F T THE MORTGAGE.
Fnrm"r who Had Been s~uccesufuI
Was Grateful to the Re-.
publican Party.

Des Moines, Oct. ga farmer from
Madison county came into the repub.
Lean state headquarters the other
day for a little visit with Chairman
Weaver and for the purpose of con
tributing his mite toward the cam.
paign fund. He said, as he handed a
silver dollar to Chairman Weaver, that
this was just a little expression OF
his appreciation and gratitude for
what he believed the republican party
had done for him.
-Four years ago." he said, II had an
so-acre farm and there was a mort
gage on it for $4,000. / had been hav-
ing some pretty hard luck and the
mortgage got bigger instead of small
er. But when the gold standard and
the protective tariff got to work un-
der Mckinley, things began to change
with me. / have been getting along
a good deal better eve since. Last
week I sold my hogs and lifted the
whole mortgage and now the farm Is
clear, and besides it has been consid-
erably improved since 1896. I have
been reading up some of the liter
allure you sent me and got hold of
some government reports, so I could
study the question from non-partisan
authorities, and taking all these
things together, 1 have concluded
that I don't want any change. I
don't know Of many farmers who do,

cultural operations, which are progressing
well, and in the east the unreasonable tenn
