Alpha Messer, Esq, Secy, etc.
My Dear Sir;-On my return home to day
find your esteemed favor of the ninth
inst, and in reply would say that believe
in making all state expenditures as small as
is consistent with an efficient administra-
ton of the state government; and while
the state cannot afford TO pursue parsi-
monious course either with its institutions
or officers, at the same time the strictest
economy should be practiced in all depart
ments, and official salaries should be lin
tied to a fair compensation for services
actually rendered. The times are hard and
taxes should be reduced as much as they
can be and pay as we go. l remain,
Your Obedient Servant

Mr.. Miller's denupciaton of Platt's
attack upon Mckinley finds ready echo
in Washington among the New York
ers, for prominent members Of the del
egation have condemned and deplored
Platt's remarkable position. Some of
the New York congressman have
openly said that Mr.. Plat has lost his
head, and that defeat and the knowl-
edge that he is no longer boes except
in name have made him unaccountable
for his utterances.
Senator Quay announces his friend
ship to Mckinley and refuses to be
drawn into Mr.. Platt's troubles. The
homes of Mckinley and Quay are not
far distant, and the Pennsylvania poll
tician expresses his intention to make
neighborly call on his Ohio friend.
Mr.. Quay expresses his confidence in
McKinley's soundness on the money
question. There is wide difference
between a "bc SIS" of the Plat and one
of the Quay type. In the present and
in other instances this difference has
been manifest.

STICKNEY.
ROCHESTER,, W., May 4, 1896.
Sir:-At the annual meeting of the State
Grange in December last, resolutions were
presented and unanimously adopted relat-
ing to retrenchment in public expenditures
in this state and a reduction Of official sal
aries. In view OF your position before the
people as a candidate for governor of the
state, I am instructed by the executive
committee of the State Grange to call your
attention to these resolutions Ia COPY of
which enclOse) and ask an expression of
your views on the question involved. In
this connection l desire to say that this &C
ton, on the part of the members of
the grange, is prompted by none other
than sense of duty which the farm
ers think they owe to themselves as citizens
and taxpayers of the state.
In thus calling your attention to these
matters it would be superb uous for me to
enter into any discussion OF the causes
which have produced the deplor able condi-
tions that now confront the farming pOpu-
lation of the state and ,tion Suffice it to
say that it is un versally conceded that the
prosperity of state and nation is largely de-
pendent upon the prosperity of the farming
population, and we look to those in author
ity to guard well the interests Of this great
producing class, to exercise prudence and
economy in state expenditures and to so
shape legislation that taxation, so far as
may be, will more closely conform to the
tlx-r Al No TOW fax rinry Aapitt
of our farming population rtusting that
may hear from you at your earliest conven-
fence, | remain,
Respectfully yours,

GOLD AT A PREMIUM.
And Yet Wall Street Has Survived tn
Shock.

And Yet Wall Street Has Survived the
Shock.
Gold is at premium. On Thursday
last it was ~ per cent.
How Wall street survived such a
shock Is one of those mysteries that
will probably never be explained. For
two years past the appalling picture Of
gold at premium" has been kept in
the very focus Of the public gaze. True,
the gold people never specified particu-
larly just how we were to be ruined by
1t. They left that to the Imagination.
Gold has been ut a premium over COM
modities and other forms of property
for more than twenty years. That,
however, has given the gold worship
per no concern. The fact that the pro-
ducer had to labor twice as long or
twice as bard to get dollar, was a
good thing--for the man who already
had the dollars. But at the idea OF
some importer or Wall street specula-
tor having to pay one or two per cent
premium In order to get gold for export.
he actually stood aghast. But the
dread moment came. Gold went to a
premium of cent and quarter, and
except for the telegraphic mention Of
the fact we should never have known
the difference. 1t is now in order for
the gold standardists, whose whole
soul has been wrapped up in the idea
of parity" "one dollar as good as an
70 IN vic nd la;x
1t will probably be said that the pre-
MUM was small and that it was only
temporary. Well, how great must the
premium be and how long must it last
to hurl us down the awful abyss Of
financial ruin. II IL per cent is not
enough will per cent do the work, or
8 or or how many per cent must it be?
The profits of the syndicate on the first
secret bond deal. represent premium
of 16 per cent on the gold furnished to
the government. Even that, bad as it
was in every respect, did not ruin the
country. 1t only disgraced it. We
expect to see premium on gold good
many times within the next year, and
we expect to see the goldite shift his
position concerning 1t as often as he
has with reference to the danger
point" of the treasury reserve. The
reader will remember that for long
time the line was sharply drawn at one
hundred millions. Then the line was
lowered to ninety millions, then to sew
enty-five and now 1t seems to be alto
gether indefinite. So will 1t be with the
premium on gold.

