Drawing Trade.
Addison T. Smith,
Secretary.

The News desires once more to call
attention to the necessity OF good
roads as an element in the drawing Of
trade to Troy. And Troy merchants,
regardless of what they think about
politics or religion, must agree on this
one thing. We must make every road
leading into Troy good road. We
must make it possible for the farmers
OF this section to get into Troy at all
times OF the year. We must not get
the idea that somehow OF other we can
allow this matter to drag along, and
that trade will come here, roads or no
roads. 1t wont do it. With new
towns springing up north of us it is
time to wake up. 1t is important that
we get busy. The News suggests the
organization OF an active commercial
club, with real live committee TO
look after all matters of importance
concerning our roads. That we do
this now and not only keep what bust
ness we have but go out after more.

What would you think if he should not

THE PARTY LIED.

Just remember that not one OF the
charges made by the Troy News
against the republican party has been
denied by the republican press Of this
state. We have said that the republi-
can party lied to the people. 1t has
not been denied. We have charged
the republican party with reputation
and that charge has not been denied.
We have said that the last republican
legislature deceived the people and no
republican paper, nor no republican
politician in all the state has disputed
the charge. We have repeated these
charges over and over. Other papers,
some republican and some democratic,
throughout the state, have republished
these articles, and have gone before
thousands OF citizens in every section
Of the state without a denial. Why? Be-
cause the Troy News, itself republi
can paper, has not lied. We have
stated facts, substantiated by the rec
ords OF the party and the history OF the
state, and they cannot be disproven.
If, then, The News has not mis-stated
facts, what are you going to do about
it2 You are republican. You be-
lieve in republican principles. and
must believe in honest government.
You cannot approve the record of re-
publican perfdy and party dishonor.
You certainly are not ready TO go to
the polls and cast your vote for the
same republicans who less than two
years ago wrote the record Of which
you and every other decent citizens
of this state ought to be ashamed.
What is your duty? Plainly and en-
phatically refuse to support the repub-
lican machine. Absolutely refuse to
endorse those whom the republican
politicians may see fit to nominate and
force upon you. Either have some
thing to say as to who shall be the
party nominees or let those who fix up
the slate and manipulate the party ma
chine do their own voting. This is
the only way in all the world that Ida
no can ever have decent government.
1t is the only way the people can ever
have just law, or get honest, fair treat
ment. 1t is the only way we can ever
put the political rascal out of business,
and compel our public official to live
up to their pledges to the people.
Let US make our public officials our
servants, not our masters. When they
lie or betray US let US defeat them.
When the political boss shows his head
let us vote him and his slate into OBJ
livion. Let the people, not the politi-
clans, run the government.

The House of Representatives have
passed bill putting In God We
Trust back on gold and silver coins.
How this makes a dollar worth any
more, or will make any citizen of this
country one whit better or worse a lot
OF us can't understand. This motto
on coin, measure of value and a med
ium OF exchange, adds nothing to re-
ligion, except to bring religion into
contempt. In the first place the
motto, is as Congressman Gordon of
Tennessee remarked, "farcical hypoc-
ricy." The motto,if stamped alone on
a silver dollar, would pass among the
most devout Christians for only its bull
lion value Of SIS cents. The Christians
would not think of taking it one cent
above par. The motto In God We
Trust" would mean nothing for money
purposes to anyone or to any class.
And when one considers money, its
uses and purposes, and the ends its
serve, there is certainly an abundance
OF argument in favor Of leaving it off.
Roosevelt is religious man, with a
high and noble conception of religion,
and his order in removing the motto
was in no respect disrespect to the
Almighty.

The republican central committee,
at its meeting last week, decided to
put no ticket in the field till a late date.
We don't blame them. With the re-
publican record of falsehood, perfdy,
reputation and dishonor, there is no
one who will blame the boys for being
in hurry to get through.

CHICAGO GRAIN

Especial service to The Herald by j. c. VIII
son. member Chicago Board of Trade, Hotei
Alexandria, Los Angeles).
CHICAGO. Oct 3O.--News from the Argentine
was the one absorbing topic today In wheat
There seems but little doubt but that damage
has ensued, the only question to be settled ls
as to the extent. Todays claims were even
more radical than yesterdays, some Oh them
from people Of established reputation, others
from sources not widely known. the most
radical claim today was cable from New
York coffee house, quoting receipt OF caple
from Buenos Ayres, In which the sender esu-
mated the northern and western wheat crops
damaged at so per cent. A local commission
house received a cable estimating damage at
80 per cent, while another local commission
house which had the same representative III
the Argentina for a good many years, received
a cable from him this morning estimating ex-
portable surplus at 93,0O0,0OO bushels, Wnlcn
would be in the neighborhood of 30, 00000 bush
els less than this years shipments, as that
country has already in the current year shipped
1876, 900 bushels with two months yet 10
come. We are greatly impressed with the UNI
formity Of the cables coming from the ArgefT
tine, and without very prompt contradictory
reports we look to see this motive suHlciently
strong to lift our market to higher Levels.
Corn has been a dull draggy market espe-
cially when one considers the strength in the
wheat and oat market. Weather all that can
be desired. Speculation has deserted this mar
ket almost to great an extent as oats. IL
looks like dull market until We get INTO the
crop moving period.
oats have been second only to wheat in
strength today. The motive being the decline
In primary arrivals. When any little demand
for oats springs up in the pit 1t Is difficult to
prevent an upturn as there is so little specu-
lation that 1t affords no opposition to buying
operations, while the other hand the few
sealpers who make their home in the oats pit
at ali times are scalping the bull side
Provisions were lower at outset on heavy run
OF hogs west but have rallied since on cover
ing by shorts and on buying by new investors
selling higher than at close yesterday.

NEW YORK STOCK

pun,s Review

NEW YORK, Oct. s0.@Dun's review Of
trade tomorrow will say
Decided Improvement is noted in most trade
reports this week, especially in respect to dis
tributive departments. Orders have come to
manufacturers more freely, In many cases ac-
companied by requests for immediate or very
early delivery. Evidences of increased con-
hdence are numerous and prices are more
q, 1nly held where concessions have been Of
fered recently without attracting buyers. Many
mills have resumed after months Of idleness,
sufficient orders having accumulated to assure
active capacity during the remainder Of the
year and there Is a general belief that con-
tracts have been placed freely during the
next two months. Recent concessions in the
hacker hide market together with better in
oury' for leather have brought the tanners to
western centers where they operate more
freely.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC TO RUN
UNIVERSITY ON WHEELS

Under the direction OF it's traffic de-
partment, the Southern Pacific company
has decided to begin the operation OF
free agricultural and horticultural in
struction trains throughout the state,
with the cooperation of the University
of California, Stamford university, the
department of agriculture and the state
horticultural commission.
This special train will carry lecture
car and living cars in order that stops
of one or two hours may be held at
various points during the day.
In Washington, Nebraska and other
states these trains are operated with
the assistance of the university and
government officials, and the idea has
proved successful in improving the
quality end quantity of crops.
Officials say that this is especially
good for the small farmer, who in this
manner can receive expert information
from scientists who otherwise could not
find time to examine as many different
localities in the state as he might de-
sire,
