appliance devised by the housewife, the
storekeeper. the farmer ard others to

into play an entirely new principle in

l write to say to you that The Cen

ing for June 125h and 1871, 1896, and
ask that every State South, West and
North send a delegation to this Con

immediate restoration Of silver at a

On Friday morning, after the great

expressing themselves as wanting to

find no oneindependent enough to start
it. Those who knew could see thatthis

The Major Very Apprehensive About His
Crop of Demorcats--Inevitable
Fate of the Goldbugs.

B.-"Hellol Mr.. Editor"
R-"Hello! Major. What can 1 dc
for you to day9"
B.-"I want sum infermashun er
bout farm matters, an / want it quick.
You know Betsy sed sum time ergo that
it would take a lot ov cool weather ter
save the dymakratic crop. l thought
she wuz joking, but blamed If they
amt d~isapearin' rite erlong durin' the
past few days. l recon they are readln'
Coins Financial School, or some other
pizen free coinage literature. l would
list like ter git holt ov that Teller Har
vey erbout fifteen minutes. I'd larn
him how ter blast awl my hopes in a
few short weeks. Betsy il jist sittin'
back latin fit ter break her neck over
my troubles. You are sort ov a farmer
an I want you ter tote fair an tell me
how ter save a few dymakrat votes out
ov the wreck"
R.-'Of course I'll tell you all I can.
You might NOW your democratic crop
and cure it as hay. But it will be as
dry as dead broomsedge when cured.
You might sell the stuff to the gold
hugs who would make soup to feed the
unemployed Forkingmen who vote
the old party tickets. If that plan
does not strike you favorably try the
silo. Almost any kind of green stuff
can be preserved in an air tight silo.
In this case it should also be whiskey>
tight. But to make palatable food the
forage must be palatable when put in
the silo. Green oak leaves may be
put in a silo, but you could not winter
your stock on them because they con
tain but little nutritive substance.
Ho Wever, if you merely want to save
afew Democrats as ~curiosities probably
in alcohol. But, you need not be
alarmed. The editor of the Charlotte
Observer and a few other Democrats
will be here, no matter what happens.
Democrats are like the poor; you will
always have some of them around.
Those who are so unfortunate as to
spend their eternity in hades will be
RECALLED daily with speeches on the
tariff question and the importance Of
''sound money" Many prominent poll
ticians will spend millions Of years
holding red hot gold coins in their
mouths as a punishment for the lies
they are uttering in favor of a gold
standard. The Scriptures tell us that
the rich man who ''fared sumptuously
every day" and who treateded Lazarus
so ungraciously, afterwards lifted up
his eyes in hell and saw Lazarus in
Abraham's bosom, in Heaven. Then
he wanted a drop of water to cool his
parched tongue. But he didn't get it.
The goldbug of to day will as surely be
punished. He will have to ais yer for
his beartless oppression, his cruel dis
honesty, his false reasoning. The many
suicides, the woes of the unemployed,
the suffering of countless thousands,
the unrequitted toll will be placed in
the balance against the few good acts
he may have done. 1t is easier for a
camel to go through the eye of a needle
than it is for a goldbug to enter che
Kingdom of Heaven"
Bob, if you are goin' ter preach
Ina not in it. You are tryin' ter ipsin
uate that goldbug will be a firebug
after awhile. I wuz simply talkin'
erbout democracy. which haint got a
thing ter do with whut you are talkin'
erbout. Gudebye."
