BnIitiCal Notes.

What has free trade done for the
farmers of England? Wiped them out.
The free trade policy in America would
have the same tendency.
In order 10 keep up the price of wheat
the farmers Of the Northwest should
take the tip Of extending the area OF
barley and going into beet culture.
Silver has reached the lowest point
in It's entire history. But Director
Preston of the United States Mint say
that It is to go. still lower, This fall, he.
the world for silye. as n money metal.
May we ask the Democrats of Ohio
what has become OF the tin-plate liarsI
If there is any doubt about the answer,
we state in brief that the celebrated
liars have been found out by the people
as truth-tellers. The liars were the
other fellows.
The recent fail in the price Of silver
has precipitated alarming business
troubles in Mexico. Exchange has gone
skyvara, business is at Il standstill,
manufactures have suspended, and
there is talk of going TO the gold stand
ard as a business necessity.
! The Harrison Administration, under
the Mckinley tariff and Sherman re-
sumption, was in full career Of prosper
ity when there was IA change" want
ed, and after the Democratic election
in 1892 that came fast enough, and
stuck TO the people like "A burr.
The Republicans have no policy that
contemplates the contraction Of the
currency. They never did demonetiZe
silver and never mean &c do so. The sill
YER that we baye-we mean the money
we shall keep and make useful. 1t is
not scarce, and it will wear out slowly.
Thousands of Democrats who sup
ported the Chicago platform and can
didates last year are refusing to do so
in this campaign. The fall In silver
and the advance in farm products are
convincing them Of the fallacy of the
principles which they unwillingly sup
ported in 1896.
Neither the actual miners of silver
nor the people generally would find
themselves endowed with free silver
dollars if we were tumbled upon a sill
yer basis. Those only who could profit
by the change are stockholders of the
silver corporations, and they are very
largely Europeans.
No silver statesman has ever been
able to tell the plain people who asked
where and how they were to come in to
gather the crop Of free silver when 1t
was ripe. AS to the process Of picking
up the free dollars, the true and only
answer Is, the people at large do not
come In at all. They are outsiders.
The increase in the supply of gold
through the recent Developments In
new mines and new processes is not a
mere matter of chance. 1t is the legiti-
mate response of the miners and money
producers of the world to the demand
for a convenient metallic medium Of
exchange which does not fiuctuate in
value.

A BOY DELIGHTS IN MURDER
Willie Crago, an Eleven-y enr-Oid
Ohio Lad, ReveIs in Blood
shed aud Crime.

Columbus, o., Aug. 30.-A mere lad.
more degenerate than the famous and
world-known Jesse Pomeroy, is now
an inmate of the boys Industrial home
at Lancaster. This degenerate is
named Willie Crago and is only IL
years of age, yet he coolly talks of his
deeds of bloodshed with a nonchalance
that would do credit to the most de-
PRAYED of murderers.
The crime for which nc will be sent
to the reformatory is the attempt he
made on the life of his little baby sis
ter a few weeks ago at the home of
his parents, about ten miles from this
city. The fact that he murdered a A.
~year-old brother about four years ago
in Tuscarawas county did o come to
light until the attempt to murder the
baby was made known. lie regret

LOOKS VERY MUCH LIKE GOLD
Well Diagers Near Canton, H., I'm
earth "a Streak OF Yellow
Metal.

Peoria, ILL.,, Aug. 30.--It is believed
gold has been discovered at Utica, nine
miles south of Canton and three miles
from Copperas creek lock. Men dig
ging a well on the farm of George
Houston, a mile and a half from Utica,
on the Peoria and Pekin road, have
found a yellowish substance imbedded
N a thick strata of soapstone, and are
of the opinion that ii is gold.
The news of the find reached the
town a short time afterward, and i'm
an hour it was talked of on the streets
of Canton. Intense excitement pre-
vailed and scores of people visited the
farm for the purpose of seeing for
themselves.
So far the mineral has not been test
ed, but those familiar with ore think
there may be some gold in the vein.
When the diggers got down about
twenty feet in the hole they struck a
thick bed of white soapstone and were
unable to break il with their picks.
They resorted to blasting, and when
the debris was cleared away there was
revealed a vein of yellow over an inch
wide and several feet long. The men
quit work Immediately and notified
the owner of the farm. Since then no
work has been done on The well.

