Ben Sattcrlee, n of the prosperous
farmers of Seminary township, in Fay
cite County, Illinois, arrived in VAN
dalia recently with thirteen wagon
loads Of hogs. making n procession of
no mean proportions. This was the sur
plus Of Mr.. Satterlee's hog raising. At
the scales he. found the weight to be
1850 pounds. He sold the hogs to
Fred Morrison of Ramsey Mt 5 cents
per pound. Mr.. Satterlee netted $675
from the sale. The st. Louis market
reports for the months of Nav and
including September, 1896, show the
average price of hogs in the st. Louis
market to have been $2.75 per 100
pounds. and the average market price
fox hogs in the same market on Aug.
q. 1900, was $5.47. The difference be-
tween the average price for 1896 and
the market price on Aug. "a of this
year was $2.72 per 100 pounds, which,
multiplied by the weight. gives Mr..
Satterlee $367.20 more for his hogs

A Word to Young Men.

1t Is doubtless within the momory of
hundreds Of thousands Of young men
in this country that less than ten years
ago-six or seven years ago, to be more
exact-the business world suffered n
%stagnation and disaster the like of
which had never before been seen
among us.
The panic of 90 was especially hard
upon, young men. The elderly, who
had made their successes in life fairly
secure, those whose natural caution en-
abled them to look forward to such a
terrible contamination and to prepare
for it, suffered less. The younger
men. having in some cases the enthu-
siasm of their youth, having in many
others the well-matured plans Of mid
die age before them, found that their
best-laid plans, their most loyalty SUI
perhuman efforts, We're insufficient to
stem the tide against them. Many
failed. Many who did not fail fought
on, almost losing heart, but bravely
keeping up the struggle, hardly know
Ing why. Those who failed are mostly
on their feet again. +. Those who did
not, are "doing we'll enough" again.
All-and we repeat, there are hum
dreds of thousands Of them, take it the
country over-have cause to remember
the beginning, and, let us hope, the
end, of a financial and political policy,
or lack of policy, which literally doomed
tens of thousands of them to bank
ruptcy, tens of thousands of others to
despair. and ceaseless effort to recover
themselves, and yet tens of thousands
more to beggcry-not hopeless, for that
is n word unknown to the younger
business generation.
We do not believe that there is n sim
gle self-respecting business man Of the
rising generation who is going to per-
NIT, or who is going to help to permit,
any such disaster to happen again. 1t
would mean dollars, in many cases
thousands of dollars, out of his pock-
ct. 1t would mean in many cases
that he could never recover his finan-
cial standing; for it is not always that
! a man can stand more than one of these
attacks. The younger generation, we
believe, learned it's lesson thoroughly.
1t will do better this time.

M'klNLEY AND PENSIONS.
The President Has Always Been the
Earnes Friend of Old Soldiers.


In an interview, Hon. ID. 1. Murphy,
former Commissioner of Pensions,
states that President Mckinley, on the
morning of Sept. 4, 1899, said to the
National Committee on Pensions, G. A.
r.: There is no use denying the fact,
gentlemen, that the money power Of
the country is against any further ex-
pansion of the pension roll" The I'M
designed members. only, of the Pen
sion Committee, called on the President
by appointment that morning and in
the interest of justice we desire to say
that this statement is not true. The
President did not on that occasion, nor
ut any other time, make use of any
such words, nor did lie make any such
suggestion Their or at any other time,
and We were present at all the confer
ences between the President and the
National Committee on Pensions from
July, 1899, until the passage of the bill
amending the act of June %, 1890, in
May, 1900. AT each conference he I'M
reservedly approved the amendments
proposed by the committee and unani-
mously adopted by the Philadelphia en-
campment. More than this, the Presi-
dent freely gave to the committee and
the soldiers and sailors and their de-
pendent ones whom we represented his
personal aid in securing the passage of
the bill. Having satisfied himself of
the absolute Justice of the measure, he
did not hesitate to declare in favor of
tho of tho oct of 1COO ond
the liberal administration Of all the
pension laws. The President is the
earnest and. practical friend of the sol
diers and sailors of this country. From
the very beginning of his public career
he has given expression to Il sincere re-
gard for his comrades of the war, and
on all proper occasions he has not fail
ed to declare himself earnestly in ia
vor of Il liberal administration of the
pension laws. In his official capacity
as q member of Congress and as the
chief executive of the nation, he has
evinced the utmost concern for liberal-
lied pension legislation and admins
tration. 1t is a cruel and wicked wrong
to put into the mouth of the President
the words ascribed to him in this inter-
view. He does not entertain such senti-
ments. The chief executive executes
the laws as enacted by Congress, and
no President in the history of this re-
public has performed his duty more
faithfully in this regard than our CON-
rade, William Mckinley. He was and
g in thorough accord with the senti-
msnts Of the Grand Army as expressed
ut Philadelphia and Chicago, in the adj
ministration of the pension laws, and
of this fact the National Pension Com
mittee has full knowledge.

