It confirmed the people in their views.
 We don't need any new party to carry out these views. We only want to keep the time-serving dema- gogues out of the control of the party deliberations and give the peo- pie chance, and this will happen as sure as that the four sides of square are equal.
 If planter needs hundred hands to cultivate his plantation, half white and half black, and he dis misses half of them. of course the til- lage must be confined to half the area, or the whole area be half worked and butchered up in its cul- tivation, and thus bring ruin to his farming prospects. That is just what the dismissal of silver from our currency has done for us. The peo- pie are going to restore it to it's field of duty. This, l think, they should do; but my thoughts amount to nothing in the matter, for it now be- comes their thoughts, and, while I know you differ from me. l wish you would publish this letter.

YOU CAN'T T STOP IT, Tn
Says a Well-Known Pine Bluff Attorney
 In Speaking of the Silver Craze.

 Sir.-You can't stop it. No, and { in fact, you should not want to. Stop what? Why, the so-called sil- yer craze. Warp the question with all the subtlities the gold bugs can weave into it and still, in bold relief, silver stands out the poor mans money. It is not the millionaire's but it is the peoples money. Oi course, Wall street and Cleveland feel like saying, though they are afraid to say it, like Vanderbilt: Damn the people," But the people are up on their pastures now, and they, ignoring profanity, say down with monopolies.
 The letter of the President to his Chicago adherents, which it was originally planned should be sent to New York, and which was changed through kind of policy flummery to the Windy City," for appearances sake-a kind of cover against the
 
 was a mere fiuXion necessary to att tempt to drown out or dampen the free silver fervor; but, like irrigation on the rice fields of South Carolina, it will simply make more and better rice.
 The issue now is, not whether the National credit be maintained, but it has got down to that bottom ques- tion, how can the masses live?
 But, it is said, is the United States able to assume the responsibility of recognizing the currency of the world? She does not need to do this 1t is only necessary for her to revolu- tionize the old system. Just like she did with her little Continental army of patriots, revolutionized the gov ernmental system of the world, and made every man sovereign, instead monarch. It is much more able to cope with this financial system and fix it her own way than it was in it's infancy to establish this wonderful Republic. The monarch of gold is with our great strength of resources much more capable of being dis placed in our home rule than the monarch of Great Britain was in the establishment of our governmental system. We were weak and poor then; we are strong and rich now. We do not need credit. We do not need any exchange. We do not need to buy thing on earth; but if we do buy 1t as luxury. we can pay for it in commodities that the country supplying us needs more than we do theirs. But they say this will stifie

Review. The guild of bakers is nearly
as old, and that of the leather dressers,
or corvesars, dates from about the same
period. At first there was struggle
between the merchant guilds and the
craft guilds, as the one body naturally
strove to retain its monopoly of the
government of the town and the other
endeayored to share in its municipal
privileges. But the circumstances of
the time were such as to quick
ly unite, the two bodies in COM
mon resistance to the tyranny of
the sovereign power, or of the great
feudal lords. In turn, the monarch
found it good policy to foster the towns,
both with the object of developing their
wealth, and so of acquiring source of
revenue for himself, as well as of bring
ing into existence factor to counter
balance the overgrown power of the
mobiles.

EARTHQUAKE INCIDENTS.
Courageous Conduct and Marvellous Es-
capes of Turks.

