Treatment of Hog Cholera.
Farmers Bulletin, No. "a, issued by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture on hog cholera, says that the
most efficaclous formula that has been
tried for the disease is as follows:
Pounds
Wood charcoal. Observation-Disclosures.
sulphur.
Sodium chloride.
Sodium bicarbonate. ..... z
Sodium hypOsulphite. ............"...........
SODIUM sulphate....... ................ L
Anthony sulphide.. ................. L
These ingredients should be COM
pletely pulverized and thoroughly
mixed.
The dose of this mixture is a large
tablespoonful for each 200 pounds weight
of hogs to be treated, and 1t should be
given only once day. When hogs are
affected with these diseases they should
not be fed on corn alone, but they should
have at least once day soft feed, made
by mixing bran and middlings, or mid
dlings and corn meal, or ground oats
and corn, or crushed wheat with hot
water, and then stirring into this the
proper quantity of the medicine. Hogs
are fond of this mixture, it increases
their appetite, and when they once taste
of food with which it has been mixed
they will eat 1t though nothing else
would tempt them.
Animals that are very sick and that
will not come to the feed should be
drenched with the medicine shaken up
with water. Great care should be exer
cised in drenching hogs or they will be
suffocated. Do not turn the hog on it's
back to drench 1T. but pull the cheek
away from the teeth so as to form a
pouch, into which the medicine may be
slowly poured. 1t will flow from the
cheek into the mouth, and when the hog
finds out what it is, it will stop squeal-
ing and swallow. In our experiments
hogs which were so sick that they would
eat nothing have commenced to eat very
soon after getting dose of the remedy,
and have steadily improved until they
appeared perfectly well.
This medicine may also be used as a
preventive of these diseases, and for this
purpose should be put in the feed of the
whole herd. Care should of course be
observed to see that each animal receives
its proper share. In cases where it has
been given fair trial, it has apparently
cured most of the animals which were
sick and has stopped the progress of the
disease in the herds. 1t also appears to
be an excellent appetizer and stimulant
of the processes of digestion and assimi
lation, and when given to unthrifty hogs
it increases the appetite, causes them to
take Oh flesh, and assume a thrifty ap-
pearance.

Il MEAN "CUSS."

A man who owes over ten years sub.
scription notified the postmaster to
mark it "refused'' and fire it back.
We have heard Of several mean men.
Now there is the man who cultivated
a wart on the back Of his neck to but
ton his collar to, and the one who pas
tured his goat on his grandmOther's
grave, and the fellow who became rich
by giving his children a nickle to 60
to bed without supper and stealing
them when the children were asleep.
But for downright meanness the cuss
who takes paper for years and never
pays anything for it, and has it mark
ed refused, is meaner than the man
who votes at a caucus and then fails
to vote the same ticket at the polls.-
Graceville Enterprise.
There is a fellow down in Austin,
MIMI. named keenan,, who fills that
fill exactly. He would steal the
feathers out of the tail Of the Ameri-
can eagle and squirt tobacco juice in
it's eye. He took this paper for more
than year, refused to pay for it, and
then wrote us an insulting letter, de-
tying us to collect what he owed!
Mean! He saves his tooth-picks and
makes soup out Of them for his
Christmas dinner.

the report which gave the great
Northwest stern territory to freedom.
He opposed national bank; he
abhorred the aping of royalty now so
common and so offensive to every
American; he abolished the presiden-
tial levee and military ball; and in
stead of going to be inaugurated
chief magistrate in coach and six,as
his predecessors had done, he went on
horseback and hitched his horse to
have abolished all titles of honor
such as "excellency," "honora ble."
etc. He said: eff it be pos
sible to be certainly conscious Of
anything am conscious of feeling no
difference between writing to the
highest and the lowest being on
earth He extirpated the then popu-
lar delusion that "a national debt is
national blessing;' he "reorga nized
and rearmed the militia ''To secu-
liarize and republicanize the govern
ment were the paramount purpose
and the distinguishing feature of his
ad ministra tion." After forty years
of public life he died SO poor that Con-
gress had to purchase his library to
relieve the distress of his family. He
had none Of the Rothschild faculty to
accumulate trash. He died on tn tif-
tieth anniversary of the adoption by
Congress of the Declare tion of INDIE
pendence, his immortal masterpiece;
as if thereby God put his finger upon
him, land marked him out, as His great
instrument for the good of the human
family.
We hope the Peoples Party in it's
next national convention will identity
itself with the life and purposes and
principles of Thomas jefferson.
We hope THE REPRESENTATIVE

enough to stand squarely and firmly
upon the platform of the greatest of

REPUBLICAN, PRICES.

