at cotton today-how much has the farm

tie. and only by few who were able to

no benefit at all on account of the rise
caused by speculation, trust and combines.
They say there is a deficit in our Treas

a surplus there? BY raising the valuation
on land for taxes! Oh yes, land must pay
this debt, and not the railroads and rich
trusts and combines. No, no. you can't

will demoralize business-we viii shut

1. It navs. Last year the public real
lied five thousand dollars net from the
dispensary. The total amount realized by
the public from the SIX saloons which
were here before the dispensary was
twelve hundred dollars per annum; so
that from the low view point OF dollars
and cents the dispensary beats the sa-
loon four to one.

To Extend age Limit.

The question of the employment of
young children in factories is one that
will not down. The best sentiment of the
country is in favor of gradually raising
the age, so as not to deny employment
to those already dependent upon such
work and not to create any labor disar-
rangement in the factories.
At the meeting of the Southern Assoc
citation of Hosiery Manufacturers IN Ashe-
vile this week, an address was delivered
by Mr. Charles Chapman. retired mer-
chant of Germantown, Pa, who represent
ed the firms of Charles Chapman Sons, of
Easton, Pa, and Chapman Holton, of
Hamilton. Canada, which contained much
wisdom. From the concluding portion OF
the address we make the following ex-
tract:
I'VE strongly recommend raising the
standard of age limit for child labor to
at least IA years, and offer the following
suggestion in behalf of poor children for
the thoughtful consideration OF some phil
anthropist, who may be interested in their
future welfare, education and happiness.

consumed by the regulars for the
reason that the hard cash must be paid
or delivery. You can not run your face
at the dispensary. The writer heard an
inveterate drinker, and one who was Bit
terly opposed to the dispensary, say that
he did not drink anything like as much
whiskey since the dispensary was estab-
lished as he did before in the same
length of time, for the sufficient reason
that it frequently happened that when he
wanted to drink he did not have the
money; and as he could not buy the
whiskey on credit, he simply had to go
without. short time before the dis
pensary was established / was in a gentle
mans place Of business in this town when
a saloon keeper sent in bill for eight
dollars. The man said that he supposed
it must be all right, but that he did not
know. He then explained to me that q
few nights before he had spent several
hours in the saloon ordering drinks free
ly for himself and his friends, and the
eight dollar bill was the result. Now this
could not have happened under the dis
pensaEy system, because (a) the man
could not have been in a saloon; OBJ the
dispensary is not open at night; (c) no
drinking in the dispensary is allowed; I'D
no man is in cold blood going to order
eight dollars worth of whiskey and pay
cash for it, for one treat.

earners, those men who work hard all the
week and so frequently spend a large por-
ton of their earnings on Saturday
night debauch in a saloon The falling off
of this habit, especially among the col
ored people, has been remarkable, and
there has been saved to the wage Garner

self-respect

the dispensary marks the passing of the

saloon the ring has nothing to hang on,
nothing to feed on. 1t starves to death

orders from headquarters to put up the
valuation of land, the source from winch
all wealth comes. Do they instruct the
assessors to raise the value OF goods

money on hand or in bank, or solvent
credits? No, not at all. They stand as
before. There is but little effort made to
raise the property of corporations, trusts
and combines. If their property is assess
ed up little, it goes into the courts,
and that is about the last of it. There is
some disposition to increase some kinds
of personal property. but who does the
most of that class of property belong to-?

living. and but very few get rich. The

BRYAN ON ORATORY
There are Two Things Also
IuteIy Essential.
The Speaker Must Know What He is Talking
About and He Must Mean What
IL c..
Tobacco Warehouseman



What Mr. William j. Bryan has to say
on the subject of oratory, we all listen to,
hats off, respectfully. OF all living Amerl-
cans, he knows the art most fully. He
has the inspiration and he knows how to
use it. The man who by single speech
can swerve great national political par
ty from its faith and its traditions, can
capture its nomination for the Presidency,
and can hold five millions of enthusiastic
voters at the polls, has the power which
we call eloquence.
In his paper, the Commoner, Mr.. Bryan
undertakes to expound the secret of the
art. 1t must be said that his ideas are
of the highest, as well as the most prac-
teal There are two things" he says,
absolutely essential to eloquence. First,
the speaker must know what he is talk
| ing about, and. second, he must mean
what he says. Nothing can take the place
OF knowledge Of the subject and earnest
ness. To these other things can be added.
such as clearness of statement, felicity Of
expression, aptncss in illustration, beauty
in ornamentation, and grace in delivery.
Eloquence is heart speaking to heart.
There is no mistaking the CRY of terror or
the shout Of joy, and so there is no mis-
understanding the sincere message that
passes from heart to heart.
This is the basis Of oratory Further,
and also fundamentally, there must be
moral courage; and courage rests upon
conviction. Then the orator must have
faith, faith in God, faith in the right
eousness Of his cause and faith in the ulti-
mate triumph of the truth. Believing that
right makes might, believing that every
word spoken for truth and every act done
in behalf of truth contributes to the final
victory, he does his duty more anxious
to help the cause which he espouses than
to enjoy the fruits of victory"
But when all is said it is the GSd-given
that makes the orator.
