in circulation or in the Treasury or
represented by silver certificates.
The coinage ratio for centuries has
been remarkably maintained and the
recent divergence has been caused by
unfriendly treatment. There has
been no difference in the relative
production of the two metals to justi-
fy a change of ratio. Their relative
value as merchandise depends upon
the law of supply and demand. their
value ms money depends upon the
edict of the sovereign power creating
it. This is illustrated in the case of
the trade dollar, The trede dollar
has seven and 1t half grains of silver
more than the daddy dollar" while
as money the latter is worth twice as
much as the first named. One is
money, the other is merchandise.
The friends of silver should be just
as persistent iu maintaining the ratio
of 16 to / as they are in demanding
| the restoration of silver to the money
volume of the couatry. The best
dollar Americans know anything
q OUT is the one coined at en- Ameri-
can mint. They should not entertain,
for a siugle moment, the proposition
to either lessen or enlarge the stan
dard dollar. Ii is the suggestion OF
an enemy. No compromise is posi-
bile without sacrifice of principle.
Sixteen to one is the watchword OF
every trustworthy friend of silver
coinage. The Chicago platform Of
1896 would be defective if this was
stricken out.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Judge a. =. Barros Star. n. CT wish
to know the cause and remedy of the
growth of crops that l grow on a certain
piece of what call highland pond or
land When first cleared the

any, but the crop of corn or cotton now is

Answer-You mcager description Of the
character of the land in question does not
enable us to determine what is the matter
with it. One word in your letter we could
not make out, and we have directed the

Moreover we get the SIS value out of a

We realize not less than $ worth OF fer

peavine hay consumed by grown animals
be carefully preserved and returned to tho
soil The value of the manure would amount
to not less than so per cent of Its fertli2jng
value before feeding It. or before cutting
it from the land.
An excellent way to realize both the food
and the manural value of a crop of cow
peas is to pasture the field, either with
cattle or horses, when in full growth, or
ready to NOW, or With hogs after the peas
are ripe; or gather the ripe peas and then
pasture. But the best way is to make hay

Phenomenal Yield Of Oats Promised
I'm the SwinOmixh.


Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer.
LA CONNER. Aug. 1.-THE vast cat
fields throughout the renowned cat pro-
ducing section OF Skagit county that sur
rounds La Conner are fast turning from
deep green 10 a golden hue. and harvest
ing will be in fun blast within the next
few days, as several of the farmers started
their binders today. There are some $1,000
acres of oats within Il radius OF six miles
OF this place. all OF which will be ready
for harvesting by the first of next week.
The grain now stands about four feet high
on an average. and the greater portion Of
IL Is as erect as an arrow and In better
shape for harvesting than for many years
past, this being due to the fact that there
have been very few showers and but little
heavy wind of late to lodge II.
The present outlook for an exceedingly
large yield is most f1attering and many
of the farmers predict an average yield Of
ninety bushels 10 the acre for the entire
district. The few extremely hot days dur
ing the latter part of July were thought
to have done considerable damage TO the
grain, which was then just in the milk,
but it is now said by the farmers to have
done little or no harm whatever.
Last years crop Is practically all dis
posed Of. and there remains but little now
in the hands OF the farmers. as several OF
the largest holdings have been disposed OF
this week. Mr.. Fred Jeune having shipped
$500 sacks yesterday. T'hreshing will not
begin until about the 18Th of this month.
therefore none Of the new grain will reach
the markets until about September l.
