The Presidents message is before the
people and Is subject to the usual
comment. 1t is thoroughly partisan
in Its make up, with nothing partic-
ularly startling nor any abrupt devia-
ton from the usual, to make it prom
inent. He commends in general the
action of the party leaders during the
past session of Congress. He endorses
the present silver bill, believing that in
time it will meet the full approval of
the most radical advocates of free COIN
age. He asserts it to be his opinion
that the tariff measure also will meet
the full requirements of the exigency
when fully tested. Its permanent
effect upon trade and prices still stands
in conjecture. Prices have advanced

how fully congress responds to the
Presidents appeal to hasten all needed
legislation. Bills and measures are
coming In thick and fast, and the effect
Of the late elections can be easily traced
in their action. On the silver question
alone three measures have been pre-

Of silver. The fight has opened again
on the pension bill and the election

ever, being braced by the political
change lately felt, will fight to keep
down these proposed measurers. The

Too Much "Fergitting" for Him.

read in a very crude way, and to
whom he had offered IS if he
would read the Bible through to
the end. Gabe accepted the offer,
and took away with him a brand
new Bible, and began his wrestle
with the Scriptures. Two weeks
later Gabe returned, Bible in
hand.
"Well, Gabe, how did you like
the book?" Gabe hesitated to re-
ply and vas pressed further.
"Well, Marse Colquitt, I tells
you how it is. [ don't like de book
nohow."

A bill is before congress which

A bill is before congress which
by its provisions requires the cen
sus takers, this year, to gather
statistics showing the number of
farms in the United States that
are under mortgage and the
amounts they are mortgaged to Sc
cure. Such statistics would be in
teresting and instructive, as show
ing the practical results ofour pre-
sent protective tariff, upon our
greatest industry. The alarming
extent to which the farms of the
United States have been put under
mortgage is matter of public no.
toriety, and no one who cares to
know the cause, can fail to find it,
ina protective tariff, which dis
eliminates unjustly against the
agricultural interests of the coun-
try. Agriculture is the founda-
ton and support of all our other
industries, and without stopping
to discuss the fallacy of the whole
theory of protection, which seeks
to control and subvert the natur-
al laws of supply and demand, we
do say that all legislation which
discriminate against our farming
and which handicaps
them with a heavy duty to sup
port other industries, is not only
unjust but suicidal. Just in the
proportion that you weaken the
foundation you endanger the
whole industrial fabric. The farm
ers are in the majority in the Uni
ted States and if they could only /
be brought to see the burdens
that are bound upon them, and to
cast them off, better era would |
lawn for them and for the whole
country.

sine fronts or elegant villa resi-
deees, with all the modern i'm
prosments. Consequently, i'll the
dead OF winter, their ffurnaee
grateaever break down, their fiat
roofs ever leak, their water pipes

windoss are never broken, their
dumb Faiters never give out, their
patent burglar-alarms never go
off at the wrong time. Their
coachmn never get drunk, nor
careless servants break their
China. In fact, one of the chief
pleasur,s ofpoverty is exemption
from tn, affection of servants. No

La Grippe-A Few Pointers.

Persons who have a cold are much
mord Likely to take the influenza or 50
called, la grippe.
1t is mucn more severe when accompa-
MED by cold.
The most critical time is hen recover
ing from the disease, as slight exposure
will often cause relapse and that is
almost certain to end in lung fever or
pneumonia.
The feet should be kept dry and warm,
the body well clothed and care used TO
avoid exposure.
The bowels should be kept regular and
persons physically weak should take qui-
nine to keep the vitality.
With these precautions and a free use of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy a prompt
recoveryis reasonably certain. That rem.
eay is uneqnalled for severe cold and
this disease requires precisely the same

Senator Wilson says that the
farms of Iowa are mortgaged for
S65, 100000, and Senator Reagan
wants an inquiry made to ascer-
tain the total amount for which all
the farms in the United States are
mortgaged. 1t wonld be well
enough to inquire what proportion
of these mortgages represent part
of the purchase price of these
farms. The inquiry might also
be extended so as to embrace the
statistics of mortgages on real es-
tate in towns and cities, to see
how the Indebtedness of the city
proprietors compares with that of
country property. Also, the rail-
roads might be included; also the
mills, mines, factories and ether
industrial institutions, The re-
suit would probably show that we
are much mortgaged people,
with no marked difference in the
burden of debt among those who
pursue the various vocations of
life. The margin of wealth, how
ever, is no doubt in the main
healthy and would show greater
prosperity per capita than any
other people under the sun, which
ought to be satisfactory except to
those who want the earth and the
