EDITORIAL COfIMHNT.
Figures recently brought to the
surface with reference to our ex
port trade to China and Japan
show that there has been an in
crease of more than 100 per cent,
in our sales to those two countries
during the pasl year, a very large
proportion of it coming from the
South.
Populists, individually and in
conventions all over the country,
are rejecting the fusion proposition
which Chairman Butler and the
other chairman with whom he is
co-operating for selfish purposes
proposed in their joint addresses
two weeks ago. Butler comes to
the front now with a statement
that he is not favoring fusion, but
"fair and honorable co-operation."
Everybody knows, however, that
he openly worked against the
Populists' tickets in Ohio, lowa,
Kentucky, and elsewhere, and for
Democratic success last year, and
is working to the same end again.
Foreign manufacturers continue
to invest money in manufacturing
establishments in the I nited States,
now that they have investigated
the Dingley protective tariff law.
A new silk mill at South Bethle
hem, I'a.. another at Patterson, X.
a dress goods plant at Athenia,
N. ■!.. a velveteen mill at Mystic,
(!onn., and oilier establishments of
this character in which foreign
capital will give employment to
American workmen, are announced
as among the business develop
ments since the enactment of the
new tariff law, and others are to
follow.
The Minnesota Populists do not
take kindly to the fusion proposi
tion which a lew office holders in
Washington cooked up to insure
their own re-election. The gentle
men who visited them the other
day to promote fusion were coldly
received, and the committee called
ajueeting of a State convention for
.June 15, the chairman in issuing
the call for the Convention giving
no approval of fusion, but an
nouncing that it was the sense of
the committee that the integrity of
the People's party should be pre
served.
The one member of the People's
Party National Committee l'rom
Indiana who held that the People's
party could do greatest service to
the people by sinking its individu
ality in the Democratic party has
been deposed and in his place a
Populist elected who believes that
the People's party has a mission it
can only lill by living. Indiana's
three representatives on the Na
tional Committee of the People's
party are all opposed to fusion, and
this sentiment is rapidly gaining !
ground among Populists in all
parts of the country.
The Xew York "Commercial," j
a financial publication, sustains the
assertion made in these columns
that the sugar trust gained no
permanent advantage through the
enactment of the Dingley law, by
saying in a recent issue, that:
"Refiners who know the profits of
the business, and who had been
long on stock for years, and sold it,
do not dream of buying it back."
Considering thai tbis statement is
made when sugar trust stock has
fallen l'rom Kioto 120, it is appar
ent that those most familiar with
the real facts of the ease do not
consider that the trust occupies an
advantageous position under the
new law.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, March. 22, 1898.
Silver continues to fall aiul farm
j products continue to rise. Tim
latest number of Bradstreets', that
standard publication upon which
democrats so much relied for data
, uj)on which to base their arguments
in thi' campaign of Is'.Mi, shows
that silver, which was (ID* cents
per ounce on July 1, just previous
I to the adoption of the (hicago plat
form, had fallen on .March I, ISitS,
i (twenty-one months later), to."Vl.''
cents, while nearly all farm pro
ducts had advanced. "Nearly
every one of the leading cereals,'*
it says,"and their products, in
j eluding Hour, advanced during
February."' The same is true in
many other articles of farm pro
duction. Out of ION staple articles
whose prices are followed by Brad
i street's more than one-half have
i advanced during the month of
February, while only 15 declined.
The steady advance in the prices
I of all articles of farm production in
the lace of the steady fall in the
price of silver is so strongly marked
and in such sharp contrast with
; th ■ assertions made by tin* Chicago
platform and the silver supporters
! in the campaigns of 1894 and 18!)ti
that a comparison of the present
prices of the various articles of
i farm production with those which
prevailed at the adoption of the
Chicago platform will be of general
interest, and especially timely at
this moment in view of the insist
ence of the Democrats and Populists
that the silver issue must again be
made the leading feature of the
campaigns. The following table
compiled from Brailstreets' gives
prices of various articles />f farm
production on .July 1, 189<>, com
pared with March 1, ls!tS. is chosen
because of its proximity to the date
of the adoption of the Chicago
platform. The prices quoted in
the tables below are those of the
New York market unless otherwise

it is certainly gratifying to the public
to know of one concern in the land
who are not afraid to be generous to
the needy and suffering. The proprie
tors of Dr. King's New Discovery for j
Consumption, Coughs and Colds, have !
