on mere detailsi Wall street, and
the National banks aud all the
money mnngers of the land are
arrayed against this plan, aud ART
lighting it on details because they
want to continue b lng our money
changers with power t. fleece the
z. ear masses Of the people, and |
am disposed to believe that what.
ever Wall Street opposes is right,
for there is centered tho love Of
money and ''the love of money is
the root ofall evl.n
But il we had a law In opera
ton that would enable the pro.
ducers Of corn, wheat, cotton, etc,
to store their products with the
government. and receive 20 per
cent of their value, what batter
security could the governm mt
have for its money! These things.
unlike gold and silver m etals, pos
sess, in themselves, the very great
est intrinsic value, because men,
women and children, must of abso-
lutte necessity, have, day by day,
daily bread, and clothing to pre-
serve their bodies from summers
he It aud winters cold. By such
an arrangement the producers Of
these crops might be specially
favored and benefited, but the
money they would receive. like
that received By the owners Of
gold and silver metals, would 60
out into the channels Of trade aud
commerc :, the whole country
would share its favors and bene.
fits, and this would knock class
ont of that kind Of legislation.
UcaIa demands that alien owner.
ship of our lands be prohibited.
We farmers believe that only citi-
zens who expect and are willing
to help bear the burdens OF our
government ia times Of peaca, and
fight its battles III a time Of war
should own our soil. TO expcesS
il in homely way, we are opposed
TO our neighbor'S hogs feastng
AMI fattening in cur potato patch
aud then carrying home all the
sausage, sons chillens, splre-ribs, \,
lard, backbone and Iva on, and
not leaving MS ~ much as ll,ir or
hoof for our share. 4 few years
ago a syndicate Of English nabobs
got possession by 4 fraudulent
method OF Il large lot of our Sta'e
lands, and il Uhey have ever built
4 factory or home (tjings "Nemo"
tells they do) on any Of these
lands 1t is unKnOwn to the public.
They got possession of them for q
speculative purpose, an whel
this purpose is accomplished, il It
has not already been, they will 90
back home to enjoy its fruits. rs
Ocala wrJng for demanding that
such he prohbitedi Well, no.
"Nemo" fears the amount Of
money demanded by DC ,la viii
drown us out; that it will result
in improvident farmers being
under mortgage to the govern
ment which woultt soon own b)th
lands and people. Il is a notori-
GUS fact that housands of farmers
in our section have for years been
paying anywhere from 10 TO 100
per cent for money advanced them
in the shap. Of supplies. Farm
ers who can do this aud then can't
pay the government two per cent,
ought to lose their lInds and be-
long 70 the government. Under
tho present system the lands and
the people are likely, and that
soon, to pass into the ownership
of the money mongers, aud OF the
two we prefer "Unele Sam" for
M 4ster because he would give Il
fellow "a chance" and be more
mercilul. Bat the danger Of b.
| ing inundated is not 80 Gmin mt
because Ocala pr poses to let on
the water when needed and shut
it of when not needed. If, how.
ever, it should so happen that we
we're inun lated we feel like W.
could stand it good while and
fi0at on the surface without lite
I preservers. France has circu-
| lating medinn Of about $50 per
capita, and instead OF its drown.
I ing her water wheel it keeps all
her wheel. and machinery in
motion and she and her people are
repnted to be the most prosperous
nation and people on elrth.
The DC ala demand for tariff re-
dnction is right. Or common
cl ,thes may be HON .-made, bu
every time we buy suit larg
part Of the price paid goes to th'
home manufactured a. tribute
which is nothing short of legal
| izei robbery.
| Where is the gOvernm mt TO ge
money to loin the people at th
"auheard" Of low rate Of two pc
cent when it is owing a great de-
upon which it is p4yilg 81 pc
cent? seems to he a puzzling que
ton. Where does the glyernmel
get money TO loan national bank
at one per cent? Ii makes il at
cost only Of the paper upon whic
it is printed, the printing an
