Sow that confidence is restored let us hear something about that railroad to Salem, and also to Falls city. Oregon is not a small pumpkin after all when she carries away twenty awards at the World's fair to California twelve, and Washing ton four. Is 1892 the United States export ed 12,604,686 pounds of bops and paid 15 cents duty on 2,496,224 pounds Imported. Put hops on the free list, what thent Nov is the time to form fruit planting companies and borrow money for eight and ten years and pay it back out of the profits of fruit raising in Polk county. Althouo a the United States ex norted 157.280.351. bushels of wheat last year to foreign countries we imported 2,459,602, bushels and paid a duty of 25 cents a. bushel Supposing wheat was on the free list what would be the reaultt Wb imported into the Uuited States last year 148.670,672 pounds of all kinds of wool. Supposing wool is placed on the free list how many pounds will we get from abroad, and how willjit effect the home productf Obeoo.v, according to the census of 1890 had 111,744 voting popula tion, of whom 102,113 were white. Mississippi had.271,080, voting pop ulation, of whom 150,469, or more than half, were colored. South Carolina had 132.919 voters to 102657 whites. South Carolina in 1892 cast 70,444 votes for president, of which 54,692, were Democratic, 13,345 were Republic an and 2-107 were People's party. Florida had a population, ac cording to census of 1890, of u91, 422, and had a voting population of 96,213, of whom 58,068 were white and 38,145 colored. In 1892 the .total vote foi president was 35,561. The number of Democrat ic rotes was 30,143, of Prohibition 475, and People' Party 4,843, and not a single Republican vote. The present legislature has on joint bal lot 100members;97 being democrat), 1 Peoples, 1 Independent and 1 Re publican. No doubt that republi can feels lonely. our creditors not forcing us, The lottalug out now of millions of dol lars means that every man must pay who is able to do so, tod so the courts will be. lively, but still many a family is going to sutler. We have been on the verge of finan cial disaster too long to ull at ouoe recover, Our advice to everyone Is, if you borrow mooey now borrow a small amount. Within six mouths more money will be offered than there are takers, provided the security is good, and interest rates will go down. There are said to be seven hundred million dollars, in gold, just waitiog to rash lot1) America when confideuce is restored That money is glad to bring four per cent per annum. Our banks can now pay for it, from six to seven per ceut, therefore it will seek an early investment. Tim time has now come when money will be made very rapidly, in real estate. The first persons to get the influx of gold lll be the rich men. They will squeeze the small fry, and unless yoa have your eyes open will get your prop erty for a song. AU you waut now if you are on a solid foundation, 1b time to get your affairs in shape. Money will soon be ready to loan on real estate, for terms of years at si low as six per cent per an uum in moderate slsed loaus. Small loans of course will be ten per cent Loans on poor security will be as hard to get as ever. In 1878 the total paper money circulation in the U. 8. was 1345, 910,655 and-we had 1(128,400,203 in gold and 915,059,823 in vllver in the treasury, to redeem it. The paper currency being 37.1 per ceut gold and 4.3 per cent silver. Last year we had 9837,252,095 in paper curreucy with 9278,846,760 in gold, and 9103,187,017 in silver coin or bullion to redeem it. The ratio to paper currency was 31.4 per cent and 45.4 per cent silver. It will be noticed quite an increase of silver and a decrease of gold. That is the reason why the Slier man purchatiug act was doing harm. Cnr(iiUS fmmtr TraSta.

A dollar will carry a man a long way In a box car, al though it does not give him the priv ilege of suing the company in case of anacvldent Well regulated crews divide the train Into two equal perts. The head brakeman has the tint half of the train, the hind brakeman has the lat ter half and the conductor gets the caboose fares, which he sometimes divides with the company, but con ductors have been discharged for be ing too honest In that retipect Train- masters, superin tenden ts and general managers have most of them com menced by carrying water to the sec tion crews and wound their way up on the brakeman and conductor lad der, and they don't like to see old landmarks destroyed or adultoratod. -Grafton (N. D.) Record, - We often hear the fiat money men say. "Let us get along with out paying,out gold. Paper money will pass in America. Let us be lnnepenuenc oi oiner nations." Din ing 1892 the United States paid out 1126,801,607, for coffee, $14,873, 222 for tea, and 9115,784,034, for sugar and molasses imported, or a total for those three articles alone, of 9256,958,863. Our total imports last year amounted in value to 9827, 401,573, and yet we can live within ourselves, says the fiat money man. You can preach to the people to live on bread and water, but will they heed the preachingt The way we look at the financial question now is this: Our people have after a hard a stubborn fight, announced to the world their deter mination of having an "honest dol lar" consequently the millions of dollars in gold which has been in hiding for the past year will come forth with a retnrn of confidence times will improve, Heretofore we have all been living from hand to mouthy not forcing our debtors,and The DmplMd Left Hand. The douirimxl left hand makes good its claims in many cases to be the deftor of the two. The fingers that touch and adjust with such nicety the strings of the violin are surely as cunning as those that move the bow. Tho hand that guides the reins and steers with exactness the horse through the crowded streets is quite as cunning as, one might say much more than, tho band that wields the wmp. uut great is zasmon: unan swerable is theory. It would appear that as life becomes more and more complex we are be coming more and more specialized, and the 'difference between our lim its is encouraged rather than hin dered by every screw made in Bir mingham and by every slap admin istered to the offending fingers that would dare to shako hands incorrect ly GTiambeni'Jouriial Collej lioj. of Old.

Seven sheep were on the outoide of tho gate six of the shepherd's flock, the other a strayor. The man wanted his own sheep in, so before opening the gate ho quiet ly said, "Rob, catch the strayer," In an instant Rob pinned tho sheep, holding him, strong and wild as he was, as though he wore in a vise. and thon by another word Gled was told to bring the others in through the gate now opened for thorn, Al though Glod brought his six wild sheep right over Rob and his strayor, the sheep was held securely till tne gate was closed and the order given to "lot it gang." uor. ixmoou ispeo tator. , Alwayi So. , Cass (to Bass, who has perpetrated witticism) Rather an old joke that.
