The Republican Party OF 1899.

The national platform Of the republican
party in 1892 declared:
"The REPUBLICAN PARTY is In
FAVOR of the use OF both GOLD and
SILVER as money, and CONDEMNS the
policy OF the tlate) democratic admins
tration In it's efforts to DEMONETIZE
SILVER
In the republican campaign literature
put out In favor OF the reelection OF Ben
jamin Harrison in 1892 the following in.
teresting statement concerning silver was
made:
"Grover Cleveland, who could not even
wait until he was inaugurated in 1886 be-
fore he gave SILVER BLOW, pounded
it until he and his party forced silver
down to 9l15. The day after President
Harrison was elected SILVER began to
REVIVE, and when congress met in
1889 SILVER had CLIMBED UP to
9614"
In the meantime the Sherman purchas-
ing law had been enacted by the republic
can administration and silver had gone
still higher" In view of this claim this
republican campaign document said;
"SILVER COIN has ADVANCED un-
der Harrison's administration over NINE
TY MILLIONS IN VALUE" thus dem
onstrating by their own declarations four
years ago that the coinage of over FIF.
TY- FOUR MILLION DOLLARS PER
ANNUM caused silver to rise instead Of
falling-thereby confirming the position
of the SILVER MEN OF TO-DAY in their
declaration that FREE COINAGE win
at once ADVANCE the price of SILVER
BULLION until it will meet gold at par. /"

bundle of sticks which were to be lighted
to sacrifice his own body on the noun.
tain top. Dante believes him to be Cain
carrying bundle Of tborns, the meanest
offering his lands afforded, as a present
to God. In Iceland the people claim that
they can see the face OF Adam in the
moon and that OF Eve in thesun. Among
the Frieburgers there is superstition
which says that the marks and spots on
the SUMS face are the outlines OF traitor,
Judas Iscariot, holding his hands over
his face while sneezing just prior to hang
ing himself. This last belief accords with
the old Frankish legend which says that
there was no spot on Luna's brigh. face
until after the crucifxion of Christ. Still
another story tells us that in H. lime of
the creation God threw an offending an.
gel against the face Of the moon, while
another is to the effect that the moon wit
messed the creation OF Adam and Eve
and took an impress of their features on
her surface, intending to people her own
lard with similar beings. When she
essayed to initiate Gods work, she made
nothing but serpent, which since .hat

The st. Louis Globe Democrat says that
"as the campaign progresses the lsborers
OF the country will certainly grasp the
important fact that under the free coinage
policy dollars would not be distributed by
the government like garden seeds, but
would have TO be worked for the same as
at present"
No startling truth is given to the world
in this statement. What the laborers OF
the country want is an opportunity to
work. Under the present financial sys-
tenn it is either no work or work on short
time for beegarly pittance. With our
financial system. properly adjusted there
viii be work for all and plenty to work.
Pinching poverty will have disappeared
and happiness enter the homes Of tine
masses. Every turn OF the golden crank
from the decentralization OF silver in 1873
to the repeal OF the Sherman purchasing
act has made the situation more trying
and work more difficult to secure. Labor
does not want an unearned distribution OF
dollars. What it does want is an oppor-
tunity to eat wholesome food and wear
| decent clothes gained through toll in the
| field and skill IN the shop and at the
| bench.

The methods of growing celery, like
many other things, have been greatly
simplitied during recent years. 3arie
ties have also changed. and instead Of
celery being raised. merely for eatumn
and winter use, it is now frequently met
with in the public markets as early as
July--hence can be bad nearly the entire
year. AT least two crops are taken in
one season in celery districts. Fo. early
celery seed is sovn in hot beds and set in
the open ground at the same time as 9th.
or early crops. Outdoor sowing is early
enough for getting the crop in by e>>2-
tembef, and such may be put out as soon
ss the plants are large enough. General
ly, this will not be until July st. The
same sowing should give plants to sci
out to August LIST. For late planting, the
tops Of the leaves may be sheared off, as
this induces more stocky growth, keep
ing them at the same time a good trans

peas, between each row, 80 that celery
stands three to four feet apart in the
rowe. When the first crop can be cleared
of altogether, do SO and cultivate the
land for the celery's benefit. For family
use, 100 plants will probably be enough.
It will be better infour rows, 80 that one
may be unearthed up for first use, the
next for late autumn and the other two
for winter.
To bleach celery requires two or three
weeks in hot weather and double that
in autumn. When bleached, use as soon
as possible, as it Is liable to injury II kept
long in hot weather. That intended for
late use should not be earthed up or
bleached before October, az It keeps bet
ter and partially bleaches during the WIN
ter months. Formerly this bleaching
was done entirely by banking up with
soil. Nov it is often accomplished by
boards being placed against the plants
and soil filled in about the stems even
with the tops of the boards. Anything
which keeps the plants from the light
beaches them. Some even draw them
through drain tile. In all cases the grow
Ling tops must be exposed, as through
them the plants increase in size while be-

besides the music and exhibits. Every
night something special will be given for
the amusement OF visitors. Frequent ex-

rates will be given at other times on all
