More Money and So Wheat.

Mr.. Farmer, a word with you!
Twenty-Five years ago you paid 500
for lumber wagon-and how those
wagons did last! Your wheat was So
a bushel. Remember it, don't you?
Then it took fifty bushels of wheat to
pay for the wagon. Isn't that
straight? Yes or no. Well, today
you can buy a wagon for 40 dollars,
but you have to get the tires set the
first year, and the whole thing goes
to pieces in three or four years.
Your wheat now sells for SO cents.
You are painfully aware of that. So it
takes eighty bushels of wheat to pay
for your $40 wagon, as against the
fifty bushels of wheat your 500 wag-
on cost you. If it hadn't been for the
contraction policy of the money mon.
gers who have ruled the country ever
since the war, you would still be get
ting So bushel for your wheat, and
you could pay fifty bushels for $500
wagon, and still have thirty bushels
($6O left for interest and taxes-all
saved on the lumber wagon! Still
you go around the country in an old
lumber wagon, with the bottom OF
box half out, the sides all ready to
tumble in, bit of a fence board
across the top of the box, with the
hair sticking through the holes in the
top of your hat, with clothes patched
in an as many colors as was Joseph's
and you shrieking II am Republi-
can Cor DEMOCRACY, an SO was my
dad an grand-dad. I'm for sound
money, am, an want a dollar that's

THE NONE SUCH" WASHER.
Evidences Of Faith in the Little
Machine.

Newspapers, here and there, have
attacked and characterized as a fraud
Messrs. Soper s. Browns patent
"None Such Washer" and while pre-
summing a great deal, have not, as yet,
produced any evidence that the wash
err is not all that is claimed for it.
Because Soper y Brown have placed
their rights at $1,000 and the little una
chine at So for family right it is no
excuse for a wholesale TRADE against
these MEN and their business in dis
posing of territorial rights to sell the
machines. The fact is very plainly
demonstrated that no man is COM
PEELED to buy an agency, nor does
any man purchase without being full
ly informed. These men have u right
to place their own price on their
goods, and you can buy or let it alone
az you please. You know, or ought
know whether you can sell these ma
chimes. Every man to his trade.
That people using the machines. and
that agents are perfectly satisfied
with this investment, the following
documents are appended. They speak

HARDWOOD FOR BATS.

One Concern Consumes Two Million Feet
of Lumber in This Way.
The correspondent for the North
western L,lmberlnan ut Grand Rapids,
Mich, says there is Il concern in that
city that probably makes more bats
than any other in the country. This
year the output will be 2s8, 900, a record
that has not been broken since 1889,
when 316,600 were turned out. The
best bats are made of second ground
white ash; ordinary ones of common
white ash, and very ordinary bats
such as the boys play out on the COM
mons with=-of mape and Eastwood.
These latter are ruh. through an auto
matte lathe at theAfatc of j 400 a day,
while the league bats are turned by
hand. A small quantity of willow"
bats ARE made of poplar. Twenty
years ago about half the bats were
poplar, but the style has changed.
Some of the crack players will not con
descend to use stock bat, but 20 to the
factory and have bats of the size and
weight they desire made for them. II
we figure it will be found that this
Grand Rapids factory alone will con-
sumo about 100000 feet of hard wood

THE SPOTS ON THE SUN.
What the Scientists Think About Theil
Inf1nanca on Our Weather.

Influence on Our Weather.
The vexed question of the influence OF
sun-spots on the weather seems to be
as far from settlement to-day as 1t was
ten or twenty years ago, says the
Youths Companion. So great an au-
thority as Lord Kelvin has recently eA-
pressed doubt as to whether the co.
incidences noticed by students of this
subject are not, after all, deceptive and
misleading. Other investigators, how
ever, continue to think that real con.
nection exists between the spottedness
Of the sun and the condition OF the
weather on the earth.
Among the latest contributions to
our knowledge on the subject are those
made by Mr.. w. L. Dallas, who has in
vestigated the weather records kept
from 1856 to 1879 on board ships in the
Bay of Bengal, and by DR.. P. Polls, who
has reviewed the records of Ga years
at Aix-laChappelle. Mr.. Dallas con-
cludes that, as far as The Bay of Bengal
is concerned, the heat is greatest when
sun-spots are most numerous. DR..
Polls, on the other hand, finds that at
Aix-la Chappelle the warmest seasons
formerly conceded with the smallest
number of sun-spots, but that since
1878 change has apparently occurred
and now it is hottest when the sun is
most spotted. DR.. Polls also finds that
the number of thunder storms gener.
ally increases with q decrease of the
sun.spots.
These facts and differences are partic.
ularly interesting just now, because
from this time on we are likely to ser
the sun-spots rapidly decreasing in siz:
and number for several years to come

