Great loss annually takes place
from poor seeds. Too much care
cannot be exercised in planting only
corn which will germinate. The
position of the grain ON the ear has
very little influence upon the pro-
duct, but in the planter or drill the
grains at both ends being irregular
in size would better be kept out.
Select good perfect ears with small
cobs. Do not plant deeper than
three inches, soaking of seed is of no
practical benefit, manuring in the
hill, close to the seed, will not pay.
The average corn crop costs the
producer all items counted about
forty-four cents per bushel.

The 91s delegates to the Republi-
can National Convention are all
elected. 1t will require AGO votes to
nominate and Mr.. Mckinley is ac-
credited with having 531 or II to
spare. There will no doubt be some
changes arising from the doubtful
delegates declaring themselves and
perhaps from the withdrawal of one
or more candidates. There seems tC
be no doubt of McKinley's nomina-
ton on the first ballot, and very
likely by acclamation, for it is moi
probable that any delegate would
care to antagonize the popular and
all pervading sentiment nor would
any candidate care to have his weak
ness measured in the convention.

Some have professed to see in Mr..
McKinley's speeches and votes an
unsoundness on the money question.
1t may be well to assure those gen
tlemen that the party which he re-
presents as well as himself is
sound on the currency. But the
money question is not the only is
sue, nor in fact is it the vital one
The supreme question with the peo-
pie is that of protection to Ameri-
can industries, and they know that
stable prosperity can only come
through adequate laws to this end
They are perfectly willing to
trust the currency to the Republi-
can party and they look also to this
great party for relief from the pre-
sent inefficient and debt creating po
Icy of the Democrats. This is moi
"boss year, it is the peoples yeal
and they will have their say.

A SERMON ON IMMIGRATION.

Quite number of ministers have
talked politics from the pulpit during
this campaign, and generally the talk
has not been of a kind to encourage
respect for the pulpit. One minister,
Rev. Madison C. Peters, of New York,
last Sunday night took as his subject,
Unrestricted immigration the Real
Cause of the Laboring Mans Low
Wages His remarks were conServa-
tive and thoughtful. 81 believe" said
he, that l express the conservative
opinion of thoughtful men everywhere
when I say that we have now reached
a period when immigration is not adj
vantageous to the country or to the
immigrant. The revolution that threat
ems our republic is the legitimate re-
suit of our unrestricted immigration.
This country is compelled to solve a.
question of unemployment for Europe
as we'll as for itself. We have not as
nation done the just thing to our
la'boring men by making them compete
with the labor market of the world
There is still an abundance of room
grants, but for none others. The hard
est part of the problem is to hit upon
q method by which the desirability or
the undesirability of immigrants can
be determined The educational test
does not do it; and no satisfactory test
has been found. The general rule that
an undesirable citizen in one country
IL
tries is not always true when the test
is applied TO those who have incurred
the displeasure and hostility of vari-
Gus European governments through
political activity. But that class of
political agitators known as Anarchists
and Socialists are as undesirable in the
United States as in Europe.
Within the past twenty or twenty
five years the immigration to this
country has been enormous. 1t has
been adopted into the body polite but
has not been assimilated by it. Those
who have come eve do not mean all
by any means), have been given the
rights of citizenship without appreciat-
ing or understanding it's duties and
responsibilities. The consequence is,
and an unhappy consequence it is, too,
that the American ideal Of govern
ment as handed down by the founders
of the republic has been very greatly
modified, and modified for the worse.
Competition in work is not the worst
evil of unrestricted immigration by any
means. This question of immigration
is one that calls for wise and immedi-
ate consideration. It is a serious prob
lem. Unrestricted immigration has
gone to one extreme; there should be
no going to the other extreme in re-
stricting it.

a BETTER RATIO.

The Boston Herald of recent date dis
cusses at length the question of a
better ratio between gold and silver 1t
says that it is difficult for business men
20 comprehend the line of reasoning
with which the advocates of the free
coinage of silver defend their position.
Business men re asked, it says, for
example, to adopt a bimetallic standard
and allow both gold and silver to be
freely coined on the basis of 16 to l,
because this was the condition estab-
lished by our forefathers of revolution
airy fame after they had gained their
independence and laid the foundations
of our government AS a matter of
fact, declares the Herald, our forefath-
ers were very careful not to make any
wide departure from then existing
financial methods. The Herald then
goes on to tell how the ratio was ascer-
tanned I'M 1872 and of the various
changes in it. Then it says: But now
we are told that, in spite of the fact
that the commercial ratio of silver is
81 to 1, the action of the United States
in throwing open its mint viii be to in
stantly restore the old ratio of 16 to 1,
because that will be the basis upon
which the American people will agree
to carry on their business. *
There is nothing sacred in the ratio Of
16 to l, because. as we have shown, the
first ratio established by the govern
ment of this country was Is to l, and if
the fiat of the United States govern
ment is sufficiently powerful to give a
value to silver all the world over, why
not adopt the more convenient decimal
ratio of 10 to II"
First of all the advocates of free sill
yer do not claim all that their oppo-
nents charge that they do. Today the
commercial ratio is 81 to 1. The silver
advocates say that it is that because
of the decentralization of silver. They
do not claim that there is anything sa-
cred about the ratio of Is to l. What they
do say is that that would be the ratio
if silver were remonetized. To substan
tiate their claims they cite the fact that
the ratio was never greater than that
until silver was demonetized. The COM
mercial ratio of silver to gold without
free coinage and the commercial ratio
with it are entirely different things.

