FlNANCIERS.

The Difference Between Our Present
"WOnderful System of Finance" and That
Proposed by the Farmers.
Under our wonderful system of
finance-''the most perfect ever de-
vised"-the administration declares it
TO be necessary, to avoid contraction of
the currency at a true when mere
money will be needed to move the
crops, to extend its interest-bearing
obligations as a basis for the issuance
of a circulating medium. The simple
farmers, also. recognize the need of
plenty of money at harvest time, and
have proposed a plan for supplying it
Under the administrative plan, bonds
based upon the credit of the nation are
the basis of the additional circulation;
upon these bonds the government pays
two per cent interest, and upon the
ninety per cent. of bank notes based
thereon the people pay all the way
from six to sixty per cent, all of which
goes to support a class who produce
nothing and who render no essential
service to the country.
Under the farmers plan the govern
ment would issue notes on the same Sc
curity on which the national bank notes
ultimately rest to the men on whose
labor depends all real prosperity at a
rate of interest to the government
which the government now pays on its
bonds. The one is the acme of pcrfec-
ton in the eyes of our statesmen ~.
The other the rankest lunacy. The
fact is, the present plan is perfection it.
self-for the purpose for which it was
devised-the enriching of an aristocrat-
ic few at the expense of the toiling
many.
The alliance plan may not be perfect,
but it would effectually loosen the
grasp of the money leeches who are
draining the life-blood of the country,
and make it possible for the telling
millions 10 eXtricate themselves from
the mountain of indebtedness which
Shyiocll and his minions in the halls of
legislation have sought to make per
petual, and that is why they are fight
ing it so.-Iowa Tribune.

DR. MACUNE's VIEWS.
Mr. George C. Ward:
My views concerning the present
aspect of political affairs are that the
logic of events plainly shows that the
machine" as the controlling influence
of political parties is doomed. The
reign of absolute corruption towards
which machine methods" so rapidly
tends will never come in this country.
The people are becoming aroused as
never before, and will, with one accord,
demand pure methods and just and
wise objects. If both old parties are
too firmly welded to the machine"
and its methods to give them up and
return to pure methods, they will both
he destroyed in the coming conflict and
new parties formed that have methods
in accord with the principles of popular
self-government, and are not tools and
servants of plutocratic tendencies

FARM NOTES.

II the early potatoes are dug as soon
as they are ripe see that they are thor
oughly dried in the shade, spread out
in thin layer in loft or cool place

The way to get blood out of turnips,
says an exchange, is as follows: Sow

TENDER. Then feed the crop to good
cattle.
Clover and orchard grass ripen at
about the same time. Timothy and red
top ripen later. Mammoth clover
ripens little later than red, and for
this reason is better to mix with tim thy
than the common red.
If wberry beds are to be renewed
or enlarged the ground can be plowed

ton of the weather will permit August
is one of the best months to set out
strawberry plants.
With currants, gOOscberries, raspber-
ries and blackberries, after the fruit
has been harvested. all the old wood
should be cut out, and in many cases
the better plan is to burn it, as in this
way many insect pests as well as germs
of diseases will be destroyed.
Many prefer to SOW grass seed in the
fall in preference to spring. 1t is i'm
portant, however, that care be taken
to have the soil prepared and the seed
ready. SO that if the season will admit,
the seeding can be done early, so that
the plants can secure a good start to
grow before cold weather sets in.-Live
Stock Indicator.
There is one advantage in growing
turnips. They are cheap crop. and all
good advantage can be fed to the
stock. When there is a good crop they
make a cheap feed for stock, and when
there Is q light crop they can nearly al.
ways be sold profitably. Fresh land is
the best for this crop

EQUAL RIGHTS DESIRED.


The sub-Treasury Plan May Not BE Per-
feet But 1t Ii the Best Yet Recon-
mended.
The sub-treasury plan for helping a
monopoly-cursed and mortgage-ridden
class of people over a pinch is far better
than no plan at all. Understand, we
shall not oppose the plan. We ought
to have at least that, if we can have
nothing better. But we believe fair
discussion of the matter will lead to
something better. Certainly the farm
ers of this country must have aid or
they will lose their homes and become
tenants and tramps, and perhaps some
thing even worse. The farmers are the
mainstay of this republic; let them be

Direct Tax.

Please tell me what the "direct
tax" is which was collected by the
United States, and which is now
being refunded to the several
states.
It was a tax levied on the citizen
by the federal government for the
prosecution of the civil war. In
many cases the various states as
sumed the direct tax which the
government placed on individual
citizens. This was the case with
Missouri. Other states did the
same. Congress, by an act ap-
proved March 4, 1891, decided to
pay back to the states, not to the
citizens, the sums which they had
contributed. The total amount to
be refunded will reach $15, 600, 900.
