DOCToRING a SICK MAN.

The country is sick, and q corsulta-
ton OF physicians at Kansas City
has been called to diagnose the malady
and to prescribe medicines for relief.
There appears, however, TO be little
| agreement among the doctors in their
opinions as to the cause Of the disease
or their plans for curing it. There
are almost as many diseases as doc
tors attending, and the prescriptions
are as mullitudinous.
Doctor Charles Francis Adams doesn't
believe there is much of anything the
matter, and Railways hints that he
believes the patient is playing 'possum
and trying 10 shirI: anyhow, if there
is anything the matter the best thing
TO do is to let the sick man sweat it
out asd ne will come around all right.
Doctor jerry Rusk holds TO the be-
liei that an engagement Of livestock
is the main cause OF suffering, and
relief must be sought by inducing
foreign governments TO lift their quar-
antine against American cattle and
hogs, 50 that we can get rid OF the sur
plus OF such animals.
DR.. Elder, late speaker Of the Kansas
house of representatives., had put the
patient to i microscopic examination,
and he had found numerous baccilli at
work upon the sufferers vilals. These
baccili he had made out to be trusts
and speculative boards OF trade and
bucket shops. His prescription was d
heroic injection Of Farmers Alliance
lymph. which he was confident would
eypcl those malevolent atoms from the
system and restore the invalid to vigor-
Gus health.
A Colorado doctor thought the i'll
ness resulted from j debiitated con-
dition OF the body. primarily due to a
lack OF circulating medium. Free
coinage of silver was, he said, a sure
cure in such cases. It is worthy OF note
that most of the others agreed with
him on this point in so far as to admit
that q LITTLE more silver in the blood
would certainly prove strengthening.
DR.. Edward Atkinson of Boston was
very learned and full of figures going
to show that silver was not near so
good as gold as a restorative, though
silver might be used to dilute the dose
of gold and make ii go further.
and thus they dispute and contend,
and the sick man suffers as sorely as ever.
Very soon he will make up his mind
that he isn't so id sick, after all, and
then ne Will 90 to work, make big
crop and sell it, and by the lst Of next
January he will be as well as ever he
was

question OF credits, terms and rate of dis
count and certain classes of goods in va
rious lines that can be adjusted and regu-
lated through concerted action; to
encourage the sale of home prod
ucts and to look after taxation,
transpo rtation, insurance and a number Of
other subjects affecting the trade which
can be more quickly and satisfactorily adj
iusted through the association than by

OF dire need and its work will tend to
elevate the farmer, and all patriots
should judge it dispassionately and
give it support and countenance in
every laudable effort to rescue Ameri-
can agriculurists from debased con-

the class legislation OF Republicanism,
but the farmer has suffered most. The
