The Farmers object Lesson.

A good, honest farmer was standing
in front of the court house, yesterday,
looking mournfully at his tax receipt.
He said: 81 brought a bale of cotton
here five years ago, sold it for $3.50.
With this money l paid my taxes, $22;
got a dress for my wife, S.; shoes for
the children, Sc; barrel of -four, $3.50;
fifty pounds of sugar, 81; ten pounds of
coffee, 81, and went home happy with
$3.75 in my pocket for the preacher. ]
brought in a bale today, sold it fol
$3.50; paid my taxes, $22.25, and have
quarter left. They tell me l can get
flour and frock and sugar and shoes for
half / paid then, but 1t pears to mt
l haint got the half. I've about made
up my mind to invest this quarter in
United States bonds and howl for the
gold standard"

TO FACE 1T OR DIE!
MCCLURE DIAGNOSES THE DEM
OCRATIC MALADY.
It Is Chaos or Death?-Not a Single
Hopeful State North, South, East or
West for Democracy - Cleveland

The Times, Oem.,) edited by A. X.
Mcclure, in long editorial headed "Is
1t Chaos or Death?" says: "The atti-
.ude of the democratic organization
before the country today is that of
utter chaos, and the only problem for
the leaders to solve is whether that
once great party can be restored to its
respect and usefulness, or whether the
sequel to it's chaotic condition shall
efface it from the history of American
politics.
To-day the democratic party has
not a single hopeful state north of
Mason and Dixons line; it has not a
single hopeful state in the west, and
the southern states are all trembling
in the throes of threatened revolu-
ton.
'The party has been condemned by
the people with an emphasis that has
never been approached in the history
of our political contests, and the over
whelming defeat of 1894 called out no
craftsmanship in the democratic coun-
ellis in congress, and intensified the
madness of democratic lawmakers in
stead of Christening and recalling them
to the lines of patriotism.
But for the heroic integrity and
patriotism of President Cleveland the
credit of the nation would have been
dishonored, and business chaos and
/ general distrust must have prevailed
throughout the land.
/ No party thus poisoned with dis
! honesty in its vitals can survive, and if
there is to be a democratic party in
the future it must be promptly organ
/ lied on the basis of honest government,
honest money, honest taxes, and honest
elections. Perfdy or laundering in
republican craftsmanship will not re-
store the democracy to public conf
dence. 1t may destroy the republican
organization, but it will not revive
democracy. 1t must be in a position
to command the honest men of every
political faith, or it must die, and if il
cannot retrieve it's honor and it's fidel-
ity to the country, the sooner it shall
die the better it will be for is followers.
THE time has come when intelligent
and considerate men will cast party
lines to the winds to sustain the integ-
rity of the national faith and the tran
guilty of business and trade. The
Times will support no man for presi-
dent in 1896 who is not squarely for
honest money, for this is the para.
mount issue. The tariff question is
settled, not only for the present, but
for the future.
National and state credit must be
established so clearly and positively
that the whole world will accept it, fail
ing in that we must pay our thous
ands of millions of obligations helt
abroad, not one-half of which could be
paid with all the money of every kline
now in existence in the country. Tha
is the issue the democracy must face
and it must face it now. If it fails t,
do so it must die. With the democratic
leaders rests the solution of the prob
J lem whether the present overthrow O
, democracy shall be temporary chaos O
death. Which shall it be?'-People'

humanity was apparent in every para

ual hardening of her heart we cannot
tell. Inevitable petrifaction must follow
if revulsion to the snobbery of the
national capital does not take place in

every state legislature in the republic,

There is no tragedy like that of
poverty. No pain can grind the human
heart like that which comes to the
husband and wife when they face the
cold fact that he is out of work, and
then look at the tender faces of the
little ones, so confident that the father
can take care of them. Yet we know
that in thousands of homes in the hap
py land of America this tragedy is be-
ing enacted. If we knew that some
fiend was passing from house to house
killing women, and dashing children's s
brains out, how long would the good
people permit it to continue? Yet pow
erty is worse. The slow, dull agony at
heart, the faint flicker of expectation
when returning feet are heard, the
death weight on the heart when she
reads on his face mo work. This is
pain which no rich and happy woman
can understand. One must feel it-one
must know how cruelty precious dol
lar can seem-to understand what real
suffering is. One must realize what il
is to be cold and hungry in a city
full of happy, careless people who
waste their precious money, who reve
in and grow tired of the light and
warmth and food, for want of which
little children are dying, in order tt
know the meaning Of real heart

Miss Kate Field in her Washington
speaks of the populists as the dis
gruntled tailings" of both political par
ties" We are very sure Miss Field has
read history, and that she has noted
the fact that, springing in protest out
OF the present which has been nour-
lshed by the past, has come every re-
form and all reformers. Using her syni-
clsm we could mock every noble effort
OF humanity to make better its condi-
uons. We could even sneer at the
great Galileean who was pre-eminently
"disgruntled" with the two~old sects,
those scribes and pharisees. The cul-
tured editor of the Washington can
not be excused for her contemptuous
treatment of the reformers of today
Her vision is too broad, her historic
sense is too keen, to charge her with
ignorantly reviling the two million
men who demand a more complete as
cendancy of ethics in our civilization.
Her offense consists in yielding to the
rule of the popular of this culminat-
Ing age. She is foolishly weak in this
particular, and by so yielding she
weaves the shroud of oblivion for her
self and her paper. Just so did those
Boston editors who reviled William
Lloyd Garrison in the fifties. William
Lloyd Garrison's cause triumphed,
however. He is today one of the few
lmmortals yet given to American his
tory. Those fastidious journalists and
oublicists who regarded him IS a
aespicable failing" died when their
their hearts stopped pumping, and
Garrison lives growing greater with
each generation. We remember well,
years ago, how all that Miss Field
wrote and spoke had the elemental
strength of reform in it. Her love for

The Theory of overproduction.

