nLANrs TIE DEMOCRATS.

Senator Butler, the Populist Chair
man, rather rubbed it on the demo-
Gratis when he issued an address to the
country putting all the blame for de-
feat on them, and asserting that the
populists will be the principal oppo-
nents of the republicans in 1900. The
address has made the democrats hop
ping mad, but Butler thinks them of
so little consequence now that he does
not care.

The Intrumental and Vocal Concert
given on the 27th Of last month by pas
tor letters family in the Shiloh Baptist
Church under the direction OF Prof.
Harry +. Williams assisted by Mr.. A.
ID Aintolo. distinguished Clarionetist
was one of the best ever given in the

wonderful musical talent for their

The vocal ard instrumental concert
given by the family at the Shiloh BAp-
fist Church last evening. proved a great
success. The auditorium and the Sun
day-shoOl apartments were thrown to-
getber, snc yet the audience more than
nlled the house, even standing room
being at a premium, and there appear
ed TO be but one opinion as TO the mer-
ITS % the recital.
It was an interesting spectacle to see
Mr. and Mrs. Jeter with their five
children, Mrs. Jeter having been the
musical instructor of the group, on the
stage in such harmonious relations.
No less than six musical instruments
were In use, and both mother and chill
dren seemed familiar with each. Some
prominent local musicians were pres
emit, and the universal verdict was that
the concert was both interesting and
enjoyable.
Rev Mr.. Jeter presided and made
the announcements, and Messrs Hsr. Y
+. Williams and Aintolo rendered val
liable assistance.

Pensions for Veterans.

The veterans Of the Union armies de-
serve and should receive fair treatment
and generous recognition, Whenever
practicable they should be given the
preference In the matter OF employ
ment and they are entitled TO the en-
ac,ment OF such laws a. best ealoula,'
ed TO secure the tulnllment OF the
pledges made TO them in the dark days
OF the oountry's peril. We denouneo
the practice OF the pension bureau 80
rceklcssly and unjus.ly carried on by
the present administration. Of reducing
pensions and arbitrarily dropping
nance from the rolls. as deserving the
severest condemnation Of the American
people.

Reciprocity With Other Nations.

We believe the repeal OF the reel
procity arrangements negotiated by the
last Republican administration was a
national calamity, and we demand
their renewal and extension on such
terms as win equalize our trade with
other nations. remove the restrictions
which now obstruct the sale Of Amer
ican products In the ports OF other
countries and secure the enlarged mar
kets Of our farms, forests and factories.
Protection and reciprocity are twin
measures Of Republican policy, and go
hand In hand. Democratic rule has
recklessly struck down both, and both
must be re-establlshed. Protection for
what we produce, free admission for
the necessaries Of life which we don't
produce, reciprocal agreements OF mu-
tual interest which gain open markets
for us in return for our open market to
others. Protection builds up domestic
industry and trade and secures our
own market for ourselves. Reciprocity
builds up foreign trade and finds an
outlet for our surplus.

Independence of Cnba.

From the hour OF achieving their own
independence the people OF the United
States have regarded with sympathy
the struggles OF other American peoples
to free themselves from European dom
ination. We watch with deep and abId-
ing interest the heroic battle OF the Gu
ban patriots against cruelty and op-
preston. and our best hopes go out for
the full success OF their determined con-
test for liberty.
The government OF Spain, having lost
control Of Cuba and being unable to
protect the property or lives Of resi-
dent American citizens or to comply
with its treaty oblIgatlones, we believe
that the government Of the United
States should actively use It's influence
and good offices to restore peace and
give independence to the island.

LIFE INSURANCE AND DEPRE-
GATED CURRENCY.

Every man and woman in the Unit
ed states who has laid up money in
life insurance as a bulwark against
sickness or misfortune or for the pro-
lection OF widows, orphans, parents,
or other dependents. must look with
just alarm upon the proposal so to
alter the monetary system Of the
country as to rob them Of so cents on
every dollar their investment has earn
ed.
Farmers to whom the free silver
craze IS supposed TO present Pc
culiarly plausible aspect, are uumer-
Gus among the holders Of life in sur
ance. What will il benefit them to
give their votes for change from the
existing gold standard to the silver
standard when they know perfectly
wen that they win be robbing them
selves OF one-half the value in policies
that mature during their own lives and
rObbing their children Of one-half Of
the value Of policies to mature only
with the death Of the premium buyer?
VIII a temporary and artificial rise
in the price Of commodities be COM
pensation for such suicidal folly as
this?''
The head OF one Of the great life
insurance companies. addressing let
ter TO its 100000 policy holders, says;
"Supposing the free silver party TO
succeed in November next, we shall
be on the single sa-eent silver dollar
basis. one hundred-cent dollars do
not swap for 5s-cent dollars Of silver,
mon or copper. Fifty-two cents worth
Of anything can never buy more than
s. cents worth Of anything else. Then
the purchasing power Of your policies
win be cut in two."
While the farmer is being tickled
with the ides that he viii get two
prices for what he has to sell. the
fact is being kept from him that the
dollar which will then remain to buy
things with will have lost one-half
It's purchasing power.
win it do the farmer any good to
have the benefciaries Of life insurance
able to buy only one-half as much
Of what he has to sell as they do now?
There are in force in the United
States nearly 100000 life insurance
policies. They represent the vast sum
Of $3.50, ,16s.se4. More than half this
money is spent in the purchase of the
products Of the soil. VIII it do the
farmer any good to take, by his vote,
one-half the purchasing power out of
this prineely quantity Of money?
In 1894 the disbursements Of thirty
three life Insurance companies were
S17ISss, 1888. OF this the farmer receiv-
ed fully one-half. WIN he be more con-
tent hereafter to have the half shrivel
TO a fourth?
