THE FUNDAMENTALS

The New York Commonwealth, publishes
the following letter in its last issue:
Dear Sir:-In view of the fact that, in
certain quarters, strenuous efforts are be-
ing made to switch the Peoples party on
to the free silver sidetrack l would sug-
gest that you publish the following (Which
I take to be the fundamental principles of
our creed), and call upon Populists to stand
firm as a rock for their emphatic express
ion in the st. Louis platform. Yours
truly, John Hossack.
Jersey City, May II, 1896.
Wealth belongs to him who creates it,
and every dollar taken from industry with
out an equivalent is robbery If any man
will not work, neither shall he eat The
interests of rural and civic labor are the
same; their enemies are Identical
1--WE believe that the powers of the gov
ernment-in other words, of the people
should be expanded, as in the case of the
postal service, as rapidly and as far as the
good sense of an intelligent people and the
teachings Of experience shall justify, to the
end that oppression, injustice and poverty
shall eventually cease in the land.''-

500 REWARD-X1OO.

The readers Of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages. and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby destroy
ing the foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by build
ing up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The propri-
etOrs have SO mach faith in its cura-
tive powers, that they offer One Humid
red Dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

The Genuine Standard
Smith Grub and
Stump Machines.

The George B. Smith Machine Co.,
Of Sedalia, Mo-, are manufacturing an
implement which will commend itself
on sight. Farmers who have labored
years in getting their farms free from
stumps and roots will readily see the
advantage of having a machine which
will easily extract such impediments
without the accompanying backaches
which the shovel and pick methods
always produced. The weight of the
machine is 300 pounds, and the,price
is $55. 90.

Dear Sirs-We herewith give you a
summary of the markets and condi-
tionS of business in general. Dizziness
prevails in almost every branch of
business.
1t is idle to look for any improve
ment until after the next election.
and then no substantial improvement
until this vexed tariff and silver and
gold controversy is settled. Oh, the
misery and loss of aUeolth, that un,rise leg
islatiOn has caused. Ten Thousand mill
ions of dollars would not cover the loss
in shrinkage Of values in the last five
years; much Of this has been caused,
no doubt, by the lack of knowledge
of what is for the best. much
of it by unscrupulous design.
ing politicians. IT the people of
this country do not arose them
selves, put honest men in office, in
stead of tricky politicians, without re-
gard to party, ace can t,aahtully say, God
help our country. 1t does not need any
Daniel to prophecy the direful results
to our beloved country if the voters
do not themselves select men for office
instead of letting the uescrupulous politi-
clans cause themselves to be nominated,
and purchase votes enough to get Of
flee. Having bribed the people to get
the off1ce, he then is open to brides
for every nefarious scheme that can
be presented; he will even invent
schemes solely to be offered brides to
drop them. Oh. awake, awake voters!
Do much thinking before next cleo
tion. Select the best men for office,
from police judge to president, then
we may expect God to do the rest,
bless and prosper his people. He will
surely not do for as the part ,Ue can do our
selueS. 157-tf

together as accurately as possible, and
retain them there with as few and as

Then cover the wound with a dozen

gauze, which should extend an inch,

the gauze, apply a liberal layer of the

to extend beyond the gauze. The

An Oregon Snake lien,

The largest r~attlesnakc, captured il.
Yamhill County. is now the worse for
its experience. The original home OF
this snake is, no doubt, in the famous
Thurber snake den. near which II was
captured. The Thurber den is on the
farm owned by A. W. Rees, in rocky
knoll covering about two acres. The
knoll is covered by q low growth Of
oak slrubbery and wild grass. The
snake home is really o rock quarry.
On the surface aro~rock5 in endless
numbers, and the regularity Of the
shape is remarkable. Nearly oil are
perfect cubes, varying in size from six
inches to two feet and more. The
~crevices between these rocks are g
natural home for the reptile family,
and it is said to be 10 uncommon
sight to see scores Of snakes summing
themselves on the rocks in the early
spring.
It is not rattIesnakes alone that
haunt this den. There are blovsnahes
and blue racers. Many ofsthe latter
have been killed in the vicinity that
have attained length Of six feet.
Then there is the stupefed snake,
which is one Of the most interesting OF
the family. This snake has II head on
each end, AMI runs either way. One
head is about one.tourth as large as
the other, 1t is of q yellowj.h color.
It generally lies i'll a loop, AMI is FREE
Guently observed running in an APP
parentIy stupeied condition on a rock
or log. There are other varieties, sucn

but the bite of one except the rattle
snake is known to be fatal. Several
sheep and some cattle have died in the
vicinity OF the den from snake bites.
