sLesson Yesterday.

Col. BJalmar Kohior Should Have Loaned
sLesson Yesterday.
That little incident of yesterday
should serve as . lesson to his off,
ciousness, Col. Hjalmar Kohler,
county clerk. A public official
should have better judgment than to
have entrusted a duty Of SO much i'm
portance to a republican city chair
man. and he should have spared his
son the unpleasantness above all
others. If through stupidity it was
necessary 10 break the official seal in
any of the precincts, the clerk should
have sent a deputy from his office or
have discharged the duty himself.
II Col. Hjalmar Kohler would attend
a little more closely to the general
interest of the public instead Of
imagining that the republican party
is all that is worth serving. he
would not have given his Office at the
court house the appearance OF dime
museum front by the display OF cam
paign material and he would not have
taken the pains to have arranged the
tickets on the ballot with the regular
democratic and gold standard so
close together as to occasion CON-
fusion. The colonel has got too
much politics in his head. and the
fact that no citizen of the county
can enter his office without being
confronted with some ensiguia of
repu blicsnism, is quite in contrast
with the modest appearance OF his
aeighbor, Circuit Clerk CANDLES
Office across the hall.
But the only time Kohler has been
known to have politics out Of his
head while he has been in Office was
when he was insisting that the new
court house be so arranged as to
place the Office in which he appears
to imagine he has q life tenure ar
ranged to his best advantage posi-.

instead of 80 cents: his oats for 20 cents,
instead Of 10 cents a bushei. and so on.
would other condition be such as to make
this fact of any advantage to him? Mr.
Bryan admitted on the 9th of last June
in a lecture on bimetallism delivered in
Iowa that business depression and panic
would follow the enactment OF a law au-
thori2ing free and unlimited coinage OK
silver. How long, l would like to know,
would such business depression and panic
last? Would 1t last long enough FOR my
farmer friend to fan so far behind In his
interest payments as to lose his farm en-
tirely? Should he survive the immediate
effects of free coinage, would his chance
for escape from the burden of his mort
gage be better than now? He would have
to buy and sell in the same markets as
now. If he got more he would have to
pay more Conditions would certainly
adjust themselves upon the new basis.
and he would find himself in no better
position to pay of his mortgage than be-
fore. In one respect he would find his po-
sition much worse. If in nothing else. He
would find 1t utterly impossible to renew
his loan as he had been able to do. Thus
free coinage promises a plunge into dis
aster at the start. and fails to show that
the condition of the farmer will be i'm
proved at the outcome. This Is no time
for the adoption of any theory that will
unsettle business more than it is now un-
settled. The farmer and the laborer are
the least able to endure increased hard
times. and they above all others should be
most active in preventing the calmity of
free silver coming upon the country.

SILVER AND THE FARMER.

There is q deal of philosophy in the let
ter which William II. Michael recently
printed in the Washington Post. Says he
A Nebraska homestcader, an old acquaint-
ance of mine contributes bit of liter
ature to the campaign, which, in its way,
Is rather interesting. He says: 81 am in
debt ana If the free coinage of silver will
benefit me as a debtor | am in for it," He
goes on to say that some years ago he
borrowed $3.50 and gave a mortgage OH his
farm to secure it. The land had been
given him by the government as a home
stead. With most of the money he par
chased young stock, which was in n fair
way to discharge the debt, when the
droughty seasons came on and compelled
him to dispose of it at q sacrifice. Rails
ing nothing to live on he was obliged to
use up the money he got for the cattle
to subsist his family until something could
be produced. Thus the mortgage became
q fixture on the land. He says: IL am
sure | cannot pay off this mortgage by
raising wheat and selling at 80 cents a
bushel. or by raising oats and selling them
at 10 cents a bushel, or by raising potatoes
and selling them at - cents a bushel.
cannot borrow any more money on my
land, for 1t is loaded down to the guards.
If free silver will double up the price on
what l can raise l might be able to pay off
the mortgage and start in again"
Here is o real case--one which illustrates
many thousands of others to be met with
in almost every state In the Union. This
farmer is tempted to vote for free silver
because he is told by the free silver ora
tors that the success of their policy will
accomplish what Bryan and other free
traders promised four years ago tariff
reform would certainly bring about. Then
it was free trade" and now IL is free sill
