Our Prosperity.

Last year the prevailing prices of cotton were four and halt to five and a half cents per pound, with an unprecedented crop. The prlce was not an equivalent of the cost of production, if We allow full value for labor, rents, taxes, etc.
 This year, while in Arkansas the estimated production will fall short of last seasons crop perhaps thirty per cent, the price will be about double of last year if present prices prevail or grow better, as is now probable, This being the condition the present crop will! bring the producers of the State fully seventy five per cent. more money than the crop of last year. This means several million dollars extra to our farmers, and better ment of the conditions of the peo- pie to that extent While we have this evidence of prosperity with our people we havo also the larg- est crop of corn, fruits, berries, po- tatoes and grains perhaps Tn the his tory of the State, winch added to the immense value of the cotton crop makes this without doubt one of the most prosperous years that our farmers have ever enjoyed There has been a greater diversity of crops than ever before, and as this divers fication extends throughout the entire cotton belt of the South it has so limited the cotton crop that the immense price will make it's aggregate value more than ii Il crop of last years size had been produced. Therefore the other products are in fact clear gain and prove what the Farmer has maintained for the past year, that dIversifcation of crops means increased prosperity for the people.
 We feel proud of the fact that our predictions in this matter are so soon verified by the increased prosperity consequent upon the change We have so earnestly advo- cated.
 We hope and believe that this will prove an object lesson to our farmers, so that in the future years they will not depend wholly on any one erop.-Ark. Farmer.

 Such difference canno be settled by bolting. A Demoerdtc defeat means Democratic weak less. De feat candidate by bolti sg or stay, ing at home and his frisnds will consider that revenge hereafter will be the just imitation ot the precedent. Thus the seeds of dissension are sown for D success sion of Democratic defeais.
 The place for contest within the party are the primsries and the conventions. Alter they are over, support the candidate that he may support you whea you de. feat him in the next contention.
 Republicans, when elscted by Democratic discords, vii not help us to compose any of olr party troubles or carry out any of our individual wishes. They will use all their power to grind in the dust our party's princi les and pour obliquy upon it's name.

THEY WILL BOLT.

Arkansas Democrat
 Col. C. $. Collins, of thls city, has been interviewed by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Here is il part of the talk:
 "Evefy county in the State" said Mir. Collins to n PostDispatcl reporter, lis per nanently and overwhelmingly for silver. The people have reached such Il point that they are actually crYstalizcd in their silver sentiments and nothing can swerve them, now or ten wears from now In Little Rock there is considerable gold sentiment, but it is of the Republican variety. If the national Democratic convention adopts d gold plat form or nominates 'gold' can iidate. Ark. will become doubtful State. Sentiments are now being expressed in the State that I never heard before. Stalwart Democrats whose loyalty was never questioned say right out that if the machine captures the Demo- cratic party they will not vote the ticket"
 Col. Collins is considered good authority as to the attitude of the free silver men in Arkansas. It the free, unlimited, independent, everlasting Is to doctrine is not recognized "stalwart Democrat" will not vote the ticket. Ii the national Democratic convention adopts gold platform, "Arkansas will become doubtful State" Where will these erring brethren go? Will they ally themselves with the PoplIists or with the Re. publcans? Or will they follow the example of Lord Dundreary' S blrd and flock to thcmselves9 Ev- idently in Cot. Collins opinion there is nothing to fight for except free silver, That comprises the sum total ot Democracy, the only thing that Democracy needs, and the oniy reason for its existence.
 The democrat is inclined to the opinion that Col. Collins Is off his base. IL Is as eertam as anything under the sun can be that the next national Democratic convention will not declare for the free. uu- limited and everlasting. It is equally certain that Arkansas will remain a Democratic and not a "houbtiu'' Statato. A few of the stalwarts may go over to the ene- my, but the majority of the free silver Democrats will do as they have always doue-march to the polls and vote tFe straight Demo- cratic ticket.
 It is little early to be propho- swing what silver Democrats will do in case "gold platform" is adopted; but there is about as much chance of tree silver Demo- crats bolting as there is ot the Democratic party adopting Il ''gold platform" Such plat form has never been adopted by Democrats and bat is more. nsr- sr ,eiR be.
 The money power, backed by
The Monticellonian., 1895-10-25