All the farmers need now is Repub-
lican prices for their crops.-Mankato
Free Press (Rep.)
God bless you. brother, they are get.
ting them; getting them socked right
into them; getting them right in the
neck:-Wheat 80 to ~ cents; oats II to
10 cents; potatoes nothing to cents;
barley 20 to % cents. and interest II to
100 per cent. The Republican party had
the House and Senate, and the Presi-
dent in 1873, when they demonetized
silver; and in 1894 there were more
Republican votes than Democratic
given to stop the purchase Of silver,
and close the minis against the white
metal; and John Sherman, rep, was a
bigger element in the dreadful work
than old abominable, abdominable
Cleveland, dem. Cleveland can plead
the fools excuse,-a lack Of gray mat

the world wide and century-old battle
to shrink the volume OF currency and
reduce the value of all products Of hui
man labor.
That is all there is of the present gil
gantic conflict. It is cunning selfish
ness against honest industry:-the
few cruel wolves against the many in
nocent sheep.
The world must rise up and take
possession of all power. and drive
the money-lenders into obscurity and
powerlessness. AS long as they rule
they will ruin. They cannot do other
wise. 1t is a necessity of their ma
ture. You might just as we'll put the
rats in charge of the granary, as give
the plunderers Of the people dominion
over the people. 1t will be simply
dominion Of despoilment. They seek
possession of power for no other pur-
pose. The entrance Of philanthropy
into their hearts would unfit them for
the business Of money-lending. A st.
Paul banker once said to me:-"If my
brother stood there. and told me that
IL ulu uOU leu tlllu have d
dollars Of the banks money, on insult
ticient security. he would blow his
brains out, right before my eyes, /
should have to tell him to shoot
away"
Can anybody think Of Jesus Christ
as banker? The thought is sacri-
ligeous, Judas Iscariot was the bank
er. 'He carried the bag.' And
Judas wanted more money, and sold his
Saviour for thirty pieces of silver
equal to about 1915 Of our money!
The worlds ideas have enlarged
since that primitive age.
Think OF a world ruled by lot Of
Judases! That's what we have now.
And the men who cried-"Crucify
him! Cruelty him!" are the leaders of
the two old parties; and Judas has
bioSsomed out into the house of
Rothschild; and Pontius Plate sits, in
an overfull chair. in the White House
at Washington. And Carlyle-but

record of any character base enough

degraded, de based, turn-coat John G.

The Minneapolis Times of Nov. 1,

SILVER DEPENDENT UPON GOLD.
The Times has received the follow
ing inquiries from subscriber in
Spencer, Wis:
Spencer, Wis, %. 95.
To the Editor Of the Times:
lam subscriber and reader Of your
daily, and knowing your position on
the mOney-question, venture to make
the following request:
am in correspondence and discus
sion with party who denies that sill
yer is dependent in any way upon gold
for it's circulation with it in this
country upon parity; he asserts that
so cents worth of silver goes for dol
lar simply and solely upon the fiat Of
the, law making it so circulate.
l have asserted that silver and sill
YER certiticat ties are redeemed in gold
by the government upon certain con-
tingencies.
Can you explain this and help me to
prove it, Respectfully,
C. X. RICHARDSON.
or course, silver and silver certif-
CAGES are redeem BILE in gold. A silver
dollar buys as much as a gold dollar,
merely because the government re-
deems it in gold. Take away the gov
ernment's support and it would be
worth little less than the Mexican
dollar. because the latter contains
little more silver. Every one Of the
APO, oOOO, 900 silver dollars coined since
1878 has been a dollar in name and
legal tender quality alone, while it's
intrinsic value .haS been steadily de-
clining in .all the markets of the
world.
Now observe the cunning of this
cuss.
Mr.. Richardson asks If silver is de-
pendent on gold-that is, are silver
dollars redeema BILE by the government
in gold, and is that the reason they
keep at par; or in it the fiat of the gov
eminent, expressed In their legal ten
der quality. And observe the an
swer:
"Of course silver and silver certif-
Gates are redeemable in gold"
And yet this scamp knows that this
is an absolute lie, that there is not a
single statute of the United States
which provides that silver COMES shall
be redeemed in gold coins or in silver
certificates or ANYTHING else We defy
the Times to quote any such act. Sill
yer stands by itself, solely and alone
on it's legal tender principle.
And this is the kind of ust, rotten
straw with which the old party jack
asses are fed. A handful Of CUFF and
an armful of lie. 's
And yet we are, Of course, the most
Intelligent people in the world, and
are willing to acknowledge it our
selves.

WHY NOT CELEBRATE?
DEBs GOES FREE NOV. 22D.


