IsT DOOR SOUTH FIRST NATIONAL BANK
AN HONEST ES...:..

1t Surely is Not the Republican Bob-Tan
Dollar Which is Not Legal Tender Except
BY Contract.
The republican gold-bug press are
harping about an ''honest dollar" and
Mr.. Harrison remarked the other day
that the people of this country wanted
a dollar that was always as good as
any other dollar" This kind of stuff
is got off by way of insinuation that
the peoples party want a dishonest dol
lar, or dollar that is not as good as
any other dollar, while as matter of
fact the only dollars that could by any
stretch of the imagination be consid-
cred dishonest have been made so by
the action of the republican party
alone. The silver dollar has not been
changed an iota since it was issued
under our first coinage law passed
April 2, 1892. The amount of pure
silver in the dollar is exactly the
same as it was then. If it is not
worth so much as a commodity in the
markets, its surreptitious demonetiza-
tion by the republican party in 1878 is
the sole cause of that fact, and its re-
monetization would at once restore it
to its full value. At the time it was
demonetized the silver in the silver
dollar was worth three per cent more
than the gold IN the gold dollar. These
facts prove conclusively that the repub-
lican party is alone responsible for the
present situation of silver.
But the republican party has put an
other dollar in circulation which is the
nearest approach of wildcat money of
any that has been issued since the war,
and which comes very near filing the
definition of dishonest dollar. It is
in the form of treasury note in which
the United Stated promises to pay
the bearer one dollar in coin, which
SO far is very good. But on the
back of it is this legend: "This note
is legal tender for all debts public
and private, except where otherwise
| specified in the contract" This is a
republican bob-tailed dollar. 1t will
not pay debt unless the debtor and
creditor can agree. The creditor can
exact discount on it if he pleases, and
that is just what the gold-bug banks
will be doing before the year is out
And this is the kind of money that a
republican billion dollar congress and
a Wall street gold-bug president is is
suing to the people, at the same time
dinging into their ears fusillade of
ridicule about their demand for a dis
honest dollar. Give us arest.-Lincoln

Tie Importance of Farmers Sticking To-
gether and Trusting Each Other.
The alliance of Alabama cannot un-
derstand many details of the contest
their brethren are waging in the north
and west, and it is probable that the
same is true of the brethren in those
sections as to southern alliancemen;
but when the test comes, they will all
be found doing their full duty and hon.
estly seeking the same ends Let not
Alabama aliiancemen become suspi-
cious of their brethren in other sec
tions and entertain apprehensions
about them. The management of diff
ferent kinds of contests involve different
kinds of diplomacy and different kinds
OF contentious Because these may not
be understood is no reason to suspect
that they are improper or wrong.
Every state must take care of its own
affairs, in its own way. Those on the
ground and in the fight know better
how to manage than those who are
outside and do not understand the
situation. Trust one another Give
others credit for the same honesty Of
purpose and sincerity of design that
you feel. Each and every farmer has
the same interest the same ends in
view and the same purpose to be ac-
complished. Nearly all are in the same
organization and working fo- the same
result Be steadfast and true. Stick,
and depend on others doing as you viii
in the performance Of the same duty. -

THE SUs-TREAsURY PLAN.

Under Its Benign Operation the Farmer
Would Have Received the Net Price Paid
By the French Consumer.
most important step in the direc-
ton of government control of produc-
ton and distribution has just been taken
by the French government Enormous
purchases of grain and meat have re-
Gently been made on its account in
Chicago They are said to have bought
-four to the extent of 1000, 600 barrels
and $4,000, 900 bushels of grain. All
this will go in duty free, and in addi-
ton there will be great saving in the
cost OF buying and shipping as COM
pared with the expense involved in or
dinary commercial transactions under
the competitive system. Thus France
will be in position to supply her people
directly through the government with
cheap food at time when the other
nations of Europe are suffering from
scarcity of bread augmented by high
tariffs. This is a very practical answer
to the critics of nationalism, who de-
light in pointing out how impossible it
would be for the government to con-
duct satisfactorily those large CONNER
cial transactions now left to private
enterprise. While these wiseacres
have been demonstrating to their own
satisfaction the absurdity of the idea
that the government should undertake
the work of distribution and how much
better these things are settled under
competition according to the principle
of supply and demand, the French re-
public, quietly disregarding all theories
and seeking only for the best and most
practical way of meeting the dangers
of famine and popular discomfort,
undertakes the obvious duty of gov
ernment in seeing that the people are
supplied with food, regardless
of the interests of profitmongers and
middlemen. The spectacle is an in
structive one. and we may depend upon
that when the people have expert
enced the solid advantages of the
measure they will not be satisfied in
the future to pay tribute with every
loaf they purchase to produce exchange
operators and the whole host of toll
takers who stand between the farmer
in America and the European consun-
er. The populations of other countries
will not be slow in demanding that
| their governments shall follow the ex-
| ample set by France. Think how much
| it would have saved our farmers, poor
in the midst of plenty, had our govern
| ment been acting as their agent in the
transaction and handed over to the
| actual producers the amount received
from the French, less only the actual
| expenses incurred in negotiating the

Does it Contain Ammonia ?

The charge is being made that the Royal Baking
Powder contains ammonia. We would have supposed that
the emphatic condemnation of ammonia baking powders
by the most. eminent physicians throughout the land, and
the fact of the three leading chemists of Minnesota max
ing their report to the Senate Committee recently showing
that bread baked with the "Royal' contained ammonia
and the hostility now being manifested by the public
against all ammonia and alum baking powders would have
driven them permanently from the market.
In view Of the fact that Baking Powder has become
an indispensable article in every kitchen, it is gratifying
to know that there are brands in the market to which no
suspicion of any kind has ever attached. Dr.. Prices
Cream Baking Powder is a pure cream of tartar powder
free from every faint of ammonia, alum or other harmful
substance.
Dr. Prices Cream Baking Powder is re-
ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia,
Alum, or any other adulterant. In fact, the
purity Of this ideal powder has never been ques-
toned.
