Both as a purchaser of materials
and supplies and rs IN employer the
church has important relations to
business. 1t is manifest, therefore,
that the financial affairs of the
church must be on a large scale
when all it's interests are considered.
It takes SO, 1855, 900 annually to pay
the bills of the Protestant Episcopal
church, 1923, S63, 900 to pay those of
the Methodist Episcopal church,
nearly $14, GOO, 900 for the expenses
and contributions of the Presbyte-
rian church (northern), s11, G73, 900
for those of the regular Baptists and
$40, 355, 900 for those of the Congre
gational denomination, making an
aggregate of $SS, 600, 900 every year
contributed by 10, 76S, COO members
AN average of IS. 16 per member.
The grand total for all denomina.
lions could hardly be less than $780,
900, 600, and it might be many mil
lions larger. Most of this is made
up of voluntary contributions. The
value OF church buildings, lots and
furniture il 1890 was about $780,
900, 600. 1t is quite probable that it
is now fully $500, 600, OOO.-Forum.

Not Enough Gold n snvcr.

Never in the history of the world has
there beer a sufficient supply of these
two metals 20 maintain and SUPPORT
prices. In all ages, and at the present
time, some nations have not been able
to procure Il sufficiency of either of these
two metals. They have been compelled
to resort to the devices of paper issues
and other forms of money; and all of
them today are compelled to resort to
substitutes to q greater or less degree
for h precious metals; hence it is not
within the power of the legislature to
initiate gold and silver money undulv.
unless by debasing the coins. Nor is il
within the power or the rightful power
of congress by Legislation to contract
the volume of money as supplied by
these two metals. This can be done
only by the wrongful %usurpation Of
power to dcmonetize one or the other of
them.
The coming battle-the battle of the.
standard-in all probability will be ono
of the most momentous in our history.
That ultimately the people will restore
silver to its ancient place in our none
tary system there can be no doubt. nm
less we doubt the intelligence and pa
trlotism of our people, unless we doubt
the perpetuity of our free institutions

Silver Men Who Didn't Bolt,

The money question will be the great
issue in the campaign. l am aware that
the managers of the st. Louis V
ton and the newspaper organs of the
gold standard party claim that it will
be overshadowed by the tariff. but the
people will rule differently. The effect
Of the bolt, too, from the st. Louis con-
vention will be greater than they are
willing to admit. In my opinion the
majority of tae delegates in the St.
Louis convention were opposed to the
single gold standard. / do not mean to
say that they favored the free coinage
Of silver, as we who left the hall de
manded, but they are not satisfied with
the money plank. They know it will
drive hundreds of thousands Of good
Republicans out of the party this year,
and in states where the votes are need
ed. A number Of the eastern and mid
die western delegates confessed to me
that they would have gone with US but
for their instructions. Party fealty is
all that kept them in line. Their con-
sciences told them they did wrong in
voting for the single gold standard

SurrenderinE to Wall Street.

The dishonest money platform adopt
ed by the majority of the Republican
national convention tells a woeful story
for William Mckinley. The selfish adj
vocates of the single gold standard have
long been insulting the people of the
United States with their audacious
claims of being advocates of "sounl
money, when, in fact, they have been
merely specializing i'll the vitality of the
government. False pretense is the chief
accomplishment Of some of these lead
ers. When they robbed the country in
the collection of war taxes in time of
peace and the prostitution of the taxing
power to private gain, they did it under
the speclous name of protection to
American industries. The process Of
giving wealth to men who do not work
and making the poor more miserable
they call the promotion of "honest mon
ey."
1t is due to William Mckinley and
M. A. Hanna to say that they were
anxious not to be chained to the single
standard dishonesty. Their course, how
ever, never had the full panoply of man
hood. They deliberately set out to strad-
die the most important question of the
day, to represent, as far as they might,
the prevailing silver sentiment of the
central and western states without Civ
ing offense to the gold cormorants of
Wall street. They have been knocked
from their paradoxical position. They
have been commanded to stand on a
spectators platform, and they obey.
The whole Hanna cabinet, hoping for
Office, will fall down and worship the
golden calf. They will have to.-Cin-

Daniel Webster defended the double
standard and said: "1he legal tender,
the constitutional standard of value, is
established and cannot be overthrown.
I am certainly of opinion that gold and
silver, at rates fixed by congress, con-
stitute the legal standard of value in
this country, and hat neither congress
nor any state has authority to establish
any other standard or to displace this.

A Gang of Repudiationists.

There is a cheap john medical house in
Elkhart, Indiana, from which we often
get propositions to boost their nostrums
and take Il pay in pills. AS we seldom
need to take pills, and never advertise
quack doctors or patent medicines, their
business at this shop will always amount
to 0. But the doctors joint at Elkhart
is slightly out of joint this week, and
they send us the following goldbug adj

HERE AND THERE.

There is nothing better than milk
and ground oats to put kinks in pigs
tail.
The most thriving farming COM
munities in this or any other country
are tn ose where stock raising is regu-
larly followed; and the most dilapi-
dated farming communities are to be
found where live stock, except for ac-
tual farm service, is entirely neglect
ed.
Z Nothing will spoil COW, or cows,
quicker than a man with a bad temper
one that has the smell of birthstone
and the aroma of chile-con-carne on
his breath. There is as much room for
improvement in our dairymen or farm
ers, when they keep cows, as in the
breed of cows.
The greatest improvement that can
be made in chickens is by careful
selection and breeding from those
specimens which possess the qualities
desired. We hold, in the interest of
utility, that the best fowls of all are
those which possess the best table and
laying qualities.
-zone advantage the poultry-keeper
has over the keeper of animals for
profit is, fowls are omnivorous-eat
everything, excelling even swine in
this. This fact should teach everyone
that constant feeding of one grain or
one vegetable or one substance will
not produce the best results.
"A field is as poor as its most
deficient fertilizing principle. A plant.
like an animal. demands balanced
| ration. In order to secure the most
economic method of fertilizing, the
peculiarities of each field must be
carefully studied and its particular
deficiency in plant food determined.
When cattle are low. as at present,
! is a good time to run the farm or ranch
in such a manner that when prices &c
up again you will not wish you hadn't
etc. When men get disguised, and per.
nit their stock to run down, some
times make the air a dark-blue when
they find out their error.

Peter was ouch bit of lad that ne
could scarcely reach the crossbar OF the

whether he was tall or short, but. ne
always wished he was two reef talier

Until the policeman in gray uniform
put stop to the fun the boys on the
north side of Chicago found great
deal Of sport in racing down the long
walk on their bicycles. To be sure, they
had to dodge scores Of baby carriages
and nurses, but this only gave zest to the
pleasure.
Peter owned tricycle.. It was one OF
those cheap machines without rubber
tires or springs and was timed all over
to give good appearance. But Peters
sturdy little legs could make the tricy-

though he never won he always raced

fine, would put Tom, the little brother

BOOK FARMING.


The Prejudice a Against Scientific Methods
Is Misplaced.
There is a good deal of pre- judice
among the agricultural classes against
what is termed book farming" This
is all wrong-it is true that some men
write well and talk fuently upon
agricultural topics, and yet are a fail
ure practically-book men are not al
ways practical; their fondness for
reading often consumes too much of
their time to attend to the details and
make a success, yet their suggestions,
their advice is good.
We have made it rule to learn
from every and all sources, and have
often obtained good, practical ideas
from very humble individuals, from
which have been greatly benefited.
