THE REALTY MARKET
a Steady Demand for City Lots and Country
Lands

There has been no special activity in real
estate circles during the week, but sales,
both in city and country, have been report
cd in about the usual number. The late
rain. though but q little one, had the effect
of allnying fears of poor season and the
result is little increase of demand and a
little hardening of prices by holders. There
is very little speculative buying of lands of
either class, the demand for city lots being
confined almost entirely to lots for imme
date improvement, and the seeker afte
country lands combining his inquiries tor
amall tracts, improved or partially so suit
able for farming Or fruit growing.
Generally speaking, country lands seem
to be more distinctly on the up grade than
inside property. The seasons orange crop
las been mostly sold at fairly satisfactory
y ices, and it is regarded as certain that
the remainder of the fruit will find pay
ing market. The trees are now in bios
som and the fruit il setting in manner to
promise good crop next year. There is
also some movement of dried fruit and q
promise that last years output will be alb
sorbed before the new crop will be ready
for market. The market for fruits and
vegetables is widening out somewhat, and

No More Wool Pulling.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: As we often
hear the assertion made that the people are
taxed to death to pay the pensions, would
like you to tell us in what way cent of
the peoples taxes goes to pay pensions. If
you cannot do SO. can.
Every Union soldier now living in several
of the Southern States, who pays any State
tax, helps TO pay pensions to rebels who are
pen-ioned by their States, and still never
heard anyone say he was robbed 10 pension
those who tried to ruin the country and
were traitors. But the same old gang" is
ready to cut our throats. though we have
come South and are helping to pay the taxes
to pension their needy ones.
We were told by the rebels while in An
dersonville prison that Andy johnson had
issued proclamation that all rebels from a
Colonel up should be treated as traitors, and
think any other Nation but this would
have enforced law similar to that Was
such proc amalion issued; aud why not
carried out, if SO?
Boys, vote for Comrade Mac, and don't
have the wool pulled over your eyes any
more.-H. s. LOWRY, Co. E, 18th Ill.

An Object Lesson.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: am glad
to see you are sound on the money question
in this campaign; and THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE always seems to me to be sensible
in all advice it gives. l wish to make q
suggestion and get your opinion about it.
As it seems the bankers and manufac-
turers are generally opposed to the Chicago
platform and candidates, why could they
not agree and cooperate and from now
until November retire all gold and green
backs behind their vault doors and pay out
only silver, which they can get from the
Treasury free of transportation If they
would do this thoroughly it would put q
great deal, if not all, the silver dollars in
circulation, and be an object lesson to the
voters, and change more votes from free
coinage TO sound money than any dozen
cam paign lecturers in the land ] believe if
this plan was persistently carried out it
would change a million votes from free
coinage to sound money on election day,
and / cannot see why it is NOT practical /;
if it is not, tell me why not Silver dollars
are a legal tender, and it would place them
where very few of them would ever get
back to the u. S. Treasury again. If this
simple suggestion is worth anything, push
it. Yours in F., C. and L.-C. C. CLARK,
san Angelo, lex.
Comrade Clark's suggestion is an excel
lent one, and he has probably seen in the
Geographic news that the great Hecla and
Calumet mines have already begun to act
upon that idea, aud have ordered 1S tons
of silver dollars to pay out to their 1000
employees. Every week each one will re-
ceive from one to three pounds of silver to
carry home with him.-EDITOR NATIONAL

Good Advice from Utah.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: To the
veterans of the war of the rebellion: The
election for President is rapidly approach
ing, at which we must signify by our votes
our choice for the man who shall stand at
the head Of the Nation for the next four
years.
The election of Maj. Mckinley, the vet
eran of many battles, who has passed
through the fiery furnace and been found
true to his country's flag, is now very nee
essary.
Comrades, do not make mistake, as was
done the last Presidential election. Let
us contrast the records of the two men.
Maj. Mckinley showed himself among the
bravest, the most untiring, the most zeal
GUS, the most faithful. His whole heart
was in the cause for which he fought, and
no man did better service on a score OF bat
tlefelds than Maj. Mckinley. Since the
war his heart has ever been true to the men
who stood with him upon the battlefield.
Veterans, be true to the gallant and true
Mckinley, and do not throw your votes
away for one who did no service for his
country. I would say to al the old vet
Grams, Take the advice of THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE, for in so doing you will not 90

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: 4 Please
attend to this for me, and l will manage to
pay you ont Of my first draft, through some
New York house. as / cannot buy less than
a $50 draft in this country, and then have
to pay 800 in Guatemala silver for every
dollar in United States money. Put that in

silver. Send some Free. Silver men here,
where they will have to pay 129 cents a
pound for potatoes, IS cents a pound for

pound for common and 37I cents for good
beef. % cents a pound for sugar not SO good

these prices because we have protection,
much higher than any prOtectio1 ever exist
