More than three bales of cotton is re-
ouired now to purchase the same
amount of money that one purchased
in 1869. Money has become more than
three times as valuable compared to
cotton and perhaps equally so COM
pared to all products Of labor. A debt
made in 1869 with the expectation of
paying it with cotton at s5 cents per
pound has become more than three
times as onerous as when it was con-
tracted. Such debtors have already
become practi :ally enslavet to the
money lender.
The value of money is now too high
and prices of produce too low. Acoun-
try is not in healthy condition when
a farmer cannot by honest labor make
a decent living and educate his family.
If the fault is not in the soil it must be
in the monetary system. 1t cannot be
our soil, for the complaint of,nortgaged
homes and stagnation of agricultural
enterprise comes from every section of
our country.
Our leaders understand hesituation,
and at our last National meeting the
following policy was adopted to give
relief to the country.
ave demand that the United States
government modify its present flnan-
cial system.
ssl. So as to allow the free and un-
limited coinage of silver or the issue OF
silver certificates against all unlimited
deposit of bullion.
-. That the system Of using certain
banks as United States repositories be
abolished, and in place Of said system
establish in every county in each OF the
States that offers for sale during the
one year five hundred thousand dollars
worth Of farm products including
wheat, corn, oats, barley, rye, rice, to-
bacco. cotton, wool and sugar all to-
gether, q sub-treasury office, which
shall have in connection with 1t such
warehouses or elevators as are necessary
for carefully storing and preserving
! such agricultural products as are ollereu

of such sub-treasury department to re-
ceive such agricultural products as are
offered for storage and make careful
examination for such products, and
class the same lis to quality and give q
certificate Of deposit showing the
amount and quality, and that United

of the products deposited has been ad-
yauced on same on interest at the rate
of one per cent. per annum, on the con-
dition that the owner, or such other
person -as he may authorize, will re-
deem the agricultural products within
twelve months from date of certificate,
or the trustee will sell same at public
auction to the highest bidder for the
purpose Of satisfying the debt. Besides
the one per cent. interest the sub
treasurer should be allowed to charge
a trihe for handling and storage, and a
reasonable amount for insurance; but
the premises necessary for conducting
this business should be secured by the

1t Depends on the Liver

SIS life worth lving"? somebody
asked, and the facetious reply was,
THAT depends on the liver" Health
and happiness are twined together. If
a mans liver is out of order, his whole
system is deranged. He suffers from
top to toe. This is the time to take DR..
Picrce's Pleasant Pellets. These effica-
cous little globules are as much in ad-
vance of the oid-fashioned, gripping,
drastic pills as electric lights are ahead
of q wick stuck in whale oil.

Very respectfully and fraternally,
We do not pretend to any theory or

These phenomena are to be daily wit

Of the disturbance is unseen and ethe-

talk of the absurdity of these manifes-

aware that the greatest discoveries in

Death of Congressman Kelley.

[By Telegraph to The Daily News.]
WAsHlSGToS, D. c., Jan. 9.-Judge
William D. Kelley, of Pennsylvania,
died at go o'clock this evening. He
was the oldest member Of the House of
Representatives in years and contin-
uous, service having been elected to
fifteen successive Congresses. Recent
ly cancer on the jaw, which he had
removed several years ago, reappeared
and probably shortened his life, but the
immediate cause of his death was in
testinal catarrh of recent origin.

With this method in vogue the farmer,
when his produce was harvested, would
place it in storage where it would be
perfectly safe, and he would secure four
tifths Of it's value to supply his pressing
necessity for money at one per cent.
per annum. He would negotiate or
sell his warehouse or elevator certificate
whenever the current price suited him,
receiving from the person to whom ne
sold only the difference between the
price agreed upon and the amount al
ready paid by the sub-treasurer. When,
however, these storage certificates
reached the hands of the miller or fac
tory or other consumer, he to get the
product would have to return to the
sub-treasurer the sum Of money ad-
vanced, together with the interest on
the same and the storage and insurance
charges on the product. This is no
new or untried scheme; it is safe and
conservative; it harmoniZes and carries
out the system already in vogue Oh a
really safe plan, because the products
of the country that must be consumed
every year are really the very best Sc
curity in the world, and with more
justice to society at large"
No proposition has been made to the
people in the past twenty years that
compares in Importance with this plan.
We now have an opportunity to help
ourselves and should require our Rep
resentatives in Congress to enact these
demands into law. And in the future
we should use the uttermost care to
prevent any one representing us III

fully commit himself to support de-

difference unless they are lacked by a