RETURN FROM KLONDIKE
ROLLING IN WEALTH
Miners and Gamblers Return From
the Frozen North Loaded
With Dust.
TREASURES ON THE SANDERS
Estimated That the Kiondike VIII
Produce Fifteen Million This
Year--Much VIII Come
I'm the Spring.

Seattle. Wash, Aug. 30.-Yesterday
the schooner sanders arrived from st.
Michael's, which she left July 20. ON
board were many men, among them j.
>. Dinsmore OF Eureka, Cal. Each of
these men had a big SACK of gold. Nc
Namee's gold was contained in four big
bags. while Mitchell had upward Of $780,
600 in two canvas bags and a leather
trunk.
Mr.. Dinsmore gives the following ac-
count OF the latest discoveries OF gold in
the Klondike region:
bunker creek, 800 miles northwest of
Circle City, was discovered early in the
summer by James Langford, who was
the first miner TO get to bed rock. He
took out 81, 800 in one weeks work from
one sluice rock box.
Pay dirt was encountered from the
surface down.. No pan ran less than IS
cents and from that to LIS. There was
a grand stampede to Hunker creek in
June n the whole creek Is taken up.
Undoubtedly IL will be as rich AS Boz
nanza. Rich placer beds have been
found In Dominion and Bear creeks. The
Will pIbiuCG 9lO, ,VVD THIS
year.
II went into the Klondike over the
Chilkoot pass last April with -four tons
of provisions, which l sold at 400 per
cent profit. Wages will be SIS a day all
This winter.
Joseph Ladue, the man who aid out
Dawson n who has been called the
klondike magnate, must give way tC
Skiff, Mitchell and McNamee. These
men are the wealthiest in the Klondike.
Besides owning No. &c. above Dlscov-
cry and Bonanza, which paid 1900 to
he sluice box last winter, Mitchell owns
A half interest in twelve other claims in
The district. From the Bonanza claim
ae cleared Owe s113, 900 this spring.
Mr.. Mitchell was formerly a lumber
a at Eureka, Cal. McNamee spent
our years In the Yukon, with indiffer-
mt success, until he struck the Klon-
like. Then he got rich as fast as he
'ould dig out the pure gold from the bed
rock on his claim IN Eel Dorado creek.
After the Portland left st. Michaels
he cleaned up the last dump he owned
and added up his pile. 1t figured up
1897, 900"
Harry Ash, the gambler king. went
20 Dawson in March with $50, 900, which
ne made In conducting a dance hall II
Circle City. He bought mines and
!eased others. In other ways, known to
the profession, he made money.
To the correspondent he exhibited a
receipt from the Alaska Commercial
company at Dawson for a deposit OF
$4,000 He deposited $75, 600 with a 10.
raj bank in the afternoon.
The Sanders passengers say the big
load OF gold will be brought out in the
spring. Two millions will come out this
fall.

Congressman Dolliver of Iowa, Iii his
speech In the House Of Representa-
tives on the Dingley bill, stated that a
great number Of importing merchants
had appeared before the Ways and
Means Committee and that not IN of
them had come to protest against a pro-
tective tariff. AS Mr.. Dolliver pointed
out, the importers OF this country have
learned, during the disastrous days of
the Wilson-Gorman law, that not even
importers can prosper under the indus
trial paralysis caused by free trade,
which means the destruction Of Amer
lean industries and a consequent loss of
work and reduction of wages to Ameri-
car wage n People without work
awe no money TO buy imported goods
or any other kind of goods.

