BOWLING.
The Missions Make Two Records-The
Hills Won a Good Game.

Records may come and go but there
is a bowling record which was made
last night that will remain mistaken
for sometime to come. In the first
game of the Alamo-Mission series at
Mission garden last night the Missions
made the phenomenal score of 80 in a
single inning. 1t was the second in
ming. The Missions score of that
game was 1868, which eclipses any yet
made on local alley. Considering the
fact that it was made on the Mission
garden alley, which is one of the most
treacherous in the city, due to the
many ruts which it contains, this score
is a most remarkable one.
Following are the scores by innings
of the Mission-Alamo games:
First game
Missions ....... :. 80 SO So 81 so 61-S6S

At Sommer's garden the Hayseeds
and Government Hill Thespians were
opposing FORCES III the loSdi po"hhS
tourney. The Hills had not won game
in the proverbial, and they were about
to break their record. After the Hay
seeds took them into camp the Hills
went into the second game with re-
newed energy, and by determined
effort won the game by handsome
majority. The scores of the winners
in both games were good ones, the
Hayseeds' score being 315 and the
Thespians 1874.

A Bio Woods Fire.

One of the most disastrous woods
fires for many years in the vicinity of
Smithburg, broke our ON Thursday
of last week about 10 NJ. noon, from a
piece of new ground owned by VIM.
Burk. Jr. The flames swept every
thing before it. Several houses were
ia danger but by the aid of the
people who fought the flames, the
buildings were saved from total de-
struction. Some of those who fought
the fire became exhausted and were
obliged to stop work. Fully one
thousand acres were burned over,
most of it being valuable timber,
also a lot of market wood, cranberry
bogs, fences and cedar swamps. The
fire extended three miles in length
and over mile wide. The principal
losers are: Ellen Lemon, ex-Sherift

Our Farmers win Pront.

Estimates made by the Government sta
tisticians of the United States and Aus
traHungaTy place the deficiency in the
worlds wheat supply for this year at 202,
100000 bushels. The total crop of last
year fell 130,0O0,000 bushels short of the
average. the net deficiency of the two
years aggregates 49,. COG, 900, or more
than one-sixth of normal years supply
This is sufficient to account for the ad-
vance in prices. when taken in connection
with the fact that the consuming popula-
ton is constantly increasing. Reports
from the wheat exporting countries of
the Southern Hemisphere promise good
average yield from the next harvest. but
the outlook for next years American win
ter wheat is bad enough to more than bal
ance the good promise of Australia and
Argentina. On the whole, the outlook is
for no better supply next year than this,
including India.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

PopuIfsts Drowning 1t,

The Populist party is rapidly abandon
ing the free silver proposition. The To
peka, Kan, Advocate, a recognized Off
cial organ of the Populist party, in re
cent editorial, says: 1.-The principal differ
ence between the orthodox Populist and
the Republicans and Democrats on the
money question consists in the fact that
he believes paper money of the right sort
is as good as gold or silver, and does not
need to be redeemed in either metal.
He knows that the fat or the law written
on the coin lone dollar is its commission
and gives it its legal value, and he cares
nothing about the value Of bullion.
There is no more room in the bimetallic
theory for the fat idea than there is in
the monometallic theory"

that the money power could control the

what About Corn, Pork and wool2

: How do the free silver and free trade
theorists who are charging up the advance
in wheat to the shortage abroad account
for the advance in all other farm products,
corn, rye, beef, pork, wool, cattle, horses,
sheep, hops, tobacco and potatoes? The
fact is that it is due to the increased con-
sumption al home. People who earn little
economic in eating; those whose earn
ings are increased spend far more for
food and get that of better quality.
When the working people of the United
States employed at good wages they
buy more food and clothing than when un-
employed or working for half pay. 1t is
a protective tariff that does the business.

CAN'T MAKE TIN. CAN'T WEI
Old Free Trade Argument Knocked
Into Cooked Hat.

Everybody remembers how the free
traders scoffed at the idea of making tin
plate in this country, and how long they
denied that it was being made at all. Now
making tin plate enough to supply
our own markets and ship some abroad,
and we are making it better and cheaper
than the Welshmen did. London Hard
ware of Sept. 16 says, referring to the
Welsh makers: 1T is not their fault if the
American works. brand new in all their
appoin tments, turn out plates little
cheaper than the Welsh mills Besides,
the Americans get their tin bars cheaper.
OF course the loss of the Ameri-
can trade is a great disaster, but it came
in the natural order of things, and must
be accepted patiently There never was
n greater triumph for the protection prin-
ciple, or Il pla 'ne: demonstration Of IT'S
effectiveness, than the establishment of
the tin plate industry in this country, and
appreciation of that fact was one reason
why the free traders fought it so malig-
misunderstanding Commercial.

