sired to have the government admins
tered by the advocates Of the Republi-
can party and the States of Pennsylva-
mia and West Virginia gave to President
Mckinley their electoral votes. / have
no data at hand showing how they voted
In those mining districts, but doubtless
many of them supported the Republican
party. Congressman Ridgley, of Kan
sas, introduced resolution, at the clos
ing hours of Congress, to amend the con-
stitution so as to remove the difficulty
that the Supreme court found in its re-
cent decision against the income tax
That Is an exceedingly slow way to OBJ
tain relief But as the Supreme court in
numerous decisions before had sustained
an income tax, If the personnel OF the
court should be changed that decision
would undoubtedly be Overruled.
If all Of the friends Of labor and the
economical administration Of the govern
ment should unite at the election in 1900
and elect Congress and President, they
could by act of Congress abolish all Of
the inferior Federal courts, which would
take away the power of the present
Judges, and increase the number of
Judges on the Supreme bench, as the
number is solely in the power Of Con-
CESS, that would overcome all Of the diff
culties that the people are now complain
ing Of along that line. Congress could
then create such Federal courts as were
necessary to transact business, and the
President could appoint men for Judges
who would respect the rights Of the
people as well as the rights Of capitalized
wealth. This may seem a radical rem
edy, but 1t is one that the people could
exercise in a lawful and constitutional
way, and one that would not make 1t
necessary to shed any blood II this
method should be adopted by the people
it would be generations before courts
would undertake to run the government
by injunction. am Of the opinion that
threats as expressed by Mr.. Debs, that
citizens should be allowed to carry arms,
and that an impending revolution is
about to break upon the country, only
retards the reforms that the labOring
people are working for; but IL all of the
reform forces could be united, including
the labOring classes Of the country, the
ends sought for could be obtained, and

The Duty and Destiny of POpulism.

Editor AdvOCate:-I notice the discus
sion that has arisen as to the duty and
destiny of POpulism, or rather, as to the
absolute necessity Of POpulism as an ele-
ment in our State and national political
program. And before venturing my ad-
vice and counsel in the premises, allow
me to authenticate myself by stating
that my dissent from the trend of the
Republican party, with which l had
voted from before the war, commenced
in the Kansas Legislature Of 1870 by an
ardent protest against the action of the
party in granting the public lands to
spectators, corporations and syndicates;
rs in the case Of the neutral lands of
southeastern Kansas granted to J. f.
Joy, then a subject Of agitation and COM
plant as depriving actual settlers Of
their rights and evicting them from their
lands by the strong arm Of the law; and
gave the settlers all the consolation
could but without much avail l then
clearly saw that the Republican party
had been captured by the money power
Of the country led and directed by
higher power sitting in state in London.
For the decree had already gone forth
for the payment Of the government
bonds (bought at from 40 to 60 cents Of
their face value) in gold at 100 cents and
1876 cents, as afterwards resulted, in the
solid glittering metal. True, John Sher-
man, Senators Morton Of Indiana and
Wade of Ohio and Benjamin f. Butler
had each and all denounced the proposal
as perfectly shocking and beyond possi-
bility of adoption. But the campaign of
1868 had been carried on that promise
to the financial element and could see
was bound to be fulfilled and the people
mulcted to the tune of near thousand
millions for the sole benefit of Roths-
child and other financial barons foreign
and domestic The time had come for
me to strike; and have found my pO-
litical status in the Union Labor, Green
back and Populist ranks from that day
to this, and l have no other desire now
than to see the thorough triumph Of Pop
ulist principles and the Populist cause.
I cordially join in advising the rank

Curing Tobacco.

The principal part of this very inn
portant operation appears to be what
is called the betuning. This is fer
menting process, by which the aro-
matte qualities of the tobacco are de-
veloped, and from the aroma thus OBJ
tanned depends in great measure on
the value of the ready made product.
This process is carried out by soaking
the dried tobacco leaves in sauce
prepared for this purpose from other
tobacco of good flavor, and then let
ting the leaves thus treated undergo
a sweating reaction, during which
considerable heat is developed, and
which terminates with the finishing of
the tobacco.
Modern bacteriology has proved
that the flavor obtained depends sole
ly upon the quality of the bacteria
which cause this fermenting process
and that if false fermentation Oc-
ours, the tobacco is greatly lessened in
it's value. 1t has even been shown by
Mr.. Suchsland that tobacco of infer
Tor value may greatly be improved in
its quality by treating the same in the
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-07-28

proper manner with "reincultures'' of
bacteria obtained from higher grades.
1t is therefore the greatest impor-
lance in curing tobacco to exclude
from the same all mucors and baccilli,
which may destroy the action of the
proper ferment, and further to take
care that the sauce used for soaking
the tobacco leaves is free from all ele-
ments which might interfere with the
generation of fine flavor. The proper
way to control this work is the exami-
nation Of tobacco leaves and of the
sauce by powerful microscope, and
to follow up the process of fermenta-
ton by the same instrument in the
manner taught us by modern bacteri-
ologists. This is especially necessary
here in Florida, where an abundance
of different mucors and microscopical
mushrooms infect anything. -Dr. o.
Grothe in Ocala Banner.

Why You Should Raise Tobacco.


After looking over the Barlow and
Fort Meade tobacco business, we are
more than ever impressed with the
idea that Osceola county farmers
should grow tobacco, and that there
are many advantages offered in this
county that our neighbors do not
possess.
LIST. The people of Barlow and
FIT. Meade are enthusiastic over to-
bacco as money crop, when they are
producing it at greater cost than it
can be produced in this county. There
are thousands of acres of muck land
in this county that will produce more
to the acre without any fertilizer than
can be grown at Barlow and Eft.
