THE FARMER AND Silver.

The Cresset in its issue of the 9th
inst, makes an attempt to dispute the
theory that 1.-The value of our agricult-
ural products that come in competition
with the silver using countries viz:
China. Japan, India and the South
American states, are governed by the
price or value OF silver bullion" and
quotes one John Hyde as his author
and expert. The Cresset makes Nh
Hyde say:
Il have noticed the publication, but have
been unable to find any foundation for the
statistics. They are not taken from any pub
LEGATION OF this department nor are they to be
found among the records The figures aleg ed
to represent the average prices of wheat and
cotton are widely ut variance, except for an
occasional and apparently accidental agree
ment with the average prices in the New York
market reported in the statistical abstract
Of the United States, published by the treas
ury department., and not one year out of the
last ten do the wheat figures agree, even sub
stantiaily, with those published in the annual
statistical report of the New York exchange"
How cute Mr.. Axline is. He fluids
somebody that he says belongs to the
agricultural department who is willing
to deny an official report and claim that
such figures do not emanate from this
department."
Whoever claimed that the Statistical
Abstract was any part of the agricult-
ural department?
The Statistical Abstract is prepared
by the Bureau of Statistics under direc-
ton of the secretary of the treasury, "
and signed by Wortbington G. Ford,
chief of Bureau.-John G. Carlisle, Sec
Rotary.
How easy it is for our republican
friends to deny statistics in the depart
ment of agriculture by claiming they
do not appear there. They mi ght and
probably will call to their aid Sec. Olney
OF the department. of state, also the
secretary of War. Navy, Interior, etc.
Doubtless there are men even in the
executive department that they could
prevail (?) upon to deuy such reports as
not coming from their office. We submit
some prices from the Statistical Alb
stract and only ask our farmers to in.
vestigate for themselves. We quote
from pages 3S3 and 43, giving the ex-
port price of wheat, cotton, bacon and
hams, beef sailed, and the bullion val
ne of the standard silver dollar:

VOTER, will you follow us moment
while we briefly examine and review
the republican ticket and discover what
kind Of material it is made of. There
is Haberlein who aspired to The office of
representative in 1890, in the populist
convention but was knocked out of the
box and from that time to the present
he has been republican. There is G.
NJ. Martin who was a candidate before
the Populist convention in 1894 for
county attorney but got what the lit
tie boy did that shot at the bird on the
sour apple tree. Since that time he
has tiirted with the prohibitionist, the
independents and the Lord only knows
what not, until in this year of our Lord
he has finally succeeded in receiving
nomination on the republican ticket.
He has been anywhere and everywhere,
politically, and thinks he has now come
home to roost. Very poor timber To
m axe a public officer. Then there is
Frank Read, not a bad man 20 look az,
but man who has for these many
years past, held several positions as
deputy under Populist officers and has
successfully passed" as member Of
the Peoples party in good faitl. He,
too, like the foregoing brethren in dis
iress, did not receive Populist noml-
nation and he found welcome greet
ing in the republican fold. SO, you see,
that over one half of the republican
ticket is composed of ex-pops for rev.
enue only.

1t will be seen that farm animals
have deprecated about so per cent or
in other words have kept pace on the
downward scale with his wheat, cotton,
and other products of the farm, also
with the sliding scale Of the silver bull
lion.
We do not question these or any 9TH
er government reports and ask our
farmer friends and any gold standard
man TO come and look at the reports
for themselves. We d0not ask you to
take our word nor do we expect you to
believe the sophistries of Hyde, Axine
and others. If there is any mistake
the government has made it.
We submit these statements only
asking you to investigate for yourself

What right has Frank
Read to claim the suffrage of

Since when has it become the
duty of the county to keep
him constantly in a public
office! We speak knowingly
when we say that Mr.. Read
has been employed as deputy
in more Offices in this county
and for a greater length of
time than any three other

chance when we have plenty

DIAL MORRIS says he ought to be cleo
ted because he is cripple, has no way
of making living etc., and thinks that
even though he would make a poorer
and higher salaried trustee than Sam
Adams, he ought to be elected for char
lty'S sake. \ ct he will tell the next
fellow he meets that he has big
inheritance happy on the way" This
pltiful plea that Dial puts up is all bosh.
He has nice home of his own, he Is
holding the offices of justice ofthe peace
OF the township and police judge of the
city combined. He has held some kind
of an office during most of the time that
he has resided In the city and if he ever
suffered any bodily pain it was because
OF an owe: loaded stomach rather than
an empty one. sam Adams has large
family to support, he does not own a
home but is trying to procure one as
soon rs he can do so by honest toll.
Yet he don't ask the county and town
ship to put up an un-earned salary in
order that he and his family may live.

bluff by betting odds with Mark Han

Silver Must Be Recognized.

