SAW THE DIFFERENCE
Story of Farmer Who Thought He
Was Being Robbed.
Found He Was Getting $40 More
and Paying Out Only $40 More
Than He Was in
1896.

Des Moines, Oct. 22.-The other day
a farmer went to a dealer in vehicles
in small town in Iowa to buy a bug
gy. The dealer asked him SOS for the
one he wanted.
Look here" said the farmer, what
do you mean by trying to rob me
this way? Four years ago you sold
buggy just like this one to a neigh
Dor of mine for SIS. Now you want to
gouge me out of $40 more. This is
just what 1 said would happen if
Mckinley was elected and the gold
standard was put into effect. The
trusts are putting prices up and we
farmers have to suffer for it,"
well, now, don't get excited" re-
piled the dealer, land I'll tell you
what I'll do. I'll sell you that bug
one to your neighbor four years ago.
You bring me $50 bushels of corn
that is what it took to buy the bug
gy then at 10 cents a bushel-and
you may have this buggy and that
wagon over there, which sells for
$6s, and that plow, worth SIS, and
I'll give you $40 cash besides. Still I'll
be ahead of you"
The farmer saw the point and
made TO complaint about paying SOS
for the buggy. New corn is worth
80 cents bushel now and old corn
is selling for SO and 80 cents bushel.
The crop is the largest the state has
ever known In 1896 the average
price was IA cents bushel. In many
parts of the state it was much lower.
In Nebraska the regular price was
10 cents then and 80 cents is the pres
ent price. These things have con-
frmed the farmers of Iowa and Ne
braska in their support of the re-
publican party and its policies OF
sound money and protection.
The farmers say they are willing
to divide up with the workingman
and the manufacturer in this ratio
and keep it up indefinitely. The farm
er got $l1O more for his produce and
paid only $40 more for his buggy.
In other words what he had to sell
brought him three times as much as
in 1896, but what he had to buy cost
him only Is per cent. more than in
1896. The farmers of iowa and Me-
braska understand that this is due
to the fact that conditions are made
favorable for manufacturing and all
kinds of business where people are en-
ployed and can affora to buy the best
products of the farm.

CLEVELAND SAYS MOI
Refuses to Support Bryan, Denounces
His Wild Schemes and Shows
Their Dangers.

Louisville, KY, Oct. 12.-Ex-Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland has written a
letter to John S. Green, of this city,
as follows:
"Buzzard's Bay, Oct. 4 190O-John S.
Green, ESQ. Dear Sir: I have received
your letter, inclosing a copy of my letter
written more than five years ago to the
business men of Chicago. had not seen
it in long time, but it seems to me could
not state the case better at this time If I
should try. I have not changed my opin-
ion as therein expressed in the least. Yours
truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND"
In the letter referred to, which was
dated Washington, April 10, 1895,
President Cleveland said:
ut ought not to be difficult to convince
the wage Garner that If there were benefits
arising from a degenerated currency they
would reach him least of all and last of all.
In an unhealthy stimulation of prices an
increased cost of all the needs of his home
must surely be his portion, while he is at
the same time vexed with vanishing visions
of increased wages and an easier lot The
pages of history and experience are full of
this lesson.
IF reckless discomfort and wild expert
ment should sweep our currency from its
safe support. the most defenseless of all
who suffer In that time of distress and ma
tional discredit will be the poor, as they
reckon the loss in their scanty support. and
the laborer or workingman as he sees the
money he has received from his toll shrink
and shrivel in his hand when he tenders It
for the necessaries of the humble home
Schemes Are Cloaked
I will not believe that If our people are
afforded an opportunity for intelligent sec
ond thought they will sanction schemes
that, however cloaked. mean disaster and
confusion, nor that they will consent by
undermining the foundation of safe cur
rency to endanger the beneficent character
and purposes of their government"
Every effort has been made by the
Bryanites to induce Mr.. Cleveland and
ex-Secretary John g. Carlisle to sup
port Bryan. Both have refused. They
are both supporting Mckinley.

A Mx.teriaus Box.

There is mysterious package in the
keeping of the Bank of England, the con-
tents of which will perhaps never be d.
vulged This is box which was deposit
ed with the bank in the lifetime Of the
first Duke of Wellington, with instruc-
lions that it was not to be opened except
with his consent and that of two or three
other persons of great eminence. all of
whom have long ago been dead. 1t has
always been supposed that it contained
state papers of the highest Importance.

LOVE RULES ALL.

And said that my limbs were oldf
And said ! that my blood was cold
And that my kindly fire was fed
And my poor withered heart was dead
And that might not sing of lover
How could l to the dearest theme
That ever warmed minstrePs dream,
so foul, so false a recreant prove2
How could name loves very name
Nor wake my harp to notes of flame?
In peace Love turns the shepherds reed;
In war he mounts the warriors steed;
In halls in gay attire is seen,
In hamlets dances on the green
Love rules the court, the camp, the grove,
And men below and saints above,
For love is heaven. and heaven is love.

