Missouri has gained SIPS. 900, goo in

Using More Cotton,

In 1894. during democratic admins
tration, the cotton mills of the United
States consumed only l6 per cent. Of
the entire average cotton crop. Last
year they used over 27 per cent. and
this year they will use about one-third
OF the whole crop: more than twice as
much as in 1894. Workers in the cotton
mills should not forget that republic
an administration means double the
quantity of work and higher wages be-
sides.

PRICES OF FARM PRODUCTS.
Great Increase in Values Thi. Near
Over Democratic
Times.

Never in American history was the
situation of the American farmer as
distressing as when the republican
party met in convention in June,
1896. Business confidence was gone,
labor was idle. capital retired. farm
values shrunken, and the sheriff with
his foreclosed mortgage sales the only
active man in rural communities.
That convention, planting itself
squarely upon the side of national
honor and business integrity. nomi-
mated Il man whose whole life work
was summed up in his trenchant dec
laration: Open American mills to
American workmen." With Mr.. Bry-
ans nomination the issue was square,
ly Joined and presented to the Amer
lean farmer for settlement. one cam
cheap dollar; the other standing
for sound money, protection to Amer
lean industries. and full employment
for labor at American wages.
The vote of the great farming states
of the west elected Mckinley. and the
statistics already presented prove that
rural prosperity followed. The best
showing of the change in the condi-
ton of the American farmer. between
the first nomination of Mr. Mckinley
and his denomination, is simple
statement of the prices ruling for
farm staples at each date. 1t is an
argument against the abandonment
of republican policies which cannot
be met. The following table shows
the current market prices of differ
ent staple crops on June /, 1896. and

Contact with Sick Pets.

The danger of contact with sick
pets is pointed out by the Ladies
Home Journal. Dogs and monkeys
are subject to tuberculosis and are
said to be capable Of communicating
the infection to human beings. A
large number Of canares that die in
captivity fall victims to the same dis.
ease. Parrots suffer from a malady
peculiar to themselves. The bacillus
that causes it is thought to originate
pneumonia in man. Cats have been
known to be carriers Of diphtheria,
and possibly of scarlet fever and other
Infectious diseases. Great care should
re taken during an epidemic to keep
ut animals out of the reach of infec-
tim or else away from the children,

In Kansas the largest gains to farm
ers have been in their cattle and hogs
This they we'll know. because their re-
turns when selling their live stock
have been so much larger this year
than they were under Il democratic ad-
miniStra ion.

Corn. oats. hay and potatoes show
the lar@cs; gains in both states. While
wool is rot so much grown here as in
he farweStern states. still the increase
under protection in the value of the
clip has been satisfactory to those
farmers who raise sheep.
In Missouri this wears cotton crop
was worth almost twice as much as it
was in 1896 under the democratic ad-
ministration.
Lastly. an explanation of the num-
Der of bank depositors in Kansas and
Missouri is full of facts upon which our
citizens can congratulate themselves.
The figures are taken from the last
annual report of the comptroller of
the currency:
In the state Of Kansas there We're
53.15l people who had bank accounts
in 1894: last year there were 1OO,S4O
bank accounts in that state.
In 1894 he total deposits in Kansas
amounted to $17.141..60: last year the
total amount of the deposits was $685.
505lG1.
There has been an icrease of prac-
tically 100 per cent. both in the num-
Der OF people who had money o deposit
in the banks, and in the total amount
Of money on deposit in Kansas.
In the state OF Missouri there were
1l7,&G7 persons who had bank accounts
IN 1894: last year there were 213.O09
bank accounts. In 1904 the total
amount of deposits in Missouri was
$o3.9l2.953. In 1899 the deposits in all
the banks of Missouri had increased to
$14l.12G.449.
While the number of depositors in
Missouri had increased by 80 per cent.
the total amount of money deposited
had increased by 100 per cent
These facts and figures do not show
the increase in the business done at
the stores. mines :nd factories. nor the
larger amount Of wages paid to the
thousands of people who earn their
livelihood in these two states.
While the democratic orators are en-
larging upon the benefits that will hap
pen to the country if a democratic
president and democratic congress be
elected this year. our citizens should
not neglect the blessings and prosper
ity which they have derived under the
