Problems which Can Easily BE rigursd
Out BY Voters.
A farmer raises 1000 bushels of
wheat, for which he now gets $500.
With that money he buys various kinds
Of manufactured goods at low prices.
With free coinage at sixteen to one he
might get $1,000 for his wheat, but
would certainly have to pay nearly
twice as much for the goods he would
buy. How much would the farmer gain
from q cheap money scheme which
doubled the price of the things he
got in exchange for his wheat?
The Sherman silver law Of 1890 pro-
vided for the purchase by the govern
ment of $4,000, 600 ounces of silver per
year. Under the operation Of that
law the price of silver, after short
speculative rise, fell steadily from $1.16
to 70 cents per ounce. If the purchase
and storage of practically the entire
American production of silver could
not prevent its price from falling, what
reasons are there for believing that the
mere act of coming silver into dollars
and returning them to the owners OF
the bullion will double the price of
all the silver in the world?
A workingman who depends for his
livelihood on the sale of his labor to
an employer is now paid two dollars
per day in currency based on the gold
standard and kept on a parity with
gold by our laws. This two dollars
will buy relatively large quantity Of
necessities. If this country adopts free
coinage and goes on to a silver basis
two dollars will buy only one-half az
much of the goods the workingman
needs. Show how labor would be bene.
fited by policy which would cut the
purchasing power of wages in two?
An investor having money to lend
was approached by farmer who want.
ed a loan for the purpose of buying new
implements, additional stock and some
fertilizers. "If you will let me have
$500 on the security of my land and
buildings said the farmer, II will
vote for free silver law which will
enable me to pay you back next veal
in dollars worth half of those you LEND
me-" State how much money thai
investor loaned the farmer, also the
rate of interest paid.
A large number of persons who com
planned that they were poor decided
to enact laws which would make then
all rich. AS the poverty consisted in tht
lack of food, clothes, furniture, house:
and other forms of wealth, they agreed
that instead of producing the things
they needed they would set men Il
work digging silver, which they die
not need, out of the Rocky mountains
BY SO doing they expected that the sup
ply of other labor products would il
some mysterious way be increased
How much is twice nothing, and hov
will the changing of silver bullion int
coins make more houses, machinery O.
beef?
If the "sound money" vote in Yer
mont increases the republican major
ity from q, 900 in 1892 to IS, 900 this year
how long will it take the sixteen Il

A FOREST TRAGEDY.
(By Ella Antoinette Hotchkiss.)

A song of freedom on the summer air. The glad bird-notes that tell of life
 -given;- A rift of blue o'er uplands soft and
 fair; These rest the mind that with the world has striven. The sunshine falls where forest road
 ways meet; A sound of woe upon the human ear Is made, and quickly at the marks
 mans feet Lie bird and song, with thought of
 them so dear. For, To! the hunters aim was swift and
 high The heart of him not in the joy of
 life;- But, then. full many hearts with his
 would vie; Who shares the spoil has hand in
 cruel strife! Who wears for ornament upon her
 head The wing of lovely bird, or plumage
 fine, Has never o'er the tragic doings bled That rob the forest of its rights di-
 vine. We read of evil wrought in thought
 lessness; While ignorance sits oft meath hat
 adorned; But, tenderness and loving-kindness
 bless The world, wherever found, and few
 have scorned!

 The announcement of the result was received with great applause,

 The motion was seconded by Stiles Judson, jr., on behalf of Fairfield coun- ty Judge Warner in behalf of Wind nam county, and ex-Mayor Briggs of Middletown in behalf of Middlesex county.
 Chairman Fessenden-"In behalf of all the other counties, of all the repub- licans of Connecticut, young and old, and in behalf of our friends, the demo- crats, who will vote with us In Novem- Der, let us make this nomination unan- imous."
 Ana the convention did so With a roar, waving of hats and scores of del- egates on their feet.

COOKE AND DEWELL CHOSEN
Continued from First Page.l

Senator Donald T. Warner of Salis- bury spoke for MT. Cooke. He spurned the references to age made by the boy orators" who had spoken, and was sur prised that John Addison Porter is not spring chicken, only of the legal age, but is full-grown man of forty-two. Attention was called to the hard work of republicans in keeping the lamp of republication burning in Litchfield county, and in no spot was the light brighter than in old Barkhamsted, the former home of MT. Cooke.
 Senator. Randolph H. Chandler of Woodstock reminded the convention of the help of Windham county in electing Litchfield county candidates in the past Now is good time for Litchfield county to help in nominating Wind ham county candidate.
 Judge A. B. Beers of Bridgeport said
 that Fairfield county stood practically solid for the nomination of Mir. Cooke.
 He had no sympathy with the attacks | made upon the republican state central committee. The members are honora-
 ble men, selected by the various locali- l ties to represent the voters In closing the speaker strongly advocated the
 nomination of MT. Cooke.
 MT. Douglas of Middletown asked for an informal ballot, and Judge Rora- back of North Canaan, representing | the Cooke party, moved that it be for
 mal. This amendment was accepted. and the informal ballot was ordered. | Chairman Fessenden ordered the vote by roll call by towns. The balloting oc- 1,OO

DR.. ShattInger Proposes Draft Of Plat
form.
DR.. Shattinger, whose postoffice sd-
dress is 22O9 Sidney street, st. Louis,
Mo-, has prepared a draft of platform
which he proposes to submit to the
Populist convention at st. Louis.
DR.. S. is q delegate, and he
is sending copies of his proposed
platform to all the other delegates
In advance of the meeting on
the 22d. The ADVOCATE commends
It's breVity and clearness. 1t would not
be easy to express the same thoughts
better In fewer words. The conven-
tion will probably want to say some
thing about some other matters In
order to bring the platform forward to
1895. A word or two on the distribu-
ton of governmental powers, a line on
the combination between the courts
and the army, and q paragraph relating
to an American policy with foreign
nations. The horizon of Populism ex-
tends as far as our national interests
reach.
Here is DIR. Shsttinger's proposed
platform. 1t Is well worth careful
consideration:

their just powers from the consent of
the governed" that the representative

their support against candidates to
whom be was opposed.
Shawnee county Republicans were
for Slonecker for Judge Of the Court
Of Appeals. Cy Leland was against
him. In order to win his point he had
to seat the anti. Trickett delegates
from Wysndotte, and this was done by
the aid Of their own votes.
Bulletin No. 81 from the Kansas Ex.
pertinent Station at the Agricultural
College has been issued. 1t contains

The Republicans of the Reno. King
msn.Prstt district have nominated A.
VI. SWitzer Of Reno for Senator. 1t
required eighteen ballots to reach q
conclusion. The other candidates
were Merideth and SponsleE of Reno,
Thompson Of Pratt and Ritter of King
man.
The La Crosse Chigftain evidently
does not have a high opinion of the
delegates from Rush county to the Re-
publican State convention, for it says
that with the exception of one dele
gate the others would have to have
assistance If called on to second q mo-
tion.
A LeaVenW0rth Times correspondent
says that Chsllinor added all the build
ing and improvement appropriations
to the current expenses of the various
State institutions and then compared
them with the current expenses
only of the Republican administrs-
tions.
President Wellhouse of the State
horticultural Society Is receiving COM

ture the egg matches and the worm
ruins the apple and 1t falls off.
