the Democrats, created the Board
Of Railroad and Warehouse Com
missioners, to make four Offices for
their ''.tatcSmen out Of Jobs =

making $4,000 more for the
soil-tillers to put Salem Re

The sound money Democrats ar,
making quite a stir in the Demo-
cratic primaries in Missouri. They
carried Linn County a few days
ago by majority of 1862. though
in 1896 Bryan received 1927 votes
and a ma ajority Of 3l2. The silver
Democrats Of Linn say they vii
join in with the Populists. That i:
all right. They ought to 90 where
they borrow their principles

and stop pretending to be Demo

lars! Where is that forgotten
oracle the Coins Financial Fool.
who was crstwhilc 50 loud in tell
ing the farmers that dollar wheat
was cxilcd by the ''crimc Of 713, "
and that it could never return un-
less they brought it back by dilut-
ing the nations money with 50 per
cent of lia: wind.
To day The farmers have both
sound money and dollar wheat.
More than this, they have wheat
cayorting about anywhere between
81 and S1.75, with the nation 5
credit unimparcd and its Golfers
full in spite Of a foreign war. Not
even a Bryan and Coin Harvey
can twist the present wheat prices
into anything to uphold their cx-
ploded fallacies. All they can do
is to keep still. They cannot say
these prices arc due to the war,
for we had dollar wheat long be-
fore war began and we shall have
it long after the war ceases. They
cannot say that dollar wheat is
caused by the manipulations OF
SPECTATORS, for all Europe is offer
ing the hard cash for the actual
grain. In the face of the cold facts
they can only leave that oft repeat
| ed falsefood-about cheap whca,
being due to The gold standard
and let It slump into oblivion while
they hatch some new fake in theil
silver Incubator.
History will in its own good
time give the lie to every one Of
the assertions Of the free silver
economic school but it is worth
| while Just now to note how pretti
ly il has done this in regard to the
| cheap wheat argument. 1t is impos-
sih!e to tell how many of the de
!uelcd 6. 5oo,o1 men who voted for
| Bryan in 1896 We're influenced by
that Glib falschood about chcaI
wheat, but it is safe to say a large
proportion of them were. They
cannot be fooled again with that
bait.
The wheat prices Of the last win.
ter have furnished conclusive proc.
to the most unrcilecting farmc1
that wheat values and the golt
standard have no connection. a
Bryan said they had. The higl
prices of 1898, like the low price
Of 1896, are due directly to th'
natural and universal law of sup
ply and demand. Last year
European wheat crop was to 1
great extent failure, while our
was not. The worlds supply O.
grain is greatly reduced, so tha
. some European countries ar
threatened with famine. Americ
is so fortunate as to have enough
and some to spare, and according
ly our farmers and exporters &C
the values which scarce article
are wont to bring in the open mar
ket.
In the preceding years tn
worlds wheat acreage and crop
i. had been steadily increasing an
the American farmer had to tax
the low prices that were the natur
al result of IN over plentiful sup
ply. If there should be anothe
crop failure abroad the values wi
continue high. 1t is purely an &C,

farmer of Comanche township, lying
in the road about quarter of a mile
west of Amos Johnson>s place, fatally
injured from being thrown from a
wagon while his team was running

patched a messenger to Ellinwood to
notify the folks. The neckyoke of
the wagon had broken. letting tie

night. He was in an unconcious con-
d1tion when found. Had been to
Great Bend to bring his daughter up
and was on his way home when the
