BRYAN'S SAYINGS.

Anthracite coal is still rising,
but be patient. Republicans, the
President may get his amendment
through in four or five years, and
you ought to be willing to freeze
a little for your party's sake.
A man named Durham, equip
ped with dress suit case, 81 in
cash and lot of nerve, establish
ed a bank in Elnora, ILL.,, and was
soon able to disappear with $l0,-
600 belonging to too confding
people. Durham seems to have
anticipated the Fowler banking
law by year or two.
The money wrung from the PEG
ple by unjust taxation is loaned
by the government. without inter-
est to favored banks and the act IS
called relieving the money fam
inc" And the wonder is that
there are so many people who be-
leave it.
The directors of Northwestern
University, WHO refused to admit
a negro girl to the school are the
same Republican gentlemen who
objected to certain political doc
trines because men who profted
by Republican favors put up the
money to support the school.
If governments derive their just
their just powers from the con-
sent of the governed, then it fol-
lows that we have no more right
in the Philippines now when they
Weld a sullen submission to supe-
rior force than we had when they
we're able to stand up and defend
their inalienable rights.

RICE CULTURE A BIG THING.

Glowing reports are coming
from the Texas rice country FROM
farmers who have gone there from
this State. They say that they
are making big money raising rice
and claim it to be the most prof
liable crop grown in America; the
same machinery and practically
the same methods are used in raj
sing rice as in raising wheat. One
man can handle two hundred acres
of rice at a clear profit of $40 per
can be made by almost any kind
of a farmer. Renters clear enough
the first year to buy land the sec
ond year. Land can now be pur-
chased near Houston, Texas, from
fifteen to thirty dollars per acre,
according to improvements. II
has only been known a short time
that rice culture could be success
fully carried onsin Texas, and if
immigration continues as rapidly
as at present it will only be year
or 80 until these rice lands will be
bringing fabulous prices.
From a letter written by form
or resident of this section, now Ii
wing in the rice belt of Texas, we
take the following estimate of cost
otto. of rice growing.
This estimate is made upon the
basis of the farmer doing all the
work himself, that he can do, and
hiring done just such work as he
can not do:
