Mutton the Primary Consideration.

Mutton the Primary Consideration.
Notwithstanding the apparent con-
traction of our focks the sheep in
dustry has made substantial progress,
says report of the Department Of
Agriculture. It has been established
IN a more permanent and lasting ba-
sis by making mutton the primary con-
sideration and wool incidental, in
stead of the reverse, as has generally
been the case heretofore. On this
basis, sheep raising will return sat
isfactory profit one year with another,
independent of the price of wool, or
nearly so, as it has been clearly dem
onstrated that it does not cost any
more, if even as much, to produce a
pound of mutton from good mutton
sheep under average farm conditions
than to produce pound. of beef, when
the wool Is left entirely cut of con-
sideration; and the wool always has
some value; it seldom goes so low that
well-bred mutton sheep will not yield
a fleece worth from Is cents to $3.50.

Plaster is form of lime often used,
though it's action in Tightening the
soil, making it more compact, or
sweetening it is less powerful than
that of Stacked lime. Hence the value
of plaster lies principally in its prop
,erty of making available some other
plant food (notably potash), which
may already exist in the SOIL. It is
therefore not as economical as Stacked
lime, because the latter will serve
both purposes enumerated

Bad Milk is Always Bad-In regard
to keeping milk fresh there is one
point that should not be forgotten, and
that is that when milk once begins to
sour or becomes tainted in any way no
amount of work will remedy the
damage. In the interest Of his other
patrons the creameryman should re-
ject every can of milk that is off in any
way whatever. Sour milk or milk
that is off favor for any. reason is Of
no use to the creamery.

HUMOR IN THE CAMPAIGN.
Some Proofs That Politics Is Not Such
Dry Business. .-
Washington Star, Ind. ]

Washington Star, Ind rf
Whatever else may be said of the cam
paign, it has not lacked for humor Of a
distinct and very relishable character.
And it should be added in justice to the
Democrats that they have supplied much
tie greater part Of it.
The fun began at Kansas City with an
Ice Trust man assisting in drawing a plat
form against trusts, Mr.. Tillman, of South
Carolina, reading in stentorian tones, and
with solemn visage of approval, declara-
ton against government by force, and
Richard Croker proposing for Mr.. Bryan's
running mate an obscure official from the
city Of New York. Those things tickled
the country, and were accepted as an earn
est of quite as good things to follow. And
quite as good things have followed.
In time Carl Schurz, who had got Melted
in his own sophistries and gone over TO
Mr.. Bryan, came forw ard with a reply to
the charge that, in the event of his cleo
ton, Mr.. Bryan, through the agency of u
silver Secretary Of the Treasury, would be
able to force silver payments over the
governments counter Mr.. Schurz did
not believe this possible, but pointed out
that, if it was true, the Republicans had
the remedy in their own hands. They
had only to tie Mr.. Brysn's hands with
additional legstion next Winter The
country would suffer DO loes if the Repub-
lcans, after Reputation at the polls,
would leave az parting legacy to the
country legislation fatty opposed to the
November verdict
We had then the news that some OF his
frieuds-a Southern man or two among
the number-were advising Mr.. Bryan to
speak a word for manhood suffrage in the
United States. Imagine the candidate for
the Presidency whose principal support
comes from States where the minority
rules, and by force, rebuking those States
directly for their Acknowledgement of vot-
ers
We have now the discovery by Tam

The facts which will strike every reader
in this comparison are the small difference
in the estimates Of the New York Herald
and the Republican National Committee,
and the preposterous claims Of the Demo
cratic National Committee. No set oil
men who considered themselves response
BILE for their word would put out a state
ment such as the Democratic National
Committee has made public. 1t is pure
bluff. 1t is only one more evidence Of the
desperate situation in which the Bryanites
find themselves, situation in which wild
claims and reckless boasts are the only re-
sort. If there was any doubt that the
Democrats had got to that pass their esti-
mate Of 1926 electoral votes for Bryan
would prove it.
On the other hand, the fairness and i'm
partially of the Republican estimate will
impress intelligent observers. The States
claimed are those that careful canvasses
have practically removed from doubt.
Some States placed in the doubtful column
may be objected to and conceded to Bryan
while, on the other hand, some States con-
ceied to Bryan might be put in the doubt
full column. Such an estimate invites con-
findence. 1t suggests that those who made
it know whereof they are speaking. 1t
will be disappointment, however, to
many who have watched this campaign If
McKinley's electoral vote is not larger
than any claim yet made. But if go it will
detract nothing from its force that the
ante. election estimates have been modest
and based on reliable information, while
the boastful claims Of the Bryanites will
only add modification to the sorrow OF
their defeat.

