In the division article published
last wookby the Callaway Advocate
states that tbo sheriffs milage
amounts to $10,000 annually. As
the sheriff aud his deputy's salory
only amounts to $3.200 per annni
that would leave a surpus [ of $0.500
for tbo sheriff to turn into the

grand if true. But the facts are
the foes of the office do net always

surplus amount to $700.

self in the eyes of all classes of
citizens who know the facts in Mr.
Burlin's case , but shows to what
disreputable moans the leaders of
division will resort , to prejudice
the voters against their own inter

years ho has had an a filleted son , on
whom ho has spent the little that
ho had accumulated , together with
his homo , to seek reliol for that
boy. Ho took him to the hot
springs in Arkansas , and other
resorts , but no relief for the son
was found. Ho spent his all in
behalf of suffering humanity , aud
for six or eight years that boy has

much of the time has demanded his

IIRYAN'S ' IIRKAD' ' UUKN IN 1890
During the last six inontln of
] 8tfO , it will be romomuoicd how
discourging to the corn growers
was the course of the market for
orn. 1'ho Chicago Democratic
convention in July had nominated
Bryun , atul in its platform had
p ( nroii out on the btisim HH com
munity a Pandora's Box full ol
panic creating IHIIIH.
A stringency in tlio money mar
ket fallowed thin Htook to confi
dence. Neither the corn producer
himself , nor the Chicago operator
who was a "bull" on corn , could
got the nuccsuary funds for holding
it , HO they lot it go for the best
prices they could j.ot ; for it.
But the lower prices did not
stimulate the demand. Demoralizi-
tion had extended into the packing
trade and brought about panicky
prices for hogs. In the glucose ,
there wan a sudden and severe
chock , and in some lines like con
fectioner's glucose , there was almost
u total cessation of orders. The
result was that with the progress of
the Bryan boom corn worked lower
and lower.
When the Bryan boom culminat
ed in Sopombor corn had reached
the lowest record of the year at 10
oonIs a bushel. Then as the Bryan
boom began to subside and McKin-
ley's uloction to look probable tbo
price improved , and in Novem
ber , right after the election of M -
Kinluy , the best price of the last
six months of 1890 was reached , at
25 coots a bushel. Between the
low price just at the height of the
Bryan boom in September and the
high price after the election of
MoKinloy there was a difference of
of 0 ooiitf a bushel , which made a
difference of $120,006,000 in the
value of the crop.
PRICES BETTER UNDER M'ltlNLEY.
The last six months of 1899 ,
after there had been throe years of
steady improvement iu conditions
under the republican rtilo , the price
of corn at its lowest 30 cents per
bushel , was higher the high record
for the last six mouths of 1890 ;
while the highest quotation for the
last half of 1899 , at 34 cents per
bushel , was about 10 cents higher
than the high record for the last
half of 1890.
USf OK DERIVATIVE PRODUCTS.
There is no plant in the world
which serves no many useful pur
poses as corn. It is the number of
special demands incident to those
many and useful purposes tint
cause the absorption of the annual
crops of corn. In order to more
fully explain how MoKinloy pros
perity has increased the relative
value of the corn product , it is well
to review in detail the manner in
which the special demands for the
various derivative products from
corn have been increased. The
primary uses of corn are for feed
ing oattlo and hogs and for direct
human food to a limited extent ; in
the distilling industry ; in the
glucose industry.
CHEAPENING Ol' ' "CATTLE" LOANS.
The feeding of hogs and cattle
with corn , or the conversion of corn
into hog and cattle ileah , has do-
velopnd remarkably the last three
years as a feature of farming , and
it is responsible for a largo share of
the increased consumption of corn.
The individual stimulating cause
has boun the cheapening of money
duo to sound money victory ol
1890.
This has boon enabled farmos to
make loans secured by their cattle
or hogs , and by the use of such
funds to keep their corn for fooc
and for raising hogs , instead ol
selling it. Four years ago this
cattle paper was not looked on with
any favor in the oast. Now from
forty to fifty million dollars an
nually are loaned on it by eastern
brokers. The abundance of money
in the western banks seeking in
vestment has forced competition in
the placing of those cattle paper
loans until now they are taken at
throe to four par cent less than
formerly. Of course this botl
tends to increase the demand for
corn , and to render its price more
stable ; for instead of throwing corn
on the market at the harvest eoason
the farmer can now keep it on the
farm to food cattle and hogs all the
year around.
IMCMAND VOn 1100 AND CATVLE
PRODUCTS.
Trough the republican policy o
oponning the mills and of restor
ing coniUtenoo to general business
practically every workman in the
United States has become able
since iSOO , to have all the frosl
meet ho wants. The fact that the
city workman can fiord to cat more
roast beef , chops , hams , veal , outlets
lots , bacon , pork , sausages , etc
thin ho could in 1890 moans o
that there must bo more money in

