THE FARMERS CONGRESS RE-
SOLVES UPON THE VITAL
QUESTION.
General Stone of the Agricultural De
partment Presents a Plan for Inter-
national B~i-metallism Which He
Believes Will Avoid Future Con-
tests-International Currency.

indianapolis, Ind. Nov. lin the
Farmers congress today a resolution
was offered and referred favoring an
initiative and referendum; also a grad
ed land tax. J. Adam Bede Of St. Paul
said he was a democrat, but knew sill
yer could only be mined by the
wealthy. by great corporations, and
they also could get any profit out Of 1t.
A resolution with a decided silver ring
was introduced by Mr.. Offut of Indiana
and was substituted for the following
from the committee on resolutions and
adopted against a warm protest:
Whereas, A general concensus o.
opinion Of the people of the United
States is hat gold and silver coin on
just parity of value should be equally
money of ultimate redemption without
limit in which this Farmers national
congress concurs. but differences OF
opinion exist as to the best method by
which this policy can be secured; and,
Whereas, The recent election result
ed in favor OF bimetallism by interna-
tFoaal agreement between commercial
nations: therefore,
Resolved, That the Farmers Nation
al congress urgently requests the in
coming administration Of the national
government to speedily adopt all prac-
ticable methods to obtain a concur
renee Of a sufficient number Of nations
to secure international bimetallism.
with unlimited coinage of gold and sill
YER as equal money of redemption and
thereby restore bimetallic prices for
the worlds commerce.
Mr.. Lawrence. chairman of the COM
mFttee. said the committee with one
exception were of the opinion that the
resolutions expressed the opinion Of
the v asst majority of the people OF the
United States and that the substitute
was a proper one.
The material which is to be present.
ed to congress covers the whole sub
ject of protective duties relating to ag-
ricultural interests. 1t quotes statis-
tics. showing the operation Of the Will
son tariff bill as compared with the
Mckinley bill of 1890, and then says in
order to give effect to the policy Of pro-
lection three things are to be observed:
First-That the American farmers can
supply nearly all the farm products in
sufficient to meet the needs o.
the American people
Second--That as to farm products
there can be no combination or mono
poly to exact exorbttant pricecs.
Third-It results from those facts
hat as such farm products duties
should be such as to secure to Amer
ket.
Among products where such duties
are required are: Cotton, hemp, fax,
wheat, corn, barley, oats, potatoes.
hops. dairy products. garden products,
poultry, eggs, live stock (for food,
many kinds OF tobacco. apples and 9th
er orchard fruits. AS to sugar, wool
and rice, which the American farmer
cannot sufficiently produce to supply
all our needs, the duties should not be
prohDbitory. but should be amply pro,
~tective, so thai in due time we may be
enabled to supply all.

EDITOR JoURNAL:-The report is
in circulation that Mr.. Bryan has
said chat he was in favor uf removing
the last vestige of the tariff and
stop the payment of all pensions.
Can you inform me, when and where
he made such remarks.
Please give what information you
can along this line. AS for me / hope
we will have silver fixed and then the
tariff.
j. NJ. KITCHEN.
Congressman Bryan was and Is a
tariff reformer. He voted for the
Wilson bill, though as it came back
from the senate TO the house II was
so strongly protective that Cleveland
would not sign 1t and the act became
a law without his approval. Bryan
was the father of the income tax fea-
ture, and is a champion of that prin-
ciple which he declares is just law.
Both the silver Democratic and Pop
ulist parties which nominated Bryan
are on platforms OF liberal pensions to
old soldiers. ED. j.

Business enterprise took a new tack a

good old days described by Dickens and
his ilk when creditors masqueraded in all
sorts of fancy costumes for the better
trapping of their prey This modern in
stance occurred in this city, and though
not largely commented upon by the parties
interested. has caused some commotion in
certain circles.
1t seems that social p!unger had con-
traeted bills of various kinds, which, in
spite of repeated duns, had remained I'M
paid. Finally one of the creditors issued d
writ to be served upon the delinquent GUS
toner. Time and again the bearer of the
summons called for the purpose of serving

too busily engaged to be SEEN Finally a
ruse was adopted to carry out the game.

