The Free silver Disease.

This free silver craze in its develop
ment was very much like 10 an epidemic
of the infinenza-it spread in every di-
reetion, and appeared in the most uE-
expected places, no man knew why, no
man knew how. Starting in those
western states whose chief industry is
the mining of silver, it spread over
most of the western states, manifest
ing itself in most malignant form in
sections that had everything to lose
and nothing to gain by debasement
of the currency. Pcssinistic thinkers
came soon to believe that the Ma jority
of the western and southern people
must be either knaves or fools to adj
vocate a measure that was opposed to
reason, to honesty, AID to the teach
ings of history. But day by day we
are learning more and more that the
western and southern people a:e
neither knaves nor fools, but that for
season or SO they were the victims of
demagogues who inoculated them with
a political virus which made them
mad. A little Of the sunlight of reason
has had a wonderful effect, and. as
was shown ina recent article in this
paper, the disease is losing its viru-
lence and is rapidly passing away

1t is a progressive farmer who can
succeed in making one acre support a
COW, and he is then perfectly satisfied
with a profit of $50 from her. If an
acre of land can be made to yield any
kind of crop that will pay profit of
$50, the success attending such a result
will be considered worthy of notice.
Profit means, of course, all that por-
ton of the gross receipts which remains
after the full expenses are paid, and n
profit of $50 an acre is very large. 1t
Is easy to figure ION paper the posi-
bilities of an acre of land. but there
are facts abundant to demonstrate that
$50 is but a small sum to derive from

FARM AND GARDEN.
TIMELY BEE NOTES.

THE apiary should be kept clean, neat
and tidy-clear of high grass, weeds
and rubbish.
DAMPNEss in hives is the most damag-
ing thing to bees during the winter
that can befall them.
A SUFFICIENT number of drones is
necessary. but an overproduction OF
them should always be prevented
NATURAL swarming is not to be COM
pared with artificial swarming, or di-
viding up, in securing numbers, if the
proper plan is followed.
THERE is nothing gained on either
side by robbing. 1t is an injury not
only to the colony robbed, but also to
the one doing the robbery.
DIVIDING may be continued in safety
as long as the honey flow lasts, and if
afterwards we desire more increase, it
may readily be secured by feeding.
ONE of the first steps is to give an
abundance of room for storing honey.
This will arrest the first cause of
swarming to a considerable extent.
ALL surplus boxes should be ar
ranged SO that they can be inspected
daily and removed as soon as they are
completed, occupying the space with
empty ones, and in this way giving
plenty of room at all times
Much greater success is obtained in
securing straight combs by the use of
foundations, either by using full sheets
or starters OF the same. But by proper
management success can be secured to
some extent, without either.
A COLONY selected for queens should
not be the one in which drones are
produced, as this will bring them too
near akin, which should always be
avoided. We should infuse new blood
In the apiary every year or two.
EMPTY combs are valuable. They de-
serve the best of care, and can be made
to last several years, doing good serv-
ice six months out of the year. Combs
that are new and bright are not near
ly so liable to become infected with
worms as those of dark color.
In managing surplus boxes, use but
one tier at a time, and after they are
about half full of comb add another,
but never put in on top of the one be-
ing filled. Raise the full one out and
place the empty one under it. In this
way the bees will occupy the whole
double tier at once.
CARE must be taken to remove all
section boxes as soon as they are com
pleted and add empty ones, always
keeping the ones nearest full in the
the upper tier. If the colony becomes
80 strong that two tiers of boxes will
not accommodate them, add a third, or
as many as will give the bees working
room.-St. Louis Republic.

Frustrated by sunstroke during the war,
and 1t has entaiied on him peculiar and Sc
fious consequences. At present writing

tected heads. When reached Washington
Twas insensible and was unconscious for
ten days while in the hospital. An abscess
gathered In my ear and broke; it has been
gathering and breaking ever since. The
result of this l00-miie ride and sunstroke
was heart disease. nervous prostration, in
somnia and rheumatism. A completely
shattered system which gave me no rest
night or day. As q last resort / took some
Pink Pills and they helpedme to a wonder
full degree. My rheumatism Is gone, my
heart failure, dyspepsia and constipation
has stopped discharging and my head feels
as clear as bell when before it felt as
though it would burst, and my once shat

and could not straighten my leg out. My

That Is the living truth.