given away over ten million trial i
bottles of this great medicine; and j
hove the satisfaction of knowing it has
absulutely cured thousands of hopeless
cases. Asthma, bronchitis, hoarseness 1
and all diseases of the throat, chest and i
lungs are surely cured by it. Call on :
L. Taggart, druggist, and get a trial j

Mason Mill Letter.
On deck again, after the lug drive.
0. W. Williams left for parts un
known 011 Monday, in search of a span
| of horses.
It. Itussell, bookkeeper on Cochran's
| log drive, was home on Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. D. F. Marsh visited
j friends on Benetts, last week.
Contractor W. U. liarr, of Mix Run,
1 was the guest of his mother over Sun
day.
Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Williams, of
Huston Hill, called 011 W. J. Miller and
wife, Friday.
The principal occupation of the
"wheats" of this place, is setting be
hind the stove fighting the Spaniards.
Mrs.Martha Miller returned home on
Saturday, after a prolonged visit with
friends at Medix Run.
Miss Vida Housler and Jessie Sterl
ing, two of Sterling Run's estimable
young ladies, attended the entertain
ment and visited friends here over
\ Sunday.
The associate judgeship pot has be
; gun to boil. About one hundred can
j dictates are in the field.—A big fat office
I —too bad we can't elect all of them.
W. U. Barr, the Mix Run lumberman
j lost his pocket book somewhere near
■ the school house on Sunday night,
i The finder will be liberally rewarded
by taking it back to the owner.
Claud Williams, Supt. of Mrs. Barr's
; stock farm, at Medix Run drove down
j to attend the entertainment Saturday
night.
Quite a nunber of young people from
| Sterling Run, Huston Hill and Millers
Run attended the entertainment on i
i Saturday night.
This region was visited on Friday
and Saturday night by a terrific storm.
, The wind blew, the lightning struck,
! the thunder crashed, the rain fell in
1 torrents and the end is not yet.
A large number of voters of this
I place attended the Republican pri
! Mary at Driftwood on Saturday and
; judging from the amount of noise they
| made coming home they had a very
j fine time.
I feel that in the interest of justice
I and the purity of our homes to say that
| a certain young man (or whether we
j can call him a man or not will leave to
I the readers) came to the school house
on Friday night when the teacher and
scholars were practicing for their en
tertainment and acted in an unmanly
way, pounding the school house, kiek
| ing the door, prying open the window
j shutters, looking in the transit, using
: disgraceful language, fiurishing a re
j volver in the window and making
| threats he would shoot the first person
j that made any resistance and making
noise that the people in side could
I hardly tell when it was thundering.
The cause of his bad action cannot be
! accounted for, unless he was possessed
] with an evil spirit or perhaps partook
of the wine when it was red. He was
| asked twice by the teacher in a kind
; and gentle way to come in the house,
| but he wasn't man enought to coioe in
jor go away. This young swain was
' raised by good christain parents and
; lor their benefit and for the benefit of
' the community, county and state,! will
| not mention his name. What this fellow
j deserves is nothing less than a term of
j years turning the grindstone in the
(Western "pen" and of which he no
j doubt will get if the jury does justice
|in the next term of court, and if he
j fails to get justice he had better goto
I the south sea island where he can find
j people of his own moral nature, and
j let civilized people live in peace.
Miss Amy Summersoa of Sterling
| Run finished a successful six months
j term of school at this place on Friday
last. Miss Summerson is a lady in
I every respect and gave general satis
| faction to the parents and scholars and
i was respected by ali. On Friday
night the school gave an entertain
ment which was a credit to themselves
as well as the teacher; notwithstand
ing the inclemency of the weather, the
house was packed to the uttermost.
Through neglect I am unable to get the
program and will only give what I can
; remember:
