earned savings OF the American laborer
viii tell us the question has not been
settled right. A glance at our govern
ment, at the way in which our officers
act, will, too, tell us that the ques-
ton has not been settled right. And if
it has not been settled right, it has not
been settled. Right shall triumph,
and Truth shall rise, and thosegoldbugs
who have been watching the drift Of
popular opiniol are fearful. They know
that there is yet manhood in the
American people, and that they
will not always bow to oppression and
greed. They will protest; they will re-
bel against wrong government, and
when they rebel, they will conquerl
There is q great deal of careless,
bold stubborness in the American
people. They have an enormous
amount of patience. but patience has
almost ceased to be a virtue.
People long before the war thought
the slavery question was settled. They
looked upon each new defeat of tho
aboIitionist candidate as a blow upon
it. "It is dead-gone," they said.
''The slavery question liz settled. But it
lived on; it was not settled, nor was it
settled until it was settled right"
The nation is sick, financially. It's
condition ia growing worse. DR..
Cleveland did it no good. Now comes
DR.. Mckinley with his four.years Of
gold cure and he is equally unsuccess-
full. The people are getting tired of
their humbuggery, and now al little
straw that shows which way the wind
blows comes Hon. Jehn Wanamaker,
one OF Americas leading Republicans
and merchants.
Strong Republican though he is, he
realizes that the American people are
getting impatient and discontented.
He says 1.-The tide will soon set in
strongly against the Republican party
unless the depression Of business is al
tered" and Of course ''the depression
of business" will not be altered.
Twenty years of the gold standard
have produced no good result. Ii has
simply succeeded in carrying the old
ship of State + and nearer the
whirlpool of destruction, and it is alb
surd to suppose that the cause-mono-
metalism-wM produce an effect ex.
actly the reverse Of that which has
been plain to many since 1873. The
same cause must produce the same eff
feet, and to suppose it would produce
the reverse would be the height of
folly.
Yes, as Wanamaker says, ''the tide
will soon set in strongly against the
Republican party" ''and against all
gold standard parties" "Wel does he
say that the people SO long betrayed
and disappointed have lost faith in the
Republicans" as they havein the Demo
Gratis.
Yes, the people are rising in rebel
lion. Wanamaker has sounded the
tocsin Of alarm and ere the ides of No
vember 1900 the cry of the victory Of
right and justice will ring out all over
our broad land.

SALEM, N. G., May 26, 1897.
Salem, N. G is just now enjoying
her gala time in the Commencement
exercises Of Salem Female Academy.
From Friday 91st to date, the town
has been gay with visitors, friends and
flowers. Notwithstanding the pressure
of lard times, it must be gratifying to
those in charge OF the Academy to
notice that there has been no falling off
in the patronage of the school.
This time the audiences that have
attended seem to excel all previous
times, for good order and general tone,
while the costumes have seemed to
form the vast thing into one immense
boquet, to which, we suppose, the
very fine weather has contributed.
The evidences of careful training
and faithful study shown in all the ex-
ercises that have been given in the va
rious programmes since Friday last
are the strongest testimonials that
could be given to the teachers of the
Academy, under the lead of Prof. 6hir-
ley, Miss Scirbee and Miss Tracy.
This strong work did not only per
wade the general work Of the school,
but also the special studies. Of which q
great number r taught in the school.

Robert E. Caldwell, of the Presbyte-
rian church, was q remarkably fne

SIMPLY A ROUGH ESTIMATE.

To be plain about it, if all the cotton
raised in Texas were made into one
shirt, the garment would fit a man
10000 miles tall. The Texas crop of
Is, O0O, 900 pounds of wool would make
him a pair of socks. The leather pro.
duct Of the State would make him q
pair Of shoes, the soles of which would
nearly cover a pair Of States as large as
Massachusetts,. The 900, 600 head of
beeves and 125, 600, 900 bushels of corn
would feed him bread and meat for six
months, and if all the horses in Texas
were one, he could ride a horse biO
enough to nibble grass on the RlAe
Ridge and fan the flies off his launches
which would loom up in the neiphbor-
hood of the Mississippi River. The
hairs of the animals tail would belas
large in diameter as telegraph poles
and az long as the Hudson River, and
it would take the bite of q horse Av
fourteen times the size of an elephant
to make him snort. Galveston Nows

Speaking of the silver speech to be
made at Louisville by Mr.. Harvey,
author of "Coin," an exchange says:

The oat crop ripens later than other

There is another objection TO sowing
wheat after oats in she fact that both

fertility But a dressing Of 100 pounds
of standard phosphate will replace
what the oat crop has removed, and on
most land secure a better wheat crop ON

Of his method. He writes:
