SUGAR BEET TALK.
The Delegates to the Fremont Con
vention Make Their Reports.
IN FAVOR OF APPROPRIATION.
Resolutions Adopted Emlortring; Congress
man Mercer's S2UO.OOO Appropria
tion Hill for the Omaha ICS
position Other Vote.
The board of trade meeting last
evening was not very largely at
tended, but notwithstanding that fact,
it was a very interesting one. Attei
reading the minutes, Secretary Gering
read a letter from Congressman
Strode, gracefully acknowledging the
reoeipt of the letter embracing the
vote of thanks passed at the former
meeting.
Hon. John A. Davies then addressed
the board relating facts hehad learnea
at the beet sugar convention held at
Fremont. Feb. f. Xo partial report ot
his speech would do it justice, but
among the points he made was that it
was clearly demonstrated that the
soil of Cass county was well adapted
to sugar beet culture, and that the
business is sure to grow. He also al
luded to the methods of culture and to
the recent invention for making
syrup and crude sugar by'evaporation.
and said heanticipatedithat this meth
od of treating the beets solved the
problem and would make it possible
for farmers of Cass county to success
fully raise beets and make a profitable
crop out of the business.
President Windham followed Mr.
Davies, and said he was only sorrj
that .00 or 600 of the farmers of Cass
county were not at the convention to
hear and learn, as the delegates had.
respecting the whole business of the
cultivation and raising of beets, and
of the manufacture of beet sugar.
With Mr. Davies, he believed the
problem of profitable culture of sugai
beets and the manufacture of beet
sugar in Nebraska was solved by the
success of the newly-invented process
of evaporating the juice of the beet
into syrup and crude sugar. Thi.
would make it possible to get tlu
beets to market that is to the refinery
at a cost for transportation so cheap
as to make beet culture profitable in
Cass and almost every county in the
state. These crude manufactories
CJUld ba erected for $30,000, while tht
cost of a large refinery was some $750,
000, and the building up of the crude
factories would cheapen sugar making
because it would enable the refiners to
run through most of the year. Ilr
wanted the farmers of Cass county to
go into sugar beet culture, and when
they did it intelligently they would
find that it wouid net them a profit oi
515 to 25 an acre, and make a new
use for the lands of the county.
He stated that the business was not
likely to be overdone, because the fact
were given which showed that it would
take the product of more than ' f00
such factories as that at Norfolk anu
Grand Island to fill the demand foi
sugar in the United States.
Mr. Windham's talk was full ol
practical facts, and was listened to
with interest.
Mr. Davies then offered the follow
ing resolution which was unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, It is proposed to hold an
international exposition at Omaha in
the year 1S96, and, believing that such
a movement is in the interest of the
whole United States, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Plattsmouth
Board of Trade heartily endorse the
efforts of Congressman Mercer to se
cure an appropriation of 8200.000 from
the national government to aid the en
terprise. Teacher' Reading Circle.

l'rngperity When Money In I'lenty.
For The Journal.
The earliest records of international
commerce is to be found in the He
brew prosperity. Where Abraham,
for example, is weighing down four
hundred shekels of silver current at
that time for the field of Ephron,
and where an abundance of gold and
silver, gathered from distant parts, of
which wo read, resulting, in the great
est of Hebrew prosperity; and the
abundance of silver which Hooded
Europe from the discovery of the
South American mines created confi
dence, hence a rise of prices. The
wages of labor would have followed in
England if they had been left free, but
they we're kept down by law to three
or four pence per day equal to six and
eight cents of our money. Californian
and Australian miners tilled the coffers
of the banks of England and Fiance,
and this increased confidence and gave
additional impulse to commerce. There
was a rise of prices and rise in wages
of laborers.
John Law, who was admitted by
France as a great financier in his day,
said that national power and wealth
consists in numbers of people and
magazines of home and foreign goods.
These depend on trade and that on
money of which a greater quantity em
ploys more people: but. credit, if the
credit have circulation, has all the bene
ficial effect of roouey;money is not the
result, but the cause of wealth. To in
crease it. then, must te beneficial.
Sou.e think a high tariff is the only
way for relief. For example, look at
Russia, with her high protective tariff;
her manufacturers find ten or twelve
millions of paupers to sell to. Can
you get blood from a turnip? There is
only two ways by which a nation may
become wealthy that does not have
gold and silver mines: That is by
commerce and conquest. America has
the mines; let her use them to the full
est extent possible, and become the
richest and most prosperous country
on the face of the globe. J reeand un
limited coinage at a ratio of Hi to
will do it, and nothing else will.

A Vermont Cariosity.
The Rutland division of the Central
Vermeil t railroad crosses tho mountain
nt Mount Holly, Summit Station being
1,440 lett above sea IeveJ. .Near that
station, when the railroad was building,
tho tusks of a largo American elephant
wcro dug up. Thcso are considered the
greatest curiosities ever found in Ver
mont and aro today, or were very re
cently, preserved in the state capital
building. In the same collection of
wonders may bo seen tho skeleton of an
immense prehistoric whale which was
found in tho town of Charlotte in 1879
while scmo excavations were being
made. The skeleton is that of a whale
at least 150 feet in length. The place
where it was found is exactly 130 feet

Found Fault With Hamlet.
There is an old, a very old, tale told
of a venerable lady, "who, after ceeinf
the play of "Hamlet" for the first time,
said, 'It is a very good play, as plays
go, but-it is made up of quotations."
Thia good dame, although Eho was
probably unaware of it, was acknowl
edging, in a roundabout way perhaps,
the indebtedness of our language to our
national bard; phrases, sentences and
sometimes whole lines from his "writ
ings have been crystallized, as it were,
into colloquial English, and there are
probably more quotations drawn from
tho -works of Shakespeare than from
thoso of any other author, ancient or
modem. Chambers' Journal.

In conversing with one'a friends noth

added that nothing is more vulgar,

she will remember to incline the body
slightly forward, an attitnde of rapt at

or not, new recruits gained for tho al
