many of the present generation, idle

tariff is likely to warrant the conf

satisfactorily increasing month by

monthly surplus instead Of a deficit,

TO the Editor OF The Republican.
After an experience of the past
summer in this country we feel as
though we have done wise in coming
here. and are now convinced that TINS
country is not too far north to afford
us the finest Of crops, and especially
when we realize the fact that wheat
and other small grain is raised sue
cessfully as far north as Winnipeg, a
distance of over 1000 miles north OF
this place.
This country is vast undulated
prairie intersperced with many small
lakes and sloughs. The lakes not
only afford pleasure to the sportsman
in hunting seasons, but also answer
as irrigators in dry seasons. The
/ sloughs are noted for their fine quail
ity of grasses, and yield from four tc
five tons of the finest nutritious hay
TO the acre. Stock will fatten readily
on this hay alone without any grain
The soil is a black loan, highly
productive, and the climate is espe
cially adapted to spring wheat, oats
barley and flax. Potatoes and al
garden vegetables do exceedingl
well. This country has more dayligh

COUNTRIES which are operating up
on silver basis have been bordering
upon panic during the last year. Sill
yer has decreased twenty per cent. or
one-tifth of it's value during that time.
Thus, if a man loaned $500 he would
receive but $400 in payment; he would
receive five hundred silver dollars in
payment for the five hundred silver
dollars that he loaned, but they would
be worth in the markets of the world
but four-tifths of the value loaned.
This is condition which would ex-
actly suit the people who were last
year clamoring for an opportunity tc
pay their debts in deprecated money

THE friends of silver are becoming
fewer and fewer. Senator Stewart
has told the people that they may as
well fall in line and get their share OF
prosperity, as it is useless to talk sill
yer now; ex-Gov. Altgeld has dropped
silver, and is said to be organizing a
paper-money party, and Gov. Boles
has denounced the 16 to proposition
as suicidal, in view of the great dis
crepancy between the coinage ratio
and commercial ratiOns of silver.
Many other Democrats, being green
hackers at heart, have advocated free
silver as simply stepping stone tc
true tiatism, and now that free silver
is becoming 50 unpopular they are
gradually dropping it.
