The editor of the Petersburg (Ind. J
News, a rampant Republican organ,
has become weary of prosperity. He
says in his last issue: During each
month of the year we furnish our
readers with republican prosperity
supplementary more such supple
ments will be sent out with our paper.
The supplements are fraud, de-
lusion and lie. We are ashamed of
them, sick and sore of sending out
such prosperity supplements when
at the same time we are unable to
collect money to meet our bills, after
having made them"

About Lincoln County. Washington,

EDITOR PLAIN DEALER:
DEAR SIR:-As many of your neighbors in
Howard and Winneshiek counties are aware of
our having made a trip to the state of Washing
ton, they would no doubt like to know what we
think of the country after a personal, visit and
we know of no better means of letting them
know than through the prees.
We left st. Paul on January l7th and arrived
at our destination in Washington on the 10Th.
travelling over the Northern Pacific, which runs
through Dakota, Montana, idaho and Washing
ton.
The counties we passed through and
examined in Washington, Spokane, Lincoln.
Adams, and Yakima, consist of rolling prairie
land with black loan soil, the richest we have
seen anywhere. We have seen large crops of
wheat in Iowa when it was a wheat growing
country also in Minnesota and Dakota, but the
largest we ever saw there was but moderate in
comparison to the immense wheat crop we saw
in this part of Washington. There are also
raised abundant crops of barley, oats, rye, and
some flax.
The country is also specially adapted for fruit
raising and grapes, apples, cherries, prunes
peaches, nectarines, etc., grow abundantly, as
well as all kinds of vegetables. The climate is
,an excellent one. During the time we were
there, we were at no time required to wear an
overcoat during the day. There was excellent
sleghing with about six or eight inches of snow
on the ground. This sleighing, the people living
there say, sometimes last as long as three or
four weeks; and as in Iowa, a coating of snow
for three or four weeks they consider beneficial
The average temperature for the month of
January 1897, was % degrees above zero, this
year the average temperature will be somewhat
higher.
1t is, in our opinion, the best state in the
union for a poor man to go to if he wishes to
make good home for himself and be indepen-
dent.
The prices of land run from So to $40 per acre
for unimproved lands, and from S. to SIS and $2l
per acre for improved lands with buildings, out
houses, etc.
In a word. what we saw there compels us tc
admit that Mr. O'Niel, of Cresco, does not over
estimate the advantages of the state of Wash
ington, but rather underestimate them If any
/ thing.
We both intend returning to Washington
early this spring.
Yours truly
JAMES WALTON

DEMAND FOR hoRsEMEAT.

pare Food for Europe,

new Jersey Licenses Company to Pre-
pare Food for Europe.
The authorities of Kearney township,
n. j., have licensed the American Horse
meat company to carry on the business
of slaughtering horses for the foreign
market. The incorporators and stock
holders of the company have already
put up bonds guaranteeing that they
will carry on the business in manner
best calculated to please science, and
that they will not sell any of the meat
for home consumption.
On the night the license was granted
DIR. j. V. Leddy, graduate of the col
lege of veterinary surgeons and
United States meat inspector, who is to
be in charge of the company's opera
tions, explained to the city fathers that
the demand for horsemeat has grown
so rapidly in Europe that it has become
almost impossible to fill the orders. He
proposed, he said, to purchase the cheap
stock in America and after properly
treating the meat ship it to Europe. ALI
the casks and cases. he assured the al
dermen, would be plainly stamped, and
that no carcass would be allowed to re-
main untreated for more than 10 hours.
A large order was given to New
York stencil firm. These stencils will
read: 'Not to be eaten in the United
States" Round steak" "Tenderloin"
and Beef off the hoof." DR.. Leddy says
that the slaughter house already has
contracts in Belgium and Germany that
will keep it busy for two years at least.

Substitute for Money.

Just now certain class of politi-
clans and newspapers are calling
attention to the increased volume of
bank deposits as an evidence af an
abundant supply OF money. The in
ference to be drawn from these sta =
ments is that however much the Il
dustrial classes may be suffering,
some cause other than scarcity of
money must be found; SO persistently
paraded as an evidence of returning
prosperity that many people are al
most persuaded that there is nothing
wrong with our currency system
after all.
A little inquiry that any one can
make for himself will reveal the fact
that nine men out of ten think bank
deposits are money. Bank deposits
are not money to the extent of 25 per
cent, and of that small proportion
nearly the whole oi it is credit cur
rency. The cold facts as compiled
by the comptroller OF the currency
of the United States for Iowa are as
follows: Gold, Is per cent; silver,
"a per cent; currency, 17.5 per cent;
checks, 7S per cent. Surely here is
study for honest money gold stand
ard people," Is there anything
strikingly ''sound in this inverted
pyramid with it's base less than 2 per
cent. of the volume of credit? Bank
deposits to the extent of IS per cent.
are not money at all but "substitutes
for money, and so designated by the
comptroller.

PATENT QUESTION SETTLED.

Decision Affecting Sale of Articles
Purchased Under Foreign Patent.
A decision was handed down by the
United States court Of appeals which
6isposes of the question whether the
purchase of an article under foreign
patent and also patented in the United
States entitled the purchaser to sell
the article in the United States when
the purchase was made in a foreign
country. The case was that of Edward
N. Dickerson against Hugh L. Tinling,
appealed from thedecision of the United
States circuit court of Colorado, which
refused an injunction restraining Tin
ling from selling phenacetine in the
United States. The preparations was
patented in Germany and protected by
United States patent. The lower
court decision was reversed and it was
ordered to issue an injunction.
