fusion by democratic votes. He recognizes the
very great service performed by the demo-
cratic and independent newspapers during the
campaign Maj Mckinley will endeavor to
see collected a great national party that will
give prosperity to the country. He expects
and hopes that men of oil shades OF former
political belief will be united to this end.
The first movement he will make will be TO
obtain sufficient revenue to conduct the
government Further issues OF bonds would
be altogether too dangerous Business pros-
perity and stability demand that as soon as
possible the government should be on paying
basis To this end an extra session OF con- :
gress will be necessary, and President McKin-
ley will undoubtedly call one soon after his in
augurntion. Legislation will be required to
secure the desired revenue, and Mr. McKin-
ley will do everything in his power to secure
it. as well as the legal establishment OF q poll
icy which will tend TO put everybody at work. .
In all this he hopes and expects that he Will be

win be Held Mt tho Court House IN

Saturday January II and Is.

This is a meeting in which every
body is interested, because there ~
no question of such vital Importance
to the business interests Of the
country as agriculture, Everything
depends on the productions OF the
soil.
The fact that prices are low and
profits are very small in almost
every line, is what calls for better
methods and more skilIful practices
to enable us to compete with con-
Litions before us. The Farmers
Institute lis the medium through
which improvement, skill and enter
prise, can prepare us to meet the
emergencies OF the times.
The Institute instructors are those
who haveifaced the difficulties; they
nave overcome the distractions
that SO often meet us at every turn,
and are therefore able to render as
sistance to the DISCOURAGED, give
valuable advice to those seeking
information and put up the danger
signals for the veItureSOme; SO that
our agricultural methods will he I'M
proved to the degree that all other
branches of business are at the
present day.
There is no virtue in stopping to
howl as we only receive the echo.
but by pushing ahead consistently
with ii purpose to win, is the only
way OUT uf the difficulties that now
confront us.
Attend the institute and see il you
can't get help.
