published by Theodore Roosevelt in 1888:
"When drunk on the villainous whiskey
of the frontier towns, the cowboys are
much better fellows and pleasanter com
panions than the small farmers or agri-
cultural laborers; nor are the mechanics
of great city to be mentioned in the
same breath" How do the farmers and

Not Quite True.

In its issue for September 13, the
Courier contained the following;
"As evidence of the financial injury
they have done TO farmers, the Washing
ton correspondent of the Baltimore Sun,
a Mckinley paper in 1890, presents the
following:
ut requires 30 per cent more wheat to
buy a stove than it did in 1886
at requires 20 bushels more corn to
buy a wagon than in 1896.
"It requires 100 per cent more corn or
wheat to buy copper kettle than In
1896.
at requires twice as much corn to buy
q coil of rope as in 1896.
ut requires 40 per cent more grain to
buy pillow than in 1896.
at requires 20 per cent more grain to
buy hoe, rake or shovel than in 1896.
"a set of common wheels that cost 81
in 1896 now cost Sl2.
"The price of cultivators and other
farm implements has gone up proper
tionately.
"Galvanized barbed wire costs from "a
to $3.50 per hundred more than in 1896.
"lt requires 40 per cent more corn or
cotton TO buy pound of sugar than in
1896.
"You have to pay 40 per cent more for
glass than i'm 1896.
"Freight rates have climbed back to
the exorbitant figures of "a few years
ago.
"The price of oil, coal, lumber. tools
and hardware have gone up from 40 to
100 per cent.
"And all these things have been done
by trusts.
"a trust robs you walking or sleeping,
eating or drinking, working or resting,
living or dying, and the coffin trust gets
you in the end"
These statements are interesting if true,
but they certainly are not true SO far as
this part of the country is concerned. A
comparison of Chicago prices for agricul-
tural products September l, 1896, with
those of 1900, shows wheat at the latter
date to be % per cent higher, corn 100 per
cent higher, oats 80 per cent higher and
hay 81 per cent higher On the other
hand, as shown by the price lists OBJ
tanned in one of our local hardware
stores, stoves at wholesale are 20 per
cent higher, wagons 10 per cent higher
copper kettles 10 per cent higher, rope
eight per cent higher plows five per cent
higher, barbed wire one cent per pound
higher, and glass is no higher.
As matter of fact it takes less wheat
to buy pillow than it did four years ago.
and only little more than half as much
corn to buy wagon, copper kettle, coil
of rope or plow as then. Lumber, tools
and hardware have gone up in price, but
not from 40 to 100 per cent; in fact, the
average per cent of risein price of these
articles is not nearly as great as that of
hogs, cattle, sheep and wool.
But what is the matter with the Cour-
ier any way? In 1896 it was advocating
the free coinage of silver at 16 to l be-
cause prices were too low, and free
silver would give them boost. Now it
complains of high prices and is cham
pioning the same measure again this
year.
As far as the oil and coal trusts are
concerned, it must not be forgotten that
they were doing business when Mr..
Bryan was in congress, and we do not
recall any bill that peerless leader" in
troduced for the purpose Of restraining
them.
Neither must it be forgotten that in

But they say we are drifting in

hand of the soldier is upon the
shoulder of the free man, and that
we are liable to be dominated by
military force. Is this true? In
France there are II soldiers TO
every 1000 of population; in Great
Britain there are 6 40 soldiers to
every 1000. The other principal
governments range between those
two figures. In the United States
there is S6-100 part of an American

chcan Exthcticism.

There is something rather significant in
the fact that Bartholdi's Goddess Of Lib
erty is considerably in need Of repair. 1t
is said that the staircase which leads up
into the interior of the statue is rickety,
that the island on which 1t stands is dis
figured by unsightly little sheds and
booths, and that the arm Of the statue
itself is about twenty degrees out OF
plumb. 1t is rightly urged that money be
appropriated with which TO make this mag
niticent monument the thing of beauty un-
alloyed which II ought to be.
Congress has been asked many times in
recent years TO appropriate money for this
purpose. but the bills were always de-
feated II this great country cannot afford
TO pay the comparatively small sum needed
to keep its own monuments in order 1t had
better give up having monuments at all.
One can respect people so purely utili-
tartan in their ideas that they refuse to
spend money on anything which is not
useful but II they ape the older nations
in erecting statues and other monuments.

