cheaper wagons, implements, groceries, cheaper tuition for his children. cheaper preaching, cheaper newspapers, cheaper everything all along the line. Especially in clothing does he effect a great saving. It is rare now that a farmer comes to town dressed in home made clothes. He can buy ready made suit cheaper than his women folks can make it. The farm CTS gains exceed his losses.
 In 1879 the average price of silver was SLIP, and only 6S cents in 1895. This is a great fall No farm product that can be consumed has fallen so much. If the fall in the price of silver will depress one farm product it must fdepress all, but it has not done this. as we have shown. Silver and the price of farm products must be dyorced--there is no relation between them. One goes down while the other goes up, and vice versa there is no agreement between them. Supply and demand regulate the prices of farm products.

 What is the matter, Tom?" I asked anXiously; no bad news, old fellow?"
 'None-only hard work"
 Well, you'd better drop it then. You look fit for dissection table as it is.''
 You are crazy" he said, with A short laugh; but he looked uneasy, neverthe- less. T have been hard at work" he added, indicating the easel
 My glance followed his hand. On the canvas there, with the colers yet un- dried, was lonely road. The trees weeping willows-bent above it on ei- ther side. There in the center lay a still form, clad in the uniform of Confeder- ate grey. The arms were thrown out, as though the man had died in mortal agony, but the face was hidden in the aust. The artist had painted under it,

 Yes" he answered.
 I looked around; the walls were lined with pictures that bore the same unmis- takable touch-always that still figure with its familiar sameness of pose with its hidden face-with its uncom- fortable suggestion of

The stool upon which he was standing rolled upon its castorsj he lost his balance and fell heavily, bringing the painting with him. As he lay there a horrible conviction flashed over me.

SOPHISTRY EXPOSED.

Tie farmer is the first to feel the ef feet of hard times, and the last to reap the benefit of good times. He cannot ad- just himself to changing conditions as quickly as the manufacturer and the business man. For this reason, and for the further reason that the agricultural interest predominates over other inter- ests-the farmer is held up as an illustra- tion of the good or bad effects of any governmental policy. Just iat present the silver monometallists are very busy using the farmer to illustrate their argu- ment that a fall in silver means a fall i'm farm products. The argument is a spe- cious one, and will not bear the light of facts.
 These special pleaders contend that all farm products have fallen together with silver, and that the farmer is only half as well off as he was some twenty yeard ago. In this computation the special pleaders forget to estimate the increased value of land, the purchase of new and improved agricultural machinery, and the enlarged knowledge which comes by experience. all of which must be added to the farmers capital Take the farmers of Jefferson county, for instance, and we find that the enhanced value of their land in the past fifteen years has made many of them rich. The State has es- tablished experimental stations at df- ferent points, and the farmer reaps a rich benefit from these scientific exper- imerits. He knows now what fertilizer to use to produce the best results and he has learned how to economize time and laborin hundred wayss He knows how to deal more effectively with his land and he produces a larger and more va ried products with less effort than before And he has learned what the consumers want, and what crop will bring the best price. He has learned to make his farm self-supporting, and less and less does he draw on the West for meat and corn. Just here is an advantage which is not ofterf considerd. Tn farmer and family in consuming the products of their farm-g get the benefit of any fall in the price of those products The cheapened cost sef his living must be computed in balancing the ledger.
 The. argument that all farm products have fallen in proportion to silver is not Sustained by further facts. Dairy products, meats. seeds, lard. corn, oats and various other products bring as much. today as they did fifteen years ago. While much that the farmer pro- dHces has not fallen, yet every article that sshe buys is cheaper. He gets cheaper railroad freights in shipping his produce to market cheaper postage for letters cheaper sewing machines, cheaper Bibles, cheaper organs and hymn books.

