APPEAL TO FRIENDS OF CUBA
Il BRANCH or THE CUBAN LEAG UE
My BE FORMED HERE.

Citizens Interested Requested to Send
Their Names to the Mayor-A Letter
From the Secretary of the League-La-
dies Asked to Co-operate-A Plea tor
Cuban Independence.
The following letter, which is self-ex-
planatory, has been received by Mayor
Farnsworth from the secretary of the
| Cuban league of the United States.
This is the second letter of the same
purport which has been received by the
mayor from that league
Hon. Frederick B. Farnsworth, New
| Haven, Conn:
Dear SRA few days ago we wrote
| to you and the mayors of seven hun
bred other cities in the United States,
requesting the naming of committee
| of prominent citizens who would Or
! ganize a branch of the Cuban league of
the United States. We are receiving
most satisfactory responses to these
letters from all sections of the republic.
| In no instance have we received re-
fusal from a mayor to accede to our re-
| quest.
THE sentiment in favor of the indie
pendence of Cuba from the reports we
are receiving appears to be universal
throughout the country. Our desire is
to give such expression to this senti-
ment as will justify the executive in
taking prompt action to end the CAM
paign of murder and destruction now
being carried on in that island at our
very door.
IF you have not already sent us the
names of a committee for organization
| in your city, will you kindly do so at
| once as we desire that every city In
| the land should have a share in pro-
noting the cause of human liberty in
Cuba.
Again, will you kindly hand enclos-
ed clipping to just the right lady In
your city, with the request that she
will appoint other ladies, who, associ
ated with her, can and will organize
entertainments, as these representative
ladies of New York are doing? Please
request her to report to us the progress
she makes.
/ 1--WE shall be pleased to render then
such aid as we can. 1t is apparent tt
all thoughtful observers that Spain ha:
not the power to crush the Cuban pa
triots. and therefore the continuance
of the cruel struggle in Cuba can only
serve to prolong sense of abasemen
and humiliation in the minds of al
men who are confident that this repub
lie has the power to end it, and is II
honor called upon to do so for the high
est good of all the parties directly con
perne6

The weekly crop bulletin for the
week ending Tuesday, Aug. 81, says:
The weather conditions during the past
week have been characterized by warm
days, cool nights, and u general lack
of moisture, but on the whole more
favorable for the maturity of the re-
naming crops than the preceding
week. Light frosts occurred at points
in the northeastern counties early in
suited Rain is badly needed in all
portions of the State for the maturity
of corn and potatoes, rs we'll as for
fall ploughing. Grain is now all in
the stack and in the Southern and
Middle sections threshing is nearing
completion. Grain is turning out
well generally better than was eX-
pectcd both in quality and quantity.
Corn has not made as much progress
during the week as was hoped. The
cool nights and insufficient moisture
have retarded its growth SO that from
two to four weeks are still needed to
place it beyond reach of frost. In the
southern section the early paintings
and the early varieties are approach
ing maturity, but these include only n
small proportion of the crop. Gencr-
ally the crop is in good condition, but
the dry weather will result to some eX-
tent in imperfect filling, especially on
the tips of the ears. Potatoes need
rain but even with good weather the
crop will only be fair. Buckwheat is
in good condition and will require
from two to three weeks to fully ripen.
The cranberry crop is reported good
The vines are heavily loaded, but the
fruit is rather uneven and late, owing
to the late spring frosts and cold
weather.. Two or three weeks will
place them beyond the roach of frost
Fall ploughing has commenced, but
the soil is very dry and most farmers
are waiting for rain before continuing
the work

"lF BRYAN:cAME TO NEBRASKA"

A good friend from Montana sends
us II copy Of II paper containing II re-
cent speech made by Hon. w. J,
Bryan. 1t Is the same speech only
changed here and there IN phrascol-
ogy, that Mr.. Bryan was wont to de-
liver in the last campaign. No an
swcr to the speech Is required, The
logic Of events has made any reply
wholly unnecessary. But here Is an
article from the pen of MIR. Albert
Watkins, which lately appeared in the
leading paper of Nebraska, that meets
the condition with which Mr. Bryan
thinks he is conlrontcd
From this present spell of eco
nomic weather. which Is SO damag-
ing to his past political seed
sowing and to his future political
crop prospects, MIR. Bryan enjoys
n calm, n sure retreat in the
houndlcss coutiguity of shade in