From that year until the election OF Mr.
| important.
In 1896, as in the event of Mr.. McKin-
ley's election, Marcus A Hanna deter
mined that he would not go into his candi-
dates Cabinet. but was DESTROYS of Sc
curing a seat in the Senate from Ohio. 1t
was arranged TO sacrifice John Sherman
| by giving the latter a Cabinet portfolio and
| thus leaving a vacancy for Hanna to fill
I by appointment. The aged Nestor OF
the Ohio Regency. that for third of
century had dominated the party
councils. bitterly opposed this design.
which he clearly recognized as enc 10 70
liticaliy STAY and bury him; but he was
forced to yield in the end and make way
for successor who in every aspect was
| vastly his inferior in intellect. ability,
experience, and integrity. John Sher-
mans short and pitift.' perfunctory ser
| vice as Secretary OF State is well rene n
bered. After some months Of &C ntemp.u-
Gus federation. during which the actual
power Of the office was welded by an as
| sistant in the person of a country lawyer
| from his own State-a man painfully ig-
norant of the dignity or duties Of the po-
! sition, the old statesman was forced to
resign, and thus passed into the hades of
betrayed and deserted politicians. Re-
membering now faithfully Mr.. Mckinley
had stood by him in 1855, in the face of
strong, and. to most men, irresistible
temptation, we must believe that he
could not have been, as he was, party
to the undoing of his old friend and chief
without at least some Qualms of con-
science. His excuse, if he have any, must
be that he was SO completely mortgaged
to the man who procured for him the
Presidency with all its marvellous opco--
tunities, that he could not help hims Elf.
Perhaps it may be a consolation to him
and to others who took part in the ar
rangement by which Mr.. Sherman was re-
tired from public life, to know that they
did no more to him than in the days Of
his power he would have been quite capa-
bic of doing to them if the case had tssn
reversed.
In conclusion, it may be safely asserted
that, despite the shortcomings and deplor-
able errors of his career, the memory Of
John Sherman will be preserved by the
present and succeeding generations as that
of one of the foremost leaders of his party.
and one of the most influential American
men of his day. 1t is but justice to say
that, while his early struggle against
poverty and the success that attended 1t.
his tireless industry and self-command.
are worthy of emulation. the indifference
he sometimes displayed to right princi-
pies of conduct in legislative and poll
teal matters on the whole deprive US OF
the privilege of saying that his life pre-
seuts an example worthy to be followed
by the youth of America, existent or
hereafter to come.

The Anrlo-German Alliance.

Aside from natural feeling Of mortifi-
cation, incident to the Indifferent manner
in which the Administration has been
treated by England and Germany in the
matter of their Chinese alliance, there is
nothing apparently in the way of accept
ing its terms as the basis OF our policy in
China Mr.. Mckinley might have expect
ed that his precipitate cut and scuttle al
lance with Russia without notice to the
other powers, which first broke the con-
cord at Pekin, would bring Roland FOR
his undiplomatic Oliver before long, and it
has come.
We are told that he will reserve his re-
marks upon the Anglo-German agreement
until he ascertains what the third clause
means As the same evidently refers to a
private understanding between the two
high contracting parties. We do not sup
pose that they will take him into their
confidence on the subject. nor do We think
he has any idea that they will. What
probably is meant is. that shy attitude
toward the Salisbury Government from now
until after the Presidential election will
be the part Of political prudence. That
interesting domestic event is so closely at
hand that action regarding the new Far
Eastern development may be postponed
without much inconvenience, as both the
British Premier and Count Won Buelow
will thoroughly understand the motive.
But Immediately afterward We may
count upon the public temperance Of the
complete impeachment which secretly
subsists today between the Hanna Nc
Kinley Administration and Her Majesty
ministry. Then the mask will be no
longer necessary, and it will be made
clear that Lord Salisbury has an alliance
with US, stronger than that with the Kali
ser, although based on what the trusts
call "gentlemen's agreement" quite I'M
official in its character.
Whether the election shall result ia
yorably to Mr.. Bryan or to Mr.. Mckinley.
the latter will have four months be-
fore the end of the present Congress in
which to renew efforts to secure ratifi-
cation of the y-Pauncefote Treaty, to
wipe out the Monroe Doctrine. and to
complete the contemplate surrender of
Pyramid Harbor and its hinterland to
Great Britain, in addition to the Porcu
pine district alreaded handed over to that
power. All the visible objects of the
Mckinley Salisbury alliance are still adj
hered to loyalty by the Administration.
and there is not an excuse for doubt that
they will be pursued with fixity of pur-
pose and vigor by the President and his
control, as soon as the election is out Of
the way BY the seventh of November,
Mr.. Mckinley will discover that his
plain duty is to range himself with the
British Lion under the shade OF the grid
iron flag, without asking solitary i'm
pertinent question concerning the third
or any other article of the Anglo German
agreement.
