FUSION,

Every Silver man in Nevada is in
favor Of fusion, but so far no practical
steps have bee taken to bring about
any deinate understanding in that
direction. In view of the short time
left to arrange these matters, the AP-
PEA makes the following sugge ton.
There are now four separate factions
in this State favoring free silver, the
Silver party, Populist party and
the two factions of tho Democratic
party, ont known as the Heating fac
ton and the other the Dennis faction
MI. Kinkead. OF Virginia City, is

mittee, Judge Heaiy. of Carson, is

Gratis and John Dennis, Of Reno, is
Chairman of the other.
The APPEAL suggests that these four
men meet il Carson on Saturday next
at 2 o'clock, at the Office Of Governor
Sadler to discuss the most available
methods Of fusin2 The vote OF these

HOW FARMER SEES

A gentleman who spent a day 10
Kansas City a week ago., said be
visited the market place in that city.
A salesman, apparently engaged for
the purpose offered Il load Of corn for
sale. There were no bidders aud the
farmer drove off with his com. The
ext offer was a wagoD-iOad OF eally
rose potatoes, twenty-five bushels, III
bulk. Bids started az four cents per
bushel and the load sold for eight
cents per bushel, two dollars for the
load. Our informant inquired Of the
farmer if he could afford to sell pOta-
toes at eight cents per bu7hel He
answered that he could not, but that
II of his boys needed ii pair OF
trousers and a pair Of shoes, and he
had to sell the potatoes to GET moucy
to buy clothing. Il am a Rrpuhli-
can sail he, but I am going t,
vote for Bryan as the Ouly relief Nc
KinlPy Offs me is to raise the price
of the trousers and shoes, while, if we
have freecoinage, [ will get a higher
price for 10y potatoes and can afford
to pay a little more for my trousers
and shoes"
These are the object lessons that
farmers are getting all over the cOun-
try. They have to sell The proiucts of
their farms and their labor at less
than cost. This fact is apparent to
the dullest intellect, and all the logic
of Mr.. Hanna's literary bureau can
not disprove it. They know they are
working for what they eat and wear.
and they attribute the cause TO the
adoption OF the single gold standard,
which reduces the volume of money
one-half, aud depreciat-s the price 81
everything that is produced on the
farm, whether it be wheat. hay, pork.
beef or wool.

doubt il a more scathing and merci-
less expose of rascality and corruption

1t is not merely a d~enunciation of
corrupt methods, but gives the names

gaze the life of a man of the Boss
Tweed stripe and lays before the

PASSING OF THE PIANO.
Flat Life Has Relegated 1t to the Rear.
and the Typewriter Succeeds.

Flat Life Has Relegated 1t to the Rear.
and the Typewriter Succeeds.
You can rent piano now in New York
cheaper than you can rent a typewriter
Either there is greater surplus of pianos
than usual OF there is a marked falling off
In the demand Maybe 1t Is both. You
can get piano IA low as 81 a month. A
very good instrument can be had for $3
And these prices can be applied on the pur-
chase of new one. A ypewriter-second-
hand at that-will cost you s. month.
Is there any significance in thisS Have
women begun TO give up the piano for the
typewriter2 The latter can be bought new
for from $50 To 1925, while the piano comes
at from $500 to 1000. On the basis Of
the typewriter the piano ought to rent for
at least S25 month. On the basis of the
piano tie typewriter ought to rent for 90
cents q month.
The piano has unquestionably met with
severe setbacks recently. Not only has the
typewriter opened more useful field for
young women than was before offered by
the piano, and consequently withdrawn
many of the sex from the career ornamen-
tai. 1t has been supplemented by the in
creasing mania for out OF door sports. In
stead of sitting down and twisting piano
stool, as was the custom of her sisterhood
of generation or so ago, the modern
young woman mounts her wheel and takes
a spin in the park and the risk of arrest
for scorching on the Boulevard Flat life
is death TO the piano. The limited space
forbids musical instrument that en-
croaches so materially on the necessities of
the family and which makes as much noise
as brass band. Besides the courts have
interdicted the piano in fiat life. 1t has
been legally decided "a nuisance. Com
plaint anywhere is Immediately followed
by suppression.
The banjo and the guitar and the plain
tive mandolin ornament the little fiat par
lor.
The piano Is for roomier homes and for
life dissociated with the scramble for
daily bread and butter New York Her
aid
