An Electric Farm.

Experiments in growing vegetables
by electricity have been conducted at
several experiment stations, but the
first man to carry out the idea practl-
cally is Thomas Fleming, ofToms Riv-
er, N. J. He owns fifty acres on eth
er side of stream flowing into the
river. Being both a practical garden
er and electrician, after reading of the
rather expensive experiments of Raw
son, of Arlington, Mass, he damned
the stream and put in three turbine
wheels at different points. The power
thus generated was made electrical
in small power house, whence nova
bic cables ran to the greenhouse and
other points on the farm. Electric
motors were attached to the cables and
electric ploughs imported from Vienna
each cutting six burrows at time.
Ground wires and overhead wires run
in all directions. Rakers, harrows,
mowers, and reapers are all worked by
motors, and horses are dispensed with.
Seed is sown and fertilizers spread IN
the same way. Weeds are killed by
dragging a wire netting heavily
charged over field or between rows
of plants. Buildings are, of course,
lighted by electricity, and the big
greenhouse is kept bright night and
day.
Electricity is applied to plants in
two ways-through the soilby means
of wires buried about two inches, and
by powerful arc lights which act like
strong sunlight, being softened by am
Der globes. Under the continuous
action, radishes, lettuce spinach, etc. ,
are matured in half the usual time.
Radishes seventeen inches long and
five and half inches thick have been
grown. Flowers thus raised were at
first injured in their blossoms, their
color fading in common light but after
reduction and softening of the electric
light this was overcome in measure.
The flowers are double the usual size
and brilliancy of color, but do not re-
tain their beauty in daylight as long
as common flowers. For evening use
they are all right.
The entire farm is also lighted up
at night. As soon as the seed is sown,
the electric current is turned on the
underground wires, termination start
ed and stimulation continued until
the crop is harvested. By careful
experiment the increase of production
is fifty per cent above common meth
dds. Heads Of wheat and corn are
larger, the straw coarser and kernels
heavier than any raised in Western
fields. Cabbage two feet in diameter,
lettuce three feet tall and two across
the head, egg plants weighing six
pounds, and other products.
The first cost Of the plant, including
farm machinery, wire and cables, was
$25, 1000, but the daily running costs
less than the board of four horses. A
market garden near Norfolk, Va,
costing this amount, with returns of
$4,000 to $4,000 has an operating
expense of $4,000. Mr.. Jennings
expenses, including seed, labor and
manure, are under $4,000. Under this
system much less fertilizer is needed,
electricity assisting the plants to as
simulate the nitrogen Of the atmos-
phere and to take up certain mineral
salts from the earth. The motor wag-
ons have wide tires, and narrow hard
roads run across the fields, for the use
Of the wagons or bicycles Boston Id
vertiSer.

qualities, aud then open the minis to Its
Unrestricted coinage, leaving the pur-
chasing power Of the dollar to be deter
mined by the number of dollars. 34
Bimctallism is better than monometal-
ism, not because it gives us a perfect
lollar-that is, dollar absolutely uvary-
ing in it's general purchasing power-but
because it make nearer approach to
stability, to honesty, to justice, than a
gold standard possibly can.
Prior to 1873, when there were enough
open minis to permit all the gold and sill
yer available for coinage to find entrance
into the worlds volume of standard
money, the United. States might have
maintained gold STANDARD with less in
Jury to the people Of this country; but
now, when each step toward universal
gold standard enhances the purchasing
power of gold, depresses prices and trans
fcrs to the pockets of the creditor class an
unearned increment, the influence OF this
great nation must be thrown upon the
side of gold unless we are prepared to &C
cept the natural and legitimate conse-
quences Of such an act. 49,
Any legislation which lessons the
worlds stock of standard money increas-
es the exchangable value of tfe dollar;
therefore, the crusade against silver must
inevitably raise the purchasing power of
money and lower the money value OF all
other forms of property. .,

TEST OF HONEST MONEY.

It VIII BE Found in the Pun chasing
Power Of the Dollar.
What 10 the test of honesty In money!
It must certainly be found in the pur-
chasing power Of the dollar. An abso-
lutely honest dollar would not vary in its
general purchasing power; it would be
absolutely stable when measured by aver
age prices. A dollar which increases in
purchasing power is just as dishonest as q
dollar which decreases in purchasing
power
Professor Laughlin, now of the Univer-
sity of Chicago and one Of the highest
gold standard authorities, in his work on
bimetallism not only admits that gold
does not remain absolutely stable in value,
but expressly asserts "that there is no
such thing as a standard of value for fu-
ture payments, either in gold or silver,
which remains absolutely invariable."
He even suggests that multiple stand
ard, wherein the unit Is Chased upon the
selling prices Of number of articles of
general consumption, would be a more
just standard than either gold or silver, or
both, because "a long time contract would
thereby be paid at its maturity by the
same purchasing power as was given tn
the beginning"
Bimetsllism Better Than Monometsllism.
It cannot be successfully claimed that
monometallism or bimetallism, or any
other system, gives an absolutely just
standard of value. Under both mono
metallism and bimetallism the govern
ment fixes the weight and the fneness Of
the dollar, invests it with legal tender

