THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.
Extract from the Financial Plank of
the Democratic Platform
of 1896.

"Recognizing that the money ques-
ton is paramount to all others at this
time, we invite attention to the fact that
the federal constitution names silver
and gold together as the money metals
of the United States, and that the first
coinage law passed by congress under
the constitution made the silver dollar
the monetary unit, and admitted gold
to free coinage at a ratio based upon the
silver unit. We declare that the act Of
1873 demonetizing silver without the
knowledge or approval of the American
people has resulted in the appreciation
of gold and corresponding fall in the
prices of commodities produced by the
people; heavy increase in the burden
of taxation, and of all debts, public and
private; the enrichment of the money
lending class at home and abroad, pros
tration of industries and impoverish-
ment of the people. We are unalterably
opposed to monometallism, which has
locked fast the prosperity of an indus
trial people in the paralysis of hard
times. Gold monometallism is British
policy and it's adoption has brought our
nation into financial servitude to Lon
don. 1t is not only un-American but
anti-American, and it can be fastened
on the United States only by the sitting
OF that spirit and love of liberty which
proclaimed our political independence
in 1776 and won it in the war of the revo-
lution.''

EITALIANIZING BEES
Fall II the Best Season for This Work
as Queens Can Then BE
.r.- <~s"~ Had CheaplY.

Autumn is the best time to 1ta1ianize
bees. Queens can be secured at half
price during the fall months, and by
thus changing queens we have the ad-
vantage Of the Italian stock the follow
ing spring. We can successfully intro
duce queens during the fall months as
long rs the weather is warm enough to
handle bees. At the price queens can be
bought for now it almost pays to re-
queen every colony that has queens
over one year old, with young queens
OF the present seasons raising.
Young queens introduced now will
produce good supply of late bees that
will Withstand the winter and, as a
result, will come out strong in the
spring. Young queens will, as rule,
lay a good supply of eggs during the
fall months, when old queens will cease
laying entirely in midsummer unless
there is an unusual flow of honey late
in the season or they are supplied with
feed.
The usual course pursued in chang
ing queens, or introducing the same is,
first remove the old queen; and it is
preferable to place her in a cage and
preserve her until the new queen is
safely introduced and laying. If any
mishap occurs to the new queen the
old one can be returned. In fran {
hives 1T is an easy matter to find the
queen by simply lifting out the frames
and carefully looking them over; the
queen being much larger than the
worker bees, is readily detected. In
other hives that are not movable frame,
or in common box hives, it is not i'm
possible. but they may be Italianized
also.-Natlonal Rural.

SUGAR FOR SOLDIERS.
Some Experiments Made in Germany
Prove Its Value as n Strength
lmpartinS Ration.

A paper was read recently at Metz,
Germany, by DIR. Leitensdorfer, at a
meeting of the local Army Surgeons
society, on the subject of the use of
sugar as food in the army. The lee
turer based his remarks upon personal
observations. In three companies of
soldiers ten men without means and of
weak constitution were used for the
tests, and ten stronger men to control
the same. Before the experiments be-
gan, the weight, pulse at rest and pulse
at work, and respiration were taken
for each individual. The stronger man
having a pulse at rest of 80 or less
showed an increase of to Is beats at
work; the weaker ones, when sub
jected to the identical exercise, showed
an increase as high as 80 beats above
80 or over.
The sugar men received seven, and
later on ten to twelve Jumps of sugar
a day, each lump being equal to five
grammes. In some cases the amount
was increased up to 81 grammes day.
The result of the experiemnt was the
AOAAO"A1S. LII SS1CAt1AS SCuSc 41FOA :
able influence upon the capacity of the
individual was shown at so to 60
grammes day, added to the regular
ration, the pulse and respiration being
lower while at work than with those not
fed on sugar, and then the men fed on
sugar showing an increase of weight
greater than those who did not eat the
sugar. The favorable influence of the
sugar upon the muscles and the heart
exhibited itself in greater endurance.
From a practical point of view it was
determined: 1. That men like sugar
and it agrees with them. 2. That sugar
satisfies both hunger and thirst. 8.
That sugar gives quick relief in case of
hunger, faintness and exhaustion, ow-
ing to the fact that it is easily alb
sorbed.
The Agricultural Society of France
on March 5, at the instance of it's presi-
dent, M. S. Tetard, resolved to request
the government to allow more impor-
tant place to sugar in the army rations.
The request has led to an order by the
minister of war to the corps command
ers to make experiments for the pur-
pose of determining if, and to what ex-
tent, the addition of sugar to the ration
would be profitable in the field.-Beet

