The Ohio Farmer.

The efforts of the "advance agent
of prosperity" have not yet had any
effect upon the Ohio farmer, The
writer, after spending a week In
one of the richest farming sections
OF the state, is unable to point to

the election has materially benefit.
ed the farmers In any particular.
1t is true that the price of wheat
has advanced In the past month,
but the advance was OF very little
advantage to the Ohio farmers for
the simple reason that nearly all
sold their wheat before the advance
took place. They were compelled
to sell to pay taxes and meet other
debts. Although new corn is quot
ed q few cents higher in cities, it Is
being sold for i8 cents in Ohio
towns in the best farming districts
and there Is little hope that corn,
will bring more than 20 cents this
winter. Few farmers can afford to
hold II until next summer and the
prospect is far from encouraging

TO show that the value Of farm

Oh, How They Hurt.

Neuralgia pains are often so acute,
that thepoor sufferer becomes, almost,
frenzied with the intensity OF the pain.
Salvation Oil will instantly relieve and
eitectually cure neuralgia, so there
is no reason why a moments pain
should be endured. Mr.. Jacob Klein,
1895 Main St., Evansville, Ind, writes:
MY wife suffered from neuralgia for
seven years and since she used Saliva
tion Oil, she has not had a spell. L
think 1t is the best liniment / have ever
tried, and would not be without
bottle of it in the house. had tho
rheumatism for five years and had tried

that Salvation Oil did me more good
than any other remedy" Salvation

THE ONO DEMOCRAT FRIDAY NOVEMBER ~ 18gs

were compelled to make show con-
clusively that farm values have
declined d one-half in few years.
With the prices Of farm products
decreased one.half, it was newt
able that the value OF farms would
decrease. a favorite statement of
gold standard advocates Is that the
cost of production having been de-
creased by improved farm imple-
monts, the farmer can afford to sell
his products for less than he did
years ago. The cheapening Of the
cost Of production has, however,
been greatly exaggerated. One Of
the most intelligent farmers Of
southern Ohio has for years kept
an account Of expense incurred in
the purchase of farm machinery
and i'm repairing machinery and he
says that the expense Of raising
crops has not been reduced penny
by the new inventions. Farm
work is unquestionably much more
rapidly done than it once was, but
it is doubtful whether the cost Of
production has been materially de-
creased.
With no prospect of higher prices
and with taxes and other fixed
charges remaining the same, the
outlook for the Ohio farmer is not
bright. Plain Dealer.

A True Patriot.

81 love my country so much,
love mankind so well that / shall
rejoice if the result Of the late cam
pal IN proves was wrong and my
opponent was right. Because il he
can make tho government better
than could have m ade il, then my
children and your children will en-.
joy the benefits" William j. Bryan
in his speech at Denver, Nov. q.
There is patriotism, there is the
expression of man who loves his
fellow man. We ask some of these
narrow minded partisans that have
been nagging at the Plain Dealer
and who during the campaign tried
to belittle this magnificent, broad
minded patriot, William j. Bryan
to read over and over the words
that we have quoted from his
speech delivered i'm Denver. Pa
triOtism is broader than partisan
ship; patriotism, while from its def
inition 1t means love of country,
at the same time, it comprehends
love of humanity and of all those
principles and institutions which
60 to the unfolding Of all that can
contribute for good to organized
society. Such a man will always
find place in the hearts of his
countrymen, and may be consider
cd as one of the immortals. We
pity the poor souls Of these narrow
partisans that limit their devotion
to party and party only. Principles
are eternal, parties are as change
able as the years; principles in
spire men to do and to become
something. They are like the sun.
light on the flower or the seed that |
brings forth bloom and fruit. Pa.
triotism Is founded on principle |
and he that hath it not ard is but
a partisan is poor indeed.
1t is for this reason that we have
advocated and will continue to ad.
vocate and support all that in any
way tends topromote the happiness
and prosperity of the people,
whether it comes from a Republic.
can or Democratic administration.
All wisdom certainly is not in the
Democratic or the Republican
party, but there is much of good in
both. Now when the Republicans
are in power we say give them
chance and let them prove that
they are the friends of the people;
that under their administration
prosperity will come and that
Major Mckinley is the "advance
agent of prosperity" as he has been
heralded. That is the doctrine
which Mr.. Bryan teaches. We did
not take our cue from Mr.. Bryan,
however. Long before he had ex-
pressed these opinions the PLAIN
Dealer declared itself on that
ground. Bigoted, narrow minded
politicians may think that what
they fought for in the last cam.
paign is all there is in human life
or human progress. Such men
have been and probably will be
mistaken. For the principles OF
Democracy, as they have been as
they are now and ever will be, we
will stand unflincEing. One of the
cardinal principles of Democracy
IL, that we are to abide by the will
of the majority until that will may
have been expressed in some other
form. All honor to William j.
Bryan for standing true to that
doctrine. Made as he is, he could
not stand elsewhere.-Plain De aler.

