If the predictions of Director
Preston of the United State Mint
about the increase in gold produc-
ton prove true, the silver cause will
have difficulty in getting recognition
by the great political powers in 1900
1t is now in order for the calamity
howlers and fraud criers to charge
that the farmer is now receiving the
reward for his treachery in voting
for Mckinley and refusing to sup
port Bryan, the farmers's friends, in
that the trusts and plutocrats have
raised the prices of wheat and other
farm products in order to pay him
for his vote.
The farmers of the country have
been the first to feel the improved
conditions of business. The pro-
ducts which they have had for sale
have steadily risen in value all along
the line, and the increased volume
of money has come directly into
their pockets. "Bradstreet's," in
speaking of the present condition of
the American farmer, says: 'The
American agriculturist has had no
such opportunity to reap so large a
share of the rewards of labor for
years as is now promised him."

taken any steps toward preparing a

mending the establishment of a depart
ment Of commerce and that 1t is ex-

Paragraphs have been floating

from embracing such"a recommends

wanted to call particular attention to
the need of such a bureau, and that
could be done more effectively by max

quite possible that the president favors

slider its need urgent enough to require

dent will approve.

vA REMAINS IN FACTORY.
attorney, on Both Sides In Luetgert Case
Agree on One Point


Chicago. Dec 25.-It is now nract,-
caily certain there will be no further
effort to exhibit the Luetgert vat in a
downtown museum. The ATTORNEYS for
the prosecution and defense object 10
the removal ~ the famous wooden box
and Ralph Bradley, the receiver for
Luetgerts creditors, is said TO have
decided To leave it in its place in the
factory basement. Contrary 20 renorts
circulated, Attorney Harmon did not
ask restraining order from Judge
Hanecy. II was stated that he would
seek to prevent the removal of the vat
by an injunction.
AS now arranged the factory will be
opened Jan. l to visitors. An admis-
sion price OF 25 cents will be imposed
on those who wish to satisfy their Curl
osity as to the interior OF the big build-
ing where Luetgert is alleged to have
committed the crime of the century.
Attorneys for Luetgert have held a
conference and have made an amica-
Bile arrangement of the work. The fric-
tion which was becoming apparent to
those who watched the proceedings In
the court room has probably been dis
posed of as a result.
Attorney Harmon is chief counsel,
and will have the case practically in
his charge, but in future Attorneys
Riese and Kehoe win have an oppor-
tunity to do more active work in the
court room. Frank Odorofsky, the fac
tory employe who broke up the potash
and placed it in barrels ready to be
placed in the middle vat, is still on the
witness stand. Attorney Harmon has
not completed his cross-examination
and may need the entire day to do so.
