The republican paper resisted the Im'
provoment in businosg as long as tliey
were able. They were unwilling to au
nilt that improvement wag taking
place. They made themselves ridiculous
by calamity howls even after their now
columns announced the unmistakable
improvement In business. Now that
they deem it inexpedient longer to deny
the fact, they insist that the democratic
party is not entitled to any credit for it
The new attitude it as untenable and
. inconsistent as the old one. Repub-
licans have always maintained that
whatever happened uudor republican
rule was due to republican rule, always
provided it was favorable. They have
insisted that whatever occurs under a
democratic administration is due to the
acts of that administration, provided al
ways it is in the nature, of. disaster. But
those two positions can not be held
together. They are absurd. If the
republicans are entitled to credit for
prosperity when they are in power, so
are the democrats under similar con'
ditions. Tiiey held the democrats re
sponsible for b panic which begun and
ran much of its course before the demo
crats had legislated at all. This wait,
of course, altogether unjust and un
reasonable. But after the party had
perfected all the legislation that it was
able to perfect, republican papers and
politicians said the laws passed, es
pecially the tar.iT bill, would ruin the
country. The admit that the tariff bill
can not be changed for two years, but
still they insist that it has had nothing
to do with the return of prosperity. In
Baying this, they ignore or repudiate
the arguments which they have been
using for twenty years.
Acute observers known very well that
we woro near a panic in February last,
and that the action of the administra
tion averted it. This action was de
nounced by republicans at the time,
but business interests have been on the
up-grade evor since. For this the
democratic administration is entitled
to the whole credit. To deny it is to
cast reflection on one's own intelligence .
LONDON PRICE RECORD 1IR0KEN.
It is supposed by some that the low
prices prevailing in the United States
last year were due to local causes, such
as bad politics, of. which we had a
superfluity, as few are disposed to deny.
This was not the caso, however. The
depression was general. It prevailed
throughout. Europe, and tables recently
published by such celebrated statis
ticians as Sauerbeck shows that English
prices were lower than they have been
during the generation.
Taking 45 leading commodities Mr.
Sauerbeck compared their prices with
the average prices prevailing in England
during the period of 11 years from 1867
to 1877, an average which corresponds
with that of the quarter of a century
preceding.
It was thus found that last year's
London prices were 7,'a per cent, below
those of the preceding year, 9 per cent,
below those of the preceding ten years,
20 per cent, below the ten years from
1878 to 1887 and 37 per cent, below the
average of the 11 years between 1807
and 1877. "The decline during the past
year," says Mr. Sauerbeck, "extended
to all conimodit;ea, and in no case whs
it less than G per cent."
Out of the 45 articles examined the
prices of 10 were the lowest quoted in
the London market during the century,
and these included such staples as wheat,
flour, rice, sugar, lead, cotton, juto, tlnx,
merino wool, Bilk and soda, while others,
including tea, coffee and petroleum,
'"were as low us in any preceding year
or lower."
The significance of those facts cannot
be overestimated. Tlio authority on
which they are stated is the highest,
and it is po recognized by the United
States treasury department, which
indorses it in a recent bulletin.
Tho Sauerbeck tables show a steady
decline in London prices, culminating
last year in the unprecedentedly low
price of nearly every article which the
people of England buy from America
ami other countries.
Gknkral Muster Workman Sovereign
ha appealed to the people to "boycott"
all national bank notes, refusing to re
ceive them after Sept. 1, 18H5. As the
national hank note Is redeemable In
greenbacks and will buy everything that
a greenback will buy, this is very much
like asking hungry men to boycott their
dinners when mutton rather than beef
happens to bo the roast, We do think
the average workingman will do what
Mr. Sovereign proposes, because we
entertain a higher opinion of the averago
wirkingmau's common sense than Sov
ereign does .

SO CONVENTION.
No good reason whatever can be
advanced, says the Welcome, for calling
a democratic state convention this
month or this full, to discuss the silver
question, or for any other purpose.
Such action would be impolitic, what
ever the result. There is no apparent
desire on the part of the voters for such
a convention. Some democrats who
favor free coinage of silver may wish it,
but ii thoir cause is good, it will surely
keep till next spring.
The holding of such a convention,
whether considered as to the time or
purpose, would be contrary to usage,
inexpedient, vaiu and foolish. The
action of such a convention would J
really be of no authority or vitality, be
cause there is do business for a con
vention to do, no duties for it to perform
Any declaration it made would not be
building up even the most loyal and
"regular" democratic voter next year.
At the usual and proer time when
congressmen are to be nominated, the
democratic state convention will define
the position of the party in this
state, and make such declarations as
it sees fit. If the party, already in a
minority, is to be broken in two, that is
time enough to do it.
Neither is there the slightest occasion
for a n eeting of the central committee
though that is of no consequence, pro
viding they do nothing, and say as
little as possible.
Against Silver.
Dr. V. E. Carll, of Oregon City, mem
ber of the democratic stale central
committee for Clackamas county. Bonds
the following letter to" Secretary
Nupoleon Davis, of the committee, re
lative to a silver convention :
"Okkoon City, Or., July 17.
"Napoleon Davis, Secretary Dem
ocratic State Central Committee Dear
Sir: In answer to your questions, 'Do
you favor a meeting of our state central
committee? If so, when?' 1 do favor
such a meeting, the sooner the better
" 'Are you m favor of calling a stato
convention, headed bv democrats, (or
the purpose of adopting a declaration
regarding silver?' If they adopt the
right sort of declaration, yes, 1 am in
favor of it, but I do not see what declara
tions are necessary. Our president,
with the aid of Secretary Carlisle, has
made nil necessary declarations, und all
I would say would lie, 'Let the guod
work go on . '
" 'What is the sentiment of your
county concerning silver and its place
in tlie" monetary system of the United
States?'
"The sentiment here is, I think, not
much dill'erent from most counties.
The populists, or Hat-money parly, are
of tiie same opinion still, although thi
approach of good times and belter prices
shukes their faith a little. The repub
licans have as many dill'erent factious

