Advent afres to the Agriculturist In th Present over Tim a Whn hi Product, anl O otl. hi Bought were Higher. My dear Biy Honator Win. M. Stewart has said about tho so-oallod imioriiiliaiii tssmi Just whit I meant to say in this letter Ho I send you hia statement and defer any remarks of my own till soinn future time, Meanwhile, I tako this opportunity to answer your lust epistle. You say that you told Mr. Skiiinor that lnl)or had novor boon mora ado qivvtely rewarded tlmn during Mo Kinloy's administration, uivl tint lit replied, "Tlmt i, not truo so fai ns fiirriiora aro oononrnod. IJ if ore the ieiiionetizition of silver I sold my wool f.r fifty cents a p und and my whoat for a dollar midii half a bushel. Yoa, my son, your father romom. bir thoso d'ij'8. I taught school in JhoSldnner district tho win tor of Democrats cull tho crime of '73." I boarded with old mini Skinnor all winter. IIo did ttoll his wheat for a dollar and u half and bis wool for forly-flvo cents lu IHTi. But I will mention some facts which ho forgot to toll you, and you may jog his memory a littlo. I studied algebra that winter by tho liht of a hoiiiD-inadi) tallow dip because Bkinner oould not af ford to buy oil. Oil was forty cunts a gallon. Now, In those days when tho Standard Oil Co. is crushing the lifo out of Skinner ho takes bis oil can to the grocery and buys a gallon for twelve cents. Wo used roasted wheat and burnt molasses in tho plaoo of colToo that winter booaino coffee was forty fivo and fifty cents a pound. Now, the insatiable coffee trust makes Skinner pay tbirtoon conts a pound for good roasted Lion. Wo used homo-made sorghum in stead of BUgar. Skinner bought just 'six pounds of dirty-looking brown sugar that winter and paid a dollar for six pounds. Now, in theso awful times, wiion the sugar trust Is grinding the fanners under its iron heel, Skinner gets sixteen pounds of nice granulated sugar for a dollar. Mrs. Skinner bad ono calico dress which Bhe saved for Sundays. On weok day she wore a linsey dress woven by her own hands. Calioo was twenty twj cents a yard and people spoke of its being ehoap at that. Now, you can get good cal ico ot five to six oeuts. The Skinners rodo to town in a big farm wagon in those days. I remember bearing Skinner ask the price of a buggy and when ho was told that it was a hundred and for ty dollars, he sighed and said that lie could not afford to buy. Two years ago he bought two now bug gies one for himself and Mrs. bkin ner and one for the two girls, Mo hnda aud Maria. He got the two for a hundred and ten dollars, fifty five dollars apiece. When I got through teaching that school I bought me a new suit of clothes. It was a ready-made suit of rather ordinary goods and cost me twentv-eifht dollars. This summer Iboughttnea better suit from II Schfraimky for twelve dollars and fifty cents In those days Skinner sold a pound of wool for forty-five cents. With the money he could buy less than three pounds of sugar, or a little more than a gallon of oil, or one pound ot coffee, or two yards of calico. This year he sold his wool for twenty-seven cents a pound. With the money he ran buy four and a half pounds ot sugar, or two and a fouith gallons of oil, or two and a fourth pounds of coffee, or five yards of calico. Now It seems to me as plain as daylight that the tiest mea.sure of re muneration for lulior or farming pro ducts is the amount of food or cloth lug that you can get for thein. I am best paid for the l;bors of a day when I can buy the most with the wages for the day. Judired bv this standard, never ere the workinginen, and estiecial- ly the farmers, of America, so pros perous as during McKluley's admin istration. There has been plenty of work for everybody who wants to work. Our folks have just been get ting their church painted. They put me ou the committee to attend to the matter, and the hardest thing I had to do was to flud a k Inter, cry painter to whom I went bad work engaged ahead for the season. At last I found n I my who knew n little about painting ami gave him the Job, and he did very well. Not only has there been plenty of work, but we.ro: have b.'on good and would buy far more of the tiece-wltlcs and comforts of life than the wages of the laborer In the days of depreciated currency after the civil war. Meanwhile, everybody knows that this prosperity has come about un der a gold standard, anil under a He publican administration. They also know that the Democratic platform dictated by Mr. llryan ilonoiineos the Dlngley tariff and the gold standard. My hoy, it is simply astounding me that any worklngiuan, or fanner, or business man should think serious ly of voting the Dciu icratie ticket this year. Leaving out the require ments of patriotism, self-interest ought to make every mm a Republi can this year. A supposition that the nation will vote to tear d ,vn our protective system and precipitate a financial revolution Is an insult to the Intelligence of the American people. Yofii Katiikk.

