The Farmers Pest.

Our farmers were once free and indie
pendent, suffering no ills except occa-
sionally drouth, hog cholera or insect
pest, but today they buy their nails. their
Irvine, their tobacco, their sugar at prices
fixed by the arbitrary and plutocratic
trusts, pest far more destructive than
the insect pest. They must sell their
products at prices fixed in London and
Liverpool, and buy their necessaries at
prices fixed in Wall street, and between
these two millstones they are being
ground into the dust of which serfs and
peasants are made.
We have seen wheat reach and pass the
dollar mark, and we've seen men claim
it was due to the Dingley bill. Today,
with wheat lowering OH the edge of 60
cents, these false prophets are dumb as
the grave. And the people, the farmers,
what are they doing? Are they observing
and thinking, or are they remaining
passive while the collar of the serf is
being fastened on them?

Criminal Indifference,

The Philadelphia Ledger in a narrative
of the cruel indifference of the Alger war
departments says:
THE officials of the War Department
might not have been able to find the
missing trooper, but they might and they
should have given some consideration to
the anxious inquiries regarding him of
his distressed family and friends. This
they did not do, and the best that can be
said of their cruel indifference and neglect
in the matter is that it is entirely consist
ent with the entire war record of the War
Department, which is one of criminally
gross incompetence, of sordid political
jobbery in the form of political contracts
and appointments, as we'll as of the most
callous and cruel neglect of the brave,
patriotic men who volunteered for the
honor of the country"
The goldbug papers, which are the most
servile tools of the money oligarchy, are
doing their best to protect Mckinley but
it is self evident that he is the most deeply
guilty concerned. He never should have
allowed himself to be surrounded by such
pack as Alger has gathered together in
the War Department. Mckinley is the
weakest and least competent man that
ever was foisted into the presidential
chair. In peaceful times when every
thing moves along quietly any ordinary
man can get along fairly we'll administer
ing the Presidential office. The govern
ment may be said to run ITSELF but in a
time that demands executive ability and
decision of character, such men as Nc
Kinley are exposed to the shame and
indignation of the people. The money
oligarchy, controlling through their
banks the giant corporations, trusts and
cliques, selected Mckinley as the man
they could most easily use. They held a
mortgage on him and all he represented,
personal and real, moral and political,
and that oligarchy runs the White House
and uses the President as an automaton
If this is not SO why does not Mckinley
turn Alger out? Alger is greater than
Mckinley, who is the weakest man in
the Administration.

Roosevelt for Governor.

Teddy Roosevelt was nominated
by the Republicans last Tuesday
for Governor of New York, on his
war record. If elected the party
will commence grooming him for
their Presidential candidate and
Mckinley will be dropped. Teddy's
war record has carried him up
while McKinley's war record under
Alger management has carried him
down. Either will answer the gold
bug banking trust of the United
States and London equally well,
the choice only being for the can,
didate that may serve best to shut
up the American eye. That is all
goldbugism is studying.

Administration and Banks VS.. People

The administration has sold bonds and
levied new taxes till $235, 1000, 900 gold has
accumulated in the treasury, and Mr..
Gage proposes to ask Congress to en-
power him to pay out 500. 900, 900 of gold
coin to the banks for the same amount OF
greenbacks and destroy the greenbacks,
in order that the banks may issuei $780,
100000 of their notes based on the gold
and their assets. In plain English the
people are to lose 500, 900, 900 in taxes to
replace the greenbacks in order that the
banks shall be enabled to issue $4oo, 900,
600 of their paper to tax the people with
interest, and empower the hanks to more
completely control the business and pol
itics of the country.

Falling Prices.

Falling prices are an industrial, eco
nomic, political and social evil of almost
unparalleled proportions. They discour-
age industries, drive money from activity
into idleness, from the channels of trade
into bank vaults, reduce wages and throw
laborers out of employment, make prop.
erty unproductive and therefore worthless,
destroy equities, increase the burden oil
taxes and all fixed charges, ruin debtors,
pile up wealth in the hands of the few,
and encourage the formation Of trusts,
monopolies and combines.

Typhoid fever is generated by
filth which spreads the contagious
disease, and isolation and sanitation
are resorted to to check the disease
and prevent its spreading through
a community.
A whiskey shop spreads the al
cOholic disease, which is as clearly
defined and pronounced a disease
as typhoid, as difficult to cure, and
in addition to its epidemic char
acter becomes hereditary. If it is
the part of wisdom to quarantine to
prevent the spread of typhoid and
destroy its breeding places, is it not
both foolish and criminal to estab-
lish breeding places for the alco-
hOlic disease and thus aid its
spread?
Some half civilized, ignorant
people make savage resistance to
health officers who attempt to en-
force sanitary measures among
them, and good, Christian intelli-
gent people deplore the ignorance
and bigotry which induces the
benighted creatures to resist meas
ures adopted for their safety.
Are those ignorant, half savage
people nearly as culpable as the
defenders of the whiskey pestilence
in our midst who clamor for licens-
ing the sale of whiskey? The
whiskey traffic is the cause of al
most all the crime and moral de-
bauchery in the community.

A SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
Four Children Burned to Death in farewell.

A shocking accident occurred
on last Friday afternoon, on the
farm of Mr.. JOS. S. Gillespie in the
Cove. A house, occupied b. Mr..
Jas. Buchanan, an employee of
Mr.. GILLESPIE, was burned and his
four children persisted in the fire.
Mr.. Buchanan was at work on the
farm, and his wife having occasion
to 60 to a neighbors house about
half mile away, left the children,
fastening the door. From some
cause the house caught on fire dur
ing her absence. Mr.. jeff Gillespie
and Jas. Buchanan were at work
about a half mile away, and see
ing the flames, rushed as rapidly
as possible to the honse, but when
they reached it the house was al.
most entirely consumed, aud the
bodies of the children reduced al
most to ashes. The oldest child
was about seven years of age, and
the youngest about six months.
From the position of the bodies it
was evident that the children, in
their attempt to save themselves
all ran to the farthest corner of
the house, as the bodies, what was
left of them, were all close togeth-
er. In this dreadful calamity the
poor parents have the sympathy
of every one.

Grocery Argument.

We consider it a duty of every grocer
to sell good and wholesome things to eat.
But there are SO many limitations and
substitutes nOwadays-such fierce strug-
gle to sell things "cheap'-that the market
is Over-run with foods that will not stand
the test of scrutiny.
A grocer may be perfectly honest and
still sell unwhOlesOme foods. He NAV buy
goods that he believes to be ALBRIGHT. but
his lack of discrimination, and intimate
knowledge of the subject-his inexperience
in the business-prevents him from know
ing positively what he is buying and what
he is selling
We are putting forth every effort to
give our customers not only the best and
purest things to eat but to give them every
advantage in the way of low prices that our
extensive business makes possible. large
business like ours can buy cheap, because we
buy much, and from first hands,
We endeavor to keep our store in as
tidy a condition as the careful housewife
keeps her home.
The Best Food, Smallest Prices, Quail
ity Considered, is our motto
