AS TO THE REMEDY.

The first step to be taken is con-
sentative step. No man who under
stands today the cramped condition
of our economical affairs would be
willing to hurl into circulation large
amount of money spasmodically to
forestall the business of the country,
to bankrupt men and to hurry the
thing into confusion. No man who
understands himself or wishes for the
welfare of the country would desire
to do thing of that kind. We be-
lieve the first conservative step is to

to 1. Applause.
hold in my hands tables showing
the ratio of the relative value of the
two metals. From 1900 B. G. down
to 1889, through all the vicissitudes
of nations, the rise of empires and
wrecks of dynasties, and never, I
have said it here, l have the proof
that no scholar will deny, covering an
era of more than four thousand
years, never from the dawn of human
history from 1000 B. G. down to the
demonstration of silver by Germany
and the United States in 1870 and
1873, was there time when silver
was not premium over gold on the
ratio of 16 to 1. Not year. 1t was
at a premium of per cent. when it
was demonetized in 1873 and 1884 in
this country, and you know it demon
cited by itself.
1t was never made the shibboleth
or creed of any political party, great
or small, prior to the time it was
done. The intention to demonetize
it was concealed from the American
people, and the manner in which it
was done and the influences at work
at the time are not creditable to the
history of American STATE smanship,
and the declaration made by the
Bankers Journal in 1873, an extract
from which I have here, has been
corroboratad by the sworn affidavit
of gentleman of unquestionable
business integrity now living at Den
yer, who personally conversei with
the man that came to this country
from the Bank of England for the
purpose of arranging for its demone-
tization. But Immediately upon its
demonstration by Germany and the
United States, silver began to de-
cline. Why? It's decline has not
been caused by any decrease in the
production of the precious. The in
crease Of the production has not kept
pace with the demand for it. 1t is
less than a demand, and that its de-
cline has been the result of unfriend-
ly legislation and hostile demonstra-
ton, both in Europe and America, is

the the treasurer here shows that we
have S400,000,000 less money while
we have 39,000,000 more people.
The population is entirely overlooked
by the secretary. He says not a
word about it, nor about the increase
of $50 per cent. of the money using
population and a decrease of 20 per
cent. in the amount of money circu-
lated. Yet you want me to come to
the Chautauqua and tell you what
is the matter. God bless you, if you
will put your hands in your pocket
you can feel what is the matter.
[ Cheers. 1t is an empty pocket.
These 100000 of people that are
here are demanding money just as
the 25,000,000 were demanding
money before the war. Your secre-
tary of the treasury insists upon this.
Why it is like making a great big
boy that is six feet six inches in his
stocking feet wear the same panta-
looms that he wore when he was only
thirteen years old, and your secreta-
ry of the treasury sitting down by
the cradle in which that boy was
rocked when ten FOUNDER, putting
his toe on the rocker and singing:
"Hush, my baby, lie still and slumber,
Holy angels guard thy bed,
Heavenly blessings without number
Gently falling on thy head
And is it any wonder that the roll
licking lad kicks the whole cradle in
to flinders and says 81 won't lie still;
| want new pair Of pantaloons ?"
(Applause.) Why, my friends, we
have not money enough in this coun-
try. That is the cause of this up
heaval. The demand for money can
not be supplied and hence the people
have organized this commotion
throughout the republic. Now that
there may be vagaries in their creeds,
that they may not have been able to
spring from the pillow, and the anvil,
and the bench and give the world a
perfect system of political economy,
or to outline the details of legislation
which they think is necessary to lead
the people, would not be wonderful !;
no sane person would expect anything
of that kind.
But the question is this: Do you
believe that this unrest among the
the people confined as it is, not to any
one political party, but is present in
every party today-do you believe
that these Republicans, that these
Democrats, that these Peoples Party
men and that these Prohibitionists
are honest? This is the point. Are
they sincere and have they a real
grievance that it is the duty of all
political parties to take up and con-
slider, and the duty of statesmen and
legislators to take under deepest,
careful and most prayerful consider
alton?

Fruit Prospects.

When the unexpected frost
came March 18th, it WAS feared
that the fruit crop i'll this region
was destroyed. We are now able
to give a pretty correct estimate.
The orange crop will be large.
While some buds were killed.
enough were left to produce all
the oranges the trees are capable
of bearing, and the trees are un-
injured.
Pears are all right and there
will be a large crop. Oranges
and pears are the principal fruits
as yet in this country, and if
nothing happens from now on,
will bring in many thousand dol
lars to this country, this summer
and fall. Peaches and plums
have been injured considerably,
especially the early varieties.
The later varities, which were not
in full bloom at the time OF the
frost, are uninjured, and we will
have plenty of both peaches and
plums. Blackberries, strawber-
ries and such fruits are all right
and will be a full crop. Grapes
and figs are all right and will
make good crop.
Altogether, while the frost did
considerable damage to early
peaches and plums, and killed a
few orange buds, the loss will be
only trifling, and we will have
plenty of fruit.
While our fruit crop will not be
quite so large as it wouId have
been without the frost, yet, be
cause Of the increased price
caused by the total destruction
Of the fruit crop north and west
of us, we will probably realize as
much profit as we would have
done had there been no frost. -