He looked keenly at me. It was a good sign that he did not resent the Jezebel. The painted lips seemed to mock me, the alluring eyes smiled softly into his.
 .sNo, old man." he said deliberately, q will not go with you to Rome." I knew he meant it. I flung out of the studio in a passion, and that night left Florence.

 It represented an artists den. The atmosphere was of utter silence ana lonelines-darkness too, save for the llt- tie studio lamp that seemed to flicker weirdly as I gazed upon it. There, where the light fell athwart the floor, lay the body of a man. face downward. His Mahlstick still grasped in his clinched hand showed that he had but new left his easelIn the short velvet coat was a torn place extending under the left arm, and an ugly. red splash upon the floor told ghastly story.

TOLD BY A FLORRNTINE STUDENT,

We were studying art together-Tom Westmoreland, Jim Harringford and L. at least we called it art. Tom had only to lay hands on brush or pencil and the will derness of canvas blossomed into things that made Jim and me green with envy poor devils. We turned out some bitter, bad daubs which we called "studies,' but we went ahead with the audacity incl dent to college-bred men, and made cruel caricatures of Fra Angelicos and Ra- phaels by the wholesale.
 Ohi those happy days in sunny old Flor ence, they seem of but yesterdays hap pening, and yet the years lie heaped up between them and now; twas yesterday Madge told me there was silver in my hair-but to go back
 Jim and l daubed and daubed; some times Tom would run in on us to give a little helpful word or if the "studies" were worse than usual we heard that clear, happy laugh of his that was not 1dicule, not contempt, simply the es- sence of amusement. Somehow we never resented Toms mirth; 1t was the laugh ot man whose heart was bubbling over with pure joy in living and good will to- wards every mothers son in creation. By and by we got disgusted and said we would run in on Rome for a short vaca- ton.
 The truth of the matter was, we were dylng for lark, and we sheepishly ad- mitted that our studies" were anything but satisfactory. 1 tried in vain to coax Tom to go with us. He was hard at work on study of a young girls head. and was begging away at it with all the de- termination of the latter-day American
 As lounged into his studio he looked up and nodded in his sunny way. l can see him now just as he stood then, palette in hand, chewing the end of his

COMMERCIAL CLUB NOTES.

There is one fact that needs to be kept before the people in season and out of season, and that is that there can never be any material progress for this city un- til the value of united effort" is un- derstood and acted on.
 There is another fact that needs equal force of Judgment in the minds of this people, and that is that individual well fare is best advanced through the wei fare of the body at large. The welfare of Birmingham should stir up the action of every citizen as quickly and effectively as if it was the direct welfare of the spe- cial individual himself that was at stake.
  When Birmingham can claim these two things as the ruling sentiment of her citizens there is no power short of Om- impotence that can stay her progress or dim the brightness of her career.
 It is a friend that tells us of our faults while an enemy will talk of them behind our backs and thus seek our in- jury. At this particular time Birming- ham needs every friend she can find, and if any there are among her people who will not willingly unite with their fel- low citizens and do what they can for the general welfare of the city they should move out and make room for those who will do so.
 It is the spirit that is wanted-the hand of encoura cement, the mite, when the mite is all that can be spared, the kindly word of encouragement, the gen tie helping hand to weary and over- burdened neighbor. It is these things that show character and prove worth, and they are more valuable than money, where money brings selfishness and absence of feeling for the struggling masses around us.
 
 Birmingham has more to stimulate un- ion of effort among her people than any other city in this country. As Alabama has greater wealth of resources than any other State, so Birmingham may reap greater returns than any tother city, because the greater volume of wealth of the State lies at her doors and only waits the action of her own peo- pie to gain admission and abide there.

 We must get together, we must real ize that fortune, progress, prosperity, fu- ture greatness and happiness as a peo-  part. This is a world of action. and ac- tion alone merits and secures success. Georgia has located within the past few days colony of 12,000 families on one body of land containing 900 acres. They are thrifty people, and it means an increase of Georgia's white population of at least 60,000 souls. This is what en- ergy and enterprise can accomplish, and this is what must be had to bring Al abama to the front.
 