On Nov. % next Eugene V. Debs
will be discharged from the prison at
Woodstock, ILL.,. and it is proposed to
give him great reception in Chicago.
The Milwaukee Advance says:
"Several hundred delegates from La
Dor Unions, Peoples Party men, per-
sonal friends and sympathizers Of Mr..
Debs, and others interes ted in the Re-
from movement will go to Woodstock
on a special train to bring Mr.. Debs
back to Chicago, where, in the even
ing, a tremendous mass meeting will
be held in battery D, which seats over
5000 people. Hon. Lyman Trumbull,
Henry d. Lloyd, Clarence S. barrow
and others will speak, besides Mr..
Debs. The com mittee having charge
Of the arrangements are receiving
numerous letters from refOrmerS in
other cities who wish to take part in
the demonstration, and it is expected
that large delegations of labor men
will come to Chicago on the occasion"
Why should not the workingmen Of
Minneapolis and St. Paul unite in Civ
ing Mr.. Debs similar greeting? He
has been imprisoned upon the order
of single individual, judge of the
United States Court, with out indict-
ment or trial by jury. He represents
a principle as old as Magma Carta, and
dear to every man who speaks the
English language. The right Of trial
by jury is, in the language of the Dec
laraton of Independence, right in
estimable to them (the people) and
formidable to tyrants only" is one
of the counts in that world-famous
Indictment against King George that
he had deprived the Colonists, "in
many cases, of the benefits of trial by
jury"
We do not countenance violence or
mob law, but we can not consent to
the abolition Of our most sacred rights
as men, because the rights of proper
ty are alleged by some to
have been endangered. After the
tempest is over we should all swing
back to the clearly defined principles
of constitutional governments; and
chiefest among these is the right of
trial by jury.

ANOTHER TRICK.

Jackson Republic: There is no
lodging the fact that any policy, no
matter by what name it is known,
that closes the factories of the coun-
try, that destroys our industries. that
robs the laborer of employment and
fills the country with vast army of
unemployed men and women who
have no means of livelihood. that robs
the farmer of his market, that robs
the people of confidence, that disturbs
business and fills the people with
want, misery and despair, is an I'M
American and unpatriotic policy.
Now all this is intended as crack
at that poor old bundle of stuffed rags
called the Democratic party: as if the
Democratic tariff produced all this
ruin And yet this knave knows we'll
enough that the prosperity of the peo-
pie was destroyed before the tariff act
was passed by Congress. Cleveland's
extra session of Congress was called
and met months before any action
was taken on the Tariff; and Congress
at that session had not word to say
about the Tariff; but the whole pur-
pose was to kill silver, by destroying
even the partial demand for sill YER
bullion under the Sherman law And
now these plaus ible wretches are try
ing to cheat the people into the belief
that the Democratic tariff legislation
ruined the country; and that the
remedy is to give the government into
the hands Of the other Samese twin
the Republican party. Shame on such
rascality! The game played by the
thin ble-riggers who follow circuses is
nothing to it.

4 MOB OF MURDERERS.
w HAT 1T MEANS.

Good friends, -Did you ever stop to
think that never since Noah's flood
has there been such galaxy Of mon
strOuS and abnormal and cruel vii
lains. either convicted or undergoing
trial, as there is today?
There is Holmes, who established a
private graveyard in every city he
visited. There is Durrant, who Sc
lected the belfry of the church he wor-
shipped in for the murder of two pure,
innocent girls: and after assaulting
and killing them stripped them Of
the ir rings, clothes, etc. Then there
is our own Harry Hayward, the child
of wealth and luxury,-who made love
to poor, honest girl, borrowed all her
money and ornaments, and then hired
a ruffian to Stay her for an insurance
on her life. And there is Kent of
North Dakota; who employed his hired
man, under promise of large reward,
to kill his unsuspecting wife.
These infinite scoundrels, to our
shame belt said, are all Americans;
the out-crop and product of our high
civilization. Every one of them we'll
educated men. Neither Europe, Asia
nor Africa ever produced a parallel to
this group of monsters; antiquity
scarce knew anything equal to any one
of them. If accident begot them in
this era we might shudder; but if
they are the types and figures of what
the age is coming to, then God help our
country.
The money-grabbers are taking the
heart and consciences out of the world
and reducing us to a breed of tigers
and wolves. Our corrupt political
parties, our court-buying and jury
bribing corporations, have made the
community rotten to the bone. The
flesh Of society can hardly hold to
lains, lost in admiration of successful
plunderers, takes short cut, by MUIR
der, to wealth. Holmes is simply a
less cautious Jay Gould. The former
will die on the scaffold; the latter
mingles his thievng blood with the
remnants of the rotten aristocracy Of
France;-one brace of played-out rob-
bers reinforced by the new spoil of an
other.
In heavens name, do we not need a
new birth Of virtue, honor and decen-
cy. And can you obtain it through
the old parties of this country. the
very vehicles Of corruption and knay-
cry?

PLUTOCRACY MAKES A FAIR DIVIDE.
We sent a towering load of oats to
town the other day: and our deputy
sat on top of it; and we were reminded
of Millions lines:

And thereupon we apologized to our
self, and -"Everything is
