conventions have invariably conferred

Eastern Democrat, since 1860. The
time has come, however, when the

superior element in designating a
standard bearer for the National De-

steadfastly given cordial support to
nominees chosen from among Eastern
statesmen, and now test of fidelity

There can be 40 question, but that
one chief cause of the hard times and
scarcity of money now prevailing Is
attributable to the work of the last
Kentucky Legislature, reducing the
rate of interest Oh money in the State
The Legislature attempted to make
money cheap by lowering its interest
price, and 10 so doing drove large
amounts Of money from our section
into other investments. Why? Be
cause, it can ind more profitable em-
ployment elsewhere
The farmer will take his corn, his
wheat. or any other produce to the
market that will pay him the most for
It, And it is precisely true also of
the owner of money-he will invest
his money where and in that that will
pay him best.
Any man can see. that when you
take the local and State tax on money,
aud the trouble aud expense incident
to collecting the same, that it only
pays the capitalist abou' 2 per cent per
aunum 10 loan bis money out at home
to the farmers and business men. Auy
kind of Uuited States bonds is twice
as profitable, and so long as this is
true, the capitalist will loan no money
at home
Here is one Of the great causes Of
the scarcity of money in Kentucky. |
About Hickman, it Is fact, that mon
eyed men are calling in all their loans
hereabouts, and changing their invest
ments to other localities and into
bonds. The consequence is that the
poor man, however good he may be. i
unable to borrow money. The result,
that those who happened TO be pressed
are forced to shave their mortgages
aud notes at 20 and 25 per cent II
our State law justified our moueyed
men in loaniug their money at 10 per
cent. these same partie. could borrow
instead of submitting to shaves OF %
per cent
The argument is made that 10 per
cent will ruin The borrower. That i
true; and IT is equally true. that %

TESTIMONIAL,


To iDhOi u may concern
We, the undersigned, citizens Of Stark Co., have
examined several hundred rods Of patent wired
hedge called "pashing" trained by the "ohio Hedge
Co." being the plan adopted by the stark County
Hedge Co.. and we cheeruly say that for beauty
and durability we have never seen anything even to
compare with them-wlth 80 close base that not
even the smallest pigs can get through. The plants
are bent in the root and laid In an Inclined position,
this forces out shoots all along the main canes these
shoots or branches grow directly upright, 80 inter
locking the main that II iB impossible for them
TO ever get out Of position hence IL Ia impossible for
hedge grown under this plan ever to give way ana
become open at the base, We also examined care
fully and find that the wire in no way Injuries the
plants. The plashed hedges examined by us seem
healthier than hedges Of the same age that have not
been FLASHED, and we would recommend this system
to all farmers believing It to be much the cheapest
method of fencing while 1t will add great beauty to
our homes to have our road sides and avenues lined
with such beautiful fences as this company makes.

CRIME AND CRIMINALS F, B. Sanborn has been
collecting facts regarding crime and criminals in
the United States. The number of convicts are
now twice as great as in 1871 the relative figures
3lOOO and 10000, The greatest increase is in Geor
gla, Tennessee, and several Western States The
number of persons In prison as convicts, or await
ing trial. is 900, Of whom less than onesixh are
women. About 10000 of the whole number are in
New York and 1900 in Massachusetts, where the
proportion of prisoners to population is greater
than in any part of the country. In the South
the higher prisons are made selfsupportiHg by
the labor OF the conVicts, who are leased to con-
tractors, who may employ them anywhere in the
State. In Arkansas the contractor pays nothing,
but meets all expenses, In Tennessee, Georgia
Mississippi stated sums of money, besides ex.
penses, are paid by the contractors.