 An exhibit of Alabamas wonderful re- sources at Atlanta will bring thousands of settlers of the same class into Ala bama. This means increased wealth, in- creased business, greater prosperity for every portion of the State and greater demand for the product of the soil, the mine, the furnace and the factory.

brush meditatively as he surveyed his handiwork.
 Come, Tom," said impatiently, take a day off; twill do you good and we'll have no end of jolly times; besides Jim and I will be lost without you.'
 "'Fraid I can't, old man." was the re- gretful reply; you know the dear old governor will be over soon, and I ought to have something besides good inten- tions to show for my year in Florence"
 "Oh, come on; it'll be so jolly, and when you come back therell be plenty of time to finish your yellow haired Jezebel."
 "JeZebel? Whew, what a name for her! I thought I'd call her 'Phryne,' but your name will do quite as we'll" He spoke slowly, with some quiet amusement in his voice, his eyes dwelling on the can vas before him.
 Half in curiosity I got up and lounged toward the easel; 1 started as I beheld the study. Before I had seen merely a mist of yellow hair; now it was indeed face such as the imagination paints as belonging to the famous courtesan. "Phryne! I would have chosen the name among a thousand.
 It was wonderful face-a type at sight of which the Italian peasant always turns down the left thumb and murmurs, 'Jet- tatura," as protection againStsev1l Sp1r- it's They say an Italian woman has no right to be yellow-haired.

 ''No, don't like her." said irritably. q wouldn't trust that woman even on canvas. It's the face of a she-devil if I ever saw one.' Tom laughed, and I lost patience. felt that here lay the reason of his re- fusal. She was too beautiful and Tom was young.
 "Tom," I said abruptly, 'hnswer me styaightout and tell me, will you drop this nonsense-come with me to Rome! and let that confounded Jezebel go to Halifax?"

WHO WAS HE 2

In the morning of time God created the heavens and the earth. The morning is the time of creation. The thoughts that float in the mind at night without form and void in the morning shape them selves into suns of brillancy and stars of glittering light. As the moon is but a reflection of the sun, so the thoughts eX- pressed at night are but the reflection of those formed in the morning. The seed that lie fallow all night spring into life at the touch of the rising sun.

TO RECOGNIZE REvoLUTIoNIsTs.
A Bill to That End to Be Presented to
 Congress, It Is Said.

Washington, April 19.-A bill recog- nizing the belligerency of the Cuban rev. olutioniStS has been prepared in this city and will be introduced in congress when that body convenes in December next
 It was drafted at the suggestion of cer- tain representatives and senators who are in sympathy with the efforts of the Cubans to throw off the yoke of Spain and these gentlemen will use their infiu- ence to pass it through both houses. Such action on the part of the United States would of course, be of immense service to the revolutionists. It would result in the free shipment of arms and men to the island in support of the insurgents cause, and would give them the moral and material support Which they so greatly desire.
 Spanish officials say that but for the hope that the United States may recog- nize Cuban belligerency the revolution would collapse within thirty days.
 Mr. Marti, in pursuance to the pro- gramme already outlined will be elected president of the Cuban provisional gov ernment, which it is purposed to estab- fish at an early date.
 Senor Muruaga, the retiring Spanish minister to the United States. will leave Washington tonight for New York, where he will remain few days prior to his departure from the country. It is not improbable that Muruaga may visit Havana before leaving the western hemisphere in order to fuily acqualnt himself with the situation of affairs in Cuba, so that upon his arrival in Madrid he may be able to furnish the Spanish ministry with an intelligent account of the insurrection, as well as of public sentiment in this country with reference to Cuban rebels.
 After a short stay in Madrid Senor Muruaga will proceed to Paris and make that city his headquarters during the period he shall temporarily remain from active work in the Spanish diplomatic service.
