There has been an increase of over thirty per cent, in the prioo of that article since the framing of the Dingley law. And now cotton-sood has joined the procession of the farm products which are advancing in price. In doed it is pretty hard to find any article of farm production which ha3 not advanced during the time that silver has been falling and the Ding ley law going into operation. Some curiosity has been expressed to know how it was that ex-candidate Bryan failed to materialize at that Ohio silver camp-mooting. The mnnagors of the oamp-moeting are not taking the publio into their con fidence, but there is a suspicion that McLean and Chapman concluded Mr. Bryan's price too high for the rosult they would get. Those dreary and depressing statements showing the enormous number of business failures all over the country during the four years of the Cleveland administration art rapidly disappearing. The business failures during the second week of the present September were only 169, while those of the correspond ing week of 1896 were 346, and they rnngo in that vicinity during(the corresponding week in each year of the Cleveland torm. The Ohio Democrats who are run ning away from their silver plat form have plenty of company now Chairman Jones has recommended to the New York Democrats that they drop silver, and Senator Gor man is also engaged in the delight ful occupation in his State of advis ing Maryland Demoorats to perform the same act. The proposition to make something out of nothing was too thoroughly tested last year to make it a safe one this. Xhr contrast between the gold sur plus since the new administration ouine in and that during the Cleve land administration is very remark able. Mr. Cleveland was compelled to )11 hundreds of millions of dol lars' worth of bonds to keep up the "reserve," while the Treasury De partment has just notified the Sub treasurer of New York that it has all the gold it needa and that he noed not make any effort whatever to add to the accumulation. , It wajj very thoughtless on the part of those Georgia Democrats to bring about that little "affair" iu which a colored Republican was shot from ambueh because he was an oITioe-holdor, without consulting the Ohio Domoornts. It has pliwed the latter in a very awkward posi tion, for thoy hoped to get the sup port of a largo eloiuont of colored Democrats of that State on local is sues this time, but, of course, this Gisorgla instance absolutely des troys that prospect. : t People who have any doubt about the return of business prosperity will probably be interested in the figures on bank clearances, which are . of oourso the most accurate business barometer that can possi bly be produced. The Voports from the great financial centers show that the clearances for the week ending September 18 are larger than at any time since the closing months of tha Harrison administration, are fifty per cont. greater than those of one year ago, and seventy-five per cont greator than those of two years ago. The asseainont of horao3 and o ittle in this county varies on the former, while on the latter $10 is the uniform value. There is no state tax, and is their any roon why aoowora nor .e should not bo assessed at its value? The occupation valuation is $50 onfarinori. The mm who own3 a largo and productive farm pays no more tax on his occupation than the laborer he hires to work for him and no more than the small farmer. Is this equitable? Are the occupations of all farmers and laborers of equal value to the possessors? A CONVENTION OF ASSESSORS. If the assossors wish to do their duty in the coming assessment, it would be proper to have a meeting and have all the facts and figures of the present rating of values, if such it can be called, placed before them for inspection and consideration. They oould then arrive at a just oonclusion as to relative values, and by discussion and comparison ad just valuations in different sections, 83 that no advantages would be takon, and eaoh locality could be impartially oonsidered. The Com missioners In the interests of the general good to rosult and the wel fare of the taxpayers which might arise from such a convention might possibly be induoed to allow pay for such a meeting. UNEQUAL ASSESSMENTS. Sussex county sooms to be agita ting the subject of inequality in valuations, and the drift is that town property is not valuod in pro portion with farms. In other words that the farmer pays moro than his fair share of taxes. We do not know the method adopted over there in farm valuation, but if it in any wise resembles ours, there is just cause of complaint and a need of careful revision as to that class of property likewise. We hnvo said before that taxation to be fair should bear on every person in precise proportion to the cash value of hi? property. That is likewise the intention of the law. This end cannot be attained by the system in vogue in this couuty of applying Jtho same valuation, or practically so, to lands as a class, taking in all "hill" improved, and also all river flats, and placing the same valuation on them by those two classifications. So in towns. Dwellings and business places which may have cost the same to erect are by no means of the same value, ow ing to their more or less desirable or advantageous location or for the purposes designod. It is the duty of every taxpayer to aid In having a proper fair, just, and lawful as sessment mode so that the burden maV be distributed in equal and ex act proportion on the tax payers in the whole county.

