The Reliance binder (EIoiland l. Rukke)

With all the modern improvements
That ever you have seen.
The Mccormick opens its ancient jaws
And smiles u CHASTITY smile,
AZ the Reliance IL selected,
Aid leaves for the field in style.
1t rips the grain from the virgin soil,
And clutches the bundle tight,
And ties 1t up with twisted knot,
To the farmers great delight.
II eases the horses and tickles the man,
1t saves your time and wheat,
1t buys your wife seal skin eacque,
And covers your children's feet.

oak has been fcllel until full grown
that is, until within thirty years of
its probable decay. The consumption
of oak timber in France has doubled
during the last fifty years. In 1866,
$40, 000, 600 worth was consumed, of
which 100000 worth was imported
against S., 900, 900 worth consumed in

vine casks, GOO, 600 for her fleet, 100
600 for a railway cars and $50, 900 for
building purposes. In 1896 the total
value of imported slaves was 500, O00;
to-day the total value is S., 000, 000

oak for the next thirty years would
probably double the price France. at

distinctly understood that the Coumer-

tale On the contrary. there is very
strong, unanswered evidence that the
essential details Of that story are true.
We RETAINED from publishing it for the
reason that such journalism is not clean

The Federal Treasury has lost Sf0.-
100000 in gold during the first seven
months of the year, and since May the
gold in the Treasury has sunk from
$40 100000 to SltS,000, 900. The
attempt has been recently made to force
silver on the Boston banks, aad it will
probably be repeated elsewhere. If any
sudden call comes on the Treasury, such
as the large increase in the settlement
Of pensions which Commissioner Dudley
recently promised, an attempt to force
silver on the repositories through WHOM
pension funds are delivered to disburs-
Jag officers will be almost inevitable !
Even this might be managed By thi
