Power Of . President.

As I said before. without any parti-
san feeling whatever. looking at this
as q plain business proposition, want
the government, under all conditions
and circumstances, and our president,
whoever he may be, to have the power
during every moment Of this govern
ment's existence to borrow money by
selling bonds whenever for any reason
it occurs that there is no money In the
treasury. Why deny that power to the
government? I know the constitution
says congress shall have power to bor-
row money. but this does not prevent
congress from comforting power on the
president to sell q per cent hve-year
bond to realize money to pay the debts
Of the government when for any rea-
son the money in the treasury Is ex-
hausted. This Is q wholesome power
to prevent national dishonor and ma
tional bankruptcy. and this is the
power for which contend.-Hon.

Hard Times and Free Silver.
The GAINESVILLE CTenn.) Leaf Chron-
icle has the following:
There Is not q first-class commercial
country on earth now that has free
coinage.
There IL not free silver country on
earth that has as much as S per cap
tia in circulation-all kinds Of money.
There Is in circulation in the
United States $24 per capita. or $3.50
more per capita than any free silver
! country on earth.
I'VE have more in circulation to-day
than ever before and more per capita
than any free silver country on earth.
Our dollar will buy more sugar,
coffee. -four, meal, meat, medicine.
hardware and clothing than in 1873.
"A barrel of corn, a bushel of wheat
or 100 pounds Of tobacco will buy near
ly double as much of the articles that
farmers consume as the same kind q
corn, wheat or tobacco would buy in
1873.
"The wages Of the laboring man will
OF life now as in 1873, and his wages
have not been reduced one-fourth as
much as the purchasing power Of his
money has been increased"
All Of the above propositions we as
sert without the fear Of intelligent con-
tradiction. Then. If 1t be fact that no
free silver country on earth has as
much as S. per capita; and If it be a
fact We have about $24 per capita: and
il 1t be fact that We have more sill
yer in circulation per capita than any
free silver country in the world: and 4
it be fact that the purchasing power
Of our dollar is now about double what
it was In 1873. and that the products of

Again, the cultivation method, to be
effective, must be frequent and thor
ough-conditions not always easy to
meet. Earth-litter mulching as prae-
ticed by this writer obviates most Of
tho difficulties named. Short-nbred
manure or litter is spread evenly over
the surface Of the ground to . depth
Of one or two inches. In q few days
the ground is cultivated, thoroughly
mixing the mulch with fine surface
earth. In the case of small patches,
this may be done with hoe, but in
the majority Of cases i. is best done
with a cultivator. After some time.
when the appearance of weeds or when
other causes make 1t necessary, the
cultivation IL repeated. The advant-
ages of this method are:
!. The moisture is more eRectually
conserved. and the root system takes
its proper position.
2. The soil Is better protected from
the direct heat of the sun. The earth
litter mulch Is q good non-conductor.
3. The manure thus applied keeps
intact the supply Of humus, thus in
creasing the soil capacity for moisture
and maintaining fertility. Nitrifica-
ton is also favored.
4. The best features of both old sys-
TENS are retained, and the method Is
applicable not only to trees and small
fruits, but to any cultivated crop.
s. Labor Is saved, the required cul-
tvation being materially reduced.

great revival in trade with the dawn
Of 1896, the statistics of trade failures
for the first half of this year are more
