He was a little chap about three
feet high, and he had been in the
library after a book about which he
seemed TO have some misgivings. so he
stopped passerhy and inquired
whether a story about "In the Forests"
was likely to be Of interest. The per-
son addressed assured the yOungster
that such books told of birds, animals
and nature in general and We're de-

The followers of Mr.. Bryan last fall
made their rallying cry More money!"
They did not get Mr.. Bryan into the
presidency, but they and all the rest Of
the people care getting more money"
and that speedily. The only way to get
money is by work. By the passage of
the D;ngley bill the home market has
been restored to American manufacture
ers The wheels of industry are already
beginning to turn, and a wider oppor-

of work in the near future, and plenty
of work means plenty of money.

Boies' New Plan.

which was popular With the Populists
two or three years ago as applied tc
farm products only, is nov proposed by
ex-Gov. Boies of Iowa as the only meths
cd by which silver can safely be made

in view of the continued fall of silver,
the Democratic party abandon the free
coinage proposition and propose the
purchase by the Government Of silver
bullion at it's market value, issuing Ger.
titicates therefor redeemable in silver
bullion ut its market value, whatever it
may be at any time.

No More British Tin Plato.

Before the tin plate industry was es-
tablished in the United States by the
Mckinley Tariff, there were quite a
number of Americans in Liverpool who
acted as agents for American importers
of Welsh tin plate, Liverpool being the
chief port of export. Since we have
been making our W. tin plate, all of
these agents have returned home with
the exception of one who is expected
back this month to take charge of a
tin plate factory in Pennsylvania. This
will practically conclude the American
trade in foreign tin plate and practical
ly complete the acquisition of the
American market by the American tin
plate industry which was established
under the Mckinley Protective Tariff
of 1890.

The average annual increase in our

ering the shoddy character Of the for
eign goods imported, and the idleness of
our people, since 1894, it is safe to say
that the excessive imports for the three

KANSAS POULTRY INDUSTRY.

Secretary of Agriculture COburn Prepares
Some Interesting Statistics ON the Sub

Topeka, Kan, May 98,-F. D. Co
burn, secretary of the state board of
agriculture, has issued the report of
his department for the quarter ended
March 81. 1t is mainly devoted to the
poultry industry, and no document
issued by the department since its or
ganization has been more interesting,
and the information it gives is rev.
elation. The introduction briefly
summarizes the contents of the re-
port. 1t says that the value of Kansas
poultry and eggs sold last year was 49,
sos, s15, or 10 per cent. more than the
entire value of the rye, barley, buck
wheat, castor beans, cotton, hemp,
tobacco, broom corn, Milo maize, Jeru-
salem corn, garden and horticultural
products marketed, and of the wine,
honey, sheep and wool sold the same
year. No field crops, with the exception
of wheat, corn and hay, equaled in
value the surplus sold from the Kansas
hens, ducks, turkeys and geese. The
average value of poultry and eggs sold
annually in the state, as returned to
assessors, in the five years ending with
1896, was So, 1888, 562, or value greater
by nearly ten per cent than that of
the potato crops for the same years,
