provisions laid down by law, but the fault
lies in the monstrous financial system which
has been established by Congress under
pressure of the great gold and debt banking
interest of Wall street and London.
The aboye review of the money system
and business system of this count reveals
the pa1city of our circulating medium and
the heavy expense Incurred by those in
productive pursuits in order TO carry on
business. When persons engaged in active
business are compelled to hire upwards ola
million dollars in small country district
like Cecil county because there is so little
money in existence, the business is robbed
by tax that every impulse of common
sense plainly shows should be removed
and this can only be done by the issue of
more money by the government and less
expensive system of distribution than we
have.

Powderly's New Scheme.

The following despatch from To.
peka to the Philadelphia Press was
published last week 1t has prob
ably some grains of truth in it, and
shows that no stone is being left un
turned to bring together all the re.
form elements in order to breast the
British conspiracy to enslave the
people of the United States by their
financial campaign, having failed to
do so by armed force.
TOPEKA, Kas., July 1S.-A conven.
ton of the representatives of labor
organizations in Topeka was called
today for July ~ to nominate q
ticket of twenty officers to be voted
for in November.
Back of this movement is a
gigantic scheme which is being
engineered by t. Y. Powderly and
is to be carried out along the line of
his recent declarations that organ
lied labor must give up strikes, and
fall back ON the ballot box.
This scheme to wrest Shawnee,
the banner Republican County of
Kansas, from the Republicans is
being urged by Chief Powderly, who
is in constant communication with
the leaders. If successful, a new
party, it is said, will be formed.
The Populist Administration re :
CARDS the county as the Republican
stronghold in the State and say they
are willing to enter into any combine
that will take the county offices away
from that party.
Governor Llewellyn and the entire
Populist administration has given
encouragement to the scheme, while
every Democrat who fused with the
Populists last year is willing to
indorse the ticket.

A 100 Cents Worth of Silver.

The hundred cents worth of silver
in the dollar fad is just getting round
among the country parrots. 1t has
about run its course among shylock's
city dailies. 1t is the demand which
sets the value of most things. The
demand for the use of all the silver
for coinage would set the price OF
bullion at any 'ratiG" WHICH the
government named, whether 10, 16,
20 or % to one. Any person with
ordinary sense ought to see that II
any one of these Smart Alexis had a
thousand ounces more or less of
silver bullion and the govermnet
minis would coin it into silver dol
lars for him of legal tender-so made
by law of congress-would he sell
the bullion to any trader in silver
for less? We guess not. What
Smart AIick would do any and every
body else baving silver would do.
And there is the hundred cents in
the dollar at any ratio the govern.
mept choose. See? This nation is
a big thing aDd has nearly half of the
silver of the world IN it's own huge
hand.

Brown, Farmer; by
Leroy Armstrong.

AO4OJ al Oh5s
This is the title of new novel
just issued from the press of Charles
H. Kerr & Co., Chicago Another
pleasant leaf from that new and
prolific field which has been opened
up for the writer's of fiction. A field
rich in material for the genius of a
Shakespeare if he were to arise.
With the story of Uncle Tom 8
Cabin that field was first brought to
the notice of the writer's of fiction
Ever since Mrs. Stowe brought out
to an admirlng world the first treas
ures from this new Edorado of the
fiction writer its boundiess wealth
has oeen developing ever shifting
and changing like colors in the
kaleidoscope. The plains of Kansas
are now the fields for the prospector
and rich placers for his fertile brain
are ever being developed there.
"Washington Brown, Farmer" is
more a group of pictures, each one
perfect in itself, than narrative
steadily unfolding as the we'll laid
plot is developed. AS a landscape
painter throws in bright spots of
color to bring out by contrast the
beauty of his scene, characters like
Tom Trsvers, the embodiment'of hate
hate that burst into self consum
ing flame at the touch of truth or
honest manhood, Kadysha a spirit.
ualist, and Warder the false poll,
tician, are used by the author with
much skill in casting lights and
shades on his picture.
But the great moral of the story is
thu farmer movement" which is at
presen, disturbing the old order OF
social economy, threatening to up
root and destroy the most corrupt
and rotten business system that ever
poisoned civilization since it was
developed from its wild parent
savage man. The farmer in his
childish impotence and weakness,
his unorganized, aimless dependence;
and the farmer in his organized
strength, concentrated on a single
purpose and directed by a master
mind, his sturdy, honest and direct
purpose, contrasted with that horror
of horrors, the gambling system of
the Board of Trade and Chamber of
Commerce, where virtue, honor,
truth, justice, manhood are cast into
the great maelstrom of greed which
swallows all in its dark, roaring
waters. The giant power of the raj
road adds it's unbridled license for
wrong to the piratical crew which
gamble with the farmers substance.
Kansas is the storm center of the
economic change which is moving
over the land like the march OF
spring, now a calm, fructifying sun,
shine, now raging tempest and
pelting storm. "W ashington Brown,
Farmer opens vistas along which the
varying phases of the panorama is
seen moving, which all feel but COM
paratively few realize.
