we propose, through the knights of

Party and all reform organizations that
boycott be placed on the notes of
natlonai banks and that on and after
september, l, 1895, our people be re-
quested and urged to accept no national

work effective and depreciate them and
force the banks into huuiliatino de-
tense of their fiat money.
"a boycott OF tn Ia kind will epj,,to ~,
money question, test the sincerity of
some doubtful free silver advocates, and
stick dagger into the heart of the
money power, in turn for the dagger it
has stuck into the hearts Of the people.
This boycott will precip4ate the great
conflict with the people on one side and
the banks on the other and the issues
will be as sharply drawn as in the strug-
gle OF Andrew Jackson with the old
United States bank, sixty years ago.
ut will force tina corporations and
every form Of private monopoly to take
sides In the contest. 1t will force q

power to reveal the hidden hand of
American politioe, establish an i'm.
passable barrier between the masses of
America and Shylocks and pensioned
lords OF the world. The struggle of
1896 must result In Wet tory for the COM
mon people or the hope OF American
liberty Is lost and recovery I'm possible"

WEARS LONG HAIR
Hank Doggett Has Never Been In
a Barber Shop.
A Hoosier Giant Of Retiring Disposition
Whose Hair Reaches Halfway Down
Ills Back-The Romance
OF Els Life.

Hank Doggett lives about six miles
northwest of Greensburg. Ind, on the
banks of Clifty creek and in little
log hut which is surrounded by dense
growth of timber. He is very pc
cul;ar SORT of a man and has always
been considered by everybody in that
neighborhOod as great curiosity. He
is exceedingly tall, six feet Ave inches,
and when walking about the children
in the neighborhood keep clear of him,
as they consider him something
awful" His straight, coal-blacls hair
is very long hanging over his shout
ders and reaching halfway down his
back It has not been cut for over
twenty years. and he has not shaved
for thirty years. He informed the Chi
cago Tribune correspondent that he
had never been in a barber shop in his
life. He is about sixty years old, and is
as stout and healthy as any man of
younger age.
Mr.. Doggett was never married and
has been living the secluded life of a
hermit in this lonely and dismal place
for thirty years or more. His love
story is a sad and interesting one.
When young man he won the heart Of
pretty Maggie Johnson, and they
were engaged to be married. While
they were on their way to the preach
er's the horses became frightened, ran
of, upset the buggy, throwing Maggie
out headlong, her head striking a rocl,
and killing her instantly. Since that
day he has been quiet man and Sc
cluded from the world.
He owns a patch of ground in which
there are probably twenty acres. which
he cultivates himself, Notwithstanding
his old age. His only help in farming
is a yoke of oxen, and his implements
ere almost of antediluvian make. In
the working season he goes to work
regularly at sunrise and comes in as
regularly at sunset. allowing neither
the oxen nor himself noon meal. Al
though he is not married he does not
do his own cooking. Some fifteen years
ago a woman by the name of Martha
Scudder was brought to his home to
cook and keep house for him for her
board and clothes. Furniture in the

and two shuck-bottom chairs comprise
the list
Dogget has great love for animals.
He is the owner of about seventy
hounds, with which he takes great de-
light in hunting during his idle hours.
He also has two goats, male and fe-
male, which are great curiosities with
in themselves. The male, which is
usually the larger, is but a dwarf,
being only fourteen inches high, and
he has surely got his growth, for Dog
gett says they are both the same age,
being twenty years old or over. the
female is unusually large. being forty
two inches high and weighing over two
hundred pounds. He keeps them not
only for the sake of mere pets. for they
