Editor Argvt and Patriot JT on; here In a cultured western eity of 35.000 inhabitants, possessed of toor daily papers, the news was received the rooming toilowing the election of Vermont's 89,000 majority for sound money and profcttoo. "Strange as it mav seem, people didn't expect ranch of Vermont. They are, however, a little jealous that Vermoitt, with only 60,000 voters, should be represented In the electoral college by four votes, while Colorado, with a voting population of nearly 200,000, should have only the same number.

No doubt Ver-mont also has beard Irom Arkansas, with her 65,000 majority directly the other way, her Increased majority being more than Ver mont's total majority. Of course it Is unpopular In Vermont to even think of such a thing as free silver coinage, and any such thing Is rank heresy. However much this feeling exists, there are those who love their State with a feeling that, if by rolling up a big maiority for Bryan and Sewall they can help themselves and by so doing help Vermont in spite of herself, they will not be at all jealous because a benefit should come to Vermont, though against her will. It seems as though an oblect les9on has been taught to Vermonters, so plainly that "he who runs may read," in her abandoned farms and her decreased farm values in general. Mr.

Spear, if 1 remember rightly, stated In a recent report that the abandoned farms were few. If any, and yet I passed in a single town not 15 miles from bis home at least five abandoned farms, and was told that within a radius of 10 miles there were dozens such. Of course it seems hard to Ibink of such a state of affairs, and relief ought to come, not so much to the abandoned farms as to the present owners ol farms, and especially to those who have paid a part of the principal and interest upon mortgages tor years an.l have nothing to show tor their years of toil save a disappearing of Us results as complete as a pebble in the sea. Only the value of the mortgage remains; there is very little value above that, and that, too, is disappearing as fast as the money is put in. I know of a fine intervale farm lnoneol the finest farming sections In the State, that a tew years ago was sold for $9,000.

The first payment niade was to be $1,000, but instead waa an endorsem*nt of $1,000 on the notes, as the value of the farm was decreased to that extent. At the present the farm could not be sold or over $3,500, If at that. Has the larm decreased in production, or rather, has it increased in the past five years? Why has it not increased in value in proportion to its Increased productive value? Simply because it takes more ot the product of the farm to buy a dollar with which to pay a debt than formerly. The increase in the purchasing power of a dollar must necessarily decrease the purchasing power of all things measured by the dollar, and this occurs, in my opinion, from the fact that powerful agencies are at work at home and abroad to make gold still more valuable lo those wbo must have it to pay debls with, than it is even now. Ot course this Is hardly feasible, because at the present time near, ly all the products of the farm are selling below the actual cost ot production, not figuring the aid given by nature free to man, and which counts lor nothing.

What Is true of the farm, is true of silver mines. E. J. Phelps dreams of the silver miners, "rich beyond I he dreams of avarice," when, In fact, the silver Itself counts for nothing In Its natural state in value in most instances, and the only value allowed to the sliver miner Is the same as to the farmer, the bare cost of production. Sliver and nature count for nothing.

The larger part of the silver now produced is a by product of gold, and as a matter of fact, there are only four or five distinctively sliver mines now being worked profitably. So that Mr. Phelps' dream must be very painful to him, and especially when he wakes up to the company be is in and their pur pose. I like Mr. Phelps and for the same reasons shall cast my vote for Bryan and Sewall.

When it comes to submitting to having the bread and butter taken from the mouths ot his children because gold has become so valuable that he cannot get enough with which to buy necessaries, no matter how cheap thev are.

The American people will not for a moment doubt their ability to accomplish whatever they set out to accomplish, and there-lore they look with disdain upon a policy dictated from abroad. I trust that whoever reads this article will take pains to post himself upon the important Issue of the day, and to my friends I will say that I have no apology to make for this appearing in a Democratic newspaper, for I feared It would reach the waste basket, first of all because of the rank heresy contained therein, if sent to a Republican newspaper.

An Echo from Skiloli. County Treosurer Fttertoacar. Recalls His Experience on the Battlefield. Fram the Nonpareil, Council Blujfs, Iowa. County Treasurer A.