Thus the wage worker comes In for his
share of the injury.
While the farmer will reduce his con-
sumption Of sugar, spices and the like,
poor people dependent upon their daily
toll must reduce on all lines. They will
consume less bread.
Accordingly we find that in seasons
Of great business depression there is
usually a reduced consumption of al
most everything that contributes to the
sustenance of man.
For example, in 1898, very disas-
trous year in business. we consumed
100000 bushels less wheat than in
1892. In 1894. which. as a whole, was
even worse than in 1898, the consump-
tion was nearly 102 ,OOO, 900 bushels less
than in the latter year.
Thus we see that the alleged overpro-
duction so persistently brought for
ward by the gold people as an explana-
tion Of the falling prices is in fact un-
der-consumption. With prices lower
than ever before, the people have
bought less. and consumed less. II has
been simply because they have not had
the money to buy with.
The idea that people can be made
prosperous by making money scarce
is preposterous, and the belief that sill
yer can be displaced without making .
scarcity OF money is equally so.

Powerful Bimctallic Organizations Would
Make Victory Certain.


Powerful metallic Organizations Would
Make Victory Certain
Referring to the consolidation Of the
American Bimetallic League, the Ma
tional Bimetallic Union and the Ma
tional Silver Committee, the Weekly
Tribune of Galloway, Neb., says:
"The new organization resolved to
support the party declaring in its favor;
but declares that in the event of nom
support by either of the great parties,
the Union will put its own ticket in the
next campaign"
Then that paper wakes indignant over
the supposed fact that the American
Bimetallic Union has turned the cold
shoulder on the Populist party.
The National Bimetallist is anx-
ious that no misapprehensions may
arise with reference to the attitude of
the consolidated organization, and 1t
will therefore say to one and all of its
readers, that it has taken no such action
as that mentioned above. 1t has adopt
ed 70 such resolutions, made no such
declaration and in fact has thus far
proposed nothing in the world but a
campaign of education. it has no dis
position to ignore the Porulist party,
or any other. There are populists, re-
publicans and democrats connected
with it and they are all working to-
gether In perfect harmony for the COM
mon cause, namely. the complete resto-
ration Of bimetallism in the United
States.

The Fool and His Money.

Every one has heard about the part
ing of fool and his money. A case
in point, except that the man was
woman, recently occurred in Nebras-
ka town. Revival services were in
progress and were attended by the wife
OF wealthy banker. She became con-
verted and one night gave her 'experi-
ence." She said she had discarded her
diamonds, represented to have been
worth $50, 900, because she was con-
vinced it was uBgodly to wear them,
and that before she started for church
that night she had placed them all in
the bureau in her bedroom, intending
to let them remain there until she
could dispose OF them altogether.
Some man left the chnrch as she sat
down, and when she arrived home she
found the house had been broken into
and all the her jewellery was gone.
On the bureau was note from the
burglar, who said he was glad to re-
movo temptation from her path.

Alfalfa In Ohio

The Ohio station makes .he following
report:
Alfalfa is a plant of the clover fam
lily, and is known as Lucern in Southern
Europe, where it has been In cultivation
from the earliest historic times. 1t was
introduced into Spanish America at an
early date and has become permanent
and most highly valued feature of the
agriculture of California, Utah, Colo
RADIO, Arizona and New Mexico.
1t is very deep-rooting plant, which
habit enables it to Withstand drouth
we'll, and thus adapts it to arid regions.
1t grows very slowly during the first
season, making irrigation necessary to
establish 1t in dry climates, and rem
dering 1t especially liable to be choked
out by weeds or killed by frost during
It's first winter in Ohio.
The Ohio experiment station has
made repeated attempts to cultivate
1t, both at Columbus and in Wayne
county, but the difficulty of getting
stand is so great, and the plant is so
particular about its soil, that We do not
expect it's culture ever to become gen.
eral in Ohio, although there are some
regions of the State where 1t would
seem that it ought to thrive.
To those who wish to experiment
with it we offer the following sugges-
tions: Select a loose soil, prefer
ably sandy, lying above a gravelly or
porous subsoil, with, if possible. a SUBJ
terranean water supply. The soil condi-
tions which are found in many Of our
river bottom lands would seem to be
most favorable.
Avoid a soil on which water stands,
or one having a hardpan near the sur
face. Prepare the land by plowing and
narrowing most thoroughly, as soon as
1t can be worked in the spring. Sow the
seed (which should be American grown)
at the rate of 20 to 80 pounds to the
acre, and cover it with light harrow.
When the weeds have grown to suffi-
cient height clip them Of with now
ing machine, with the cutter bar turned
up so as not to cut close to the ground.
ing the season.
No crop is to be expected during the
first season, but 1t should give two cut
tings the second year, and after that
about three cuttings each year. II a
good stand is secured on suitable soil it
will not need renewing for many years.
The New York State experiment sta
ton at Geneva has succeeded in secur-
ing a fine stand of alfalfa, which has
thus far endured the winters, and there
are isolated instances of successful cul-
ture on the gravelly loans of South
western Ohio and on the sandy lands Of
the lake shore.-Farmers' Review.
