Free traders please take notice. Ex-Skcketary Bayard has writ ten a most vigorous letter denounc ing the free silver drift in the democratic party. Mr. Cleve land's silence is more marked by contrast. As a free-trader and a man op posed to fostering home industries, Mr. Cleveland very logically and consistently is opposed to protect ing Mr. Hill's machine-made dele gation to the Chicago convention. A few ot the democratic journ als of the state are advocating a fusion of the democracy with the farmers' alliance in order to van quish the natural enemy of both in the comming election. Wel come.

Everything has increased in value in this country except the democratic party. An event which took place in April, 18G5, sent up the value of American properly, American character, and Ameri can patriotism to a very high point, and wherever the republi can party has stood from that day to this that character has never gone down in the scale, and while the republican party remains in power it never will. Gen. C. II. Grosveuoiv A hundred thousand children of Denmark, with their penny con tributions, have procured a crown gold to be presented to the king and- queen on their golden wedding day. The gift is wrought to represent corn ears and clover leaves, and interlaced with a rib bon, bearing the inscription, "The children of Denmark have woven this crown for the occasion of the golden wedding of King Christian IX and Queen Louise on May 22, 1892." There are more paupers, sup ported at the public expense, in free-trade England than in any country on earth and vastly more pauperism in proportion to popula tion. Does this condition of the toiling mass speak well for free trade. On the other hand, there are vastly fewer publicly sup ported paupers and infinitely Jess pauperism in proportion to popu lation in the United States than in any other country. Protection rescues the laboring masses from poverty.

Among other things that are how agitating the minds of the professors' of tha state agricultural college as wejl as the farmers of Oregon and. Washington is the cultivation of the sugar beet and the production of sugar. The grange and other organizations are taking this matter m hand and will do all in their power to help the agricultural colleges solve the problem of the success and profit of this industry. February of last year Professor P. II. Irish, chemist of the Oregon college sent out seed to about forty farmers with the following instructions regard ing cultivation: Soil. Tin's should, where possi ble, be a light loam, preferably containing some Jime. The land should be well drained. The beet gets the greater part of its food lrom the ground at a depth of eight to twelve inches. Hence freedom from excess of water is necessary. Preparation of Land. The land selected should have been plowed the fall before planting the seed. As soon as it can be nronerlv worked in the. spring the land should be plowed again, this time to the depth of about one font. Allow to lie until about one week before the time for seeding. Then plow once more to the depth of icrtir or five inches, and work the soil up into a fine and light condi tion (i. e.. do not 'pack it down with a drag). After allowing the land to lie about five or seven days, plant the seed. The object of allowing the land to lie is that sufficient moisture may be drawn from below for (he germination of the plant, and that the land may be warmed by the sun, after pul verization. No manure should be applied unless in the shape Of a well-rotted compost, put on in the fall. In ordinary soil the rows should be eighteen inches anart. In very rich less; and in poor soil more than that distance apart. The conditions should be such that the ueets cannot attain a greater weight than two pounds each. The seed should be planted one-half to three quarters of an inch deep, and about twenty pounds of seed used to the acre. Plant, where possible, in April. Cultivation. This must be thorough, and should begin as soon as the beet plants show in the row. When the beet plants put out four leaves thin them out so as to leave the plants standing about four to six inches (not any farther) apart in the rows. The weeds should be kept down and the ground well stirred. It should be remembered that a beet which grows up out of the ground is worthless for sugar, also that the beets must not attain to a weight greater than two pounds apiece and must be smooth 'and. tapering in shape. Prof. Shaw, who now has charge oi chemistry and analyzed the beets was greatly disappointed that the farmers in many cases failed to follow instructions with regard to cultivation and makin complete reports. mere were about half of them never sent any ueets or made any report what ever. In analyzing the specimens sent they were, found to vary in sugar in the juice" from 6.77 to 22.44 per cent.- with an yield of fifteen tons per acre. lhe soil and climate of this slate compare favorably with other portions or the world where the beet is raised with profit, and from Bcuc"" appearances an mat is now necessarry in order to have an unlimited supply of the sweets grown and manufactured at out door is for the farmers to take hold in dead earnest raising -the plants, and for the capitalists to co-operate and manufacture it into sugar after it has been raised. Here is a fine opening for a man or company with means to knock out the sugar company which is so rapidly coining money in the United States. Pacific Farmer. Sojie idea of the recklessness that controlled Argentine finances may be had by considering lhat the national, provincial arid muni cipal debts of the country in creased from $100,900,000 in 1834 to $i4i,500,000 in 1890. Add to this liabilities on the score of in controvertible currency and state guarantees, and the grand total rises to $888,560,000. The annual interest charge on this debt is $46,500,000 a sum larger than the whole revenue of the nation at present.