aro (or sound money as expounded by
the Orrgunittn; the Mitchell wing are for
Milclieilism, whatever that is, und
another quite largo faction are ready to
fall in on either side, just so they win.
" 'The democrats who are cr who
would be ofliceholders were for a time
nuile rampant for freo silver, and had
quite a following among tho populists;
hut since the Mill, hiiiuii voice oi mo
administration lias gone forth, you could
not get un opinion out of them Willi a

money question in this county today
would, without doubt, lean It in a victory
for the silveriles. A ranvaison political

ctv. (leguminous crops), actually en
riches tho soil iu nitrogen drawn from
tho uir. It is tho cheapest means of
nuinuring tho soil with nitrogen.
But animals us well as plants re
qniro nitrogen for fixal. By feeding the
crops of clover, cow pens, etc., only about
one-fourth of tho fertilizing materials of
the crop is lost if tho manure is proper
ly cored for. The leguminous crop is
best utilized when it is fed on tho farm
and tho manuro saved und applied to
tho soiL The greatest profit is thus se
cured, und nearly tho same fertility is
maintained us in green manuring.
For renovating worn or barren soils,
and for maintaining tho fertility where
tho bnruyiird manuro is nut properly
enroll for, green manuring with such le
guminous cropB as cow peas, clovers and
lupines is recommended. A dressing of
potash und phosphates will usually be
sufliciont for the green immuring crop.
Tho practice of green manuring on me
dium and better classes of soils is irra
tional and wasteful.
Tho system of soiling or feeding green
crops in the barn in place of pasturago
enables a larger number of animals to be
kept on a given area of land and tho
manuro to be more completely saved.
For this purpose legnminous crops nre
extremely valuable. Hny from legumi
nous crops is about twice ns rich in pro
tein ns hny from grasses. Leguminous
crops yield larger crops of buy to the
aero than grasses. Hence tho production
of footl imiteriuls on an acre, especially
protein, is several times larger with le
guminous crops.
If allowed to ripen, tho seed of tho
cow pea and soja bean furnishes au ex
tremely rich concentrated feed which
can be grotnd and fed in place of expen
sive commercial feeds. The Btraw re
ninining may bo fed ns coarse fodder,
for it is richer than ordinary hny. Grow
moro leguminous crops. Tlioy furnish
tho cheapest food for stock nnd the
cheapest uiunnro for the soiL They do
this because they obtain from tho air a
substance uecesssiry for plants and ani
mals alike, which costs in tho form of
fertilizers ud feeding stuffs from 15
to 25 cents a pound.

Experiments With Oata.
The Minnesota station reports the les
sons to be drawn from one experiment,
so far as a singlo trial can be relied
upon, are that tho more compact we
make our seed bed and lower part of tho
furrow slice and the more perfect tho
shallow "dust blanket" the better wo
can save what moisture is in the soil
and apply it to the nso of the growing
crop at the time of germination and
stooling when it needs most water. By
the timo the grain has got past the ger
minating and stooling period tho capil
lary notion which was interrupted by
the plow has resumed operation and is
ready to supply moisture from below.
Whilo a shallow "dnst blanket" is evi
dently a benefit to dry soils, it can read
ily be seen that a "blanket" three
inches deep in which to deposit seed
niny lie a detriment.
Cow P(2ta and rralrle (.ras-a.
From the Oklahoma station comes a
report of the analyses of Whippoorwill
cow peas at five differeut stages and of
prairie grass, "composed almost wholly
of bine stem and joint grass," nt three
different cnttings. With reference to
the cow pea, resnlts indicate that for a
good hoy tho peas, including vines,
leaves and pons, shomu bo harvester! as
soon as the peas have matured iu the
pods. Should the crop 1h late, it is bet
ter to cut before complete maturity than
to delay the harvesting until a heav
frost lins killed the vines ami leaves.
An examination of the analyses of
prairie grass shows tho earlier cnttiug
to be much richer in protein and fat;
also to contain moro fat and fiber than
Kentucky blue grass, bat not as much
carbohydrates.
