MONEY AND THE FARMERS.

great middle west that the free silver
party bases it's claims for success in
the coming election. Their argu-
ment to the farmer is that under the
gold standard the farmer receives but
40 cents bushel for his wheat and
from Is to 20 cents for his corn and
oats. but that under a silver standard
he would receive double that amount
and that the silver he would receive
would pay his debts equally with gold.
In other words, that his grain and
produce would have just twice as
much debt-paying power as they have
at present.
Undoubtedly this is a specious ar
gument, and as it appeals to the baser
and more selfish side of human nature
it cannot but have considerable
weight with all those whose debts are
greater than their credits. That this
is the condition of the whole farming
community is difficult to believe, but
even if it is the benefit they would
gain would be but temporary. They
might pay off such debts as were not
payable in gold and thus have an APP
parent advantage, but they would
soon find that they would have to pay
double for everything they had to
buy, and that the wages of their en-
ployes would also be doubled. 1t is
equally true that through this diSar-
rangement of prices and values they
would suffer more in the end as they
did under the deprecated greenbacks
of
same arguments were addressed to
the farmers as are made now, only
that they were for continuance of
the irredeemable greenbackS and in
opposition to the resumption of specie
payment. Who is now sorry those
arguments failed? A party should
always be distrusted which attempts
to beguile the people into cheating
and fraud by means of unsound de-
preciated money.
Every person who reflects upon the
course of prices for farm products
knows that they have depreciated,-
not because of the gold standard, but
because of Overproduction. New
lands to an enormous extent have
been opened up for the raising of
wheat. Argentine and Russia are
competitors of the American farmer
in the market of the world, and all
this has tended to the lowering of
prices.
1t is also the fact that improved
machinery has lessened the cost of
production very materially, and that
has had its effect on the lowering of
prices.
A deprecated currency cannot but
injure the farmer and the working
man equally with all other members
of the community, for whatever af-
fects one part of the body polite
must, sooner or later, all other parts.
The money circulation is the life
blood of the community, and if it is
diseased the whole body will become
diseased. History, even our own, is
full of this teaching. Why will not
the people be instructed by it?-Chi-
cago Times-Herald.

EXCUSE WANT OF TIME.

There is no excuse so frequently urg
ed for the nOn-observance of duties, or
the commission of desirable actions, as
that advanced of the want of time.
From the failure to answer letter, or
to keep an appointment, to the neglect
of regular occupation or the non-per-
tormance of Il palpable obligation, this
plea is continually made in apparent
good faith that it will be received as
sufficient apology by those to whom it
IS addressed 1t would be matter Of
surprise to most of us could compu-
tatiOn be made as to what proportion
of the letters we write and receive are
devoted to this single excuse. And
few would believe how many times a
day the same plea Of want of time pass
es their lips. Is it then wise, reason
able and sufficient one? Are we pre-
pared to acknowledge all the implica-
tiOnS which it indicates.
"YOu have all the time there is, was
the pertinent reply made to one who
was uttering this favorite complaint
Il statement which would be difficult to
controvert. The question is, however,
having all the time have we the power
to control the use of it, or is it heavily
mortgaged against our will? In times
of slavery the slave had none of this
power, save as it was granted as IA
vor by his master The free man, on
the contrary, owns his own time and
may do with it as he will. If he put
it under the direction of another, it is
only rs Il contract, for an agreed COM
pensation. No service that he can rem
der, from that of Il street labOrer to the
| highest Government official, implies

SPRING TINE

Is when nearly everyone feels the
need of some blood purifying strength
invigorating and health producing me-
dicine. The real merit of Hoods Sar-
saparilla is the reason of it's widespread
popularity. Its unequalled success is
its best recommendation. The whole
system is susceptible to the most good
from medicine like Hoods Sarsapar-
lila taken at this time, and we would
lay special stress upon the time and
and remedy, for history has it recorded
that delays are dangerous. The re-
markable success achieved by Hoods
Sarsaparilla and the many words of
praise it has rcdeived, make it worthy
of your confidence. We ask you to
give this medicine fair trial.

" old sweethearts and friends.

GIdmlInd stood still ut the tlllcr.
haggard and bearded, girt with rough
fur cloak, his hair and forehead gray
! with the brine which had dried upon
them. He staggered as he walked
forward and dropped heavily to the
beach, his eyes fixed upon Thorlinda.
Far out at the ford mouth he had seen
her tall white figure, and his gaze had
never left it. Through all the voyage
the thought of her had been before
him, dimming the memory of his
brother.
Had he acted for the best or had he
been false to both? He hardly knew. If
ThorOlf had been true to her, would he
still, as of old, have fought down the
did it matter now if once he held her
i'm his arms? He had rowed with the
strength of any two, and when his men
were spent with labor and ceaseless
bailing it was he who had held the
tiller when they slept. 1t was he who
had kept the watch at night, with
steady eyes upon the northern
stare.
He went toward her, slow and weak
asking silently for a glance, a word but
she looked beyond him to the empty
ship and to the seamen. At length
she turned to him and gave her hand
asking quietly, though the words
shook:
WAS it in battle he died, or did
Aegir, the wave god, take him."
Then he began, looking downward,
and told her as best he could, but he did
not know what words he said, for he
could not hear the sound of his own
voice, and he swayed slightly where
he stood. Yet, still speaking, he
noticed as in dream how scar and
yellow the grass had grown and how
closely the sheep had cropped it. A
short cry broke from his dream. He
looked up and stood rigid, for under
her red gold hair her blue eyes blazed,
and in their angry look he saw again
his brothers dying face. Then she
spoke. From her full breast and throat
the words came deep and low:
''COusin," she said, mot without
fame you have come home, and you
shall indeed live long in the memory
of men, for you are the first of the
house of Egil to have earned the name
of coward and traitor"
Dreaming still, he turned and walk
ed toward the sea. The long sigh of
the waves, the hurry of the autumn
wind, heavy with rain and mist, all
blended with his dream. For a moment
the storm wrack cleared to westward,
and a yellow glare came over the sky
as the setting sun shone on black rocks
and green water and restless ridges of
foam. Gudmund stood while the last
glow lay warm upon his eyes and mat
ted hair Then as the clouds rolled up
again he sank down, unclasped the
sword belt and threw open his cloak of
fur, the rain beating against his breast
and forehead. His head dropped low
er, and with the point of his scabbard
he slowly traced woman's face upon
the sands, while still the raindrops
blurred the lines. Darkness came over
the ford; the early evening gloomed
and deepened into night.
Next morning when some fishers
passed that way, they paused and
greatly that so strong man
should lie there dead with never a
wound upon his body.
