In order to understand the rupture
Of the democratic and conservative par
ties of Alabama. which occurred in
S92 and continued unhealed for sew
erdl years, the disturbing cause must
be understood.
Democrats of 1874 now divided. The
two parts were organized respectively
as the Farmers alliance and the Regu-
lars. The argument of the alliance was,
in it's foundation, demand for an in
crease of the circulating medium 10
correspond with increase of population
and products of industry ready for
market 1t was argued that a scanty
of money had made money high and Ia
Dor low.
This demand appeared in it's initial
by calling for a repeal of the act of
1873, which dropped the silver dolla'
riece from the coinage; repeal of the
Sland- Allison act of 1873 which, in re-
storing the coinage of the dollar piece,
li1ai ed the annual amount of coin
age of that paper. and the re-
vivs of the act of 1885, in
tied coinage of both metals at the ratio
oil 10 ounces OIL silver 10 one VI Soiu-
To this demand the regulars replied
that the record of the democracy, state
and national, was fair to look upon;
that the democratic Congress under An
drew jackson had enacted the 16 to
free coinage act; that the democratic
House of 1878 voted to restore free
coinages at 16 to l that the democratic
House of 1889 had sent in free coinage
bill, 16 to l to the Senate.
| The republican Senate of 1889 amend
ed this last named House free coinage
bill so as to impair or destroy its
force.
That portion of the Alabama idemoe-
racy of 1874 now alliance men grew
doubtful of the anti-coinage laws and
of tLe low state of general industry
Cotton that sold for $50 the bale in
1873 when the silver dollar was dropped
from the coinage sold for $50 in 1883
,shsn Congress refused to restore the
ancient coinage laws
The producing classes universally
we're in distress In 1892. The census Of
1890 showed 67,000,000 population.
Twenty four thousand then owned half
the wealth of the country. In the win
ter of 1S90-91 while coal miners in the
eastern states received wages too low
to feed their families. farmers in Kan
sas received prices for their corn too
low to pay the cost of production and
used the grain for domestic fuel. This
ritter saw horses weighing 1000
pounds, young and broke, brought by
the carload to Birmingham and sold at
$17 to $25 by the head.

Planning the Vegetable Garden
| Our limited space will only permit very
\ brief instructions on planting the various
kinds of seeds. AS a general rule in
planting the school garden plots, the rows
| for vegetable seeds should be a foot
apart, and the seeds covered from a quar-
ter to one inch deep according to the
size of the seed.
After the seeds are covered, if the soil
is not too moist. it should be pressed
down firmly with the hand, or patted
down with the back of a shovel. Some
instructors recommend tramping on the
row, which is all right provided the soil
| Is comparatively dry, otherwise it will
| leave the soil too solid, and retard ger
mination
| The following vegetables should be
| planted as early as the soil is In condi-
tion, VIZ; Beets, carrots early cabbage
| lettuce onions, parsnips, peas, radish and
| splhach. The following will not germl-
| nate until the soil is warmer, and should

WHENCE THE SECOND WIND
explanation Of Condition With Which
All Athletes Must Be Thor
oughly Familiar.

The probable explanation OF sec.
ond wind" is as follows:
In the deep breathing of an athletic
person taking moderate exercise at
sea level. lack Of oxygen plays no
part. The effect is wholly due to an
increased production of carbonic acid
stimulating the respiratory center,
which responds proportionately. On
very violent exertion at sea level, how.
ever, and on even moderate exertion
at a great altitude. the oxygen supply
to the tissues Of the body Is temporar-
lily insufficient Substances other than
carbonic acid, such as Tactic acid,
are produced, and when these sub.
stances reach the respiratory center
by the way Of the blood. they excite it
to such activity that one overbreathes.
That Is. the violent painting ventilates
the carbonic acid out of the blood
more rapidly than the body is produc.
ing it. The substances which thus
overstimulate the respiratory center
are not volatile and cannot be given
off by way of the lungs, but they ap-
pear to be rather rapidly oxidized in
the blood. When the carbonic acid has
been considerably diminished a part
of the stimulus to the respiratory CEN
ter is removed, so that one can
breathe more moderately; that Is, one
gets his second wind" When the ex.
ertion stops. the production Of the
stimulating substances ceases, and the
quantity Of carbonic acid in the blood
having been reduced below the amount
necessary to stimulate the respiratory
center, one falls into a period Of
apnoea. followed by Cheyne-Stokes
breathing. like an engine with a sen.
sitive governor and no fly-wheel.
Breathing oxygen under these condi.
lions hastens the combustion of the
acid substances which have accumu-
lated in the blood.
