ENOUGH OF THIS.

Some of these disreputable Demo-
Gratis are proclaiming that if the Pop
ulists refuse to endorse Bryan at Chi
cago they will prove themselves to
be dish onest in their advocacy of sill
yer. Well! We have heard of and
read about that tired feeling" for
some years past, but we never had the
feeling till we heard this expression
from some dwelling, Democratic fools
Just let your imagination get TO
work a minute. 1t will require a big
Imagine" to take in the contemplate
absurdity of such an utterance. A
Democrat who makes it to a Populist
deserves spit in the face. The Pop
ulists have brought this financial is
sue to the front in spite of the strongest
opposition Democrats could make to
it. The Populists carried it forward
through storm of SANDER, abuse and
lying from Democrats that has never
been equalled on earth.
Democrats found it was going to
win, and then the inexpressibly con-
temptible gang steals the platform on
which the Populists stood through the
fight, and after that the thieves perk
up and talk about honesty to Populists
The only genuine way for the Popu-
lists to continue to emphasize their
honesty is to declare that it has nc
confidence jim and cannot endorse
thieves.
Democrats would have put Ransom
back in the Senate two years ago if il
could have done so. They W ould sup
port goldbug to-day if one had beer
nominated. In fact it has nominated
a northern bank president and rail
road president for yice-President ant
none but fool will endorse him as
genuine silver man.
If it should happen that the Popu
list convention at st. Louis endorse
the Democratic ticket, that endorse
ment will probably be accompanied
with a distinct declaration tina,
no confidence is reposed in tn,
party. but the action is take1
to make that party successful one NOR
time, and to finally prove to all men
even to idiots and fools that the Dem
ocratic party is always traitor and
liar. If the party is made to be sue

A GREAT BLUNDER.

The National Democratic conven-
ton made most miserable and in
excusab BILE blunder. Of course !!
Whenever did Democratic conven-
ton do otherwise Take the history
of the party; study it, and it will be-
come clear that it has uniformly
and perslstently done the wrong
thing and the foolish thing. It's last
effort proves no exception to the
rule.
The Democratic convention first
had to deal with a grave problem
within itself, viz: Whether it should
declare for or against the free coin
age Of silver. After some arbitrary
political tactics it stood forth as a
CONVENTION, twO-thirds of whose
numbers could be counted as favor
ing that issue, and who could nomi.
nate a candidate for the Presidency.
But the convention then represented
/ a hopelessly disrupted party-s par.
ty whose power for good was woe
fully decreased, but whose power
for evil was not in the least dimin.
ished.
In this condition the convention
faced the most important and mos
momentous issue that has come be-
fore the American people in a gen
eration-an issue which had recent
ly destroyed the unity of two othe,
political organizations, and whicl
was moving on to face yet anothe
great assembly of representatives o
the people at St. Louis on July OBJ
In convention Of people capabl
of anything like cool and lntelligen
deliberation, such a condition a
this must necessarily have inspires
calm consideration and seriou
thought. Failure to do this in an as
sembly of sane men would have bee
objectionable under any circum
stances, but the convention becam
guilty of absolute crime when it re
fused to consider overtures an
propositions from sympatheti
, forces looking to the almost eel
tainty of achieving a great victor
and the righting of great wrong.

As to contest between Republicans
and Democrats, and according To the
Of the Money Power which
these old parties, the year isSs Is not
Democratic year. IL was just after
the war when the Money Power ar
ranged its programme. IL first Ar
ranged and inaugurated . financial
system which, il was intended, should
have the fostering care and protection
OF the government. 1t was = grand
scheme OF robbery and piracy intend
ed TO subject the workers and wealth
producers to the spoliation Of few
sharpers and gamblers. The success
Of that scheme rs most eloquently and
emphatically illustrated by the condi-
lions Of to-day.
The Money Power was sagacious
enough 30 know that they could not
keep their scheme concealed il one
faction Of the people should win cleo
tions continuously, So they took ad-
vantage oi the rsncor and xnimosities
engendered by the war, and arranged
a part of the programme SO that Re-
publicans and Democrats should win
elections alternately, and that they
should fight each other on some issue
like sectiOnalism, tariff, bloody shirt,
niger and the like. But in the mean
time the scheme of robbery was to be
kept in the dark.
Some assinine Democratic IgnO-
ramus will say that The CAUCASIAN is
simply twaddling here and is dealing
in inventions. Well, if he thinks SO,
let him refer to book written by
Henry Clews, Wall street banker
and Spectator, and who is now the
leading adviser of the banking gang.
The title of the book is We think
"Twenty Years Ia Wall Street" 1t
shows how the Wall street cu,-rie first
went into politics for the purpose OF
controlling legislation in the interest
of the Money Power.
Their scheme has been wonderfully
| successful. They first went into the
campaign of 1872 and secured the
election of Grant, Republican. The
next election was 1876, and these same
forces backed up Tilden, Democrat, in
quiet but effective way, and he was
elected. But after his election, the
Money Power grew uneasy at some Of
his independent ut'erances, and thu
same forces which secured his election
then conuived To have him unseated

