that, as the Florida crop has been

Agricultural Depression

ABfSuituiai bSpfSoSion
The majority ofthe special COM
mittee of the House appointed to
inquire into the causes Of the pre-
yailing agricultural depression has
prepared a report, in which it
says:
| "Class Legislation OF the worst
character encumbers the statute
books, and has been carried on to
the detriment Of agriculture and
its dependent industries for thirty
years, eliminating in the crime Of
the age, and the decentralization
of silver was a bold stroke in the
interest Of capital that has reduced
the value Of every product in the
world; this is conclusively proved
by the fact that just as silver has
deprecated in like proportion
have all other values fallen in the
scale. Silver bullion today has
the capacity to purchase as much
wheat, cotton, pork, corn and lard
and every other commodity that
it ever had; therefore the depre-
citation Of the white metal simply
means the depreciation of every
article under the sun, with one
single exception, the gold Of Shy
lock.
"The tariff system Of taxation is
not only unequal, but as for
the past thirty years administered
in this country, is the most unjust
to the consumer, and has built up
trusts, combines and gigantic cor
porations, that have not only
amassed immense wealth at the
expense of the people, but who
have assumed to control and d.
rect legislation so as to perpetuate
the property owner and crafty
their greed. Food adulterations
add millions annually to the far
mers losses and compel him to
meet in competition the thief. To
these might be added other caus-
es, but the principal ones to whicn
agricultural depression and stag
nation in trade are due have been
cited. The remedy lies in RENE
dial relief will not come perman.
ently.
TO secure relief we suggest:
"That silver should be remone.
tiled at the ratio Of 1s to1
"Ihat so long as the present
unjust and unequal system ofpro.
lection continues that agriculture
should receive its just proportion
land, as this cannot be secured by
a protective tariff, that a bounty
on exported agricultural staples
should be allowed, similar TO that
on fish in 1918, and for which
John G. Calhoun voted.
"That gambling in futures
should be prevented by law.
THAT a national pure food
law should be enacted"

Tobacco plants.

To the planter an early apd
abundant supply to tobacco
plants is the thing Of prime inn
portance. To secure this the seed
may be sown at any time between
khe 18th Of December and the
15th Of March, the earlier the bet
Ter, and alloting 100 square yards
of seed bed to every 10000 plants
that will be needed. The ground
selected for the purpose should be
virgin soil, Of sandy texture, rich
and moist, with full exposure to
the sun, but sheltered to the north
and west by rising ground or
growing timber, against the cold
winds of early spring Such spots
can be e'readily found in wooded
1hollows, at the foot Of hills, and
near to or alongside some water
course. Other things being equal,
the farther into the woods the spot
selected is the better in order to
es ape the potato bug.
BURNING THE PLANT BED.
The ground having been well
chosen, the next thing is to rake
| it cleanly, and then burn it thor
|oughly so as to kill all germs Of
vegetation. The burning can be
at a single blast, it'd one with dry
brush, heaped upon the entire bed
| q height Of some four feet. A bet
ter but costlier method is 10 burn
with wood laid upon green poles,
which serves the purpose Of ven
|tilation, in case the wood should
be piled the whole length Of the
bed, and at convenient width, say
six feet, and after the pile has oeen
we'll kindled, il should be allowed
TO burn some two hours, or until
the poles underneath are burnt
up. The burning wood and fire
Goals should now be moved by
using old hoes fastened upon long
handles, and again spread at con-
venient width and fresh wood adj
ded, which should burn until the
ground underneath has been
burnt as thoroughly as before,
and so on until the entire bed has
burnt over. SO soon as the ground
has COOLED enough TO walk upon

es. it should be broken deeply
and finely with the mattock, care
being taken not to inyert the soil,
and then chopped with wedding
hoe and raked until clean ofroots
and well pulverized-for which
reason land should never be burnt
when too wet.

