As the smoke issues from our chimneys

gions Of the atmosphere; but AZ this
moment IL deseends 10 the ground and

LAST Friday We hauled 10 five loads OF

struck, leaving one moved Ia the fore

loads more, hauled in one of them, to-

Monday morning the other, before it be-

streak of good luck:
For whatsoever man soweth, that
shall he also reap" SO says Holy Writ,
and il Is practically true, though not
always literally. \ year ago we seeded
down an acre with herdSgrass and
clover, which looked well in the fall.
The other day little more than half a
ton Of sorrel was taken from the ground
with a sprinkling OF hay. The stalks Of
herdsgrass, on some of il, stood from
much farther. Briefly stated, the hay
crop Is light.
The first of the month y card WAS sent

Was sent al once, and in due time the
letter got here all right; and when il
Was opened il was found 10 contain thir-

Mr.. Davis writes that the first part OF
the season was too wet and cold for corn,
but now all crops are booming, and
promise big harvest.
Nora Thomas school at the Centre
closed last Friday, and in the afternoon
they all hands had picnic in the grove

tons, plays and such like IL was what
might be called juvenile red letter

Was pronounced success. She is des-

Dea. X. l.. Cole and wife had nine
children born To them, five OF whom are
living, and have been married quite a
number Of years. Only two OF them
have children, each son and daughter.
Verify the old sdage, that like produces
like, isn't always true. The second son,
Elmer, lives in Lynn, Mass, and while
down on visit last week, gave US a
pleasant call. IL was the first time we
had seen him in nearly twenty years.
Poets OF America was published in
1890, and contains the names OF over
1000 persons who contributed TO the

then living. Five are remembered at
this moment, Harriet Il. Stowe being

Editor Democrat
am surprised that so many OF our
leading men and newspapers are forcing
gold and silver 10 the front in this cam
paign. Fill every custom house with
gold eagles. every post office with silver
dollars. every school house with paper
promises 70 pay, aud what will il benefit
YOU aud me, unless We can get employ
ment 70 obtain some OF IL:
This hue and cry" is made 10 draw
attention from the main issue, pro
lection. Give Us protection that will
kindle the fires under our FORCES; that
will set our idle spindles in motion; that
will give employment 10 the laborer ;
and then We can discuss the gold and
silver standards.
The Chicago platform has more
dangerous doctrines than the money
question. IL tends 10 Reputation,
anarchy aud revolution. But | will not
discuss these features OF the issue now,
but will only call attention 20 the vital
questions. protection and reciprocity.
From 1916 70 l>j7 the Walker tariff for
revenue only was in operation. In 1857
amendments were made. causing still
further reductions in revenue, and Presi-
dent Buchanan called a halt and asked
for an increase in protection. Instead,
Congress authorized a loan of $1,000, 600
six per cent bonds. $50 600 were
disposed Of at eighty-fve cents on the
dollar.
The Morrill, tariff, protective, was
passed in 1851. The nation was carried
through one OF the wickedest rebellions
the sur ever shOne upon. Millions OF
treasure were expended and other mil
lions OF debt contracted, and vet after
the close Of the war, more than 0ne-hslf
OF the debt was paid, and two per cent
bonds sold at premium, unbOunded
prosperity prevailed. until our protective
system was threatened and finally, by
the disgrDntled bosses, the discontinued
foreigners. the anarchists, and Demo-
cratic party uniting, was OverthrOwn in
1892.
In 1891 the people saw their mistake,
and as far as was in their power applied
the remedy. by elecring house Of rep
resentatiyes in favor of protection.
The Populist, the anarchist, the con-
trolling power in the Democratic party,
foresaw they were beaten on the issue Of
protection. They saw Mckinley nOmi-
mated because his name was attached 10
the tariff which gave them work and
prosperity, and now they are trying TO
divert attention from the great issue.
l do not underestimate the money
question, Mr.. Editor, which have here
tofore discussed in your valuable paper,
but trust we shall not lose sight of the
main question, protection 10 home in

what the effect Of free silver coinage at II

detail Of the confusion that would result
Ii is, however, as certain as anything
future can be, that prices generally
would rise lin terms Of dollars TO a

teaches that the wages of the laboring
man would be affected the last and least
Of all. History has shown that de
