nous pomposity, he might go to H - Hades; that 1 was there
 to protect myself and demanded the evidence against me. Upon which I was informed that I could not protect myself in that or any other court in Arkansas, but that would be held in jail until I paid 5000 and costs for contempt of court. Then by special permit of his Honor, the court, 1 might hire a lawyer to
 protect me. His Honor advised
 me to employ certain one he
 named if I could get him. But he doubted it as he was so well occupied by rich clients and i'm
 pOrtant cases and that he could
 hardly be induced to take so
 poor and doubtful case as mine
 But no sooner was it known that
 l wanted lawyer, than they be-
 gan buzzing around and out of the hungry throng, I chose one
 who wanted $100.OO to take the case. I told him, I could and
 would not pay but 5000 and he closed with me. I gave him a
 bottle of my very best Wild Cal" after which he told me that there was but little to be done to clear me. If I had $10.
 to give the prosecuting attorney and another bottle for the judge, he was sure there would be no cause for prosecution which I agreed to. My lawyer spoke a few words to the prosecuting attorney and passed a note to him. He went behind the judges desk and passed him something. The judge stopped down behind his desk and I heard a gurgling noise, then he raised up some what out of breath and tears streaming down his cheeks. (That "Wild Cat" was double strong.) He raised up and stated that he had looked into my case and as the state had withdrawn the charge that he fully and free ly discharged the case and went

on to say that he was sorry that it so often happens that some of our best lawabiding citizens were forced before the courts on a trumped up charge and that he would love to be able to get the names of all men guilty of bring ing such lies and he would learn them a lesson and further he was convinced that I had intend ed no contempt of court and as sured the court by my after acts had convinced him, he therefore ordered my 5000 to be refund ed. He bade me good bye and invited me to come again.

ies tremble with fear. (Now is not this about as big a case of hi falutin bosh" as you ever heard ) The terms of American liberty indicate that every citizen is in his own rights a monarch and that there are no Lords and masters and that they hire certain men to fill certain positions for certain lenghs of time at certain wages and the law defines the duties they shall perform. Now this makes us feel "big" and if we see a stranger, we strut around him with our bare feet and one suspender to impress him more fully proclaim to him the wonder and importance of our great American liberty. Just to prove to his benighted mind that we are lords in disguise; that one man is just as high and good in America as another, if not a good deal better.
 But now just for the fun of it, let me change the scene. It is beautiful spring morning and we are drawing into our lungs a few gallons of the air of liberty right

and eats the shapes as fast as they appear.
 | Now the question comes up what will the harvest be? The answer is distress and disap- pointment. We claim that MT. Credit is the father of Mr. Mort gage. This son was born to him in his old age and he has givenh1s boy a coat of many colors, but unlike Joseph, he has no breth- ren. So there is no danger of his being sold into slavery.
 Now we will call up Mir. Mort gage again and the first thing we want to say is this, that the man who sells his wares and mer- chandise under this iron clad system becomes a tyrant and a dictator. He tells the poor man exactly what he may do and what he may not do. He sends his agents over the land to see how the crop is cultivated. He weighs and measures all you have to sell and all you have to buy and sets the price in both cases. He watches the crop from the bloom to the gin and from there to his own door. He then names the price and does the weighing and notwithstand- ing the fact that he has read that false balance is an abominatlon to the Lord, he says who is the Lord, that I should serve him or who is the Almighty, that I should fear him? Now we would ask was ever an Egyptian task master more rigid or exactine? Answer the question, ye peons and SerfS.
 We are aware of the fact that when the credit system is threatened with death, the man who sells his goods under the pad lock system, sees at once that his craft is in danger and like the Ephesians they would run together and stop their ears and cry with a loud voice, great is Dianna of the Ephesians.
 Let our legislature meet and repeal all the collecting laws on our statue books except for tax es. Let the new law take effect one year after passage. Let the people prepare themselves for cash basis. Mr. Mortgage would die of grief, the small merchant that sells for cash would flourish as a tree planted by the rivers. of waters. The poor man would eat the fruit of his own vine, the morning stars would sing together for joy, the wilderness and the solitary places would be made glad and the desert would blossom as the rose. Yours for a better day,

CAUSE AND EFFECT.
Continued From Last Issue.)

Does any one suppose Tor a moment that he returns to his work fired up with new energy and light heart? Is it at all surprising that the hired man learns to work for fat meat and sunshine We think not, but we are not done with MT. Mortgage yet. We claim that it is debase- ing in it's influence that it takes all the manhood and dignity out of the man and why do we say this? Because, the man who tells you that you must mort gage, tells you plainly that you have neither honor or credit and so the man is forced to look upon himself as a fugitive and a vaga- bond. But some one is ready to say you are putting that too strong. But we reply that it is a well known fact that you may take boy and accuse him of be- ing thief and liar and if you will keep that up, you will shape his life just that way and it is also an established fact that bad laws make bad men.
 There is yet another charge to bring against MT. Mortgage, that is this, that-he takes re ward against the innocent. Now to explain, we find man with a large family that he must sup port, but he has not the means at hand and so the pony has to go nnder mortgage. The man $ intentions and motives are all good and often the papers are all fixed up. He goes to town in company with his neigh bor who buys for cash. They each buy a barrel of four. The cash man goes to cash dealer and pays $4.0O for his flour; the other man goes to his mortgagee and pays $7.OO for the same grade of flour. Now we would ask in all can der, Is not that taking a reward against the innocent? We have one other charge to bring against MT. Mortgage and then we will let him rest for the time being.
 We charge that he is an op- presSOr of the dumb brute and why, because his former owner has no further interest in him as his own property after he sees that the crop is short and that the mule must pass into the hands of the merchant. He is left to shift for his living and we remember seeing at one time 35 mules in one merchant s lot that were so poor that it almost took two of them to make one shadow.
 Now it will not take long to dispose of Mr. Credit and the first thing we have to say of him is that he ought to be killed so dead that the trumpet of the last day would not resorect him.
 We'll, some one is ready to say that the people would starve to death. We are willing to admit that it would work a hardship on the poor for one year but we be- lieve that all would squeeze through some way and we feel sure that the death of credit would beget a state of industry. economy and thrift that would tell well on the destiny of this and other generations to come.
 Let us illustrate the point we wish to make here. Suppose we prepare piece of ground in the spring and plant it in vines and l as fast as the shapes make their we pull them off and eat them. Would we ever get any ripe melons. The answer is exceedingly plain and thus it is with the man who lives 0n credit. He puts a mortgage

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, Aug 22.-Vicious and savage
trading characterized the business on the
Board of trade today. st. Louis shorts
in corn and wheat were punished Sc
verely. There was nothing particularly
bullish in the early news, but yester-
days exceptional bulge in corn frightened
the corn shorts and at the opening there
was wild rush to get under cover. After
prices all around had been boosted TO
figures to suit the big holders, manipu-
lation made prices jump back and forth
erratically. In the end the shorts suf-
fered. the local longs secured fancy profits
for their holding and prices closed weak
or. September corn closed unchanged;
December &c lower, September wheat
1-SN1-4c down, September oats 10p1 1-Sc
off and September provisions suffered
loss OF 10 to zoe.
