But there are occasions Of public duty when these things which touch us privately seem very small, when the work to be done is so press ing and so frauSht with big conse- uuence that we know that we are not at liberty to weigh against 1t any point of personal sacrifice. We are now in the presence of such an occasion. It is absolutely imperative that we should give the business men of this country a banking and currency system by means of which they can make use Of the freedom of enterprise and of indi- vidual initiative which we are about to bes.ow upon them.
 
 Period of Expansion to Follow.
 We are about to set them free. We must not leave them without the tools of action when they are free. We are about to set them free by removing the trammels of the protective tariff. Ever since the civil war they have waited for this emancipation and for the free opportunities it will bring with it. It has been reserved for us to give it to them Some fell in love, indeed, with the slothful security of their dependence upon the govern ment; some took advantage of the shel ter of the nursery to set up a mimic mastery of their own within its walls.
 Now both the tonic and discipline of liberty and maturity are to ensue There will be some readjustments of purpose and point of view. There will follow period of expansion and new enterprise, freshly conceived It Is for us to determine now whether it shall be rapid and facile and of easy accom- plishment. This it cannot be unless the resourceful business men who are to deal with the new circumstances are to have at hand and ready for use the instrumentalitaes and conveniences of free enterprise which independent men need when acting on their own initiative

COTTON AND GUESSING.
Lafayette County Man Tells How to Avoid Failures in Farming
 in Arkansas.

Little Rock, Oct % Special .- George NJ. Williams of Buckner. Lafayette county, writing to Com missioner Page, says:
 If the farmers would cut their cotton acreage one-half and have more pastures and raise more feed and more to live on at home they would get along a great deal better. It looks like the farmers would get together some time. They buy fer tilizers and plant a big crop and then make a failure and come out behind in the fall and cuss the mer- chant, when the farmer is the whole cause of it. He can raise anything we want here from pea nuts to mules, and this is almost as good a cattle state as Texas. We have free range here in raising cat tle and hogs, and that is a great help. Hogs will die some time. and we have some dry weather. but we have never made a complete fail ure."
