Tree PFunfnn.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

10 tne EuitOr OF Inc Evening Star:
Having recently talked with both Mr..
Saunders and Mr.. Saul on this very uues-
tion of tree pruning I happen to know
that the communication In The Star signed
a. w. b. is buIlesque, instead of a cor
rect representation of their views, as it
processes to be. My great respect for both
those gentlemen induces me to set them
right on this question, especially since an
other correspondent few weeks ago held
the present parking commission respoa-
against the protest Of both Mr.. Saunders
and Mr.. Saul Indeed it was in this very
question more than any other that the
old board split.
MIR. Saul on this subject a proper state
ment is that they believe there Is always a
compensation or balance set up between
top and the roots. When nature gives
tree thrifty top it furnishes the roots
to sustain that top. While they are not
opposed to judicious thinning out of the
tops of certain trees at certain times they
are opposed to the practice of turning a
gang OF negroes loose on the streets and
permitting them to shear off the tops Of
half-grown trees, thus SO emasculating
their vitality that for years afterwari they
lift the stump of their limbs as mute but
very effective witnesses of the barbarity
and ignorance of man. This method, ac-
cording to the views of the present hoard,
induces debility in the tree and decreased
root growth. To meet this reason, n.,ble
theory, which accords with the views of
many careful and able observers, the writer
OF the communication in question makes
merry over the observation of Mr. Saun-
ders that nearly all the trees uprooted
in the recent storm showed defective root
growth. The missing roots are u,reer
ground, says your correspondent, "and an
expert can only stand above and indulge
his Imagination as to the conditions be-
low" That sounds well. but for all that
1t is absurd. When tree Is blown over
II any large roots remain under ground
there must be a point of fracture between
what is below and what Is above. If that
fracture Is not present and If there are
no large roots radiating from the tree to
break. an expert. like Mr.. Saunders, does
not have to indulge his Imagination very
much to see that there are no larger radiat-
ing roots under ground Or above ground
After the above explanation Of tie theory
Of Mr.. Saunders and Mr.. Saul quote this
sentence from the communication in cues
tion to show that the writer purposely
distorted their views In order the mere

A Florida Lecture.

The lecture in the Geographic Societys
course on next Friday evening bears the
title 1.-The Southern Peninsula Of the United
States" by Rev. John N. MacGonigle, pas
ter of the Memorial Presbyterian Church.
st. Augustine, Fla. The lecture will be
copiously illustrated with lantern views of
Florida's peculiar features, and perhaps
the most attractive feature will be a con-
siderable amount of original information in
regard to the less known portions of the
everglades and the recent Investigations
which have been made in the neighborhood
Of Biscayne bay. Mr.. MacGonigle, who is
not only an accomplished speaker, but an
extremely acute observer, has had ample
opportunity during the last three years in
Florida to make many examinations him
self, besides coming in contact with MANY
explorers. including Seminole Indians, whose
writings would never be published except
fer some such occasion as this.

A Warming From the Associated
Charities.

Secretary Wilson of the Associated Cbari-

young man who has been making begging
appeals to the citizens the past few days.
The young man has lost his left hand, and
he tells that he has been to the Associated
Charities and was refused help because he
could not saw wood. Several complaints
have come to the office because the young
man has not been helped. As a matter
OF fact. the young man has never been at
the Associated Charities Office at all.
though he has been directed there by sew
eral people.
The secretary requests that any one
seeing this young man on the streets or
being appealed to by him will notify the
office, SO that they may be able to find
him. The office can be reached by teIe-

YARD
A BIG BUSINESS AND PROFIT
ABLE.

The great American hen is stTutting
to the front. A careful estimate, which
we believe to be reliable, shows a total
of nearly 400 million fowls now in the
United States, worth about $500, 000,.
600! This is as much as all the hogs In
the country today are worth, and
nearly four times the value of Ameri
can sheep, while mich COWS r valued
at 400, other cattle 564 and horses at
$50 millions Of dollars respectively.
The egg product of some 1900 million
dozen last year brought poultry keep
ers nearly SIS 600, 600, equal in value
to all the m. ats, provisions, cattle, hogs
and dairy produce exported by this
country last year, and far exceeding
the value of our ~breadstutfs exports
Yet the United States continues to i'm
port eggs! No wonder interest in hens
is more keen than ever. OR adver
tisers of eggs, thoroughbred poultry,
in~cubators, etc, report a better trade
80 far this season than ever. This, to
gether with the success of the numer
GUS poultry shows, indicates conclu-
sively the poultry boom" that is the
striking feature in this spring of 1896!

have been on our knees begging mercy
of the banks ever since. The usual
New York clearings of recent years,
have been from twelve to fourteen
billions per annum less than in 1881,
Notwithstanding the continual increase
of population of over half a million per
annUm.
1t is now easy to see the truth of two
financial laws: % Money will not cir,
culate when it's volume is decreasing
and prices are rising. These statements
have no exceptions. An appreciating
money will not circulate, and no physi
cal force can compel it to do but IN.
crease the volume until prices have
touched bottom and begin to rise, and
then no ply steal force can prevent it
from circulating. State the case in any
form you please and the fact remains
the same, without exception.
And still another fact IL inst as true
and just as rec from exemption, viz:
When prices are rising ana times are
good, the prices of all property and all
labor share III the general rise and all
Owners of property and all lab0rers are
benefited. This law, like al the laws
of finance, i8 s%elf-8cting end has no eX.

BENEFITS OF MORE MONEY.
How an Increase of Currency VIII Reach
the People.
BY Hon. John Davis

by Hon. John Davis
AnintellIgent POpullst correspondent
asks me to state in as few words as pos
siOle how an increase of the currency
Of the country will benefit the common
people who are at present without
money. In other words: Suppose more
money should be issued by the goz ern
ment, how would any particular indi
vidual now without money get any of
it or in any way be benefited by it2
The question is an important and
very proper ne. But, before al sTer
ing il, let me ask another covering the
same ground from another point o
view. Suppose the government should
issue more money and pay it out in the
usual disbursements of thegovernment;
for pensions, running expenses, ETC.,
and for al these purposes fer which
appropriations must be made, thus
making money plentier, prices of labor
and property higher and taxes less,
how could any Individual man now
without money fail to get some of it,
and to receive some bent fits from the
issue2
Then again, to make the matter
palmer: The running expenses of the
government, including the usual dis
O~ursements, for which appropriations
are made, are about FIVE hundred mil
lion dollars $500. 600, OOO per annum.
Every cent Of that immense sum costs
every individual man something. be
cause he uses taxable articles, or, bus
goods at o higher price on which
the merchants have paid taxes. The
facts show that almost the entire
amount OF the government taxes to
meet it's expenses and disbursements,
fall directly or indirectly upon the
labor of the cCuntry-upon the COM
mon people who are usually very sc r
Of money. Nov suppose instead Of
making appropriate ms and levying
taxes to pay that $500, 900 900 per an
mum, the government should issue
greenbacks to thet amount and pay
them out to the pensioners and en-

FROM NASH COUNTY.

4N>&4 1890
A correspondent in Nash county
sends the following items:
The Rocky Mount Pr 0nix reports
the resignation" of Mr.. r Fl Kicks as
County Commissioner of Nash county,
and the appointment Of Mr.. wv. B. p
Harper in his place. Mr.. Kicks, who
was regularly elected County Commits
sioner Of Nash, accepted an appoint
ment from Governor Carr last Spring
as director of the penitentiary, and
q lallfed. Under the Supreme Court
Decisions, so prominently shown by
Governor Carr against the Pcpullsts,
the first office held by Mr.. Kicks was
vacated by the acceptance of the sec
Oud, thatOf director of the pe~nitentlary.
Mr.. Kicks being a Democrat, l notified
our Populist Clerk Of the Superior
Court of Nash to GUST him, which was
done by allo wing him to ''resign," said
Clerk filling the vacancy under the
new county government law. MIR.
Il cks is a clever gentleman, and doubt
less made q good officer, but was dom
mated by party Influence, and as the
Governor was so anxious to decapltate
the PopUlists, we want due credit given
the Populists for serving his party the
same sauce. So it seems, as Mr., gers,

EIgecombe county ought to issue
