before, known what waat h.; be-
cause it has killed hope in the
hearrs Of millions Of honest men
Who arr. snable 10 eel! their labor
for bread.
All tlese tllings make for anarchy
and revolutions. aud John Most, the
arcl-anar:l,ist, knows it. That is
the reason he is in favor OF the gold
standard. He xrins with approba-
ton when lie sess the growing dis
content and Asepening poverty Of
the people. fee = knows that It is
only under sneA copditions that the
free people d - republic can be
prevailed on to 6eea.he the poison
Gus air ut anarchy. He knows full
well that when the people are pros
porous, and con.ented and happy,
with all their resources Of brain and
muscle profitabIy employed. and
with the lost values restored 10 their
labor, anarchy can find no foothold
in this republic; not even in the foul
dens it has made for itself under the
very caves Of the stronghold Of the
money power.
Every man who reads tue Consti-
tuition knows that suc!, thing as q
professional anarchist was never
heard Of in tins country until after
the single gold standard had begun
to steal the value from the products
Of the peoples labor, aud from their
property, and transfer it to the dol.
lar. 1t is true that the money power
aud the tory element denounced JET
fsrson ~ m anarchist, snd applied
the same epitlet % Andrew Jackson.
But j: was simply tie result OF im-
potent rage, aud meant no more
than the application Of the same
epithet to such . man as William J.
Bryan now means.
1t has been demonstrated BY ex-
pssieaoe that the people Of this re-
public cannot be prespsrOss end
happy long 1t time when they
permit their leaders or theie chooses
rulers to stray away from the fanda-
mental principles OF government
which Jefferson formulated, which
] Jackson defended, and whiols-&he
democratic party. under the leader
ship Of Bryan, is trying to restore.
When John Most, the anarchist
leader. approves and indorsee the
gold standard. i,,s du!lsst mind
must understand that he Il pleased
with it because it creates the con-
dii;Q9s Of popular disconlent and
distress iq which .lq9e he and his
kind can hQpe to o9tain recruits for
their ipceqdiary and uademocratic
schemes.
Consequently. there they stand,
shoulder to shoulder and hand to
I,snd-Herr Most, the anarchist,
and the money power! Anarchy
and the gold standard! Let the peoz

conceptions OF Satan to dislnteg:ate

+ THE PEOPLE WANT IT,
THEY MUST HAVE IT.

A good story is told on certain
eloqnent Louisianian. Who return
cd from the I'iny woods, where be
hal been eajoyius the su,nmer sol-
stice, ''far from the maddiug
crowd" aud upon whose seclusion
even the newspapers had not OBJ

for the Democratic nomination for

During ehe time OF his retreat

oped and fliied the press to the ex-
clusion Ut all other themes, till il
had become a nasiosIai question
and the commoaess subject Ut dis
cussion, but the scandal had not
reached the sylvan solitudes Of
our candidate aud he dad heard
nothing Of it. In his first speech,
however. the question was asked
him by the ever Troublesome inter.
rupter, "Yes. but how do you stand
Oh the Beecller-T ilton case" The
speaker had heard nothing Of such
u case. knew nothing about it, hat
it would never do to confess his
ignorance in regard to q subject
which was apparently Of universal
concern and paramount interest.
So he proceeded to answer the
question with the utmost frankness
and righteousness. ''Fe'low citi-
zens," he said, II have been
asked how l stand upon the
Beecher-Tilton csse. l confess I
have not studied the question as
deeply as I would have liked, but

This il about the altitude that
the sound money Democrats must
assume towards the silver coinage
plank in the Democratic party.

Speaking Of protection, the Re-
publican platform says:
''This true American policy taxes
foreign products"
ykis is essentially ? falsehood.
It taxes American consumers.
Foreign products have no money
to pay duties. All tariff taxes,
whether for revenue or protection,
must I've paid ~ the importer, but
the tax is added to the price and
COLLECTED off the consumer. The
popularity Of the protective duties
Is that they tax the consumer, not
only on what is imported, but also
on a much larger quantity Of do
nestle goods, which are raised in
price BY the tax on similar articles
imported. This 10 trHe in all cases
where there is any real foreign COM
petition. The cases where the tax
i proAibitive, aud prices fall be-
low the foreign psi0e aud the duty,
are wholly irrelevant. That simply
shows that the protection Is ex-
ceesive even from . protection stand

Summer Feed.

Professor Lindsay, in a bulletin
sent out from the experiment station at
Amherst on economic feeding OF mllch
cows. gives valuable information on
green folders that will help out the
short pasturage, says Our orange
Home. His conclusions are that pas
ture grass is a perfect feed TOT the
dairy COW, and when the animal can
secure sufficient of il without TOO great
efforts, maximum milk yields may pe
expected. This. however. is rarely the
case. and it very frequently becomes
necessary to practice at least partiai
system of soling Rye sown the prev
ious autumn is the earliest green 1eeu
to be had in the spring. II cannot Ee
fed over ten days, as 1t grows rapioi!
woody. Wheat can follow rye. anu can
be fed for fourteen days. After cutting
the rye and wheat the land can DC
planted to corn. Wheat can be fol-
lowed by clover and grass, or by Glow
or alone, sown the year previous. the
first annual crops from which green
iced can be secured are Canada peas
and OATS, or ve,ch and oats. These
should he sown as early as possible IN
he spring. The peas or vetch should
he narrowed Or lightly plowed to
depth OF three or four inches and the
oats lightly narrowed in. Either COM
bination makes 4 most excellent green
feed, and by planting several los
about two weeks apart. green feed can
be secured during the entire month OF
July. The vetch seed is rather more
costly than the peas. The only oojec-
ton to Canada peas is their tendency
to lodge. Some prefer the champion
of England or black-eyed marrowfat
on this account. For green feed dur
ing the month of August the barnyard
millet Panicumcrus gallD is to be rec
commended. This miilet was imported
from northern Japan. The wild spe-
cies growing in this country is the
common barnyard grass. The cult
waited species grows upright from five
to seven feet tall, and yields from
twelve to twenty tons of green mater
ial per acre. Animals eat it with avid
ity. 1t makes also very good hay hut.
being cOarser than the common mille:,
there is difficulty in curing it. Il needs
plenty of moisture to produce maxi
mum yields. and will no. stand
drought as we'll as corn. Medium green
sofa beans sown in drills two and one
half feet apart about May 80 will grow
four feet tall and furnish green fOd-
der rich in protein from August 20 to
September Is. Corn planted May p
will furnish green fodder from August
IS to September 20. 1t can be fed in
connection with SOFA beans, one half
of each, to excellent advantage. and
furnishes a properly balanced ration.
Land from which peas and oats have
been removed by July Is can be seeded
at once with Hungarian grass, and will
yield green food from September 20 to
October 5, the balance, if any, to be
made into hay. One can expect from
one to one and one-half tons of hay
per acre. Barley and peas sown Aug
ust to will furnish plenty of green
feed during October. These last fod.
ders will stand very severe frosts.