TJtterback, of Ulen-wood, has long been one of the leading citizens ol Mills County, and since the days of his service for the Union cause has labored industriously at his home in Rawls township, with the result that he has not only surrounded himself with almoBt all the oomiort8 heart could wish, but has grown into the esteem of bis fellow men. His popularity and standing, therefore, made his election to the County Treasurersbip easy. His work as County Treasurer, however, was confining. Coming as he did from an active outdoor life on the farm to the close and confining duties of the treasurer's office, he quickly began to run down In health and to visibly fail in strength, and energy. The Deputy Treasurer, Mr.

Lon Sawyer, Is a great believer in the efficacy of Dr. Williams' fink Pills. His constant advice to his employer, Mr. Utterback, was to the effect that be should use these pills. Finally Mr.

Utterback consented, and now after having used several boxes he is able to make the following statement to your correspondent "Havel used rink Pills? Yes, sir, and I shall continue to use them Just so long as they benefit me as they do now.

In my case, army diarrhoea was the result.

II has been the burden of my life for over thirty years, but at last I have found something to conquer it. The Pink Pills are a success in my case, as I have no doubt they will be with all who will use them." The reporter afterwards called npon Wm. Sktlllcorn, the popular druggtst, and from him gained ihe inlormation that Dr. Wil-Hams' Pink Pills have reached a most surprising sale in this community. "But of all the cures," said the pharmacist, "that of Treasurer Utterback is the most remaTkable and, at the same time, tiro most gratifying.

It is always interesting to have any one speak with so much confidence of the purposes and intentions of Providence. The Democratic party has no objects ion to wealth honestly and legitimately earned.

But it is unalterably opposed to the accumulation of wealth by one or many persons through the operation of laws which give one citizen an advantage over another. It opposes legislation that confers upon any set of men the privilege, through monopoly orother advantage, of getting rich at the expense of their fellow-men. It has no patience with the Carnegie theory that one man must be made rich in order that he may dole out wages, benefits aud charitable memorials to his less-fortunate fellows. It holds to the equality of all citizens under the law. The Democratic party protests against the political division of the people into rich and poor that has been made by unjust legislation.

It holds up the riches of certain very rich men as an evil, not because the riches per se are an evil, but because the enormous wealth aud power are examples of the evil of monopoly legislation. St. Louis Republic. The State Auditor's report is just at hand, at such a late hour that we can give it only in brief. A glauce at the report shows that the people's money is still being expended with a lavish hand.

The grand total of the auditor's orders (court expenses included) in 1882 was S2S9.733. In 1805 it was and in it was This comparison speaks more eloquently than words of the reckless extravagance that now prevails in our -State expenses. In every department there is the same recklessness. In 1882 our net court expenses were 48,404. In 1895 they were aud in 1896 they were 97,454.

Salaries ere 846,650 in 1SS2 In 1895 they were 00,443, and in 1896, 64,075. The House of Correction cost us 9,325 in 1882, 19,567 in 1S95 and 26,515 in 1896. The militia cost 13,176 in 1882, 22,670 in 1895, and 24,385 in 1896. And so It goes, all the way through. How much longer will the State endure this sort of thing News.

He was a student in the public schools at Atlanta, at the breakiug out of the war, and joined the confederate army, in which he served with bravery and won distinction and promotion. At the close of the war he studied law and was admitted to the bar.

He was elected iudge of the superior court in 1S78, but resigned his position after a few years to accept a nomination to Congress. In Congress he took a leadiug position, at the first and served on important committees. His contest with Mills. of Texas, for the speakership was a memorable struggle. After he was succeeded in the chair by Reed he was the leader of the Democrats on the floor of the House.

Mr. Crisp was a candidate for Senator from Georgia and was assured of the Democratic vote in the legislature. His death is a serious loss to his party, his State and his country. A TERRIBLE OPERATION. One of the most painful and dangerous operations known to surgerv is that re sorted to for the removal of cancer or tumor; these diseases are becomlne more and more prevalent everv vear and hospitals are called upon to receive increasing numbers of those who must submit to the operation for the removal ot cancer.

Medical science has never been able to furnish a remedy for these diseases, but it seems that a true remedv has been found in Ypsilantt Specific, a natural mineral water. For fourteen years this water has been thoroughly tested in hundreds of cases, and no case has ever been found where there was auy hope of life left that this water would not cure.

