Bright Outlook For Democratic
Victory.

NlCIOry.
That the Democratic party has a
better chance of success in the COM
ing election that it had four years
ago is pretty generally conceded
by the thoughtful men of the coun-
try.
In the last national campaign
there was but one great issue be-
tween the old parties-the financial
problem-and upon that the Dem
ocracy staked its all-and lost.
There were many reasons account
able for the results of that election
which will not figure in the next
campaign.
Thousands of lifelong Democrats
who believed in the basic principles
of that party hesitatcd about fol-
lowing it into the free silver camp.
They did not thoroughly under
stand the complex subject any more
than majority of the editors and
platform orators who attempted to
enlighten them regarding it. As a
natural consequence some of them
voted for Palmer and Buckner,
some for Mckinley and Hobart
and some did not vote at all. This
unsettled and uncertain condition
of affairs, added to fact that the
national standard-bearer, w. j.
Bryan, was then practically new
and comparatively an unknown man
in governmental affairs, did not
inspire the legions with that faith
and fervor so essentially necessary
to success.
During the four years that have
since elaped the masses of the PEG,
pie have had ample opportunity TO
familiarize themselves with the
financial question, to study 1t in its
various phases and to hear it ex-
planned by Mr.. Bryan and other
able men who knew whereof they
spoke, and who could demonstrate
by indisputable facts the beneficial
results that would follow the adop.
ton of free silver. Aside from
this, they have had time to learn
more of Mr.. Bry IAN, to know him
as he really is, the great and bril-
liant champion of the masses, the
defender of the peoples rights and
the principles of our repubi-
can form of government, as enunci-
ated by the founders of our consti-
tuition.
The passage of the gold standard
currency bill has practically elm
mated the financial question from
politics for the next four years,
and the reaffirmation of the Chica-
go platform by the Kansas City
convention will only be acknowl-
eigment of the adherence of the
| Democratic party to its former

thisto say Of the Homestake mine:
A mine that has produced $50. 900,
OOO in gold in twenty-three years
and has s9S, 600. 900 in sight is worthy
OF consideration, even il the ore
sometimes does not assay more than
$3.50 per ton. The Homestake mine
OF this city has paid over SO, ZOO, 900
in dividends to its owners. 1t rep
resents SIG. 6.0O0,O 900 in property and
improvements, and since it was first
opened over $40, 900. 900 has been
paid for labor. The engineer esti-
mates say there is sufficient ore in
sight to keep all the mills operating
for twenty years. The present ca.
pacity of the mills is 1880 tons o
day, which means 1.022, 900 tons q
year, and 20,40O,OOO tons in twenty

ployed in every department is 1900;

CONSUMPTION OF ALMONDS.
rwenty-one Million Pounds Eaten in the United States Each Year.

There are, roughly speaking, .21, ,000,- 900 pounds of almonds consumed in the United States each year, some eaten with raisins, some used iel the manu- facture of candy, some ground for cream and fiavoring extracts, and ean an inferior quality, used for peIt0.nesy and soap. The state of Cal iforna produces about 14,000,000 pounCs of almonds in year, or two- thirds of the amount required for do- mestic consumption, and the other a1- monds are imported from European countries, from which, until a few years ago, all the almonds were sent. The figures of almond importations for the fiscal year 1898 show importations of about 7,0o0,000 pounds. Of this amount 4,500,000 came from Spain, 100000 from Italy, chiefly Sicily, and the balance from Greece and Portugal. Cocoanuts to the value of about s60o,- 900 year are imported into the UniHd States from foreign countries or from countries which were under foreign jurisdiction at the time of the fast an nual treasury report. Before the be- ginning of the Cuban war for inde- pendence the importation of cocoanuts from Cuba into the United States was to the value of about s200,000 a year. With the beginning of the war it de- clined, and under the present tariff the duty on cocoanuts further reduced the importation from Cuba, though large increase in the shipments of eocoanuts is expected this year under American jurisdiction in Cuba and Porto Rico. The competition of American with for eign cocoanuts, the latter from the West Indies and South American states, has been more active than in the case of almonds, for the reason that the chief source of supply Of American cocoanuts is Florida, which is in closer proximity to the New York market. The annual report of Florida cocoanuts amounts to about 7,000,00e pounds, of the value of about S300,000 a year, and the conditions as to al- monds and coeoanats are in this par. ticular reversed. California produces just twice as many almonds as are irns ported into the United States, whereas Florida produces just one-half as many cocoanuts as are imported.-Boston Transcript.