The constables, and those employed by them, have an Indisputable right to recover con penaution. The detectives should cooperate with the constables of the several townships for the purpose of prevent ing the destruction of the timber lands of the State by fire, and to bring personsguilty of the offence of set ting fire to the same to justice. Under these ucts the county be comes liable to pay in any one year $500. and the State tho same. McKiuley Acceptr. President MeKlnley's letter of ac ceptance of the Republican nomina tion for President is a masterly state ment of what has been accomplished by the Republican party under his administration. There is not u weak or halting sentence in the letter. It meets every issue of the campaign and demolishes every argument that has beeu put forward by tho llryuu ites in opposition to any policy of the auniiuistiatiuii, ii.c.uUing that of ex pansion, which the IhyuniU-s a;e trying so hard to iK-rsuudt- the coun try lu Uie face of ubsolute knowledge to the countrury, to accept as imper ialism. If that letter were the only state paper ever written by President McKiuley, it would alone give him the light to a place in the front rank of America's greatest statesmen. If any Intelligent American has any doubt of how he should vote, a care ful persuul of that letter will con vince him that there is only one way to vote to injure a continuance of our present prosperity,, and that is for McKinley and Hoosevelt.

Here is what Editor Littlo, of Newton, has to aay about improv. ing a town : Thore aro many 'vnys to improve a town. One of the first, however, is to lny stone side walks. Every property owner owes it as a duty to his neighbor and to the community to plnoo In front of his property n stone walk. The ex pense of n stone walk is not great and the stone laatsalife time. Such a walk increases the value of pro pertv makes It more rentable, nnd adds both to tho appearance of the itreot. and to the comfort of all who walk.

There aro several excellent reasons why the name of our next roproson- ntivont Hiirrlsbttrg should be Wil- nm Angle, and the voters who seek the best Interest of the county ought glvo them careful consideration. We have always, except in one in- tance, licen represented by n Denio- rnt and we ask the ix-ople to reflect on what they have done, and omitted ) do, In behalf of their constituents. When the F.rlo asked a change In s route and to outer the county at a "lint inaccessible to our people, it was allowed without protest, and we were thereby deprived of great bene- ts besides being comielled to pay tells across a br'dge to reach it. When the bridge liecame unsafe and the Erie desired an act to relieve it of the burden of repairing nnd main- ' tnlnlng the structure, It asked for and litalned tho passage of the Lamont Mining and railroad bill, which al- wed it to transfer all Its rights to a icrfcctly irresponsible corporation, nnd when efforts were made in the ourts to have the sale set aside a lemocrntic legislator, W. II. Dim- mick, prevented a verdict against the le, and, when later the legislature was asked to afford relief Lafayette Westbrook, our Representative, by a deliberate, fraud practised reported a resolution that tho Erie bad compiled with all the requirements and made a valid aalo to a corporation which ad erected a satisfactory bridge, bus frustrating all efforts to have the wrong righted. Our laws for the collection cf taxes are of Dcmoeniticyirlgin, and as Is well known, they seriously inconvenience farmers, and it is becoming difficult to secure collectors. When the forestry bill, which al- ows the State to purchase large quantities of our lands and thereby c7mt them rroiu taxation thereby mposing great additional burdens on the people, was on is pussage our Democratic representative entered no protest and made no effort to protect ur Interests. It is retorted that this measure was passed by a Republican eglslnture and he was in the minori ty. True, but had he been up to the level of the occasion he could have pointed out the injustice to his people and asked redress. This he wholly negh-oted to do, and thereby became the party to the great wrong. We should have relief in some form and, if It. is urged that a Democrat being in the minority is powerless to pre vent the infliction of such Injury to his constituents, It Is fair to assume that his efforts to obtain redress will be equally fruitless, even should he make the attempt. Why not there fore send a representative belonging to the majority party whose voice and efforts may have weight? Surely when we can point to an unbroken line of acts acquiesced In, or promot ed byr our LwmoeruLia rrwnttivti- which have been highly prujudical aud positively injurious to our Inter ests it Is time to ask whether a change muy not produce benefits. Mr. Angle is a forceful speaker, he would be with the majority and would lie heard attentively. The reasons he could adduce for relief from the ef fects of the Forestry law are cogent anil would probably prevail. There are other measures for our benefit which might be urged with effi-et If presenUnl by one with whom the ma jority was In full sympathy. Voters would do well to look to their own interests and cast their ballots so that they may effect the most individual tx'neflt to them. Hurricane at Galveston.
