\ farmer NAV Ire too anxious -
make money. For instance, he may
plant too much cotton or tobacco. buy
ing fertilizers freely at heavy cost, yet
selling these products at price below
cost, and having 70 buy provisions
Whereas a farmer that produces his
own supplies at home viii in the end
save more money, and his land will not
be 50 Impoverished. The love OF money
works evil in many ways. The farmers
that tarrv at home IN every sense. and
are not too eager for traffic are the
most successful But as they come in
to contact with manufacturers, traders
and spectators they, not being famll-
lar with their arts Of traffic, become the
sufferers.
If we had to produce our own meat
and bread by our labor that meat and
bread would be swee. to our taste, and
sweet would be our sleep. But many
will not produce these things at home
because railroads transport them from
distant countries.
Much blame is often attached to the
government for panics by those that
do not understand the matter Tney
think the government can manufacture
money, or print, or mint it as they
please. If government buys gold d
silver bullion they can coin it into
money, or they can coin the bullion Of
others, under proper authority from
Congress. They can also issue or print
paper or notes and bills of credit, but
these are always redeemabie That is
the government is bound to pay out
good money-gold or silver-to the
holders of these upon demand, or these
notes would become worthless.

completion was asked, but, under
statutory law. this last request could
not be granted. Aid. Corsen

She turned and looked at the orchard at the

bloom upon the apple trees. and beyond the trees
lay home. But her dear mother was not there any
more aud Eidoraisa would not go home now
She looked beyond the meadow where the little
Fiver ran, between the willows aud the raspberry
bushes and the sycamore trees that stood witt,
aheir long white arms. Oh the borders. And beyond
these 10 the green hills, spanned by the rainbow
where The setting sun still peeped laughingly out
And a sudden JOY seized Eldorana, and she ran
swiftly over the broad green meadow until she
came TO the border Of the little river where the
raspberry bushes grew. And there she stripped Off
her shoes and began to wade among the pebbles
and the muscle shells of the little river as If to
pass over. Over the river where the rainbow
spanned there she might find her mother
And EldoranR went on and Oh, though the stones
were slippery and the water grew very deep; but
she kept her eye on the rainbow and her heart on
her mother, and 80 she not afraid. And the
water grew deeper and deeper. and when Eidcrana

zenith.
It was night now, and bands of men crossed the
green meadow with lanterns and rods, and the
hounds shifted ahead through the tufts of willows

of the little river. And far and wide the meadows
and the hills resounded with the calls of Eldor-

and the face was the face of Eldorana.
Over the river they bore Edorana, and she sleeps
with her mother under the rainbow that spans the
western hills, where the snow still peeps laugh
