THE FARMERS PLEA.

Men who speculate in stocks and get
their money by making corners in the
markets and by other methods that re-
duce the value of farming products express
wonder at the fact that those who earn a
livelihood by tilling the soil should in
cline towards the free coinage of silver on
the basis of l6 to of gold, when the real
matter OF wonderment is that they have
so long listened to the syren songs of the
sound money advocates, which have
led them upon the breakers, where all
their'energes have been wasted and in
debtedness and want have been their only
reward
Ihese farmers have seen the products

OF their lands constantly diminishing in
value with the appreciation of gold, and
leaving them the same obligations and
taxes to pay with inadequate means. AT
last they are looking up to the real stu
alton and from Nebraska to Maine, from
Washington to Florida, and from Mich
igan to Texas these sturdy sons are de-
claring for Bryan and free silver in tones
that must and will be heard. Already the
monopolists and money-lenders of the
country see the handwriting on the wall,
and are watching with fear and trembling
the advance of that mighty wave of pub
lie opinion which will cover them with
shame and obloquy in November. They
are fighting desperately to turn aside that
wave, but their efforts will be vain
Already the Young Giant of the West
is coming Eastward, followed by the joy
ful acclaim of enthusiastic multitudes
along the route, who see in him deliverer
that will break the shackles which have
bound them to the money power of the
East and of Europe, and give hope and

ions of this great republic. The ''craze"
is spreading. Bryan and free silver are
the watchwords: victory is in the air, and
under the inspiration of the new Header
ship the people are rushing from the field,
the forge, the workshop and the merchant
stalls to do battle for the cause that is
sure to win. To all the pleas and threats
of the money lenders and monopolists the
answer of a simple farmer we'll applies:
'Everything,' said he, chat have to
sell is reduced to one half. With few
exceptions, my expenses are the same they
have been for years Taxes. minister's
salary and Doctors bills have not been
lessened. For years l have paid $50 per
annum in taxes and have given nv pastor
$40 year. Ten years ago could bring
fifty bushels of wheat to town and mt 81
per bushel get $50 for it. This paid my
taxes and my pastor and left me $50 to
spend with the merchants. The same
load this year would bring me S27. so, and
I would after paying my taxes, lack
$3.50 to make up my contribution to my
pastors salary, with no money at all to
spend with the merchants"
Is it surprising with such condition
staring them in the face that farmers and
all who have produce to sell are anxious
for change? And when relief is prom
ised in no deceptive figures by the facts in
regard to silver coinage, can they he
blamed for accepting the doctrines adj
vanced by such students of finance as
Bryan, Bland and the hundreds of others
whose arguments have overthrown the
imsy pleas of those who worship mt the
shrine of the golden calf? OF course not.
The people know what they need and they
are going to have it, as the results will
show in November next when the votes
are counted.

FIELDS MINSTRELS.

Musical acts as seen in vaudeville and
minstrels shows usually have great
deal of sameness about them; about the
same Instruments that you have heard
played upon for years and about the same
tune, with very little change in the COM
edy business, has made many of the
musical turns little the worse for wear
Originality is quickly recognized on the
stage. Messre. Bogart and O'Brien, two
very bright inventive musical geniuses,
have put an act together that has gained
the appreciation of the public and great
praise from the critics. Every instrument
used in Bogart and O'Brien's act is a
novelty; the musical pump, musical
chairs and the trick table are each in
themselves novelty that would he the
making of any musical act, no matter
how tame. But when the whole act is
sparkling with innovation, unstinted
praise is due to Bogart and O'Brien As
an eccentric comedian Neal O'Brien has
no superior His every action is ridicu-
lous. Bogart and O'Bren are in the sec
ond year of their engagement with the
AL. &. Field Minstrels and L opia and
are one of the big hits OF this biz show
The Al. G.. Field Minstrels are recog-
nlZed as the largest and best organization
of its Kind in America Each succeeding
season it has grown larger. Many bright
turns have been introduced to the Amer
lean people by this great COMPANY, but

THE EFFECT OF THREE TICKETS

The Constitution has received the fol-
lowing communication:
Greensboro, Fla, August 4, 1S96.-E
ltor Constitution: What will be the
effect on the electoral college if three sets
OF tickets are in the field in the several
States i'll the South and West? Please
answer at length in the Constitution.
Yours truly, NJ. f.. Clark
TO answer tersely, the effect of three
electoral tickets before the people means
the election of Mckinley and Hobart 10
be President and Vice President, and it
means further the maintenance of the sim
gle gold standard
In the election of 1860 two thirds ofthe
votes cast were Democratic, but they
were divided between conflicting tickets.
The result of this division of the popular
vote was that Lincoln was elected Presi
dent. Though he was the minority can
didate, still he had a majority of the votes
in the electoral college. The strange
spectacle was presented of Democratic
country being ruled by President who
was explicitly and overwhelmingly re-
Jected by Il majority of the people at the
ballot box. AS consequence of the
criminal errors of party managers. the
Union was thrown into chaos which cul-
minated in war, and millions of men and
billions of property went down in the
catastrophe which followed. A lanta