RISE OF GLUCOSB INDUSTRY.
TLo glucose industry ultilizus at
> rcHont about 100,000 bushels of
lorn a clay. Althogothor over
hirty by-products are derived from
ho manufacture of corn from
jlucoHO , The glucose industry
ias made remarkable strides the
aat four years. In 1890 the last
ar of democratic rule , this
country imported from Europe
37,003 pounds of glucose , The
next year , 1890 , the first year of
) reBiilout McKmloy's admiuislra-
ion , imports are HO small that no
reports was made on thorn , but ox-
jorts were 180,901,779 pounds ,
The three primary products iu
lucoao manufacture are first : The
lutenouH meats used for feeding
o-Utle , which comes from the part
of the corn under the hull ; aud the
outer kernels which go into bran ,
chop feed , etc. , corn oil aud corn
cake , which are derived from the
germ of the corn ; third , starch ,
rom the starchy part of the grain ,
and from which glucose , sugar , etc. ,
are m de. The consumption of
ho glutenotiB meals and of bran
ias increased owning to the moro
) rosperous condition already noted
n the oattlo feeding business. The
Bruno applies to corn cakeCorn
oil goes into soaps , and is used by
tanners for droning leather. The
American eoap and leather in
dustries , as is well known , have
boon particular/ well benefited by
the jupublican policies of protec
tion and Found money. Of the
march glucose products. the
anhydrous sugars and brewers'
i''oso. etc. , used in the making of
beers and wines , have found an in
creased aomand ,
OPENING OP TEXTILE MILLS.
Other starch products , like those
used in the textile mills for sizing
purposes , in making jute bags and
duck bags and duck goods , have
experienced a sudden and enormous
demand when those mills wore re-
opennd in 1897 as a result of the
republican victory. Laundry
starches and cooking starches have
also experienced better demands ,
with people better able tc afforu
having their clothing sent to laun
dries frequently , and to eat moro
liberally of corn starch delicacies.
CANDY CIRCULATION LIKE GOLD.
From one-third to one-fourth of
the glucose starch product of last
year wont into the manufacture of
candy , according to a statement
which had been made by one of the
loading authorities in the glucose
trade. The prosperity in the candy
trade , which ia directly responsible
for such an enormous part of
last year's great consumption of
glucose , and the absorption at good
prices of a big portion of the crop
of the corn growers of the West ,
was directly duo to the general
prosperity. When the mills are
closed , and the workman can not
till his dinner pail with the necessa
ries of lifo , candy ia a luxury for
wbioh there is no demand. With
the prosperity that set in after the
election of MoKinloy , candy soon
found its was into the homes of the
workingtnon , just like gold at the
Btuuo time found its way into the
channels of money oiroulatian.
EXPANSION OK CORN'S EXPOT
REALM.
The market which almost monop
ohzes the production of American
corn is the Amoricon Market.
During the last three years , however -
over , since America has come to
load the world in the manufacture
of corn prodots , the demand for expert -
port of the products derived from
corn has been a big factor towards
decreasing the surplus of the corn
crops and of course what decreases
the surplus of corn acts directly to
increase the price.
It is one of Bryan's favorite
figures of speech to liken the farmer
to a candle being burned both ways

l > y protection and by the gold
standard. This increased reduc
tion in the corn surplus is an inter-
ibting illustration to a candle being -
ing burned both ways as a result of
republican policies in ono way by
increasing home consumption , the
other way by extending foreign
markets.
The latter has boon especially
facilitated by the ropublicn
policies ol reciprocity and of expan
sion. Wherever American corn
products are now allowed to com
plete freely with products obtained
directly or indirebtly from potatoes
add other starch bearing cereals ,
they are driving the later out.
Through reciprocity treaties n great
deal has already been aooomplishpd
by the republican party toware the
removal of foreign discriminating
duties aganist the products of the
American corn belt. Through lour
moro years of successful republican
administration of the state depart
ment , a great deal can doubtless
bo accomplished along the same
line.
line.Tho
The republican policy of expans
ion has acourod especially to the
advantages of king corn for the
warm countries whorewo have ox-
paned furnish exceptional opportui-
ties lor the pushing of the trade in
the products derived from corn.
Trade statistics have always shown
that the people of these semi-trop.
ical lands are fond of corn derived
products for food. They appear to
hanker , ' after corned beef , pork ,
bacon aud hams. They like to eat
cakes made of corn meal. Their
women dote on American candy
made from glucose. So intimately
have they come to associate their
joys of eating with the American
corn fed hog , that whenever they
desire to r.nriciittiro the American
people in their newppapor art or
literature , or in their vaudeville
drama , the most natural thing in
the world for them to think of is
the American hog.
OUB FOREIGN TRADE IN CORN ,

foreign countries were in 1800 , IH > , .

CONDITIONS THAT AFFECT CORN. h
Up to within the last four years
two circumstances related to poli- ( >
oios unfavorably affected the
market for corn. I
FIRST The closing of the Amen- *
can labor , and the panic breeding
talk of opening up the mints to"the
free coinage of silver , curtailed" j
some instances , and almost destroy
ed in others , the consumptive do- j
mand for some fifty or moro proJ- |
ducts derived from corn.
SECOND The tightness of money '
duo to the hoarding of gold , because - L
cause of the fear of free silver , |
made it next to impossible for I
either the farmer to hold corn in '
his granaries , or for the "bull" .
speculator in Chicago to hold it in \
elevators for any length of time
after it was harvested. The corn
had to bo "dumped" on the market
for spot cash as soon at , it was |
grown , and such urgent oompeti- \
tiou of aollers only increased the *
sluggishness of buyers , caused by '
the heavy slackening in the demand - .
mand for corn's derivative pro- j
ducts. '
In the year 1899 the corn crop of {
the United States was hes by 205 , ;
731,232 bushels than it was in 1890 ; ,
2,283,075,105 busholp , Despite
'his decrease of 205,731,232 bus
hels the total value of the 1800
