None but those whom free trade has
LEFT bofu without sight and the desire

from the old days when protection WAS

with The advantage OF manufacturers.
with Il few exceptions, the insistent
demand ior relief. the tote OF acute dis
tHess. hav come from the raw matte

the sugar question Was in its most inn
noi;ant bearing an agricultural. not an
industrial one. We have Observed since
then tl!lt-much to the distress OF Cen
e.;tl Wheeler. who fought fou,. years
for slavery and now that
"irce trade. free institutions, free ev-
clything. are the birtllrigl,t OF the
South"-the Southern cotton grower
is quite rs much alive to the competi-
ton of Egypt rs the New England
cotton spinner to that of Manchester.
We have observed tia the ioudest COM
plitint came from n representative of
West Virginia land oWIcrs. who point
cd e%.ouucntly TO the tall pines rotting
on the mountains for lack OF IL market,
which. with the Democratic party's
compliments. had been handed over to
our good Canadian neighbors. We have
observed most lately that the farmers
OF kentucky and Missouri are fairly
ciamolous for IL duty OH lemp-a most
interesting revelation, in view of the
TACT that four years ago thousands Of
farmers votes We're captured by the
promise of the fortunes that lay in the
cheap twines and tagging OF free hemp
and lute. We have observed all these
things, and yet some OF the most inn
portant agricultural staples the protec-
ton oi which was either destroyed or
decreased by the Wilson bill, are yet
to be heard from. Such are wool, bar
ley and potatoes.
our friends the enemy will do well to
notice these things. The beginnings of
tAem were plain enough last spring,
when the farmers forced upon the po-
l.;ical organizations OF the towns the
Nomination of William Mckinley. They
are SO plain now that it Will be bad
poiiticss-if the 1ree-trade Democracy
still considers Itself in poiitics-to avoid
seeing diem. 1t was always criminal
to raise the cry of 'robber' against the
one producing class Which, was Suppos-

All producing classes are seeking that
benefit, it Will lie fatally foolish 1 o raise

The report of the Department of Ag-
ricultule FOR the month oil November
siscs'the average farm price of wheat
as ia ent a buslinl. The price for
~NoVenlbcr, 1885, was 49, cents; in 1854.
I9.S cents; in 1888. OIL cents, and III
1892 the farm price WAS g. cents IL
busilel. In 1891 tie price was about
the same as at the present time, but
the present price is an average of 20
cents Il bushel above the average No
vember price Of the three wears inn
mediately preceding 1S9G-a difference.
strange as it may seem, of nearly 40
ner cent.
With corn the prices are the reverse
of those of wheat. The farm price of
corn has not been so low in many years
at this time. Corn is not worth much
more than half as much as it was two
years ago. while the average price of
the past three years is IL cents Il bush
ell above the present price, which makes
the decline in corn about the same per
cent. as the advance in wheat.

pertaining the cause of the wide tluc-
tuations in the prices of these cereals.
Turn to the agricultural reports, and it
will be seen that the highest prices go
with the smallest crops, and, converse
ly. large crops and low prices go to-
gether. In other words, the u%nrepeala-
bic law of supply and demand makes

tiplication table.
But while these causes are so easily
understood by average people, they
must be extremely hard riddles for
those men who claim to be wiser than
most of us-those se%lf-styled econo-
mists who insist that the prices of ag-
ricultural staples are governed by the
market value of silver or legislation
affecting its coinage. For three years
previous to last autumn this brand Of
statesmen have paraded the low price
of wheat and solemnly declared that
an abnormally large crop does not af-
feet prices, but the fact that the money
sharks have destroyed half the redemp-
ton money of the world by refusing
to coin all the silver which would be
presented at the minis. Now that
wheat has leaped from 53.2 cents to
1917 cents a bushel, they must aban-
don the wheat Illustration. Still, they
can find consolation in corn equal to
that which many people are said to find
in the liquid extract of that cereal.
They car harp on the fall of the price
Of corn.
But what viii they do when some
disagreeable person in the local forum
at the crossroads store or postofice
asks the silver statesman to reconcile
the rise in wheat and the fall In corn

FORECLOSURE RULING.
Important Decision on Wording Of
Mortgage Notes.

A case of interest to Dickinson
county was affirmed by the supreme
court, Saturday. David E. Lewis and
Annie B. Lewis executed some prom.
issOry notes in favor Of W. E. Lewis.
1t was specified in the contracts that
il at any time any part of the interest
and taxes upon the property became
due the holder of the notes had the
right to bring immediate foreclosure
proceedings.
1t seems that when interest was de-
faulted an attempt was made to fore.
close but the court holds that the pro.
visions Of the stipulation reciting that
taxes must also be due and unpaid be-
fore proceedings can begin, is valid
and that the proceeding was not a
legal one. The couDt says;
sin foreclosure proceeding,
to make whole debt due before the
time stated in the notes, two condi-
tions must occur: Namely-Default
in the payment Of any sum when due
and default in the payment of taxes
on the mortgaged property when due. ;"

EXTENDING THE MISSIONS.
Bishop Jesse Engls and Wife Will
Leave for Africa.

Bishop Jesse Eugle, Of the River
Brethren church, one of the leaders
of the sect in Kansas, will leave Fri
day for South Africa to engage in
mission work in the interest of the
River Brethren church. He preached
farewell sermon at Bethel last night
and tonight will preach his farewell
sermon in this city. On Friday
morning with his wife he will start
for Chicago, there being joined by
Miss Frances Davidson, formerly as.
sistant principal Of the Abilene high
school, and they go via Canada to
Cape Town, Africa. They expect to
remain there permanently, though
that will depend on conditions as they
find them when they arrive. Mr..
Engle is about sixty-fve years old and
has lived in this county twenty years,
winning the respect and honor Of all
who know him. 1t is great under
taking for him to 60 so far on a mis-
sionary journey and nothing but great
zeal and great faith could induce such
a sacrifice. This is the first consid-
cradle missionary effort of the sect in
foreign lands and its fate will be
watched by the members with much
interest.
