FARMERS SHOULD CONSIDER.

Farmers who think that free silver
will help them get rid Of their mort
cages should consider carefully what
effect l6 to law will have ON the
lenders Of capital. As soon sit becomes
likely that free coinage law will be
enacted there will undoubtedly be a
general demand that all mortgages shall
at once be paid in full. Where, then,
when this demand comes upon the
farmer, will he get the money to meet
the demand and save his farm? Does
any farmer believe that the man who
has money to loan will lei a dollar of it
ieave his hands while there is posi-
bility of his his being repaid in 90 cent
dollars? And if the farmer cannot raise
money to pay his mortgage, his home
and farm will be sold at sacrifice and
taken from him. Where will he be
then?

GARFlsLD'S WARNING.

His Utterance When Opposing Free Coin
age Twenty Years Ago.
Extract from speech delivered July 10, 1851
In opposing the free coinage Of silver
President Garfield used the following
impressive words:
"MR. SPEAKER can hardly conceive
a situation in which the house could be
brought more directly face to face with
what seems to present on the one hand
public honor and on the other the deep
est public disgrace.
at has happened in the fuctuation
of these metals that there is now nota-
BILE opportunity to cheat 1000, 900 men
by adopting the baser metal as the
standard Of payment and thus accom-
plish swindle OH SO great scale as to
make the achievement illustrious. By
the proposed measure one-tifth of the
enormous aggregate public and private
debts can be wiped out with sponge.
This nation owes $2, 100, 900, 600, and
private citizens of the United States
probably owe $4,000, 900, 900, possibly
more. At the present moment the rela-
ton of the debtor and creditor in the
United States involves nearly $5,000,-
900, 900. 1t is proposed by the amend
ment of the gentleman from Indiana
that at one fell stroke one-fifth of all
this enormous sum shall be wiped Off
repudiated--and that the process shall
be called honest legislation. Since I
have been in public life l have never
known any proposition that contained
SO many elements of vast rascality, of
colossal swindling as this.
Gentlemen may remember the finan-
cial shock of 1887, the later shock of
1857 and the still later shock i'll 1878.
Conceive them all in one vast crash,
and the financial ruin, the overthrow OF
business would be light in comparison
with the shock which would follow.
'Put in operation the provision now
suggested. and all our gold coin will
leave the country as fast as 1T can be
carried abroad. Do this, and reyolu.
ton in our monetary affairs utterly un-
paralleled in the history of our nation
would follow"
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1896-10-15

An honest and actual bi1netallism
means that gold and silver dollars shall
have an equal intrinsic value. This the
Republican party now stands for, and
this the United States will have if Nc
Kinley and Hobart are elected.

Even Senator Faulkner of West Vir-

gressional committee, .dmits that Ken
lucky is doubtful How about Maryland
and North Carolina and other states
that have been Democratic to the core?

Contrast the dignifed, courteous,
affable bearing Of Major Mckinley with

When Our Prosperity Was Greatest.

1t is mere pretense to attribute the
hard times to the fact that all our cur
rency is on gold basis. Good money
never made times hard. Those who as
.sert that our present industrial and
financial depression is the result of the
gold standard have not read American
history Alright or been careful students
of the events of recent years. We never
had greater prosperity in this country,
in every field of employment and indus,
try, than in the busy years from 1880 to
1892, during all of which time this
country was on gold basis and eR(

no office and held none which was gained by
subserviency. Who ever believed that Fred
eric I. Greenhalge could be bought or sold in
the political market, that brides could corrcpt
him. or threats cause -.im to hold his peaces
He succeeded because he deserved to sue
coed, and his success renews our hope for the
political fortunes of the country. When one
is studying the life of a man who has achieved
greatness he must seek for the sources OF his
power not in any circumstances of the out
ward life, but in the kingdom of the mind
where every man lives his real life, alone VAIN
his desires, his ambitions and his ideals.
He grew in Office and elsewhere because his
soul was fed with high thoughts and his I'M
agination was stimulated by the example OF
great men in all ages When the necessity Tor
action came he seemed to ask himself only ::
What now is right?' Often his public acts
excited criticism, and men foretold the loss of
popularity and yet in every such case his nc
ton was approved by the people, and he grew
in favor even with those whose purposes he de
feated. So strong was the belief of the people
that his rule of action was the rule OF simple
integrity that love for him grew, and with in
creasing approach to unanimlty the people Of
this commonwealth agreed to pay him honor
Within the limits OF the constitution there
was no public station that he might not have
won. The nation expected from him more
and greater things than he had yet achieved

absence of conventionality, and the great at
tention il pays to the humanities, whether i'll

His motto was: Have no more religion than
ia but bit have
In the maze of modern thought he insisted
that the clew might always be found by the
resolute soul intent upon doing its duty. He
was versed in the philosophic literature of the
day. He knew the effect of modern discovery
upon religious belief, hut he cared for no
certainty of belief which did not in some way
assist him IN the performance of his duty.

BURIED UNDER SAWDUST PILE.
Peculiar Death Of VIM. A. Wood. Estimable
Citizen Of Bowdoinham.

B0wdoinham, March 9. - This CON-
munity is shocked and saddencd by the
sudden death of Mr. William A. Wood,
which occurred at about 1890, Monday
forenoon. He was leading cart with
sawdust at the Standard Wood Cos. mill,
from a pile which had been dug under,
leaving shelf of loose sawdust, which
fell, burying him under it.
No one was with him at the time and II
is not known how long he was under the
pile, but it is thought it must have been
somewhere near half al hour before an
alarm was given and the s4wdust removed.
The doctors were sent for but he was pro.
u0unced dead.

ANCIENTS HAD SENSE
Dated Beginning of Year From

When All Things in Nature Start
Afresh.
Some Other Things in Which the Ancicnts
Have Given Us Points.

The ancients began their year with the
advent of spring. How much more ap-
proprlate thus to begin the New Year
with the new life of nature in the awak-
enlng spring. At this season all proces sss
throughout the natural world start afresh.
|. The ancients also showed their sagac-
ify and appreciation of the great changes
and active processes of the springtime, by
realizing that this is also the time for re
newed life and energy in the human sys-
tenn They well knew that the blood
should be cleansed from impurities and
the nerves re-invigorated at this season.
Hence the establishment of the custom OF
taking good spring medicine.
This most sensible and healthy custom
is followed by almost everybody at the
present day, few people of intelligence
venturing to go through this trying
time of change from winter to summer
without taking spring medicine.
The unanimity on this subject is set

been in regard to what is the best thing
to take. The people are now fast becom-

LAST OF EARTH.
Remains of Gov. GreenhaIge
Laid to Rest at Lowell.
No Determinations Display in Accord
ance With Wish of Deceased.
ELOQUENT and Touching Funeral Sermon by
the Rev. George Bachelor.

Lowell, Mass, March 9.-The funeral
of Governor Grcenhalge occurred To-Day
The ceremonies i'll all respects had the es-
sential characteristics of the man, the I'M
pressiveness that goes with simplicity and
quiet dignity. 1t was private, but not in
the sense of eXClusiveness.
The opportunity of the public to evince
their respect and sympathy was limited
only by the capacity of the church where
the public ceremonies We're held, and the
necessity of selection based upon the gov
ernor's social and official relations in life.
Words of sympathy and spiritual COM
fort were spoken to the family within
their own home, surrounded only by rcla-
tives, intimate friends and neighbors, and
the broader expression of coincidence was
made in the presence of representatives of
the numerous relations into which the de-
velopment of the deceased had carried
him.
There were no music, no display of mill
tary no conventionality, and while many