Our Exports, and what we Get in
Return.

AS we published in our news col
umus, last week, this country, for the
eight months ending February 30, '96,
shipped abroad 81 million dollars
more products and merchandise than
it imported. During the same period
it shipped abroad SO million dollars
more gold than it received; during
the same period it shipped abroad 80
million dollars worth of silver more
than was shipped in; during the same
period there were large issues of
bonds by our government, many of
which were bought by capitalists Of
foreign lands. Now, what did this
country get for the 81 million dollars
excess of merchandise, So million dol
lars excess of gold and 30 million dol
lars excess of silver total excess of
144 million dollars? What did it get
for the bono taken by foreign capt.
talists? For all this it got gunny
sack or So of interest coupons. The
exports of products and merchandise
for which we got merchandise in re-
turn amounted to 500 million dollars
We exported such substantials as
wheat, cotton and meats. What kind
of merchandise did we get in return
would be interesting to know, but it
will be found that silks, champagne,
diamonds, paintings and such things
will cut very large figure. Quite an
item of our imports from France is
snails, dainty dish, enjoyed by our
New York and Boston brethren.
This shipping abroad of thousands
of shiploads of such substantials as
wheat, cotton, and meat. und getting
in return for q large amount of then
interest coupons, champagne, dia.
monds and the like, is the result of ar
unjust money system in the United
States. If our government had fur
nished plenty of money at low rate
of interest, we would not owe foreign
ers and our own land would not bt
the home of a plutocracy who wiring
the fruits of labor from the hand Of
the toiler and spend it in purchasing
fineries and dainties of foreignpro-
duction.-Missouri World.

When people generally understand
that all such fatal diseases as fistula,
ulcer of the rectuln, fissure, ETC.,

Cure will certainly cure every form
of piles, itching, bleeding, protruding
or blind piles, and hundreds of lives
have been saved by using this cheap

the old chronic, deep seated cases,
several packages are sometimes me-
cessary before lasting cure is
affected.

Cure in preference to surgical oper-
ations and with uniform success.
The remedy is prepared by the Pyra-
mid Drug Co., of Albion, Mich, and
for sale by druggists everywhere.

monial letters from cured patients

Buluwayo at the head of a force of men
to put down tn. revolt of the Matabeles,
has had an Engagement with the enemy,
many of whom were killed. More muir
ders of whites by the NIatabeles are re-

Another Defeat Reported.
A force of British troops under COM

large body of Matabeles on Thursday,
killing large number of them. The
British force lost no men.
Fiendish Murder of Whites.
A dispatch from Buluwayo, under
Fridays date, represents the situation
as being of the gravest character. A
thousand men. and women burned a
store 40 miles out from Ruluwayo on
Thursday and performed dance
around the flames. Many murders of
whites of the most sfendish character
are reported. Cecil Rhodes is expected

them with 750 rifles and large guam
tity of ammunition.
Native Police Desert.
London, March 2s.-Sir Hercules
Robinson. governor of Cape Colony, has
telegraphed to the colonial Office that
the reports OF the murder of Police In.
spector jackson and the desertion Of
the native police to the NIatabeles is
confirmed. The native police took their
Martini rifles with them. Gov. Robin
son also says that the Laigar around the
market in Buluwayo is greatly in need
of arms and ammunition. The dispatch
states that Mabel, son of the late Ma
tnbele king, Lobengula, who was ban
ished in 1898, has returned to Matabele'
