instance. In
1889 the entire product Of wheat was
only 1850, COO bushels. Last year it
was over so, coo, 900, of which $1,000,
900 was exported. Now it is the export
able surplus of grain that fixes the price,
and that is settled in Liverpool, and
the American farmer can only obtain
the Liverpool price for his wheat, less
the cost of transportation thither. In
that market he comes in competition
with all the world, and he must be sat-
isfed with the price there or he must
quit raising wheat. Cheap lands, ma
chinery and improvement in transporta-
ton facilities have lessened the cost of
wheat growing the world over, and it
consequently must be sold for low prices
The American farmers must do as their
English brethren commenced to do 90
years ago-diversify their industries.
Let them not think that the money
standard is the cause Of the low prices
1t is not nor will any change in it do
them any good. Chicago Times-Her-

BAKERS ICE WATER,
Cereals Mixed Therein.

Not all the harm said to come from
iced tea is caused by the cold. Many
persons who suffer from stomach and
nervous disorders, find great relief by
abandoning tea and coffee entirely. 1t is
a common practice of the bakers who
work all day over hot stoves at the Post
UNI Cereal factory at Battle Creek Mich.
to stir cereals into the jars of ice water.
Experience proves that very cold water
can be used quite freely in this way with
out the i'll effects likely to follow the free
use of plain ice water. This should teach
a lesson. If one must have iced drinks
ut meals during the hot weather, take all
the advantage possible and use Postum
Cereal, the grain coffee, iced with sugar
and few drops of lemon juice. This
gives delicious cooling drink which is
food in liquid state and very nourish-
ing and Strengthening. Postum will agree
with weak stomachs that suffer from tea
or coffee, and is great nerve builder,
taken either hot or iced; try it.
There is but one genuine original Post
um Cereal coffee, with multitude of inn
itations offered as 'just as good" For

A Poor Argument Tor Trco Silver.

Tho free coinage GSitasors ask the
people to vote for the lG TO | scheme on
the ground that the bankers, manufac-
turels and merchants arc al in favor of
o sound currency. eff the banking and
business interests are opposed to free
silver" say the cheap dollar advocates,
"the farmers and workers should sup
port it, There must be something good
for the poor i'll this free coinage scheme
just because the rich people do not want
it."
OF all unreasonable and demagogic
pleas for 90 cent dollars this is the
worst. An exactly similar argument
would bo demand on the part of the
millions who do not own homes or
buildings of any kind that all houses
should be burned down because it would
hurt property owners. There is no doubt
but that every man in America who
owns a building would say, if asked,
that he is opposed to having his proper
ty destroyed. But that would be no rea-
son why the people who1have no homes
should favor arson.
The attempt to create prejudice in
favor of debt reputation because bust
ness men and bankers believe in hon
esty can never succeed with fair mind
ed, honorable citizens. They will decide
the silver question on its merits and
will not be led astray by appeals to one
class to vote for cheap and trashy money
merely because it is favored by another
class.

Poor Eait.

Among the bats to the Populist free
silver coinage trap is the following state
ment going the rornds in the farmers
newspapers west and south: "a Mexi-
can farmer sends 100 bushels Of wheat
to London and gets 60 gold dollars,
which he exchanges in Mexico for
1870 silver dollars, which he pays to-
ward the discharge of his mortgage,
while the farmer in Kansas, across the
line, sends his 100 bushels and gets his
60 gold dollars and can only use his 60
toward his American mortgage. Now
the facts are that the price of sugar,
flour, hardware and, in short, all the
necessities of life are double in Mexico
in consequence of the deprecated money,
and the money the farmer gets on his
mortgage there is only so cent dollars.

RAILROAD wRscKlNe.
Democratic Administration Called Halt
In Construction.


In Construction.
The records Of the new railroad build
ing in the United States in 1896, a6-
cording to The Railroad Gazette, show
that III miles of road have been built
in the first half of the year. The total
is not very different from the amount Of
new railroad which has been construct
ed in the first half of any year since
the Democratic administration in 1898
called halt to progress and prosperity.
Last year 622 miles of new road were
built up to July l, and the record in
1894, only 495 miles between Jan.
and July 1, showed how decisively ex-
tension work had been stopped. Figures
as to the new track built in the first
half of the year for seven years past
make some interesting comparisons:

III GO d95 l,025 1884 1.704 2,055
1t will be seen how greatly railroad
extension has been checked by the con-
ditions of the past few years, and there
are no substantial signs that any large
relative increase is to be expected in
the near future. Only with the restora-
ton Of protection and prosperity can we
look for return of the expansion Of
our railroad systems such as occurred in
the early years of the present decade.

There is not one portion of our organism

them is placed the important function Of
filtering the blood Of the impurities which
naturally form in the regular action of life
and digestion. The Kidneys are consequently
termed the sewerage of the system; clog up
this sewer, and the blood becomes tainted
with poisonous uric acid which brings on
disease in many forms. The back is the first
to show this stoppage. From there comes
the warning note; it should be needed, and
the kidneys receive prompt attention.

the kidneys quickly, relieve the back of pains
