THE "HAYsEED.n %

Written by Lionel +. johnson, Freshman in tn
State Agricultural College of oregon.1
Where the clear Willamette foweth
By Corvallis, old and still,
There the rustic "Hayseed' goeth
To the college on the hill.
From the many growing counties
Scattered DER the Webfoot State,
To this place of college learning
"Hayseeds'' yearly congregate'
When the dews of early autumn
Fall upon the withered grass,
You may see them entered safely
In the ''prep." or freshman class.
Some so clumsy, green and awkward
That they tremble when they speak,
While perhaps touch of crimson
Steals across the the tawny cheek.
But, with years of careful training
Added to some common sense,
You will see the humble "Hayseed'
Has improved himself immense"
He has changed his awkward manners
And the clothes he used to wear
For a suit of navy blue
And military air.
Al the pencil of the artist
On the paper leaves its trace,
So the touch of education
Leaves its lines upon the face.
May our free and growing nation
Ever be preserved from harm,
And its reputation honored
By the student from the farm.

Silver q Nay.StatiOn.

The Louisville Courier-J Journal argues
that the free silver agitation Is only a
way station on the road to flat money.
1t says: 1.-THE mass of those who rally
to the silver banner care nothing for
silver nor yet for gold. What they wish
is cheap currency. The silver miners
and their attorneys tell them that the
government stamp can add the so cents
lacking in the bullion value of the sill
yer dollar. They admit it, and are
strengthened in the belief that it can
add 100 cents as we'll as so. The min
ing element proposes to throw off so
per cent. of the debts of their allies.
The latter, not to be outdone in gen
erositly, propose to throw off the other
30 per cent.
The mining element has the most
money, but the others have the num-
bers They look on free silver as only
way station to irredeemable paper.
Ii has leaked out shat the populists on
the committee on resolutions at Mem
phis compelled the others TO strike out
the words redemption money from the
platform, they being 'agin redemption.
They argued that there could be o
such thing AS redemption money. as
indeed. there cannot be when the coun-
try is flooded with irredeemable paper
in quantities so great as to exceed the
resources of the strongest government
to redeem. There was no redemption
for the French assignats or the Con-
federate currency These are the
models which the populists propose for
our imitation in establishing a cur
rency."

" hat the South Can Do.

1t is evident that the South has at
hand, and therefore cheap, all the raw
materials entering into manufactures;
that its labor and cost of living are
cheaper than at the North; that it
can, in consequence, manufacture
goods of all kinds at less cost than the
North or the West; that it can not
only supply the home demand, but
also export goods with profit; that in
the finer lines of manufactures it is ex-
tending it's operations with success;
and that, to compete with it, wages in
the North must be reduced. With all
these advantages on it's side the fault
will be with the South if it fails to
reach out it's hands and take what ma
ture has SO kindly offered.-From sim

CalamIties Attending a Deprecated
Currency.

Undoubtedly it might be possible, by
making dollar worth fifty cents, to
bring about a condition of monetary
affairs when it would take two dollars
to buy what one will now purchases;
but more certain and expeditions
way to depreciate the currency, if that
is the aim, would be to start the gov
eminent paper. mills going and issue
paper dollars. If prices are to be in
creased through the depreciation of
the purchasing agent-mOney-it GER
| tainly would not he an unmixed bless
| ing. Unless wages increased in the
| same proportion as other commodities,
| it is evident that the wage Garner
would not be benefited. As shown by
the report of the Senate Finance Com
mittee, wages averaged over thirty per
cent higher in 1891 than in 1860. Ac-
cOrding to the census of 1890, the earn
ings of labor increased over forty per
cent. as compared with the prior CEN
sus-a period of ten years. If, there
fore, the staple necessities of life have
fallen largely in price in recent
years, an immense advantage has
been reaped by the wage Garner.
| There never has been period when
the money paid the laboring man in

necessities of life as to day. The
greatest calamity which could posi-
bly, happen to him would be to double
the price of the commodities which he
must use by depreciating the value of
the dollar in which he is paid. All
persons living on fixed incomes would
suffer severely. The deposits in the
savings banks of the United States,
owned by the laboring men and wo-
men, aggregate 100000. These
deposits have been made in money OF
bankable funds of the present stand
ard of value, and to day are payable
in money interconvertible with gold
Under free silver coinage every dollar
of these deposits and the deposits in
all the commercial banks of the cOun
try, aggregating the enormous sum Of
81, 900, 000,0 900. could be paid and would
be paid in legal dollars of about one
half the present purchasing value OF
the dollar. The value of every insur-
ance policy and every pension would,
in the same way, be curtailed one
half.-t'rom ''How Free Silver Would

