The Band we had at Home.

Yer talk about Yer city bands,
An gilt edged orc1estrys,
An long haired men with longer Nance
Who play at swell swarees
An prodigys an fddlers,
From Heidelberg an Rome,
But tell yer they don't suit me,
Like the band We had at home
Folks say my tastes is rather queer,
My ear Amt Jest kerrect,
That I've no soul fer music,
But somehow l suspect
Them strings down thar inside er me,
That seemed tel just Civ way,
WuZ tuned up ter tue music
That the old band used ter play,
Bill W hitman WIZ our leader,
An a wayward chap wuz Bill
He never stuck ter anything
Without twas music-stlll
He warn't no common Teller,
Like yer meet ev'ry day;
For people tlocked frum miles aroun',
Ter hear Bill Whitman play.
The clarinet Nv Amos Smith,
That spoke 80 soft ter me,
Is silent now, an age an rust
Has dimmed each shinin' key;
No more III hear it calm
When Summer evenin's cum,
Fer the meetin' nights is over
Nv the band we had at home
How did it cum about, yer ask
How wuz it the band went down?
Wal, most Nv the boys enlisted,
An, marched frum the dear, old town
Ter fight fer their Country's honor.
The foes NV their native land;
All, my boy, twas rebel bullets
That broke up that old band.
Bill Whitman fell at Gettysburg,
In the thckest Nv the strife
An on Fort Fishers bastions
Amos Smith laid down his life
Jim Snyder, he Civ up a leg,
An Jason Snow a hand
An that's what stopped the playin'
Wv our old village band.
Sometime when the shadders gether,
Over the sleepy town;
An the evenin' breeze is BLOWN
An the nuts is tumblin' down:
Ez | set here in the stiffness,
Frum the hilltops far away
| seem ter ketch the music
That the Did band used ter play

THE FINANCIAL VALUE OF PROHIBITION.
The money paid for intoxicants is NO
small part of the sum total of the cost
Statistics show the amount of beer drank
in the United States for the year 1897 to be
1867 100000 gallons. At retail price of SC
cents per gallon, this would be $685., 800, 900
100000 gallons of distilled spirits at s. OO
per gallon would cost $3.50, 100000
Both these items give total of 1888 ,5OO, ).
900 spent for liquor! And these figures do
not include the losses in business, the ex-
pense of criminals and paupers, nor all the
other curses that the liquor habit brings in
its train. The money paid for intoxicants
in the United States would pay the cost of
the common schools, 1854 100000; of the
Post Office department, 800, 800, 600. and still
leave sufficient money to pay all the farm
mortgages of the United States.

1t is curious fact that while farm prod
ucts have been advancing, prices of
articles which farmers must buy have in
most cases decreased. Latestreports from
New York markets show a marked reduc-
ton in prices of cotton goods, shoes,
articles of iron and steel, coffee and many
other articles of daily consumption, while
in practically everything which the farm
er produces there has been a marked in
crease.

The free silver proposition is going to
have a hard Struggle among the farmers
this year. Reports from all parts OF the
West, where good prices and good crops
have made the farmers one of the most
prosperous elements of the community,
show that the silver proposition, which
found such support among the farmers
in 1896 is losing ground very rapidly now
that the theory that the price of farm
products is dependent upon the price Of
silver has been so thoroughly exploded.

Nj. Bryan's visit to Mexico does not
convincing the Mexicans of the value OF
their currency system. The Secretary of
the Mexican Treasury, Mr.. Linman-
tour in his recent report stated
that the chief obstacle to Mexican trade
and commerce was found in the t1uctu-
alton of silver. 1t was not so much its de-
preciated value but its constant change
in value, of which Mr.. Linmantour
complained, and this fact, of course would
apply quite as much to the United States
as to Mexico, in case of the adoption of
the system which M Bryan and his
followers demand.

Secretary Wilson, of the Department of

German Embassy will include an agricul-

culture, rather than the State Department,
and whose duty it will be to acquaint the
Secretary of Agriculture with whatever of
interest or Importance he can find relat-
ing to the agricultural trade or develop

is the outcome of Secretary Wilson S
recommendations and vigorous efforts to
have his Department represented in the
diplomatic service of each foreign coun-
try by man specially trained and able to
investigate and report in the lines requir-
ed by the Department. 1t is, upon it's

Hearst could not be ignorant Of the
conditions of his sale to the corpora
ton, nor of the time lock it had upon
his lying and blackguardism for the
space of thirty months.
At the date of this hypothecation
there was due on the contract $4,000,
and the Southern Pacific Company con-
tinued payment to the Bank until June
II, 1894. The next payment due July
IL, 1894, was defaulted by the company
on the ground that the terms thereof"
had been violated by the Examiner.
The default went into controversy be-

Hearst:

Herrin met yourself and your manager,
Mr.. Henderson, relating to the Install

Company, dated June 20, 1892. I under
stand from Mr.. Herrin that in your in
terview with him you agreed that at
the time this contract was made, pro-
viding for the payment of $50, 900 to the
Examiner, it was stated by your agents
as an inducement to the railroad for
making this contract that the Ex

Examiner had fairly treated the rail-
road company, and that If you thought
it had not done so you would not ex-
pect the company to make any further
payments on the above mentioned con-
tract. 1t was certainly part
of the contract between the Examiner
and the railroad company that the Ex-
aminer should and would accord fair
treatment to the railroad. In view Of
this contract do not assume for
moment that you would insist upon the
railroads paying the Examiner the full
sum of $50, 900 if the Examiner had not,
on its part, fully performed the stipu-
lations made on its behalf"
Why did Hearst say to Herrin that,
If he thought the Examiner had not
treated the railroad fairly he would
not expect further payment on q, con-

conditions, if there were no other and

there is a consecutive statement of the
steps in this extortion of blackmal
from it's inception, in the spring of 1892,
to Hearst's violation of his blackmail
treaty in 1894, and his admission to
Herrin that if he had not stayed bought
he would not expect the payment OF the
balance of his price. We reproduce a
copy of that secret agreement, the orig
inal is in existence and we will repro
duce a fac-simile Of it.
This blackmailing blackguard Hearst
is entitled to full and free publication
of the exact form in which he sold and
conveyed himself to the Southern Pa
cific Company and he shall have it. His
blackguard attack on Mr.. Mills Is in
tended to divert public attention from
the real issue. The public will not be
affected unfavorably toward Mr.. Mills
by that attack, for every decent man
will understand that he has not chosen

this matter. If there were no secret

advertising contract of June 90, 1892,
