To the Editor: The proposition offered in your Tuesday's issue by Wesley Iewis in relation to the farmers of Lincoln county organ izing" a farmers' agricultural asso ciation (or if Mr. Xewis will accept the new name of farmers institute) is a proposition that should be en couraged by the citizens of North Platte in every manner possible. Having had the pleasure ot at tending several of these institutes during the past two years, I think that for meetings where genuine, practical information was the ob ject that these institutes excel an3r thing I have" ever attended. Western Nebraska is commenc ing- to look up and forward to a better and brighter future. 'Its present residents and those who will come to our county need just such an organization effected as has been mentioned by Mr. Lewis. He should have the help and en couragement of our citizens and the press of the county, and a meeting should be called some time in February to effect such an or ganization. This -meeting should irrifrotinn hogs and other stock, cannot ' Jas. be solely a farmers' association, managed and controlled only by farmers.for if organized in any oth er way it will be a failure and farm ers will refuse to attend. A meeting of this kind where there can be an interchange of ideas, of the ways, means, methods and systems now in use in our county to successfully grow crops ot every character, either with or without of feeding" cattle or but be of great help to the agricultural interests of this portion of the state and, to North Platte. By all means Mr. Lewis should be assisted and his proposition carried to a successful issue. Mr. Lewis, although at present en- rnrfrl in f frjrli?nnr crlinnl iti rrr?fr to help out the farm, is one of our countv farmers. Who is the next to advocate this needed associa tion?, I. A.

Pearl buttons, concerning "the infamous McKinley duty of i4J per cent," on which we heard so much from our democratic friends prior to the disastrous elections of 1892 and 1894, are not perceptibly cheaper to-day than they then were. But somebody one Uncle Sam has lost something by the "tariff reform" that dealt with them. In 1892 the income collected as duty on pearl buttons was $428,048: dur ing the first ten months of 1895 it wes$241,193. In 1893 the foreigner paid $113,537 as toll tariff for selling his manufactures of shell and mother of pearl in the United States. During the first ten months of the present year he paid but $26,282. In 1893 McKinley tariff foreign makers of decorated earthenware paid $4,022,656 as cus tom duties; for the first ten months of this year they paid but $2,291,-j 444. The Canadians paid $164.792 ! as tariff on eggs m 1893, and only $78,160 in 1895, and yet eggs are neither cheaper or better now than then. In 1893 the revenue by tariff on foreign paintings was $313,015. In 1895 it has been $9,069 for the first ten months. And yet foreign works of art are not peddled-at a thirtieth part of their former price. In 1893 the revenue of duties on cotton laces, edgings, etc;, was $7,688,399; in the first ten months ot 1895 it was $5,694,481. Iu 1893 the govern ment drew a' revenue or $4,596,481 from duties on? silk dress goods, and in 1895 of but '$2,718,657; and yet many who were abl&. to -wear silk in 1893 are content with- wool and cotton in 1895. In 1893 the lux ury of velvet paid $2, 179, 961 as tariff revenue; in 1895 $371 877 was col lected from the same source. In 1893 our imports of woolen goods contributed $36,451,522 to the treas ury; during the first ten months of 1895 $20,698,265 was the sum of the" collections, and yet the woolen goods of 1893 carried a far less percentage of shoddy than those of 1895, and, quality being considered, were cheaper.

It is said that English invest ments in this country represent tour billion dollars, and this is one very strong reason why England will not want to go to war with the United States. How about Jack MacColl, of Lex ington, as a gubernatorial candi date? Did the fight tor the nomi nation two years ago put a quietus on Jack's ambition,or has his Colo rado gold mines drawn him off the track? W. S. Raker, editor of the Gretna Reporter, has been sentenced by Judge Scott, of Omaha, to one year in the penitentiary at hard labor. Last spring Raker saw fit to criti cize Judge Scott and he was arrested for criminal libel and found guilty by the jury. , One ot the great hunting feats of the year was that of George E. Farnbam of Canaan, Me.Twhoafew days ago entirely alone, and while standing in the wagon, holding his frantic horses with one hand, shot two very handsome deer. 1 t Missouri and Kansas have been having unprecedented rains the past week, and there is reason to hope that J.

President Perry of Doane colleage received fifty-one members into the Congregational church at Grafton ast Sunday, all but two on profes sions of faith, the results of a re vival meeting- conducted by Evan gelist C. S. Billings. Others are to lite next Sunday. Grafton Christians are reioicinsr over the - j ' grand results of their labors. j Sound financiers believe that busi ness is bound to. improve during" the coming- year. They cite the fact that there are no overstocks of merchandise in the factories, as there were at the beginning- ot 1893; that there are no big- lines of doubt ful credits out, as there were prior to the great national business clean-up; that business houses and banks have been running- close to shore for two years and have just about disposed of their old stocks and bad paper. There is no danger of a panic now because the country has reached business liard pan. The doubtful houses and bad assets have mostly been weeded out. If there is to be anv rhano-A ; near future it will be in an upward ! direction. Journal. Minister Bayard is in a trying- position. He will find it very diffi cult now in. tranquillizing and harmonizing both sides of the Atlantic. His speech at the actor's benevolent banquet Wednesday was a sort of sop to England and was applauded lustily by the John Bulls. "Tonight," he said, "no sea divides us." The president is said to be very offended and Grover C. may divide him so his salary will be in another man's pocket. It is whispered at Washington in a loud tone of voice that he-will be recalled; This will save impeaching him, ac cording to the old program "befoli do wall." One thing or the other ought to happen to him. Fremont Tribune. Dr. Sawyer; DcarTSIr: Baring used your Pas Ulles, I can recommend them to the public.
