the worlds fair a success, Secretary
Mohler, of the state board of agricult-
ure, has issued circular which con-
tains many valuable suggestions to the
agricultural classes He advises that
the farmers should select a piece Of
ground we'll adapted to the growth of
given farm product then by the use
of fertilizers, and the highest culture
known to the art place the ground in
the best possible condition for the pro-
duction Of choice products. He also
advises that an agricultural society be
organized in each county where no So
ciety exists now and arrange to hold y
fair next fall. Offering liberal premiums
for the growth of extraordinarily fine
samples of farm products Tho
choicest Of these should be sent to the
state fair, and all these products should
then be turned over to the board Of
worlds fair commissioners
Again, as further inducement to or
ganize agriculture societies he adds
that by the organization Of such Do
cieties counties become connected with
the state board of agriculture, being
entitled under certain conditions TO =
delegate to the annual meeting Of tho
board with expenses paid. The dele
gate for the time being Is an ex-O6lcio

all the rights and privileges of mem
bers of the board proper. Aud, be-
sides, in case q fair Is held by tho
society the law authorizes the pay
ment of $500 from the county treasury
to assist the society Ia paying
premiums While in other years there
may be a question rs to whether fair
ought or ought not to be held, there
ought to be no question about 1t this
year. Every county should hold fair
and thus contribute its mite to the suc-
success Of the Kansas exhibit at the
worlds fair.

PRESIDENT MANN PAGE RE ELECTED AND
An EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE CHOSEN.


AN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE CHOSEN.
RICHMOND. Va Aug. Is AT today

resolution of respect to the memory of The
late national present, l.. l.. Polk, wa
adopted. District lecturers were abOl
ished, aud one State and three assistant

Young Men.

A convincing reason why young men
should support the Republican party is
that its policy is emphatically American.
It tends TO the development of home re-
sources. the employment of home labor
and the increase of home wealth. 1t is a
policy that naturally will grow and
strengthen as the country grows and
strengthens and will become more popu-
lar as its effects are demonstrated.
A convincing reason why the farmer
should support the Republican party that
its tendency is to hold up American man
ufacturers, employ home artizans, me-
cbanics and laborers and thus, as con-
Stunning class enable them to pay fair prices
for the products of the farm. 1t builds
ND the home market-the best market
for the farmer-and keeps the results of
our diversified employ ments at home, to
continually add to material wealth in
their rounds of usefulness.
The protective policy is not merely OF
local application. While industries re-
sulting from the policy of protection may
be more numerous in one State than an
other because of natural conditions, the
benefits are difused throughout the coun-
try. Money is cosmopolitan. 1t moves to
localities and districts where it can be
proftably employed. and the prosperity
OF one State or one section, operates, eth
er directly or indirectly, to the benefit
of all others. Our system of Interstate
free trade removes all determinations
between the States and their products,
and places all on a common plane-the
one supplying what the other lacks and
thus equslizing advantages and mutually
compromising the different communities.
The protective policy has grown won
derfully ia popular favor since 1868,
when the Morrill, tariff was enacted. The
marvellous strides of the country under
its operation demonstrate its benihceDt
character and in contemplating the in
creaslng wealth and power and grandeur
of the nation, the national pride of the
people is stirred and stimulated, while
they become more and more American
In their love and admiration. 1t will con-
tinue to grow in the approval Of the peo-
pie, and young men, ambitious of public
service and of participating in the affairs
of the nation, will not fail to see where
the avenues of patriotism and usefulness
are opening.
This American policy should be the
policy of the young men Of this country
for it IS to them we must look for the fu-
ture guidance and destiny Of our great
Republic. Roanoke Herald,

The Richmond Dispateh is a shrewd
oDservanf paper. The drift of the cam
paign doesn't seem to satisfy it at all, and
it is now calling Justify for Cleveland's
letter of acceptance, hoping, we suppose
that he may have something to say that
will turn the tide of affairs. The Dispatch
has put all of its eggs in one basket in
this campaign-its single issue being the
alleged "force BILL" ard that doesn't
amount to anything according to its
friends, the Third Party people, who cor
rectly characterize it IS a bugaboo to
Brighten timid, unthinking people INTO
voting the way the political bosses would
have them. The singing truth in this view
of the alleged force bill, taken by the Third
Party, is found in the fact that the leaders
of this party in Virginia were but
recently ardent DSmocrats-and of
course they know what they are talking
