IMPORTANT FACT.

From the official report made
public Aug. 30, 1894, it appears
that there are 4,767,179 families
who live on farms and 1892 973
who do not.
In 1880 three-fourths of the fam
lilies who live on farms owned their
homes: in 1890 two thirds.
Thus it will be seen that accord
ing to government figures, over
400 900 families, living in the
country had lost their homes with.
in ten years.
Out of every loo farm families
only AZ own their homes free of
incumberance.
The larger the cities are, the
greater the disparity between pow
erty and wealth.
In cities of 100000 inhabitants,
(and upwards only Is out of every
loo families own their homes free
of incumberance.
In New York SO families out of
every loo hire their homes.
Only 7 families out of the loo
own their homes, and mortgages
rest upon 81 per cent of the seven
homes.
In Boston 81 families out of loo
hire their homes; in Brooklyn the
same; in Cicinnati so; in Chicago
II; in San Francisco IS; in Wash
ington d. c., IA.
In 1880, % per cent OF the farms
were hired: the others were worked
by their owners. In 1890, Sc per
cent of the farms were hired.
Thus the owners are swiftly be-
coming tenants
The average value of each in.
numbered farm in the United
States is $3,444. The average in
cumberance 81, 224 and theannua
interest 1887.
The average value of each in
cumbered home (Other than farm)
is 70, 25o: the circumference 81 1893
and the same interest $50.
The total interest charged for one
year upon these incumbered homes
and farms is Sal ,91o, 1o6.
The net value of each bale of
cotton this year is about $40, and
the size of the crop is about eight
million bales.

Proved a curse which now must
cease.
Ancient ideas are uniting
For the age of light and steam,
Telegraphs the world are knitting
None but drones can idly dream.
Awake thou sleeper into action;
Liberty has come to birth,
Break the chains of party faction;
Equal rights shall rule the earth.
Musty creeds and laws dogma'ic
Shall not rule the world to-day,
Gold no more be autocratic,
Silver folly flee away.
Demonetize both gold and silver,
Tickle relics of the past;
Onward be our progress ever,
Coin such money as shall last.
Coin the paper into money,
With the governmental stamp;
Some may think it strangeor funny
That it cures the wandering tramp
Setting rusty wheels in motion,
Calling workmen everywhere,
Asking help across the ocean,
Work for all and more to spare.
Clothes and food and homes inviting
Every wanderer in the world,
Work and wages all melting
Freedoms banner to unfurl.
Desert lands will bloom with clover
Business dancing will arise,
Bankruptcies will cease all over,
Tramps become the farmers prize.
This is truth, it is no fiction
Paper money stays at home,
Gold and silver by the diction
OF it's master loves to roam.
Fix the sum for this great nation,
For all bonds the full amou mt;
This is right, tbs not imitation,
Pay in full our last account.
Keep this money hoatingever,
Add to it as we increase;
No contraction, never, never,
Blot the world till time shall cease.

A special meeting of City Council
was held Monday evening for the
purpose of considering the recon
sideration Of the action taken at a
previous meeting in regard to the
opening of End st. across the Mil
waukee tracks. The meeting was
called in response to a literally sign
ed petition requesting that such
action be taken. A number of citi.
Gems was present on the invitation of
the Mayor and Council who desired
to obtain from the taxpayers a direct
expression as to what should be
done. 1t appears the railroad com
pany is willing to open one street
and as the residents of 1st st. and
End st. south of the track, each de-
sire their street opened it arrays
them in opposition. Frank Sears
appeared as attorney for the End St.
residents and made an argument
against reconsideration and attacked
the petition as a minority document.
He was contradicted in several of
his statements by John III. Lund.
o. A. Chilson stated that he and his
partner Mr.. Haugen had been in
duced to sign the petition by misrep-
re~sentation. The word abandon"
entered largely into the argument.
1t appears in one of the letters to
M yor Small from the company it
declares its willingness to make GER
tain improvements if the city will
abandon End st. Mr. Sears and

for the city to virtually abandon the

most liberal proposition ever made

subscriptions.

An Interesting Reminiscsts0e.

An Interesting ReminisesfsSe.
During the recent campaign a
Kansas paper dug up the old Pop,
ulistic banner that had been carried
in the parades of 1896. the iuser'P-
ton thereon reading as follows,
A vote for Mckinley means more
tramps,
Mckinley's election means
Ten-cent corn.
Twenty-Five cent wheat.
Eight-cent oats.
One dollar per ton for hay.
Five cents per pound for butter.
Three cents a dozen for eggs.
Two-cent hogs.
One and one-half cent for fat cattle
Nc money to carry on business.
Nothing could o forcibly and
graphically illustrate how dead
wrong our poPulistic and free silver
friends were in 1896 than the above
inscriptions. The result of the Re-
publican triumph was exactly the
opposite of the predicted result. In
stead of being more tramps, there
are fewer. Instead of l0-cent corn,
the farmers of Kansas and Nebraska
are now getting 20 cents a bushel
for their corn on their farms, in the
face of one of the biggest crops Of
that cereal ever raised. Wheat Is
about the only staple that has not
advanced much Of late. nevertheless
the farmers are getting more than
twice 25 cents a bushel forit. "One
dollar a ton for hay looks ridiculous
in the light of the market quotations
about so per ton, wholesale, for
choice timothy, in Minneapolis, and
in many sections Of the country reia-
lively a good deal higher. Then
compare five cents for butter with
25 cents-wholesale-for choice
creamery; Three cents for eggs"
with II cents wholesale for strictly
fresh; two cents for hogs" with 81
4. 80 in the Chicago market, and
zone and one half cents for fat cattle
with from 1913 and 6.15 in the
same market.
Instead Of there being "no money
to carry on business" interest rates
N money for Legitimate business
purposes were never so low, and the
banks of the Western states were
never so plethoric with available
funds.
1t is well to look back occasionally
and pass in review the antics of our
opposition friends. They will no
doubt be raising the same calamity
howl next year and making similar
dismal predictions of the results OF
Republican triumph; but the people
OF the country having tasted the
actual results and found them so en-.
tirely different from the prophes y,
they will be apt to want to sample
Republican victory again,-Minne,
apolis Tribune.
