PURCHASING POWER OF CORN.
A large part Of one Of Congressman
Cousins recent political addresses was
devoted to comparison Of conditions
before and since the placing Of the
Dingley law on the statute books. In
the course Of his remarks Mt Cousins
directed attention to the uniformity in
the increased purchasing power OF farm
products. BY way OF illustrating the
increased purchasing power OF corn Mr..
Cousins related the following:
II heard Of an instance where a
farmer in 1896 desired to purchase q
wagon. Having selected the one he
wanted, he asked the dealer what 1t
would cost. Fifty dollars, replied the
dealer. The farmer said that money
was very scarce and wanted to know
market price. The implement dealer
replied that he would and that 1t
would require 1913 1-3 bushels OF corn,
the market price being fifteen cents a
bushel then IN this part of the state.
Recently neighbor Of that farmer
went to the same implement dealer to
purchase a wagon, and he wanted the
same kind that his nefghbor had pur-
chased in 1896. The implement dealer
told him the wagon would cost $50.
WELL" said the farmer. that shows
what they say. the trusts are eating us
up. My neighbor bought his wagon
in '96 for $50; now you want $50 for
the same kind OF wagon" The
dealer replied: "Your neighbor brought
me 333 1-s bushels Of corn in '96 for
his wagon. II you will bring me ex-
actly the same that he did, will give
you three OF the same kind of wagons,
or IL you do not need that many wag-
ons you can have one OF the same kind
he got. very much improved in recent
years, and I will give you additional
the best mower In the house, and in
order to relieve your mind of the idea
that you are getting the worst OF 1t,
will throw in a good hay rake. yes,
and you may have that sulky pillow.
Now, let me figure up. Your 333 1-3
bushels OF corn is worth $1S3.35. The
sale price of the wagon is $50, Of the
mower $45, OF the hay rake SIS, OF the
corn shelter. 81, and OF the sulky pillow
s31.35. which makes 3161.35. and for
fear YOU might still think that repub-
lican times are eating you up will

It is no small thing in his favor that
the farmer never has to sell his produce
on tick or keep book accounts or dun

gets the cash for all he has to sell,
while the merchant has to charge things

amounts to as much as his capital
stock.

On August 23d and 24th the forti-
eth anniversary OF the terrible
Sioux Indian uprising of 1852 will
be observed by big celebration at
New Ulm. The selection of that
city as the point at which to hold
the important exercises is very ap-
propriate, as it was the town which
suffered most severely from the
depredations of the savage red men.
Around it the memories of those
troublous times Still cluster and as
sociate with it are all the incidents
of the conflict which we're fought
and won.
Forty years have elapsed since
the massacre and now the citizens
of New Ulm will celebrate the tri-
umph with monster jubilee. Elab-
crate preparations have been made
for the affair aud it will be conduct

Then swift q awful answer came
In clouds of smoke and sheets of fame
The Sioux, in fury of blood-desire,
Cheated Of carnage, went wild in fire,
Shocking the heavens with whoop and yell
Like such as resound in the farthest hell.
On the wind Jean Mauley could hear it
well.
Did he falter or vince: Did his face go
pale?
All, no, for he knew not the name of fail
He knew the nerve in his arm was sure
AS the nerve should be of a voyager
Graded and bred in the BonseCours.
He doubled his stroke and tull as fast
AS ever canoe went swimming past
He made the hazel-brush at last;
Then, over the ripping Waterford
Safely he ferried his other load.
But now ten men were at the rope
And, though the tiendish yells grew near,
Ten pairs of hands made naught of fear
And quickly gained the refuge slope
All, what is that. A long halloo

And, turned. he saw upon the steep
Two fugitives: single leap
And ne had lightly quit the shore
And pushed mis- ferry OF once more.
