Corn and Candy.

During the fiscal year ended July 81,
1899, the consumption of corn for glu-
cose and its by-produets amounted to
over 2T.000.000 bushels, which is equiva-
lent to the whole yield from one million
acres, based on an average of % bushels
OF corn to the acre. From one-third to
one-fourth OF the glucose product of this
same year went directly into the manu-
facture Of candy. according to a state
ment which is made by one of the lead
ing authorities in the glucose trade. The
prosperity in the candy trade which is
directly responsible for such big part
OF last years great consumption OF glu-
cose, and the absorption at good prices
OF a large portion Of the 1899 crop Of the
corn growers OF the West. was directly
due to the general prosperity. When
the mills are closed. and the workman
cannot ill his dinner pail with the nee
essaries Of life. candy is a luxury for
which there is little demand. That can
dy can now be eaten in the families Of
workmen Is one Of the bet evidences u

THE SOUTH EXPANDS
Prosperity the Issue in the
Presidential Campaign.
Col. W. A. HemphiIl, of the ATLANTA
Constitutions" Says Democratic Lead
ers Must. Fight Against Prosperity,
and All Other Issues Are Subor-
diuated.

Col. W. A. Hemphill, president Of the
Atlanta Constitution Company. was re-
Gently in Chicago. He is enthusiastic
over the future Of the South, and his ex-
perience as a newspaper man gives
weight to his utterances. In the chicago
Evening Post he said:
Democratic leaders will find that the
great battle of the ballots will have to
be fought, so far as the Democracy is
concerned, against prosperity. All 9th
err issues are subordinated to this one Of
prosperity, and the prosperity the South
is now enjoying is increasing in volume.
1t will be something marvellous by win
ter, if the present rate is continued. With
cotton selling at to 10 cents, the South
is assured great good times. l have made
investigation and l am safe in saying
that the deposits in Southern banks to-
day are double what they were year
ago. Nearly every national bank has
taken advantage Of the law to issue notes
up to the legal limit.
"If a man were to borrow an express
sion from the game Of poker, the South
has great hand-she has four kinds.
These are cotton, coal, iron and lumber.
The world is the market of the South for
these supplies in the crude state. But

Filipinos Ask Providence to Decree

Filipinos Ask Providence to Decree
the Election of Bryan.
Maj. Arlington u. Belts Of Toledo,
Ohio, brave soldier now serving in the
Philippines, writes to friends in his home
city that the Tagal rebels in the islands
are constantly encouraged by men Of the
Bryan stripe to continue killing our SOL
diers, and that the rebellion there can be
suppressed most effectually by ballots
cast in the United States next November.
When the American troops took the
town Of Tobacco, in Luzon, they found
posters everywhere bearing proclama-
ton, n copy Of which Maj. Belts sends
in his letter. Note well the following ex-
tract:
Here Is indisputable proof that the in
surgent Filipinos are kept well inform
ed of Mr.. Bryan's utterances. They know
his sympathy with them. They are en-
couraged to keep on shooting American
soldiers in the hope Bryan will replace
Mckinley and usher in ''happy hours"
What do the Democrats Of the United
States think Of this?
Are they willing to have Bryan, the
Populst put them on record as allies of
the rebellious FilipinOs?
Let them ponder these things, as
American citizens. before next Novem-

The Plan that Failed.

The Filipino insurgents. some time be-
fore the war broke out between the
United States and Spain, got up sched-
ulc of their grievances against the rule
OF the Spaniards. There were over TWEEN
ty specifications. not one Of them would
be possible under the American flag.
The Filipinos who We're induced to take
up arms against the United States. af-
ter the Spanish rule was broken, were
in the enjoyment of liberties unheard of
in all their experience. The only thing
they complained OF was that the United
States did not turn them over to the one
man Of their race who claimed to own
them. and the whole country also. with
out a shadow of authority from the in
habitants. The Aguinaldo plan was. af-
ter he had appointed himself. to proclaim
that the people had ratified the appoint
ment and then become lord OF thousand
Islands because he had been appointed
and ratified as the successor in despot-
ism Of the departed Spaniards.

Mckinley Is Our Man.

McKinley's fame has had boom
Since ever 1t began;
No silver crank can win this year
Mckinley Is our man.
From north to south his fame resounds
And every breeze doth fan
From sea to sea this glad refrain,
Mckinley is our man.
There's not chance for Colonel B.
To get his "Aunty" clan
In sight of Washington, because -
Mckinley is our man.
So let him hustle after votes
And get them il he can.
But on election day he'll find

Our business has been more prosperous
in the last three years than in the entire
previous history of the company. This is
true not only Of Chicago, but elsewhere.
1t is chiefly due to two causes. Not only
has the telephone established itself as a
necessity to business and private inter
ests, but it is also owing to the pro-
nounced prosperity which has been gen
eral Throughout the country. AS said,
the growth of the Chicago company in
these years has been equal to the entire
growth before that time. Personally l

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Candy Is one OF the luxuries. When
times are hard and money scarce, we feel
it, tell you we do. The last three or
four years show vast increase in our
business. There has been Improvement
each year over the preceding one, and
this year the prospects are that business
will be better than it has been for six
years. The general trade throughout the
United States in the last four years has
increased fully 80 per cent. In some
cases it has doubled, the increase being
specially noticeable in large establish
ments. This business is essentially an in
dcator OF the moment. Supply equals
demand. We cannot store our goods
away in barns and warehouses and wait
for the market to rise or the trade to
come to us. Instead we are controlled
by the demands of the hour. Take the
chocolate trade alone. Americans are
only now beginning to awaken to the nu-
tritive and delightful qualities of good
chocolate and chocolate candies. Euro
peans have been familiar with this for
years. During the past year or two our
trade in this line has increased by
bounds until to-day half of our custom
ers call for chocolates. l am Demo
crat, but am free to say that while con-
ditions exist as they do at the present
time, it would be wise to let well enough
none and make no change.-C. f. Gun

Mr.. Bryan argued for free silver as the
only remedy for those\ apparently hope

take his remedy, and yet got well. What
is the inference? Mr.. Bryan's remedy
was not much of remedy as he thought
it. Mr.. Mckinley will be reelected be-
cause of the prosperity now existing. A

perity.-J. A. Smith, Humphrey, Neb.
The whole situation can be expressed
in a sentence. The country is enjoying
a most wonderful period of prosperity.
The country at large, the individual cor
porations and the people themselves have
been successful to degree under the
present administration and the Republi-
can party deserves universal support,
