had been sold at Democratic prices. it
would have left you q million dollars
less than you have today.
"For oats the Democratic price was 16
cents, for barley % cents, and for potat-
oes 27 cents. and for hay $2.7O a ton.
The Republican prices gave to the farm
ers of Kansas for the crop Of oats, bar
ley, potatoes and hay In 1907 more than
15 million dollars in excess Of what they
~oul6 have received if they had sold
their crops a! Democratic prices which
prevailed all over Kansas in 1896 after
the Democrats mad run the government
for four years. You have increased the
value of your horses over what you had
in 1896 from about l6 million to 26 mill
lion dollars, five times In value what
they we're 10 those days. The same is
true of Kansas cows, oxen and other cat
tie, their present value being % million
dollars or nearly twice what it was in
1896
"Of course the argument is that this
was not due to Democratic rule, but as a
matter of fact In Harrison's administra-
tion you had no such prices. You had
them In Cleveland's administration after
the German Wilson tariff bill, and just
as soon as the Republicans came in again
and passed the Dlngley bill the prices
began to raise, you had good market,
and you have been prosperous ever since.

Lucy A. Lynn, wife of Alden L. Bailey,
died Monday evening after long sick
ness. She had been in frail health for
twenty years, suffering from bronchial
trouble and had been obliged to pass
several winters in a milder climate. A
year ago, in company with Miss Emily
Harvey, long time friend, she spent the
winter in Texas and gained strength as
she had not done in years. On the way
home she stopped in Charleston, s. c.,
and there contracted a severe cold which
greatly weakened her All summer she
suffered from weakness and in November
had an attack OF congestion of the lungs
from which she never rallied At Thanks
giving and at Christmas her condition
seemed critical but she improved a little
in January. Since February she had
been failing and only her brave battle
tor lie kept her alive so many weeks.
She came of family of soldiers, two
brothers having laid down their lives for
the Union during the Civil War, her
grandfather serving his country in the
War of 1912, and a great-grandfathe
being a soldier in the Revolutionary
army, and all through these years Of i'll
health she maintained soldierly spirit.
Joined to this brave heart was most
gentle spirit that manifested itself in
kindness to everyone. Throughout her
sickness her thoughts were always for
others, never for herself She was a
devoted home maker and that home was
always open to her friends and was often
shared for months or years at time
by relatives or homeless friends.
She was a loyal member of Grace
Methodist church and associated herself
as long as strength permitted with
every branch OF church work. She was
a very successful Sunday school teacher,
was president of the w. F. NJ. s. for
years, and was conference secretary of
the same society for long time, during
which she organized many small mis-
sonary societies in the state. She at
tended two meetings of the general ex-
ecutive committee of the W.. f NJ. s.,
one in Lincoln, Neb and one in Provi-
dence, as delegate, and on her way to
Texas attended a meeting of tnat body
at Omaha. She had also been a member
of the w. II. NJ. S. since its organization

ton of her broad, liberal mind, as she
was much interested in the W. c. T T.,
was charter member of the st. Johns.
bury Woman's Club, and was one of the
first directors of Sunset Home. Even
when sickness forced her to lay down
all these activities she still found life
beautiful and longed 10 live.
Lucy A. Lynn was born in Montpelier,
Nov. 30, 1S43, to Mr.. and Mrs. William
Lynn. The family soon moved to St.
Johnsbury Centre and there she attended
school, later becoming student at St.
Johnsbury Academy. She was a success.

Alden l.. Bailey, who survives her. with
one daughter, Mrs. James A. Impey.
She also leaves two sister, Mrs. Huntley

H. N. Turner Mrs. T. p. Farrell had

The address of the afternoon was by
Arthur F. Stone who spoke of the rela-
ton of the press to the temperance cause
and the necessity of habitual moderation,
which was the definition of temperance,
in all things. Reading, social life re-
ligious entertainments and the round of
winter amusements might all be in
dulgcd in too much and the best in life,
notably the home life, lost. In closing
the speaker spoke of the prohibition
wave which was sweeping over the
country and said it was particularly no.
ticeable that this movement was the re-
suit of an enlightened public opinion
rather than legislative action. Mrs. P. F.
Hazen rendered a beautiful solo, %