"What more pitiful sight could there

Crookston, Mimi, Ethan that of an editor
writing in the defense Of trusts on paper

trust ?" That is spectacle calculated to
wiring the hearts of the oppressors, or even
to touch the sensibilties of hardshell &C.
topus. Yet it is not quite so fetching,
perhaps, as the sight of a disappointed,
discredited politician, who has failed as a
lawyer and at farming, travelling about the
country preaching discomfort to busy
workingmen and prosperous farmers, in
citing patriotic citizens to distrust OF gov
eminent and sympathy with foreign foes
in time Of war, and attempting to arouse
preiudices by intimations Of extortion
against paper manufacturers, when he
knows that bis fellow-fakirs who have en-
gagged in yellow journalism are able to

In his admirable address before the
American Bankers Association yesterday,
Hon. Ellis II. Roberts said:
The balance Of trade in our favor for
three years averages 1860, 1890. To
our stock Of gold every year since 1896
has been added more than 500, 100000 on
the average record never before known
among nations. The gold in circulation,
including certificates, has reached $751;
084 1925, which is more than all our cur
rency prior to 1880, and is Sl063 per cap
ita OF our population, which is higher
than the total circulation in 1862.
In spite Of the vast outflow the gross gold
in tue Treasury is the largest it ever held
$437 ,221, l91-and it is growing. Except
the abnormal hoard Of $3.50, 10000 of the
Bank Of France, likely to be soon reduced,
there is nowhere else in the world so much
Of the yellow metal under single control.
If tLis flow OF gold shall satisfy the APP
peal for more money, how healthy our
cur ency will bel
The wealth Of our people by the new
census will not fall below 500, 600, 0OO, 600,
and their annual net production is at least
81, 500, 100000. This wealth and this
growth are beyond parallel in human an
mails.
They explain why the world comes to us
to borrow. But those who borrow from
us must pay with interest. 1t is just as
healthy for us to export gold as it is to ex-
port coal or iron or cotton or grain or
pork or beef, except az more labor enters
into those articles.
In such facts as letters American bank
ers hang out their sign, like a planet in
the heavens: Money to lend to the nations;
gold galore to spare. But fair notice is
served that the yellow metal must come
back, for Of all countries now and here
after this is the home of gold.
Without dragging in the question of poll
tics, every fair-minded man must confess
that this exhibit is splendid yindication
Of the gold standard. We have now be-
come creditor nation" and our free
silver friends contended in 1896 that the
gold standard was the correct thing for
nations that had plenty of money to lend.

CLAIMS AND C0UNTERCLAIMs.
Philadelphia Press.l

Philadelphia Press
The last weeks of a Presidential cam
paign are always filled with claims and
counterclaims as to how the election is 60
int. The party which has the best pros
poets of success at that time states the sit
uation pretty fairly as an assurance to its
supporters Sometimes it may claim a
little more than it expects, but in the
main it adheres to facts. Its opponent,
however, recognizing the desperate condi'
ton of its cause, tries to bolster up its
hopes by wild and impossible assertions.
This fact is as true of this campaign as
of past ones. Three of these estimates
have appeared the present week. One
was made by the Independent New York
Herald; a second was given out by the Re-
publican National Committee, while a
third purports to come from the Demo-
cratic National Committee. These three
estimates of the electoral vote compare as

