What did Thomas Jefferson say
about the National banking system :?
He saidthat the national banks were
dangerous institution to the coun-
try. That the concentration of
wealth had a corrupting influence in
politics. That it was at war with
the best spirit Of Republican institu-
tons. Andrew Jackson said the
same thing. The Democratic plat
forms, up to 1860, always denounced
them.
What is the national bank system ?
The government established ware
house and said to one class Of oiti-
zens: elf you will bring your bonds
and deposit them in this warehouse,
I will pay you interest on those bonds
in advance, and issue you money on
these bonds" In the last Congress
| introduced bill to stop paying the
interest in advance, and they would
not even let it be reported. Don't
they want a chance? daughter and
applause.)
Not only that, the government says
I will take your property and pay
you your interest in gold, and issue
you ninety dollors on every one hun
dred dollars you deposit, and you can
lend it out and you only have to not
make any more interest than the laws
of the State call for. In the State Of
Georgia the legal interest Is 8 per
cent. Now, whose money do they
get? Yours and mine as much as
theirs. Why should they not have
issued that money so that it would
come to the people direct, and let
them have the benefit? Why not
let the man with cotton have some
of this money as well as the man with
the bonds Why let the bondholder
have it at one per cent and give him
the privilege of charging you 8 per
cent ?
Not only that; the government
said: 81 will let you have sixty mil
lion dollars out Of the taxes of the
people, and you can take that money
for nothing, and lend it to the people
and make them pay you as much as
you can get" Amt that sweet?
(Laughter.) I know it has been
denied.
A voice. Hurrah for Black.
Mr.. Watson. You say hurrah for
Black. Mr.. Black was talking about
the subtreasury the other day at
Thomson, and he said he doubted
whether the government could float
it's own indebtedness at 2lper cent.
Yet the government has actually
foated bonds at per cent, and he
did not know it. The A per cent

national banks, and that the two
Senators from Georgia, Messrs. Col

people and for the banks. Great
applause.)
A voice. Why did not you make
these charges two years ago?
Mr.. Watson. / did and I have
the speeches here in my satchel to
show it.
1t is well known in my district

denounced the Democratic financial
policy as wrong, and said that unless
the Democratic party iberalized its
policy there would be trouble. You
all know that the Democratic papers
| jumped on me on that account last
year. Lots of these things we only
find out by an examination of the
record. I tell you that I had no
conception the Democratic record
was so bad on these issues until
went to Congress and examined the
record. It is better to find out the
truth and try to correct it than to go
forward and be deceived. Truth
hurts nobody but the wrong doors.
Now, the Democrats have a chosen
spokesman for this District. He was
invited to here to meet these attacks.

Why did not their man come to meet
me on fair terms of debate?
A voice. They are afraid to. Tell
about Cleveland; that is what they
want to dodge.
Mr.. Watson. On page SAB, there
was bill introduced to give the
national bankers ten per cent more
national bank notes upon the depos-
its of their bonds. You know that
they now get 90 cents on their bonds,
and the Democrats thought that they
ought to get a softer snap. Who
were some of the Democrats that voted
for that bill, introduced and passed in
the Senate, 1884. Here are some Of
the names. Bayard, who was instru-
mental in the crime of 1878, Beck of

What is the national bank system ?

did not fight it. [ have shown you
that they attempted to increase the
powers of the national banks.
In 1886, Congress passed law Of

In no single instance has an I'M

Several correspondents are conser-
vative, and reply that they are now
making their first trials of this plant.
Many state briefly that it is a valu-
able addition to our list of crops,
and not few are enthusiastic, be-
lieving that its spread through the
state will aid materially in an adj
vance towards prosperity.
1t is a noticeable fact that more
than seven-tenths of the crop III Kent
and nearly three-fourths of that in
Sussex stands to-day growing in the
orchards. It then forms notice

SCARLET CLOVER AS A WEED ERADIcA-

Ifmore extended and exact trials
corroborates the opinions and Obser-
vations of reliable men, then the
farmer of Delaware has now weapon
with which to combat the sheep sOr-
rel. It is hut reasonable to suppose
that the clover has this power; grow
inc as it does even earlier in the
spring than the sorrel, the latter is
oyerpowered when its time comes to
veeetate. Mr.. Bancroft is satisfied
that this great service has been done
for him upon certain fields on his
Sussex county farm and Mr.. Wright.