--S-s-rl-~s. - " FIRST POTATOES.
Tomatoes and chincon Trees Were Raise.

AomdtoeS And Gh1ncon Trees Were Raised

 Lima Cor. Chicago Record: Peru ia the birthplace of the potato, which was first used as an article Of food by the 1neas. and exported to Europe by the Spaniards when they took over quinine bark and named 1t in honor of the countess of Chincon, whose husband at that time was viceroy. The Indians had used the bark for medicinal pur- poses as long as any one could reniem. Der, but this noble lady was the first European to test it's efficacy, and it proved so excellent cure for the ma- 1aria which saturates the atmosphere of Lima that she induced the Jesuit fathers tc recommend it to the medi- cos of the old world These wise old chaps sent 1t to Spain and Italy, and It is said that one Of the first doses of quinine that was ever administered in Europe was swallowed by the pope, The unregenerate potato, which is still found in wild state among the noun tains of Peru, is delicate vine, which bears fruit about the size of plum and as yellow as an orange. Cultiva- ton has increased it's size and im- proved it's flavor. The scientists say that the tolnaton also originated in Peru. and was known among the Ineaa as a love apple, possessing peculiar qualities that influenced the affections. For centuries after it's discovery the same superstition prevailed in Europe. Peru also claims to be the mother Of cotton, but I think Egypt will dispute that fact.

FOUR MILLION FOR A YACHT.
Huge Fortunes Sunk in Building sump-
 tuous Pleasure Craft.


 The new steam yacht Victoria and Albert, which has been built for the queen al Tenby, will be on completion the handsomest and fastest yacht any British sovereign has possessed. It will rank only second to the emperor Of Russia's wonderful yacht, the Polar Star, which is said to have cost close upon G 1,000,0 GOO. Nothing more lavish ly elaborate than the fitting and deco ration of the Polar Star could easily be imagined. Money has been drilled into her frame in hundredweights. The decorations of the dining saloon, which will seat 150 guests, cost approximately S100,00O. Exquisite paintings by some of the most celebrated artists adorn the saloons and cabins and all the woodwork is elaborately carved. There Is fine library and music-room aboard and a beautiful white marble fountain, while some of the ornaments are Of the rarest The Standart, the ezar's smaller steam-yacht of 4,306 tons, is much more frequently used than the Polar Star She costs slight ly over $2,600,000. This is only about half the price of the Polar Star, but the Standart is one of the most sump- tuous yachts afloat There is accom- modation aboard for a crew of 300, twenty officers and eighty passengers. There are three magnificent suites Of apartments devoted to the use of the emperor, empress and dowager eD- press, fine library, a billiard-room and music saloon. The dining saloon Is paneled in tulipwood; the door handles, finger plates and the lamp fittings are of heavily carved solid sil- yer. There is fine marble bathroom. with heavy silver fittings, and the walls and doors of the principal cabin are elaborately inlaid with ivory and mother-of-pearl. So many improve ments and additions have been made to her appointments since she was first completed that she is now worth probably half as much again as she originally cost. The German emperors famous steam yacht, the Hohenzollern, of nearly 4,000 tons, was, considering her beauty and purpose, compara- lively inexpensive vessel, costing con- siderably less than s1,000,000. She has very beautiful interior and splen- did accommodation for crew and pas sengers alike, and is considered one ot the fastest, smoothest-go yachts Rfoat.
