Every observing housewife
knows that foodstuffs and house
hold supplies manufactured by
trusts have increased in price since
1896. Sugar, matches, illuminating
oil, cooking and table oils, beers
and table liquors; fresh, salted,
picked and canned meats; fresh
and canned fish and oysters;
crackers and staple bakers wares
have risen in price. In some in
stances the increase in price has
been veiled by change in the name
of the wares, but the grade and
cost of manufacture have remained
unchanged despite the raise in
price.
These are tangible facts that
confront the people. They are
facts which become known through
that best and most delicate of agen-

PUBLIC DEBT EVER GROWING.

Senator Morgan, of Alabama, adj
dressed a largely attended Demo
cratic rally in Washington recent
ly and of the coinage question he
said; The only way to settle the
financial question is to pay the
public debt, and it would be very
easy to do so by saving some of
the wild expenditures we are now
making. In the course of a few
years we could save over 500, ,ooo,-
600, and we should commence to-
day, in order to save the interest
which the people are paying. The
system created by the last Con
gress is designed to increase the
national debt, and under that legis-
lation the debt cannot, and will
not, be paid, but will be increased
from year to year. The payment
of the debt would not underpin the
national banks, but would force
them to the old Jacksonian idea of
a specie basis, and we would not
be dependent for a circulating
medium on Government bonds.
When that is done the financial
question will be settled.
The Almighty made both silver
and gold for money only. They
are not SO useful as iron. We
never travel on railroads made of
these metals, nor do Ne have our
utensils made therefrom. They
are useful simply because the
Creator made them for our use as
money, but, had he considered Nc
Kinley and the Republican party,
he probably would have created
but one. However, | can see no
inclination of the Creator to de-
crease either | am in favor of sill
yer as circulating medium, be-
cause it is the money of the poor
man, and while it is circulating it
draws nointerest. The paper dol
lar is constantly drawing interest
which some one is paying"

ANYTHING BUT "ROT."

Americans do not agree with

trust issue is the veriest rot" thu
"In the strict meaning of the laws
of this country there are no trusts, "
Every American who has OBJ
served the upward trend of prices
of certain products at time when
no natural law warranted such an
increase, and who has noticed that
these products invariably were

The Gazette is the leading Re-
publican paper of the State. In
its issue of Thursday evening it
admits that the bona fide resident
proposition being urged as reason
why Congressman Newlands
should not be returned to Congress
by the people of Nevada is bun
combe. The Gazette declares that
Mr.. Newlands is a bona fide citizen
of this State and that it takes no
stock in the arguments that he is
not. The Gazette knows that after
a man resides in the State for
twelve years if he is a native born
citizen, he should certainly be rec
ognized as resident of the COM
munity in which he lives. The
Gazette states that it will oppose
the election of Mr.. Newlands on
political grounds.-Reno Ledger.

HS NcpuDllCdH oldte pldllOIHl
contains the ridiculous and malic-
ious charge that Mr.. Newlands is
nonresident of the State. The
statutes of Nevada require resi-
dence of six months in the State
to qualify a person to vote. Mr..
Newlands has exceeded that limit
by eleven years and half, having
been a continuous resident of
Washoe county for twelve consec-
utive years. Unlike our present
Senators and some of our former
Representatives in Congress, he
does not fail to materialize here,
except when he has his political
fences to repair, but every year
during the congressional vacation
he has spent most of his time
among his constituents, consulting
them in regards to the needs of
the State and what legislation is
necessary TO promote their general
interests. Before and since his
first election he represented more
taxable property in Nevada than
all of our present and previous
Senators and Congressman COM
bined, and probably hundred
times more than the Congressional
nominee who in every speech en-
deavors to delude his hearers with
the belief that Mr.. Newlands is
not an actual resident of the State.
If a continuous residence of twelve
years does not constitute an actual
residence the Journal would most
respectfully ask Mr.. harrington,
the number of years that is re-
quired TO render unrediculous such
a charge as is contained in the
Republican State platform, and
which appears to be the principal
political stock trade of the Nc
Kinley candidate for Congress. We
would like to have a limit set, so
that such mistakes may be avoided
in the future.
1t is safe to assert that Mr. New
lands has donated more money in
Nevada for public enterprises and
charitable purposes than all others
who have represented the State in
both Houses, and in all probability
ten times more than his opponent
has ever donated or will donate if
he should live to be a hundred
years of age. And yet he is
charged by the latter with being
nonresident of the State!
1t only shows the desperate
straite which, in the lack of legiti-
mate material, the Republican can
didate is forced to adopt to make
semblance of political warfare
against his opponent. He cannot
too often repeat the charge to suit
the friends and supporters of Mr..
Newlands.-/on,nak

North Owosso Faimers' Club.

On Friday August 31st our club met
at the pleasant home of Mr.. and Mrs
j. A. Willoughby. After the usual hall
hour spent in social chat the club was
called to order by the President, Mr.. w
F. Spaulding.
The meeting was opened with singing
by the club. Devotional exercises were
conducted by the chaplain, Mr.. j. A,
Willoughby, after which the club sang.
"The Reapers are Few" We next pro-
ceeded to elect officers for the re.
mainder of the year with the following
results: President, Mr.. E. o. Place;
Vice president, Mrs. w. F. Spaulding;
Chaplain, Mr.. A. Robertson; Sec'y, Mrs.
Emma Lowell; Treasurer, Mrs. Nettie
Willoughby; Reporter, Mrs. Jessie
Stiles. The questions were next taken
up and discussed by the various men,
bers of the club.
Mrs. Place favored us with selection
entitled Encouragements, which
gave us a very good idea of what a
little encouragement would do toward
making burdens lighter. The questions
assigned for the next meeting are as
follows: Different phases of farming,
A. Robertson. Rotation of crops, j. A.
Wiloughby. How the Farmers club
benefits me, each member of the club.
Hogs, how l grow them, Will Saver.
Farm conveniences, E.O. Place. How
grow corn, w. +. Spaulding. What
is the best way to eradicate Canada
thistles, f. o. Place. The best method
of destroying cabbage worms, A.

or bad for the club, Z. o. Place. g Our
hostess now announced that supper
was waiting and after partaking of the
same we understood how we'll Mrs.

