are not dead. They will live forever
until the great crime of 1878 is righted
and the United States takes the lead in

storing bimetallism, the re-establish-
ment Of the double standard. The fight
has just begun. Let no goldbug or Re-
publican imagine that the silver cause
is dead. The fires will be kept up until
the national Democratic convention con.
venes in 1900, when the party will
again declare for free silver and nomi.

Sumner County Leads in Wheat.

Senator FOrney. of Belle Plaine, spent
a few days in Topeka last week. He is
serving his second term from Sumner
county. He thinks that the wheat crop
of his county is underestimated. "The
statisticians put it at 4,500,0 900 bushels"
he said to an Advocate reporter, "but it
will undoubtedly closely approximate
100000 bushels These estimates are
made on basis of twenty-five bushels
to the acre. I know of no grain in my
neighborhood which has threshed out
less than twenty-five bushels, and some
of it has reached double that figure.
Then, many farmers do not give in their
full acreage to the assessors The asses
sor takes these figures, not for assess
ment purposes, but for a basis for the
compilation of crop statistics. Many
farmers believe that the giving to the
public of these figures benefits the buy
ers more than the sellers of farm prod
ucts and they withhold the true figures.
This is why I say our acreage is placed
too low

Socialist Labor Followers Not Numerous

For some time rumors of the cOntem-
plated organization Of the Socialist La
Dor party in the mining sections in Cher
okee and Crawford counties have been
atloat. 1t has been asserted that the or
ganization has 1,50O followers in Craw-
ford county, most of whom are drawn
from the Populists. State Oil Inspector
r. " Wharton, who has recently spent
some time in those counties in connec-
tion with his official duties, says that in
his opinion organizations of the kind
are being perfected, but that the mem
bership does not assume formidable pro-
portions. He believes that the new or
ganization will not seriously impair the
healthy POpulist majorities in those
counties
