A HOPEFUL VIEW.
Conimisslonsr .vincenhclier Talks About
the Drouth.

WV Dst."-s
Commissioner W. G. Vincenheller, OF
the state agricultural bureau, is max
ing a tour of the state collecting arti-
cles for use in the Arkansas display at
the St. Louis exposition, beginning in
September. He will visit all sections
of the state and secure for the exhibit
the best products obtainable in order
that the resources of Arkansas may be
creditably displayed.
Speaking of crop conditions Mr. Vim
cenheller does not divine in the drouth
prevalent in the state any results par
ticularly disastrous to the farming in
terests of the state. He comedies that
the cotton crop has been cut short fully
so per cent by the drouth, but esti-
mates that half crop will yield the
producers just as much money, The
state government has 5000 acres in cot
ton, on as good land as there is in the
state, and up 70 few weeks ago be-
fore the i'll effects Of the dry period
became manifest, it was anticipated
that the yield would be 5000 bales
Now 1t can safely be said that the state
will not get more than $500 bales, Col
Vincenheller thinks the crop failure
this year is the most marked in 80 years.
Still, as indicated, he apprehends no
distress among the farmers There has
been enough corn produced, despite the
lack of rain, to supply the state and
the appreciation of cotton prices will
atone for the short yield.

WE place upon our exchange list Vol.
I, No 5 OF the New York Globe, pub
lishcd by james A. Ross, n Negro of
Buffalo, n, Y. The Globe advocates
the election OF Bryan and Scwall, Mr.
Ross, though Negro, is one of the
ablcst democrats in New York. He
speaks out in no unmistakahlc terms
for the men OF his choice. We have no
condemnation for Mr. Ross on account
Of his democracy. We believe that the
time has come when every American
voter should stand up and be counted
We have always conceded the right to
Negroes to belong to any pat" that an
honest study of platform, u sober
thought Of right and wrong would lead
them to believe in, The present cam
paign Is one Of education, thought and
reason, based upon maturcd judg'
mcnt MIR. Ross way Of reasoning will
be found In the following, clipped from
the Globe Of Aug /:
"The prime causes OF our financial
troubles are the embarrassment OF the
government and erroneous legislation,
They are governmental and not com
mcrciul, The trade and commerce. of
the county has indeed driftcd into u
quagmre, but l.. the government will
rlncc its finances right, the commerce
Of the country will right itself. If the
platform of finances of the democratic
party be carried, better times will soon
be apparent When the government is
ready to pay It's debts AS they mature,
in coin or its equivalent, the entire bus
mess of the country will leap to the
same standard
Who enacted this erroneous lcgisla-
tion? The repeal of the sherman law,
which compelled the purchase Of i,0oo,'
900 ounces Of silver per month, was
done by democratic congress, Who
enacted the Wilson tariff law, so that
the balance Of trade is now against us
and causing deficit of s20, 900, 900 for
the last fiscal year, and that, too, after
borrowing s20a, 100000? Was it not a
democratic congress? Why has the
democratic party not passed nn unlim-
itcd coinage act ut the ratio OF 10 to ~
They had in 1893, 'oi and 20 democrat
president, senate and house. They
dared not do H. They will not do II II
they carry this election. Why has Jno
q. Carlisle, the democratic secretary Of
the treasury, constantly construed the
word coin to mean gold? Is there any
law for II, or is 1t an option? Mr.. Ross,
you arc decidedly wrong. Get the bus
mess Of the country, like your own
private business, to run with cash
balance always on hand, and the hnan-
ccs will take care Of itself Tho
ndvocacy Of nm unsound currency by
the dcmocrotic party Is unwisc In the
extreme and course that no sane man
would pursue in his private affairs ex-
cept to cheat and defraud his creditors.
The republican platform stands for an
honest currency, an honest tnrih and
restoration OF peace, happiness and
prosperity TO the American people. And
