There is not enough wheat raised in Michigan
to pay the interest OH mortgages on the wheat
lands in that state. The average debt of the
value OF his crop is 500. He pays $50 interest
and taxes. which leaves s325 to feed himself
and family, and attempt to get out of debt.
THE REMEDY.
These evils were further alluded to and en-
forced with statistics from the Congressional
Record and other sources. More ready mon
ey per capita. the speaker alleged, is the great.
est need Of the country. There IS only about
S. per capItr in circulation. Farmers are con.
stantly told they should do business on n
brought their crops to market and sold them
for cash. In thirty days they would have
every dollar In the country in their pockets.
and every other business would he ruined 1t
is impossible for them. under existing condi-
tions, to do a cash business.
TIE sl'B-TREAsuRY
was the panacea urged by the speaker for
all the ills he had pictured. 1t will give Il
flexible currency and money to more crops.
1t will do away with speculation and gam
bling in futures. For people to live In cities
they must keep the farmers in debt.
People say the sub-treaSury Is unconstitu-
tionai. That Is always the way ; all things
that don't bonelit tho farmer are constitn-
tional. r. Is constitutional to lend money to
the Pacific railroad on second mortgage
bends, and to the New Orleans and Philadel-
phia eXpositons; but when the farmers
howl is raised, "unronstitutional."
Farmers don't insist on the details of :hc |
sub-treaSury plan but demand recognition |
of the principles involved therein, and will |
accept any measure embedying those princi-
pies. All the farmers want is more money
and lower rate of interest. If IT. is nncon-
stitutional, make new constitution that |
will help the farmers.
The speakers view was, the sub-treasury Is
good egg. The Alliance laid it, and will set |
on 1t until 1t matches. One legislator says
that agricultural depression results from over
production. Another thinks the farmers
should quit going to meetings, and turn IN
and make bigger crops.

Rio JANEIRo. Nov. l.. Reports were
current in this city today to the effect
that the army and navy forces were
making preparations to proclaim Gen.
Da Fonseca life dictator of Brazil. The
government is securing full compile
ment of men for its war-ships by means
of impressment. Many unlucky citizens
haye been seized in the name of the gov

is carrying on Its operations here and is
actively engaged in the work of pouncing
upon and forcibly conveying to ships of
war in the harbor, despite entreaties,
prayers, or physical resistance, as the
captives are all eligible men, whom, it
is thought, will make desirable members
of man-of-wars crew. Very often it is
only after most desperate struggle that

They were evidently frightened away

that town was in the race.

NATURES WONDERS.
The Strange Intelligence of Brainless


The Strange Intelligence of Brainless
Creatures.
It is not often that we find animals
giving mutual aid, except in the line of
their domestic duties. To meat with
instances of helpfulness in creatures so
low in the scale as are the "sea-urch-
ms" on our coast is really remarkable.
Prof Elder, of Colby university, com
municates TO London Nature what he
observed amoug the echini of Casco
bay.
Among the specimens brought back
from one excursion were four Of the
common echini. The last one taken
had been left exposed to the sun some
time before it was noticed and properly
cared for
These four animals were placed alone
in a small aquarium, and, as we wished
to study their action, each was turned
mouth up Soon the action began, with
which every naturalist is familiar. and
three of the captives slowly rose on
edge, and then deliberately lowered
themselves into the normal position.
The fourth, the injured one, made
much less rapid progress; all it could
achieve was a slight tipping on its disk
The two nearest echini, from six TO
eight inches distant, now moved up
and stationed themselves on opposite
sides of their disabled comrade.
Fastening their tentacles for pull,
they steadily raised the helpless urchin
in the direction in which it had started.
As soon as it was possible, one of the
helpers moved underneath the edge %
the disk on the aboral back side, and
when the half-turn was accomplished,
the other took station on the oral side,
gradually moving back as the object Of
so much solicitude was gently lowered
to the position nature had made most
convenient.
