Mr. Bryan continues to insist
that imperialism is the paramount
issue. Put to the test by the New
York Herald" on the question on
what he would do in the matter of
paying the debts of the nation, he
turns tail completely and says he
will discuss that question when he
gets ready. Now, in point of fact.
the paramount issue at about all
times and in all countries is the
earning of bread and butter for
those at home, and Mr.. Bryan is
as thoroughly aware of this fact as
any other m an. He was aware Of
it when he reversed himself on the
question ,-ofs sixteen to one and
feebly came out against the logical
consequence of a treaty which he
himself advocated. It is for these
reasons that his present attitude
makes him the cause of merri-
ment not confined to the Republi-
can party. The real issue this year
again is work and wages for the
American workingmen, and that
brings him face to face with sound
money and Protection, however

Two years ago the cry of the
democratic party was reform IN.
the state administration and on.
that cry John Lind was elected.
And what has been the result?
Let us take the grain inspection

ing the first year Of Lind's ad-
ministration the number of cars
inspected was less than dhrlng the
last year of republican administ.
ration and yet. the inspection cost
$16,274.47 more. These figures
can easily be verified andif we are
wrong we ask our democratic ex-
changes to set as right. The
question will arise, who pays this
increase? And we take it that
even a novice will understand that
the producers pay the cost and by
the producers we mean the far
mers. Farmers of Jackson county
figure out this reform for your
self .-Lakefeld Standard.
The Democrats cannot 60 be-
hind the figures as they are q mat
ter of record and the farmers, who
compose the large vote of this

Lind told them 80 two years ago
when he said it would be to their

for the farmer vote that he might
bring about a reform in their in

An experiment which is report
ed to have been conducted in the
county of Limerick, Ireland, with
the result of adding 80 per cent to
the yield of a crop Of potatoes, is
of interest to farmersin Minnesota
and throughout the world. The
man who tried it is a surveyor, and
COMMUNICATIONS last spring which
led him to believe that the plants
were threatened with q disease like
the blight that produced the Irish
famine of more than half a century
ago. The diseased plants were re-
stored to healthy, vigorous growth,
and yielded an enormous crop OF
excellent quality. The apparatus
used consisted of stakes with wires
attached. Each stake was seven
feet in length, and was driven into
he ground to the depth of q foot.
A wire ran up and down the length
of each stake, providing at the top
with spurs like those of lightn-
ing rod. These wires were cross
connected by other running hori-
zontally, The object of thespura
was to collect the atmosphere
electricity, which was conveyed
into tho ground containing the
potatoes. Athmoepheric electric
ity was wholly depended upon.
What might have been accomplish
ed had artifcially generated
electricity been applied, is a mat
ter OF conjecture. The difference
between the electrically stimulated
crop and the crop on neighboring
patches left to. the unaided
influences of nature convinced the
experimenter that he had hit upon
agood thing.
