AS one democratic state convention
after another meets and demands free
trade, a debased currency and other
business destroyers, sensitive business
will begin to become nervous and timid
capital will become cautious. All lines
OF production and commerce will be
affected detrimentally and there will
te a check to the magnificent progress
Of prosperity prevailing at present and
in the recent past There is no chance
of these democratic eparalyzers be-
ing able to actually inaugurate a
panic; but as trade is cautious and sen.
sitive they will do harm. The fear oI
democratic triumph always does par
alyze business; while a republican vic
tory as Invariably revives it.

went TO the convention
On Tuesday afternoon,
Where victims were selected
To go away in June
.Of course they will be seated.
For Roberts told me straight
They'll be seated in a box car
And Addicks pays the freight
Some fellow dressed in store clothes
With a glove upon his hand,
Was attracting more attention
Than the leader of the band;
I asked Layton If he knew him.
Did he come from up the state?
He said that's Mr.. Addicks,
The man who pays the freight.
When Addcks was upon the stage,
The mourners crowded round
Like rats upon a sinking ship
Before she settles down.
He threw TO them a straw of hope,
When he said he'd stimulate
His party with the promise
That he would pay the freight
| A lawyer then got up and spoke,
A samaritan, 1 suppose;
or, rather like one, who stripped
The merchant Of his clothes.
| He told them lots Of funny jokes,
And to them he did state,
/ The reason he was there today
Was. Addicks pays the freight.
1.-THE mOurners were getting tired,
The air was getting stale,
SO Gales jumped upon the deck
And opened wide his sail
He was fighting for a principle,
And they couldn't eliminate
4 Him from Mr. Addicks
While Addicks paid the freight
THE services were over,
The mOurners all did pass
Before the owner of the show,
Whose halo was OF gas,
lThey promised to make him presiden
Or give him all the state,
If he'd always loose his purse strings
And always pay the freight.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.

The people in town and all along the route Of Rural free delivery are putting up boxes and are having their houses numbered, which will be of great help in the main office in Bridgeport and to the carrier, and will prevent in 8 great de- gree any mixing of the letters. The boxes which E. Seeley has (though only 75c) delivered seem to give satisfaction and more orders have been given for it than any others. The other boxes seem to be too high priced to suit the people. It is possible when the price of metal goes down there may be some other box invented which will be just the kind one wants at reasonable price. The grea { thing now is to keep the mail protected from wind and weather and K. tSeeley' B box will do it as there is close fitting door. It is one recommended in the book sent out by the government on Rural free delivery, page 84. They rapgein price from 75c up to 30 de- livered. The people seem to be we'll satisfied with the ones for 75c. Page 103 seems to think the box mentioned there too small unless combined with wood, and no one wants to make 8 pox and buy one too.
