and business remains In the same
comatose state, despite the con
slant reiteration Of the gold-bue
press that confidence has beer
restored"
The dire effects of the single
gold standard have been as keenly
felt by the farmers and wealth
producers of this State New
York; as by any class of people in
this country, and if they would
avert the dangers that threaten to
overpower them they must Olsen
tangle themselves from the blind
leadership of party politics and
meet the issue side by side and
shoulder to shoulder without re-
gard 10 past affiliations.
Each spring all ever-lncreaslng
number of farmers find themselves
unable to meet the demands Of
their creditors and pay their inter
est, and are forced to surrender
their homes and become tenants.
According to the census of 1890,
of the 226,632 families occupying
farms in this State, only 97,5O9
owned their homes free OF incum-
brance, the remaining 1928 be-
ing tenants or living on heavily
mortgaged farms. Owing to the
great drop in prices and conse-
quent hard times since the census
it is safe to say that the number
of mortgaged farms and tenant
farmers has enormously increased
during the last six years. In many
cases the farms mortgaged would
sell for no more than the amount
| of the debt. En- this great agri-
cultural county of Washington, a
large majority Of the farmers are
struggling against constantly ap-
preciating mortgages, absolutely
without hope Of solvency if the
present times continue. This is a
condition that ought not to exist in
a State with so many natural ad.
vantages and resources, and where
the soil is sofertile and productive
The depreciation of farm lands
has been SO great that places which
formerly sold for $4,000 tC
SIS, 900 can now be bought fol
!, $4,000 and. $1,000. The prices O
produce have fallen at even
greater ratio, and the farmer who
twenty-five years ago, sold his WOO
for 90 cents a pound sold last fal
| for IL cents q pound. Rye ha
dropped from 80 cents and 81 t
80 cents bushel. Potatoes, tn
principal crop of. the farmers il
| this section, in spite of the ligh
yield, sell for but % cents pc
bushel. Other things have fallel
! as much; and yet IN the face o
this calamitous drop in price
taxes have risen, making it NOR
difficult for the tiller OF the soil t,
me ct his obligations. The prevail
ing low prices make it Impossible
for one to pay for q farm out o
the proceeds Of his own toll, n,
matter how industrious and eco
nomicsl he may be, and he mus
ultimately give mp the object OF hi
highest ambition the place h
would call his home. To have
place one may call his own, humbl
though it be-. aids in the making, o

A BABY WONDER.
AT the Ago of Three Months She Talks
Like a Grown Person.

AT the Ago of Three Months She Talks
Like a Grown Person.
Few will believe it possible for a
3-months- child to talk. However
such is the case, and any one can verify
the truthfulness of this statement with
very little trouble.
The parents of the child are Richard
and frankie Cleveland, colored, living
at II Short street, Nashville, and the
child has been talking since it was
week old. Hundreds have visited the
little wonder and have left the house
completely mystified at what they have
seen and heard.
The child is a girl and differs olly
from other babies in that it Can talk
plainly and be understood as distinctly
as a grown person. The voice, of course
is naturally weak, but has none Of the
baby prattle about it. In addition to the
child's talking propensities it seems 70
be possessed of superior intelligence ana
gives voice to utterances most astound'
ing, coming as they do from one
ng.-Nashyille Banner.
