EASTERN DEMAND For MONEY.

The decision of Secretary of Treasury
Gage to buy bonds and thus relieve the
tension on the money market in New
York is in harmony with good policy.
The depletion of the surplus in our
great monetary center is said to be
caused by the demand for funds to
move crops. Such depletion always
awakens apprehension, whether war;
ranted or not. An appeal was made to
Secretary Gage, with the result above
given. The government is fortunately
in a position to relieve the market and
at the same time reduce its own debt
with the surplus on hand Generally
speaking, it may not be good policy to
rely upon the government to relieve
business distress by particular action in
isolated cases, but it is not inharmoni-
Gus with our theory of the government.
If it 10 a government of the people and
for the people it ought to act within the
scope of law in their interest. 1t has
acted along similar lines heretofore
with good effect, and without serious
infringement of political or economic
policy or injury in any direction.
Not only will the secretary sell bonds,
but he will deposit government revenue
receipts in the banks, taking govern
ment bonds for security.
The present eastern stringency does
not indicate that there is scarcity of
money in the country. 1t does show,
however, that the great expansion of
business Is such as to absorb it, and
that government receipts at present are
SO much greater than expenditures that
money piles up in the national treasury
where it is of little use only az a showing

MontezuH,a. Sept. 12.-People in gen

have been so long accustomed to.iget

curing home grown peaches of fine
quality has not occurred to many. How
ever. in southern Iowa and in Missouri.
recent years have shown that a good
peach can be cultivated with a fair
prospect of profitable returns.
Some years ago DR.. j. /. Bailey (some
say Middleton) brought some peach
seeds of Iowa from Ohio and success
fully cultivated and raised quite a
number of crops of peaches near West
Branch. Ia. Seed from DR.. Bailye,s
orchard has been planted in many parts
of central Iowa and il this season SIS
anything of a true test of Iowa peach
culture, then we may expect many more
orchards of peaches to be put out within
a few years.
AS near as can be learned, the or
chard of a Mr.. Lewis, just north of
Nassau in Poweshiek county, is from
the variety of peach above referred ia
and altho the hard winters of '9S and '99
killed some of the trees, he now has
several acres of thrifty trees which
promise good yield this month.
Another orchard with which we are
somewhat more familiar is that of John
Moler near Montezuma. This is a ,oune
orchard of over 100 trees. They are also

ing about peaches worth bothering
with. But last year this new orchard
afforded big load of nice. rosy, free
stone peaches which caused some very
favorable comment. 1t may be said
that garden truck was raised between
the rows of trees last year-thus iivid-
ing the nutriment of the soil between
peaches and potatoes. This year no
garden truck was permitted in the
peach orchard but the ground was
disced and narrowed several times. In
this way the ground was kept quite
free of weeds and the soil was kept nice
ard loose; more moisture being alb.
sorbed thereby and the trees had all
the benefit. And they certainly have a
tempting appearance loaded as they are
with ripening fruit. The trees are not
large ones but estimates OF this years
yield are placed at from 100 to 800 bu-
shells.

A DEMOCRATIC SCRAP.


lively little scrap has developed be-
tween the Dubuque Telegraph (silver
dem) and the Davenport Democrat
dnd. dem.) as result of the shooting
of the president. In moralizing over the
cause of the dastardly assault the
Democrat was led to look into the POI
Gus thrust at calamity agitation that
awakened the ire of its contemporary
1t said in part:
And while the sad spectacle is most
impressive because fresh in mind we
may properly look at another matter,
and that is the work that has been
done by certain class Of politicians
and stump speakers, during the past
few years, in fitting the ignorant, the
rash, and the reckless man to enter
tain disrespect and eventual hatred for
the institutions and the traditions of
this government, and nerving him to do
desperate work in overthrowing them.
With utter disregard of facts that We're
open to the day, the Office of president,
and the man in the office, and all the
factors of the government beneath
them have been assailed fer the past
six years with a malignity of aspersion
that has been unparalleled in this coun-
try in time of peace. Not merely has

set the west against the east, in a di-
vision of sentiment as acute as that
which once separated the north and the
south, but the most shameless charges
with men plotting the overthrow of the
republic and the erection of the empire,
and with vampires seeking by every
foul means the wrecking of the finan-
cial and commercial institutions of the
country and the outright enslavement
of it's citizens have been charged upon
the president of the United States.

c. G. Turner, president of the board

AVERAGE AND BETTER FARMING.

A practical farmer writing in the
Iowa Homestead notices that this is a
big country, but that most of us fail to
realize it, and that so far as agriculture
is concerned it does not need more land
open to settlement but large crops on
the land we have. This latter is true. as
any one may learn by careful survey
and study of land in his own immediate
section. The Homestead writer says
further:
To look at the government average of
our crops drives the good farmer almost
TO distraction when he contemplates
that there are such poor husbandmen
engaged in agriculture. Few Of US
know the limit of possible productive
ness of our farm, for, no matter how
heavy the yield has been, it is possible
to increase it little more. Avera sc
farming does not pay. The average
farmer may be able to make living
(some fail to do even tflis). but a mere
living should not satisfy the man of will
and Industry. Better farming does not
always mean more work, but better
application to it" His declaration that
average farming does not pay indi-

ley's life" 1t declares that nothing
more vindictive, false and libellous''
could be printed. In further reply the
Telegraph says:
1T is fully answered when the facts
familiar to all, are stated that the as
sault upon the president is as deeply
and cordially regretted and as bitterly
resented by the citizens who voted fol
Mr.. Bryan as by those who voted fol
Mr.. Mckinley, and that by the assas-
sins own confession he was remotely
impelled to the commission of his
treacherous and dastardly deed by the
study of anarchistic literature and i'm
mediatey impelled by speech by EN-
ma Goldman, priestess and fiery prop
agandist of the anarchist cult
The Telegraph's last statement will
be generally admitted as true. Not only
mendable spirit, has denounced the
shooting and the anarchists with un-
sparing words.
Yet, while this may be true, the Dem
ocrat is right in saying such calamity
politics as the democratic party has re-

of the president has himself been fed