An attempt has been made to account
for the fall of prices upon the theory
that there is overproduction. 1t is un-
reasonable to ask us to believe that
there has been an overproduction all
along the line for twenty years, and the
fact that millions of men have not
enough food or clothing is sufficient to
demonstrate that the theory is absurd.
Take wheat for example. The belief is
general that this country constantly
expands it's wheat growing area. In
truth, we had 100000 acres less in
wheat in 1890 than we had in 1880. The
wheat crops of the world are not ex-
cessive. They do not increase as fast as
the requirements of the population de-
mand. Here are the figures for ten

It is urged that Russia and India az

pouring out wheat in extraordinary
quantities. In truth, the exports of
Russian wheat, last year, were less than
in 1890 and 1891. India began to export
wheat only after 1873. She does so
because her great annual tribute to
England, like ours, is paid in commodi-
ties; and as prices fall, greater guam
tity is required to pay the same amount
OF debt. India and Russia are famine
countries. The people have no surplus
food for export. When they do export
food, they do so because they must, not
at all because they have more than
they can eat,

The lemented corn, or callosity pro-
duced by pressure, congestion and 1u-
creased formation of epidermis, may
be softened by moisture, as by soak
ing in warm water, by the application
of a starch or soap poultice; and, be-
ing softened, the thick cuticle may be
thinned by scraping with blunt
knife, or the albuminous epidermis
may be dissolved by an alkaline solu-
ton, with moderate friction.
When the thickering has been re-
duced sufficiently, it may be kept
down by daily washing with soap.
The soft corn requires removal with
the knife; il it he of moderate size n
single pinch with a puir of pointed
scissors will effect its removal, while
the hard callosity will require patient
digging with the point of not too
sharp knife. The eye of the corn may
be always made visible by rubbing tho
part with eau do cologne or spirits of
wine, and any remains of the corn
may be detected in this way, either
during or after the operation.
The removal of corn may be very
considerably aided by the use of the
compound tincture of iodine painted
on the swelling. Soap and water, so
useful to the skin in many ways, are
expressly serviceable to feet afflicted
with corns, and particularly when
they are soft corns. Daily washing
with soap, and the subsequent inter-
position of piece of cotton wool be-
tween the toes, may be considered MS
a cure for soft corn. In these cases
the skin may be hardened by spong-
ing with spirits of camphor after tho
washing. Ths cottonwood should be
removed at night, and this is good
time for the camphorated spirits. -

The Food of Birds.

Recent investigations conducted by
ornithologists and entomologists in
widely separated localities show that
farmers are often in error in regard to
the usefulness as we'll as destructive
habits of many of the common kinds
of birds. Among the latest reports on
this subject is one from DR.. c. Hart
Merriam, chief of tho division of
ornithoiogy of the Department OF
Agriculture, giving tho results of his
examination OF the contents of the
stomach of hawks, owls, crows, black
birds. and other birds that are sup
posed, and in fact generally believed,
to be the enemies of tho farmer.
Several States give OF have given
bounties for killing some of these
birds, but DR.. Merriam saws that
seventy-tive per cent. of their food
was found to be field mice, grasshop-
pers, crickets, etc. which were inini.
tely more injurious to crops thad tho
birds. The charge usually made
against crows is that they pull up the
sprouting corn in spring and attack it
when the grain is in the milk later in
the summer, and destroy eggs, all of
which is undoubtedly true to limited
extent and when they are driven to it
by scarcity of other kinds of food, but
examination of their stomachs shows
that they eat noxicus and destructive
insects, and that although twenty five
per cent. of their food is corn, it is
mostly waste corn picked up in tho
fall and winter. In regard to eggs, it
was found that the shells were eaten
to very limited extent for their lime.
The crow appears to be general scav-
enger, not only devouring insects of
all orders, but various animal sub
stances of both land and water. New

Fathers Must Be Careful There.

| Among the Indians OF British Guiana
usage bids the father so to bed when u
child is born and allows the mother to
return at once to her household duties.
James Rodways recently published
book on that country explains the GUS
tom by superstition which attaches
the spirit of the child TO the body of the
father The author says:
1.-The father must not hunt, shoot or
fell trees for some time, because there
is an invisible connection between him
self and the babe, whose spirit accom-
panies him In all his wanderings, and
might be shot, chopped or otherwise
injured unwittingly. He therefore re-
tires to his hammock, sometimes hold
ing the little one, and receives the con-
grotulations of his friends, as well as
the advice of the elder members of the
community. If he has occasion to
travel, he must not go very far, as the
child and spirit might get tired, and, in
passing n creek, must first lay across
1t little bridge or bend leaf into the
shape of n canoe for his companion"

contents of a dozen barrels of salt
