Bourbon county farmers are COM
planning of the inroads and damage
done to tobacco by rust and wildfire,
which have again made their appear
ance in many fields. 1t is said that
the crops affected will be almost a
total loss, and that the damage done
will amount to several thousand dol
lars.
A large stalk of the infected to-
bacco taken from a crop of ten acres
on the farm of John Redmon, near
Paris, is on exhibition in the window
at the Paris Billiard Co.'S place of
business, at the corner of Fourth and
Main. To the layman the rust
may mean little, but to the expert
enced tobacco man, who knows of the
damage it can wreak, it signifies al
most ruin. Those who have been
reading of the prevalence of rust
and "wildfire" in tobacco fields, can
get good idea of their meaning by
inspecting this stalk of tobacco.

This is free silver editorial Of the sixteen to

that particular policy. But ii be forgotten
that for many years the business of the Occdent
have been allowing hundreds of millions of silver slip
out Of their hands the hands of the japanese the
Chinese the East Indians and the Straits Settlement
people.
Now it happens that for ages at least one half of
the world. roughly estimated has chung the silver
medium of exchange. For purposes of for pur-
poses OF trade III times OF peace the white metal
tent with half the human is the yellow metal with
the other half. There be among the hundreds
of millions Of the socacd inferior who really pre-
fer gold but the other hand perhaps orty Of the
individuals the carthS surface live and die without
having piece of gold; without having held

In the OF something like a war breaking out
between the peoples of the Orient and the peoples of the

boarding the gold and not the silver would quickly be

For these and for many other reasons it is worth
while stop to inquire whether the United States and
the Allies of Europe not making big bunder by al
lowing much of the silver slip through their hands
into the hands of the Oriental peoples 1t is idle to say
that these immense movements of silver to Japan, to
China and to India cannot be prevented Where there
always will there is way If the movement of large
quantities of gold can be stopped why not the
of large quantities of silver!