Farm Hints. Il.
SOME DOTS FOR THE FARMER

work and raise something the peo
pie want and need, and you will
have no trouble getting rid of it al
paying prices.
Those who have tried the diff
ferent kinds of clover in Louisiana
such as California medick, alfalfa
Japan clover, in fact every variety
which has received q fair trial
have found them great successes
If you will feed well and take
good care OF your mean little Lou
isiana and Texas cows, you can al
most make jerseys OF them.
-Everytbine you do toward i'm
proving your farm makes it worth
that much more, and that much
more comfortable and attractive.
Remember that every nail yOu
drive on your own place is your
nail, and if you will continue to
drive them, there is no reason why
your farm should not be the most
comfortable and well provided for
home.
If you would grow Irish pota-
toes successfully, you must have
suitable land. 1t must be well
drained, either naturally or artif-
cially. If you try potatoes in low,
wet soil, your harvest will be dis
appointment only.
Always handle your potatoes
carefully. A bruised potato will
keep but little better than a bruised
fruit, and the bruise detracts from
their appearance also.
-Lespedezs, says the Dixie
Farmer, is better than red clover
for grazing, for renOvating the
soil, and for hay.
If you want to make any kind
Df success at raising poultry,
don't shut your fowls up in a
lamp yard or house. Give them
he warmth aud dryness Of the
sunshine.
Since the late war the South
'rn farmer has been planting for
he benefit of the Western corn
md pork raiser, and the growers
IF stock in Kentucky and Ten
lessee.
The Dixie Farmer says the !
pest time to drive" bees is when |
he apple trees begin to bloom, as
.bout that time there are but few
young bees, and but little honey |
n the hives.
One OF the very best saccharine
orghums is early amber cane.
Rich soil is not needed to make a
moderate crop.
-Dispel the idea that it is too
much trouble to have SO many diff
erent patches, and go ahead with
our diversified forming.
The vineless or bunch yam is
aid to be the most prolific potato
Or the South. Itwill grow in any
ind of soil.
The farmer 3 leslld at this time
g debating in his mind as to how
est to sustain himself and family
u the farm, and become indepen-
ent of the cotton crop and store
redit.
Every farmer who is able to al
,rd a good silo should have one,
, it takes much less ensilsge to
ed COW for milking purposes ,
ian it does roots, such as beets,
Irrots and turnips h
Improve your COW and you l
Ill improve the quality of your I
liter, for which there is always a t
arket. G
The farmer should put him Il
II in a position to utilize the sd-
ntages Of soil, Of climate and c
general surroundings. q
cattle are becoming
oderately cheap. For from SIS .
$50 per head you can buy good y
rsey grades. II

The Household, Fl.
The School journal favors the
teaching of cookery. 1t says: at
has been the source OF good
deal of mirth TO the old education
Ist that 1t was proposed that cook
ing be Taught. And yet it is the
testimony OF competent Judges
that more than one-half of the
bread baked in the country homes
Is not good bread, to put it mildly.
The waste in bad cooking il some
thing quite enormous, to say moth
ing Ct the indigestion and subse-
quent doctors bills. The cost Of
teaching cooking could be got out
OF the waste. A lady teacher, in q
beautiful town in New York, de
clares that she is convert. having
found by visiting families that but
seven families out of thirty-two
have decent bread. They make
excuses about the yeast, the stove,
or the flour, but really they don't
know how to make bread"

taken from the house-keepers' de-
partment of that splendid journal.

OUT OF THE WOODS.

1t isn't exactly certain whether or not
the Mckinley bill has had anything to do
with it, but nevertheless something has
happened within the past few weeks that
will 90 a long way in the line OF renewed
assurances Of success for the Republicans
at the polls this fall.
Reference is made to the general con-
dition of crops. The recent official re-
ports make a most satisfactory showing
for the country at large, and very soon
we may again expect to hear the waver-
ing Democrat excalm, as OF yore;
"Look at the prosperity OF the country,
why, the good Lord himself appears to be
on the side of the Republicans. And this
is just about the size of 1t.
Let us take glance at the crop statis-
tics. The government crop report lndi-
Gates that another great yield of this wheat
is certain. The acreage is enormous and
the condition of the grain such that moth
ing short of a miracle can prevent any
abundant harvest. Corn is some"ha
late, but the crop averages high, being in
| Ohio so, Nebraska 81, Georgia 95, Kan
81, Texas 95, Tennessee %, Kentucky SO,
etc. In the last three states the acreage
is far in excess OF former years. These
figures are for July; and it is reasonable
to suppose that the warm weather and
recent rains will greatly increase the pres
ent condition. Throughout the country
the average condition OF potatoes is 90,
oats 81 ,, rye % s, barley %, tobacco
92.7.
These are figures that mean business
for the American farmer; they mean
the paying Of old mortgages; they
mean contentment at home, peace and
prosperity, an enormous surplus tor ex
portland they go far toward indicating
also that the fault-fnders will not be able
to make their arguments stick when con
tending that, under Republican admi
nistration of public affairs, the country il
