In his speech q. Albany last week Mr..

to them that We have waited for twenty
years for other nations to help us, and il
We are going to restore bimetallism, We
have got to restore it alone, because
others do not come TO our assistance.
More than that. we believe that the as
sertion Of American independence will
do moro to bring about international bi-
netallisn than a servile dependence up
Oh our enemies to bring it to US. Our
opponents say that all we need is
restoration Of confidence. Whenever the
confidence man is abroad in a community,
the man who has the least confidence
gets of with the mest money. And /
am very much afraid that the confidence
man is abroad in this campaign. preach
ing: Have confidence and all will be

basis to rest upon.
Our opponents say that unless we
shape our financial policy to suit the
pleasure OF foreign nations, they will not
loan US any money. We reply that as
long a. We shape our financial policy ac-
cording TO their pleasure. we will always
be borrowers and can never be money
lenders ourselves. Confidence must rest
upon q substantial basis. Suppose that
. man in your community gives out his
notes until every body has them and then
somebody tries to collect note and finds
that the man has no property bcyond his
notes, how can you restore confidence in
that man, how can he inspire confidence
in the community? just in one way and
that is by putting property behind the
notes he has out. My friends how are
You going to restore confidence in the
United States by legislating value out of

III you want to restore confidence. you
have got to restore prosperity to the
great nasses OF the people. and talk as
much about good property as they have
been talking about good money. Money
can be too good. 1t can be so good tha.
you can long for it and pray for it. but

THE STRIPED CUCUMBER
BEETLE.

We are indebted to a. E. Weed,
Entomologist Miss. Experiment
Station, Agricultural College, Miss,
for the following information:
All who grow cucumbers are more
or less familiar with this insect.
While present TO some extent near
ly everywhere, in some seasons it lie
more numerous than usual. As
soon as the plants are above ground
the beetles attack the leaves and
in few days but little lie left of the
plants. The beetles always attack
the plants on the highest ground
first, SO that many times the plants
on the top of the hill are destroyed
while those on lower ground are
left unframed.
PREVENTIVE:
There IS no remedy for this in~
sect that is applicable Oh q large
scale. A good preventive, however,
consists IN placing tobacco dust
around the plants and this will keep
the beetles away. The tobacco
dust can be obtained through a
druggist at very little cost other
than the freight and a bag of 1t
should be kept on hand on every
farm at all times as it is useful for
many Purposes, especially for kill
ing lice on domestic animals. The
tobacco dust should be placed
around the cucumber plants just as
soon as they are up, beginning on
the high places first and then after
few days if the beetles are attack
ing the plants on the lower places,
the tobacco should be placed around
them also.
