(See speech Of Hon. John Davis in the
National View OF Nov. IL
Q.-Is there any danger OF a like
catastrophe overtaking our farmers?
A.-There is; for we are now travel.
ing the road that surely leads to said
end, and if we thus continue it is only
a question of time when the great
mass of the farming lands in the
United States will be owned by few
capitalists.
Q.-Is there no way to avert such a
calamity?
Ayes, it can be done by a proper
exercise of the ballot. We have tried
congress, with about three-fourths OF
the members thereof composed OF
lawyers, many of whom are the agents
and attorneys of the wealthy corpo-
rations, sufficiently long to see that
the political wheels must be reversed
before we can ever hope for redress.
In the future our members OF congress
should to greater extent be selected
from those who have horny hands and
honest hearts. We would then be
able to tax incomes and to increase
the circulating medium to an extent
that is imperatively demanded.
Q.-Is there any probability that the
people will consult their best inter.
ests in these matters?
A.-The influence of the money
power is very great and a definite
answer can not be given.
ON case they refuse to cast of
the yoke, what ought to be done with
them?
A.-Collars ought to be fastened
about their necks and the word slave
written thereon, and then they ought
to be lifted with the toe of stern
boot, delivered in the rear.

TO HER MAJESTY.

One of the keenest bits OF satire
which has come to our notice lately is
a set of whereases and resolutions
recently adopted by the workingmen
Of Indianapolis, Ind We herewith
present them in full;
Whereas, we, the unemployed work
lngmen OF the city of indianapolis,
have by petition, remonstrance and
supplication through special commit
tees, committees of the whole and per-
Sonal interview, urged upon the
county, city and state officials to con-
slider the condition of the unemployed
and to use their influence to secure
work for the citizens Of Indianapolis
and thereby relieve the distress which
is and has been prevailing through
out the state; and
Whereas, We have petitioned con-
gress TO interpose in our behalf and
execute laws for the relief of the peo-
pie of this and other cities, counties,
states and territories without avail;
and
Whereas. Benjamin Harrison, late
President of the United States, and
Grover Cleveland, now President, have
both assured the people of this great
republic that nothing can be done in
the way of financial relief to the peo-
pie of the United States without the
consent of the crowned heads OF Eu.

Whereas, The people OF the United

Whereas, Both the republican and

storing silver to free coinage as soor
as England gives her consent; there

That, Of all known agents 10 accomplish

Assist nature little now and then with

searching and cleansing cathartic, thereby
removing offending matter from the stom-
ach and bowels, and toning up and inyigo-
rating the liver and quickening its tardy

buy one of them now.
We want debt-paying legal tender
dollars so deprecated that it will take
two to three of them TO buy a days
labor or a bushel of wheat
We must bear in mind that the re-
lative value of labor and commodities
does not change in the purchasing
value of money. The shoemaker who is
obliged to sell pair of shoes tina! cost
him days work, for ten cents, can
purchase with that ten cents the pro-
duct of any other mans labor of a
day. The only effect produced upon
industry by cheap labor and dear
money is as follows:
The cause of dear money is its
scarcity When scarce, it is MADE still
scarcer by boarding. Then there is
not enough to go rounl.
Labor is thrown out OF employment.
1 Half or more of the productive fore
of the nation is idle.
Crime and beggary take the place OF
virtue and prosperous industry.
Labor may pile up its various pro-
ducts all over the country, but they
can not be moved for the want of the
medium OF distribution.
Overproduction seems to exist in a
land of want, restitution and poverty.
All these things are the intolera bic
results of dear and scarce money.
On the other hand, when money
very abundant it is relatively cheap
1t is far cheaper in the land that is
blessed with it than money is in the
gold cursed nations. Hence it is
below the Far of gold.
Instead of this being a curse it is
the greatest blessing nation can en-.
Joy. Everybody can find employment,
for there is an abundance of money to
effect exchanges. Money is the cheap
est thing in market. Labor and its
products become the only thing of
real value.
Every man goes to producing, for
each man can readily produce for his
labor that which will produce the
labor Of eighteen men.
Enterprise becomes stimulated, and
labor becomes the great capital of the
country, while money is simply tool.
Mechanical skill takes the place Of
financial schemlng.
The soil for production takes the
place of bonds and mortgages, and the
products of the mill, the mines and the
workshop are substituted for usury as
source of profit and income.

by noon of Christmas, however, and the

more snow for a fortnight longer. and
every day the paths we're extended a lit

On the 10Th of the month, however, a
storm began that lasted almost a week.
and when the clouds cleared away there
was quite four feet of snow on the level,
and the weight that rested on the ice
caused it to sink, become flooded and
