The old iron plow that.was drawn by the

The cutting out weeds with a hoe

That made US long 50 for the sound of
the horn,
The old tin resounder that called US to
Flow blest WAS the time that we heard
the tin horn.
And then oamo the haying with weari-
some labor
OF cutting with scythe the grass to
make hay:
OF rakins with hand rake, of pitching
and loading,
And sweating to death as we moved
it away.
Then harvesting grain with long fingered
cradles,
The binding with stiaw--'twas hard
and so slow;
The threshng with fails or trampnr
with oxen,
And cleaning from chatl when a strong
wind would blow.
The old FASHIONED harvest, that awful
hard harvest,
The bach -nr"aking harvest we're will.

How different now are the methods Of
farming!

Stat" Platform Of the Missouri
Democracy of the year 1856 on the
tariff questions:
"l'hat the authority to levy
and collect taxes and du-
lie. or imports was intended to vest
III the general government the pow
or of raising the money necessary
to neet its expenses and Is by the
express term of the constitution
limited to the purpose of paying
the expenses and obligations Of the
government"
eve therefore 1cprecate the pros.
titutIon Of the taxing power under
any prctext or gui>e whatever to
objects aud purposes other than the
purpose of raising revenue, or to
The purpose OF ctlcctlng indirectly
legislation as 20 subjects over which
Congress has no control, as such
legislation tends inevitably to con.
soIidaton and a destruction of the
reserved rights Of the States, and
that tn" building up Of one indus
1ry by n taxation or at the expense
oi another, is foreign to the true
aims of a flee government in which
all the people as to their legal
rights, stand ON an absolutely equal
footing"

The ssi.yc. sf!is.

II APPEARS that the silver bill agreed
upon by the Conference Committee of
Republicans representing both houses,
has been approved hy the administration
and will be put through both houses by
caucus dictaton. The solid Democratic
opposition reinforced by the few Hepub-
licans i"icic dent enough to 'o>t the
caucus will not be stron~ enough 20 de-
tcai 1t or amerd it.
This is simply a bill plr,lgiuy the Gov
ernment to buy and ho),. rs oullion the
entire output % our silver mines and six
or seven millions Of ounces more every
year, ana to stop the runiny Of legal
tender silver dollars within thirty days
after the bill is slgu"d. The silver is to
be paid ior in Treasury notes relcrmable
in legal tender money. but the volume Of
the legal tender money is not to be in
creased by thn issue of any more green
backs or silver dollars. On tn contra
ry it will compel the Treasury to with
draw many millions Of legal tender mou-
e. from circulation and to hold the same
for the redemption Of the nom legal terd-
er silver ne,cS with which our paper cur
'e:.cy is To b. increased, at the rate Of
ever $3V'"1Ooj a year.
The object Of this bill is to stop the
coiring OF ir,al tender silver dollars; to
make the silver output mere commodi-
tv, to preserve the single and constantly
approaching gold standard of values; to
cause gold to appreciate still taste, by
making it sole master Of an increased de-
nland Tor redemption purposes, and to
buy the consent Of the silver producers to
this policy ty making the Government
the purchaser and keeper of their entire
output,
BY enactjne this bill the Hepublicans
will again knock out the silver dollar, in.
tlate the currency further with paper
that is not legal tender and set the bad
precedent OF making the Government the
purchaser and holder of iron, lead or any
other product on the dcmnnd of Distress
ed producers.--I Post Dispatch.
