NOT FAR WRONG.

The money question, remarks the
Knoxville Tribune, does not afford
a test Of any mans Democracy.
There are a. good Democrats on
one side of the question as the
other. 1t wi | not do to say that
the man who favors the free coinage
OF silver is not Democrat, or the
man who opposes is not Demo-
Graf. 1t is question upon which
good Democrats may and do widely
differ. The test of Democracy and
loyalty will come when the party,
through its authorized delegates,
officially declares upon the question
in the national convention. All
State platforms will put their fra
mers in an embarrassing position,
and those who vote in opposition to
that platform will vote against the
national Democracy and in favor
OF the enemy. While the advocacy
Of either the one side OF the other
of the money question is not a test
of the voters Democracy, some Of
those who are most active and vio-
lent in their opposition are moved
more by personal motives, animosi-
ty, prejudice and revenge than from
honesty and inteligently-conceived
views and defined convictions as
to what policy would really be
wisest and hest for the country.

The celebrated DR.. Talmagc say
very truly that Il might rs well
preach against very busy ant hill
Or beehive rs to declaim the secret
societies, or to cry out against the
existing order OF things. Associa-
ton is q divine arrangement. Men
are made for companionship. No
life is or can he absolutely self
existent. We depend upon each
other. Secrecy is largely true of
both secular and sacred things.
Council or Lodge hall is not y church.
but all true beneficiary Orders owe
their existence to the spirit of
Christianity. They arc children Of
the church in the sense that they
we're born under christian influence.
They are auxiliaries to the church
in tue work of benevolence.. They
are co-workers in the great sense Of
in ameli0ration of the hui
man race and in the promotion Of
the interest of mankind.

Now that bicycles have become q
daily necessity, the present high
prices for good wheels can not long
be maintained. 1t is now reported
that p. +. Studebaker, the million
aire wagon manufacturer Of Indiana
is at the head of a syndicate tina.
will put on the market in 1896 half
q million wheels that will be sold as
low as thirty dollars each. The
Syndicate will fight any combtoation
OF manufacturers. and will effect a

II they accomplish their purpose
they will have the hearty thanks Of
those pessons who are now denied
the use of a good wheel by reason
Of the excessive price.

COTTON ROUND TO GO UP.

Present reports indicate that
there will be greater demand for
cotton the coming season than there
has been for several years. One
reason is that the factories have no
supply on hand because the price
has been so low for several years
and cotton has been SO plentiful
that it was not necessary for them
to buy large supplies, as they could
always get in quantities to suit, and
almost at their own price.
The price of cotton has been SO
low that the producer has not been
able 10 use as much manufactured
goods as heretofore. which caused
manufactures to shut down, and q
general depression in business thro.
out the country. All this time
from 1890 to 1894-the worlds need
Of cotton has been increasing, hut
has been kept back by adverse cir
cumstapces, Judging the future
by the past ratio of demand, the
worlds need for 1866 will be
something over nine million bales.
The Is no reasonable hope now for
such crop, with a late sapny
weed and 3D. per cent less fertilizer
aud q large reduction in acreage
in the United States, and reports
OF short crops from Egypt and
East India. The popular estimate
OF the present crop is 100000
bales as against the enormous crop
OF last lear Of a,l6o,0o0

There is a new fad in bicycle rid.
ing that is rapidly gaining in rural
popularity, although it is not likely
that it will ever be introduced in
The larger cities. The problem that
confronted the country SWANS was
how 70 take \ lady with them for q
spin without her riding an extra
wheel or putting tlem to the ex-
pense OF a "bicycle built for two"
Inventive minds have solved the
difficulty. Two young men owning
bicycles join forces and fasten
their wheels together by board
that serves as a seat for the lady
of their choice. The disadvantage
OF this system is that each fellow is
obliged to be content with half Of
the girl, hut dispite this its use is
growing.
