The Advocate Ratified.

Not being able to meet the facts and
arguments we presented against the
Advocates position, its editor seems
to be willing to reply in gush, senti-
ment and ridicue. Bro. Allen is
good writer of that style that needs no
facts to sustain it, but builds OH imagi
nation. Such writing may satisfy him,
but it will not meet the just eXpecta-
ton of his readers.
We challenged the Advocate on this
which it said in a recent issue: every
thing the farmer sells continues to
grow lower in price and everything he
buys goes up IN value. The single gold
standard isn't proving blessing to
our toiling agricultunsts" Instead of
meeting this issue squareiy it eyaded
and failed to correctly quote the item
last week. We conclusively showed
two weeks ago the falsity of it's posi-
ton. We showed that the prices of
grain, stock and all farm produce is
much higher than two years ago, that
money is more plenty, that farms are
higher, that interest is lower, and that
what the farmer has to buy is no
higher unless a very few articles. But
the average is no higher. The Advo.
cate failed to controvert a single one
of these points, but said we had better
consult the merchants of Audubon
so we would know as TO the prices of
the necessities Of life. This we had
done before we challenged the Advo.
Gates position, so we knew just what
we were talking about.
Every farmer or business man or
intelligent citizen knows that prices
are better now Oh what we sell than
they were two years ago. They are
OH hogs, cattle, horses, sheep AMI all
stock. They are OH almost all grain.
Two years ago the Advocate was quot
ing oats ut ten cents and saying the
gold standard kept it down, and that
as long as the gold standard was kept
WOulu BCU "olOS. ANo" ~ 10
worth seventeen cents. Intelligent
people know that what we have to buy
averages no higher.
1t looks like the editor of the Advo-
cate is clinging to his free silver theory
in spite of the facts that have demon
strated it to be a heresy. He remem-
bers his predictions of two years ago
and he now disregards existing facts
known to the public and goes on the
idea that his and Bryan's free silver
theories are working as they said they
would, and that we are really doing as
they said we would do-go to destruc-
ton very fast if we kept the gold
standard. Indeed it looks like Bro.
Allen is as blind to facts as to reason.

J. A Lyons -ears-of-corn il
lustration is coming back TO plague
him now, a few years ago when he was
candidate for office in the republican
party and was stumping this part OF
the state, as a climax TO his eloquent
argument he carried with him and in
PRODUCED in each speech, two ears of
corn, one noble big ear and the other
runty little nubbin. He SAID the big
ear represented the republican party
and the nubOjn the democratic party.
This convincing(?) argument rather
CALLED some democrats then, those who
would not be convinced with such con-
elusive argument and apt illustrations
The feature became rather noted i'm the
campaign then. w. w. Hull of Guth-
RE county has letter in the Guthrian
saying at Lyons request he furnished
from his farm the two ears of corn
which became so famous. Now the
question is whether Lyons has preser-
we'd those two ears and will just change
them letting the good one represent the
democratic party and the nubbin the
the republican party, changing them in
accordance with his flop, or whether he
will apply to some democratic constit-
uent for new pair. Concerning this
the NOnpariel is naughty enough to re-
mark he will likely exhibit in this cam
paigh two long ears, and that they will
not be ears of corn, either.

Now comes the Sac County Demo.
crat, free silver democrat, and con-
tends that the present low rate of
interest is a positive sign of hard times
1t says, "there will be no revival of
business SO long as interest rates rule
low" Brother Ward writes like a hui
morist. Low interest and hard times
walk hand in hand" he says. This
looks like he was pleading the cause of
the capitalist who has money to loan.
IT we had free silver coinage we would
have abundantly more money and we
had supposed this would make interest
rates even lower. OF course we may
be mistaken. 1t may be that an in
creased supply would not lower the
price, but we have always understood
that as an established principle. If in
terest rates were high our free silver
friends would howl, and with some rea-
son. Now they are low they will howl,
we think without reason, but partly
from habit.

Building in Audubon County.

We recently heard one of the leading
carpenters and contractors say that
there was more carpenter work, the
constructing of new buildings and che
rebuilding and repairing of old ones,
now going OH in Audubon county than
ever before at any one time. There is
not a neighborhood in the county but
has had a visitation of the building
mania. This is one of the most posi-
tive signs that prosperity has
returned that can be given.
People do not pull down
their houses and barns and build bet
ter in years of hard times. They wait
till crops and prices are good and when
prosperity smiles on them before they
make their expenditure for these i'm
provements or incur obligations for
them, because the average people are
cautious and calculating and good OBJ
servers. They cali very easily distin-
guish between year of Mckinley pros
perity and one threatened with Bryan
calamity. The people are not fools,
neithe: in business matters nor OH vot-
ing on themselves hard times, not
very often.

It's kind of swearing that many peo-

for a license. When provided with that he
forms his caravan-every load in it COSTS
him further tax. For the navigation Of

a day without renewing its fuel. There Is

to take it. however, has to be paid for Not
being able always to land directly from the
steamer he needs a rowing boat, and IS
taxed for that as well. Ashore again, ne
finds himself wanting a house. He must
build, but he has to lease his plot from the
state, and pay according to measurement.
For building, timber is required. He has
to Guilt himself but is taxed all the same

skilled workmen in the place, he has taken
few up with him from the coast. For
leave TO make use OF them in state terri

on them also. In respect to the finished
house, tax is levied proportonate to the

junct TO a tropical house Is a detached
kitchen. That carries another tax The
settler must pay again on a hut for his
domestic servants. Being of a humane dis
position, the settler considers his laborers
and makes another shelter-a low roof on
hare poles-for them and the crews of
passing steamers who always sleep ashore
This is caring for the states own people,