Miles, recently raised to the rank of major general in command of the army of the United States, is the first man who has attained to that rank wbo as not a graduate of West Point. Leaving the dry goods counter at the commencement of the war at the age of 21, he was commissioned lieutenant, serving with distinction and rapidly promoted for gallant service till at the close of the war he held the commission of major-general. He was transferred directly to the tegular army with the rank of colonel, aud was soon ordered to service in the Indian eouutry. His service iu Indian fighting has been of the most stirring character, aud an account of it is of absorbing interest. He has recently written a book called "1'kksonal Experiences," which presents a vivid picture of the remarkable events in which he has been so prominent a figure, with copious and excellent illustrations by noted artists, with portraits of noted generals and Indians, battle scenes, wonderful scenery of the West, etc Messrs.

To accomplish this he may recommend the Issue of United States bonds at a low interest for a long term of years.

Butter's Kidney fills h.ra tnaulM uwn. the laboring man wbo is now idle. All this clap trap about an -honest dollar," "sound money" means to me simply gold. If an honest dollar Is a dollar that brings revenue only to the syndicates and foreign United States treasury manipulators I am not tor it but against tt. It we must submit to a wrong simply because a foreign nation will not pull us out, let those who will submit in the name of party, not I.

If an honest dollar means a dollar that will take twice as mnoh of a farmer's products and par only half so much of his debts I am not in favor of "sound monev." A few short months ago the United States was "twisting the lion's tail," In regard to Venezuela, but now tbe3ame paity that was "twisting" is terribly alrald they will cheat Kngland out of a sweeping mortgage upon this nation that is last accumulating a hundred millions at a time and $16,000,000 bonus besides tor the privilege ot giving eaoli bond issue to them. This has become almost a perpetual Institution and If we absolutely place the gold standard as a permanent thing in our finances it will become permanent. Almost superhuman efforts are being made by these foreign corporations to beep the gold rev. enue intact until after election in order that they may fasten their "grip of gold" com. pletely It McKinley is eitcted.

And do you suppose they are pulling eoitl in tne uniiea Slates treasury now without hope of reward In the future? 1 believe they are loaning that money without security or bond issue simply to stave off a bond Issue until after they know who will be the next President and whoever is elected the bond issue must come after election. Then there are those new people, citizens of Ihe United States, who won't stand this sublime sympathy for tbein of the gold standard supporters, who are so solicitous that they-tbe farmers will be obliged to take 60 cent dollars for their products that in their over abundance ot kindness won't buy wheat at halt price even if forced uponthem. Then these Vermont industries who are so solicitous for their help that though their helo are more than willing to take 50 cent dollars and let the managers save one-halt their pay roil without reducing meir output or prices, tbev are not willing to take advantage ot their willing laboring man. So In order to furnish an object lesson tney go to neiico tor one ox meir aoiiars ana pay ineir eip on id mem. nun it ineir neip dwi ue-manded gold In payment as an object lesson man should demand the "honest money" ot these manufactories? Where would the $1 gold pieces and the $5 gold pieces come from to pay them with? There would be a universal demand for gold coin which eould not nearly be supplied and these manufacturers would squirm mighty hard to pay their help in gold and In order to get the gold pay a big premium to these money lenders.

But if would be grand for the lender, and after he had once got bis premium it ought to be a precedent for the future, because it is his right, it can't be taken from him, cry the manufacturers, bnt how soon It would be that the manufacturer would be crying for tree sliver, "then we'll have more money and won't be obliged to nse a money that Is In so small supply and great demand that we have to pay a premium for it." Then great insurance companies threaten to pay their policies in 50 cent dollars in case of tfryan'a election. Poor people are not willing to save to themselves one-half their assets, if they are compelled to do it, they would almost instantly become enormously rich and vet shrink from it, theae men who are being paid $50,000 a year salary wouldn't take a gift of millions I And then the rail road corporations, well, some of them are afraid their watered stock may be brought down to a true basis through Bryan's election, they naturally are solicitous for the farmer whose products they haul, they are not willing that he should have a 50 cent dollar. If be wants It. and so instruct tbeir men to join MoKinley clubs and vote for Mc- muiey in novemoer. Their instructions though not printed in the "Rules and Regula tiona to Govern Emolovees" are iust as bind ing, and mean that if such an one ventures to openly exercise his right to American sun-rage be shall lose his iob.

