A dispatch from that highly protect- ed city announces that an organiza tion has been effected among the wire and nail manufacturers. This combination, itis stated, will raise prices It has arranged to advance the price of wire nails 5 cents per keg and to make a corresponding elevation in the price of wire One of the articles of manufaeture selected for a particularly steep increase in price by the trust is pat- ented barbed wire, which is to be advanced to 65 cents above the basic rate charged on wire nals. It should be noted that the direct tax imposed upon the multitude of ecnsumers throughout the United States by this arbitrary advance will amcunt to many millions of dollars and that it will fall principally on the farmers. It should be noted fu:ther that this advance in prices has not been in- augurated for th» purpose of cover- and barbed ing losses in the nail wire trade or for the purpose of higher wages to the men the labor paying engaged in these articles. It is plainly a gigautic bold-up of the consumers by one of the fleck of commercial cormorants that are not only permitte! but encouraged by the of the robber tariff fastened upon the cvuatry by the republican party.—Republic of makiog incentive In Oak stoves we haves the cele brated Superior aud Gem, which for style of finish, gcod mounting can not be excelled by any stove in tke market avd rt prices to suit every one. Frank Sarra & Sox S-erctary of Agriculture Wilson says that whenever wheat reachcs 80 cents a bushel, farmera will com merc sell. That's fairly good logic for a republican. Now will the Secretary tell us some- thing xbout why wheat is only bringiog 50 cents a bushel when he and a lot of other republican wind jammers sought to convince the people that dollar wheat, Dingley tariff acd the gold standard were an inseparable trinity? With crop shortages every where, why isn’t the wheat market on the jump? If you bave info:mation to impart, Mr. Secretary, don’t tell us what the farmers are going to do when wheat is 80 centsa bushel. We want to be shown why wheat isn’t worth a dollar a bushel right now!—Clinton Democrat. raising it to For a good air tight coal heater there is no stove that can equal the Moores air tight, a stove that will heat the floor as well as the ceiling, and a first class fire keeper as well as heater.

As he has made arrange- ments for delivering 69 campaign speeches for this state it is evident that he will not have much time to spare for other states.

The issues involve not only the material welfore of grand old Mis souri, but farther--a United States Senator is to be elected by the next Legislature. Hence, while republicans have little or no hope of electing any state officer, there is no doubt that the republicans are directing & vigorous fight to capture legislative districts, with the hope of defeating that stalwart cld demoorat and rugged statesman, Frank Cockrell. If the republicans can, by combi nation, schemes and a slush fund get centro! of the next legislature, a millionaire railroad magnate like Kerens, or some pliant tool of cor- porate power, would unquestionably be chosen. Instead of a democrat for silver, the republicans would displace him with a gold bug and defender of trusts. The issues are vital and far-reach ing in results. Oan any democrat, therefore, become indifferent to the county, legislative, senatorial, con- gressional or state ticket? Not by any means. Democrats should organize for decisive victory all along the line. Our line of Groceries is more com plete than eyer.

The following is General Bacon's latest dispatch: Walker, Mion., via Brainerd, Oct. 7.—Arrived here at noon with my detachment in good condition.

Bacon, We Must Take All or None, Tacoma, Wash , Oct. 9.—Japanese papers strongly favor the retention of the Philippines by the United States. The following editorial statement from the Japan Herald is similar to the utterances of many Japanese papers: “McKinley's tentative suggestion that Luzen only could be retained does not commend itself to the majority. If the United States takes Luzon and keep the door of trade opened upon it, while the Spanish maintain their own monopolistic tariff on the other islands, constant friction, clashing and upheaval would surely result. “Any suggested compromise is impossible or will prove unstable. If the United States should eontent themselyes with a coaling station their position might be tenable, but any extensive foothold and an at- tempted government on one island er part of it will mean endless dis turbance and ultimately force the United States to take and rule the whole group.” St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 6.— The star feature at the Fair grounds yester day was the pacing race between Joe Patchen and John R. Gentry. Patchen won in two straight beats, taking the first by a nose in 2:07 and the second by a length anda quarter in 2:07}. The first heat was very close and exciting. Patchen led all the way in each beat In both heats they scored twice, getting away in the second break each time and in per- fect order. There was no betting. A tale is told of a basbful girl who went into a Chillicothe grocery store the other day, carrying some live chickens.