HOW TO KILL THE TRUSTS.
Open the Mints Freely to the Coin
- age Of Both Gold and
Silver ;s;sNa -

0euatOr Jones mas the rlSnt 1uea
about the trust problem. He says there
would be no trusts if it were not for
the gold standard, a shrinking curren-
cy and falling prices. We are proud to
see the senator reechoing the senti-
ments expressed in this paper. The gold
wet nurse and midwife, of the trusts;
it is, in fact, the whole family, and the
way to get rid of the trust evil is to
end the greater evil of the gold stand
ard. Trusts are organized to sustain
prices, which have steadily declined
since 1878, because the annual supply of
currency was limited and contracted
by the unlawful demonetization Of sill
yer. The sole purpose of the gold stand
ard was to contract the volume of basic
money to a point where it could be cor
nered and controlled by men and COM
binations possessing large means, with
the fact we'll in mind that those who
control the worlds money are the
worlds masters. This is the whole
meaning and purpose of the gold stand-
ard, and it is so simple and plain that
anyone ought to understand it. An
other feature of the gold standard il
the impoverishment of the poor and the
artificial enrichment of the rich, by
which means the poor are made the de-
pendents and servants of the rich and
subjected to their will and pleasure.
The gold standard has almost complet-
ed its mission in this respect. It has
taken all the money away from the
people and concentrated it in vast
boards in the possession of the super
fluously rich. individuals among the
people can no longer get the means to
go into business, and consequently all
competition is confined to the big es-
Establishments, and these in turn COM
bine and organize themselves into
trusts and bring the people to their
knees in helpless serfdom. But the
people have the remedy in their own
hands if they will use it. They are still
permitted to vote. The ballot has not
yet been taken from them, as it will
be it they delay much longer. BY the
use of the ballot they can place man
in the presidents chair who will obey
the law and put silver on an equality
with gold. This will double the volume
of basic money already in existence and
increase to the same extent the annual
output. 1t will also enable the people
to supply themselves with money by
digging it out of the ground, regardless
of any action by government; and they
can use this money in establishing COM
petition and breaking down the trusts.
Let it be remembered that silver has
never been legally demonetized in this
country. Fraud vitiates all contracts
and renders null and void any law en-
acted by fraud, as the law demonetizing
silver was. Silver has lost none of it's
legal standing in this country, and all
that is needed to restore prosperity
among the. people is to place a man in
the presidents chair who will open the
mints freely to the coinage of both
gold and silver, as the law requires.
That will settle the trust problem, it
will restore our declining fortunes and
it will set the people free.-Mississippi
Valley Democrat.

Baling Glover In the Field.

1t is claimed that clover hay may be
baled in the field, but the experiments
made are not sufficient to show the ben
efits derived compared with storing
clover in the NOW. The clover is cut in
the morning, after it is free from dew or
rain, and when well wilted the hay ted
der is used, SO as to give it every chance
to cure. In the afternoon the hay is
baled and hauled to the barn. If this
method is practiced care must be exer-
cised in having the hay properly cured
and in just the proper condition for
baling, as baled clover is more liable to
heat than timothy or, other kinds.

Last year I raised 300 chicks, but

Make the Farm Home Happy.

Some farmers have wives whom they
work like slaves, and soon these once
fair specimens of Gods work grow gray
and wrinkled. If the drudgery contin-
ues, death follows and the farmer is left
wifeless. There is something in this
life to work for besides money. Wealth
is nice thing to have, but health is far
greater and more necessary. A man or
woman in good health is millionaire
though penniless. At the rate some
farm women go about their endless
tasks they are quite likely to lose the
latter and miss the former. Their
should be rest, recuperation and enjoy
ment in the farm home. It can be made
the happiest place on earth if its owner
so elects.-Farmers' Voice.

How to Destroy Vermin,

Do not try to poison rats until you
first bait them. To do SO place choice
food where they can get it. After awhile
they will cease to be suspicious and
will anticipate the regular time for
feeding. After they have found out
that you are their best friend, go to a
drug store and get some phosphorous
paste. Give them q double mess of food
with the phosphorous paste well mixed
in, and the chances are that you will