From the Washington City Star.
A large number of the manufactur-
ers OF Philadelphia, headed by James
Dobson, have embraced the "silver and
protection" idea, and have notified the
Republican leaders that unless silver
is recognized in some way at ST.. Louis
they will neither support the Repuh
lican ticket nor contribute anything
TO the campaign fund.
Mr.. Dobson was president of the
manufacturers club OF Philadelphia
for years, and is aaid to have contrib
uted and secured the contribution OF
hundreds Of thousands of dollars to
Republican campaign funds in the
past. Heber Clark, the editor of sew
eral papers devoted to manufacturing
interests, and secretary OF the manu-
facturers' club, has been preaching
free silver IN his papers for some time
Now it is said that majority of the
manufacturers of Philadelphia have
decided that free silver, owing to the
cncroachments of oriental countries
is best for Them so much the best, in
fact, that they will support new party
il the old parties do not give some
consideration to the white metal.
A delegation Of fifty or sixty Phila-
delphia manufacturers, headed by Mr..
Dobsop, is booked to come here for a
conference with Senator Teller and
the silver leaders ON the silver and
protection theory. They will promise
Mr.. Teller their support it is under
stood.
Report has it that Senator Quay is
somewhat alarmed over the growing
silver sentiment in his State. He is
fully posted, it is said, as to- what is
going on among the manufacturers
who have always been Republicans,
but sees no way to stop it. The Man
club of Philadelphia rep
resents SS00000 900 in different indus
tries in that city and throughout the
country.
A. 5. Dulin, a young Westerner who
has always been close friend OF Sen
ator Teller, has been selected by the
new silver party to take charge of the
silver forces in Pennsylvania. He will
begin the work of organization at once,
and win establish headquarters in
Philadelphia. 1t is stated on the best
Of authority that the manufacturers
have fully supplied him with funds to
conduct the campaign, and will put
up all that he needs in that line.
Ex-State Chairman w II Andrews
of Philadelphia, who has been in
several days, says that it
is reported that Congressman Griswold
is to be succeeded by silver man. IL
is Crawford county's time to name the
from that district this
year, and, as the county is for silver,
man named Sturtevant will be Sc
lected. Mr.. Andrews was chairman Of
I e "Lexow" committee, and is one of
the Republican leaders of the State.
The district is the same which Sibley

The Wallace Press man has been
there and knows what he is talking
about when he gently whispers: "Of
course the Republicans are in favor of
silver. They say so. And who would
doubt a Republican, Didn't the lead
ers tell the people of the Occur d.
Alenes few years ago that tariff on
lead would raise the price Of that pro-
duct? Didn't they get a tariff, and
hasn't the price of lead run up from
70 per hundred pounds, when the Re-
publican cry for tariff was first raised,
to W S93 hundred? The people who
doubt Republican professions are very
inereduioas. The Republicans are
full OF political wisdom, and what they
don't know about fooling the voters
wouldn't be worth much to put in
print"

Good Mrs. Ryan.
From the Sat Lake Tribune, March %.

From the Sat Lake Tribune, March 20.
About everybody who travels north on the Short
Line knows Mrs Ryan at Glenns Ferry. II they do
not know her BY they do by sight for she pre-
sides over the breakfasts and suppers served pas
sengers on the line at that point. One Salt Laker
who has just back from an Idaho trip tells with
considerable zest Of experience had Of Glenns
Ferry hospitality. This Salt Laksrs name Is good on
checks, and he does bear any evidence Of extreme
poverty about his person 1t happened that when he
got to the Ferry that he had already had breakfast
and didn't earc TO eat ANYTHING just then While
he was standing around outside the door Fred Kescl
Of Ogden drifted by, aud at the time Mrs Ryan
came to tile door. won't you come in and eat2 she
said cheerily.
"ko, thank YOU" was the answer, II don't care
to- and before he could explan kiesel Clipped in
saying, ale hasn't any money"
well, and what II he hasntY' was Mrs Ryan's re.
Spouse. ale looks honest, and he can eat with me-
money or no money 1 don't want anybody going
hungry around here"
With that she took him in tow. Kiesel chuckhng at
the joke, and fairly made him take breakfast She
didn't half like it, either, to find that she was to be
paid for it, until she had the explanation.
Il happened that Governor Mcconnell OF Idaho
took breakfast with them. When he came out Mrs
Ryan refused to let him pay for his meal. "You are
my guest" she said, land that settles II"
As they walked away the Governor remarked TO his
companions, on Mrs Ryan's generosity, II don't see
how she gets along, she's so liberal"
A car wiper who ong up the boxes OF the
train heard the remark. ooh, you're not the only
one" he spoke up; she feeds every old tramp that
comes along here" The Governor subsidized