It is at lonst an opon question whether it bo really economical, ns has lotifr been contended, to buy supplies in wholesale quantities, thus obtaining tno benefit of wholesale prices. Those who live in apftrt tnents whom there can le no store room have often found, to their sur prise, that the grocery bills at the year's end were no larger than when they did not buy from Imnd-to-month, as it were. The reason for this is that human nature seems go constituted that it is practically im possible for one to be so careful of n profusion as of n little. It would appear that a receipt would lie fol lowed, in nny event, and that enough of every ingredient would have to be used to secure success. Yet it is true that any commodity bought in abundance " koos fastnr ' than whon loss lavishly provided. This is truo, even when the mistress herself is the user. It is therefore not nt all unnatural that it should be truo of the maid as woll. Now York Evouing Post. As for ourselves wo cannot fully agree with the above, fit is too much like advocating the buying of articloson the " installment plan," where you pay a, largo profit to peo ple for saving your money for you as it were, for a short time. T. B. Terry, a noted farmer and ogricul tural writer of Ohio, is nn enthusl ost on buying at wholesale, and he has convinced us that he is about right on the subject. ' Buying by the quantity " should nlso discour age the less wealthy people from ' living from hand-to-numth " as muoh as they do at prosent. Whon you soe a 'young lady out doctoring horses, etc., does it not soom as though she had ratherover stopped the bounds of hor "sphere," Why not rather let her be nn M.

Tho protests of Europoan tourists gainst paying tariff duties on thoir porsonal effects in excess of $100 comes with very poor grace from men and women who yearly spond $200,000,000 or more of money which was produced in the United States and which rightfully should be spent here. It is a fact that passen ger rates have been lowered so much as to enable some people to actually take a trip to Europo and make money by the operation through tho old time lax administration of tho tariff laws. The mon who can spend money for a European trip are just tlie class who should be made to pay thoir dues in full to the government. It is no more mquisi torial to examine tho personal effects of a passenger than to examino stocks of goods to see if thoy aro what they represented to be.

It is estimntod thnt tho government will require 2.500,000,- 000 postal cams in four years, weigh ing 7,000 tons and requiring 400 freight cars for their transports tion. Tho lowest bid submitted is in the neighborhood of $700,000. A Washington dispatch announces that West Virginia forests will probably furnish the timber for those curds, and quite an area of woodland will bo denuded of troes to make up tho reqnirod quantity. This will also furnish employment for a largo number of people, and is in every way a strictly immense ar fair. Stockman and Farmer. Tho value of a brood may bo of but little importance to those who regard one animal as good as an other, but the fact that, while thore is a decrease of about 14,000,000 sheep in Australia compared with three yoars ago, tho wool clip has increased, which is proof that there is a profit in breeds. The flocks have boon culled every year with a large increase of wool product in conse quence. New York Farmer. PROSPERITY. Of this we can bo sure : Some of the foundations of prosperity have been lulu brood and deep, and It can not be long before the superstruc turo will begin to rise, a superstruc ture worthy of the past and worthy of 'a world which, however it may soom to falter, is always steadily advancing toward a richer prosinir ity and a greater civilization. Thomas B. Reed, in American Ag riculturist. ORKilNAL. The agricultural editor of The Portland (Mo) Express thus answers ft correspondent who wanted to keep his neighbor s hens out or his garden : " lenr Correspondent Take a lot of small, stiff cards, about 1 by 3 inches ; write on thorn I'lenso keep your darned old hens nt home. Tie a short string to enrh card, with a grain of corn at the other end of tho string, and scatter them where tho hens connregnto. When the hungry biddy gobbles up the grain that draws tho prizo, sh' follows nn tho string, stowing it away until she comes to tho card.

The Krptibllrana IMace a Ticket In the Field -J Ashhel V. fltnh Named For Comptroller, n. Rosa Applrton For Treslrtent of the Council. New York. Sept. S9 The Republican rlty convention for Greater New York, which met In Carnegie hall, has placed the following ticket In the field: For mayor General Ti'njnmln P. Trney nf the borough of Manhattnn. For comptroller Ashliel P. Fitch of the borough of Manhattan. For president of the munMpnl coun cil R. Robs Appleton of the borough of Brooklyn. Lieutenant Governor Timothy L. Woodruff wns rhnpen chairman and de livered the keynote speech of the con vention, after which the usual commit. toci.were named. Lieutenant Governor Woodruff, as chair man, called for committee reports. and Joseph M. Pcuel reported for the committee on contested seats In favor of- dividing tho vote in the First and Second districts In Brooklyn so as to give ench side a half vote. Hugo Hlrseh moved as an amend ment that the committee be discharged and that the Fining delegates be al lowed to retain their seats. Mr. Hlrseh Insisted that the statement of Mr. Deuel that each side had been given an opportunity to be heard was not cor rect The Low people, he said, had not been given a fair show, while Lieu tenant Governor Woodruff had boon al lowed to present the case of the oppo sition at great h nrih and wns not lim ited as to time. The delegations head ed by Messrs. Chltlendon and Buttling had been honestly elected and were en titled to the whole vote and no half vote. 