Hints on CheerfulneSs.
From Harper,s Round Table

"Cheer" and Comfort There are
always chances in life to do both, for
turn where you will, there are those
who are in need of help. Not always
bodily help. Often those who have ev
cry earthly thing they need-shelter,
money, food, clothing, books, all sorts
of opportunities-are in want of the
heavenly things which "cheern and
comfort" mean. They are depressed,
low in their spirits, sad, and troubled.
They are even cross and disagreeable
because they are unhappy. To such
persons young people. with bright faces
and light hearts, can bring both the
| cheer that gives courage and the com
fort that takes away pain. You haven't
to do anything in grand and heroic
fashion either. Simply be yourselves,
and let the gladness that is in you bub
BILE up and overflow, and you will make
tired people happier.
Two school girls sat behind me in a
car the other day, chatting together in
low voices. and laughing immoderately
every few minutes at the happenings
OF their day. Bless them, the sweet,
gay, merry hearted creatures The
car seemed lonesome after they reached
their station, and went tripping along
the road up the long hill to their home
out OF sight from my point of view.
Just be yourselves, dears, and you will
make older people happy. l sent a
loving little word of thanks after nv
school girls, for they had been a help
to me.
One day, passing a church on a city
street, read this announcement on a
bulletin board at the door, 1.-THE Pleas
ant Words Society will meet at four
o'clock" Wasn't that fine? The "pzeas-
ant words" society! Whatever we
think OF, however we feel, we may
speak pleasantly, our words and our
tones being in our own control. The
effort to speak pleasantly will usually
cause US to feel pleasant, and it is pleas.
ant people-people who please-who
get together and form societies and
clubs. Who ever heard of a Fault
finders Society or a Cross Words So
ciety? Fretful fault finders have to sit

A Southern Object Lesson.

The construction of macadamized
roads around Charlotte, N. c., is at
tracing considerable attention else
where as well as in the section deriving
benefit from this progressive move
The engineer in charge furnishes the
following facts in reference to the
building of these roads which are
worthy of consideration by parties
everywhere who are looking into the
important matter of lettering our pub
lie highways :
Most of the stone is furnished by the
farmers, the county paying forty cents
per cubic yard for the stone piled on
the roadside at designated places. A
small proportion of the stone is quar-
ried by the .convicts.
The cost about $2S00 per mile.
The county now has about thirty
three miles of first class macadamized
roads.
The number of convicts now engaged
in road building is about eighty.
1t costs the county about twenty
six cents per day for each convict
maintained and worked on the roads.
This cost includes food, clothing,
shelter and guarding. The convicts
live in camps at points along the road
near where the road building is being
done. The shelter is cheap structure
of wood and canvas, something better
than tent.
The advantages of using convict la
Dor are:
a. That an organized force can be
better maintained than could be done
with free labor for road building.
Co. 1t is cheaper than free labor
would be.
3d. 1t frees the county from the ex-
pense of keeping prisoners without any
return value.
a. 1t engages convict labor in
healthful occupation without bringing
it in competition with free labor.
o. 1t is the best possible punish
ment for the common criminal.
Co., 1t cures the tramp nuisance.
CD The result good roads, is bene-
faction.
The county owns a crushing plant,
consisting of a stone crusher, a forty
horse power engine and boiler. 1t also
owns heavy steam roller, screening
apparatus, carts, mules, etc.
Lands in the county have been ma
terially increased in value as a result
of the improved condition of the
roads.
Many new settlers have been at
tracted by the new roads.
Considerable capital has been in
vested in enterprises in Charlotte be-
cause of the good impressions made by
the good roads leading out of the
city.
The road building is done entirely
by convict labor, excepting only a few
skilled workmen.

WHEN THE MERCURY RISES.

The man whose rune it is to take
The weather as it comes,
Without q word of fuss, finds lie
A pudding full Of plums.
He doesn't care how low or nigh
The mercury has got.
And even when it's mid July..
He hardly knows It's hot.
But he who, when the mercury
Goes up to eighty-five,
Makes such a fuss that every one
Regrets that he's alive.
Thus makes himself unhappier
Than he was meant to be,
And feels the heat at Seventy-two
AS if 'twere ninety three.
So take warning from these lines
It's good advice, though free
And when the hot days really come
Don't watch the mercury.
Just go about your daily tasks
Regardless of the heat,
And you will find that every day
Your life will grow more sweet.
