The effort to tax farm mortgages, to
be made by the Farmers' arid Laborers
federation is ridiculous. The taxing of
farm mortgages would only make the
farmer, pay taxes on twice that amount,
for it would to a certainty raise the rata
of interest. Men who loan money would
en v charge a higher rate of interest to
cover the mortgage tax. If a law could
be enforced taxing incomes it would be
a sensible thing and one we would be
glad to see enacted, but there' is but little
use of attempting such a thing in Ameri
ca, l here is something very distasteful
to Americans in a set of government spies
whose duty it is to pry into every man's
private affairs, and by such a set of spies
alone could an income tax be collected.
Yet if the farmers and laborers' would
turn their attention to the nactnient and
then the eufnrcement of such a law, it
would be very beneficial to the common
wealth. But the taxing of farm mort
gages is one of the wildest schemes on
record and could only result disastrously
to the agricultural community. Then
the same convention calls in one breath
for the issue of more greenbacks and the
unlimited coinage of silver- Thi3 in the
face of the fact that millions of dollars
more are now coined annually than are
put into circulation. Inflation is not a
wise policy any more than is Contraction
of the currency . Tha debtor class may
wish a lot of cheap currency with which
to paythpir debts, but the. issue of un
united quantities of any kmdTf a circu
ating medium would not bo be politic
nor wise, u seems tue demagogues nan

- The last crop report of the department
of agriculture makes an excellent show
ing for Nebraska. The average produc
tion of corn per acre in the United States
is 29.6 bushels per acre. The state
which yields the highest is Iowa, 88.3
bushels per acreavercge yield.then comes
Nebraska, yielding 37.8, and Kansas third
on the list, 37.5. The lowest average
per acre is that of three southern states
Georgia, North Carolina and Florida,
each of which yields only 11.5 bushels
per acre. In average- yield of potatoes
per acre Nebraska leads the world, giv
ing 144 bushels, per acre, and the quality I
graded 101, as against Kansas, second in
the list in yield, 118 bushels per acre, and
the nest highest quality that of California j
graded 100. Among sorghum producing !
states Nebraska is third. This will be an
eye-opener to some of the sleepy heads
in the east who think that Nebraska is a
desert, especially as our state also takes
high rank in the production of every
other kind of farm product common to
the North.

a woman should be ns charming in mar

The whisky tax will not be touched in

Iron rails were first used in railway
construction at Whitehaven, England, in
1738, but it was not until 1786 that they
came into- general use, and this was in
consequence of the low price of pig iron.
Previously the rails were constructed of
wood and horses were the motive power.

In a recent article in the
minion, on "How to cure
Yovth'i Com
a cold," the
writer advises a hot lemonade to be taken
at bedtime. It is a dangerous treatment,
especially during the severe cold weather
of the winter months, as it opens the
pores of the skin and leaves the system
in such condition that another and much
more severe cold is contracted. Many
years constant use and the experience of
thousands of persons of all age's, has fully
demonstrated that there is nothing better
for a severe cold than Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. It acts in perfect
harmony with nature, relieves the lungs,
liquefies the tough tenacious mucus'
making it easier to expectorate, and
restores the system to a strong and
healthy condition . Fifty cent bottles for