Gal. Gall.Galli

From the Linneus mo Bulletin.
The assertion by the 16 to 1 leaders
that the date of the silver convention
was fixed as early as possible against
the wishes of the IL to l people is an
exhibition of conscienceless gall that
is only equalled by some of their other
claims. All along the opponents
of the Mexican ratio have opposed
the holding of an early convention.
The committee was urged by sound
money Democrats all over Missouri
to put the date off as far as possible
in order to give the sound money
advocates a chance to lay their claims
before the people. The committee
met, and sound money Democrats
appeared before it and asked a chance
to speak to the people. The sound
members of the committee were
favorable to the idea, but when it was
preached that the convention be put
off till November, a time that would
have best suited every farmer in the
btdICy liz W W l. 49,
clared that their districts would hold
their primaries at the earliest possible
date anyhow, and that the delegations
would all be selected early whether
the convention was called early or
not. After this, when Secretary Sam
Cook, one of the many Is to l advo-
Gates who don't believe half they say
of that ratio, but who have axe to
grind on the Is to l grind stone
when Secretary Cook moved to set
the date on August 8, the committee
agreed, rather as a matter of necessi-
ty than choice. The date might have
been put off till November, but every
free silver county committeeman in
the state would have called a con-
vention in his county Immediately and
the very counties that sound money
advocates desired to enter and discuss
the money question in, would thus
have been closed to any such discus
sion. 1t was the 16 to / leaders who
forced an early convention, a useless
convention, a convention that can be-
queath the party nothing but trouble
a convention that will bind nobody
| because it has been called under un,
Just conditions.
The holding of such a convention
at such a time and for such a purpose
makes us think it is no wonder the
authors of the movement are already
disclaiming it as q piece of their
| workmanship.

Sunday Law to Be Enforced Thor.
oughly at Macon. Mo.

MACON, Mo, July 28.-A crusade is
on here to enforce the Sunday law,
and the police were busy to-day tax
ing the names of violators. Com
plants had reached the authorities
about the saloons keeping open Sun
day, ostensibly for the purpose of
cleaning their floors, but it was al
legged that liquors we're sold. Friday
they were notified that the practice
must be stopped. The saloonkeepers
then demanded that the law be en-
forced against all other business. The
ordinances forbid the sale of mer-
chandise or liquors on Sunday. This
is held to apply to all persons not
dealers i'll immediate necessaries of
life and the names of p~roprietors of
all groceries, confectionery and fruit
stands, dry goods and clothing houses
ETC., were taken to-day, if found
doing business to-day, and will be
given to the City Attorney in the
morning. City Attorney Brock was
seen tonight and said that a vigor-
Gus and complete enforcement of the
ordinances would be made. The Of
fence is a misdemeanor and the fine
from IS to 500 dollars. The names
of some of the most prominent and
reputable citizens of the town are
among the list that will appear in
court tomorrow.

TOO A FOR THEM.
A Band of the Malta Fooled in st.
Louis.

ST. LOUIS, July 29.-Seven members
of the Malta, who only recently came
to this city from New Orleans, at
tempted to murder Michael Doole, an
Italian interpreter, at IL O'Clock last
night. The natural cunning of the
intended victim, together with the
fact that the would-be assassin made
several suspicious moves which put
Doole and his wife OF their guard, is
all that prevented the enactment of a
horrible crime. At 1890 O'Clock sew
en- Italians came to Doole's house, in
the rear of 908 Franklin avenue, os-
tensibly to make a friendly call and
get acquainted with the family. They
conducted themselves in a gentle
manly manner and all was merry for
a short time. Finally they attempted
to pick a quarrel with their intended
victim, but Doole noticed them fin
gering their weapons and managed to
get the gang out to the back porch
and closed the door between them.
Doole sent for the police. The Ma
fias, who wer in the meantime at
tempting to break down the door,
were kept at bay by the Italians re-
volver. Finally the police arrived
and arrested two of the men who are
supposed to be leaders of the gang.

murder he seemed to regard with the
utmost Indifference.
