Miss Anna c. Bracket, in an article
called among the Trees in the SEN
TENDER Harper's Magazine, advocates
forestry as an attractive and healtbfuI
pursuit for women, and, it must be
owned, makes out strong case for an
occupation in which she evidently de-
lights. An acquaintance with trees
Is not only source of keen enjoyment
to the person who knows them, but it
is capable Of promoting the general
good to so great degree that the en-
enlargement of the art of forestry is
In the nature Of a public benefaction.

The Canadians have become
afraid that American silver coins
will go to their bullion value, and
refuse to take them as money any
longer. Until recently they had
passed as current as Canadian sill
yer money, they being of the same
size and nominal value. A cores
pondent writes:
handed big American dollar
to a hackman the morning 1 arriv-
ed. He shook his head and said:
"Beggin' yer pardon, sir, we don't
take American silver any more"
"Since when?"
"Ten days or a fertnit."
That's good money, and we work
hard for it."
81 dare say ye do, sir, an twas
good ERE, sir, until lately; but
you we 'esrd of 'aving too much of
good thing, an that's what's the
matter"
"How is thatP" 1 asked.
"W'y, you see, sir, we've card as
'ow the silver fellers In tn States
is 'avin' it all their own way, sir,
an when they get 'old of the gov
ment they're goin' to ave free coin
age, an coin all tn silver that's
brought in to 'em, sir. An we're
thinkin' thet'll be too much NV a
good thing, sir, fer the more silver
dollars you git the less they're
worth, sir, an we Kanucks as 'as

want to get stuck with 'em, sir. I

National Democrats Met.

At the meeting of the Sound
Money, or National, Democrats OF
Bath county at the Courthouse
here Saturday, Aug. 18th, 1896,
Joseph II. Richart, County Chair
man, called the meeting to order
and stated its object, viz: To
select delegates to attend the Ken
tucky State convention at Louis
vile on Aug. Goth, 1895, composed
of representatives of those Demo
Gratis who oppose the Chicago
platform and the election of Bryan
and Sewall. The meeting was or
ganized with j. III. Richart Chair
man and G. w. Honaker, Sr., Sec
retary. The following were ap-
pointed delegates to the Louisville
convention -
C. w. Honaker, Sr., j. nj. Rich
art, j. j. Lacy, F. S. Allen, Allie
Lane, W. r. Peters, Sr., b. II. Cole

mers of the eastern part of Bath
county. Excepting two or three,
there are but few other men not
farmers to be mentioned in the
least wealthy class of the forego-
ing, and some of these few made a
part of their property at farming.
In view of these facts, is it not
too unreasonable and prejudicial to
all principles of right and Justice
to seek to array class against class
or to cry out against bankers and
other capitalists2 Let us call your
attention to the fact that the three
oldest bankers in the three towns
of Owingsville, Mt. Sterling and
Flemingsburg all failed. Banking
and the business of capitalists re-
quires the carefullest management
of all business. 1t may be profit
able or may be ruinous Just like
farming: it all depends upon
whether the business is conducted
on business principles, and even in
that event failure sometimes is un-
avoidable from the uncertainty OF
all human affairs.

tend, shall be considered alternates.
Therewas fair attendance,
though several from the county
who expected to attend did not get
here, but are in sympathy with the
movement. 1t is known that a
considerable number of Democratic
farmers are going to vote against
Bryan and Sewall and make no
parade of the matter; so the Chi
cago ticket will lose enough votes
in Bath county to more than defeat
it here.
Meetings were held in nearly ev-
cry county, and some appointed
more than a hundred delegates.
The reputation of the Chicago
convention is the most formidable
any party ever experienced in Ken
lucky. In Clark, Bourbon, Scatt,
Woodford, Franklin, Todd, Chris
tian and several other counties the
outspoken National Democrats
number up into the hundreds. The
convention today at Louisville is
going to be a meeting of representa-
tive Democrats that has never been
equalled scarcely in point of good
citizenship, individual prominence
and devotion to the pure principles
of Democracy. The men who are
back of this movement are of the
sort that have given the Democratic
party its character in the past and,
as a rule, are men who, not seeking
Office, have given their time, money
and devotion to the Democratic
party for the sake of the principle:
it represen ted in the past.

