ALL THE MORE.
pistol range, stood behind tree and
fired at the nearest hog. Hardly had
the big fellow rolled, kicking, to the
earth when every bush and tuft of
grass within range seemed to disclose
hog. For moment their angry
grunts and squeals filled the air, and
then, seeming the young hunter, they
swarmed toward him. He saw his dan
ger at once, and succeeded in reaching
the lowest limb of the tree just as the
nearest peccary leaped for his foot.
The infatuated animals swarmed
about Philips stronghold by hundreds,
tearing the bark, crowding over one
another and granting savagely. In the
hope of driving them of the young
hunter fired at them with his revolver.
Every one of his 20 shots killed its hog.
But instead of frightening the herd
away it seemed to infuriate the animals
all the more. They tramrled down
their dead companions and their cries
brought recnforcements from the
jungle.
And now there was the sound of
steady scraping and tearing at the wood
of the tree as the animals gnawed to-
ward it's heart. AS those nearest it
grew weary they gave way to others,
and thus hour after hour the rasping
of the teeth continued.
Philip grew sick and weary. The
surging crowd of dark-sklnned objects
below him tired his eyes and half-hyp-
rotized him; the murderous grunts and
crashing of teeth and the ripping
sound of wood as his foes tore off splin-
tiers from the tree bore witness to his
danger. AS the hours dragged on the
restless, swaying movements OF his be-
siegers confused him and began to
shake his nerve. He was hungry,
thirsty and cramped. AT times he grew
dizzy, and was afraid of falling off the
limb on which he was seated. Then
he began to fear that his pillar of safety
might not prove thick enough to re-
sist the uninterrupted attack upon it.
Would the beasts never get tired and
leave him? Had anyone at home heard
his shots? Would they come in search
Of him after noticing his long absence?
Such were the questions he kept alter
rately asking himself till ne felt
half dazed. Time dragged on. but
neither did the hogs Leave him. nor did
any help arise to raise the siege.
Towards sunset Philip felt the tree
swaying and shivering under him, and
he knew that it could not Withstand the
rasping teeth of the hogs much longer.
As the darkness grew he could see the
fierce eyes CLEAN, and the vague move
ments of the herd added new terrors
to the position.
AS night deepened the gnawing grew
less fierce, and presently, from dis
lance, Philip heard the grunt of hogs
that were apparently leaving, After
that the herd slowly and regretfully
shipped away, for it was night, and a
wild hog will not hunt in the dark.
For hours Philip remained in the tree
shiyering with nervous dread. lest, when
he descended. the hogs should be sleep

hungry and worn with anxiety. After

gnawed down to three or four inches
IN thickness. If the day had been two
hours longer the hogs would have

A SHINING EXAMPLE of whs

A SHINING EXAMPLE of what
may be accomplished by never vary
ing devotion to a single purpose is
seen in the history of the Mccormick
Harvesting Machine Co., Chicago.
For 6s years they have simply been
building grain and grass-cutting ma
chinery, and while there are probably
forty manufacturers in this line, it is
safe to say that the Mccormick
Company builds one-third of all
the binders, reapers and mowers used
throughout the entire world.

FREE SILVER.

The advocates OF the free and unlimi
ted coinage of silverte tell us that the greai
trouble was brought about by the de
mobilization of silver nearly thirty years
ago. We do not believe it. The silver
in circulation was dem onitized ia 1857
and this action was followed by one o.
the most prosperous periods which thi'
government ever enjoyed.
In our opinion, the agitation of thi'
question was brought about by the
effects Of the vicious and sectional legisla
ton of period of twenty years or more
when the Congress Of the United States
and the executive offices, OF the govern
ment were in the hands of corrupt anC
dishonest officials, A robber tariff, in
tended to enrich one small class anC
impoverish the mass OF the people
extravagant pension laws which en-
couraged fraudulent pensions anC
poured into the laps OF this class OF peo-
pie nearly a hundred million year
extorted from the mass of the people,
unjust, extravagant and needless APP
preparations OF the public funds, which
were made in order to render necessary
the continuance of an eXhOrbitanI
tariff, have enriched one class OF people
while they have impoverished the other
and larger class.
This vicious legislation has been es-
pecially hard upon the people OF the
South, The profits of their labor have
been steadily withdrawn from them and
lavishly aud wantonly poured sut by
sectional and corrupt government.
Manufacturers stimulated by the bounty
of the government and greatly aided
bv improved machinery have over
stocked the market and can not find sale
for their products among the class who
have been robbed by unjust legislation.
The great bulk of the money has reach
ed the pockets of the favored few. Farm
products of all kinds have deprecated
in price while burdensome taxes have
continued. The people have become
dissatisfied. They want remedy.
Anything that promises relief will be
supported, However unreasonable may
be the scheme, the people, in masses, will
adopt it if they have the slightest idea
that it will bring relief. That the South
ern States should hastily adopt the
visionary schemes OF the widest ad-
vocates of the free and unlimited coin
age Of silver is not strange, They have
been the victims of all the vicious legsls-
ton Of vicious and sectional admins
tratiOn of the government. AS the
tyranical measures Of the most illiberal
governments drive the people into COM
munism, so have the unjust and sectional
legislation of this country forced the
masses to seek relief by an effort to de-
stroy the currency of the government.
Countries inflicted with the most
poisonous miasma have been relieved by
the death producing tOrnadOes, so this
cursed by the most unjust
and unreasonable taxation may find
relief only in a financial revolution
which will destroy the property that has
been acquired by such dishonest meas
ures.
The continued violation of natures
laws produces death. The continued
violation of the natural laws which are
inherent in good government, will, in
the end, bring about q remedy.