THIS TELLS THE STORY.


cago, under date July 3rd.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 3.-The gold
standard leaders are here. That
means the fight is on.
Ex-Governor Roswell P. Flower
was the first to arrive and he did not
wait to get the stain of travel from
his person before he had launched
into the fight. The first place he
tackled was the West Virginia head
quarters, where he met delegate
Chiffon. He had a very animated
conference with him and when he
had finished he said to the Associat-
ed Press representative: 81 had an
idea about the spread of this silver
failacy and now | have confirmed
it. These West Virginia people ad-
NIT that they are not particularly in
favor Of this silver business, but
they have some other end to attain.
In West Virginia, the Democratic
party has been losing votes to the
Populists each year. They believe
that they can recover this vote by
going for free silver. The situation
is the same all through the country"
This tells the whole story. 1t is
another piece Of direct convincing
testimony to prove what Senator
Butler said in his speech in Will
Wilmington recently. and what The
CAUCASIAN has frequently said since
the silver convention at Raleigh last
September. 1t shows why these
Southern machine politicians, who
have sacrificed the cause of silver
and financial reform for twenty
years, who have deliberately betray-
ed the people into the hands of the
goldbugs, are now yelling so loud
and so vigorously for silver. They
are frightened at the rapid growth
of the Peoples Party. They see
that they cannot fool the people any
longer about the real issue. Yet
these machine politicians are now
yelling for silver in order to try to
save their political machines, and
to keep themselves in Office. If by
this means they can kill the Peoples
Party, then they will again after
this campaign go into co-partner,
ship with the eastern goldbugs and
betray the people for party spoils.
None know better than the Wal
street goldbugs how basely the
Southern politicians have betrayed
the welfare and prosperity Of the
people in the past, aud none have 8
better right at this time to expires:
their supreme disgust at the by
pocrisy of these leaders when they
now declare so loudly for silver ant
the people. Governor Flower tell

CURIOSZrIES OF DEMOCRACY

The euriosities of Democracy have
for some years been a marvel to us.
For instance, Samuel r. Randall
was high prctecti"rist aud was a
Democrat when the party was called
a free trade party. Then Cleve-
land Is goldbug when the party
swore it was for free silver four
years ago. Then there are the va
rious kinds CT Democrats which we
have mentioned-all cuciosities.

Shredded Corn Fodder for Poultry.

In recent issue you have an eX-
tract from a bulletin of the Indiana
Experiment Station on shredded
corn fodder for horses, cattle and
sheep; but, like most farmers, it
leaves out the old hen. Few farmers
have noticed how fond hens are of
the filth. of cornstalks. keep a cou-
pie of COWS and about 60 hens There
is a vacant lot next to me that l have
fenced off for the COWS to exercise
in during fair days in the winter,
and usually feed a couple of loads of
stalks on it which leaves the coarse
stalks on part of the ground a foot
deep in the spring. By the first of
August they are all gone and now
you would not suspect that any
stalks had been fed on the lot. AS
long as they last the hens are at
work on them all the time picking
out the pith of the bruised, moist
stalks and care very little for grass as
long as the stalks last. [ think this
will be a new idea to most farmers.
It seems to me that shredded fodder
would be excellent for poultry

pensive, considering the service they
perform. A good Pekin, Aylesbury,
Brazilian or Rouen duck will show
excellent results from the manage
ment given, and will yield a profit
far beyond anything that can be de-
rived from the common duck. A
mess of cooked turnips or potatoes
makes an excellent meal for them.
Grass chopped fine and sprinkled
with meal, is another cheap food. If
they have a pasture, they will seek
their own food, requiring only
little grain at night. In winter,
chopped, scalded hay is excellent for
them. When laying they should be
given an allowance of chopped fresh
meat three times a week. Soft food
is preferred by them to whole grains.
Though am aquatic bird, the duck
loves dry place at night, and should
sleep on board floor.-Ex.

White Guinea Fowls.

There are two varieties of guinea
fowl, the white and the pearl. I'm
til quite recently it was usual to see
only the pearl, which was kept upon
farms, mainly as curiosities, as they
were wild, shy and their flesh dark
colored and Indifferent in quality.
The white guinea has been rapidly
driving it's speckled cousin out of the
field.
The whites have several points of
real superiority. They are not wild,
but delight to associate with other
poultry, laying in the nests of hens.
They are homogeneous by nature,
preferring but one mate, and cling
ing to that one with great tenacity.
At quite an early age they refuse to
be separated from the hen that
Matched them, following her about
all that season, and until they them
selves choose mates the next season.
White guineas are fine table FOWLS
possessing all the requirements in
the way of yellow skin, delicate and
fne-grained flesh. They do not be-
gin laying until the weather is quite
warm, but they keep it up until late,
and their eggs are very welcome
while common fowls are INDUCING
in their annual moult. Guinea eggs
are medium sized, with very hard
shell and of an excellent flavor.
Guineas are great foragers for in
sects, and as they do not scratch,
they may be allowed to roam at will;
and if they are usually active and in
defatigable it is impossible to esti-
mate the number of insect pests they
will destroy. They are worth their
food for this alone, as they are not
large consumers of grain. They are
quick to detect any invading foe,
such as hawks, skunks, weasels, and
the like, and will also sound their Pc
culiar note of warning.-Southern

About Feathers.