Ho line iad a pleasant holiday at home since he left Washington in such a fury, and when he comes back le will doubtless be in a better minor than he was then, so that the difficulties between the two countries can probably be settled without further display of illfeel- ElllIiTAUsM. Important information has been given out from Washington that an agreement for an international monetary conference has prac tically been made. The United States, England, France and Ger many are to join in a conference on the the bimetal currency. If these four great nations should . agree on and establish an international ratio between gold and silver, the silver coinage prob lem would be solved. The credit of these nations keep good the the paper issued on silver, even i its bullion value declined farther than it has done. The fault of bimetalism is the difficulty with which it can be maintained. Jfhe bullion values of gold and silver, following the law of supply and demand, part company; the more . valuable metal is withdrawn from circula I tion and hoarded or used in the arts; the cheaper metal remains in circulation, and mouometalism is established. For a period of time in the history of the country the bullion dollar was a little greater than the bullion value of the gold dollar, and the silver dol lar, for that reason was not in cir culation. If we now had unlim ited free coinage, with the bullion value of the silver dollar thirty per cent, less than the bullion value of the gold dollar, gold would disappear from circulation and silver monometalism would be established. What honest, in telligent people want is gold and silver, and paper based on them, and all at par. This they can have, either under limited coinage like that ot France or the United States, or under unlimited coinage at an established international ratio. Ex. During several hundred years England protected her manufac turing interests rigidly and at all points, using some extraordinary measures for that purpose, until sue had attained an undisputed supremacy in the markets of the world. During the last forty-six years, under free trade, she has lost this supremacj'. The United States, after thirty years of pro- J tection, takes the lion's share of the trade of England's greatest dependency, Canada, while this country. and Germany are driving her manufacturers to the wall in our own market, and her capital is seeking foreign investments, to say nothing of her ruined agri culture and tlie pauperized mil lions of her laboring classes. Free trade is the most oppressive tax on earth. London political gossip sa's that Mr. Gladstone is so certain of a liberal triumph at the next par liamentary general election, and of his consequent return to power as prime minister, that he has 'already settled his administration and general preferments. Sir Charles Russell will become lord chancellor of Ireland; Sir William Harcourt, lord chancellor of Eng land; Mr. Reed, Q. C, attorney general, and the Hon. Bernard Coleridge, solicitor general. The most remarkable appointment is certainly that of Sir William Harcourt, who, in assenting to such an arrangement, must regard his succession to the leadership of the Gladstonian party as ex tremely problematical. ' A year ago the English milling and other journals were quite sure that the English millers, who were then able to undersell American millers in English markets, were in a position to keep on doing so. Now the same papers complain that the American millers have been underselling the English mil- Jers ever since the first of last beptember. It is impossible for tne millers of any country to be independent of crops . in making the prices of their flours, and that is a utile truth which our English friends forget regularly with everv cuaure u uie irener.il sitiinhrm wrought by climatic chanjres and variations. The Milling World, lsuuaio, in. i. Alii oluciv oi silver in tne prin cipal countries ot the world, exclu sive of the United States, approxi mates $3,397,000,000, of which $2,930,000,000 are full legal ten ter coin and $467,000,000 subsi diary or limited-tender coin. The stock of full legal-tender silver coins (not taking into account any subsidiary or divisionary coins) in the principal countries of Europe approximates $1,100,000,000, of which some $430,000,000 are stored in the vaults of five bank ing houses. The S. F.

''The reciprocity policy has re ceived first and last the highest sanction of public opinion at home and abroad," very, justly says the New York Tribune. '-The repub lican majority in the last congress adopted it upon the recommend a tion of an international consxes.- representing - every independent state on the continent. Producer. and merchants throughout th'. Union have welcomed it as a busi nesslike method of opening. lor eign markets and increasing the volume of export trade. Th United States supreme court Ims Critically examined the text of lh reciprocity amendment and al firmed its constitutionality. TJi new commercial policy - lias-' beei subject to practical tests in lh conventions with Brazil -and th. Spanish West Indies, and the trad, statistics have demonstrated ai once its utility and efficiency in enlarging the demand for American products and manufactures. Red procity is popular with all busi ness classes in the United States. Democratic leaders in congress are not lacking in recklessness, bu 1 1 hey are warned by public opinion thai any attempt on their part to ob struct or reverse the reciprocity policy will be angrily, resented bv the country." The naval committees of the louse of representatives has re ported a naval appropriation bill which is less by $3,407,816 than the official estimates of the needs of the department call for. The construction of one new vessel of the class of the New York is pro vided lor, but the recommendation of several officials that several bat tle ships of large proportions and adequate power should be immedi ately begun, as necessary to the' sea equipment of the nation for pur poses offensive and defensive, was entirely ignored. This may suit the narrow ideas of corn-field economy and partisan reform, but it does not accord with the intelligent public sentiment of the '.nation, which is in favor of building a navy ot sufficient size and power to protect our sea coasts, and, if casion requires, defend our national rights against bullies with battle ships at their command.

Telegram. - The democrats were just as positive, that the McKinley bill was unconstitutional as they were that it was ruinous and would utterly destroy the foreign trade of the country. - The supreme court has explained how badly they were mistaken on the first point, and has shown that the law is constitutional and valid in every particular. The figures giving the exports and imports for the last year show a great growth instead of falling off in the foreign trade, and conclusively dispose of the second objection the' democrats made to McKinley tariff.
