saved UP a few million ounces Of bull
lion would dump a lot of it here, and
wouldn't it debsse our currency and

This is one of the fallacies of gold
standard advocates. If opening the
mints to unlimited coinage were to
make silver 80 cheap, foreign silver
would be sure not to come, no matter
how big the surplus, for it would not
pay; and if silver was worth 81 % an
ounce, the silver in a silver dollar
would then be equal in value to the
gold in a gold dollar, and the currency
could not, therefore, be debased. In
other words, it cannot be true that for
eign silver would be dumped on us,
and also true that opening the minis
would make so cent dollars. One or
the other assumption is false. journal

Let us beware to form a silver party

there; the issue upon which the civil
lied world hangs to day is whether the
people, their government and the ma
ton shall rule and use the national

noble one. If there is a God of justice
who @ and understands the affairs

who makes the wealth of men to praise
him, our case must succeed. We must
be one-from the mountains to the
seashore and from the Lakes to the
Cub mexico. We must not listen to
the siren song of any ''isms'; we must
not stop short of any national legisla-
ton embodying therein measures that
will take the life out of legalized, pri-
vate and public usury, and that has
been the death of the nations civiliza

country, with all her wealth and I'M
unbounded prosperity, become, by her
own voluntary act, a mere financial de
tendency of Great Britain, which &C
complishes by the mere strategy of
her fnanciers that which she was I'm
able to do a hundred years ago with
arms when the country was poor and
didn't have one twentieth the popula-
ton she now has. England has no de-
tendency that pays here as much
tribute as she annually squeezes out of
the American people with her money
system, which her fnanciers, with their
CO laborers, fastened upon her twenty
two years ago. Then We adopted
England's gold standard, when silver
was one of our lawful monies, thus
practically doubling u debt and at
the same time practically diminishing
one half our means of paying it.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
If you will permit me to write you
from this quiet little burgh here in
Eastern Carolina, a place and village
that has always had very difficult &C
cess to the centeIs of population and
commercial pursuits, but 1 am truly
gratified in being able to state that
Yeatesville, a place of much fame,
honor and title, and for his namesake
ex- Congressman Jessie j. Yeates, of
Hartford county, in 1874, and since
those youthful days of D Democracy have
elapsed, u town has been well known
throughout this State and represented
by some of our leading mercantile men
of the north. Yeatesville, like other
of our sister towns, has been cut off
from all railroad communication, but
has many real natural advantages that
will excel your town in the west.
First, we have the greatest shipping
points by marine with foreign ports
and could compete with Wilmington
and Fayetteville, N. c., or Charleston,
8. c., and Savannah, Ca, provided
we had the population here to engage
in agriculture. We have two railroads
near us, viz Norfolk & Southern and
Atlantic Coast Line. The eastern di-
vision of this road terminates at
Washington, N. O., and lis western
division at Tarboro, N. G., connecting
with the Norfolk & Carolina road.

they are now to gold.

rience of 81 years is hard to offset by a
bare assumption.
but conditions have changed since
then; the production of silver is much
greater now than in 1878"
Yes, the silver production of the
United States has doubled since then.
but our population has also doubled, so
that relative conditions have not
changed.
But the increase of production of
silver in other countries has been
greater"
The worlds output of silver is a lit
tie over double what it was in 1873, but
the combined output of silver and gold
in the world has not kept pace with
the increase in population.
But silver is now worth less than
20 cents an ounce, and if our mints
were opened at the ratio of Is to /. it
would be worth 81 80. China, for in.

POULTRY YARD
FAILURES AND THEIR CAUSE.


It is a strange fact that farmers know
less in regard to the management OF
poultry than should be the case, and
the reason is that while they have
given their attention to other farm
stock, they have not looked as deeply
into those matters that pertain to poul-
try as a business. The raising of poul
try has not been considered a business
at all, but simply an adjunct or a pas
time, the consequence being that while
the farmer gives his attention to
larger stock and learns daily how to
manage with greater success, he hes
allowed his hens to manage themselves.
The sick horse or COW is a source OF
anxiety to the farmer, because he has
in the animal perhaps a hundred or
more dollars invested, and veterinary
skill or the experience of the farmer
will be used to its fullest capacity In
order to avoid loss. Infectious diseases
are guarded against, and due precau-
ton is taken against loss.
Farmers are learning that there Is a
profit to be derived from the small
things on the farm, and that the CAPT
tai invested in poultry, though not
usually great, is IRE to bring in a re
turn, and they are turning their atten
ton in that direction, having the ad-
vantage of ready sales at all seasons
and home markets but the long neglect
of q places them at disadvantage,
as they find that while they are familiar
with the details of farm management
and the care of animals, they are lack
ing in the knowledge so essential to
SUCCESS with poultry, especially when
they desire to venture on the keeping
of poultry in large numbers. Without
N real experience in that direction,
though accustomed to having hens in
the barnyards from boyhood, they
make many failures that might other
wise be avoided with the possession of
knowledge in the matter of poultry
raising.
Failures occur from attempting too
much without experience. There are
essential details necessary that can Only
be properly performed by those who
are experienced, and the first steps
should therefore be gradual. The
farmer should learn something Of the
breeds and their uses. He should know
the breeds that will suit his climate
best. The best laying breeds may prove
a miserable failure unless it is SUI
rounded by conditions for success. 1t
is difficult to teach the farmer that the
common barnyard stock is not as good
as any other. That stumbling block
he will not remove, and it is dangerous,
for as long as the farmer clings to old
traditions and adheres to former u
toms, he will fail to recognize the i'm
portance of improvement in other di-
rections. Better houses, better breeds,
systematic feeding, cleanliness and
careful selection of breeding stock are
essential, and if neglected results in
failure. -Poultry Keeper.
