The Rogers-Jones Meeting.

John R. Rogers, Populist candidate
for governor, and w. G. Jones, candi-
for congress on the same ticket, adj
dressed a good Republican audience
here last evening. Mr.. Rogers ideas
on the money question are briefly
given elsewhere. He is a gentleman
of good appearance but his arguments
upon public affairs are not such as find
much favor in San Juan county. He
dwelt at some length upon what he
considers the extravaganza Management
of state affairs and supported his posi-
| ton in this respect by quotations from
the admirable messages of Governor
McGraw, who has taken strong
stand for economy and efficiency in
public business.
Mr.. Jones, except as to his views up
on the money question, is Republic
can and his speech was full of tribute
to the greatness and glory of this coun-
try, and could not fail to impress his
hearers with the fact that the cOuntry's
power and influence is largely due to
the wise policies of legislation inaugu-
rated and carried into effect by the
Republican party. Mr.. Jones is per-
haps the best speaker upon the fusion
ticket, and he doubtless presents as
good an argument for cheap money as
the cause he represents affords, but it
Is weak and will not stand the test of
thorough analysis. He lays consider
able stress upon the fall of prices of
silver Immediately following the sus-
pension of silver coinage by the minis
Of India, but he neglects to call his
hearers attention to the fact that with
in a few weeks the price rose very
nearly to the point at which it was
prior to that action. He illustrates by
charts the rise and fall of prices OF
various commodities, and especially of
food products, and endeavors to con-
vince his hearers that the fall in such |
prices since 1873 has been due to silver's |
demonstration, but his argument up
on tins point, while it is perhaps made |
in good faith, is by no means con-
elusive. Mr.. Jones is q we'll read man |
and we believe he knows that the !
general decline in the prices of agricul- |
tural and manufactured products be-
gan Immediately after the civil war,
eight years before the passage of the |
coinage act of 1878, which omitted the |
silver dollar from the list OF coins. |
Diminished prices have been the logi-
cal and inevitable result of the ire
mendous increase in production con-
sequent upon the opening of vast areas |
of the public domain to settlement; re-
ductiOn in the rates of transportation |
of over sixty per cent since 1873; great |
in machinery which have
cneapened the cost not alone of the |
products of agriculture but of all kinds
of manufactured articles, and, in gen
eral, of conditions which have made the |
cost of doing any given volume of
business at least fifty per cent cheaper
today than it was thirty years ago
Mr.. Jones may not be "of his base"
but his base is off.
Mr.. Jones' speech is one that ought
to make any man proud to be an AM
erican citizen, and a Republican.

In recent letter to the manufacturers
Mr.. w. F. Benjamin, editor of the Spec
tatOr, RushfOrd, n. Y, says: ut may be
IA pleasure to you to know the high esteem
in which Cbamberlain's medicines are
held by the people of your own state,
where they must be best known. An aunt
of mine, who resides at Dexter, Iowa, was
about to visit me few years since, and
before leaving home wrote me, asking if
they were sold here, stating if they were
not she would bring quantity with her,
as she did not like to be without Them"
The medicines referred to are Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. famous for its cures
of colds and Group; Chamberlain's Pain
Balm, for rheumatism, lame back, pains
in the side and chest, and Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy for
bowel complaints. These medicines have
been i'm constant use in Iowa for almost
quarter of century. The people have
learned that they are articles of great
worth and merit, and unequaled by any
other. They are for sale by druggists.

The New Hook Spoon Free to All.

read in the Christian Standard that
Miss A. NJ. Fritz, Station A., st. Louis.
Mo-, would give an elegant hook spoon to
anyone sending her ten 2-cent stamps. I
[ sent for one and found it 50 useful that
1 showed it to my friends, and made S13. 90
in two hours, taking orders for the spoon.
The hook spoon is household necessity
1t cannot slip into the dish or cooking
vessel, being held in the place by hook
on the back. The spoon is something
that housekeepers have needed ever since
spoons were first invented. Anyone can
get sample spoon by sending ten 2-cent
stamps to Miss Fritz. This is splendid
way to make money around home.

A Churn That Churns in One Minute.

have been in the dairy business all my life
and have many mes churned for an hour be-
fore butter would appear, so when heard of a
churn that would churn in a minute, 1 conclud
ed to try it. Every day for a week 1 used it,
and not only could churn in minute, but
got more and better butter than with the COM
ton to butter makers. The churn works easily,
and will do an ordinary churning in less than
60 seconds. I have sold two dozen of these
churns in the past month Every butter maker
that has seen me churn in less than a minute
has bought one. You can obtain all desired in
formation regarding the churn by addressing
]. F. Casey & Co., ST. Louis, and they will give
you prompt and courteous attention.
