tain Holstein dairyman while milking.
Stepping in his stables, noticed that
just out of reach of my hat, about seven
feet from the floor, above the cows
hips, a No. 9 wire, drawn tight, ran
the whole length of the stable. On
this, in the rear of each stall, was q
small ring or harness clasp, from
which hung a stout cord attached at
its lower end to the cows tail at about
the point where the brush or long hair
begins. This cord was long enough to
allow the animal to switch with com
fort. The device. answers the purpose,
but the sight Of q stable, full Of cows
with pompadour tails is sure to pro-
yoke a smile. N. g. Kains, in Farm

Butter-Mnking on Farms,

The creameries have driven the farm
ers out in making butter in some sec
tions, but it is not because farmers can
not compete with creameries, for there
are many farmers who do so. It is the
farmer who does not know how to make
good butter who has surrendered. The
best and highest priced butter comes
from the farmers, but it is produced
with care in every detail, and it does
not even have creamery butter. as its
competitor. Farmers and dairymen
should not yield the production Of but
ter TO creameries, but endeavor to make
"a better article.

DEAR BOY LETTERS-No. 2.

My Dear Boy-You say that you have
read Mr.. Bryan's speech at indianapolis
| and that there are some things in 1t that
| appear to be reasonable"
Well, Mr.. Bryan is a very pleasant
speaker and can make a plausible show
| ing when he has a very weak case. He
| is "a clever, respectable gentleman who
learns his bread by the sweat Of his
| Jaw" and he has learned his trade very
| well. But let me call your attention to
| a few solid facts for you to consider be-
| fore you feel inclined to yield your mind
to his brilliant generalities about impe-
rialism.
1. Mr.. Bryan's record proves him to
be an unsafe leader. He is a theorst
rather than a practical man of affairs.
In every campaign in the past and upon
every issue heretofore presented to the
people for settlement, Mr.. Bryan has
been mistaken. The results have proved
that he was mistaken. The natural pre-
sumption is that he is mistaken now.
When a Democratic Congressman and
also Populist leader in 1892, Mr.. Bryan
was very sure that free trade was the
thing needed to insure prosperity in the
United States. He was sure that the
"robber tariff" was making it hard for
the farmer and the wage Garner to live.
He and those who believed as he did
succeeded in convincing the people, and
the Wilson bill, free trade measure, was
adopted and became a law. Three years
of bitter experience proved that Mr..
BRYAN and his friends were mistaken.
Factories were closed laboring men were
without employment; capital found no
productive investment, and the produce
of the farm brought no adequate return
to the farmer from 1893 to 1897 while
this free trade bill was the law.
In 1896 Mr.. Bryan and his Democratic
Populist following dropped the tariff is
sue like a hot potato and took up that
Of free silver During that campaign he
declared that il the free coinage Of sill
yer at the ratio of 16 TO was not adopt
ed, il a gold standard continued to be
the law and became the fixed policy of
the country, that prices will go down is
as certain as the law Of gravitation;"
that ''the rich will grow richer and the
poor poorer" that there will be a de-
crease in the amount of money in circula-
tom" that ''the army Of the unemployed
will continue to increase"
Results have proved that Mr.. Bryan
was again mistaken. Every one Of his
predictions turned out to be false. We
have now a protective tariff and the gold
standard law. Prices have gone up in
stead Of down. while the rich have grown
richer, the poor have shared in the gem
eral prosperity, the amount Of money in
circulation has largely increased, and la
Dor was never more generally employed
nor more adequately rewarded than now.
Is II not fair to presume that the gen
tleman who has always been mistaken
upon every other leading issue is mistak-
en- about imperialism, which be declares
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1900-09-07

to be the paramount issue of this cam
paign?"
2. Your father remembers two cam
paigns before this when imperialism and
miitarism were the keynote of the Dem
ocratic war cry. The first was in 1864,
when the mighty Lincoln, whose name
/ was not quite old enough to vote for
him, although l was carrying an Enfield
rifle in the Union army, and | remember
how unjust it seemed TO me because |
was old enough to fight and not old
enough to vote. / remember that our
Democratic friends said that the re-elec-
ton of Lincoln meant the downfall Of
the republic and the establishment of an
empire by force of arms.
The same cry came to the front in 1872
when Gen. Grant was a candidate for re-
election. "Caesarism," "nepotism" and
military tyranny" were the sum and
substance of every Democratic speech,
and the downfall of the republic was pre-
dicted if Grant should be elected.
Well, the logic of events proved that
our Democratic friends were mistaken.
Lincoln and Grant were elected, but the
republic lived on. No empire was estab-
lished. No army tyrannized over the peo-
pie. The nation grew and prospered
Free speech, free schools and free press
not only continued, but enlarged their
privileges and powers.
In this letter l have shown you that
the presumption is against the Demo
cratic position.
In every campaign for forty years the
logic of events has proved that the Dem
ocrats were wrong and the Republicans
right. 1t is not unfair to presume that
such is the case this year.

CHAPTER II.
Supply and Demand.

Five days had passed by since the
postal card from Ezra Grey was re-
ceived. 1t was now the day for him to
arrive in Boonsville.
The County Convention of the Peo-
pies Independent party had been held,
and Winnie Grey was successful in re-
ceiving the nomination. She was now
candidate for County Superintendent
of Public Schools in Marble County on
the Populist ticket.
Political Simon was very proud of his
daughter, and only one thing married
his happiness-the awful fact that his
brother Ezra was Republican.
His first impulse after reading that
"Hurrah for Mckinley" followed by
three exclamation points, was to give
his brother a cool welcome, but after
much thought and consideration he de-
cided to treat him all right as long as
Ezra didn't let his neighbors know that
he was Republican. He felt If it be-
came known in Brownsville it would dis
grace the Grey family, especially as he
had said so much about sending for his
brother to give series of lectures in
favor of Free Silver.
1t was bitter cup for him to swal-
low, but there was no way to escape.
So when Ezra Grey stepped from the
platform of the train Simon grasped
his hand and gave it a hearty shake, at
the same time taking secret survey or
his clothes to see if he had Mckinley
button on. To his satisfaction there
was nothing about his person to inform
people of the awful truth; so with real
delight he introduced him to all he met
as his brother, Mr.. Grey, from Pennsyl-
vania.
Just as they were preparing to start
for home Ezra Grey's keen ear heard
group of men, near by, discussing him.
One of the men, evidently Populist,
was heard to remark:
"Talk about the Populist party being
composed of ignorant men, and then
look at that fellows face. Would you
call him an ignoramus"
BY this time the two brothers had
started up the dusty road, and Ezra
Grey heard no more of the conversa-
ton.
Say, Simon" he said, ''did you hear
those fellows discussing me? They
seem to have the impression that l am
a Populist. Wonder how they ever
happened TO think thatY' he said, laugh
ing.
Blame me for that" said Simon. Il
told them that | had brother back in
Pennsylvania capable of making
speeches, and l thought of sending for
him to lecture for Free Silver in these
parts through the campaign. This was
before l received your card, of course
Is it possible. Ezra, that you have not
yet seen the light?"
Ezra Grey chuckled, in spite of ST.
mons solemnity.
1.-The light? Is that the name they
have for the silver delusion in this part
Of the country? So you are Pop are
you, SimOnT
Indeed am. am proud of that dis

you have been led into the silver trap.

" advocating the election of William ].
Bryan for President, and at the same
time daily printing articles to prove that
il is possible for a man to live on fifteen

might soon be such a state OF affairs that

for him to be informed that he can live