Mckinley and 25-Cent Wheat,

The free silverites last year made sun
dry bold statements about a contracted
currency; that there was not enough mon
ey in the country with which to do bust
ness. and that the only way out of it was
by the adoption of the free and unlimited
coinage scheme. This would fix things up
all right, but unless adopted, many terri
BILE things would happen; wheat would
drop to % cents q bushel, mortgages
would be foreclosed, men could find no
employment, and general gloom would
settle over the country, such as had never
been seen before. 1t viii be remembered,
however, that the free coinage proposition
was not adopted by the voters of the coun-
try, and yet in spite of this fact the circu-
lation of the country within a year has
increased nearly 100000, 900, wheat has
gone up to the dollar mark, mortgages are
being rapidly paid off, men are employ ed
everywhere, and the only gloom observa-
BILE in the country comes from the fac
tory smoke.

Compares the Two Laws.

The American Economist contains an
instructive comparison between the first
two months of the Wilson tariff and the
Dingley tariff. The figures show that dur
ing the first month of its operation, Sep
TENDER, 1894, the Wilson bill yielded a
revenue of $50, 621 ,229 and during the sec
ond month SIS, 13o, 24O. The Dingley bill
produced S19,023, 615 during the first
month of its operation and 81, 933, 09S
during the second. The point of contrast
is that while the Wilson bill showed a
large falling off in the second month the
Dingley bill shows a large gain and 81
193, sos more than the total revenue re-
ceiyed during the second month of the
Wilson bill. From another point of view,
covering expenditures as well as receipts,
the deficit during the first month of the
Dingley bill was nearly 81 100000 greater
than during the first month of the Wilson
bill. while in the second month of the
Dingley bill the deficit was over 10000
600 less than in the second month of the
Wilson bill. The Wilson bill deficit grew
a. the bill got older and continued to in
crease, while the Dingley bill deficit was
81 900, 900 less in the second month than
in the first, showing the superiority of
the Dingley bill as producer of revenue,
while as a producer of prosperity there is
no room for comparison. The Wilson bill
destroyed prosperity, while the Dingley
bill is restoring it.

Political BIRD Shot.

Reports from the farming regions show
that the corn is shocked. So are the free
silver advocates who note its advance in
value.
Those dark clouds that hang over every
manufacturing town nowadays are not of
dangerous character, except to the ca
lamity howlers.
The Bank of England is becoming
alarmed at the outflow of gold from its
Golfers to this country, and various meas
ures are being attempted to stop it But
it still continues to come.
The Democratic newspapers are bewail-
ing the fact that the deficit of the second
month Of the Dingley law was over three
million dollars ($3, 0O0, COO. They prob
ably did not notice that the deficit of the
second month of the Wilson law was over
$13, 600, 600.

Treasury officials now have doubt
that the Dingley law will produce ample
revenues after it gets fairly at work. The
earnings of its second month exceeded
those of the second month of the Wilson
law. and are steadily growing.
Secretary Wilson says the beet sugar
manufactures in the United States will
be quadrupied in number in the next
year Is this due to famine abroad?
OF course the Dingley law must not be
credited with it.
Prof. Wilson is so busy with his new
duties that he hasn't had time to explain
why farm products and prices of labor in

into operation.
The Democratic New York Journal says
that gold is on its way to New York and
the tide of domestic manufa curing inter-

all along the line
1t will be noticed that the total loss on
the value of the farm animals of the Unit
ed States during the years 1893, 1894,
1895 and 1896 reached the enormous ag-
gregate of $3.50, 422, 96S. That is the
loss in the value of farm animals alone
during the past four years.
These are vitality important facts to the
farmers of the nation, and they are only
another link in the chain of official proofs
prepared by free trade officials-that the
farmers of the United States lost over
FIVE billions of dollars by the decreased
consumption and decreased values of their
crops during the four years of free trade
government and free silver agitation. The
readers should constantly remember that
the statistics given here are not Register