The Army and Local Troubles.
The army has never been called upon
but twice in the history of the country
to interfere with rioting that followed
strikes. and then only after the r.
sources of'the local authorities to pre-
vent trouble had become exhausted.
Grover Cleveland, o Democrat, sent
troops to Chicago in 1894, after the,
legal authorities had shown their in.
ability to cope with rioting and John.
p. Altgeld, then Governor, had refused
to call out the State troops.

TRUTH Or ~fALsEAoop9
Records on snc Trust Question Which
Will Trouble ME-. Bryan to Explain.

W1lt 1ub MT, to Explotus
In Els letter OF: acceptance Nj. Bryan
inserts that the Republican party has
done nothing. attempted nothing, and
q be expected to do nothing to pro-
tect the people from trust monopolies.
II this Is the truth, it is an important
truth; If 1t is a lie, 1t is a reckless, afro
ciaus lie which should forever discredit
the man who uttered 1t. Let us see.
A few months ago, speaking at the Chi.
cago antitrust conference, Mr.. Bryan
said:
II believe Congress has, or should
have. the power to place restrictions
and Limitations, even to the point OF
prohibition, upon any corporation or
ganized in one State that wants to dc
business outside of the State.
l am in favor of an amendment to the
Constitution that will give to Congress
power to destroy every trust in the
country"
At the first session of the Ftfty-sixth,
Congress the Republican majority of
the House Judiciary Committee report
ed a constitutional amendment exactly
in line with Mr.. Bryan's plan Of deal
ing with trusts, as follows:
ITO lodge in Congress the power to-
define, regulate, control, prohibit or dis
solve trusts, monopolies or combina-
TONS"
On the roll call on the question of SUBJ
hitting this constitutional amendment
for ratification by the various States OF
the Union the vote was as follows:
Republicans-For, 149; against, 2.
Democrats and Populists-For, 5;
against, 100.
In the light of this record, did the
Popocrat candidate state truth or false
hood when in his letter Of acceptance
he asserted that the Republican party
has done nothing, attempted nothing,
and can be expected to do nothing to
protect the people from trust mo-
nopolies?
Olney on the Duties of Citizenship.
If one citizen may properly withhold
his vote, logically all may, and all the
wheels Of government be stopped.
To decline voting because practically
assured that others will vote is but to
give the latter an undue share of polit-
ical power and to forfeit the right to
complain Of any abuse of it.
The obligations Of citizenship are
avoided, not performed, by standing
neutral in an election.
The voting power is a trust which
calls for use and is violated by the ne
glect to use.-From His Letter of Aug.
IA.
An Advertiser reporter called at the
Office Of the Election Commissioners
yesterday to ascertain if Mr.. Olney had
himself done the duty he so eloquently
prescribed for others. This was the re-
suit:
Mr.. Olney is not yet on the voting List
Of 1900.
Mr.. Olney was not on the voting list
of 1899.
Mr.. olney was not on the voting list
Of 1898.
Mr.. Olney was not on the voting list
Of 1897.
Mr.. Olney was not on the general vot-
ing list Of 1896.
Back of this the Commissioners did
not have time to go, and research
would be accompanied by investigation
Of musty volumes in the assessors de-
partment-but there is a suspicion tdat

Some talk has been caused by the
Denver n Rio Grande railroad recently
letting a contract for $4,000 ties to be
delivered at Espanola or along the line
near that place, says the New Mexican.
A prominent railroad man who was at
Albuquerque a few weeks & stated
that he positively knew tina 1t is the
intention of the Denver & Rio Grande
company TO commence work on It's ex-
tension to Albuquerque, and from there
to White oaks. within a short time,
II was the impression that the extern
sion would be made by way OF Cerril-
los, San Pedro and TiJeras canyon but
other reports say that II Is the inten-
ton OF the company to come down by
way Of Bland. IL is also reported that
a corps of surveyors has surveyed a
route TO the Cochitl district by way OF
White Rock canyon. and has selected a
point for a railroad bridge across the
Rio Grande directly west OF Santa Fe,
Another report also has 1t that the
Denver & Rio Grande will this year
change the narrow guage from Santa
Fe to Antonito TO a standard gauge
route. and that the $4,000 ties are being
cut for that purpose. When II Is re-
membered. however. hat $4,000 ties are
not sufficient for twenty miles of rail-
road, then the letting of a contract fol
that amount does not appear Of 90
great significance. The local Denver q
Rio Grande officials know nothing oi
these rumored projects, some OF which
have been projected regularly on papel
for years.
