Interesting to Butter Makers.

All butter makers will be interested in
reading what c. X. Prime, proprietor of the
Neshobe Creamery of Brandon, VT, has TO
say IN regard to the new Carrottine Butter
Color.
"Carrottlne gives more uniform color
than I have ever been able to get with the
llqnid colors and there is also a wider range
in its use- If l make mistake and get in
too much there is no harm done, the only
noticeable difference being a little deeper
yellow without the least trace of a reddish
color that reminds one of a brick yard. /
consider Carrottine since you improyed and
strengthened it the perfection of Butter
Colors.'' Signed, C.. r.. PRIxS.

gladly reply to any inquiries.

Almost Got There.

Senator Butler OF North Carolina, who
was made chairman of the Populistic con
vention at St. Louis said:
:, The great national Democratic party of
Chicago was forced to take position. for
they could not evade the issue longer: thew
were frightened ; they were SO alarmed,
and some OF them, no doubt so conscience
stricken, St that they formally decided to de-
hberately commit petty and grand lar
cceny by stealing the Peoples Party plat
form almost entire. They almost tried to
get into our party.
1t would seem to an unprejudiced OBJ
server that the Democrats succeeded ad-
mlrably in stealing Populistic thunder.

LABOR ALSO SUFFERED.

The laboring man also suffered.
Wages are the last to rise, the first to de-
decline under a tluctuating currency.
They never rise in du- proportion to the
depreciation of the latter, so that laboring
men of all classes have suffered in Argen-
tlna more than any other. The present
clamor in that country for return to
sound money is most emphatic among the
workmen. farmers and the mass OF men
engaged in legitimate business. If all
tins has any lesson for Americans today,
It is that all classes of citizens should stand
6rmly for an honest dollar.n
