Meramec Baptist Association.

The Mcranlec Baptist Associstion
met with Ceurtoise Church Sept.
80, 1897. Courtoise Baptlst
Church is in the eastern part of
Crawford County, near Berrymsn
and is one of the oldest organizations
Of the Baptists in this country.
When the delegates from the
churches composing the Meramec
Association arrived at the church
on Thursday they found a large
crowd of people there ready to well
come them and provide for their
comfort. There was Il large table
in the grove at the church filled
with ample provisions for all.
! The Association was called to
order by n. P. Hill, moderator, at
2 o'clock p. NJ. The roll of churches
was called and communications
were read. nearly all being repre-
sented. Rev. S. E. Compton rep
resented Dry Fork Association

Franklin Association. Visiting
ministers were j. Il. Hamlin, of

come from Somewhere. Surely
not from the government. 1t has
come from the Golfers of those who
secretcd it through fear Of the put

nefarious theories Of finance. 1t
has come out through restored
confidence in the financial good
faith Of the government and the
people. The money has gone into
the hands Of the rural folk as re-
ward Of their work on the farms.
The demand for farm products
made profit for the farmer.
There would have been no profit if
Rrvanism had won in the late cleo
ton, and every dollar had been de-
preciated by the Injection into our

THE motive Of the Bryanitcs

THE motive Of the Bryaniics in
their efforts to secure q more
abundant and cheaper currency
seems to be tho easier payment OF
debts. If this end, IN case their
party came into power, could not
be accomplished BY the free coin
age of silver, they will be ready tc
20 still farther and give us uniim-
tied grcenbacks. The man whe
owes a debt is to be the beneficiary
in the end no matter what means arc
employed to reach it. Just why
the interests of the debtor should
receive more consideration thar
the interests of the creditor is moi
clear. Through the mysterious
reasoning processes of the Popo-
cratic brain the idea has probably
evolved itself that if the paymen,
of debts is made easier the facili-
ties for borrowing will increase il
the same ratio, and a sort mutua
1erry-go-round between borrower
and lender wiz result. Ever.
time the debtor loads up the cur
rency can be ADDED to sufficiently
to make it an easy matter for hin
to rid himself of the debt. Tht
farmer could borrow money witt
which to add to his acres, and the,
the purchasing power of the circu
lating medium could be rcdscet
until the value of Il bushel of whea
would pay for an acre of groand
and he could pay a years take
with another bushcl. These ar
the salient features of the schem
to make life a beautiful thing t
the debtor class. All that is ncccs
sary to make it practicable is t.
win the creditor around to the no
ton that he is not being robbc'
when he is returned money tha
will not buy as much as the monc.
he loaned.

A Natural Conclusion.

Those people who jcer and mock
at "prosperity" have had an object
lesson this week that should make
them reflect upon the usclessness of
denial Of the evident. The reports
of the officials of all the railroads
entering st. Leuis show that there
were more visitors to st. Louis
than at this time any year since
1894. The scenes at the Union
Station were reminiscent Of those
which were Witnessed at the old
depot the weeks Of the Grand Army
encampment and the knights
Templar conclave. The crowds
upon the streets and in the stores
were an overwhelming evidence
tha4 times have improved. 1t costs
money to come to st. Louis, even
at reduced rates. Thc trip of two
or three days of the countryman
and his family would not beindulg-
cd in if there were not a surplus
in his pocket or to his credit in the
bank. The men who will deny the
effectiveness of such a demonstra-
ton of improved conditions in the
territory tributary to St. Louis are
welded to the idol of pessimism be
yond tho hope of cheering. !
venture to assert that on this Thurs
iay morning the City of St. Louis
is weather by more than half &

BRYAN ought to be the last man