few city papers, is selfish and greedy enoHgh to attempt almost anything. but to adopt an ont and out "goId platform" is one step further than it will dare go.
 The platform Of 1894 was one that might well have been consid- cred iu favor of free silver, and f the right kind of a Democrat had been elected President, would have been so construed.
 The Arkansas Demotrat-a pa per usually clear and careful on most important issnes-is wild and woody on the money question. H, like Grover Cleveland and n few more of the same ilk, would be pleased to see a "gold plat form adopted and the single gold standard unreservedly fas. tened upon our country; but these few are so hopelrssly in the mi nority and so far in the dark that they will never be seen or heard of in the great day when the Demo cratic hosts-true to the traditions and teachings of their party-as- semble to promulgate q platform apon which to stand and fight the great battle of '96.
 The platform may not be as un- equivocally in favor of free silver at il ratio of Is to as the most ardent admirers of the white met. al mi ght wish or desire, but there will be no single gold standard plank erected. and the man or newspaper who would dare, open ly, avow such Il thing has not yet been found inside the Democratic  ranks.
 There are a great many men, in the Democratic party, who oppose the free and unlimited colnage Of silver at Is to l, but who are likewise as bitterly opposed to the single gold standard. The Demo cratic party is Il party of both gold and silver, with equal privileges, and the man who favors some thing else will have to hunt some other camping ground. Enough to say, the next Democratic plat form will take care of silver.

Tn Memoriam.

James Milton, little son ot J. N. and Jamie Jordan, was born July 3rd. 1891. and died Oct. 18th, 1895.
 He was sick Is days; his disease was typhoid fever, terminating in congestion. He leaves loving father and mother, one little ] s,ster and three little brothers, be- sides host 0 other relatives, to mourn his To IS.
 Oh, how sal our hearts are. to think that little Milton is gone that we shall ,ever see him again on earth; but what a sweet conso- lation to know if we only live right, we shal meet him iD Heav- en, where no farewell tear is shed. He was such bright, loving little boy, always SC sweet and good. In our imagi ation, we can see him, as he was in life, gatherin z wild flowers for his little play house. Durin his sickness, when asked, "what urts your darling5" he would alwa IS say: Muffin, ise sick. , Truly it has been said, "Death loves shining mark" tor It often seem to us that our brigtest jewels are taken away from us; but So it seemeth good unto Him aud we can only say, Thy will be dene, knowing that He docth all things well. God moves mysteri ,us in His ways, His wonders perform. How inseparable are Thy works, o, God, and thy ways past finding out. Perhaps we have lived too far away from God blinded by the allurements of this world. God looked upon us and saw that we were too sintul 0 be trusted with the care of so precious a plant, and It pleased cd to take him to Himse elf.
 0, why do we mour for the little flower
 That faded, ,sweetl, here,
 Transpanted to a H. avenly bower
 And tended by c d's care. Rest sweetly, darling one,
 Since God has call d thee home. Upon this sinful cart I no more
 Thy little feet shal roam.
 Though bitter tears UT eyes will fill.
 And waves of grief roll OCT our head Uheoneious thou sha sweetly sleep, For naught disturbs the dead. Then farewell, darling child.
 Thou hast gone to that Heavenly shore, Where We hope again to meet thee
 When this troubled life is OCT.

THE people of Arkansas will send free silver delegates to the next National Convention and. then, in the event the gold bugs should succeed and control the convention she will continue to send free silver Democrats to Con. gress, and carry the fight, for the white metal, bravely on.
 The Democrats of Arkansas, who favor tie white metal being properly recognized, are vastly in the majority, and they will most likely contend tor the faith that is in them, even though the Demo erats of somewhere else may be in favor of gold monometaliSm.

WE are frequently reminded by astute political logicians that the agitation of the money question iniures the business, or commerce. al interests of the country. Is this true? Do the existing condition of things verify this conclusion? One year ago cotton, the principal money crop of the South went, al most, begging for purchaser, while to day it commands lair and legitimate price in the marts of the world. Other business in- terests have regained standing in about the same ratio. Does 1t then look as if the money agitation had in ured the business interest or conditions of the country2 It looks to us that It pays to agitAte.
