WE HAVE THE DOLLAR NOW.

in a few days following the monetary
crisis of 1907 we drew twenty-five mil
lions of gold from Europe, and sharp
advances in European discount rates
did not at once check the movement.
Our need of gold was, in fact, much
more urgent fourteen years ago; but
we couldn't get the metal. We simply
did not have the financial power to
command it.
We have that power now. and the
fact gives, in a nutshell. the difference
between the two periods.
In 1893 we could give no conclusive

BAD DOPE
STATE PURE FOOD COMMISSION
Err AND STATE CHEMIST WILL
TAKE UP POOR WHISKY.
Starting in This Week on Another
Campaign for the eetterment OF
the Conditions in Wyoming-Pure
Food Law Has Been Made to 6ene-
fit Consumers of Foodstuffs.

State Pure Food Commissioner
Burke Is in the city today and gave
a reporter an interesting interview In
regard to the pure food law and its
enforcement in this state, says the
Cheyenne Tribune.
The grocers of the state have as a
rule been very quick to cooperate In
the movement to get a better grade OF
goods on the shelves of stores In Wyo-
ming, particularly when they learned
that the goods, which were under stan
dard could be shipped back to tht
jobber and credit obtained for the stuff
sent back. In this way the inspection
of the stocks and the condemnation of
impure goods cost the merchant only
the loss incurred by keeping his money
tied up for q while in these goods.
Better Grade of Goods.
"All ove Wyoming, even in the lit
tie road ranch stores, there is a higher
grade of all kinds of foodstuffs now
kept in stock and there is no doubt
but that the health of the people will
be better for it.
'Mr. Knight, the state chemist and
myself will begin this week on another
campaign in which we are expecting
a good deal of opposition in some
quarters, although We are SURE that
the Wyoming law is strong enough tc
back us up. That is the inspection
Of the stuff sold as wine and whisky
in many parts of the state.
Much Poor Whisky.
There is an enormous consumption
of imitation whisky which is made OF
spirits, prune juice, f~lavoring matter
and sugar. This, according to the
United States law, is labeled 'Imita
ton Whisky on the barrel, but when
taken from the barrel by the whole
saler or retailer is bottled with a label
indicating that the contents is pure
whisky.
I'm mining camps, where there Is 9
large foreign population, a wine is sold
which is no better. We shall make a
large number of tests and shall insist
that whisky and all other liquors be
honestly labeled.
IF men can stand to drink wood
alcohol, as was found in Denver, we
can't prevent them, but we don't pro
pose to have such stuff sold under the
label Fine Old Pure Kentucky Bour

THE PROSPEROUS FARMER.

The annual report of the secretary Of
agriculture shows that the value OF the
crops of 1907 is greater thar tina for
any previous year in the history OF
American farming. The figures are
hard to appreciate. because the total
amount is so large. The statement
that the crops will yield the farmers
of the country seven and a half bill
lions of dollars is better understood
when some comparisons are made.
The secretary furnishes these conf
parsons. Taking corn. for example,
and indicating the value OF the crop If
this year to be larger than that nj
1906, he says that with he money
gained from eight crops like the one
of 1907 it would be possible to dupli-
cate every mile of steam railroad IN
the country, paying for all railroad
property. terminals, rolling stock, and
everything else connected with the
service. AS four-ffths of the corn OF
the world is produced in the United
States there is interest in the state
ment that seventeen years of corn
crops like the one of this season would
replace the banking power of the
world, banking CAPITAL, surplus. depos-
its, and circulation.
The order of the crops from the
standpoint of value will surprise many.

wheat. Dairy products are shown to
be more valuable than any crop except

about half of the amount received from
the live stock sold from the farms.

The impression in this end of the
state is that both the Tribune and Re-
publican are fayerably disposed toward
the nomination Of Taft. Even the
shouting for Roosevelt is understood
to nothing more nor less than a
boost Tor the secretary. Can't make
