higher than ever before in the history the prosperous year 1892, when they reached the highest point that had ever been known up to that time.
 The effect of this condition upon the farmer is shown by the figures quoted below. In 1892 and 1899 the people of the United States consumed practically 6 bushels of wheat per capita, and in 1892 but little over bushels per capita The home marke, took, in 1892 63 per cent of the total crop of that year. and in 1899. 67 per cent.
 But in 1894, under the depression and necessity for economy on the part of a large proportion of the consumers, it took only 5S per cent of the total pro- duction. Even the fact that wheat was cheaper in 1894 than in 1892 or 1899 did net enable the people at that time to consume as much as they are now con- suming under the present high prices which the farmer is getting for his
 
 of wheat in 1894 WAS 67c per bushel, and in 1899 75c per bushel. It is still higher in 1900. Yet with the general depres- sicn which existed in 1894 the home market was less valuable to the farmer than for many preceding years, while under the prosperity which protection and sound currency supply he sold at home a larger share of his products and at higher prices in 1892 and 1899.
 Mir. Bryan and the democratic party propose 50 return to all of the condi- tions which produced the depression of 1894. thus greatly reducing the value of the home market and the price of ev- erything that the farmer has to sell.

In reply to Col. Wilson's open letter offering to flip a coin with Mark Smith to decide which shall carry the banner Marcus Aurelius says he will not make any terms with the Yavapai man. It is now up to the colonel again, and his supporters assume that he will grit his teeth and continue his fight. They declare that te has acted fairly in of fering to settle the vexed question, and '.lat any further advances on his part would have the effect of aliana ting the friends who have stood by him since the day of the convention. The colonel appears to have nothing in the way of an issue to stand upon except misrep- resentations of Governor Murphy in connection with the Yavapai bond matter and the mining proclamation, but in this he is on an equality with Mark Smith The Republican w,ll see that is readers are kept fully in formed of the statements made by both EIilson and smith on the stump, to the end tE1t the.T unfair msthods of cam paigning may be thoroughly under stood

TRIED BY HIS PEERS.

The late Henry W. Payne of the Massachusetts bar was once defending a chari-y case in which a boy of 15 was charged with arson. He made a strong case to prove the defendant an idiot. After a charge from the judge which was practically an order for acquittal, the jury brought in a verdict of guilty. The judge asked Payne if he would move for new tr:al. II thank you for your suggestion" was the answer, but I am oppres ssed with the gravest doubts whether I have the right to move for q new trial. Your honor, I have already asked for and received for my idiot client the most precious heritage of our English and American common law a trial by jury of his paers." Payne had an old quarrel With the supreme court, and never lost an opportunity of showing his contempt for that body. Once, riding from Boston to Cambridge, with a load of law books, he was ac- cOsted by young Harvard man with the remark: You have quite a load, MT. Payne. Law books, I suppose?"

OF COURSE.-Governor Roosevelt was quite right in saying as he did at Leadville that if the administration had done in the Philippines as it's critics now say it should have done, those very critics, from MT. Bryan down, would now be denOuncing it therefor in ex- traVagant terms. While it is not pos sible to declare with absolute certainty what would have occurred in any hypo- thetical case, there is nothing more reasonable than to assume, with entire confidence, that if President Mckinley had renounced United States sover- eighty over the Philippines the whole Bryanite party, with Mir. Bryan at its head would now be dcnOuncing him as q traitor in thus dcpriVing the nation of splendid heritage which was it's own by every principle of morals and of laW--NeT York Tribune.

WAS TT A BAIT?-''Hanna's invita- ing trust in the United States appears very much like an effort on the part of the former to bait the democratic can Gidate,' said w. J. Clifford. of Iowa. Tn the first place, the word trust when applied to large industrial corpo- rations, is q misnomer. It is commonly used, however. to denote q supposed combination of capital that has d mo- nopoly on some commodity. Taking the word in this meaning, Hanna iS right in claiming that there are no sI,ch things as trusts. There are no apso- luta mOnopolies, at lease not in any commodity in general use.
 "The Standard Oil Company. which is held Up as the greatest octopus of them all, has competition. and cOmpe- titiOn that EcthsIs it very much. The declaration of both parties against trusts is doubtless aimed at concerns that control very large proportion of the trade in any one article.
 The question is, low large a pro portion of all the tlate must corpo- ration control before it becomes trust? It is q question tEat Bryan or any other man. would have difficulty in answering. and Hanna undoubtedly had well defined purpose when he threw down the gauntlet. Bryan had an undisputed rieat to ignore the chal- l=nge and treat Hanna question E. 2

