OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Mckinley rosperity-twenty- five, to forty per
cent. advance in farm products. This from the
American Agriculturist don't know who ed
its the Agriculturist, but will bet money that
he is a politician of the Hanna brand. The
Agriculturist is frequently quoted That is
one of the earmarks. Another brand is the
one that would have uninformed people believe
that farmers were becoming multi milionaires.
I am glad to admit that prices of farm products,
barring the cereals are much better than form
ery, but challenge any one to prove there is
any one thing produced upon our farms that
YIELDS to farmers cent above reasonable profit.
Wheat is below COST Half the haxseed was
marketed below cost. Hogs are about good,
safe investment. The tendency is to lose the
gain IN cattle. Ten years of present prices for
cotton and sheep will possibly even up losses of
the past. The fact that some things have ad-
vanced does not prove that farmers are any
where near out of the woods.
The situation is that farmers have advanced
from half-ration to something near a whole
one but the advance is all lost in the increased
cost of implements and such other things as
farmers buy. AS whole, lie is sugar-coat-
ed with little truth. This lie will not deceive
intelligent farmers. II. is not written for intel
ligent farmers. 1t is for the ignorent, and peo-
pie engaged in other occupations. Out on the
farms, it is easy to shell off the sugar coat.
There are still too many blue overalls whose
tail-end is mended with grandad's Continental
overcoat.
If farmers were so supremely prosperous, farm
and pasture lands would be going off like hot
cakes. More mortgages would be cancelled. The
tenants would become home-owners, buying
from their gains. Facts refute bare assertions.
The bitter and black, in gut-twistng quantities,
is under the shell of the white and the sweet.
Just what the Agricuturist and other so-called
farmers papers get for pedding Hanna-McKin-
lev pills is not known to the writer, but it is
fair to assume that tie laborer is not without
his reward.

INGALLS, THEN AND NOW.
Some Interesting Reading.

just now. He stands by everything the Nc
Kiney administration says and does. ingalls,
is certainly a chameleon in human form. To
prove this assertion, publish letter he
wrote TO the New York Journal, from ST. Louis,
in 1896:
ST LOUIS, Mo-, June I5.-Politcal issues,
like poets, are horn, and moi made. They
grow, and cannot be manufactured to order. The
great political leader is not the paltry and sordid
boss who packs primaries end controls delegates
aud threatens to bolt conventions unless he can
have his selfish way, but the man who discerns
the wishes and purposes of the people, and CO.
operates with them.
This was the secret OF Lincoln's consuinmate
power. He discovered the thought of the peo-
pie, and gave it expression. He found out
what the people wanted done, and did it. He
sometimes seemed dilatory but it was because
he waited to ascertain the conviction of the peo-
ple. He listened took counsel and received
suggestions, and then acted. He was leader
because he followed public opinion.

Gen. Harrison and the Beers.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, March 29.-A well-au
thenticaed story is current here in regard to the
attirude of Gen. Benjamin Harrison toward the
Boer war. 1t is said OH good authority that the
General has written letter to Secretary Hay on
the subject, in which lie says he hopes the Beers
will find some place on the green earth where
they will have right to live unmolested by the
British. They have more than once sacrificed
their land aud their homes and have moved on
to avoid British ggression.-Chicago Record.

The Golden BenevOlence.

The benevolent assimilators in congress have
changed another contract. This time the amonut
involved is over 81 900, 900 900, and, as usual
in such cases, in favor of the creditor. As the
readers of the AGIrAToR know, Uncle Sam
agreed to pay her bonded debt in ''coin." The
late financial law makes the debt payable in
gold coin. "You can't legislate people rich, "
but if this late measure is not in that direction,
then will take down my shinge Of plowman
and hoist an empty gourd. Now, don't know
how many dollars richer the bond-holders are
for that little legislation but am SAT. in guess
ing that it will run up into the millions.
This is the second time Republicans voted
wealth into the pockets of the bond-holders.
Our first bonded debt was payable in "lawful
money!" and was changed to 'coin.'' Now,
it is from coin to gold If the late measure
was not benefit, financially, to the bond-hold
er, why did the bond holder work so hard to Sc
cure its passage?
The men who wanted the measure are not
the men who will pay the added tax The ad-
ditional tax will fall on Tom, Dick and Harry,
but Ton, Dick and Harry will never own
bond, and never receive cents worth of bene-
6ts F,ou; this standpoint, l am forced to con-
clude that congress cannot only "legislate
man rich," but can also legislate men into pow
erty. And, further if my head is not as empty
as gourd, shall also conclude that the men
who voted for that measure are either ignorant
OF the effect, or they are ten times more dishon-
est than the men who demanded the measure.
Every interest has lobby in Washington,
and no lobby is so powerful as the gold lobby.
Verify, the gold lobby has its reward; but what
of the millions of people who had no lobby? and
what of the men who were sent 10 Washington
to protect, and who, instead, became despoilers?
1t will be recalled that, during the last presi-
dental campaign, the Republican orators set up
great roar over "dishonest fifty-cent dollars.'
The same roarers cried long and loud in favor
of "honest money" and "parity." would
have bet money, at the time, that tine roar was
to cover some dishonest scheme of the benevo-
l. mt assmulators. Now that the taxpayer is
saddled with large amount of debt he never
contracted, what becomes of the cry of dishon-
esty, and how big the hole in which internation-
al blmetalsm was forever buried? Also, since
bonds were selling at premium, "coin" must
have been held to imply good and honest dollars,
by even bond holders. Otherwise, bonds would
have been below par. We had honest money
before the act; now we have dishonest money,
because, through legislation, we have enhanced
the purchasing power of the dollar. We have
repudiated an honest contract, and substituted
therefor a contract that is dishonest

1t Takes Lots OF Material to SuDply
the Samplers Demands.
Coming suddenly upon salesman in
a retail store who had a number of
yard long lengths Of new piques liber-
ally sprinkled with those little price
tags (the pins all stuck through the
several thicknesses and bent DOWN,
one understood all at once the full i'm
port Of the demands Of the sample
dend. Marked off evenly like check
erboard, with II price tags lengthwise
and seven to the width, which made
119 to the yard, the salesman was 60
ing over the lot with a pencil, setting
down the width and price on each.
At one store the one who is at the
head of each stock attends to the pre-
pairing Of the samples of his particular
stock. Thus the pique samples would
be cut by one, samples Of swiss by an
other, Of organdie by another, and so
on. In the silk department one, man,
who is kept for the purpose, does it all.
And it takes all his time.
For people from a distance who do
their buying by mail this is of course a
very good method. But the part to
which all sane people take exception
is the senseless sampling OF those who
wander aimlessly about, evidently
gathering samples as thoughtless
child sometimes pulls twigs in passing
bushes. The worst of it is we have to
pay for this senseless woman's foolish
ness, it being often observable that the
biggest samplers are the smallest buy
ers. One clerk says that he has actual
ly seen thrown upon the sidewalk the
samples given to a woman after show
ing her his whole stock, her purchase
being ostensibly postponed because of
her fear that the goods will not match
something or other. NJ