ASTRONOMICAL PROBLEM.
Evolution as Applied to the Stars and
the Universes.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Prof. T. J. j. See of the astronomical de-
partment of the University of Chicago is
reported to be at work on the problem of
evolution, not simply that OF the earth, but
that of stars and universes His leading
line of thought on the subject is directed to
the effects of tidal action in a gradual al
iteration of the orbits of bodies this being
consequent to the investigation of changes
in the distance Of the moon from the earth
due to tidal action at the surface of one or
both. Darwin "a son of the author of The
Origin of Speces'D has led in this investiga-
ton, the results of which are stated in
popular form by Sir Robert Ball in his
Story of the Heavens"
II is shown that the formation of tides
on the earth causes the effective centers Of
attraction to be some distance away from
the center of the undiSturbed spherod for
which reason the line joining The effective
centers of gravity in the two bodies forms
a small angle with the line that otherwise
ould be the one along which the two
bodies would tend to fall toward each other
ard the movement is CORRESPONDENCE diff
ferent from what IT would be in the undis-
turbed orbit. This tidal movement ac-
counts for the widening out of the dis
lance between the earth and moon and tho
lengthening of the lunar month from few
hours TO about four weeks, and il is easy
to see that the process is far from being
ended.
Prof. See is applying this line of reason
ing to some of the double stars, and pro-
poses to extend it to all of them If results
seem to justify II. He has computed from
observed perturbatons the probable exis-
tence OF yet unseen star connected with
a binary" in the constellation Ophiuchus.
hut the fact hardly justifies the assertion
that ne mas discovered" it. Perhaps the
stranger may be seen through the new
1erkes telescope when that instrument is
put into actice service and, If so, the work
OF the computsr will deserve to rank seq
ono only to that by which the existence
OF the planet Neptune was made known
about fifty years ago

a mar who rode on the same train with
the ex-Empress Eugenie on her way to
pay a visit to the Princess Beatrice at
Nice, says that she shows no trace of
beauty, but that the imper;ous will that
brought on the Franco-Prussian war is be-
coming more and more clearly stamped on
her face. Nevertheless, she was dis rer-
vous as possible over the difficulty of step
ping from her compartment to the plat
form-a step that French cars make some
thing of feat for any woman, and which
Eugenie's rheumatism rendered alarming
to her-to judge from the way she called
on the Lord in true French fashion She
was walking, as usual, with a cane The
special tie between her and the Princess
Beatrice is that the English princess and
the prince imperial were in love with each
other; and it was mainly to crush their in

was allowed to go to his daathy

ARTIFICIAL SUNSHINE,
Man Who IL Going Into Agriculture
New Lines.

New Lines.
A Star reporter the other day came across
a man who, if he is to be believed and he
ought to be. for he is worth a million md
doesn't have to lie. is working Il revolution
in farming and fruit raising. He isn't
ready to spring his scheme yet, but he is
ready to say a few things. and ne said
some of them to the reporter.
Il have been" he said. in response to an
inquiry. for many years interested in
the problems of electricity, especially in it's
application as a light-producing element
However, l did no experimenting until
within a few years. the last three TO be
accurate. and in that time 1 have devoted
myself to the study of the effect of electric
light upon vegetation. On my farm for

made any of the money in that business
1 have a fine cave, which has never been
fully explored. One chamber in it is great
semi-circular place, covering at least five
acres, and rooted in by magnificent. cell
ing as white rs snow.
The floor of this chamber is quite level
and even, and here l have conducted my
experiments. The clay floor 1 have had

have it carefully irrigated from spring

use the best of fertilizers. Now for the
light. l began first with the ordinary
arc light, but results were not as Salts
factory as l could wish. Tesla, however
was opening way for ME to better things,
and later McFarlane Moore, with his phos-
phorescent, etheric light has about solved
the problem. This light, you understand,
Is the result of the agitation of atmos-
pheric molecules by electrostatic currents
from thin metal plates and is practically
sunshine made to order.
There are no heavy shadows, as with
the ordinary electric light. the etheric light
being even more diffusive and soft than
sunshine. The voltage required is much
less also, and the hundred horse power en-
CINE which l have been using makes my
cavern chamber as brilliant as any sun
kissed day you ever saw. OF the tempera-
ture of my subterranean farm, I need
scarcely speak. You know the tempera-
ture of caves remains all the year at about
81 degrees, Fahrenheit and as the water
from the spring I irrigate from Is of the
degree Of the ordinary warm springs of
Virginia 1 have just what want in light
and heat.
