II every one of these 125,00O voters
would contribute one dollar to news
paper fund, flrst-class POpulist daily
puper could be established and sue
cessfully maintained at Topeka, and
that would assure the ascendency Of
the party in the State as long as it
would keep itself clean and deserve the
good will Of the people
But, until we take good care Of a
weekly, it is useless to talk about a
daily. The Advocates circulation has
been as high as $4,000, but the average
has been much less than that. It
ought to supply regularly list of 25,-
900 bona fide subscribers, besides the
shOrt-time campaign readers The
paper, like thousands of its contempo-
raries, suffered greatly from the pre-
Vailing hard times. 1t is now on the
up grade again. It's circulation is en-
larging, its advertising business is
slowly but safely increasing, and our
facilities for making a good paper are
greately improved Of late. The reader
can see for himself the quality of mat
ter we send out. The scope of our work
has been much enlarged. We want to
make a irst-class journal for POpulist
paper that neither they nor
we shall be ashamed of.
Now, we ask our present subscribers,
every one of them, to help us extend
the circulation of the Advocate, and as
an inducement we submit the following
(Our regular rate, as all
know, is 81 a Year,. For every NEW
yearly subscription, with so cents ac-
it, sent in by subscriber,
we will send the paper full year. This
offer TO continue in force until the 31st
day Of December next.
We also offer the following club
rates:
Five copies one year, $4.
Ten copies one year, $3.50.
Fifteen copies one year and one to
the person who gets up the club, $1O5O.
Twenty-Five copies one year $3.50
In all cases the money must accom-
pany the names and pOstofice ad
dresses of the subscribers, and the club
list must be all sent at one time. Any
number of names above the club num-
ber may be forwarded with the club
at same time on same terms.
This club OFFER also, will remain in
force until December 31st next.

President Faure wen Guarasa.

NJ. Gourdot, the chief of police in
charge of the Elysee palace, has re-
vived the elaborate police precautions
that were done away with by Presi-
dent Carnot. Twenty picked police
men have been detailed to watch the
presidents apartments day and
night. Although coming under the
immediate supervision OF the project
OF Paris, by whom they are appointed
they have instructions to receive
orders from no person but President
Fiure himself.
Whenever the president leaves the
Elysee he is accompanied by eleven
detectives, who are organized in two
distinct squads OF five men, each
working Independently. The eleventh
man, usually the chief, acts on his
own judgment.
One man is ALWAYS on the box be-
side the presidents coachman, two
ride ahead, two behind, with five
men to guard the side, SD distributed
as to place three detectives, one oil
whom is on foot, at the side nearest

The tour that William j. Bryan is
making of the United States is like
the triumphant procession OF con-

ened one iota of the enthusiasm with
which the people hail their champion,
and the defeat of 1895 is already made
the presage of the overwhelming

chosen their Champion, and will
have no other.-Teliuride (ColJ.

TIME ON MINING BONDS.

There is considerable diversity OF
opinion among mine owners as to the
time they should allow on mine bonds,
but there is tendency to give less
than formerly, owing to the objection
of tying up the property to people
who may. after all. do nothing with
it., says the San Francisco Bulletin.
This objection to long time depends,
however, on the individuals who
b md. II they only tie up the claim
h ,ping to make a commission on a
sale, and then fail to dispose OF it. the
shorter time given them the better,
though they always want six months
or year in which tn carry on their
negotiations. When claim is, how
ever, bonded to a company. who are
to develop it and become the possible
purchasers themselves in the event
Of success, they need considerable
time to prove the worth OF the prop
erty. A provision enforcing "contin-
uous work" is good remedy in this
case, since If they stop, the claim re-
verts to the original owner without
too much time. Those who intend
negotiating ",leals" complain that
sixty or ninety days time is too short
to carry one through, while the mine
owners do not like to tie up their
property too long. Long and easy
termed bonds of course give plenty of
time for investigation and examina-
ton, but are not always fair to the
original owners. 1t is not unusual to
give one, two or three years time or
lease, where companies obligate them
selves to develop the claim during
the period. But people who bond only
to sell should not be given any such
time. In fact, six months, at furthest,
is plenty for such an operation, and
unless it is tn be sod abroad, ninety
days should suffice in most instances.
Hawking a mine about rom one to
another does it no good at all, and it
is for this reason many large owners
decline to bond at all, though they
may sell at stipulated price agreed
upon. Owners of small mines often
bond them for long periods without
knowing much about the men with
whom they negotiate, AMI are thus
prevented from making sale them-
selves, even after the other party has
failed to do so. 1t is proper, there
fore, to inquire carefully into the
standing and the intention of those
who wish to bon,l mining properties.

