Some villain, without any respect for

he wanted the rope that held the flag in
place. Haptonstall now has "blood in

BUSINESS MEN AND FREE COINAGE.
How Doubling OF Prices Would Affect tho
Sale Of Goods,

| S8l0 OF GOO0Bs
A large majority of the business men
Of this country are opposed to free coin
age and the adoption Of the silver stand
ard. But in few states, outside Of the
? silver producing sections of the country,
; some merchants have been led to favor
the cheap money movement through a
mistaken belief that free silver, by Civ
ing us more money, would increase the
I demand for all kinds Of goods and thus
add to the profits Of manufacturers and
traders. Another reason for the support
by some business men of the free coin
age scheme is their belief that the prices
Of all goods in stock would be doubled
by the adoption Of the silver standard.
That free silver would bring bust
ness boom, which would encourage in
dustry and make tho country more pros
porous, is favorite assertion Of the sill
verites. But they never attempt to show
how this would be done, or how the
consumption of goods Of all kinds upon
which the volume Of exchanges depends
would be stimulated by the doubling Of
prices, or by stamping Zone dollar on
all the silver bullion in the country.
People do not cat, drink or wear money.
If there were large stores Of silver dol
lars instead Of bullion, trade and indus
try would not in any way be increased,
while it is certain that the immediate
result Of doubling prices by the silver
standard would be a great falling off in
tho demand for goods, since the work
ingmcn of the country would find their
wages buying only half as much as on
tho gold standard. If the business man
who has been attracted by the specious
promises Of the silverites will reflect for
a moment, he will see that instead Of
encouraging trade the effect of doubling
prices would be to cause people to buy
less goods. Does he want that kind Of
"free silver prosperity"
It is true that the price of goods in
stock would be increased, but this would
be merely a temporary benefit, and the
loss to merchants through the payment
of all outstanding accounts in 80 cent
dollars would far outweigh the slight
gain in that direction. So that in this
case also free coinage would be posi-
tive injury. And the panic which would
inevitably follow such financial up
heaval as the change from the gold to
the silver standard would bring wide
spread ruiz nd disaster.

Silver states do not seem to have any
prejudice against gold in carrying on
their own financial affairs. Utah banks
hold twenty-one times as much gold as
silver, Arizona banks nine times as
much. The Colorado banks possess over
$3,000,0 900 in gold and only one-tenth
Of the amount in silver. While this is
eminently judicious 1t is not conclusive
reason for piling up mountain Of sill
yer in the United States treasury

Sixteen to Ono Twiddle rwsddle,

The people are beginning to see that
the free silver coiners are not basing
their assertions upon facts, nor do they
employ any sound logic. The phrases,
"dollars Of our fathers" money Of
the constitution, "crime Of 49," to-
gether with anarchistic denunciation Of
the bankers, ""money lenders, ""Wall

poses every head OF cabbage to view
the moment the covering is removed at
the end. Now for the covering. Forks
were driven into the ground, say two
feet high, or just a little higher than
the ranks of cabbage, and stout enough
to bear up the covering, and 80 driven
as to take a pole along both sides of
each rank, and on these are laid cross
poles, which hold the covering up.
Straw or spoiled hay was piled along
the outside ranks and then over the
poles, and so rounded up like a stack
to turn water, the ends being closed up
in like manner, and the work was done.
1t was the last of January, 1894, that 1
was there, and they had been having
cold weather--twenty degrees below
zero. My friend had an order from his
merchant for a load of cabbage, and he
asked me to go with him and see how
they looked. A prettier picture could
not have been made from the same
material than was presented. The
alleys being open, we had a clear view;
the frost shone along on the solid wall
of heads, but not one was injured. OF
the thousands of heads in those ranks
every one was ready for market. When
a load was taken out, the end was
closed up again; the top covering re-
NAMED intact.-Cor. N. Y. Tribune.

Holding Farm Products.

When deciding the question of selling
heavy loss from insects, heat frost or
other cause is not usually given due
weight. Just as fire may never have
damaged us, and yet we are willing to
pay a certain per cent for insurance
against loss in that way, go we must
have a certain per cent marking for risk
of damage in the ways mentioned.
Sometime the damage may come, and
the risk must be paid for if storing be
justified. In estimating the cost of
keeping a horse for a year, n rarely
sees an item covering the risk Of death
or serious injury, and in 80 far such
estimates are faulty. In considering
the matter of holding any farm product,
a margin for risk of heavy loss must be
allowed, if n would have an accurate
basis for his decision in the matter. 1t
is usual to count interest on value of the
product at current rates. This may be
wholly incorrect. One requires a GER
tain amount of working capital for the
farm that cannot be placed 80 as to earn
any interest off the farm. If a product
is marketed by the time the money is
needed in the farm operations there is
no loss of use of money, and no interest
should be charged. On the other hand,
if the product is held on borrowed
money, the cost of use of money is
hardly a sufficiently large charge against
run any risks on another's money. The
cause of failure with most farmers who
attempt to grow small fruits is neglect
to keep them clean. The work is not
done in time, and soon the plat is
choked and overrun with weeds. All
that is necessary to success is to get
good varieties to start with, and this
can be easily determined by inquiring
of successful growers of your neighbor-
hood. Select a spot of clean, rich land,
plow it early in the spring and make a
good, mellow seed-bed. The last half
of April is the best time to set the
plants, just as they have made a good
start to grow and begin to show the
fruit buds, but the blossoms should be
cut off as soon as the stems are long
enough 30 that it can be done, as it ex
hausts the plants too much to bear fruil
before they are well rooted and estab-
lished. l set them in rows three and
one-half feet apart, and the plants two
and one-half feet in the row. Every
fourth or fifth row should be of a fertil-
izing or staminate kind, and any sue
cessful grower will tell you what to
plant. The secret of vigorous growth
and easy cultivation is comprehended
in the phrase, "work early and often"
The cultivation should be done with a
narrow-tooth %cultivator, 80 as to keep
the land level. If you work them after
each rain, as soon as the land can be
worked and before the weeds show, a
single hours work will clean out al
eighth-acre bed, at a cost of only so for
tho fret summer.-Country Gentleman,
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1895-09-04
A Crop That Pays.
Selected.

Winter oats are one of the best pay
ing crops that can be grown. Wher-
ever introduced they are superseding
spring oats largely. Oats are essen
TALLY a cool weather crop, and failures,
either partial or total, with spring oats,
on account Of the hot, dry weather of
June and July, are so common that
many farmers are entirely discouraged
from growing them. This trouble is
entirely obviated by substituting winter
oats. They are sown at the same time
as winter wheat, and ripen with wheat
the following season, SO that the har-
vesting and threshing may all be done
at the same time. The variety we
grow in Delaware is perfectly hardy
as much so as Fultz wheat-and with
stands the severest weather perfectly.
On good soil a yield of fifty to eighty
bushels is common. They grow a
strong, stiff straw, which stands up
well. They are a very heavy oat, a
measured bushel weighing from thirty
eight to forty-fve pounds. One and a
half bushels per acre are enough to SOW.
Winter oats are also a good crop to seed
clover with. The same fertilization
and tillage that will produce a good
wheat crop will give a big crop of win
ter oats.-Exchange.