the liability. That Is to say, while the
bank owes large amount of money to its
depositors, it not only has enough on hand
in money and notes to pay it's depositors,
but il addition thereto has enough to
cover it's capital and surplus. when tho
dollar is rising in value slowly, a bank
may, by making short time loans and tax
ing good security, avoid loss; but when
prices are falling rapidly, tho bank is apt
to lose more because Of bad debts than 1t
oan gain by the increase in the purchasing
power of it's capital and surplus.
1t must be admitted, however, that some
bankers combine the business Of q bond
broker with the ordinary banking bust
ness, and these may make enough in the
negotiation Of loans to osffct the losses
arising in legitimate banking business.
1t Is not strange jhek those who have
made profit by furnishing gold to the
government in the hour Of it's extremity,
favor a financial policy which will keep
the government dependent upon them.
believe, however, that speak the senti-
ment Of the vast majority Of the people OF
of the United States when 1 say that
wise financial policy administered in BE-
half of all the people would make our
government Independent Of any combina-
ton of f1nanciers, foreign or domestic.

FREE COINAGE OF SILVER.

Chicago Platform Presents an Emphatic
Demand for Its Restoration.
As against the maintenance of q gold
standard, either permanently or until
other nations can be united for its over
throw, the Chicago platform presents q
clear and emphatic demand for the imme-
date restoration of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver and gold at the present
legal ratio of 16 to / without waiting for
the aid or consent Of any other nation. We
are not asking that new experiment be
tried; we are insisting upon q return to
q financial policy approved by the expert
enoe of history and supported by all the
prominent statesmen of our nation from
the days of the first president down to
1873. When We ask that our mines be
opened to the free and unlimited coinage
Of silver into full legal tender money, We
are simply asking that the same mint
privileges be accorded to silver that are
accorded to gold. When we ask that this
coinage be at q ratio Of IS to l we simply
ask that our gold coins and the standard
silver dollar-whieh, be 1t remembered,

WOULD HELP THE PEOPLE.

Says the Benefit to Mine Owners Would
Be Comparatively Small.
, If it is asserted by our opponents that
the free coinage of silver is intended only
for the benefit of mine owners, it must be
remembered that free coinage cannot re.
store to the mine owners any more than
characterization took away, and it must
also be remembered that the loss which
the demonstration of silver has brought
to the mine owners is insignificant COM
pared to the loss which this policy has
brought to the rest of the people. The
restoration of silver will bring to the PEG.
pie generally many times as much advan.
tage as the mine owners can obtain from
it. While it is not the purpose of free
coinage to especially aid any particular
class, yet those who believe that the res
toration of silver is needed by the whole
people should not be deferred because an
incidental benefit will come to the mine
owner.
There are some who while admitting
the benefits of bimetallism, object to coin.
age at the present ratio. If any are de.
ceived by this objection, they ought to re-
member that there are no bimetallists
who are earnestly endeavoring to secure it
at any other ratio than Is to l. We are
opposed to any change in the ratio for two
reasons: First, because change would
produce great injustice, and, second, be.
cause q change in the ratio is not neces.
.sary. A change would pre- dute injustice
because If effected in the manner usually
suggested, it would result i:,.n enormous

Is there any disloyalty In that plcdgey
For 100 years the supreme court Of the
United States has sustained the principle
which underlics the income tax. Some ~
gears ago this same court sustained,
without dissenting voice, an Income tax
law almost identical with the one over
thrown. Has not future court as muoh
right to return to the judicial precedents
Of q century as tho present court had to
depart from them? When courts allow
rchearings they admit that error Is posi-
BILE; the late decision against tho income
tax was rendered by a majority of one
after rchearing. While the money ques-
zion ovcrshadows all other questions Of
importance desire it distinctly under
stood that shall offer no apology for the
iVcome tax plank of the Chicago platform.
The last income tax law sought to ap-
portion the burdens Of government more
equitably among those who enjoy the
protection of the government.
At present the expenses Of the federal
government, collected through internal
revenue taxes and import duties, arc es-
pecially burdensome upon the poor classes
Of society.
A law which collects from some citizens
more than their share of the taxes and
collects from other citizens less than their
share is simply an indirect means of
transferring one mans property to an
