Mason VS.. BrYAn.

Chicago. Oct. 20.-It has been arranged
by the Republican campaign managers
to have ex-Congressman William T..
Mason of Chicago, speak in the imme-
date vicinity of every hall in which Mr.
Bryan makes an address in this city.
Two weeks before the Chicago conven-
tion Mr.. Mason met the Democratic
presidential candidate In joint debate
et Waterloo, la. TheJtepublican leaders
say they were so well satisfied with the
result that this plan of practically put
ting Mr.. Mason with Mr.. Bryan has been
decided upon. There is no intention,
they say. OF interfering with the Bryan
meetings In any particular, but a chance
will be given all voters who would rather
hear a Republican than a Democratic
speech TO exercise their choice. The
plan promises to furnish some of the
most lively incidents in the campaign.

Socialist Doctrine.

Fitchburg. Mass, Oct. 20.-Matthew
Mcguire. vice presidential candidate of
the Socialistic-Labor party, addressed
an open air rally here last night. He
urged the necessity OF fundamental re-
organization of social and economic con-
ditions. He ADVOCATED the common
ownership OF machinery and the tools of
production. He said the lack OF op-
portunity was the most serious industrial
condition. Financial quens affect
the workingman insignificanSy. as his
labor is the only means at his disposal OF
securing a share in the ownership OF
money OF any standard. Control of
educational facilities is essential TO the
people. Tariff considere tions have
slight bearings on the workiDgman's
condition. The socialists do not aim t.
destroy, but to build up.

The object lesson which the
above presents is to show at
a glance what would happen
to the present currency OF the
country should free coinage
be adopted. This is accom-
plished as follows
First. fold backward out of
sight the section containing
the gold money which would
disappear under free coinage.
Second, fold backward at
the dotted lines the upper
half of the section represent
ing the silver money, since it
is apparent that free coinage
would reduce the silver money
to the commercial value of the
metal, which is practically one
half of the value at which the
Government now maintains il.
Third, fold backward the
lower half of the section rep
resenting the paper money.
which would be also deprecia-
ted in an equal proportion,
since the metallic currency of
the country would be only
silver coins passing at the
commercial value Of the metal
in them.
BY this process you are able
to show the enormous reduc-
tion in the value of the money
Of the country which would
follow the free coinage of sill
yer, since the Government
would not, OF course, attempt
to maintain the dollars which
it would coin for individuals
at any more than the COM
mercial value of the silver put
into it.
( By this simple explanation
it becomes apparent at a
glance that the money Of the
country. now amounting to
s., COG, 600, 900, would shrink
to $so4,45o.oNo in value, or
less than one-third the present
amount.

A Southern Corn Pest.

Entomologist Howard Of the Agri-
rultural department, in recent circu-
lar 90 the larger coru-borer. says that
the pest will have 90 chance for its life
10 the North, where carful and thorough
methods of cultivation are followed,
but in the South it has already done
more or less damage 10 most corn fields
FROM Alabama to Virginia. Mr. How
ard reports having seen more than 80
holes in single stalk 10 South Caro-
lima, and in Virginia. last year.
single planter estimates bis loss at
more than $500. The insect is ideoti-
cal with the sugar cane borer Of Louis
lana, and is found in all Southern
states as far north as the Potomac
river aud west as Kansas
The adult insect issues from the old
cornstalks in the spring Soon after
the young corn comes up it lays its
eggs upon the leaves near the axils
and the young larva upon batcbing
penetrates the stalk at or near the
joint and commences to tunnel, usually
upward through the pith The growth
CT the borer is rapid and it is very &c
tive, frequently leaving the stok. at
one place and entering at another.
making several holes 10 the course of
its growth When ready to transform
it borcs to the surface Of the stalk max
ing hole for the exit Of the future
moth, then changing to the pupa state.
The etomologis. says that where
the old corn stalks are Systematically
removed from the field and burned
after the 5arvest or during winter, or
where constant rotation of crops is
practiced, the corn stalk-borer will
never become serious pest, and the
Virginia and South Carolina farmers
have it 10 their hands to check it at
any time by pursuing these methods.
Aside from corn. sugar cane, and
sorghum, this borer. has only one other
food plant, so far as we know. This is
the CANA grass, or sesame grass, which
grows very high ir swampy grounds
Farmers whose con6elds adjoin swampy
ground will do we'll to burn over this
grass during the winter. Aside from
these simple remedies, there is cnly one
more point to be made. aud that is, that
rototiou of crops is reasonably efficient
against this insect Where the custom
allowing stalks to remain 10 the field
during winter is practiced. it naturally
follows that corn following corn will be
badly damaged Observations made
by this Office show that in 1891 the av-
erage damage to crops planted upon
land which was in corn the previous
year was 25 per ceot, while the aver
age injury to corn paoted upon sod
land was only 10 per cent, even where
this land was reasonably close to former