SAYS THE MINERS WILL LOSE
So Says Col. Rend aud He pellcy
Ratchford TO Commence
ACtfou.

hCtfOu.
Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 30.--Colonel w.
p. Rend, the Chicago operator who
created something of a scene during
the recent joint conference of miners
and operators by making serious
charges against President Ratchford,
returned from Buffalo today. When
told that his charges had created con-
siderable excitement and that intima-
tons had been thrown out that n libel
suit might be entered against him
Colonel Rend said:
Let him u me. i am ready to
prove what / charged and / think it
would be "a good thing for the country
If il were proved. That st. Louis con-
vention could not set itself "a better job
than to investigate this matter. L
made Dolan an offer 10 present Ratch-
ford with the evidence, but ii was not
accepted"
Speaking of the strike GENERALLY,
Colonel Rend declared it is now certain
the miners will lose IL. He anticipates
that within the mex few days new
men will be brought i'm TO start some
of the pits, but even If this is not done
and the mines remain idle the mem
will never get such another golden
opportunity us they huNe reJccteu. Ile
says their great mistake was in sup
posing the operators were ready to
give i'm because they sought arbitra-
ton.
He declares that all the large lake
shippers are firmly determined to re-
sist the demands of the miners. If the
miners had accepted the first PROPOSE
tions made by the operators at the
conference on Friday they would have
made n substantial gain and would
have improved permanently their con-
dition.

DISCRIMINATING WOLVES

Pierre, Aug. 30.-E. r.. Hawks, u
merchant at Pedro, up in the forks of
the Cheyenne river, about 125 miles
west of here, is in the city and reports
the buffalo wolves which were so nu-
merous and destructive in that sec
ton for the past two years TO he most
ly driven out by the action of one IA
An association was formed among the
stockmcn and a bounty offered for the
wolves, amounting to So apiece for old
wolves and So apiece for the young
ones. After this offer was made, a
cowboy named Thompson appeared in
that section and begun to kill wolves.
He had learned that hunting them by
ordinary methods, either with hounds
or guns. was of no avail on account Of
their wariness, and gets them by a
combination which is certainly eNcit-
ing enough to suit any hunter. He
keeps n pack of hounds which IL
trained to locate the wolves, and when
they start one, he follows closely after
them on a fleet horse with which he
outruns the wolf. His weapon is "a
shotgun cut off short enough to han
die il easily with one hand, and which
he loads with heavy charges of buck
shot. When he has oyertaken the WOLF
he rides near enough to give 1T a
charge Of shot at such close range
that he cannot well miss, regardless
of the speed at which he is riding. He
generally goes out just at daylight be-
fore the wolves have got back to their
hiding places for the day, and has
killed as many as a half dozen in one
morning. He makes a good income
in this way besides getting Il class OF
sport which is given additional excite
by the danger attending it, rs
the wolves would not hesitate TO at
tack him if they could get him at a
disadvantage. The cattlemen are
pleased at the work he is doing, and
pay him the bounty on all he
kills, for those he has not got away

CUSTER CHRONICLE
JOSEPH KUBLER PUBLISHER

Iron felt, the new invention for re-
ducing the noise of passing trains on
elevated railroads, has been much dis
cussed in Germany. II is made OF
wooden materials, impregnated with
the inventors patented preparation,
which gives 1920 pounds power of
resistance to every square centimeter
(0.3937 inch). 1t is intended to be
placed between the rails and the
sleepers, in which position it is said
to deaden the sound and prevent
shocks. The experiments of iron felt
on the Berlin city street railway are
reported TO have been most satisfac-
tory. Not only vas the noise brought
down to a minimum, but the wear and
tear were materially diminished.

Opcratious of the Wilson In 90

The fact that our expectation Of man
ufactures was S~11S,000,000 more last
year than IN 1892 does not prove that
the low tariff Of the Wilson law was ad-
~vantageous either 70 the manufacturers
or 10 the country. The fact Is that the
demand for the product of our manu-
factories fell off two or three times that
much by reason of the Increase in i'm
portatlOns and the lack OF earnings
with which our w people could buy.
II was the loss of the bone market
