If you are going to feed corn fodder this winter, don't bother about haul ing it this fall and stacking It. Too can put your time Into better advan tage and the fodder will keep Just as r-il la the shock and can be hauled to the feed racks wbea wanted, oa sled or wagoa. saving one handling. r The coru crop of the United States, according to a report Just printed In the Ameriran Agriculturist, approxi mates 2J2C0 million bushels, a little larger than a year ago, but not quite equal to the largest crop oa record. The quality is generally good and this enormous tonnage means greatly added farm wealth. Stocks of old corn are much reduced and there will be a good outlet for the new crop. Life stock prices are not especially high, yet of a character to encourage liberal feeding of cattle, hogs and iheep the coming winter. In small grains the markets have ben Inclined to lag. Wheat has had very liftie genuine support and many weak spots. The world s visible sup ply is fairly libera! and there has been raore talk of a probable large shipping surplus la Argentina; but this is by no means assured, as harvest does not occur until December. Should wheat prices prove attractive to Cour manu facturers, the output of millfeeds would Increase, a favorable item for buyers ia the heavy dairy sections of New York, northeast Wisconsin, etc. The markets for oats, rye and barley hare ben devoid of special feature, the last named showing more strength than the others. Through demand from tfce shorts. Cat seed advanced sharply to I LSI per bushel at Chicago. Should this price hold through the winter, something not at all certain, the acreage next year would be enormous." Farmers are sending to market a rood many immature hogs, and this has brought down the average weight. This is no doubt due partly to the high country price cf eora, coupled with the fact that hogs are selling 0Q&Oc per K pounds higher than a year ago, an 2 very well for the beginning of the winter packing season. Total farm ers deliveries cf hogs this year to date have been liberal, but the pack ing demand alo sharp, owing to the rapid consumption os both domestic and foreign account. Compare present prices with November quotations a year ago. around 35JI.O0 pr 100 pounds at Chicago; two years ago, 3.W: ia 137. 3.0. and la U, $2.2$. The belief prevails and is well taken, that farmers are paying too much for stork estti. These have showa no such decline compared with a year ago, as Is the case with fat beeves. At the same time, corn Is high ana it re quires very Judicious buying and feed leg to show a profit. Feeding will be heavy, however. In all the big corn states, Eeef cattle are a little lower thas year ago. bat higher than ia November cf 1M, 1S37 or A liberal crop f potatoes has beea harvested, estimated by the American Agriculturist at 233 million bushels against 2 13 one year ago. 204 ia 1S5S 174 la US7. 245 la lf-M and 26 millions ia XiSS, which was the biggest crop oa record- la the central and middle stales as a whole a fairly good crop has. beea secured.

Farmers as a rule are Inclined to sell ilrt from the field, although mac ars planning to store and hold. Hex Joha W, Fpringsr, president of the National Live Stock exposition, was in Chicago today, and tn speaking relative to the International Live Stock Exposition he said: 1 "There is no reason to doubt that the exposition will be the largest breeding and fat stock show ever held In the? world. In point of entries there has nothing gone before that will compare with it, and If only half of the people come who have signified their intention of doing so, ia point of attendance it will be the largest crowd that ever visited a fat stock show. "The pivot around which hinges the matter of most interest to the south ern and northern range men Is the fact that range cattle exhibited In car loads will be one of the most attrac tive features of the exposition. Noth ing In the Ilae of districting live stock by sections has ever been attempted, and the action of the management is highly Appreciated by the range people generally. Each section will be repre sented by some of the best herds in the United States, and will vie with, one another In presenting the claims of their section to the feeders of this country. "The northern buyer of southern cattle Is coming to this exposition In th capacity of juror in his own Inter est. The grower from the south will be here In a similar capacity for his interest, and when the judgment Is rendered these people will then have a great time comparing their own Judg ment on stock, and so many of them being brought together undoubtedly larger trades will be consummated at this exposition than any live stock meeting of the year. In fact, no such opportunity has ever before been af forded northern and southern men to buy and sell by sample as this will give them, and they are all going to be here and see this show." The Southwestern Passenger bureau has granted a rate of one fare plus 2 for the exposition and it is likely that other associations will take like actions. McKinley's Wail Election day was coming fast. When through the towts and country passed Mark Hanna's man, nailed to the mast He bore aloft this one device: "Prosperity." With pallled brow and anxious eye He scans the dark and low'ring sky, Sees clouds of popular wrath draw nigh "Avert the storm, send forth the cry:" "Prosperity." "Stay. Wellington, stay," McKlnley said, "Fain 'pon your breast, I'd rest my head" But swift came Wellington's reply: "I trust no man who tells a He." "Plain duty- "Imperiallsts way try not" said Hoar, "Republics doom forever more, Broad chasms deep the two divide;" But loud the Major's voice replied: "Prosperity." By happy homes once fair and bright, Desolate now by war's sad blight, Wars of conquest In spite of right. Passing he shouts through all the night: "Prosperity." "Where are our husbands?" widows moan, Mothers for sons must weep alone; "Where soldiers brave on East Isles strowa?" McKinley answers with a groan: "Prosperity." "Henchman! go forth with all your zeal, However suifers public weal; Hew much though Rathbone, Neely steal. Ho! every office-holder squeal: "Prosperity." And so-called democrats, for gold, Would enter the republican