Col. Bliss on the Stump.

Ole OF Ire gratifying Developments Of the
campaign in this state is The strength and
| effectiveness displayed on the stump by
Col. Bliss. Before the campaign started
Col. Bliss was not regarded as a facile
speaker. he appeared at severa! farmers
gatherings where he read from manuscript
and the impression made was not the most
favorable that could be desired. His
friends feared that in the contest with his
accomplished oprOnen he would get the
worst of it from an Oratorical point of esti-
mate; but he has disappointed his friends
in this regard Gathering inspiration from
the cheers OF ms supporters, ne now can
talk off-hand 10 his audiences and Is amaz-
ingly effective.
Col. Bliss never studied oratory and
knows very little of the art Of public speak
ing. he has been busy woIkingmau all
his life. In that school of hard and hars h
experience he learned deal of common
sense. While his opponent was porting ov,
the poems Of Sophocles and Homer and re-
citing aloud the impassioned orations Of
Demosthenes, Col. Bliss was following a
team of plow horses, removing vermin in a
southern prison, or else telling logs in the
northern woods. His opponent was memoir
izing or coming pleasing platitudes while
Col. Bliss was making his way by hard
knocks In the business world. But his
schooling was none the less thorough and
helpful.
Those who boasted that Mayor Maybury
would charm the farmers by his flowery
speeches have another guess coming. Col.
Bliss talks heart-to-heaIt with the farmers,
the millmeD, the workingmen, the old sol
diers and everybody else with the result
that he is acquiring reputation for genuine
eloquence. He is by far one of the most
convincing campaigners now in the field
and simply because he talks naturally and
with genuine sincerity. Tuesday Detroit

North Vernon Farmers Club.

The September meeting was held at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. A. w. Perry
The day being fine there was a large
gathering, number of visitors being
present. Many of the club were absent
on account of bean harvest which
caused the program to be short.
Opening song by club. Devotional
exercises, Rev. Benson. Bessie Patched
gave a recitation "The Draw bridge
keeper"
S. G. Patched read very interestln
paper on Labor" The point the
writer brought out was that labor is a
necessary factor in the development OF
an individual and should be considered
blessing instead of a'course as it.som
times is.
Recitation, 1.-The dead Mans gulch,"
Mrs. Ida Marks.
Question, "What effect would the
Chinese War have on the price of pro-
ducts of the United States" The leader,
Mr.. Atherton, being absent, Mr.. j..
j. Patched opened the discussion and
was followed by others. They were OF
the opinion that it would increase the
price of some of the products, such as
we're used to maintain an army, but
the expense and loss in war would over
balance the gain. They then listened
to instrumental music by Maud Patched
The question box brought out num-
Der of questions for discussion.
What time to SOW wheat; some in
favor of early sowing, others late. Is
the question box of any benefit to the
club? Yes, in a number of ways, by
exchange of ideas, and an opportunity
for discussion on different topics re-
quires one to think.
Mr.. George b. McCaughna, of Owosso
being present, was called on for a
speech. He responded in his usual
pleasing manner.
Mrs. Helen Kline gave a recitation,
1.-THE Little Outcast's plea"
Program for the next meeting is as
follows:

After the usual opening exercises we
took up the questions, What was the
origin of the BARRIERS pole? In olden
times the BARRIERS were blood letters as
well, and had this pole for The patient
to cling to in order to keep his arm
tense after which the pole was set in a
window to invite the next victim.

between citizen and an eector OF

difference. One visitor said he sup.
posed the club was to talk about farm
ing but we were talking political, educa'
tional and social matters.
Music and singing was given by
Mrs. Post and Mrs Merrill Miss
Blanche Shepard gave a very good
sketch of the different weeds growing
around us; the others appointed to
speak gave ascent by saying nothing.
To what extent does the hand that
rocks the cradle rule the world was
answered by different ones. Mrs
Devendorf said the mothers did not
rule the world unless they could vote
Mrs. Post thought she would rather
help to guide and instruct her two boys
than to vote. Others said there was
no use telling the boys what to do un.
less pa did right. Miss Guilford said
we should never have family quarrels
and disturbances before the children.
In regard to corn harvesting Mr..
Rowell said we should use the machine
by all means, it would not talk back as
a man will. He spoke about threshing
corn as being the best way TO husk il
we could handle the corn. Others
objected to the corn harvester and
husker too, as wasting the corn and be-
ing too expensive; Mr.. Potter said in
cutting corn to cut row through and

along.

OF II is paid out in salaries and wages. No
other city in the world can equal this show
ing. In other American municipalities
the expenditures are large and the returns
are not commensurate with the outPo; but
with the worst that the average American
city can do IL cannot begin to equal the
pace set by New York.
In the meanwhile the average taxpayer
would like to get the worth of his money.
At present rates his return is not over

twenty five cents represents all sorts Of
