Hazel Green NO. Herald: If any
of our subscribers have wells that are
falling in water and will put a pint of
salt in their wells they will find an
increase of water within "a hours.
We do net know the philosophy of the
matter, but several instances in town
where the experiment has been tried
demonstrates beyond doubt the eff
cacy of the experiment. DR.. Nickel
Z. James, the editor of this paper,
and others have used salt for this pur-
pose and can testify as to the results.
The two first named found an increase
of one foot of water in their wells
within "a hours. A little salt. prop
erly applied, will convince the most
skeptical and we hope all who are
suffering short supply of water will
try it.

Republican Criticism of Taxed Hides.

According to the protective theory the
imposition of tax on noncompeting
articles adds to their cost to the con.
sumer. This theory would be aptly ex-
emplified in the proposed duties on
hides, as the people would be compelled
to pay more for their footwear. 1t is es-
timated that the increased cost of boots
and shoes for one year under the pro-
posed duty would amount to $50, 00o,-
900. With free hides our manufacturers
of leather goods have been able to build
up great export trade in footwear. AS
Mr.. Blaine said when il was proposed
to put duty on hides in the law OF
1890, 1T will yield a profit to the
butcher only-the last man that needs
it." The interests Of the tanners and
shoe manufacturers are vastly more
important than the interests Of butch
ers and western ranchmen. Chicago

must hurt themI Yes, it does hurt
them little, but they can stand it for
the sake of their good friend the mon

certain chat they have long been fast

A Great County For Corn.

Jewell county, Kan, produced TO-
740, 741 bushels of corn in 1896. Jewell
is the only county in Kansas that ever
passed the 100000 mark. In the
past 22 years Jewell county has pro-
duced 10000, 600 bushels of corn, or
5000, 600 bushels per annum on an
average, and during that time there have
never been "a consecutive months in
which corn did not bring at least 20
cents per bushel.
In 1896 Jewell county raised not only
1,7O0, 600 bushels more than any other
county III the state, but more than twice
as much as all the states and territories
lying west of Kansas. She raised more
corn in 1896 than all of the New Eng
land states put together. Jewell county
alone raised one-tenth as much corn as
the great state of Indiana. Kansas City

VIEWERS Paper Pronises.

Our "Grcenbackers should rejoice
over the fact that another paper money
experiments being tried. IF greenbacks
put down the rebellion in the United
States, why shouldn't they prove effect
i've weapons against Cuban rebels?''--
reasons General Weyler, who is flooding
the coast towns of Cuba with artistically
engraved promises TO pay ON one side Of
piece of paper and picture Of well
developed tobacco plant on the other
side.
The experiment is bound to be sue
cessful, for tho notes are made legal
tender in the worst way. Any shop
keeper who refuses to accept these prom
Uses for their face value is subject to in
slant Imprisonment in jails where con-
finement means almost certain death
Of course under the circumstances the
notes are accepted. Weyler, however,
forgot to decree that prices should not
be raised, and the Cuban shopkeepers
are mean enough to try to defeat the
experiment by raising prices. So far
they have only doubled prices, but each
one is trying to see how high he can put
prices, and the end is not in sight.
Come to think of it, high prices, con-
stantly growing higher, have defeated
all past experiments with paper money.
Perhaps Weyleryby correcting this little
defect, may yet demonstrate that Green
hackers are right and that cheap money,
by proper legislation, can be made just
as good as money made from costly
metals. What boon plenty of money
would be TO mankind! Success to Wey-
ler's experiment and death to the traitor
who tries to prevent its success by rails
ing prices or by refusing 10 accept Wey-
ler's handsome PROMISES!

\ We have lately given s~ue account ca
the operation of agricultural bari.s IN
| Europe, which have done very ach for
the farming class by making il poss IDLE
for il To secure loans on such security as
| farmers can offer. The farmer Is espe-
cially in need of credit, for the interval
mast always be considerable between
the preparation Of the soil and the har-
vesting of the crop. He must spend
money a long time before he can get
any back. AS to most of his products, he
may be said TO be carrying ON bust
ness where the stock is turned over but
once year Furthermore, as a crop
natures all over the country at the same
season, and generally within period of
q few weeks, il is particularly impor
tant 10 the farmer, that he should not be
compelled 10 realize on his haryests inn
mediately. He would break the market
if he were obliged to sell all his crops
as soon as gathered, and yet he must
sell good deal, for he has been under
expense for months without any income.
While the farmer more than almost
any other producer needs credit he can
not generally offer commercial security,
and real estate is not good security for
ordinary hanks of discount to take, and
it is unlawful for our national banks TO
accept it. The result is that the farmer
is usually compelled TO sell his produce
at an unpropitious time or to get credit
of merchants and private bankers for
which usurious rates are obtained. In
this country there has been practically
no effort TO supply this need for agricul-
tural credits, although the brokers and
private bankers and factors who have
made a practice of lending to farmers
have made a great deal of money out of
it, for the absence of competition en-
ables them to get high rate for money,
and the farmer pretty generally pays his
debts.
1t is singular that in our own country
no effort has been made to afford agri-
culture in general the capital it needs
for the improving of land and for carry
ing on farm operations during the long
intervals between the annual marketing
of crops. The changed conditions of the
times make it imperative that farming
must be conducted upon more scientific
principles so as TO get out of the land
more than it has heretofore produced,
and that necessity leaves no alternative
but either TO afford the farmer enlarged
credit facilities or to leave the present
landholders TO be frozen out by insolv-
ency, with the result of transferring this
industry to class possessing ampler
means and able to cultivate larger farms
upon improved methods. Journal Of
Commerce and Commercial Bulletin.

A Movement For Currency Reform.


The Massachusetts Reform club of
Boston has commenced a systematic
movement for practical currency reform.
1t has recently passed formal resolutions
demanding that congress shall adopt
some safe plan whereby our legal ten
der paper and silver and our silver GER
tificates shall be slowly withdrawn, and
gold, gold certificates and bank notes
shall gradually take their places. " They
further advocate 'such legislation as
will encourage the establishment and
successful operation of small banks with
local capital and knowledge of credits. +"
These resolutions are being sent
throughout the country, accompanied by
a statement setting forth the views Of
the club and requesting every friend
OF currency reform TO sign the resolu-
lions and send them to congress.
This movement is exactly in line with
the action of the indianapolis confer
ence, which was to impress congress
with the fact that there is an over
whelming public sentiment in favor Of
currency reform. Chicago Times Her