SCARLET CLOVER AS AN AGENT TO AID
IN REDUCING THE EXPENSES OF Gull
T1vATIoN IN ORCHARDS.
Before the days of scarlet clover,
Kent county orchardists state that
their orders to their men were, "cul-
tivate the orchards and the corn
once each week. If you can't go
over both, then neglect the corn"
At present they pillow down a clover
crop and harrow the lands possibly
once or twice. It is understood
from conversations that this is also
their practice in orchards from which
they have taken most OF the clover
for silage, seed and hay making.
The effects of the clover are to rem
der the soil loose and porous, to re-
duce the weed crop, and to so enrich
the soil thst excessive tillage is no
longer either necessary or desirable.
Estimates as to the amount Of the
saving thereby effected varied widely
Zone half the former outlay, seemed
. verdict criticised by no one; claims
far exceeding such amounts, were
freely made.

Hitherto the demand for domestic
seed has exceeded the supply. Last
season the opening price Of five dol
lars per bushel quickly advanced
and at one time the quotations are
said to have been eight dollars per
bushel in Dover.
The yield of seed on properly pre-
pared fields are noticeable. Fifteen
bushels per acre have been harvested
but nine and ten bushels per acre is
a large crop.
Some growers attribute their sue
cess to their energy in hulling and
housing their seed without losses
caused by rain falls. The large and
heavy heads dry slowly if once thor
oughly soaked, and this clover seed
sprouts with remarkable rapidity'
When over ripe the seed skaters
easily, and a very heavy percentage
is thereby wasted. Small growers
have cured and housed their pro
duets and hulled it at their leisure.
Others have hulled from stacks, with
varying results. Fire risks, from
the engine used in running the huller
are apparently increased, probably
through gence. Rumors of two
severe losses from sparks in the
straw were current in Kent and Sus
sex last year.

sclnIEr GLOVER FOR HAYMAKINa.


The first and second weeks IN
Nav seem rather early dates for hay
making, yet good crops of scarlet
clover we're successfully cured last
year at that time by a number OF
farmers, for instance by D. M. Will
son and E. G. Packard, of Doyeri by
Colonel Martin and Chas. Wright, Of
Seaford. Whether this can be done
every year remains to be seen.
In quality this hay may be OF the
very highest grade. Analyses made
at this station of samples dried with
special precautions, show that in
chemical composition this hay rivals
bran. For the details of this work
the reader is referred is this Stations

SCARLET CLOVER FOR WINTER AND
SPRING PASTURE.

For several years past Orchardists'
in Kent county, who at the same
time are interested in dairying, have
turned their milch cows out upon
the clover among their peach and
apple trees, it is claimed, with the
most favorable results. Mr.. George
Kerr, Of Newark, turned his flock
Of approximately eighty ewes and
lambs upon Ills clover, on corn stub
bic in the early spring Of 1891. The
stand was not first class owing to a
heavy crop Of pumpkin vines, and to
the losses caused by the shocking
Of corn Stake upon this field. Still,
after several days Of pasturing by
this flock, the plants grew again and
srty-eight bushels Of clean seed was
secured from considerably less than
Night acres Of land.

For some time it was a disputed
point among bee keepers whether
the scarlet clover would be service

have settled that question in the
affirmative. An ordinary observer
in walking through a field of this

Cutting the crop green in quanti-

is also coming into use. One writer
in the Country Gentleman repre-

profitable to send loads Of the fresh
clover to the city and retail it to
livery men for ten cents per heapine
