positive manner against all future DEALS

with either Of the old parties. These men
and the considerable number Of Southern
and Western voters they represent pro-
pose to keep strictly In the middle OF the

st. Paul, Minn.-The mortgage and

has fallen of more than so per cent dur
ing the last three years. principally In the
last year and half. or nll the loans that
were in existence In Minnesota on farm

Germs differ slightly on the percentage that
mas been paid. The lowest estimate places
II Mt ID per cent and the highest at % per

10 ~ per cent. This is held by the mort
gage and loan concerns to be a wonderful
showing. when il is taken into considera-
tion that vast amount Of money was
loaned in Minnesota during the boom
'ihes. IL means that that much has been
paid back over and above what has been
borrowed. There have been practically
no foreclosures.
mat the State has felt the pinch of
nara times was one Of the great factors
that Kept the farmers from going further
INTO debt. When the bottom fell out Of
the boom the farmer was the first man to
take to 'he woods. He Immediately cut
his expenses and practiced the closest
economy. The farmer incurred no new
debts.
Although diversified farming has gone n
great way toward relieving the Minnesota
farmer OF his debt, by far the greatest
factor has been the dairy interest. There
are hundreds of creameries and half as
many cheese factories in Minnesota, and
the majority OF them have been estab-
lished since 1892. The effect of the es-
adjustment OF these creameries has been
almost electrical. 1t has been the prin-
cipal cause of the large payments of
mortgage loans. At the end of the month
the farmers get returns from the cream
cries. A great many OF them. in fact al
most all the larger creameries, are CO.

MIR. Bryan.s .s-Cen, Dollar.

Mr.. Bryan's speech, as reported in
Democratic paper, fills about half col
umn. 1t is a calamity wall. People who
were afraid of soc dollar six months
ago." he said, would be glad to get 25c
dollar now" The speaker might have
added that his Populist supporters would
be best pleased with no-cent dollar, and
he voted for that himself when he gave
his ballot in 1892 to Weaver as presi
Dental candidate. Mr.. Bryan read
newspaper clipping arguing that the de-
probation Of farm lands in England is due
to the gold standard and the plotting Of
money changers. But he made no refer
ence to the comfortable financial condi-
ton OF England generally and its treasury
surplus. nor to the fact that many British
farmers contend that free trade is the
source OF their troubles. The Nebras
kan's assertion that this country is des-
perately sick seemed particularly grateful
to his audience. The remedy. in his Ian
guage, Is to turn over the affairs OF the
nation to one man and let him think and
act for u.s." While the name OF the man
was not mentioned. il is easy to guess who
he is in the opinion OF the orator.
The statement that the American people
would now he glad to get 25c dollar
shows the glibness of Mr.. Bryan's tongue
and the light calber of his mind. Having
started out to cut the dollar in two. he Is
ready to bisect it again. and would doubt
less drop the remainder without the
slightest ceremony. 1t is this fantastic
readiness to jump into any wildly radical
experiment that makes AR. Bryan n fav-
orite with every revolutionary element
in the country.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-

"At the end of this fiscal year." resum-

cial statements which had just been plac-
ed upon his desk, 1.-THE condition OF the
Government Is all that could be desired.
There is no trouble with the gold reserve,
that barometer of confidence. The busi-

only of cur own country. but of the world

merly held us In its tolls has disappeared.
In its place we have confidence in the

present administration, it is not calam-

sensationnlism of most Of the Democratic
press which is retarding prosperity. In

per one OF the best known stock exchange
men in the country, the head OF the firm

claring that the tide has turned in the
right direction. In accounting for the
strength which the stock market is show

The truth is, our Southern States IRE

ufacturers are advancing steadily. Bust
ness in lumber is growing ut rapid rate,
and the supply of timber is immense. The
great staples of agriculture, with cotton
at their head, have the world for their

much CARRIER than those of the Northern
