The cry Of Mr.. Bland the original
dollar Of our-daddles man, that Great Bril-
tain has engaged in a conspiracy to
cheaper silver. is one Of the most sense
less charges that ever was made. When
Great Britain stopped the free coinage
OF silver In India, she was not thinking
about the United States. She found the
silver rupee falling so steadily In value
that It caused general complaint, espe-
cialy among the army officers and men
whose salaries were paid in rupees at
their face value, but which had pur-
chasing value only at their intrinsic
value. When Great Britain saw this evil
growing greater and greater every day,
with no hope of improvement, she took
The bull by the horns and stopped free
silver coinage. In this she acted only for
self-protection.

ADMIRAL TEYoN's ATONEmENr.

The loss Of the British battleship VIC
toria. the most tragic event in the an
nails Of the modern navies In time OF
peace. had its distinguishing dramatic
feature, which must rise before the
mind Of every one who has read the
account of the fatal collision.
Admiral Tryon, learning his mistake
went TO the bridge, from which he couid
view the whole scene. The men, without
murmur or dismay, went 10 their posts
10 await orders. while the grand battle
shin. MORALLY wounded, pressed hard Tor
shore Soon it became evident mat
the deep would be her grave. and the
admiral gave orders for the men 10 save
themselves. but himself stood unmoyed
in his Mace. In the few moments which
remained between the shock Of her col
lisbon with the Camperdown and the
sinking Of the Victoria, Admiral Tryon
must have suffered the greatest anguish
and have foreseen the inevitable conse-
ouence OF an official investigation.
Rather than have his naval record tar
nished by court-martial, he made no
effort 10 save his life. but sank with
the noble ship whose fate had been
sealed by his blunder.
It may. under such circumstances,
have been Drawer TO live than TO die;
| indeed, the coward often seeks suicide;
but a principle implanted in our bosom
| by the Creator, who himself forgives the
contrite makes every generous soul pray,
peace to the soul of Tryon, who thought
his life not too great an atonement for
! his error.

We are very sorry to see from the
report OF his interview, that our Vir-
ginia Congressman, W. a. Jones, says
that Nothing has been said or done
on the silver question TO alter the views
held by me when l voted for free coinage
at the first session Of the last Congress-"
We hold Mr.. Jones in such high esteem
that we forbear 10 comment on such an
extraordinary confession OF judicial
blindness further than to say we earn

Of being the only Congressman from
Virginia who is similarly afflicted.

IDLE horses in winter will be bene-
fitted by feeding them corn fodder
awhile and then hay.
WHEN calves are from three to six
months old and weigh from s. to 100
pounds they are best for market.
If the horses are worked down feed
generously on ground corn and oats
mixed with cut hay and well sailed.
SORGHUM seed is first class for fat
tening animals. The seed for this pur
pose will almost paw for producing the
crop.
BE kind to the bull, but at the same
time keep him at such disadvantage
that you know and he knows you can
handle him. Never trust the gentlest
of bulls.
FEED principally corn to the hogs
when fattening, of course, but never for

DON'T GET n DEBT.
The Credit System Is Full OF Danger ts
the Farmer.

the FARMER
Farmers, like most other people. are
tempted, sometimes, to go into debt
when they might avoid It, 1t ought to
be an invariable rule never to go into
debt il it can possibly be avoided. The
credit system has sometimes been a
necessity In new country, Future
crops and future savings in every direc.
ton had to be mortgaged to obtain Ger.
tain necessities; sometimes tools or
farm implements; sometimes seeds or
work animals, or sometimes necessary
food for the family.
But, as a general rule, the credit sys-
tenn had now better be discarded. You
can buy better for cash. 1t is the best
economy. You will be saved great
worry and often loss by so doing. Debts
accumulate. Once enter on credit
system and the debts will heap up be-
fore you know it. Suddenly you wake
up to the realization that something
must be sacrificed to meet your obliga-
tions, You must sell, then, not on the
top of the market, but at the will or
beck of your creditor. Often it is the
worst possible time to sell.
BY habit of cash purchases you be-
come frugal in expenditure, watchful
as to the prices of what you are to buy,
saving for the future opportunity or
necessity, self-reliant, independent and
thrifty.
The credit system. on the other hand.
makes you slave. The farmer of the
olden time in New England and in New
York and Pennsylvania did not get into
| debt. Sometimes he had money to
loan, almost always had some savings
laid by to educate his chi ldren or to
meet the disabilities of hard sea on,
or of sickness, or of the declining years
of life when he should become too old
for hard labor
1t is good time to come back tc
those good old habits. The farmers
are not, as rule, dependent on banks.
Business men, whether merchants Ol
manufacturers or whatever the occupa'
ton which requires capital, must be
borrowers of money. Of course finan,
ciNl stress, like the present, is hard
upon these and many of them as wei
as many bankers have gone under. Blu
if the farmer gains lesson of economy
and self-dependence and determines t.
cschew debt, these "hard times" may
prove blessing in disguise. Farm