he would find that the old home
isn't what ii used to be.
He would find that while within
the few months which have
elapsed since his phenomenal at
tempt to force the country to II sill
yer standard and measure OF
values, wheat has advanced IN
price, in obedience to the natural
law of supply and demand, about
30 per cent, and to very hand
some absolute figure IN gold,
while silver has shrunkcn in price
moro than Ii per cont, II bryan
came to Nebraska.
This change III the value like
ness some IL per cent OF the
celebrated Siamcso twins, silver
and wheat would put even his
agile imagination to the seNerst
test to recognize the twinship, II
BRYAN came to Nebraska.
He would doubtless observe the
most visible and palpablc OF con-
temporary facts, namely that this
state has teeming crops OF all
kinds and that the same being
true to n greater or less degree, OF
the whole country, the marketing
OF these vast agricultural pro-
duets will involve n great export
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1897-09-02

trade, if Bryan came to Ne
braska.
He would then, doubtless, reflect
on the enormous disadvantage
and loss which the farmer of this
state and of the whole country
would suffer if, in accordance with
his behests. a silver standard had
been adopted last year, through
the destruction of the par of ex-
change between this country and
the countries which are to buy our
surplus crops and which par of
exchange is now intact and, for
the purpose of this great trade, in
providential working order, the
selling country and the buying
countries having, all alike the
gold standard. He would doubt
less reflect on the tragic pictures
Of the loss sustained by the coun-
try with the cheaper or fluctating
money standard which are painted
in the writings of those noted BIZ
metallists Walker and the mar
tyred Andrews, If Bryan came to
Nebraska.
And, counting all things but
loss for the cXccllency of the
knowledge that he is above all
and all things the peoples friend,
he would doubtless be constrained
to rejoice with the people in con-
temptation of the inestimable bless
ing of the absolutely safe and
steady worlds market which the
gold or world Is standard affords
them at this most opportunc time,
if Bryan came to Nebraska.
Moreover, in view of the fact
that while few years ago, when
the IL to | scheme was promul-
gated, the comparatively high
standing of silver in the market
and that the promise of larger
use of silver rs money by inter-
national action, was somewhat
plausible, whereas without bust
ness CONFUSION or other particu-
lar reason, except its own dead
weight, silver has lately fallen so
that Is to coinage the silver in n
dollar would be worth only slight
ly more than two-tifths as much as
the gold dollar, he would be con
strained to admit the utter alb
surdity of the claim that the two
kinds of money would circulate
together with free and unlimited
coinage, If Bryan came to Ne
braska.
With these formidable facts,
conforming to reason and answer
ing the predictions OF genuine
gold standard advocates in this
state, made several years ago,
against him, he would be forced
to the position of defending the
principle of single silver stan
dard for this country, if Bryan
came to Nebraska.
In view, therefor, of this mo-
mcntous logic of events, including
the fact that three great staples of
the west, wheat, cattle and hogs,
had risen to remunerative prices
under the gold standard, it is nat
ural that he has arranged for a
soiourn in Mexico, the only free
and unlimited coinage country on
earth; which illustrates the newt
able recurrence to single stan
dard under unlimited coinage of
both silver and gold and which is
suffering the pains and penalties
of the silver standard, amounting,
since the recent slump in silver, to
commercial convulsion; and
where, therefore, he may find, in
full measure, the misery which
loves company and which he
would not find, If Bryan came to
Nebraska.

What 1t Means.

When we advertise that we will
guarantee DR.. Kings New Discovery,
Electric Bitters, Bucklin's Arnica
Salve, or DR.. King New Life Pills,
it means that we are authorized by the
proprietors to sell these remedies on a
positive guarantee, that if purchaser
is not satisfied with results, we will
refund the purchase price. These
medicines have been sold on this guar
antee for many years and there could
be no more conclusive evidence Of
their great merit. Ask about them

plan will secure needed protection
against fires, and also the nucleus of
a water works system which in due
time will be extended to every part OF
the city.
TO The Democrat it would seem to
be worse than folly for the people to
refuse to give the council power to
borrow the sum Of IS 900 for the pur-
pose named. Fifteen hundred dollars
of the amount will be paid back to the
city by owners OF property on High
street, and If the city cannot afford the
expenditure OF between SO, 600 and
SO, 500 for so necessary a purpose,
1t better asked to be erased from the
map.
The Democrat has heretofore shown
that the plant can now be put in at
much less cost than at any previous
time, there being reduction OF at
least 25 per cent in the cost of pipes
for the mains: and further that at
least one-half of the money expended
In the construction Of the plant will be
paid for labor and materials obtain
ed mt home, and the specifications and
requirements call for the employment
OF home labor. Mineral Point can
not afford to take ~ backward step in
the matter. IL has long been the won
der of our ncighboring cities and
villages that we have been SO far be-
hind the times IN regard TO water
works and fire protection: and IT
is admitted by everybody that the
destruction of over 100000 of
on the morning of the Attn
of last May, could have been avertcd
had our city IN time followed the
course which is now contemplated.
The Democrat believes that If the
plant is secured, rapid cx-
tensions OF the system will follow, and
that in this respect Us it is in many
others old Mineral Point will he an
