Editor Representative: MY attention
has just been called to a statement in
Harper's Weekly for September 2.
1899, which statement is not true in tho
general sense in which it is made.
The article is. entitled Bryan and
Other Issues" The writer says: ''The
farmers are now. complaining of small
crops and low prices They have never
had so prosperous time as that which
has followed the opening of the year
1897. Mortgages have been paid off and
homesteads are free from debt
Now I have no knowledge of the facts
IN the case, but it seems rather profit
able business which can clear the mort
cages off and free the farmer from debt
in two years. Such a release from
bankruptcy would be even more won
derful than the release accorded to Nc
Kinley. However, if it is true that the
farmer is no longer in debt by reason OF
two years labor, it is a greater achieve
ment than the victory at Manila.
Harper's Weekly also seems to think
similar prosperity has spread over the
land. 1t certainly is not true of this
city, Notwithstanding the claims of the
press.
This city has very great variety of

to spasmotic depression and it would
seem that the wave of prosperity must
