would control the price OF all property

certainly believe 10 doing this by
making something more than a mere
silver party. The resistance TO
money contraction and money mono
poly mead more than simple silver
coinage. That Is a line OF battle, but
not the objective point Of the cam
paigD. Silver Democrats are divided
by more than silver from the other
Democrats. Silver Republicans have
more than silver TO quarrel over with
other Republicans.
BY all the sound money party, both
Silver Republicans and Silver Demo-
Gratis are called Populists; and 50 they
are. Resistance TO the gold money
program compels Identification with

Gratis and Republicans as a name OF

STRICTLY HIGH GRADE.


Dealers in hops the world over have
Of late years learned that the crop OF
the Pacific coast is strictly high grade
and WORTH looking after. Many sec
tions throughout both Oregon and
Washington are adapted to this In
dustry and a great deal Of attention
is being paid to the cultivation OF
this crop. The following from the
Puyallup Citizen shows something of
its magnitude and requirements in
the Puyallup Valley.
1.-THE Meekers are growing Gil acres
OF hops. 1t takes 5000 pounds OF
Irvine to string their yards, 1900 gal
Ions OF whale oil and $500 pounds Of
caustic soda for spraying. During
picking time they will employ in all
about43OO persons who will earn an
average of about 81 per day each.
They employ no less than 100 persons
throughout the year.
NEW YORK ADvICEs.
Mail adYiees OF recent date from
New York furnish the following re-
view OF the hop market:
Exporters have shown a little inter-

hops, and occasional purchases have
been made at 11612c for state lots
and up to l3c for strictly choice Pa
cities. The demand is by no means
large, but 1t tends to check the devel.
opment OF much weakness on high
class stock. Home brewers still show
the same indifference that has char
acterized their movements since the
holiday season. 1t is dificult to get
them to look at samples unless the
quality and price are particularly at

clIned TO buy, seeing nothing in the