INTERIOR COTTON BUYING.
Excessive f. o. b. Offers Said to
Cause the Depression.

Excessive f. o. b. Offers said to
Cause the Depression.
The following communication has been
received and published by the New York
Evening Post:
Sir: The price cotton is selling for is a
great disappointment to the south. 1t was
not anticipated, as consumption and pro-
duction were close on each others heels,
and the stock on hand was of extremely
meager proportions. Judged in the light of
past experience, 1t looked as If the crop
would bring two cents per pound more
than it is now bringing. However in the
factors that formerly fixed the price of
cotton, one element differs now, and to
this difference, in the estimation of many
is due the low price now ruling.
The difference consists in the way the
bulk of the cotton crop Is now marketed
as compared with the method in vogue
seven or eight years ago. Formerly the
crop was marketed through the cotton fac
tor in the cities of the south. Now 1t is
done largely through the local buyer at
the Crossroads" depot. The advent Of
the local buyer was hailed with great re-
joicing. The farmer could then sell direct
to the spinner buyer" The cotton factor
would be eliminated as a useless expense,
and the one-half cent per pound cost of
marketing saved. In the light of recent
events IL looks as If the farmer had to a
considerable extent accomplished his pur-
pose of saving the two and one-half dol
lars in commissions and charges, and lost
ten dollars per bale in the value of his cot
ton; a delightful bit of rural financiering.
Formerly the crop was concentrated in
the large cotton centers with cotton fac
tors II was in strong and comparatively
Vie h ,vI,. he
ton, the better it was for both factor and
grower. Factors having control of the
spot cotton, declines in price could often
be successfully resisted and advances in
values maintained. How different the con-
dftions now! The cotton is scattered in
the hands of many, many thousand cot
ton farmers, each marketing his cotton
alone and without reference to the other;
in the hands OF parties mainly who are
in debt and must sell their cotton TO pay
the country merchants store bill.

try buyer Is a force continually acting to
lower the price Of cotton. He is either

endeavoring to get the farmer to accept
the extremely low bid of the shreWd SPIN
ner at a price that will net the buyer %
or 50 cents a bale, or he is flooding the
different markets with Geographic offers
wildng endeavoring to pluck orders from
his almost innumerable competitors. the
number of offers alone causes the amount
of cotton offered to be largely magnifled.
In many instances the local buyer Is I'M
pecunious. and IRs adopted cotton-buying
after having failed in every other line.
This has however, not prevented MIN
this wear from selling ahead thousands of
bales of spot cotton, which 1t would be
impossible for him to deliver We're tne
market to advance. He can readily do
this as he has nothing to lose; ana IL the
market goes his way, as 1t mas done' ne Is
so much the 1ainer.
During the present crop the price mas
been put down notch by notch by the
enormous offers of spot cotton by these
local BUYERS, in spite of the fact that the
size of the crop is purely prospective and
the actual movement is smaller than With
the crop last year, crop which, although
a large one, lacked 100000 bales OF supply
ing consumptive requirements.
That cotton should bring the best posi-
BILE price is a matter of national concern.
MANY schemes have been proposed FOR
marketing the crop, but, on account OF the
large area of territory invoNsd and the
number of parties in interest nothing
feasible has been proposed. 1aissez-taire
must be trusted to bring solution or the
problem. W Colller EsIes'

of about $4,000 bales. Evidently it is
absurd to attach any weight TO estimates
so made, as, indeed, past experience
abundantly shows; and the skeptical trade
treats with heartless derision the added
informa ton that the figures given repre-
sent the real condition. Ordinarily, such
a report would exert some supporting in
tuence; but this year il exerts less than
the arbitrary guess of some minor trader
with a few hundred bales short" who,
following the cue of the more reputed es-
timators, informs the public that the crop
cannot fail TO reach II. 10000 bales. The
market is undeniably very soft but with
the price a cent or so below the cost of
production and large trading going on is
liable to sharp flurres at any moment.
The more conservative bears realize this,
and are disposed to be cautious. The low
est prices were, reached about this time
of the year in 1894, and the market al
ways looks the weakest when at the very
bottom.
Wheat was weak early. and declined
over cents on Monday and Tuesday but
the bears received a rude shaking up in
an opening advance of near &c on We'd
nesday. Afterwards the market ruled
quieter and with more moderate fluctua-
tons, the main feature being a consider
able widening of the premium between
December and May the difference at the
close being 44c. December closed l2c high
er, at 94Ac; May, 1%c lower, at soc. The
cause of this is said to be the apprehen-
sion that there will be less wheat in Chi
cago available for delivery on December
contracts than was calculated on, owing
to the strict inspection and high grade
required. Manipulation of December is
feared; otherwise the news has been most
ly of a bearish tenor.
