HICKS FOR JUNE.

We shall not be surprised 10 hear of
touchss Of frost far northward about the 18th
to the 14.th
A regular stoim period is central on the
10Th covering the 14th to 18th. By tho 10Th,
the date Of moons crossing the celestial
equator, O marked change to warmer will
set In to the west, with falling barometer
and rapid development Of active storm areas
During the 10th, 18th and 18th these con-
ditions will grow In extent and intensity,
causing many storms OF vely marked light
ming, thunder, rain and hail in their west
ward passage over the country. Daily
squalls Of showers and wind with electrical
displays around the heavens during thu
evenings, and often throughout the night
are the regular and normal results during a.
this part OF June.
Upon the whole we predict that June will
bring ample rains to most parts OF tn
country, with too much, perhaps, in man.
central to southern sections. We fear tina
much Of the western to northwestern part
Of the country will begin TO feel by the ent
OF June lack OF rainfall, which will b.
severely felt during the following months o
summer and autumn. We believe that thos
who plan for such conditions, especially II
that part Of the country, will best conssrv
their resources and interests.
We admonish all haymekers and harves
ters that June showers will jeopardize thei
crops unless great care Is taken As to time
Of cutting and manner of protecting. Real
with full force and speed, promptly as tn
rising barometer succeeds storm areas AM
put into secure shape before the oncominI
OF the next storm cycle.

MORTGAGES ON FARMS.

According to the census OF 1890, the
whole number Of persons in the United
s ates, including farmers and others,
whose homes were mortgaged was /,
696,S9O. The aggregate of all the
mortgages on the homes of the people
OF the United States was $685. 49,-
566. BY the reduction Of the value Of
farm products by the reduction OF the
prices Of labor, and the actual loss of
,abor by lack of employment, twice the
labor forces are required to pay the
above aggregate of home mortgage in
dsbtedness as was required in 1873,
which has been equivalent to making
the aggregate Of home mortgage in
debtednesa in the United States at
at this present time the enormous sum
Of %. 2s5, s99, l2s.No wonder our nation
is wrenched and shaken to its very
foundations. Hundreds OF thousands
OF mortgsged homes have been lost to
the owners as the result OF United
tates laws approaching the value Of
IL ney and deprecisting the values Of
property.

NEXT YEARS PLATFOAM.

In 1896, when we made the fight
against the gold standard, we predict
ed that the triumph of Nc Kinley would
mean at least four years OF trust rule
In reality it was not the gold standT
that we were fighting, but the deplo:a-
BILE conditions that it was, ard still is
bringing about in this country. We
believed that the free coinage OF silver
at the ratio of 16 to and the abolition
of national banks of issue would be
necessary in order to check the tide OF
industrial ruin that set in when silver
was demonetizsd in 1873,
Our predictions have come true
with regard to what was to folio" the
election Of Mckinley. Nearly every
article of consumption now produced
is controlled by trust. More than
ever have the people begun to realize
that they are at the mercy Of the great
octopus Swallowed in tie Apocalypse!
To-day the cry Of the people is
against tho trusts, and the "great met
ropolitan" papers have taken up the
refrain.
There is danger ahead, though.
The Democratic party must land
willy fight the trusts as it fought them
in 1896 by naming a specific cure.
Mere TRADING against the trusts means
nothing. Evil influences are now at
work with view Of having the Demo
cratic party adopt such egative policy
They must not be deceived into the be-
lief that there is even, the remotest
possibility of a modification Of the plat
form of 1896.
A national platform that would make
a general charge against trusts and at
the lame time not offer specific rem
edy would be dreadful fraud against
the people. The Democratic National
Convention of 1900 will commit no
such blunder. 1t will point out the
specific remedy for trusts viz:
Bimetallism at the ratio as it exist
ed prior to 1873.
The abolition Of national banks Of
issue.
A modification of the tariff so as to
totally eliminate special privileges.
This is the platform Of 1896 over
again. There will be no meaningless
campaign against trusts.
OF course the Democratic party is
opposed to Imperialism, and no party
win dare to favor such policy. Con-
sequently it is not likely that any am
munition will be wasted fighting =
danger that hardly exists.
Of course the retention of a stand
ing army in times Of peace will be OPP
posed by the Democrats, as will the
secret alliance with England.