MAS sACHUsETTs NOTES.
A CharIemont Mans Disappearan,


The whereabouts of Preston Baker of
Charlemont are unknown. Mr. Baker has
not been seen since he left town Jan. H.
He was for many years the village miller,
owning large brick mill. He has gained
notoriety in recent years by attempting to
locate ore in the Western Massachusetts
hills by means of witch hazel stick and a
divining rod. The new mill and mining
ventures depleted Mr.. Bakers resources,
and Dec. Is the mill was conveyed to W.
n Potter q Co. Of Greenfield, of whom he
had bought quantities of grain, giving
notes. Mr.. Baker retained the deed to
have a change made relating to the water
power. Potter q Co have not received
the deed. Two days before leaving Mr.
Baker mortgaged his property to the Shell
burne Falls savings bank $1,000 and sold
his book accounts to T.. X. Goodnow. Pot
ter & Co. do not intend to lose the amount
of the debt and have attached the prop
erty for $780, 900, and an action of contract
will be brought in the superior court. Last
summer Mr.. Baker was fined 800 in the
superior court for an attempted bribery of
the state highway commission, he having
offered the board $50 if they would order
a half-mile of road built in Charlemont at
the expense of the state.

A Girl Criminal.

Mary Amy Rivers, the girl who is under
arrest at Brooklyn, n. Y, charged with
raising the check of John Derege from $40
to $1,000, is well known in Athol, where
her parents live. The girl was arrested
two years ago for immortality and sent to
the reform school. She served her term
and returned to Athol. She remained
there only a short time, and since then is
supposed to have been living with Derege.
She returned home for visit last Christ
mas, and her expenditures at that time
caused much comment in Athol. She ex-
pended over 500 on her fathers house,
gave her brother $50, bought complete
outfit of clothing for one sister and fine
dress for the other. Miss Rivers is only Is.
The prisoner was discharged from Gus

Jesse c. Thompson, while delirious with
typhoid pneumonia at Albany, n. Y,
Monday night, attacked Superintendent
Congdon of the homeopathic hospital with
a heavy water pitcher and fractured his
skull. He then attacked two physicians,
choking one and nearly throwing the other
from a window before he was overpowered.
Thompson is 20 years old, and his home is
in Shelburne Falls. He has been travel
ing the past two months for the Vermont
Maple Sugar association of Springfield,
Mass.
Thompson is a native of Halifax, but his
home has beer for several years in Shell
burne Falls, where his mother and sister
live. He was known as an athlete at Shell
burne Falls. He played on the foot bal
team and was an expert wrestler. 1t wa:
thought for time that he would not re

TuhercuIosIs AZ Gil.

The fine herd of Hostein cattle owned
by L. l., Hastings of Gill are badly diseased
with tuberculosis. Ten have been tested
and found diseased, and the other 10 have
been quarantined. This is all that can be
done at present as the appropriation for
the use of the cattle commission has been
exhausted. The legislature will probably
make temporary appropriation of $50, 900
soon, and then the rest of the herd will be
tested and If found TO be diseased will be
killed. Mr.. Hastings has been breeding
thoroughbred Holsteins - years, and he
believes the disease was introduced into
his herd by cattle which he bought about
a year ago. Mr.. Hastings's herd was
shown at leading fairs last fall and won
many first premiums. AT the Franklin
county fair Mr.. Hastings's prize money
was $52. His cream has been sold to the
Montague creamery and the skim milk fed
to swine.