Then there Is the Beef Trust coming out with a olroular saying that in case Bryan is elected meats will be doubled in price. Did you ever bear of a corporation before that would not take double price for their goods, even If forced to do 11? That's a good circular to send to an but a poor one for the producer, who openly acknowledges that be is willing to take double prices for his products If he can get it. Then would the farmer prosper and spend his money for the products of the laboring man, and the laboring man would find employment and cupltal investment and Investment profit. so me neei a rust really is aoing gooa worar In spite of Its bad Intention. I am glad E.J.

Phelps opens a way for me to vote, without being conscience-stricken for leaving my party, for Bryan. I wouldn't uphold the "Dred Scott" decision of Justice Taney simply because he was a supreme couri juage, ana wnicn 1 infer Mr. rneips does; nor would I make infallible any decision of a human being simply because some one differed and criticised that decision; nor would I take away the right to criticise any oi lue aeiiuns 01 a servant Ol toe puonc. As it Is right for a citizen of this Republic to vote upon all nnblic Questions as bis con science dictates 1 wish lo exercise that right, and In so doing I cannot argue for a thing that has produced the same results that I predict will happen If the opposite thing takes piace. nr.

rneips in nis ringing letler to the Free Frti describes exactly the state of national bankruptcy, of closed mills, of homeless millions and starving thousands, of the vast army of idle men. and depression e-en. erally that exists at the present day, and he proposes to continue the same policy that has done all this for he is not and never will be a protectionist but be says this state of affairs will come if Bryan wins in the coming election. If there Is one tact more potent than another it is that the past two or three years have been years of depression generally and there are no signs of a clearing sky, except that "every cloud has. a silver lining" and instead of the disaster which we already have with us and which does not really exist to Mr.

Phelps but appears to him as a prophetic dream, we shall have prosperity, instead of millions starving in a iand of plenty we shall have capital let loose to catch the rising tide of values aud then the poor man can find employment and food. I believe that if we compel Kngland to pay $1.29 per ounce for ber silver bullion, Instead of65centsnow that she can not compel us to sell our wheat at 65 cents as we are doing now to her. 1.1 v-erpool markets rule the world's, and especially our markets. Compel England to pay $1.29 an ounce for our silver bullion and you cut on" her ability to buy nearly two bushels of wheat from India with a dollar's worth of silver. As It is now England can take a dollar In god, buy our silver at 65 cents per ounce, take it to India, eoln it and buy a bushel of wheat, by so doing compel us to sell a bushel of wheat at the same price as thev pay the Indian In gold value, or actually Just one-hall what we can afford to sell It for.

But we have to do It. If we raise the price ot silver Ensland will have to pay more lor the silver with which she buys a bushel of wheat, thereby making Indian wheat coat her more in gold and thereby raising onr own prloea to a profitable basis. By increasing the value of the farmer's products we Increase the value of the farm we Increase the farmers' purchasing ability, so that he can buy things that other peer's manufacture and by creating demand lor manufactured goods, factories will open, furnish employment to the idle and thev in turn will buy more of ihe farmer's products, thereby establishing a market lor each other's products. And in the rising values of farms. In tberialng demand for manufactured goods, the capitalist win find profltaole employment for bis capital fa rejuvenated industries, la the Investment in real estate for advance.

In fact, the capitalist will be oneof the first to catch the rising tide, tor be is con stantly on the alert for the profitable employment of his capital. As ll la now, farms are constantly depreciating in value and the capitalist vaults bis money. Industrie have no markets tor Ibelr goods and ibe caoitalivt vaults his money. Money la the one thing that Is too precious to low sight af. Money become the dearer while values ol other things are dropping.

It is more profitable to keep money locked op than to Invest It with a prospect of further decline In valueau A1I these things are brought about by the ayowed pnrpoae of a syndicate to corner gold and make it more desirable than any thing else, in fact, to make it a necessity to ii. a gold standard country, and compel us to give twice as much wheat, corn an ria and labor for a dollar of it than we cau afford to. It propoaee to exact millions ol dollar lrom our government, which thinks it must have It, for the one of gold owned by this syndicate, and even then It leela It Is doing an extremely generous and merciful act In eo tiling to the aau ot ibis great nation In time of t-enl. But soon we wake up, and the gold has found Its way back anals to I be original holders, and we auust have It again, which mean another bond Issue. This Is the end.