might call nervous and that my heart is ap-
parently nearly healthy, and that can

Coin" Harvey's inability to state
the exact truth is Well illustrated in
the following passage from one of his
speeches: "A studied misrepresenta-
ton has gone before the people of the
United States that there was only
SSo00,0oo Of silver coined by the
United States government prior to
1874 Now, meeting face TO face with
representative of the other side of
the question, this debate carries to the
people of the United States the admit
ted fact that there was sl43, 600, 900 of
silver coined prior to 1878"
This statement is incorrect in more
than one respect In the first place
there has been no studied misrepre.
sentation" that ''there was only
$4,000 of silver coined by
the United States government
prior to 1872. 1t has been
said repeatedly, and it is true, that
only about 5000, 600 silver dollars were
coined prior to 1879. A great deal of
stress was laid upon this fact in 1877
and 1878, because the Harveys of that
time were declaiming Justify about
the dollar of the fathers" and assert
ing, as Harvey still asserts with char
acteristic disregard of truth, that sill
yer was ''surreptitiously" assassinated
in 1873. 1t was the sacred ''dollar of
the fathers" for which the Harveys
were mourning in those days, and it

defamation by pointing out the fact
that 1.-THE fathers" never had any con-
siderable number of those dollars, and
that only about 5000, 900 of them were
coined during the eighty-one years
from the establishment of the mint
down to the crime of 1879
Nobody has attempted to conceal the
fact that the fractional coins to con.
siderable amount were struck at our
mints prior to 1878, or that prior to
1853 such coins were legal tender with
out limit. These facts are not only ad-
mitted but plainly stated by the oppo-
nents of free silver coinage, and no
person of any sense has sought to con-
ceai them from the people of the United
States.
In the next place, Harvey's state
ment that it is an admitted fact that
there was si43, 600, 900 of silver coined
prior to 1873 contains a falsehood by
suggestion. 1t implies that standard,
or full legal tender, coins to that
amount were struck, which is not true.
The coinage of gold and silver during
different periods as shown by the mint
reports was as follows:

In addition to the full legal tender
silver there was coined from 1854 to
1878 s57. 443,7 100 of subsidiary silver.
There was no free coinage of this SUBJ
sidiary silver. The silver was bought
by the government and coined on it's
account, precisely as it is now. The
coins contained nearly Z per cent. less
silver than the fractionals previously
coined, and were legal tender for no
more than SIS in any one payment.
They were ''demonetized" precisely as
both the fractional coins and silver
dollars are .'demonetized" to-day.
In the third place, as the above table
shows, Harvey insinuates a falsehood
by suppressing the truth. He not only
asserts that the coinage of silver
amounted to sl4S. OOO. 900 from 1899 to
1873, when, in fact, the coinage of full
legal tender silver was less than $751;
5000, but he tries to suppress the
fact that the gold coinage was more
than nine times the full tender silver
coinage during that period. He utter
ly ignores these facts: First, that from
1899 to 1884. when the legal ratio was
Is to 4, the full legal tender silver
coinage was more than three times the
gold coinage. Second, that from 1884
to 1858, after the legal ratio was
changed to about 16 to /. the coinage
of gold was more than five times the
coinage of silver. Third. that from
ton" of fractional silver, the coinage
of gold was not much less than 100
times the coinage of full legal tender
silver.
Harvey suppresses these facts, be-
cause they tend to prove what is
known to every intelligent American
who has reached the age of seventy-six
years, and what was repeatedly stated
in debate in congress in 1884 and 1853,
and not contradicted by anybody. that
there was, in fact. no gold coin in cir
culation in the former year, and no
silver coin, not even fractionals, in the
latter He suppresses these ia cts be-
cause they prove that silver was the
standard when it was overvalued at
our mints, and that gold became the
standard when it, in turn, was over
valued, and has been the standard ever
since.
These falsifications OF history would
not claim attention for a moment If
Harvey alone were guilty of them.
They call for exposure because every
mining camp economist has been COM
uniting them and others like them,
without intermission, ever since the
fall in the price of silver began to
make the silver dollar a convenient in
strument of public and private repudi-
ation.--Chicago Chronicle.
