Observation-Disclosures.

1t may be of interest to know the po-
sition of some of the new English cab
met on bimetallism. \. j. Balfour, the
first lord of the treasury and the par
Hamentary leader in the commons, is
an avowed bimetallist, whose speeches
are familiar to the money literature Of
both continents. Sir William Hicks
Beach, however, is chancellor of the
excheQuer. the equivalent of our secre-
tary Of the treasury. His position Is
less known and less pronounced than
that of Balfour. In May last he made
a speech at the dinner Of the Trade Of
Commerce, in which he was reported
as saying that he thought it was clear
that the appreciation of gold in the
main was an injury to the country, and
that he would like to see an interna-
tional attempt made to diminish the
use of gold and to increase the use Of
silver. He was in favor of proceeding
cautiously from the gold standard
which had been the rule in Great Brit
an for so many years.
The one conclusion from the above
positions Of the two principal members
of the cabinet In the house Of COM
mons is that an international confer
ence would not be so cavalierly treated
as the proposal was by Mr.. Gladstone.
1t would at least have respect and SYM
pathy.

HneinD TO Kill Needs.

We hoe merely to kill the weeds. The
land has been. or should have been,
properly and thoroughly prepared be-
fore the seed was planted. Now nothing
of that is to be done. no digging, no pull
verifying, no making of hills, only kill
Ing the weeds. says the Maine Farmer
Much of the hOeing is now done with
team and cultivatOr, though there is
still some work to be done with the hoe
Simply stirring the surface soil and cut
ting up any stray weed that may have
become rooted is all that is called for.
Do this early and often, and the weeds
will be mastered. Never wait for field
to get weedy. 1t is just as effective to
stir the soil before the weeds have had
time to get rooted, and it Is much easier
doing it. 1t has been a pet theory to
run the cultivatOr through the field Of
ten and keep it up as long as practicable.
Experiments at the stations, however,
have shown that frequent cultivation,
unless needed for the destruction Of
weeds, Is no advantage to the growing
crop in an ordinary season. Work the
field, then, as often as needed to kill
the weeds, and no more Clean culture
should be the aim. The weeds must be
destroyed

HOME, SWEET HOME.
How John Howard Payne Came to
His Own at Last.


In dirty little ship, in March, 1883,
the remains of John Howard Payne,
who gave his soul to the world In Home,
Sweet Home, was landed one gloomy,
clOud-darkened morning at dirty OBJ
scure dock in the dingiest portion of
the shore line of Brooklyn.
The remains were inclOSed in n plain,
cheap coffin, which was encased in a
rough, unplaned box. and the whole
covered by greasy and dilapidated
American flag. Placed in q hearse not
of the neatest style, and behind horses
not the best kept, and followed by three
carriages containing lot Of shabby
looking aldermen, they were conveyed
to the city hall in New York, the pro-
cession being almost unObserved until
it got to the park, when the unusual
spectacle of funeral procession enter
ing there attracted Il few of the con-
slant loungers who stood by and asked
each other who was dead.
The time during which the box con-
tanning the remains was in the Gov
errors room at the city hall was not
marked by any special feature other
than curiosity on the part Of several
thousand people. who made it conven-
lent to drop in at the hall, and the in
tended poetical action Of two or three
ladies, who deposited some flowers and
carefully treasured rosebud upon the

Of the country which gave him birth.

Philosophy Of Money.

