what Free wool Wlll do for us.

The Washington Post prints the
following interview with the repre-
senatives of a London house that
makes garments for city swells in
America who effect foreign styles
and fabrics. He says:

The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1894-10-20

The farmers not only of Ohio alone
but of other states have begun to
realize that the financial legislation
of the Republican party, in the in
terest of the non-productive class,
has placed them between the upper
and neither. millstones and is grind
ing them to death. They have not
begun to realize it any too soon.
II is natural that the farmers of
Ohio should desire to have the pre-
vailing system abolished and that
they should stand together in the
Ohio democratic convention and de-
mand that silver should be restored
to its former place. But the farmers
have not suffered alone. Every man
that produces has seen the value of
his product shrink in the same pro-
portion. 1t is an issue between all
labor and all money loaners-be-
tween all who live by their toll and
those who live by the toll of others.

WHAT HAS HURT THE FARMERS.

1t is significant of the trend of
thought among the agricultural
classes that the free silver plank in
the Ohio Democrat platform was de-
manded and secured by the rural
delegates. The opposition came
principally from the cities of Cincin-
natl and Cleveland, where banking
and combinations of capital are a
prominent factor in molding mone-
tary sentiment. The country dis
tricts fought out the fight and won
it.
There is hopeful promise in this
action and in the deep rooted deter
mination that the action denotes.
The interests of agriculture have been
receiving no consideration what
ever in national legislation for years.
Glasses that have had interests to be
enhanced by high protective tariff
have had their claims considered
and granted, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. Money lenders that
have seen opportunities to their own
enrichment through degradation
OF silver and with 1t a depreciation
of all values have had the coveted
opportunities accorded them. The
agriculturalist has received nothing
not even Justice. His interests
have been sacrificed that other inter-
ests might thrive upon his loss.
The facts in detail are more po-
tent than any bare ascertain can be.
For thirty years the farmer has been
forced to sell all he produces at
prices fixed in the free trade market
of Liverpool, in open competition
with the cheapest labor in the world,
while all he has had to buy has been
enhanced in price by high tariff.
Not only that, but the value of farms
and improvements and the prices of
all products of the farm have been
enormously deprecated by the f1nan-
cial legislation of the last twenty
years. Not only have the farms in
this country shrunk in value, but the
last official report shows that one
forth of them have become shingled
with mortgages.
The agriculturists have become
the debtor class of this country.
More money is loaned today upon
farm land than upon any other class
of real estate. The cOnsistant shrink
age in values has victimized the
farmer doubly, for while his income
has decreased he has been compelled
to give two bushels of wheat in pay
ment Of debt that represented but one
bushel ten years ago.
The following table shows the uni
formity with which the value of
wheat has deprecated with the de-
probation in silver, since the de-
mOnetiZation of that metal.

EFFECTS OF FREE WOOL.

Higher Wages and Greater Prosperity
in WOOlen and Textile Mills.


These are tough times for the Re-
dead certain before the passage of
the Wilson bill not only that free
wool would knock the bottom out of
prices and ruin the wool and sheep
industries, but that the great reduct-
ions of the duties on woolens would
close up all our wooden mills. His
position is now most pitiable. Facts
refuse to submit to his pessimistic
theories; moreover, they stand out
so plainly that he cannot possibly
deceive the voters until November.

on top of this advance the Dry

says:
"The wool market in New York
for the past week has shown more
active and general demand and fully
sustained prices. Slight advances
in prices have been paid for certain
classes of domestic woods, notably in
the mediums and quarter-bloods.
There is a good demand for Texas
fall woods and some sales of the
earliest arrivals. A fairly large and
diversified stock is being offered in
the market, and manufacturers

A Bashful Seaside Juno Who Proved That

One summer party of gay New York

There was one young married woman
there from Hartford who looked askance
at the style OF the ocean rai1nent that the

bathing suit that covered her from neck

was. One day her husband said to her:

stood in her shoes, a being half Juno, half

How Late Must We Cultivate corna

AS to what stage of growth cultiva-
ton should cease can best be deter
mined by the season itself. It should be
borne i'll mind that i'll d dry season the
roots of corn go down and run deep in
search Of moisture, and that as repeated
stirring of the surface tends to conserve
this moisture it certainly cannot be
otherwise than beneficial. In wet sea-
son, however, the feeding roots spread
out and run near tho surface and lit
orally fill every foot Of soil between the
rows. To cut off or mangle these roots
must, it is very evident, prove detri-
mental to the growth Of the plant.
Where shallow and oft repeated Guilt
walton is practiced, it will be found that
the soil just beneath this loosened top
layer is filed with small feeding roots,
and that when cultivation ceases and
the plants shade the ground these small
roots will often ascend to within half
an inch Of the surface, especially if re-
peated showers keep the soil damp a
week or two. Long experience in the
growth of this crop and close observa-
ton of its manner Of roofing have salts
fed correspondent of American Agri-
culturist that shallow and often re-
peated cultivation is most effective in
inducing strong and rapid growth, and
that such cultivation is beneficial until
the plants completely shade the ground.

Glover Seeding With Buckwheat.

The buckwheat crop is not one that
most farmers would think as available
for helping to "a clover seeding. Yet it
is fact that when buclwheat is sown
about the LIST of July and some clover
seed is sown with it there is usually
good catch Of clover i'll the fall. If the
soil be sandy, this clover is more likely
to be good crop the next season than
when it is sown Oh such soil with early
spring grain. Most OF the buckwheat
grown is sown on land that is too wet
in spring to be fit for any spring grain
On such land there is no use sowing
clover seed, There may be an apparent
ly good growth i'll the fall, but it will be
drowned out by water or heaved by frost
during the winter. The long taproot
of clover is no protection against heav-
ing out by frost On wet land it is no
uncommon sight to see clover roots lift
ed five to six inches above the surface
in spring, and when cut by the mower
the knives cut under the grass growth,
severing the root and completely de-
stroyins the pfaiea. says American Gull
