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

Mr. Cleveland very logically and
consistently is opposed to protect

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.

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

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

to $i4i,500,000 in 1890. Add to
this liabilities on the score of in

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

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

''The reciprocity policy has re

New York Tribune. '-The repub
