Now divide $252 by 300, the num

[Boy figures.] Eighty-four cents
a bushel, pa, is what it coat you.
As it is worth only 60 cents, you
lose 24 cents a bushel.
Now, my son, you see that the
agency that reduced the value of
wheat from $1.35 to 60 cents a
bushel has destroyed the value of
our farm.
We can live on it, can’t we, pa?
Yes, if the mortgage-holder don’t
foreclose and sell us out at sheriff 'a
sale.
If it is put up for sale won’t it
bring more than $1000, pa?
No, I am afraid n ot
Why, pa, I thought our figures a
while ago made it out to be worth
about $4000?
Only apparently so; as an invest
ment it is absolutely worthless. No
safe business man will buy property
that sinks money.
But it is a home, pa.
Yes, but we work harder for our
living than merchants in town. They
work 10 hours a day, we work 12.
When their day’s work is over, they
lay aside cure; I am worried all the
time about the mortgage. What
they spend for luxuries we pay out
for interest and taxes.
I see how it is, pa; I am sorry for
you and mother.
To sum up, my son, when we
bought the farm 740 bushels of
wheat, or seven horses, or 4000
pounds of wool would have paid the
$1000 mortgage. Now to pay it and
the $80 interest will take 1800
bushels of wheat, 12 horses, or 7200
pounds of wool.
We can never pay it, can we, pa?
Not only that, we have paid $880
interest and $1100 taxes in the last
11 years.
Pa, it breaks my heart almost to
think that I can’t g o to the great
fair, when it is so close to us; it is
the opportunity of a lifetime, and I
have been planning to go for two
years, but I shall give it up and try
to help you all I can.
God bless you, my noble boy; but
it is not much use to try. The
money sharks,as Tbad Stevens called
them, will never stop until they own
all our farms. If prices o f our pro
ducts fall half as much in the next
five years as they have in the last
five we will all lose our homes.
Let’s leave the farm, pa, and move
to town. Mr. Jones don't work as
hard and lives better than we do.
They have a good piano and wear
fine clothes and save a little money.
Ah, my son, he is liable to be
thrown out of employment any time.
Our ruinous financial policy is forc
ing the mills to shut down, and
thousands are being thrown out of
work. Bents and living are so high
in town that wage earners soon come
to want when they lose their jobs.
What shall we do, pa? To stay
here is but to earn money for the
mortgage holder.
I know it; the best years of my
life are gone cow. I have thought
seriously of suicide, but—
Don’t— don’t cry, pa.
There is a reason for all these
troubles that have overtaken the
men who work, and when you work
a little less and think a little more
you’ll Bee that the infamous legisla
tion on the money question is at the
bottom of it all. While 60,000,000 Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder

PATENTS
NOTICE TO INVENTORS.
There was never a time in the his
tory of our country when the de-
mnnd for inventions and improve
ments in the arts and sciences gen
erally was so great as now.
The
conveniences of mankind in the fac
tory and workshop, the household,
on the farm, and in official life,
require continual accessions to the
appurtenances nnd implements of
each in order to save labor, time and
expense.
The political change in
the administration of government
does not affect the progress of the
American inventor, who being on
the alert and ready to perceive the
existing deficiencies, does not permit
the affairs of the government to deter
him from quickly conceiving the
remedy to overcome existing discrep
ancies. Too great care cannot be
exercised in choosing a competent
and skillful attorney to prepare and
prosecute an application for patent
Valuable interests have been lost and
destroyed in innumerable instances
by the employment of incompetent
counsel, and especially is this advice
applicable to those who adopt the
“ No patent, no pay” system. Inven
tors who entrust their business to
this class of attorneys do so at im
minent risk, as the breadth and
strength of the patent is never con
sidered in view of a quick endeavor
to get an allowance and obtain
the fee then due.
