The Resumption Fraud.

The purpose of Secretary SHERMAN to
evade that part Of the Resumption Act
which requires all legal tender notes re.
ceived by him to be Immediately reis-
sued, has been manifest for months. ItI
has been stoutlv and persistently main
tanned by the West that resuu ption un-
der the law would result in a collapse of
the scheme, and hence people were to
come extent prepared for device for Its
evasion.
But they were not prepared to have
his leading organ, the New York Times,
right on the eve Of the law going into
effect, make 80 bold a declaration OF in
tention as the following:
so long as the Treasury is guided hy
the principles which Mr. Sherman has
set for the conduct Of his administration
there need he no apprehension as to the
result. These principles are the mainte-
nance Of a reserve Of gold in the Treas.
ury ample 10 continue, redemption ol

ldepreciated silver into circulation against
the wishes and the interests OF the busi
ness cornmnnity, and finally The ehsissier
! to cnrry out the provision of e1istsng lau
,chich requires The immediate reissue ana
the keeping in circulation of the redeemec
legal tenders A firm adherence to thes'
|. cariiIal points OF the Treasury polio,
secures practically the execution OF th'
redemption scheme as it stood before th'
tpassage OF the Silver bill in February
fiS7S That is to say, the legal tendet
are actually excbangAbls for gold at tn
will Of the holder, ,ohile the redeemed
notes are. an practice retired, and the &C
cumulaiion of silver is locked within tn
vaults of the Treasury"
There is, no evasion about.that.- 1t 4
simply an impudent proclamation tha

announcement that the capitalists ar
strong enough to defy q law of Con

to he mere device for retiring th'
greenbacks from circulation. and fo
making through this cunningiy devise'

So this pretended resumption is no
| only cheat and fraud but an outlaw.

The Shot-Gun Policy and the STAR
yatiOn Policy.

Secretary SHERMAN has formulated a
doctrine. of which the Republican party
coolly claims the monopoly, 10 these
words:
"All rights of all citzans guaranteed
by the Cons tuition must be secured"
This doctrine is sound, and nobody
disputes it. But although Mr. SHER
MANS party proclaim themselves to he
it's sole champions. while they felt they
bad the power to do 80 they confined
its operations exclusively to negroes, or
at most to persons voting the Republi-
can ticket.
From the time when third Of the
people OF one section we're distranchised
by Republican law. leaving them prey
to the raparity OF a majority OF the re-
mairder; through the time when thou
sands Of legal votes were thrown ont by
rascalty Retsrning Boards; ard on
shrough the time when an 8 by T. Eec-
toral Commission refused to take cogni-
zauce Of fraud, and up to the last refined
bulldozng in Massachusetts, there can
not be found an instance where Repsb.
lican power has lifted straw to secure
the constitutional rights of Democratic
voter, except when driven to undo their
own wrongs.
For long series OF years these ''rights
guaranteed BY the Constitution" have
been systematically subverted in the
manufacturing States and cities, and no,
tably In Massachusetts. 1t has not been
exactly ..shot.gun policy" the fact be-
ing that there has been, literally, no such
policy anywhere; but it is and has been
a ..starvation policy 80.
It is claimed that in the South. threats
of personal violence have been employ ed
to inumidate voters. This method would
not be in keeping with the puritanism
and culture of refined Massachusetts,
There they merely inform the citizen
who is possessed Of "the rights guaran
teed by the Constitution" that il he does
not vote to suit them be will be turned
out to starve. The high.tariff, hard
money employers say to the employed.
"vote as lido or be discharged" This
leaves to the citizen with the "sacred
RIGHTS" q choice between surrendering
his rights or seeing his family starve.
As a bulldozing process the "starva.
tion policy" possesses some advantages
over the "shot-gun policy" In the frs,
place 1t is not SO rude, is equally effect
i've, snd there is less danger in pursuing
1t Oh getting o broken bead. In the sec.
ond place IL is perfectly secure agains,
any animadversions from the party which
is going around securing to people their
rights. ,.ss.
I Possibly sectiensr animosities may
soon 80 far subside that we will all learn
that "the rights guaranteed by sheCon,
stitution" inclnde little more than the
right 10 vote the Republican, ticket, and
that the "starvation policy" is quste as
reprehensible. as the .'shot gun" policy.

A writer in Scribner's Nagazine asserts that
the farmer, having the most sane and natural
occupation, ought to find life pleasant. He
alone, strictly speaking, has home. How
can man take root and thrive without land :?
He writes his history upon his field. How
many ties and resources he has his friendships
with his cattle his team, his dog, his trees !;
his satisfaction in his growing crops, in his
improved fields; his intimacy with nature,
with bird and beast, and with the quickening
elemental forces; his cooperation with the
cloud, the sun, the seasons, heat, wind, ram,
frost Nothing will take the various social
aistempers which the city and artificial life
breed, out of a man like farming, like direct
and loving contact with the soil. 1t draws
out the poison. 1t humbles him; teaches him
patience and reverence, and restores the proper
zone to his system. Cling to the farm; make
much Of it; put yourself in it; bestow your
heart and your brain upon 1t, so that it shall
SAVIOR of you and radate your virtue after
your days work is done.

The BEST FooD-Wheat consists, roughly
speaking, of the outer husk, which forms the
bran; of the lnnermost "starchy" substance,
which forms white flour and white bread; and
of certain valuable intermediate products, sep.
arated from white flour and sometimes given
to fatten pigs These Intermediary mill pro
ducts, nclosing the white flour, are denomlna-
ted respectively, specks, topplngs, fine mid
dllngs, sharps and pollard, and are all much
richer in nitrogen, oil and mineral matters
than the central or floury portion of the grain.
Psychologists and physicians tell us that the
human body must have its various consitu-
ents presented to it IN its food; but Nature
knew that before they cid, and when she made

was needed for healthy nutriment Good

NUrRITIvE VALUE OF WHEAT MEAI.-The
LondoM Dietetic Rs0rmer shows by scientific
data, that wheat meal, which Is cheaper than
bOlted meal or fine flour, contains onethiru
more nutrment than flour does, from which
the bran has been sifted. Fine flour, accord
ing to this journal, is not food at ALL in the
proper sense of the term-that Is, the elements
of the grain which are separated in the pro-
cess of boiling being essential to perfect nu-
triton. those who use fine flour are obliged to
subsiSt on other things or lose their health /;
that no one, therefore, who makes bakers bread