PARDON ME BUT

PARDON ME BUT Bryan.
 He has lot out his prophezying busi- ing Mack. He says the Filipino branc'l should be given up but, so far, nobody has been able to find out HOW Bryan would manage to give it up. That's one of his secrets. Bryan is chock full of this kind of secrets. When Mack first looked over this little branch, ne found the Filirinos using wooden rails. He offered to put in steel rails, fix up t:e line an1 teach the Filipinos how to run modern and civilized machinery. But the little breech-clouted fellows threw stones at the first crew of Amer ican train hands and Mack has since been unable to find enough of the Fili- pines to do for a conference. In the meantime. Mack IS running the branch as hest he can and patiently waiting for the truants to repent of their cussed- ness and come in from the hills and swamps and talk it over.
 That's the size of it.
 The softest snap in this world is to
 
 the trouble of offering an exact rem edy for the faults. Bryan seems to be enjoying the snap. Unconstitutional" robbery" slavery ruin of the re- public" he howls. But the howl is not young. That same old howl has been used by political fault finders since the first days of Washington's taking the presidential chair. Bryan's yawps have been yawped for generations and by far abler yawpers.
 Now. how about all this Filipino busi TESS?
 Some folks wanted a war. Mack wasn't hankering for it. He carried a musket in war once that was WAR I He knew that war wasn't comic1l. But We had to have a little excitement. Cousin George Dewey, he went into Manila. Now, will Bryan or anybody else tell of a case where a commander has captured an enemy's fort and then trotted right off so as to give the ensmy time to get its breath and build a new fort? In war. captain does not go up to the other fellow, give him a real sassy slap and then wait for the other fellow to get up his muscle and let go of his fist.
 Spain signed treaty of peace.
 What then? What about the Phil ippines? Bryan or any man knows tha. when war ends between two na- tions. the dependencies of the defeated nation if left to themselves by the vic torious nation, meet one of two fates: anarchy reigns or else other nations dash in and g0bble up the unprotected dependencies. A dependency is a de- pendency.
 Suppose Mack had pulled out.
 Behold Bryan shouting until ne Was purple in the flce. "Cowyard. Cow yard, Cowyard!" And who shall say his howl, for once, would not have been on the level?

THIRTY TONS OF PENNIES.-Chi- cago's Penny Savings society has only been established for a few years, but it's deposits have been as follows:
 Year ending June 30, 1898. ........ .S19, 40 Year ending June 30, 1899. 9........ 33,9SO Year ending June 30, 1900......... Il, ,I93
 William HoIlister, who is acting pres ident of the Chicago Penny Savings SO ciety. says Chat it is operated entirely on a philanthropic basis and supported by voluntary contributions. There are only two salaried officers, young ladies, at the office in the Schiller build ing. The system is in operation in only half the schools in Chicago. yet the amount of money deposited last year averaged 30 cents for every child in the Chicago school district, and 50 cents per capita for all the children in the schools in which the Penny Say ings society is operated. The weight of last years savings was thirty tons of pennies. an enormous mass for the lit tie ones to put in the banks in one year. 1t will be noticed that the increase be- tween the amount deposited in 1898 and 1899 was 70 per cent. But between 1899 and the year just ended the increase in the amount of pennies deposited was considerably more than 100 per cent.
 The children would certainly not be able to save their pennies if their pa rents did not have the money to give them, and the exhibit made by the Chi cago Penny Saving Society is certainly a straw showing that he people of Chi cago have experienced more and more good times and prosperity during the republican administration of President Mckinley.

AS TO COTTON.-The price of an ounce of silver in New York in March, 1896, just prior to the nomination of MT. Bryan, was a little over 70 cents and the price of a pound of cotton was 715 cents. In other words. in 1896 1t required ten pounds of cotton to buy an ounce of silver; today an ounce Of silver is worth @ cents and a pound of cotton over 10 cents, so that it now only requires six pounds of cotton to buy an ounce CT silver instead of ten pounds, as was the case in 1896.
 The price of cotton is governed by the ability of people to buy and the rela- ton of production to the worlds de- mand. Under the prosperity and man. ufacturing activity which prevailed in the United States in 1892, the home market took a much larger share of our enormous cotton crop than it was able to take under the business depression and inactivity of manufacturers which existed in 1894.
 Official reports of the bureau of sta tistics show that the consumption of cotton in the United States, which amounted to more than 1,571 ,00O, ,000 pounds in 1892, fell to 1,OS6, ,000, 900 in 1894, a reduction of nearly one-third. But in 1899 the consumption of cotton in the United States amounted to 2,OO6,- 000 900 pounds, having nearly doubled as compared with 1894 and increased 30 per cent over the corresponding period of 1892.
 The per capita consumption of cotton in the United States amounted to over twentyfour pounds for each individual in 1892, but it fell to less than sixteen pounds in 1894, and increased to more than twenty-seven pounds in 1899
 Nearly 35 per cent of the entire cotton crop was consuTed at home in 1892, and in 1894 less than 20 per cent was con sumed here. while the figures for 1899 show a return to the conditions of 1892, the proportion of the cotton crop re- tained for home consumption in 1899 being again nearly B per cent.
 The relative importance in the home market of this single item of cotton il- lustrates the value to the farmer of a prosperous market at home for any and all of his productions.
