HOPE FOR THE FARMER.
A Rise In Land---The South to the
Trcnt---Tarif Reform
Certainty.

| Charlotte Observer.
| The real cause of the almost world
wide business depression lies in the un-
rest and the strained conditions of tie
farming classes, their poverty and their
inability either to pay debt, to get cred
it, or to buy the goods of the merchant
or the product of the mill This logi-
callv entails ruin on all but it falls
heaviest on the farmer and land owner,
who, in his strait, suffers in three diff
ferent ways :O) Lack of means to oper-
ate his lands (2) want of market for
farm products, and (3) the fall in the
value of his lands On these grounds
the agricultural South has always stood
l, For free markets, home and foreign
2, against concentration Of capital and
3, against protected industries
Those were the issues practically set
tied by The great campaign Of 1892.
But from that day to this, gigantic eff
forts have been made by the protected
and other capital interests to defeat the
results of the great popular victory. But
now truth and justice prevail; the re-
form tariff bill of great Southern lead
er (W. l.. Wilson) passes the House
amid shouts of victory, and by major
ity 50 large (64) as to insure general as
sent alike in the Senate and in the
country. And strange to say, SO mark
ed were its provisions in its blows
at concentrated wealth, that it received
even the Populist vote, and was carried
against the influence of New York,
Philadelphia, Boston aad Chicago,
Meantime the South has made enor-
nous advances in her diversified farm
industries and all manufacturing and
farming interests; and from far-of, un-
crowded Texas even comes the word
that her available lands are rapidly ris-
ing in value. This means restored
credit and increased power. Money
too, is easy, and it only lacks fidelity to
principle, practical economy and gen.
erous enterprise to bring hope and con-
fdence to all. And better still, there
is at last broad and liberal spirit of
political, sectional and sectarian pa
triotism pervading all parts of the coun
try and all classes of people. The Viii
son bill and the income tax had votes
from even New England
Truth is mighty and will prevail"

Horace Grsely and Jefferson
Davis Bond.
The Southland.

The Southland.
In the year 1867, Horace Greeley
signed the bail bond Of Jefferson Davis
in open court in Richmond, Va After
two years of the most brutal, inhuman
treatment the world ever saw, outside
Of Siberia, Jefferson Davis stood at last
free and among his own people. The
burst of Indignation that fell upon
Greeley's head poured down upon him
like an avalanche from The north and
west, and a weaker man would have
fallen beneath it, Amid it all he stood
erect. 1t was proposed at the time to
expel him from the Union League club,
Of New York. From an old magazine,
we copy this letter-one of the most
remarkable documents that remain to
us from that dark and gloomy period.
Greeley addressed it to the officers of
the League club, 1t was as follows:
II shall not attend your meeting this
evening. = / do not recognize you as
capable of judging, or even fully COM
pretending me- You evidently regard
me as weak sentimentalist, misled by
a maudlin philosophy. I arraign you
as narrow-minded hlock-heads, who
would like to be useful to great and
good cause, but don't know how. Your
attempt to base a great, enduring party
on the heated wrath necessarily engen-
dered by a bloody civil war, is as though
you should plant colony Oh an iceberg
which h. somehow drifted into trop-
ical ocean. l tell you here that out of
a life earnestly devoted to the good OF
human kind, your children will recol-
lect my going to Richmond and signing
the bail bond as the wisest act, and that
it did more for freedom and humanity
than all OF you were competent TO do,
though YOU had lived to the age of
Methusaleh. / ask nothing of you,
then, but that you proceed to your ends
in brave, frank, manly way. Don't
sidle off into mild resolution Of censure,
but move the expulsion you proposed,
and which I deserve, if / deserve any
reproach whatever. I propose
to fight it out on the line that | have
held from the day of Lees surrender
So long as any man was seeking to
overthrow our government, he was my
enemy from the hour in which he laid
down his arms, he was my formerly
erring cotntryman."

Terrapin Farms.

Argonam
There are but two terrapin farms in
the United States-onc in Alabama
and the o her in Maryland. This seems
strange when the immense profit
realized by these farms i taken into
consideration. From the Alabama
farm from ten thousand To twelve thou
sand dozen are annually sold at prices
ranging from six to ten dollars per
dozen
We wonder why some Of our enter
prising people do not try raising the
diamond back 'errapin somewhere
along our Eastern shores When we
take our proximity to the great markets
along with all our other advantages
coupled with the fact that the demand
for terrapin never gets slack ii would
seem TO us that the parties embarking
in this business at any Of the many
advantageous points along our coast

Summary.
A Kansas woman who has been elect
ed police justice of her city has adopted
a novel solution for the tramp problem.
The first tramp who was brought before
her for judgement was sentenced to two
baths day for ten days and to hard
labor on the stone pile, with the order
that he be fed if he worked and starved
if he shirked. The prisoner survived
the ordeal, but now the first question a
tramp asks on approaching a Kansas
town is whether the police judge is a
man or woman.

THE CYCLE OF TIME.


This lovely day
Rolls swift away
The sun seeks rest
Deep in the west;
He fades from sight
And comes the night
And now begins to rise
The moon IN eastern skies
Queen Of the night SO pale
Flooding each hill and vale
With mild and lovely streams
OF gentle silver beams.
The twinkling stars come one by one
And gaze at earth in playful fun;
They simmer forth mist of light
And veil the earth all through the
night;
Celestial jewels set in blue
Now dancing in, now out of view.
".
Silent the cities sleep;
Still rOars the restless deep;
Far in the fields of space
The earth speeds in its race,
Steadily whirling ON
To greet the welcome dawn.
The night swift flies,
The Moonlight dies,
The stars recede,
The fiery steed
Drives them away:
All's wrapt in day.