fold; "Hanna! we will our cause betray, Damn our party and shout for pay: "Prosperity." Bondholders, trust, combines exclaim, With open mouths and might and main They pay street bums to do the same. Who haven't a penny to their name Shout "Prosperity." But doom Is writ upon the wall, November sixth will see his fall. Burled hell be in grave so deep. Twill he his last, eternal sleep "Requlescat." The people on him sentence passed, "Who killed W'illiam?" Hanna asked; From out the heights, serene and far, A voice fell like a falling star: "The Independent voter." The president In nineteen one Will be Nebraska's favored son; He'll write above the White house door: "Mark Hanna wanted here no more. "William Jennings Bryan." W. B. LENOIR. Sweetwater, Term. Rosewater's Plain Words Mr. Rosewater ia a signed editorial in the Omaha Bee has given to the public a concise statement of his views upon public questions. Whatever may be said against Mr. Rosewater by his enemies the fact remains that he has one cardinal virtue that is lacking in most politicians or candidates for pub lic favor. He has the frankness and honesty to boldly declare his position on any public question. He is not a political coward not a demagogue. He is the only republican or prominence who has dared to appear in joint de bate before the people in defense of the republican policies. In his debates he showed a willingness to defend all the policies of the present administra tion that it was possible to defend and la contrast to other republican orators showed a willingness to talk issues other than the full dinner paiL In his address to voters Mr. Rosewater shows his moral courage again by declaring la favor of several reforms advocated by the people's party notwithstanding the republican party has always op- posed them. Mr. Rosewater's address it mm. fnllrw "For more than a quarter of a cen- J tury I have advocated the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people. All efforts to secure this right for the people by amendment of the constitution, however, have failed lip to this time. The nearest approach to popular selection of United States senators has been made in this state, where the people have a right nnder the stabs constitution to Instruct their representatives In the legislature by an expression of preference at the bal lot box. l "In proof of my sincerity as an advo cate of the direct popular election of senators I have appealed for an ex pression of public sentiment under the constitutional provision ny having my name placed cn the official ballot at the coming election. While standing upon the declarations of the republi can party In its national platform, I am committed also to certain reforms which in my judgment are demanded in the interest of the American people. "I am in favor of the establishment of postal savings banks in which the earnings of the people will be safely, guarded through panic and depression. "I am in favor of the postal tele graph and the widest extension of pos tal facilities to the people. "I believe that corporations are crea tures of the state that should be reg ulated and controlled by the state. While I favor public supervision of corporations, I am by no means in fav or of confiscating their property, eith er by prescribing ruinous rates or ex cessive taxation. In other words, I favor such legislation as will protect the people against extortion and dis crimination by corporate monopolies, but at the same time am opposed to any legislation that would prevent them from earning fair Interest on honest investment. "My career in Nebraska, which cov ers a period of thirty-seven years, is a sufficient guaranty that ir elected to the United States senate I shall labor with all my ability and energy to pro mote the welfare and material pros perity of the state and nation andj shall always hold myself accessible to every citizen who has a claim upon my services or time, no matter how humble or poor. "E. ROSEWATER." Railroad Men Is He Your Friend? Extract from Wm. J. Bryan's speech in congress February 21, 1893, in re gard to the bill to compel railroad companies to equip their cars "with improved couplers. Mr. Bryan spoke as follows: "I for one am willing to stay here till this session ends, because I think this bill should be passed. I believe It is dictated by humanity, and I am not willing, if I can prevent it, that these men shall be killed and maimed just because some of the railroads in sist that they cannot afford to put these couplers on their cars. The only objection that I have heara made, the only real one, in that letter of Mr. Haines found on our desks this morn in, is that it would cost f 75 a car, or $75,000,000. "Some 23,000 persons have been in jured. Those of us who have asso ciated with these men know that there is scarcely one of them employed for any length of time In railroading who does not have a hand off, or foot off, or is not maimed in some way. and we have had produced here proof of the startling number killed. Now. I ask, Mr. Speaker, does it not appeal to us, who are members of the only Doay wnicn can give this relief, be cause the states are powerless does it not appeal to us and to our human ity to pass such laws as will give pro tection to the lives and limbs of these men? "I ask, Mr. Speaker, how can we measure the value of human life? How can you say that $75,000,000 ex pended in equipping cars outweighs 2,000 killed and 22,000 maimed? We may talk this way about the lives of others; but what if these people were our sons or our brothers? I ask any of these gentlemen what price he would set on the life or security of a relative? And how dare we hold at a trifling price the lives and welfare of those not kin to us, while we hold as a priceless boon the lives and welfare of those to whom we are related by Diooa 7 "I appeal, Mr. Speaker, to those who are in favor of this bill to stand by our rights here as a majority and protect the lives of those who plead to us for protection." (Applause.) Extract from democratic platform which Mr. Bryan pledges himself to carry out: "We are opposed to government by injunction, we denounce the blacklist, and favor arbitration as a means of settling disputes between corpora tions and their employes."
