A press dispatch in Wednesdays pa
pers, announcing Chairman Hanna's
visit to Chicago, said: "He spent most
of his time among the monied men and
at the clubs, interesting business. men
in the coming struggle" The same
press contains an account of Bryan and
Bland's journey east. They were adj
dressing and shaking hands with the
people. This comes pretty near telling
the character of the campaign 1t is
the money power versus the people.
Money has an immense power until it
becomes too arrogant. The people
show their power sometimes and then
don't count.

The Lewiston Tribune gives a des-
cription of the big placer work being in
augurated at Warren by the Warren
Steam Dredge Co, saying the enter
prise viii be in operation about Sep. l /:
@The magnitude of this plant and of
its scale of operations is scarcely real
lied, as it is the first of its kind to be
undertaken anywhere, and the most ex-
tensive placer works ever put in in ida
no, the original investment being about
S150OO0. The motive of the plant is to
handle large amount of ground rapid
ly. and to dispose of the refuse without
handling. For the first object a plain
dredge like those used in harbor works
is used, and for the second an elevated
movable car. The company owns 127
acres of placer ground in the Warren
basin that practically includes all the
old diggings that have heretofore yield
ed millions of dollars, and some virgin
ground that prospects 70 cents yard.
The plant resembles wrecking car
several times magnifed, and is set on
trucks running on railroad track on
bedrock The work begins at the ex
treme lower end OF the ground where a
big hole has been scooped out twenty
five feet deep to bedrock, and in which
the big machine has been erected. a
75-horse power engine runs the shovel
which takes up two and one half tons
at bite, and in one minute it half fin
ishes the third bite The shovel is
guided by the boom from one side to
the other and has a reach of ten feet
forward and ninety feet across. The
ground worked in day is therefore 10
by 90 by % feet deep and every night
the track is moved up 10 fest and the
same quantity Of new ground is hand
led"

not an old man. Neither is he an in
fant. He is below the average age of
the men who are holding positions in
public life. Yet he is not phenomen-
ally young to be entrusted with the re-

just attained the age at which AleXan-
der Hamilton finished his remarkable
career as secretary of the treasury. He
is two years older than was Henry Clay

with distinction two years term in the

GENTLEMEN To protect ourselves
in time of panic and financial distress
which we regard as inevitable if the
unexpected should happen in Novem-
ber-we have decided to add the follow
ing condition to all contracts made for
newspaper advertising 1t is also
agreed that should the Free Silver Can
didate, Bryan, be elected, the DIR. Miles
Medical Co. have the privilege of can
ceiling this contract From this date
contracts without this clause will not
be accepted.
AS this Medical Co. never did pay
decent price for an ad. in a rural paper,
and as its offers go into the waste bas-
ket, as a rule, this is rich. But it is
richer still that the Lemhi Republic,
Shoup's own home paper, should use it
as an illustration of the awful effects
which will follow goldbug defeat.

These figures show something inter.
esting concerning the market. For a
long tin Q the year 1881 was the large
year In the cattle business. In 1888
the market received more cattle than
In any previous year, but the yard
began to grow In 1890, and since then
the increase has been irregular but
making higher averages. The year
1881 was, and still is, the great year In
hogs; the drouth causing decrease Of
$4,000 head next year. The sheep
trade of 1895 was record breaker by q
large majority. Previously 1888 was
the year Of the largest sheep receipts,
but the actual gain In the number
slaughtered dates from 1890. This
market is proSpering, but there is
plenty of room to grow in receipts and
slaughter all along the line.
About all that is necessary to say
concerning the st, Louis cattle trade
for the year 1895 Is that this is the only
one Of the four great Western markets
that can show an increase over the srri-
vals Of the previous year. In other
words, Chicago, Kansas City and
Omaha have lost, but st. Louis has
gained.
The National Stock Yards has sbun-
dant reason to be proud Of the recent
increase In their business, which Is
largely influenced by the splendid
transportation and yard privileges, the
