EDITORIAL SUGGESTIONS.

Now is the time to get your bee hives
ready. Don't wait until the bees are
ready to swarm ard then have to stop
and make hives.
An experienced hog raiser warns the
farmers Of the danger Of feeding too
much corn to brood sows. Give them
plenty Of slop and other nutritious diet.
Write US your experience in the
various branches of farming or stock
raising Give your successes or failures
for the benefit of those wishing to i'm
prove their methods.
Plant plenty Of Irish potatoes. They
are easily raised and there is no veget
able or anything else that is healthier.
Potatoes will sustain life a long time
without anything else to eat, especially
if good milk is added.
Brother farmer, are you thinking
anything about manuring a lot and
putting it in clover or grass, or both?
You ought to do this. You can hardly
be called a farmer if you are neglecting
this important matter.
Are you getting the full benefit Of
the Farmers Alliance7 If not, whose
fault is it? There are benefits that are
beneficial to be derived in our every
day walks of life, and those who are
not reaping some of the benefits, are
just waiting for some one else to reap
them, and they are doing it.
The farms and homes of Massachu-

1t be until all is gone into the rapacious
mouth of debt3 The above facts refer
to both city and country homes.
Don't let bad weather or anything
keep you from attending your Alliance

A LIST OF MONEY CRANKs

The cause Of every depression is
money famine and nothing else. John
A. Logan.
Every reform paper ought to print
the above occasionally just to show to
the world what a set of old fools ca
these men were.
Whoever controls the volume of
money in any country is absolute mas
ter of all industry and commerce.
jones A. Garfield.
Liberty cannot long endure in any
country where the tendency of legisla-
ton is to concentrate wealth in the
hands of few.-DanieI Webster.
That prices will fall or rise as the
volume of money is increased or dimin-
ished is law that is as unalterable as
any law uf nature. PROF. Walker.
If the whole volume of money in cir
culation was doubled prices would
double. If it was increased one fourth
prices would rise one-fourth. John
Stuart AiLl.
A decreasing volume of money and
falling prices have been and are now
moro fruitful of human misery than
war, pestilence and famine. They
have wrought injustice than all the
bad laws ever enacted.-U. s. Money
Commission.
I believe that banking institutions
are more dangerous to our liberties
than standing armies. Already they
have raised up money aristocracy
thath has set the government at defiance.
The issuing power should be taken
from the banks and restored to the
government and the people to whom it
properly belongs. Let the banks exist,
but let them bank on coin or treasury
notes. Thomas Jefferson.
The government ought not to dele
gate this power (of issuing money! if it
could. 1t is too great a power to be
trusted to any banking business what
ever. The people are not safe when
such company has such a power.
The temptation is too great, the oppor-
tunity too easy, to put up and put down
prices, to bring the whole community
on its knees to these Neptunes, who
preside over the fux and refux of
paper money. Stocks are their play
things with which they gamble with
which they gamble with as little secrecy
and less morality than common gamb-
lers. Thomas II. Benton.

THE FREE SILVER CRAZE.

A prominent and influential Demo
cratic paper recently had an editorial
in which it referred to the financial
question as the Free silver craze. "
That is what is running this country.
The press are coached by the pluto
Gratis and the editors are taught to dis
pose of great vital issues in that style,
and half of the people are ready to
swallow it all just because some promi
nent paper says 50. Yet it has only
been a short time since this was lead
ing party issue and occupied a prOmi-
nent place in the National Democratic
platform; it is there yet, but Cleveland
had it put in so it has no meaning
Twenty nine Of the forty State Demo
cratic platforms were emphatic in their
demands for free coinage in 1884 Or sc,
yet the leaders of that party and most
of its press dispose of it as 'silver
craze" now. All this explains our
reasons for exposing party incOn 7ist-
ency, and all this has plunged the peo-
pie into debt and made calamity howl
ing~~a necessity. Read the mortgage
statistics in our paper from week to
week and see if it is not so.

nually and there isn't a man connected
with it that knows the difference be-
tween COW and a chattle mortgage.
If the government is going to do any
thing for the welfare of the farmers,
let it fill such positions with farmers
instead of 2x4 politicians.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1893-04-25

If a government contracted a debt
with certain amount of money in cir
cUlation and then contracted the
money volume before the debt was
paid, it is the most heinous crime a
government could commit against the
people.-AbraHGn Lincoln.

BRAINS AND BUSINESS.

One great secret of success is bust
ness-the secret, in fact of success or
large scale-is to conceive of il as Il
matter of principle, not merely as q
series of transactions. There are great
merchants as there are great states
men, and there are small merchants as
there are small politicians, and the diff.
ference between the great and small
men IS very much the same in both
professions. The small politician works
by the day, and sees only the one
small opportunity before him: the
small merchant does the same thing
he is looking for the next dollar. The
statesman, on the other hand, Is mar
ter of the situation; he understands
the general principles which control
events. His knowledge enables, him to
deal with large questions ana shape
the futbrr. The great merchant does
the same thing. Ills Lusiness is not
a mere money-get-!ns affair, not
mere matter of barter, but a science

SCARLET FEVER.
The Disease appears in the Western
Portion of the City.

Scarlet fever, which has been preva.
| lent in Uppertown for over yeal
past, has at last appeared in the west,
ern end of the city, and the prospects
are good for the closing of the schools
| if the authorities take no steps tC
abate the disease. DR.. Fulton, it will
be remembered, in a letter to the coun-
ell a short time ago, called attention
to the matter and recommended that
prompt action be taken to get the di-
sease stamped out, but so far no ply
sician has been employed, and the
parents of many of the children af-
fected are negligent, and depend upon
chance and what medical skill can be
found among themselves for remedial
measures DR.. Estes now reports that
the disease has appeared in the vicin-
ity of the gas works and near the Par
ker House, and expects that many more
cases will be reported at an early
day.
The little daughter of Charles Olsen
has not yet recovered, and her father
complains that her sickness will neces-
state the loss, to all of his children.
of the balance of the term at school.
Before the child showed indications of
the disease, she came home one day
and complained that a boy whose sis
ter had the scarlet fever, sat beside
her in school, and she supposed she
would become sick Her supposition
proved correct A day or two after
ward she was very sick indeed, and her
father at once kept his other children
at home. 1t is a well-known fact that
he children inUppertown are permitted
to intermingle irrespective of the fact
that in the homes of many of them
scarlet fever has broken out, and until
some action is takep by the city coun-
Gil to appoint q physician whose duty
it would be to report each case of the
disease that comes under his notice
and in that way put the principals OF
the various schools in possession o!
information which is at present highly
important, the tgouble will inevitably
increase until its proportions Will be
such as to compel the withdrawal by
parents of all the. children who arc
now studying.

w I, Robb had accompanied him for
the purpose of going on his bonds. AS
it was generally known that the 'mys-
terious John Doe" had turned out TO

that a hoax had been perpetrated on

patch under the heading, "EN L. Par
ker Indicted for Smuggling. On the
arrival of the steamer Telephone yes
terday it was learned that l.. f.. Selig
had been a passenger to Portland the
evening previous, and that JOB mad

gentlemen, among whom were Messrs.
Parker and Robb, were conversing III
the cabin of the Telephone, when Sellg
approached and endeavored to ascer-
tain the subject of the conversation.
Some one on board then told him the
story that the eX-deputy collector at
Astoria had been indicted and that he
was being taken 10 Portland in charge
of a deputy marshal. Selig. his Jour

where he could send dispatch from,
