THE CONFEDERATE MONUMENT.
A Letter from Mr.. Eemming in Regard to
the Confederate Monument.

To the Editor of the Times Union:
Permit me, through your paper, to
send good wishes and greetings in be-
half Of my wife and self to our many
Florida friends, whom we often think
Of and remember in our family circle.
God is very good to us, giving us
health and the ordinary things need
full to meet the ends of life, and as
time moves on our hearts are filled
with increasing gratitude for these
blessings and benefits.
We often speak of our happy visit
to your beautiful state, and the meet
ing of so many dear friends, and we
wonder if, in the providence of God,
we are to repeat that pleasant journey
and see those faces again. We hope
so, and we trust none will be absent
when we uncover the modest tribute
we have undertaken TO lay in honor
and afIectiOnate remembrance of that
superb body of men who, at the call of
duty, went forth to endure privation
and to meet suffering and To face bat
tie for what they believed was right,
and when another Christmas returns
we trust this work will have been nc
complished. A year ago the contract
was already made, hut those who un-
dertook the work failed us, aud we,
anxious to see it accomplished a. then
| indicated, at a considerable eXrense
amended and revised it, but in a short
time we found that the representa-
tions made were not satisfactory, and
for that reason cancelled it myself.
| am now receiving estimates and
examining plans from four contract
Ors, and hope by the 18th of March TO
consummate a new deal, and in thi
event, having the advice as well as
the good judgment of one of the
finest artists in the country to fall
back upon. sincerely hope that we
shall have something besides pile
of rock to show for our efforts; some
thing In the line of art, without de
tracing from its power of endurance,
stability and strength.
I want my friends to remember
that, while / am under no obligations
to the public generally, their patience
and their confidence will in due time
be rewarded in the finished and COM
pIeted work l have undertaken, how
ever modest it may appear; yet it
shall be token of the highest affect
ton and regard l can give friends
bound to me by the ties of youth, as
well as by the suffering and privation
incident TO the vicissitudes of those
dark days which, while not remem-
bered in bitterness, are still unforgot-
, en-.
1t was through those trials and the
precious blood that was shed on both
sides, that now exists the bond of fell
lowship and brotherhood, which under
Gods blessing, | pray will always
keep our nation and our people as one.
Yes, dear friends, remember if am
not with you at the appointed time
the work will neither be delayed or
unfinished, for have wife and boy
who claim in this work as much in
terest as myself.

Bryan's campaign, in energy, grand
eur, and moderation of statement, in
physical and intellectual endurance,

it is almost universally admitted, the
most wonderful ever chronicled IN the

Carmaek, by the way, is the most

few days ago farmer residing north
of the city came to town with big
wagon load of corn with the intention
of purchasing a pairof shoes and some
other articles. He visited the shoe
store, bought pair of boots and
ladies' shoes and had them wrapped
up, saying he would call later for the
purchase. He then drove to the elC-
vator and had hard work to sell his
corn for II cents. But, finally, when
it become apparent that II cents was
all that he could obtain for the cereal,
he accepted it, and on returning to
the shoe store, was compelled to pay
the whole amount received for the load
of corn for the pair of boots, the shoes
for the lady being returned TO the box
on the shelf. IL is peculiar state of
affairs when it takes a load Of corn TO
pay for pair Of boots. Especially is
it peculiar when we read of people
starving to death in large cities only a

SUNSHINE OF PARADISE ALLEY.

Pingree is the republican governor
elect of Michiaan and this is the way
he talks to the Chicago Times Herald
of the restoration of confidence and
prosperity due TO McKinley's cleo
ton: /" Prosperity Fiddlestieks.
There can be no prosperity so long rs
the country is at the mercy of the
money-lenders. The social system is
out of joint. We need law against
great fortunes. Men form combina-
tions and put their hands into the
pockets of the poor. They never take
from those who have, but steal from
those who have not. We need men
willing to stand for equal rights, and
we want men who bawl for equal
rights to take hand at practicing
equal rights. The public is being
MIXED for the sake of thefew and the
thing has got to stop before there can
be any relief. Gold standard talk has
had its day. There will never be an
other republican convention which
will write that word in its platform.
There will next time be strong BIZ
metallic platform, and this Is what the
people want. They will have learned
by that time that prosperity does not
necessarily come by the election of
any one man to the presidency, and
that prosperity cannot come until the
laws are radically changed. Michi-
gan would have gone for free silver,
but the gold men scared the people to
death with their calamity bowling
and the promises of prosperity whose
sunshine is that of Paradise Alley"
President Cleveland is singularly
duh in compromising popular opin-
ion. He believed to within few days
of the Chicago convention, that the
eastern politicians would capture that
body in the interest of the gold stand
ard. Now he prophesies that the
democratic party will be arranged on
the lines laid down by the Indianapo-
lis convention. This two, in the face
of the fact that over six millions of
votes were polled for Mr.. Bryan. The
democratic party as it stands to day
is the opponent of trusts and that will
be one of the great issues of the cam
paigns that are to follow. 1t is the
party of bimetalism and that issue

Cuba establishes the fact that large
number of American citizens on the is
land are in a state of restitution, suffer-
ing from want of food and medicines.
This applies particularly to rural dis
tricts in the central and eastern parts
and the agricultural classes have been
forced from farms into the nearest towns.
wher they are without work or money
The local authorities in several towns,
however, are kindly disposed, but unable
to relieve the needs Of the common peo-
pie, and are altogether powerless to help
our citizens.
The latest reports from Consul General
Lee estimate from six to eight hundred
American citizens without means of sup
port. 1 have assured him that provision
will be made Immediately to relieve them.
To that end L recommend that congress
make an appropriation of $4,000, to be
Immediately available for use under the
directions of the secretary of state. 1t is
desirable that part of the sum which may
be appropriated by congress should be
used in the discretion of the secretary of
state and also used for the transporta-
ton of American citizens who are deSir
Gus to return to the United States, and
who are without means to do so.

Free Seed Resolution.

The Agriculturist has frequently ex-

government free seed distribution
plan, and suggested that our State
Horticultural Society express it's dis
appreciation of the plan. This was
done by the following resolution in
troduced by G. A. Bacon:
Whereas, The execution of the law pro-
viding for the distribution of rare seeds,
plants and trees by the department of
agriculture of the United States has been
perverted from the original intent of the
law therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Florida State Horti-
cultural Society, as representing the hor-
ticultural and agricultural interests of
the state, that we condemn the present
practice of general free distribution of
the common varieties of vegetable and
flower seeds as now conducted by the ag-
ricultural department.
Resolved, That our representatives II
congress be requested to use their efforts
to have the appropriations now made for
this purpose applied to the scientific work
of the agricultural department in inves-
tigation of diseases and insect enemies of
plants grown or commercial purposes
throughout the United States, knowing
that appropriations thus applied would
rebound to the benefit of the horticultural
and agricultural interests of the coun-
