turn to matters of domestic con
Germ. You already have under cOnsid
Grafton II bill for the reform of sAlr
which the country waits with impa
tienre us for something fundamental
to its whole business life and necessa
~ to set credit free from arbitrary
and artificial restraints. need not
say how earnestly hope for its early
enactment into law. | take leave to
beg that the whole energy and atten-
ton of the senate be concentrated
upon it till the matter Ia successfully
disposed Of. And yet | feel that the
bers of that great house need 10 urg-
ing in this service to the country.
present to you in addition the ur.
gent necessity that special provision
be made also for facilitating the credits
needed by the farmers Of the country.
The pending currency bill does the
farmers a great service. 1t puts them
upon an equal footing with other bust
ness men and masters Of enterprise, as
it should. and upon Its passage they
will find themselves quit Of many of
the difficulties which now hamper them
In the field Of credit The farmers of
course ask and should be given no spe-
cial privilege, such as extending to
itself. What they need and should OBJ
tain is legislation which will make
their own abundant and substantial
credit resources available as foun-
dation for joint, concerted. local ac-
ton in their own behalf in getting the
capital they must use. 1t is to this we
should now address ourselves.
1t has, singularly enough. come to
pass that we have allowed the indus
try of our farms to lag behind the
other activities of the country in its
development need not stop to tell
vou how fundamental to the life OF the
nation is the production OF its tOod.
Our thoughts may ordinarily be con-
centrated upon the cities and the hives
OF industry, upon the cries Of the
crowded market place and the clangor
Of the factory, but it is from the quiet
interspaceS of the open valleys and the
free hillsides that we draw the sources
of life and Of prosperity. from the
farm and the ranch. from the forest
and the mine. Without these every
street would be silent, every office de-
serted, every factory fallen Into disre-
pair.
And yet the farmer does not stand
upon the same footing with the fores-
ter and the miner In the market of
credit. He is the servant of the sea-
sons. Nature determines how long be
must wait for his crops and will not
be hurried In her processes. He may
give his note. but the season Of its
maturity depends upon the season
when his crop natures and lies at the
gates Of the market where his prod.
ucts are sold. And the security he
gives is of character not known in
the brokers' office or as Familiarity as
II might be OH the counter Of the
bunker.

Jacksonville is to have new daily
paper and the Metropolis receives the
news and comments by publishing the
inscriptions on the headstones in the
city newspaper cemetery. Such com
ments for the purpose of discoura-
ging competition are the stock in
trade of many newspapers, but they
forget that there is always room at
the top-for the right kind of a man
or enterprise. Jacksonville is a big
and growing city and an evening or
morning paper that endorsed demo-
cratic principles and went to work
with will for those principles would
soon become power in that city and
the state. The top" in Jacksonville
has long been unoccupied.

Congressman Claude L'Engle has
announced that he will be a candidate
for denomination to Congress from
the new Fourth district, or the State
at-large, just as the State dmeocraCic
executive committee decides. OF
course he will have lots of oppc 81
tion; in fact that opposition long
since began to develop with Joe Sears
of Kissimmee and Chase of jackson
vile and few others who will
fish for the corporation support. Bl,
if the people Of the new FoIrth dis
trict want some one other than
Claude L'Engle to represent them in
the next congress thHy will have to
trOt out a man whose skirts are clean
Of corporate control. Mr. I.'Engle is
probably not as strong in the coun-
ties making up the new Fourth dis
trict as he is in some of the other
counties of the state, but he is strong
enough to win by a good plurality
over two or three candidates like
those above named. It is going to
take a strong man and united pull
of the opposition to beat L'Engle.

MONEY IN COLOMBIA.
A Dollar of That Country Is Worth
Just a Cent of Our Currency.


Money in Colombia is rather I'M
stable institution. and big figures do
not always mean much. 1t may be
just as well to mention here that when
| paid $50 to ride the seventeen miles
from Savanilla to Barranquilla | was
not guilty of such reckless eXtrava-
gance as may at first glance appear;
also that when the agent M the latter
place charged me $40 for riding back
The same way and in the same car he
merely suffered from an astonishing
lapse of memory, forgetting for the
moment that he needed the money.
The fact is that the Colombian dol
lar, or peso, has deprecated until it is
worth just exactly l cent in United
States currency, and there being no
room left for the centavO of old it has
vanished utterly from the reckoning
of man. There are no silver coins
whatever and after little bargaining
one is apt to accumulate an astonish-
ing number of yellow bills-tenS, TWEEN
ties, tiftieS and hundreds. Then there
