Ell. RcgiSter-A All is booming at this

last week,and Mr.. Ing made the chief
speech, two hours and twenty minutes

following a few boys in the Bryan

uufounded. Then came John Raney to
do the caustic act. Why the Republi-
cans allow him to speek is strange
thing. His pungent language settled
the whole matter with n few Republi-
cans who were still on the fence. They
are now in the Free Silver camp. Let
John keep on, by all means.

subjects of taxation, while in other
Staets the constitutions must be amend
ed before it would be admissible to
free labor from the fines and burdens
of taxation. The State is small con-
tanning but three counties. New Cas-
tie. Kent, and Sussex, and yet it adopt

OF taxation, a system that takes all
public revenue from what John Stew
art Mill termed the ''unearned in

including improvements, would be so
great that the system would spread as
the Australian system of voting has

though they are for Bryan and Sewall.
The local payers, who favor the move
ment seem confident of success. Let
US hope the experiment may nave a
happier result than similar expert
ment made in the latter half of the last
century. Turgot (Tur-zhoo) a French
enconomist had written book on the
lines OF Henry Georges Progress and
impressed by it that he gave the auth
or the intendency of the generdlistS'
County of Limosin with arbitrary
powers. Turgot took away from the
nobility and clergy all their special
privileges and decreed that no product
of human labor should be taxed, and
that the actual values of lands, lots,
and mines. should go into the public
treasury and not into the pockets of
landlords and speculators. This COM
pletely abolished industrial slavery
and fulfilled the scriptural injunction,
..he who will not work neither shall
he eat" After thirteen years of trial
Louis was so pleased he made Turgot
his prime minister and asked him to
spread the same reform over all France;
but the opposition of the nobility, the
clergy. the rich and social drones, was
so aroused and united that they thwart-
ed Turgot, who, disguised by the per-
secution of those he purposed to sue
cor, resigned after twenty months iu-
cumbency of the Office. The aristo-
cracy then took such steps to entrench
themselves that they provoked the
Revolution. or Reign of Terror and
Louis head, with thousands OF others,
dropped IN basket.
Our Goldfish aristocracy will fight
hard against the Democracy of Turgot,
now redtUiUuS, but let as hope we shall
need a guillotlne to loosen their stiff
necks. WM. CAMM.

Ed. RegtSter-Just as we reached
home Saturday night it set in for a
regular storm, and kept it up all night,
all day Sunday, and all day Monday.
Tuesday morning it stopped raining,
but was cloudy and cool. So Father
Martin took me in charge and went
exploring along the banks of the river
down through Happy Hollow, down
among the boats and fishermen and
driftwood catchers. And such an as
sortment of wood l never saw piled in
one wood yard: parts OF fences that
had come floating down the river, from
what part no one knows, parts of plank
fences and picket fences; parts of
houses, steam boats, and all sorts of
wreckage; doors of houses, gates, ev-
erything you can think of that will
float on the water.
AS we loitereo along, seeing boats go
by, fisherman fishing from their boats,
there came kind of fascination. As
we sat to rest we saw way below US a
sand boat out in mid-stream pumping
up sand out of the bottom of the river
and loading cars with sand TO build
with. 1t looked so funny to see them
pump sand. When the cars are all
loaded they are taken up to the city
and the sand is used to make mortar.
we started down stream where we saw
a steamboat towing big barge loaded
down with the largest logs l ever saw.
They were all cut about five feet long
Those logs had been cut in Tennessee
and Kentucky and brought to the bas-
ket factory just below US. When we
came to the basket factory we were
admitted to the factory. They do not
allow persons to visit the place, except
by special permission. One of the
boys took US to see every part OF the
machinery, from the time the log is
taken of of the barge until it is made
into baskets. If those logs are dry
they are put in great vats of boiling
water until they are soaked through
or cooked. Then they are put in a
great lathe with the knife of the lathe
is just as long as the log. As the log
turns over aud over that great knife
chips off a little, aud as it comes near
er and nearer it takes off the uneven
places until it takes a sheet of wood
off all around. Those sheets, as they
come of, just as you would unroll a
roll of paper, are sent to great knife
that cuts down through these sheets as
they are fed by the machiue, and here
you have the splits your basket is
made of. These splits are taken up
stairs. where girls weave them into
mats, and other girls each catches up
mat and places it against long iron
bin just the size of the basket She
first catches up piece of trimming and
puts il around the form, and with a
tack which she takes out of her mouth
sticks in the rim aud with the other
hand drives the tack at one stroke.
She then shuts the other half of the
form and gathers the splits, when she
weaves the corner splits; then puts
another rim around and with one hand
sticks the tack; with the other drives
the tack Then with a sharp knife
she cuts the splits even around the
rim. Then the form flies open aud
falls out q basket ready for the han
die. And il is surprising how quick
that girl will make a basket. Every
three minutes she will make a basket.

way the Indians that used TO camp at
my fathers farm in my childhood days
made baskets out of splits that we're
mades with a butcher knife. o, the
world moves right along! I asked the
boss how many baskets one girl could
make in a day. He said, IL don't
know; but great many. Although
we make thousands OF baskets each
day, We can't begin to supply the de-
mand.
AS We passed Happy Hollow, such a
sight Shanties of all sorts made of
old pieces of cumbersome made on
fatboats, some on the mud with posts
driven in the mud, with fat roofs. and
as close together as possible; and these
shanties some of them not as large as
a good chicken coop, shelter all sorts
of the drift of the earth-men OF all
ages of all nations and all colors. But
fortunately l saw no little children

many guiis flying over the water to

Martin said. They, like the geese and
ducks that used to fly in swarms, are
gone- Why, in the old time the air
would be full of geese, ducks, gulls.
and all kind of fowls, at this time OF
the year, and the sandbars would be
covered with thousands of crows and
at night they would fly to the woods to
rOost. But l haven't seen a crow for
a long time. You remember at this
time OF the year great focks of pig
cons would fly so as to almost hide the
sun for hours. but we don't see a pig
con now. Gone, all gone! No. sir,
times are different from the old DAYS
of long ago."
As sat and looked aud gazed at the
surroundings, kind of dreamy feel
ing came over me, as l sang in my
thoughts the old song,
soft in the Silly night,
Ere slumber's chain hath bound me,
Fond memory brings the light
OF other days around me-"
o it makes me feel sad to see all the
old time landmarks gone. After we
had looked as long as we thought was
good for US, we made our way back to
where the street cars came whirring
past us with no visible power to carry
them along. When we at last reached
home | found letters from loving
friends. and as the weather was cold
and chilly spent the rest of the day
reading and talking with friends and
relatives. seated by good coal fire,