'I wae nt horn a twin, and I cannot divide mys'-lf." anld Mr. Illrsch. "We were Instructed to work "and vote for Beth Low f. r mayor, ond I cannot di vide myeoif. I bellwe that the men - r ' t St'1 i Jl ft J If BENJAMIN F. TRACY, who hoot him now will vote for hlrn on election day." Mr. Quigg moved that Mr. Hlrseh's motion be laid on the table. Messrs. Buttling and Worth Jumped up and de manded a roll call. When the borough of Manhattan was reached, Mr. Quigg said he was Instructed to cast 191 votes In the affirmative. Mr. Woodruff Instructed the secreta ry not to call the roll of the First and Second districts of Brooklyn, where the contests were. Sheriff Buttling de manded that his name be called. Cries of "Pit down, sit down!" greeted Mr. Buttling. "I will when I get through," said Mr. Buttling. When Worth's name was called, he arose and denounced the ruling of the chairman. "I. do not care about being cheered," he suld when the cheers of his friends had subsided. "I have been hissed as often as I have been cheered, and I do not know of anything I have done to deserve one more than the oth er." He went on to denounce the re port of the committee as unfair. He spoke of Piatt as the man who presses the button, and all obey the orders of the button. At this point the Piatt men yelled, "Kit down!" but Woi-th kept on. He said that the delegates had been regularly elected, and when a dispute was sprung he had expected the com mittee to dor Just what It had done. He understood that they had assembled to hold a convention to nominate can dtdatea and not to elect new delegates. When the roll call was finished, the vote was announced as 301 to 46, and the motion of Mr. Hlrseh was laid on the table. The report of the committee on contested seats was then adopted. The platform was presented and adopted. It Indorsed the St. Louis ASH BEL P. FITCH. platform and Mr. McKlnley'e adminis tration as president, also Governor Black and the luat Republican legisla ture. It sets forth the work done by the Republicans In accomplishing the consolidation of the Greater New yora and urges the fitness of electing a Re publican mayor for the city. It com monds the pnivlslons In regard to the letting of public franchisee and praises the principles embodied in the law reg ulating the sale of liquor. It finally re. hearses the work done by the Kepub' llcan party for the good of the city. After the adoption of the platform Mr. Quigg moved that the convention proceed to the nomination of a candl date for the ofliee of mayor of Greater New York. District Attorney Olcott nominated (or mayor General Benjamin F. Tracy, Jacob Worth, In a speech continual ly interrupted by cheers and groans. nominated 8eth Low. Before the nominations closed Fred erlck A. Bchroeder'a name was also brought before the convention. Bal lotlng then began. Mr. (m gg cast the entire vote of the boioiiRlTa of Manhattan and Bronx, m votes, for General Tiacy. 8. B. Chit teuden cast 8 half votes for Low, and Buttling 4 half votes for Low. Mr. Hur ley cast 4 voteg fur General Tracy. The vote finally was aa follows Tracy, 2K7; Low, i(; Schroeuer, i. Sheriff Buttling, when the vote was -1 . " V -.-An 7 I 1 s R. ROSS APPLETON. announced, said, "In view of the fact that the gentleman from New York says Tracy will stick. I move to make the nomination unanimous." He add ed that the candidate of the convention would receive the loyal support of Mr. Worth and his faction. Genernl Tracy's nomination was then made unanimous, and a committee consisting -of Dele gates nidwell. Worth. Prall, McRob erts and Hurley was appointed to noti fy General Tracy of his nomination. Chauncey M. Depew nominated the Hon. Ashbel P. Fitch for comptroller, and on motion of Delegate Hlrseh the nomination was made unanimous. Jest's Johnson of Kings county then nominated R. Ross Appleton for presi dent of tho council. This was also a unanimous nomination. ' Silver t?omoirats Nominate George. New York, Sept. 28. Henry George was nominated for mayor at the Lenox lyceum last night by a convention of 810 delegates styling itself the United Democracy. Ex-Benator John Gllmore Boyd of New York city, the antlmonop. oly leader of years ago, wns nominated for comptroller. Wlnfleld Scott Overton of Long Island City was nominated for president of council. A resolution was passed condemning the nomination for chief Judge of the court of appeals of Alton B. Parker, and a committee was authorized to present to the voters of the state another candidate. The senti ment of the convention was that this candidate should be Charles Frederick Adams. It Is understood that he will accept if Henry George will accept. The convention wns called by the committee of 25 appointed at the Hol land House conference on Sept. 10. Twenty organizations were represented at that conference, but two organiza tions predominated at last night's con vention. They were the Young Democracy of Manhattan, otherwise known as O'Brlenltes, after their leader, ex Sherirl O'Brien, and the Kings County J. I 1 J " HF.NKY GEORGE. Democratic league, one of the organ izations which has been fighting stren uously to compel Tammany Hall to nominate a free silver man for mayor. The purpose of the convention last night doubtless was to force Tammany to nominate a free silver man. No one seemed to know Juat what Henry George would do, but Charles Freder ick Adams said he thought that Mr. George would wait until all the con ventions are held and then accept this nomination If there remained suffi cient reason to make a protest. The delegates seemed to take It for granted that Mr. George would accept If Tammany Hall does not nominate a free sliver candidate. Worth's Pefoat In Brooklyn. Brooklyn, Sept. 24. Jacob Worth, who has been the recognized Repub lican leader in this city, was defeated last night at the Republican county con vention of Kings county.
