A Chilly Year for Silver.

This has been a chilly year for the sill
vcr cause. The population of the nations
which have rejected the silver standard in
the past year is more than three times as
great as that of all those taking this step
during the ten years previous. From 1885
to 1895 the nations which adopted the
gold standard We're Egypt, Roumania,
Austria Hungary and Santo Domingo,
having an aggregate population at that
time Of fifty million people. The nations
which have abandoned the silver standard
in the past year are Bolivia, Costa Rica,
Chill, Peru. Japan and Russia, with an
aggregate population of 1SO million. to
say nothing of China with her 400 million,
which has gone long distance toward the
adoption of the gold standard.

The Farmer and the Senate.

The farmer is likely to be well taken
care of by that dignifed body, the United
States Senate. The tariff bill, reported
from the Finance Committee of that body.
has added duty of ~ cents per pound
IN hides increased the rate on wool of the
third class, and cut out the clause in the
House bill which exempted Hawaiian
sugar from duties, thus reducing that
competition with beet sugar The duty
nut on hides, tea and other articles which
We're formerly on the free list will I'M
prove the opportunities for advantageous
reciprocity treaties for which the senate
will provide, and which will greatly pene-
fiji the farmer. 1t is believed the House
rates on wools of the first and second class
will be restored by the Senate or confer
ence committee.

whv Business Moves Slowly.

The bad effect of the election of Grover
Cleveland and the free trade Congress
was felt in single month after the cleo
ton because the merchants stopped or
dering from the home manufacturers in
the expectation of getting cheap goods
from abroad under low tariff. The good
effect of the election Of Mckinley and
the protection Congress cannot be felt Us
promptly as was the bad effect of the cleo
ton of Cleveland, because those same
merchants are still buying goods abroad
in enormous quantities, and will .proba-
bly, have years supply in hand before
the new law gets into effect. This ac-
counts for the delay in activity among
our manufacturers and for the delay in
the business revival which will surely
follow the resumption of business by
them

THE FARMERS AND PROSPERITY

some Sensible Suggestions, Even IL
They Do Come from the East.
Ihe common cry from the various Dem
ocrats floating around in cold and muddy
water since the flood of November, that
may be placed in language easily compre-
hended, is as follows:
Look here, you fellows have promised
the country geea times, general prosper
lty, all that sort of thing, plenty of good
money, If Mckinley should be elected;
now, where is the money to come from
and how do you expect to get your good
times? There are just about FIVE million
farmers watching you, and if you cannot
do something for them, you are gone.
Can't you see it already?"
In this connection it Is customary to ask
the questions, "What is it precisely the
farmers desire and expect? What would
satisfy them! You warn us that they are
revolutionists except on conditions-de-
fine the conditions"
And the answer is that the farmers
have not been making anything and they
want more money, and mean to have it
from one party if not from another. If
the Republicans do not give them aid, the
farmers will turn the whole Government
over to the Populist Democratic party,
and that is just what is in the wind now!
AS for the farmers of America, they
will have to remember that they have not
the monopoly of grain and meat produc-
tion-that the vast wheat fields of Argen-
tina, India, southern Russia, Hungary
and the Dakotas, are plowed and sown
and reaped by machinery, SO that wheat
is grown at less expense than in any
former age, because there is less labor
needed to till the ground. More than that,
the world has by cheap power from cheap
coal, and by cheap steel, been made COM
paratively small. The lines of steel rails
across continents spanning great rivers
on steel bridges-the lines of steel steam
ers across the oceans-ten thousand tons
of freight driven five hundred miles
day, finds the workingmen of the cities
in white bread Farm products are cheap
ened by giving the populous nations that
carry on manufacturing industries cheap
food along with frugal power and fast
transportation. Well, is this to be regard
ed as calamity? This very cheap power
and rapid movement enarges the area
that the men who work in shops can live
in-gives wife and children good air and
a chance for shade and grass and milk di-
rect from the cows in the summer time.
Butter comes from Australia by the thou
sand tons and breaks the butter markets,
so that golden butter goes with white
bread.
How are the farmers to be compensat-
ed? There is one sure way. 1t is the es-
tabishment of home markets through the
diversity of Industries. We cannot better
the condition of farmers by multiplying
farmers.-New York Press.

Cleyeland's Little Joke,

Nobody ever before suspected Mr..
Cleveland of being humorist. Upon no
other theory, however is it possible to ex-
plain his assertion made in his New York
speech the other night, that his party
defends the humble toiler against oppres-
sive exactons in his home and invites him
to the utmost enjoyment of the fruits of
industry, economy and thrift" The ex-
perience of the ''humble toiler" since Mr..
Cleveland came to Office four years ago
will hardly enable him to agree with that
gentleman in this statement.

misdemeanor, paid as the equivalent
of three days of the sentence So, the

reckoning of time was SO careless
that the prisoner had served the full
sentence before the facts were dis
covered. When a claim against the
ounty was presented for the S., the
Jerk of the Board of Supervisors
gave an opinion that the only appar-
mt way for the claimant to get
redress was to commit another mis-
iemeanor. which would enable the
judge to allow something for the
overtime that had been served on the

Committee.
Afternoon Session.


Afternoon Session.
At $3.50 the meeting was again
called to order by the president. The
question of Incorporating was dis
cussed, but as it would cost the asso-
citation 800 to incorporate, the sub
iect was dropped. The question of
having an official organ was brought
up, and by motion the Florida Agri-
culturist was made the official organ,
said paper to devote a department to
the tobacco industry, and make it an
exchange for information for the
grower The vote was unanimous.
Mr. J. j. Laud-Brown read letter
from a grower who advocated the es-
tablishing central packing and cur
ing establishment. 1t seemed, how
ever, to be the experience of the buy
ers and tobacco growers present that
the packing house business would
take care of itself as soon as there
was tobacco raised in any section.
Tobacco was in demand, and as soon
as the fact was established they
would go where it is and handle it
themselves.
Several other matters of import
ance were discussed, but owing to the
sickness of the secretary, who has not
been able to prepare the manuscript,
the balance of this report will have
to go till next week.

CALVIN BICKHAM DISCHARGED.

The grand jury, after making dill
igent enquiry, failed to find a true
bill against Calvin Bickham, Of the
Bickham House, for having in his
possession the watch stolen from
the Road Master Of the Texas g.
Pacific while a guest of The house,
and of which We made mention at
the time The Judge discharged
Bickham yestesdaY, and relieved
the bondsmen.
The reporter interviewed Mr.
Bickham about the affair and he
said "The woman whose business
it is to clean up the rooms found
the watch after the gentleman who
lost 1t had gone, under another bed
from the one he occupied the night
he lost il, and turned it over to me
that day, ] did not know where
the gentleman lived but was arr
ranging to find him, The night on
which ] was arrested and locked up
for being drunk found me with the
watch in my pocket, and the Off
GERS wouIdtakeno explanation about
the affair but kept me locked up"
Mr., Bickham said he had no hard
feelings against the officers as they
did what they conceived to be their
duty We hope this will be a les-
son to him.
