is because we have not gone out over

have done. While there is q demand
for our products of the farm and manu-
factory of this country there will al

wheat and corn and cotton and all kinds
of manufactures are a drug on the
market, and no demand for them, then
we have stringency and hard times.
FOREIGN MARKETS.
But when the highways over the
seas shall be laden with products into
foreign countries, and the gold IL
brought back in the ships, then we
shall flourish perennislly. The great
combin ations are the only powers in
this country that can do this thing for

CASE AGAINST POWERS OPENED
Trial Of First of Alleged Assassins
Begins in Kentucky.

Georgetown, KY, July 13.-The jury
was completed in the Powers case today
and the first evidence was heard. Colo
mel Campbell stated the case for the
prosecution. He reviewed the political
events OF last fall and especially the
events following the election and the in
stituting of contests by the democratic
candidates for state offices. He said
Caleb Powers was the most aggressive
among those who sought to settle the
contest by violence and that to him
largely was due the importation Of noun
tain ''feudists" to Frankfort, 175 OF whom
were retained IN Frankfort regularly.
He charged that a majority of them
had killed from one TO several men
each. He claimed q Will be put in evil
dence that on January Sth Mr.. Powers
made use of a statement that "Goebel
has not as many days to live as 1 have
fingers on my hand"
He reviewed the facts In connection
with the assassination. and claimed that
the statehOuse yard had been cleared in
furtherance of the conspiracy, cited the
closing of the executive building against
the police officers. the calling out of
troops and other matters which have
already come out In the examining trials
as further proof of the conspiracy. D.
