Mrs. Bryan were brought out from

but to stand on after | get in. | be-
lievc | represent the best interests of

you the gold standard is a good thing,
you tell him there was never Il party
that declared in its favor. The men
who advocate Il gold standard in this
country are the men without Il party.
Some people will try to make you be-
lievc this is II small matter, but you
have just as much right to he heard and
receive protection in small matter as
in large business interests. This election
is a very important one and ! want you
to consider it so that you may all come
out right"
A voicc-That well do.
The train then moved up to Kingston
Union depot. four miles away. At this
point the West Shore train had just
brought a crowd of passengers who
were waiting to be transferred to this
train I'm addition several hundred DpO-
pie had gathered to greet the Bryan
party. During the transfer of cars the
crowd again rushed forward to shake
Mr.. Bryan's hand. who stood on the
rear platform, while Mrs. Bryan was
on the front, also receiving greetings.
No speech was made, as it was an
nounced that Mr. Bryan would make II
formal address in this city on his return
from the Catskills tomorrow.

". J. BRYAN AND FnEu WOOL.

WI, hltH AN AND flttNW WOOLL
The wool crop, last year, was valued at
about $40, 200, 900, while the valu0 OF the
corn, wheat and oats, raised that year,
without mentioning the other crops OF the
farm, amounted to i,5s2, 1874, 2O6. Three
items Of the farm amounted to twenty
times the value Of the wool clip.-Hon.
Nm. y. Bryan n congress, March 10th,
1922.
This is a sample Of Mr.. Bryan's eco
nomic ideas, says the american Econ
omiSt. OF what avail was 1t to the
farmer, that his wheat, corn and oat
crops were worth twenty times more
than his wool clip II there was no profit
in the amount produced; IL could be
multiplied twenty times more and still
it would not benefit him il there was
not a profit per bushel 1t is the profit,
over and above the cost OF production,
that the farmer, as we'll as every other
producer, is interested in, and not the
total value OF the product.
The wool clip in 1891 yielded a profit
to the farmers; they had something
over and above the cost OF raising the
wool; their sheep that year we're worth
80 81 per head, S108, 900, 900 in all. 10
1895, with a wool clip valued at $780,
000, 900, quite a drop from the &c.,
900, 900 of 1891, the sheep left were
worth 81 So per head and less than
$67, 000, 900 in total value. With the
value OF the flocks reduced from $685.
900, 900 to S67, 000, 900, the average
price per head from S2.51 to $1.58, the
average price per pound of wool from
II cents to 9 cents, the farmers are not
likely to heed the "Boy Orators" pleas
in this campaign for free-trade and
free wool. His prophecies of benefit to
the farmers from free wool have not
materializsd. False prophets meet
with cool receptions. The farmers
have had the experience and Mr.. Bryan
can now keep all his theories. They
don't pan out a cents worth of profit.

THE HoPEwELL CAMP.
Prof. b. +. Giltner Drops "The Op.
tic" a Few Lines from that
Mining Region.

To the Editor of the Optic.
HoPEwELL, RIO ARRIBA COUNTY, N.
NJ, July 26th.-We arrived at this
camp, yesterday, after spending a
week examining the mineral belt east
Of here about seven miles, which is but
an extension of the Hopewell camp,
and Is called the Headstone mining
district.
II is truly a wonderfully mineralized
locality, from the fact that a great pro-
portion Of the country rock is highly
mineralizsd with gold, SO that it can
be quarried out and treated by the
modern methods of treatment and
yield a fair profit. But this is not all.
The leads and chutes will assay IN the
developed mines from $40 to $3.50 per
ton; the location for living is fairly
good, as water and fuel are plentiful,
while the mesas are covered with lux
uriant grass.
The Las Vegans who are here are
too numerous to mention. All have
aattering prospects, 80 far as | have
seen.
There seems to be quite a trouble
with newcomers to understand the
geologic conditions, but, after a study
Of the formations, / find that the main
mineral bearing lodes u N830E. but
there are multifarious chutes that d.
verge from the main trend of the lodes
at an angle of from 800 to 400.
Messrs. Rice and Aber, who came
over the mountains at the same time
with US, are In good health and spirits
and are in the swim, also, as they have
already located two claims apiece
that promise to be bonanzas, with de-
velopment. B. F. GILTNER.

From the Eddy Argus.
For the Pecos valley farmer, the
beet sugar industry will be Of equal
benefit. The cultivation and delivery
of the beets costs not to exceed $32 &C
per acre. The yield is about fifteen
tons. He consequently receives, at $4
per ton, $50 per acre for his crop, or
$27.4O over and above his expenses.
At the present prices for wheat and
the usual fartn products, this is a re
turn on the land which is most deslr.
able, especially sincs the crop is sold
before it Is sown.

MEMBERS of the county republican
central committee at Topeka, Kansas,
say privately that already a great deal
of harm has been done by hot-heads
running every doubtful voter out Of the
party, when by harmonious action and
civil treatment, bi-metalllsts may yet
be won to vote for Mckinley, in the
hope that the party's policy in national
affairs may be modified. The same
condition Of aft airs exists in New
Mexico, sorry 10 say.

THE destruction of a number OF
camping parties by the flood in Bear
creek canon, Colorado, is another evil
dence of the wisdom of the old Indian
rule of always camping on high
ground. 1t is much more conducive
to health, because such ground is dryer
and free from the miasmatic conditions
of river bottoms. Since camping has
become sc popular a recreation, peo-
pie should look to the sanitary effects
of it very carefully.

THE national republican campaign
promises to be u long one, at least from
an o~ratorical viewpoint. The opening
meeting, which will also open the state
campaign in Nebraska, will be held in
Omaha on August 9th, when the state
republican league will have a mass
meeting. The principal speakers will
be Hon. Roswell G. Horr, formerly Of
Michigan, but now of New York, and
Senator Burrows. Other big meet
ings will follow close In its wake, and
will be addressed by the most promi-
inent speakers in the country, including
Senator John Sherman, who has volun-
teered to lift his voice against free sill
yer in the western states.

duced in THE Optic without comment:
The Territories have no voice in the cleo
ton OF a president, but 1t would be we'll
for them to put themselves in line with
sound policy on public questions. This
ought not to have any effect upon their
chances of admission as states, but II the
silver cause triumphs this year, it will be
easier to secure the admission of New
Mexico and the other Territories il
they have planted themselves squarely
upon a platform in favor of the unrestrict-
ed coinage Of silver and gold at the ratio
OF 16 to /.