Students of finance will take inter-
est in en- article which appears in the
Arena from the pen Of Arson J. Webb,
entitled Outline Of New Philosophy
Of Money
The author is an advanced thinker
and presents ideas which will secure
marked attention. The following ex-
tracts are the closing paragraphs of his
argument:
This, then, is my proposition: The
naturalization of exchange is the So
luton of the money problem. 1t rem
ders the money supply free and removes
from money all restrictions as regards
quantity. This at one stroke delivers
money from its bondage to the law Of
supply and demand. The money sup
ply would at once spring to the level
of the money demand. The fulcrum
of the usurer's lever would then have
vanished. and the system of usury
would fall of its own weight
The naturalization of exchange in
wolves naturalization of the mecban-
ism OF exchange. The mechanism Of
exchange involves the railway and the
telegraph systems, the storage and re-
tail distribution Of wealth, and n ma
tiOnalistic banking system.
Then see how apt becomes our con-
cept Of money. l deliver my wealth
$50 much of 1t as pleased to the State,
and the State issues to me certificate
OF deposit. That certificate is my evil
dence. 1t is my witness. 1t is the
States testimony to my act. That tes-
timony Is good, for the witness Of the
State no one will gainsay. Further
more the State is pledged to redeem
Its testimony by delivering up my
wealth in trust. The true nature of
money then becomes apparent in prac-
tice as we'll as in theory 1t is clearly
an ethical fact. Truth is its only test
The question Of volume of the curren-
cy has no import whatever.
Can You solve the problem in any
other way? l can see no ether way.
There is 10 other way in which the
money supply can be raised to the level
or the money demand. You cannot in
crease the money supply without you
extend the idea of free coinage to other
forms Of wealth than gold and silver.
And unless You increase the money sup
ply till it equals the demand you can
not overthrow the usury system; and
unless the system of usury is uprooted
and cast into hell mathematics tells you
what you may look for. There is but
one solution to this riddle of the Sphinx,
and that Is n free money supply, which
involves the mechanism of 4 national.

Wheat is ready to cut as soon as any
part of the stalk begins to turn yell
low. If the head Is well filled it will
then be bent over and the berry will
fill from the stalk better IL the grain is
left standing until dead ripe. Tho

We Arc Able to Control.

The New York World makes this
statement:
Recent statistics show that the total
banking power rs it is called, of the
world IS f4O0O,OO0,O 200, or $4,000, OOO,-
600. OF this North America, mainly
this country, controls 81, 200, 900, while
all Europe, including Great Britain
France, Germany, Belgium and the
Netherlands. all the great Capitalists
nations. control but f2,300,0OO In 9th
er words, this country holds about half
as much of the worlds banking power
as ell Europe combined, and greatly
more than any single country in Eu-
rope or the world"
Then, why In the name of common
sense should we pursue timid policy
and act as though we were pauper
nation dependent upon the financial
whims Of other countries? 1t Is easy
to SEE when we ponder over these sta
tistics that we are able to control the
6pancial policy Of the civilized world

Repairs for Harvesting Machinery.

Repairs Tor harvesting Machinery.
All kinds Of moving and reabing ma
cEinery are much cheaper than they
We're a few years ago. But in some
cases the manufacturers put inferior
material into their work, so that more
repairs are needed, and these always
CONE very high. The separate pieces
cost enough more than they should to
make up the deficiency in price of the
complete machine, which competition
obi5Ses them to submit to. When they
have sold machine the buyer can get
his repairs from no one else, and they
can make charges without limit. Worse
than this, the buyer often finds that he
must send for repairs hundreds of miles
and wait perhaps two or three days
while they are coming. If the machine
Is OFT of date it is sometimes difficult
to get repairs at any rate. This is a
matter that farmers should think of in
buying harvesting machinery. Find
out, IL possible whether repairs will be
sold reasonably, and deal only with
houses of such established reputation
that there need be no fear that they
will so out Of business.

Acidity is a sign that fermentation has

cause food to ferment in even the

Rev. Mr.. Sherburne The enterprise is a
worthy one May success attend It.
The selectmen were busy last week max
ing out the first installment OF taxes-sev-
enty-hve cents on the dollar. This will,
doubtless, have to be paid not later than
the last week in August to get the four per
cent discount. The second installment may
likely be made out in August-the ninety
days to expire in November, as last gear.
In the common course Of events may not
the history that Is now making in
every one OF our towns come to have a great
local interest for the generations that are to
come after the present in habitants? One of
our worthy and intelligent ladies has long
been keeping file Of our town items as
they have appeared in one or more of the
state papers. Such file may yet possess a
very marked local value for more reasons
than one, despite what, we believe, are In
the main only minor inaccuracies that are
almost unavoidable on the part of the most
conscientious itemizer And right here,
dear town historians OF one, two or three
centuries hence, let US say that II you do
find anything OF comfort or value to your
selves in the work OF us news-gatherers and
reporters of to-day, it has been partly at the
expense of "kicks, cuffs and curses" and
therefore, to bring up fair average, you
want to have very clever feeling for us,
remembering that we have had an eye to
you as we'll as the men Of our own time.
