Gracefully Acknowledge Superiority OF
Our Weed.


The early buying of new leaf in Yer
non county the past few years has led to
the impression among growers aod local
dealers there that the tobacco grown in
that county is much superior to that of
other portions of the state. In a measure
this may be true, for as the writer I'M
derstsnds the situation, few valleys 10
wester-. Vernon and Crawford counties
produce probably the finest leaf growL
in the west. The area is limited, the
fields small, the soil fresh, and altogether
there is not much more than 100 acres of
that type OF tobacco. 1t invariably
brings outside prices and is considered
good purchase even at quite an az
vance over 6 figures. The prairie
lands of Yer. : county produce leaf
that ranks alongside that of other tobac-
co growing sections not much better
except when fresh land is devoted to the
crop, when the result is practically the
same in any locality. Local dealers are
generally responsible for starting the
market early in that section for they
seem to have gained the impression that
the presence of outside buy ers is an en-
croachment upon their preserve, and
frequently start buying when other deal.
ers show up in that section. The choice
valley tobacco is first sought after and
we learn tina. nearly all of this type of
the present crop has already been con-
tracted for. In brief this explains the
situation of Vernon and Crawford coun-
ties. All told, it is estimated hat from
1000 to 1900 acres of the present crop
has been bought to date, of which M Fl.
Bekkedal is credited with securing $50
acres and olIsr local dealers nearly as
much more.
There is decided luil in the buying
OF the new crop from this market and we
can learn Of but little doing in her Sec
tions. A few buyers are Gil culatir g
among the growers but no active move
ment has developed. The moist weather
of the week will permit some of the
cured portions being removed from the
sheds and more thorough examination
can be made. Old stock is moving more
fresly than heretofore and some large
transactions have just taken place, but
the particulars have not been attain
able.-Edgerton Tobacco Reporter.

MR.. LA TOILETTE ON THE STUMP.


Milwaukee Sentinel: The announce
ment that Mr.. La Follett is to be one Of
the republican campaign speakers in
this state is not good news for the dem
ocrats. They have been hoping that he
would lead detection in the republican
ranks, but they have made mistake in
their man. Mr.. La Toilette has no in
tention OF promoting democratic success.
He is an out and-out republican and
understands that the welfare of the state
and nation is safest in republican hands,
The reforms that he advocates have never
heretofore been the aims of the demo-
cratic party nor is it likely that their
newly acquired enthusiasm for Mr.. La
Follette's ideas is sincere. It is play
for votes and it is evident that it has
failed, for Mr.. La Follotte is likely to
disabuse the democrats when hs goes on
the stamp. And why should he not?
The republican state platform is practi-
cally his platform. The party is pledged
to enact legislation that will satisfy the
demands of Mr.. La Toilette and his fol-
lowers. And reform within the party
is precisely what he must favor az a
republican and it is quite evident that
he does. Whatever his feelings may be
toward any of the candidates on the
state ticket, he is not likely to withhold
his support from the ticket. 1t is to be
expected that the democrats will find
fault with his appearance as a republic
can campaign speaker, but they will
hardly get much comfort out of the
situation. The plain fact is that Mr..
La Toilette takes the stump against the
democrats and that he would not take
this action if he were seeking to inhu-
encs any republicans to help elect DEM
ocratic candidates.

something About silver IN Mexico.

Minister Clayton sends from Mexico
to tho State Department tho estimates
of tie Mexican Secretary of the
Treasury, jose Ives Limantour, for
the fiscal year 1898 90. The Secretary,
Minister Clayton writes. statcs that
tho principal factors restricting foreign
trade, and consequently tho receipts
from import duties, are tho fall and
fluctuation in tho price of silver and
failure Of crops. Tra,le could be
adapted to permanent high ratio of
exchange, but the constant fluctuations
in the price of silver arc more injurioua
than any actual depreciation. Without
attempting TO predict the future course
of the silver Earket, Mr.. Limantour
presents reasons for believing that it
will be more stable in the futu.e than
during the past year.
Gold and silver mining, Mr.. Liman
tour says, Inns lately passed through a
crisis; Notwithstanding which, the
quantity of metals produced was greater
than in previous years. 1t seems, he
says, that the fall in silver has not
prevented the increased production nf
this motal in Mexico, whilo, in other
countries, mines are close down. But
Mr.. Limuntour looks upon this as a
mere coincidence, and explains this in
crease in the wider knowledge of
Mexico's mineral resources that has
come to tho world, tho new and
cheaper mems of communication, the
improved methuda of working ores and
tho working OF less valuable ores; and
it is stated that the extraction of silver
can still be carried on at a profit,
should the price become still lower.
The production of gold has also in.
creased; therefore, the mining tax is
estimated to produce, in the fiscal year
1898 30, $780, 900 (3290. 00Ol and tho I.
per cent stamp Tux on gold ami silver.
81, 0S0, 600 ts95d, 500, a slight increase
over thu recsipts from the Same aUuruet
for the past fiscal year.
From this il woulh appear that while
silver mining IA an industry may pay
in Mexico, silver standard of cur.
renCy is not good for the country.

] beg to acknowledge receipt of your

Mr.. Pages frank expressions are
most commendable. lie admits that
his business is one that is supposetl
to DO peculiarly protected by the pres
emit tariff" snd yet he acknowledges
the impurities of tho tariff beneficiary
system, and tins dabauehory thut ever
follows in its train.
No doubt there are many others Cd
gagged in the protected" liues of busi
ness who privately hold yiows similar
to those of Mr.. Page, hut are not homes,
enough to make them public.