AS soon as Stewart and Jones
began to think they needed a mar
ket for their immense silver pro-
duct they became selfish silverites,
and they have been silverites ever
since, willing to force the Govern
ment on any course, regardless of
consequences, just so they could
make bigger profit on their silver
metal. The gall of such men is
prodigious. They have such a
contempt for the understanding Of
the masses of the people that they
hope by appealing to the dishones-
ty of some, the eupidity of Others.
the ambition of the worn-out South
ern politicians, and the supposed
ignorance of the great majority of
plain people, to increase their per-
sonal fortune, and fasten themselves
down on their people for a life
tenure in the United Senate.

We have received copy of the
first issue of The Jeffersonian Dem
ocrat, published at Winchester,
Ky, by the Sound Money League
of Clark county. 1t is a 6-column
folio, beautifully printed and taste
fully made up. Editorially it ably
defends the position of those DEM
ocrats who repudiate the Chicago
platform and ticket, and will not
only hold in line the several hun
dred faithful in Clark county, but
Will likely make recruits rapidly
there and wherever it circulates.
At least that is our hope, and we
extend the hand of cordial greet
ing to The Jeffersonian Democrat,
and wish it unbounded success.

THE alleged interviews with DIR.
Taimage, which are now being used
extensively for political purposes,
has drawn a protest from the emf
nent divine, who objects most siren
uously to the use of his name with
out authority or being credited with
utterances that he never gave voice
to. In card to the editor of the
New York Sun the distinguished
clergyman says: "Most of the
many Interviews S1ttributed to me
on the gold anu Silver question
have no foundation whatever in
fact. 1 have a better way of saying
what l think on public affairs than
in an interview which may be twis-
ted this way or that. The Lord
Almighty alone knows what will be
the decision of the ballot box in
November, but no one can make me
believe that this country, which
seems from the foundation of our
institution to have been under Di-
uine Protection, will be allowed
through the unwisdom of its friends
to go to ruin. Our best days are
yet to come."-Danville Advocate.

Col. FRED ID. GRANT. in letter
to Attorney General w. A. Ketch-
am, of Indiana, says he often talk
ed with President Grant, his faith
er, on the question of standards of
currency, and his father never in
timated that he wouldn't have sign
ed the "crime-of- 1873" bill if he
had known it "demonetized" silver.
Washington, Jefferson, Jackson,
Webster, Lincoln, Blaine, and 9TH
ers, by real or pretended extracts
from their writings or speeches,
are quoted as favoring or tending
to favor free coinage of silver at 16
to 1,when the extracts taken in con-
nection with what goes before or
comes after do not favor any such
measure or policy. Gar5ling is a
crafty trick to deceive end for years
the silverite million.ires and veal
thy men interested have hired wri-
ters to search for and misapply
everything they can find or think
safe to invent as silverite argument.

STATE NEWS.

The Ky. Coal Operators in
State convention last week issued
the following
A call for a convention Of the
owners of coal mines in the United
States, to be held in Chicago, Sep
tember 80, to consider the follow
ing.
Whereas, the silver mine owners
of the country have called on the
American people, through the Pop
ocratic and Populist parties. to
pass laws, whereby the product of
the silver mines canbe coined irto
legal tender money at twice its
market value; and,
Whereas, the entire product of
the said silver mines is but sixty
four million dollars per year; and,
Whereas, the reason given for
this demand by said silver mine
owners and the members of the
great Popocratic and Populistic
parties is that more money is need
ed in the country; and,
Whereas, the coal mines of the
United States produce yearly one
hundred and seventy eight millions
of tons of coal that sells for an av-
erage of s1.0S per ton; and,
Whereas, The owners of the coal
mines, believing that the silver
mine owners, under the Constitu-
tion, have no more rights and priv
ileges than themselves, therefore,
Resolved, That the Government
of the United States of America
issue to each coal mine owner a
certificate for two dollars for each
ton of coal mined, each certificate
to be legal tender for all debts,
public and private.
Resolved, That the coal mine
owners, who are patriotic and hb-
eral citizens, realizing the need of
more money for themselves and for
the country, believe that this
will put into circulation
about four hundred millions of
dollars yearly. thereby relieving
the necessities of the coal mine
owners and the people nearly four
times more rapidly than can possi-
bly, be done by the owners of the
silver mines.

sticks too close on all occasions for
the old scheming Southern cam