Farmers who possess waterways in
the form of small lakes, creeks,
ponds and branches, often neglect
the opportunity that they have to in
crease the income of their farms by
stocking up to some extent with
ducks and geese.
The raising of feathers is too gen
orally overlooked, where such nat
ural advantages exist.
When the country was first ex-
plored and settled up the water
courses were found stocked with
wild water fowl, specially in the fall
and winter. They have disappeared
before the advance Of civilization.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-11-18
resources

We still have the water resources
and have domestic ducks and geese,
and yet, the very men and sons of
the men who formerly would spend
a whole day hunting wild ducks and
geese, and who enjoyed one when
killed and baked, now pass the lakes
and creeks without a thought of
their former inhabitants.
The feathers from the wild fowl
when captured were carefully saved,
and either made into nice beds and
pillows, or sold at good price.
The market for feathers is still &C
tive, and the price is good, and there
is no earthly reason why there should
not be ten tame ducks and geese
raised today where one wild one was
found twenty years ago.
There is the Pekin duck, a fine
large, purely white duck with yellow
legs and beak, really beautiful
specimen of the water fowl, and one
that yields a great lot of it's soft, and
pretty feathers at each picking.
These ducks should be raised wher-
ever there is source of water. They
can also be raised where there is no
large stream or lake, as they thrive
nearly as we'll without it.
There is money in Pekin ducks
They are prolific layers, hardy and
rapid growers.
There are several other varieties of
domestic ducks, such as the Rouen,
Aylesbury (the great English duck),
and the Cayuga-the latter very
much like the wild mallard species.
In tame geese we have several va
rieties, the Embden, Toulouse, White
China and the common old grey
goose, all productive of an abund-
ance of feathers, and all large and
hardy.
1t is just as easy to grow feathers
in and about our waterways as to
grow weeds and reeds, and in these
hard times we should advise the
farmers to pay more attention to wa
terfowl and thereby add another
source of profit to the farm.-H. B.
Geer in Farm, Field and Fireside.

Ducks for Profit

A duck should lay one hundred and
twenty eggs year if of a good
breed, and in March and April the
eggs sell for twice as much as hens
eggs. If we take the weight of the
eggs in consideration, the duck lays
as much in a year as the hen does
in two years. AS ducks make rapid
growth and lay large eggs, early
and often" they are, as a conse-
ouence, very voracious, and require
a large amount of food, but as they
will eat anything that is eatable, and
prefer bulky food, they are not ex-

.Roup.

R0up.
Roup is the disease which destroys
more focks than any other, but roup
is a term which really has no signifi-
canoe, as it is about on par with
Sickness simply indicating that
the bird is not well. 1t is usually ap-
piled to all cases in which there are
affections of the nasal passage, bron-
chial tubes, etc. A great many per-
sons whose fowls die from roup at
tribute the cause to cholera, owing
to their inability to diagnose the sew
eral diseases. There are two forms
of so-called roup, however, which are
very contagious, and from them the
use of the term roup comes. The
first is diphtheria (known as ''can-
ker" roup) and it spreads rapidly,
owing to the entire flock drinking
from the same vessels and eating
from the same source. The other is
the well-known scrofula, which is
manifested by sores, great Jumps on
the face, or even carbuncles, The
hoarse breathing and frequent suffo
cation of birds is due to catarrh or
Group, showing all the symptoms
thereof. Consumption isa very COM
mon disease, and it soon spreads, as
the germs are deposited over the
runs, thus rendering every fowl liza
BILE. 1t may exist for few weeks or
last for several months. The birds
gradually waste away, dying off one
by one until all are gone. Consump-
ton of the bowels mostly occurs
with very young chicks, and it
sweeps them away rapidly. The
use of remedies is of but little avail
for it is impossible to treat such dis
eases in the food (many birds hav-
ing no appetite), and it is also dam
gerous and useless to give medicines
by hand, to say nothing Of the labor
of so doing. All such remedies as
kerosene in the food, copperas in the
drinking water, etc, are about as eff
icacious for fowls as for humans. In
fact, it is just as difficult to cure the
consumption in a fowl as in a man,
which should prompt every one who
finds any contagious disease in his
flock to resort to heroic remedies at
once and destroy all of the birds.
This may be a sacrifice but it is be-
ter to sacrifice them than to incur
the risk of loss of the life of some
member of the family. The bodies
of the birds should be burnt or deep
ly buried, and unless every square
inch of space formerly occupied by
the birds is disinfected (not only
once but several times), it will be a
risk to procure new birds, as the
germs of the disease will be left, and
the disease will appear again