WORK OF THE DEMOCRATIC CON-
VENTION.

It will generally be conceded that the
work of the Democratic county con-
vention yesterday was well done. 1t
was most important that it should be
well done. Just what the effect of
fusion with the PopuIists will be, can
not at this time be said; the .conven-
ton, which considered the matter
thoroughly, deemed it wise, and Demo-
Gratis generally will be content to ac-
cept the conventions judgment.
The nominees are all well and favor
ably known to the community, and will
be heartily endorsed by both parties
to the fusion. They will also COM
mand the confidence of the voters. In
the nomination of the county ticket,
the selectmen and county attorney, the
convention could have done no better.
While the voters are interested in all
the offices, still they were specially
anxious concerning these, as they have
felt that their financial interests are
more at stake than any other, and that
they needed the greatest care. We have
singled these out for special mention
because they were the ones about
which most interest centered, and not
by way OF comparison. All the nom
nations are equally excellent and de-
serving of support. The delegates 90
the convention are to be congratulated
upon their work.

the same dignified bearing, the same
handsome face, the same large mo-
bile mouth, that is so well fitted to
express the varying emotions of the hui
man soul. That he is kindly and aft
Iecflonate in nature would go without
saying. His is face that women
would trust and children love- AS an
orator the Democratic candidate is an
amazing disappointm ent. His voice is
not sweet, nor flexible, neither does it
have a wide gamut. There is not a
trace OF what is commonly called mag
netism" in it. Men are moved by what
he says, not by his manner of saying
IT. The true orator is one who can
carry with him the reluctant Judgment
and feeling of opponents. 1 can not
conceive of Mr.. Bryan making a single
convert to the silver cause, although
he might confirm those who were al
ready enthusiastically upon his side.
One might question the depth of his
convictions; nobody, I think, would
question their sincerity. Everything
that is said concerning his oratory
must, of course, be modified by the re
Election that he is physically exhausted
by the tremendous labor he is attempt
ing to perform. Mr.. Bryan's intellect
is distinctly feminine in its character.
He is alert, nimble, intuitive; but he
is severely illogical, and his utterances
do not betray a tinge of the judicial
temper. Ii would seem morally impos-
sible for him to advocate a cause he
did not honestly accept, but his beliefs
are evidently the children of his emo
tons and his sympathies.
If men are moved by what Mr. Bry-
an says and not by his manner of say
ing it, it would seem that they are
swayed by his reasoning. When a
mans matter and not his manner
moves men it is because their reason
and not their emotions is appealed to.
We do not agree with this writer's
estimate of Mr. Bryan by any means
but 1T is not harsh one, nor does it
denounce him in any respect. He gives
him credit for absolute sincerity, but
he fails to give him credit for that
strength of character which he pos
sesses. 1t is plainly an error of judg-
ment and not of intention.

NOT AN INDIVIDUAL MATTER.

1t is reported that the goldbugs have
made up their minds that Senator Tel
Ter, of Colorado, shall retire at the ex-
piration of his present term This is
the penalty which they propose to in
flict on a man who had the courage
to stand up in the national convention
of his own party and denounce his as
sociates for adopting a policy which
he honestly believed would visit untold
suffering and distress upon the Amer
lean people For maintaining his con-
victions Mr.. Teller, if the goldbugs
shall have the say, is to be retired to
the walks Of private citizenship. 9th
ers who with him walked out of the
st. Louis convention are to meet the
same fate Saying is one thing, doing
is quite another. It is barely possible
that Mr. Teller may be defeated, but,
should he be, his successor would be NJ
less an ardent advocate of free coinage.
If the goldbugs think that by exiting
Senator Teller and other western sena-
tors who have refused to subscribe TO
a gold standard they can silence the
advocacy of free coinage, they are
greatly mistaken. In their places would
go men equally determined to right the
wrong of 1878, equally determined to
sacrifice partS fealty and party stand
ing rather than perpetuate a monetary
policy which is necessarily fraught with
disaster, distress and ruin. Senator
Teller and all the rest of the so-called
silver senators might be retired, but
Justice would continue to train her
heavy guns on the ramparts of the en-
envy just the same. Silver advocacy
is not an individual affair." and the
progress of free coinage is not to be ar
rested by expeling from the public
councils men who have been chosen to
champion that cause. Probably when
the goldbugs hear from the cornfields
and workshops next November they
will conclude that in taking the contract
to destroy half the current coin of the
nation they have assumed an obligation
infinitely difficult to discharge. Senator
Teller and other men in public life may
fall under the guillotine of Wall street.
but that will be the extent of the cru

to grow until upon the statute books
there shall finally be fixed a law which
will restore to silver its lost estate,
and which will provide the American
people with a currency sufficient for all

The Philadelphia Record says that
1.-THE assignment yesterday of Messrs.
Coffin, Altemus & Co., commission dry
goods merchants of this city, is a most
unfortunate and regrettable result en-
tirely due to the pinch in the money
market The firm was unable to make
use of its assets through the ordinary
medium of bank discounts of CONNER
ciai paper. The threat OF free silver
coinage has unhinged and made tenn
porarily impotent the means by which
business credits are maintained and
made available for the purposes of
merchandising and manufacturing. -
That is exactly the same kind of non
sense that the McKinleyites were talk
ing four years ago about the tariff.
Then it was the threat of unfriendly
tariff legislation; now it is the "threaee' .
of free silver coinage. 1t is simply an
old argument revamped.
