Rob Peter To Pay Paul.

The railroads of the Mississip-
pi Valley have raised or are pre-
pairing TO raise the rate on coal.
The raise, we believe, at Unicp
City, is l5c per ton. The people
are opposed to this increase and
the matter will, at an early date,
be brought before the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The only
excuse that the railroads offer
for increased prices is that their
employees rob them and they in
turn are forced TO rob the peo-

The Fur Will Fly.

With six entrants the Demo
cratic race for governor is now
believed fully made up and the
fur is expected TO fly from now
until the August primary. II has
been many years since there
were as many Democratic eandi-
dates seeking the gubernatiOnal
nomination and there appears 20
be every reason to believe that
each of the sextet will run the
race out. The individual aspir-

Not The Administration.

The price of wheat, corn, cot
ton and other farm products IS
controlled by supply and demand
No administration whether Dem
oerat or Republican, was ever re-
sponsible for the low or high
price of any farm product. The
average price of cotton under
Cleveland's administration n
1885 was ga cents; 1856, III
cents; 1857, 10 cents; lsSs, lO.7
cents. Cleveland was president
from 1885 to 1883. Harrison be
came president in 1889, succeed
ing Cleveland. In Harrison S ad
ministration the average price OF
cotton was as follows: 1889, ii
cents; 1890, s cents; 1891,
cents. and 1892, s cents, leaving
off the fractions. In Mckinley Z
administration the average pric,
of cotton was as follows; 1897, OF
cents; 1898, 40 cents; and 1889
7.6 cents. The lowest price eveI
paid for cotton in this country
was during McKinley's admins
tration.' These figures and date
show no political party can be
blamed for the low price of cottoI
or any other farm product.
