THE OVER-pRODlC LIE.

Twenty years ago the cotton crop of the
southern states sold for 20 cents a pound !:
now the price is cents. with actual sales
on tao great cotton exchanges at a figure
even lower than that. More cotton is raised
than the world can uSe--1l 800 600 bales this
year. II goo bales last year 1t costs be-
tween six and seven cents a pound to raise
cotton in the south. while at present prices
the painter gets less than four cents a
pound. The result. of course, is net loss :
vet still the crop increases year after year.
Il, though the fertile southern bottom lands
were good for not hing but cotton growing
Philadelphia Record.
The above is another evidence of nrosner
ity. The planter who loses from two to
three cents on every pound of cotton he
raises Is expected To throw up his hat and
shout hurrah for Mckinley. Again comes
the cry Of over production but it is a lie
as it always has been If every woman in
the world VINO needs it could have a new
calico dress. there wouldn't be half enough
cotton to make the calico. If every DOor
family in the United States could buy what
cotton goods it absolutely needs then every
laoorcr in the South and every cotton fact
cry IN the land would nave to work nights
ana Sundays to fill the demand. There is
none too much cotton but there are too
many people unable to buy and every wear
IS adding TO the number of that unfortunate
class When farmers grow poor because
their crops are too large there is sonnet hing
radically wrong somewhere. When prices
can advance only when the land lies idle
or produces but half crop. there is not
much encouragement for thrift or industry.
IL the people who are unable to buy con-
tnuc to increase in numberS-there will
soon be too much Of everything that the
farmer raises. and falling prices will end
"niy with the universal bankruptcy of the
farming interest

True to predictions the cessation of the
great snow storm was followed 10y clear,
cold weather. which from present indica-
lions will continue for some time. A larger
amount of snow fell than was at first
thought. but it is being rapidly cleared
away from sidewalks and car tracks, and all
street railway lines are now running The
only notable delay in the arrival of pas
senger trains this morning was the CHI
cagO, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha's Chi
cagO train, which was about two hours and
half late, and the Wisconsin Central train
from Chicago. due at $40 a. m, which did
not arrive until l p. m.
The severity of the storm was in great
measure due to the high wind which pre-
vailed, and but short time of the promised
good weather now here will be required to
Obliterate all traces of it.
The temperature during the early morn
ing hours was quite sharp, but as the day
advanced it moderated much and by noon
was reasonably mild, and there is now every
prospect of a mild and pleasant day to-
morrow.
Business has taken on its customary as
pect, all the stores being crowded with
customers, and the holiday trade instead Of
being injured by the storm has seemingly
been accelerated. About the only unpleas-
ant feature of the blizzard now remaining
is the very slippery condition of the side
walks, which are, in some sections almost
impossible. A few hours more Of sunshine
however will do away with this objection
able feature. large force of men has
been at work all day removing the snow
from the streets, and by Thursday every
thing will have returned to its normal
condition.

The true state of the situation is found
in the statement made to the writer by a
distinguished leader in an Eastern state
who always followed the leadership Of the
Republican party as long as it maintained
any semblance of consistency in its claims
of "bimetallism. but in 1896, when it bolted
bodily to the gold-bugs and stole the party
name. he went out with Mr.. Teller and is
now Silver Republican of large influence.
He said:
THE DOMINANT POLITICAL ISSUE
IS RAPIDLY BECOMING ONE OF MET
ALLISM.' RATHER THAN ONE OF b.
METALLISM."
This Is true
The arrogance of the bank power in de-
handing the secret passage of the infamous
McCleary bill will so arouse the people that
the mere silver question will appear a
pigmy by the side of the giant question
of who shall issue and control the vol
ume of all currency-metal or paper, or
both?'
Instead of silver being the leading issue
of the future, it will be a mere incident, a
subsidiary subject in both platform utter
ances and public speeches.
The two leading questions of the future
will be
1. SHALL TRULY REPRESENTA-
TIVE FORM OF GOVERNMENT BE ES-
TABLISHED AND PERPETUATED
AMONG MEN BY MEANS OF THE IN
ITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM?
2 WHO SHALL ISSUE AND CONTROL
THE CURRENCY OF THE COUNTRY?
These two issues are Of such overshadow-
ing Importance that it is hard to dSeide
which should take precedence and both to-
gether will be the browning issues of coming
campalSns.-The NoncOnfOrmist

Keeping Onions.

My plan of keeping onions through the
winter is this: Be sure they are PER
fectly dry when cribbing them, as that
is one of the main points to be consid-
cred. If they are to be disposed of be-
fore cold weather comes. they can be
kept in any dry place where they can
have plenty of air. the best place being
crib built in the same way as a corn
crib, SO the air can circulate freely
through them. Onions to be preserved
through the winter should be kept at a
low temperature, say 80 degrees. There
is no danger of the temperature being too
low just SO they are kept from freezing
and are kept dry. keep mine in a cold
storage built especially for onions OH the
shelf plan, each shelf or bin holding
about so bushels. These shelves are
built with Stats so that the air can crcu-
late freely among the onions. l have
kept them when the temperature was
below zero without their being frozen.
Should they become frozen by chance
they should not be handled, but kept in
the dark. 1t is not the frost that does
the most damage. Above all things mois-
ture and heating in bulk should be
guarded against for winter storing. They
should not be over two feet deep; better
less, if too warm, they grow warm and
rot. IRA GRADER.

Socialists Win.

HAVERHILL, Mass, Nov. 1O.-The
election of James F. Carey and Louis NJ
Scales, of this city, as members of the
state legislature was one of the biggest
surprises Of the election. Both Carey
and Scales were nominees of the Social
istLabor party, and are the first candi-
dates of this party elected to the legis-
lature of any state. Their success is due
wholly to the labor vote and the work
of the labor leaders. Carey's vote was
the largest ever given legislative can
didate in that district.
Among the Republican and Democrat
ic leaders it is now admitted that the
Socialists have become an important fac
tor locally in political affairs.

MONMSEN on PRESENT CONDITIONS.
MUTV AL.

The great German historian, Theodore
Mommsen, does not believe much in the
great American republic. The st. Paul
Globe says:
But to Mommsen it is otherwise He is a
nan Of broad vision with an eye to the ui-
innate good, and yet he believes a great re-
public Is a great evil and constant men
ace to human liberty and the life of ma
tons. That is why he breads the possibility
of Engand's heoric endeavors to draw
America into the meSheS of an alliance.
That this great German historian is con-
sentative: that he believes the best form or
governmt MT to be that in which the masses
are subordinate to the classes-an aristo-
cracy Of blood that he deems the power to
increase the amount of money in circula-
ton to be a government function-a pre-
rogatve TO the aristocratic ruling class
of all this no will entertain q doubt.
But that antagonism to the spread Of De-
mocratic principles is the base of his opin-
ion. as recently intimated by IL contempor-
AIRY no one can believe.
A conception of his thought may be
gathered from his description of Republic
can Rome during it's last years. There with
graphic skill behelds before the readers
vision the one certain cause of decay that
was allowed to eat into the heart of Roman
national lfe-"the same that desOlated the
TIellaS of POlybius' and the Carthage Of
Hannibars time'-the perverted use of
money in public affairs.
Regarding the aN-pewerful rule of money
in Rome he says: ut ruined the middle
class, raised trade and estate-farning to
the highest prosperity, and ultimately led
to a-hypocrcally Observation-Disclosures and
