FARM VALUES

Total 1896, 1874 1888 $2,7O7 057. 800
American farmers received almost
$115,000,000 more money for their
wheat this year, under republican pros
perity, than they did in 1896 under
democratic depression. This year the
people can afford to buy bread. In 1896
thousands of them were starving and
begging for bread.
The American farmers received $780,
100000 more money this year for their
corn crop than they did in 1896.
They received nearly $164, 1000 900
more money for their cotton than they
did in 1896. This year the mills were
open and there was a demand for cot
ton.
American farmers received nearly
$42,O00,000 more money for their crop
Of oats this year than they did in 1896.
They received nearly $22, 100000 more
money for their potatoes this year
than they did in 1896. People could af-
ford to buy potatoes this year, as the
mills were open and good wages were
being earned.
They received over $4,000, 900 more
money Tor their barley this year, and
barley is one of the smallest of the
staple crops.
They received almost $4,000, 900 more
money for their rye crop, which is an
other of the small staples.
American farmers have also gained
over $500, 100000 this year in the value
OF their live stock as compared with
1896, according TO the department Of
agriculture's figures. Thus we have:
Inc this year. $40, 722, 617 in 9 staple crops.
Inc this year. sol ,444, 474 In live stock
Total Inc; 81, 2i2, l67, Os1 In farmers prop
erty In 1900.
The farmers will not throw away the
substance for the shadow. They will
vote for continuance of republican
prosperity as against return of DEM
ocratic adversely. They will vote for
Mckinley and Roosevelt. They will
not vote for Bryan and Stevenson.

Other roads in the south and
southwest make a similar showing.
The southwestern roads had gross
earnings of $6,5s4,26b in August, 1895,
and the same roads showed gross
earnings of $9,s5s, 4O5. Yet the av-
erage rate of freight was less per ton
mile (the cost of carrying one ton
OF freight one mile) and passenger
rates were less. The increased bust
ness of these roads clearly demon
strates the difference between gen.
eral activity of business under the re-
publican doctrine of protection, and
democratic depression.

Dividends and Prosperity.

The Daily Stakeholder of New York
has published statement which shows
that dividends to the amount of $751;
100000 were paid by different railway
and manufacturing concerns. On Oc-
tober /, 1896, the same combines paid
$35,O00,000. The difference in the earn
ings means that more men were en-
ployed, more wages paid and that the
farmers had more supplies to furnish
to the army of wage-earners. 1t is a
case of prosperity all around.

The farmers are enjoying . remark

and trade expansion abroad, which
brings to the producing classes the
best sort of markets at home and In
lands across the sea.
Farm products in the United States
In 1900 are worth $1,212, 000, 900 more
than the same products were in 1896.
These figures are official, and are
from the United States department of
agriculture.
The increase comes in more crops
and in the aggregate value of live stock
on the farms. The gain in farm wealth
is shown in the following table:

NOT MISSED A SHOT.

A weird story is told of a
man by the name of Van Bos-
boom, who is distinguished
in the Transvaal as the best
shot in the republic. He is
now So years old and never,
it is claimed, has he missed an
object at which he fired A
few months ago he had pro-
ductive gold mine and flour
ishing family, but he lost his
mine recently, and soon after
his two sons were slain as they
were fighting against the Eng
lish. The loss ofhis mine trou-
bled him little, but when he
learned that his stalwart sons
were no more a great change
came over him. He took his
old flintlock rifle, which he
calls Lobengula, and with a
bag of golden bullets he went
to the front to fight the foes
of his country. And it is
said that during the recent
battles when the ambulances

week and for saving a wounded

Lakes, thence went into the in
terror of the States as violent
north wind. It blew all of one
day, from early in the morning
until the sun went down.
Shocks of corn went down, and
in some exposed fields they
were trundled to the nearest
fence in there path before they
came to a halt. But orchards
suffered the worst of anything.
The wind shook off the APP
pies as effectually, almost, as a
man could do it had he climb
ed the trees and made the effort.
By observation and inquiry the
condition is about like this:
Nine-tenths of the Rhode Is
land greetings were blown off,
four-fifths of the Kings, and
other kinds in various lesser de-
grees. The Baldwins seem to
have suffered least. None of
the apples blown off are saleable
to keep for winter use, as ev-.
cry one is bruised and liable to

INVENTORS FOOLED.

An interesting example of
the extent to which trustful in
ventors may be victimized by
foreign patent agencies is fur
nished by some recent proceed
ings in the English bankruptcy
Court in the case of one Percy
K. Willis. The bankrupt tes-
tilted that he was associated
with another person in carrying
on what they called the Inter
national Patentees' Agency.
He and his partner also used
the name of Donald Cameron
in carrying on the business.
The names of inventors in the
United States having been as
certained, he sent out to them
ia number of circulars contain
ing invitations to remit money
for the purpose of having pro-
visional patent rights granted
to them in England. In re-
Spouse to these invitations, he
received a large number of re-
mittances with instructions to
protect the inventionsspecitied

tances were not so used" ap-
peared that the bankrupt's firm
had absorbed in it's business
more than $4,000 received
from inventors in the United
States and not applied to the
purposes for which the money
was sent. Mr.. Willis could not
file any statment showing what
had been done with these re-
ceipts. The surprising feature
of business is the ease with
which the promoters obtained
money from their foreign Gus
toners. The bankrupt freely
admitted that in the case of
one of his corporate agencies
he appeared in the double cap
acity of Richard Rainsford, the
manager of the company, and
Percy Willis, its consulting
engineer.
