4 son OF GRANT.
Jesse II. Enrolls Himself as a People s
Party Adherent.

In the Populist county convention at
San Diego IA great sensation was
caused by j. Wade Mcdonald, one of
the delegates, reading the following
letter from Jesse Il. Grant, son of Gen.
L. s. Granti
"SAN DIEGO, Cal, Sept. 1, lS96.-My
Dear Judge: | have noticed within UGH
interest your withdrawal from the
Democratic party and espousal of the
Peoples Party. This action meets my
approval, since | have concluded to en-.
roll myself i'm the same cause. The
financial plank in the Republican plat
form must drive from that party every
one who believes as | do, and the an.
archical plank in the Democratic plat
form must lose to it any person who
believes in protection of American cit
liens at home as well as abroad. The
platform of the Peoples Party, on the
contrary, has no Objectionable princi
pies, and seems to offer political
home that any American can proudly
enter. Yours truly,
JESSE II. GRANT"

BERLIN, Sept. j.-The bicycle man
of Germany are greatly
alarmed at the progress which Ameri-
can wheels have made in this country
during the past few months, and they
have adopted novel methods in getting
the better of the American competi-
ton. American firms have been heavy
advertisers in German papers, but now
their advertisements are refused, be-
cause the German manufacturers
threaten to Withdraw their advertise.

The German papers are taking the
matter up and are urging that the
duty on American wheels be increased
\ petition to that effect will be pre-
scented to the reichstag at its coming
session. Thus the matter stands al
present, but as the Americans firms
have contracted with some of the pa
pers which now refuse their adver.

The Golf Arm.

But one thing was wanting to the
game of golf. We have, remarks a Lon
don paper, watched it spreading south
ward from Scotland, over the continent
Of Europe, to India, South Africa,
America and all parts of the world and
have admired its persistent progress.
But still the game did not seem some
how to take first class rank. Outside
Scotland it still seemed something of "a
parvenu, for it had not got its own spe-
cial disease, its private and ennobling
form of govt. Football and tennis have
both added to the list of obscure dis
eases, and bicycling has contributed its
hump, its glare and its hand. Golting
stood alone, but that reproach has now
been removed, for the medical authori-
ties have decided that golf arm" is a
real disease i'll itself and not, as was at
first feared, mere common sprain,
brought about by violent and unwonted
exercise. This discovery may be looked
upon as the apotheosis of golf and as
finally setting the seal upon its fame
and repute.

Populist Statistics Which Prove Sound
Money Statements.
The Arena, aPopulist magazine, pub
fishes a series of pictures intended to
show the great decrease in the purchas-
ing power of a bale of cotton, owing TO
the alleged characterization of silver.
The money value Of the first bale is given
as $416. 90 N 1866. The next i'll the
same series is for 1870, when the money
value had shrunk to $119.9 80. Other
pictures give the varying values down
to 1894, the conclusion from the whole
being that the lack of free silver has
caused the fall in the price of cotton.
How false this argument is can be
seen by looking at the figures quoted.
Between 1865 and 1870 the price of cot
ton fell from SO. 3S cents per pound to
23. SO cents. By 1878, the year Of the
"crime," the price had gone down to
Is. so cents. In other words, the money
value of a bale of cotton shrank from
Sale. 80 in 1866 to 1914, a difference
Of 1922. 90, while the country had free
coinage Of silver at l6 to /. Since that
time the fall in price has been much
less, having been only from $94 in 1878
TO $50 in 1896 at the present quota

The history of cotton prices shows.
therefore. that under free silver the
price of a bale Of cotton declined 1922. 80,
