WHAT NEXT?
Fremont Tribune.
The first argument used in be
half of free coinage, when the issue
was young, was the alleged pur
chase of congress by Ernest Seyd.
of .London, in 1873. They said he
came over to Washington with a
half million dollars in his grip sack
and bought the American states
man like sheep in the shambles.
That argument was good for a long
time, for it immediately created a
strong predjudice against the prop
osition that gold was the better
o
money basis and measurement
value. The orators everywhere
fanned men's passions into a flame
over the outrage, the barter and
sale of manhood. It made a strong
impression upon the plastic minds
of a people who had not yet given
the money question consideration.
It started many of Ihem in the di
rection of free coinage. But in
titnethe utter falsity pfjhe, charge
was proven by citing the fact that
Seyd never was in Washington and
that in fact he was a bimetallist
himself. Then the orators and
papers began to relax their lungs
on the proposition.
The next "argument" they re
sorted to was the wheat argument.
They said that a bushel wheat is
always worth an ounce of silver,
that this is true at all times whether
under free coinage or limited coin
age, and that as free coinage would
raise the value of silver precise
ly S1.32 an ounce this was the only
way under heaven to make wheat
worth precisely S1.32 a bushel. Re
cently silver began going down and
at the same moment wheat began
going up. The alleged ligature
which bound Chang Wheat to Eng
Silver was broken and the twins
have wandered far apart, and now
the silver advocates are filled with
grief, though they have not yet
been entirely silenced. Just as a
scotched snake's tail wriggles till
the sun goes down, so will their
vocal organs emit sound until the
sun ot their doom is set, and it is
already dipping into the western
horizon.
What their next recourse will be
remains to be seen. Since wheat
has violated their unalternate rule
perhaps they will in 1900 nominate
the boy orator once more and place
him on a platform demanding the
free and limited coinage of cabbage
and pumpkins. This will have some
advantages for, so far as we know,
it has never been tried.

The farming class of south Lin
coln county" are fast reaching the
lesson in the book ot experience
that should have been learned in
the days ot yore. Farming in the
sense of tilling the soil does not
and cannot give the farmer profit
each vear in ttself alone. But com-!
biued with the essential part of
farmers' work can produce such
profits -that hard times cannot come
any more. Such work and efforts
lie wholly in a few head of good
cows, hogs and a few dozen hens.
'FirsTfrtTie word cow doeVnot- im
ply simply a quadruped with, horns
but one of 'some good breed that
with oroDer care will give fair
A. A
profit to its owner in return.
Some of our good mathematicians
have said that with good care and
attention the increase oone cow
in ten vears will amount to one
hundred head; and this with an
original investment of about thirty
dollars. .Good breeds cost but lit
tle more than scrubs, arid pay
larger profits at less expense. The
same will apply more forcibly to
to hogs than anything else in this
line. Get as near thoroughbred
hogs as possible and then breed for
something better, instead of re-
breeding and
running
the breed
down. The Poland and Berkshire
cross for hogs has stood the test
and will forever remain at the top
of the list for money making hogs.
And last, but not least, of all the
hen outranks alitor the investment.
From seven dozen hens (Leghorns)
the owner has received almost forty
dollars since January 1st last, be
sides home consumption and the
eggs used in setting. Safe to say
forty dollars from a twenty dollar
investment for eight months. Have
our populist friends who claim
that farming does not pay ever ap
plied a few figures on small inyest
ments? If not, why not? XX

offering to.fuse on the basis of two
county offices for the democrats and
five for the pops, are entirely too
modest The democratic yoteis
just as necessary for success of fu
sion as the pop vote. Neither one
has a ghost of a show without the
other and the democrats hold the
key to the situation and ought to
demand at least an equal division.
It is said on the streets that an
attempt will be made to "pack"

TELLER'S CONFESSION.
Senator Teller the Colorado" sil

that the fall of silver caused the
fall of wheat, has been exploded,
that he never denied that the price
of wheat was regulated by the law
of supply and demand. He may not
have denied in express words this
truth, but he himselt asserted and
he allowed his silver friends to as
sert, that the low price of wheat
was the consequence of the low
price of silver, which is the same as
denying the law of supply and demand-

the false Bryan theory was preached
was convinced, that the price of
wheat depended on the quantity of
wheat on hand and on the small or
large demand for it, he could not
believe that this false doctrine of
Bryan were true, which said that
the price of wheat depended on the
price of silver, as it is clear to every
sensible person, that the demand
for wheat and the supply ot the
same could not have any possible
influence on the price of silver. The
present fact of a great rise of the
wheat price and a great fall of the
silver price have been going on.
He has more to sell than he had
a year ago, and he will get better
prices for nearly all of his products.
The farmer will get 5100,000,000
more for his wheat than last year,
$40,000,000 more for his corn, $10,
000,000 more for other grain and
$200,000,000 more for his live stock
a total of $350,000,000: The resump
tion ot industrial enterprises all
over the country has made a big
ger market for the farmer's pro
ducts and stiffened the prices, and
a shortage in the crops of other
countries offsets the effect of an
enormous increase in the crops of
this country. The season is so far
advanced that it is possible to
make reasonably reliable estimates
of the crop, and the prices used in
making the comparison are based
on actual sales in the open mar
ket. The figures show why the
American farmer, sure of handsome
returns for his products, is already
wiping out his moregage, as shown
by reports published recently.--Chicago