capeS OF
A Constantinople correspondent of
the New York Tribune says that it will
probably never be known how many
persons were killed in that city by the
earthquake of last summer. The Turk
ISL government has a chronic hatred of
facts. and the newspapers were forbid
den to publish statistics of the earth
Quake. What are believed to be mod
crate estimates place the number of
deaths at about one hundred and fifty,
and the number of the wounded at
about six hundred.
The correspondent cannot help prais-
ing the courage Of the fremen stationed
on watch at the top of tower more
than two hundred feet high. They
stuck to their post, although the tower
swayed like flagstaff, and when the
fires broke out after the overthrow of
dwellings, they gave the signals as
usual.
Another case of a similar sort was
that of minaret builder who had gone
I'D to the top of minaret to remove
conical cap which the first shocks had
thrown askew. While he was there an
other shock occurred, and there was
another panic in the streets.
His assistants, who were in one OF
the galleries of the minaret, began to
run downstairs, and the mosque serv-
ants below shouted to him to come
down, but he stayed where he was
IF this is going to fall, " he said, 1T
will fall before l can get out OF it" and
he proceeded with his work.
Many wonderful escapes occurred.
Two men were walking together. A
Turk met them, and, as is not unusual
when a Turk meets foreigners, he
pushed in between them, instead of
turning to one side. At that instant
stone fell from the building above them,
and hit the Turk, who fell dead between
the two Mortified foreigners.
Bat the most marvellous escape was
that Of boy three years old. He was
running along the street at the base OF
the city wall just as one of the ancient
towers was overthrown. When the
dust cleared away he was discovered
pinned to the ground by great stones
living on his skirts on each side OF him,
but himself quite unhurt.

WANT WHAT THEY CAN'T GET.
How a Certain Little Human Weakness
Affects the Furniture Trade.

How a Certain Little Human Weakness
Affects the Furniture Trade.
John" said furniture salesman, the
other day, to the mover whom he had
summoned, ''this bedroom set is sold.
but it is not to be delivered just yet,
Move it out of the salesroom at once
and store it somewhere until 1 want it"
whats the use of moving it until you
send it up to me?" asked the purchaser,
idly. ''Why don't you leave it where it
is?"
The salesman, says New York ex-
change, uttered a queer little laugh
and said:
sit is evident that you were never in
the furniture business, or you would
not ask that question. If I should
mark that set sold and leave it here
in the salesroom in plain sight it would
probably lose us several good sales"
How SOP" asked the purchaser, with
an unbelieving look.
cit illustrates universal weakness of
human nature" laughed the salesman.
Everybody wants what he can't get,

to the average buyer as piece of fur
niture that somebody else has bought
before he came around. If 1 left that
bedroom set out marked sold half a
dozen persons would say before night
that it was exactly the set they wanted,
and when they heard there were no
duplicates they would fuss around en-
viously and nothing else in the estab-
lishment would satisfy them.
Eventually they would go off dis
contentedly and buy elsewhere, though
the chances are that if there were no
sold tag on the set none of them
would give it more than a passing
glance, while a fair proportion of them
would purchase other sets. 1t is lit
tie human weakness, that is all"
So arises one of the tricks of the
trade. When dealer sells piece of
furniture of which he has no duplicates
he hustles it out of the salesroom as
quickly as he can, lest it lose him other
trade. But when he sells piece of
furniture of which he has duplicates
he puts big sold" tag on it and
leaves it in open sight as long as posi-

MERCHANTS ANDCRAFT GUILDS
A Sort of Trades Union That Existed In
the Twelfth Century.

During the twelfth century merchant
guilds arose in ell the towns of impor-
tance in England; and in the next CEN
fury further development of town
life took place in the rise of craft guilds.
These associations were composed of
the artisans engaged in GER
tain industry in particular
town. By the growth of popula-
ton, it is evident that when the
merchant guilds had attained their
first century there would be consid-
cradle number of persons dwelling in
the town who would not be eligible to
membership of the guild either as land
holders or as the heirs of guildsmen.
Many of these would be skilled in some
pursuit or calling; and naturally they
would adopt the best means of secur-
ing their rights and protecting their in
terests by taking common action against
the rest of the community
The earliest craft guilds were those
of the weavers and fullers Of wooden
cloth. says a writer in the Westminster

The Electric Weed Killer.