THEY BUILT THE ROAD.
And Gould Knew Where to Get the
Rails to Do 1t.

ana UOuld Knew where to Get the
Rails to Do 1t.
Jay Gould once wanted to build a
short line to a certain place and found
rivals in the field To Sylvester T.
Smith he gave imperative orders, Get
out as big force as possible, and CON-
plete the road before the other fellows
get wind of it. and we'll head 'em off,
Smith reported presently. "Mr.
Gould, we can get all the ties, fish
plates, bolts, nuts and spikes we want,
but we can't get the rails" "Tele-
graph to every mill in the country and
pay any price," said Gould. 81 have
done so. and there is no chance for a
delivery under II months" "Then,"
said the little wizard, Ego somewhere
and tear up something. We've got
to have rails" He indicated the road
to destroy, a branch or feeder of the
Union Pacific.
Smith soon had the old road torn up
and the new one laid down. Then
came war. Stockholders of the Union
Pacific learned of the enterprise and
hailed Smith to court to answer for
tearing up railroad that belonged to
them. To their questioning he admit
ted all and had no excuse but that Jay
Gould ordered him to do 1t.
''Who is Jay Gould?" some asked.
"What has he got to do with it?''
Up rose a young lawyer from New
York to inform them that Mr.. Gould
owned all the bonds Of the Union Pa
cific road, though not dollar of it's
stock, and that he was absolute pro-
prietor of the feeder that Mr. Smith
had torn up There never was more
surprised and mystified lot of men.
They had nothing more to say.-San

didn't seem bit pleased with the
suggestion that superstition might
sometimes he responsible for the ac-
lions of miners.
Goal miners" he went on to say,
"are not superstitious. Hear noises?
OF course they do, but do people sup
pose those noises are imaginary? 1t
beats all how little is known generally
about coal mining.
Folks get it into their heads" the
inspector continued, "that man who
will quit work in certain part of
mine because he sees the rats desert
ing that section is superstitious when,
as matter of fact, he simply displays
sound judgment. Very soon after the
rats quit sounds will be heard, and
later on slide follows. What would
have happened to the man had he
credited his fears to superstition by
disregarding the exodus of the rats
! and the subsequent noises?
Rats are the first Of a mines inhab-
itants to realize danger, and then
comes the mule. Man is the last. So
it is only natural that he should take
as positive indications of trouble the
actions of the others, and he should
not be regarded as a superstitious

after rats desert an entry it is next

mule realizes the danger. Left to

powered had it not been for the timely
arrival of the Japanese. With the COM
ing of the Japanese they advanced with
a ringing cheer and the Chinese We're
routed.
''On the 18th, at a. m. the Chinese
troops uniting their forces, attacked
simultaneously from the north and
west. The allies met and beat back
each attack.
The Russian troops who were in the
advance crossed the river and attacked
the enemy from the front. They were
followed by the English, Germans and
Japanese. The Chinese were driven out
of their position on the opposite side of
the river. From near the native city,
though they continued the lombard
ment. Their shells were aimed mostly
at the conspicuous buildings in the con-
cessSons, Gordon hall and the japanese
conSulateS.
"On the 18th the enemy's attack was
directed from the left bank. AS before
their shells were aimed at the foreign
concessions and they succeeded in set
ting fire to the Specie bank, which was
burned to the ground
ION the 22d the bombardment was re-
sumed. The shelling of the besieged
concessions was continuous. The Co.'S
sacks, who were patrolling, brought in
telligence in the afternoon that a force
of 1000 to 5000 allies was advancing
from Taku to relieve Tien TSin and had
arrived within sixteen miles of Tien
TSin. There was great joy when word
was passed around of the approaching
relief, and next morning, the allied
force, attacking from the east and
south drove off the enemy and the
firing ceased
Another report published in the
Japan press from Tien Tsin says that
on June % the United States consulate
was burned during the bombardment.
The Japanese papers also tell of the
exploit of a young efnploye of a com
mercial house, named Waite, who dis
panied by four Cossacks left the be-
sieged city of Tien Tsin on June 10.
After four days of narrow escapes and
fight from pursuing boxers, he and the
Russians reached Taku on the 23d, with
their letters which asked for reinforce
mentS.

HOW THEY FIGHT.
Japanese Account of the Operations
Around Tien Tsin.

Victoria, B. c., July 18.-The steamer
Empress of India brings detailed adj
vices of the fighting at Tien Tsin. Col
onel Shimamura, who commanded the
Japanese troops at Tien Tsin prior to
the relief of that place. has forwarded
to his government a detailed report of
the incidents from the time of the at
tack until June 25. The report says in
part:
THE Chinese advanced determinedly
to the assault. There were some hum
dreds of them and they were carrying
lighted torches. They advanced in
series of rushes and the japanese al
lowed them to get within close proxim-
1ty before they Opered fire Then the
japanese fired several volleys from the
Maxims and other small guns, and the
boxers, throwing away their torches
fed Afterwards during the night, the
Chinese only approached in parties of
three or four, but made no reSolute at
tack. They contented themselves with
endeavoring to sneak up and fire the
outbuildings. On examination, the
bodies of the slain were found to be
young men of "a or 25, clad in silk and
carrying pouches with Mauser ammuni
tion. About daybreak on the 18th, some
1,500 Chinese, wearing red caps and red
belts approached, brandishing swords.
As soon as they got within range two
or three volleys were fired and they re-
tired hastily This was but an advance
party though far to the eastward was
seen a large force with a number of
large guns moving towards the native
city. The allies watched them unlim-
bering their big guns and at 245 p m.
the Chinese began a furious lombard
ment of the foreign concessions Many
of the shells fell between the British
and German concessions.
Under cover of the artillery fire,
the main body of the Chinese advanced
against the railway station, but they
were beaten back by the allies. The
Germans guarding part of the city were
attacked by a large body of Chinese
cavalry, and would have been over