WOOL AND PROSPERITY.
Philadelphia Press.l

Philadelphia Press.
An exhaustive report On the sheep and
wool industries of the United States has
just been made by ]. K. Dodge, special
agent OF the United States Department Of
Agriculture. 1t throws q strong light OIL
the evil influence of the lean Cleveland
years and the Wilson bill iniquty on the
American wool products, and by figures
and diagram, makes clear what Mckinley
prosperity really means. AS the report
notes -
The diagram shows in Xxx Ohio a com
paratively slight fuctuation in London be-
tween 1892 and 1897, but in this country q
fearful fall, 294 to III cents, where it re-
manned with slight change for three fateful
years, at the bottom of depression which
was veritable slough Of despond to the
American wool grower. The recovery I'M
der the present law, shown in a line al
most vertical, is as sudden as the fall was
precipitate. The effect Of the law Of 1894
on manufacturers Was scarcely less injuri-
Gus than upon wool growers. They were
not subjected to free goods, but were ex-
posed to a competition under reduced
rate of duty which they could not with
stand, flooding the country, stopping sales,
first exhsusting profits, then reducing
wages, and finally shutting down mills.
Not only this, but the Cleveland free
trade policy, instead of lettering the quail.
ity of woolens, precipitated an era Of shod-
dy and inferior goods. Under the Dingley
law the whole face of things has been
changed for the better, though it has taken
time to overcome the terrible blight re-
sulting from interpolation OF pure theory
to practical affairs. AS Mr.. Dodge points
out -
There never was more total failure Of
ful6llment of prophecy or more complete
refutation of an industrial fallacy than that
furnished by American experience with
free wool. AS result of the act of 1894,
instead of 5000 more operatives, half Of
all were out Of employment in 1895, with
q great and disastrous loss OF wages. The
demand for domestic wool was reduced as
never before, and prices fell more than
half, as stacks of foreign wool were piled
up in importing warehouses. Wages, in
stead of increasing, were not merely re-
duced, but cut off totally for the multi
tudes unemployed, to whom employment
at half pay was better than starvation.
Today the returns tell different story,
and it is the practical facts of this kind
that are known to the Western Fheepmen,
as we'll as to Eastern manufacturers, that
determine the politics Of sensible men.
The situation today is one of hope, since
the present Admipish alton recognizes as
final the economic fact that the prosperity
of the American wooden manufacturers is
bound up with the American wool grow
ers. Already the former are increasing
their exports, while the latter are better
ing their product. Certainly, no wool
grower or wool manufacturer will willingly
return to a condition worse than that pro-
moted by Clevelsndism, and compared
with the menace Of Bryan the Cleveland
theories seem like practical virtues.

governor ROOSEVELT did not hesitate
to answer Mr.. Bryan's question about the
Ice Trust in direct way. He put two
questions to MIR. Bryan, and these ques'
tons ought to be answered directly. One
of the questions Roosevelt asks Bryan, is
whether he will pay out silver along with
gold on the Governments obligations, if
he is elected President. The other ques-
ton asked Mr.. Bryan is tostate whether he
thinks it is right to disfranchise the negro
in North Carolina and other Southern
States and complain because tie negro is
not enfranchised in the Philippines. We
venture to say that Mr.. Bryan will not
give direct answer to these questions.

Mr.. Schurz's diatribe was best answered
by the fact that John G. Carlisle has come
out for Mckinley for sound money reas-
ons. He is better judge Of the dangers
to honest finance than Mr.. Schurz. He
declines to turn over the gold cause to its
enemies, as Mr.. Schurz would do. Mr..
Carlisle counts more with the country
than Mr.. Scnurz aud bis action IN taking
the presidency Of the Democratic Sound
Money League to defeat Bryan has the
moral effect of multiplying the hysterical
utterances of Mr.. Schurz, whose heart and
mind would be in better state had not
one become the victim of bis disappoint-
mepts and the other the sport of his inn
mense vocabulary for defamation.

BOSSES AND BRYAN.
How the Latter Proved Himself the
Greatest Boss Of All.

Brooklyn Eagle, Ind. Dem.
Hanna was presumed to be master Of
the situation at Philadelphia in Republi'
can convention days. He was exceeding
ly careful, however, about squaring bis
purposes with the party preferences,
hence his advocacy Of Theodore Roose-
welt.
On the other hand, Bryan was the mas
ter of the situation at Kansas City. His
party had had more than little more
than enough of free silver. 1t baked at
the very mention of its name. With
rowels at his heels, Bryan rode through
the convention hail. He Issued an ulti.
matum. He compelled the reaffirmation
of thoroughly exploited and thoroughly
exploded fallacy. He had poison in one
hand and dagger in the other. Con-
ventions have been browbeaten before,
but there are few or no parallels for sur
render when vital principle has been at
stake. Every Democrat who is going
back to Bryan for anti expansion reasons
justifes bis return to the fold by saying
that silver is as dead as the occupant of a
sarcophagus. Assuming this to be the
case, great party was compelled to turn
its face backward by the ipse dixit of one
man, an achievement Hanna can never
hope to match and possible to Croker
only in dream.
The shame of that surrender is written
in fast colors. The assertion of power by
which it was prompted came from one
who is now surfelting US with platitudes
about government with the consent of the
governed and about bossism.