Cosmopolitan there were pointed out
some of the beneficial effects produced
by electricity upon the growth of plants;
but an overdose will injure or kill a
plant or man. When lightning strikes
tree the latter is frequently killed,
even if it be not blown into sliverS, as som e.
times happens. This Is belle to be
due to the heating effects of the cure Mt,
which raise the temperature of the sap
far above the boiling point, and conse-
quently to steam of high pressure, which
expodes the tree or such part of it as
conveys the current. If the current be
not so strong as to produce steam, it may
so much heat the sap as to expand and
burst the plant tissues, which will be
eqally destructive to It's life.
Advantage has been taken of this
quality of an electric current to destroy
the weeds that grow by railroad tracks.
To keep such roads free from weeds in
summer requires the constant work of
many men with a hoe. Weeds have
great vitality, and to kill them their
roots must be dug out. If only cut off
next to the ground, they spring up
afleSh, and but little the worse for the
temporary mutilation. A mild current
of electricity acts as slim ulant, to such
plants, but current strong enough to
disntegrate the tissues will kill them.
To accomplish this in a large way, Car
is provided with an engine, an alternat-
ing dynamo, and an induction-coil suit
able for raising the electric pressure to
twenty or thirty thousand volts. One
terminal of this induction-coil is con-
nected to the earth through the Car
trucks. A we'll insulated cable leads
from the other terminal to a metallic
strip behind the Car, which stretches
across the track short distance above
the ground, and is provided with many
fine wires pendant from it, like the teeth
of rake. Through these teeth the
electric discharge takes place and any
weed touched receives deadly current
through it. AS the current follows the
better conducting part of the plant-the
liquid in it's cellS-it traverses the root
to it's very tips, and the whole is cleo
trocuted, it has been struck by lightning.
AS the Car is pulled along the track
every weed is at once killed, and with
such an apparatus many miles of rail
way may be quickly and cheaply freed
from weeds.
A similar plan is feasible for Kidding
cultivated fields from such troublesome
pests as thistles, daisies, chicory, or any
other whose stems at any time reach
above the grass around them. A two
wheeled vehicle like a horse hay-rake,
carrying a suitable secondary battery, a
mechanical current alternator, and a
proper induction coil, could be driven
across field and kill every plant it's
teeth should touch. Acres of valuable
land could be rid of it's coarse weeds in
a day, and with the assurance that no
plant once fairly struck would eyer be
resurrecte d.-A. E. Dolbear, in Cosmo-
politan.

selected to meet in convention at Or
lando on Thursday the 5th Of Septem Der
at 2 o'clock p m.
1t must be apparent to the people of
all the counties that suffered by the
freeze of February, that it will be worse
than folly to attempt to raise another
vegetable crop unless there can be Sc
cured a radical reduction in transporta-
tion rates, and also some concerted and
systematic process of distributing the
crop. 1t is also apparent that the plant
ing of nothing but vegetables will result
in production too great in the present
| financial condition of the country tor
the demand, and that it is necessary to
so diversity our crops for years to come
as at least to give the growers reason
able assurance of moderate profit.
We believe that if the convention is
held and through it's action the matter
of transportation rates is properly
brought before the transportation lines,
country that rates will be established so
radically lower than have existed in the
past as to warrant the hope of better re-
turns than we have been heretofore Oh
tanning.
We also believe that by concerted
action we will be able 10 put our crops
in the hands OF commission merchants
who will make honest and correct re-
turns of their sales and save something
to the shippers in the way of commissions
on those sales thereby securing to the
growers considerably larger percentage
of the proceeds of their crops when sold
than they now obtain.
! In view of the reports that we have
| been informed have been put in cir
culation, it may be proper to state that
there is absolutely nothing political in
this proposed convention, either directly
or indirectly. The sole and only pur-
pose is to secure concerted action that
will give relief to the people of the
several counties, that will retain our
population at home and attract settlers
from abroad, and consequently men Of
all political shades of opinion can freely
and unrestralnedly meet with view to
common end affecting the material
prosperity of the people.
