ed the opportunity, to safeguard their
own interest through political action.
The Republican party has betrayed the
farmers of the United States and now
seeks again to deceive them with new
false promises. The only specific meas
ure for farm relief pledged by the Kan
sas CITY platform is increased tariff
duties. which experience shows cannot
be effective.
The economic equality of agriculture
with other industries may be promoted
by reducing the tariff on manufactured
articles consumed by farmers; by a
system of export debentures, or by the
adoption of the principle OF the Nc
Nary-Haugen bill. Such equality can
never be established by mercy raising
the tariff on importations OF products
which are grown in substantial surplus
above domestic requirements.
This convention should invite sup
port from farmers by declaring ad-
herence to these principles.
The mingled stupidity and audac1ty
which prompted the Kansas City con-
vention to boast prosperity evidenced
by inSolvent banks, bankrupt farmers
and merchants, and by millions of I'M
employed laborers, invite decisive poll
tical revolution. The farmers of the
West and Middle West will not support

Prosperity Claim Disputed.
The false pretense underlying the
republican claim of unusual nation
wide prosperity is more fully made APP
parent when 1t Is disclosed that every
financial panic the country has
experienced has occurred while
the Republican party was in
power. In 1869. when BLACK Friday"
cast its pail over the Nations business,
the Republican party was in control of
every branch of the government. The
panic of 1873. eliminating in the hard
est times the American people ever
went through. came during the adj
ministrations of Presidents Grant and
Hayes The election of Grover Cleve-
land in 1884 resulted from a political
revulsion induced by distress in every
sphere of business. The panic of 1892
originated during President Harrison's
administration and was prominent
factor in the second election of Mr..
Cleveland.
When the financial disaster of 1907
took place the Republican party had
been in full power throughout the 10
preceding years. Millions were thrown
out of work, bread lines were formed
and soup houses established In every
city of the United States.

party to wet platform has alarmed
many Southern Democrats who favor
the continuance of prohibition because
of the evidence of its economic and
moral value in the progress of the
South. To ignore the practical political
aspect of this question Is to invite and
encourage division in our ranks and to
submerge these fundamental issues for
which we can unite and labor in con-
cert.
Would, Not ALLEVIATE Voters.
Let 1t be remembered as the Congress
Is now constituted, and as it will be
composed for many years, there appears
no likelihood of repeal or notification
Of the eighteenth amendment. The
only important practical result to be ex-
pected from wet platform Is that 1t
may drive out of the party many who
favor prohibition and are unwilling TO
Yield their views upon the subject.
Democrats are united for the destruc-
ton of corruption and for the promo
ton Of honesty in governmental affairs.
We are united in purpose to enforce
in good faith the Constitution and
laws; to protect honest business enter
prises against the unfair and oppres-
sive methods of monopolies; to assure
relief, too long delayed, to the great
agricultural interests of the Nation, to
which the Republican party has
brought bankruptcy and ruin.
Respecting these important subjects
there need be no division of sentiment
among Democrats. we of the South
are happy to have national Demo-
cratic convention assemble in this typ
ically Southern city. It has often been
said that Democrats in convention can
be relied upon to offset the plumbers
and to heal the self-infiicted wounds
of the Republican party. Let us dis
appoint the expectation of our adver-
saries and realize the hopes of faithful
Democrats throughout the Nation who
look to us for the exercise of prudence
and wisdom We must demonstrate
willingness to enter into honorable

before has there existed such discon-

They attribute their distressed con-
dition to the policies of the Republican
party Why should farmers be COM
PEELED to sell their products in the
open markets of the world, and to buy

Palmnicken, East Prussia, May 1.

Palmnicken. East Prussia, May I. -LN-With frost out Of the ground, ouarrying for amber has started again at the great Prusslan amber mining works here only plant Of its kind in the world.
 Palmnicken lives on amber. The whole village of 800 people IS en- ployed in the plant.
 Amber. "Prussian gold" was trad ed at this little spot on the Baltic coast with the ancient Phoenlcians' Fishermen dredged for 1t in earlier days, but more recently 1t has been dug out Of the blue clay.
 Great hoppers bring up cars of clay from an area square mile Tn extent. The clay Is washed for amber in much the same way as aurlterous earth Is washed for gold. Each sea- son about 5000, 900 cubic meters Of soil are moved.
 Amber is found in clusters. The pieces are picked out and washed with sand in great revolving drums. An army o. girls sits at running band and picks out six recognized standard qualities
 Every year the crop runs to about le5,o pounds but only one third of this is suitable for beads and ornaments. The rest is ground to powder to make pressed" amber, or melted down to make varnish and colophony. Amber oil and acid are by-products obtained by distillation
 Pieces of seven or eight pounds weight are not rare, but the biggest single lump ever found here weighed about 15 pounds.
 Tn the laboratory, pieces of amber of all shades and sizes are kept bright amber, pale yellow amber. dark amber and milky amber, plain and with flies, bugs or tiny leaves imbedded In them. dating from the tertiary period when coniferous for ests flourished here in sub-tropical climate.
 The most valuable amber bears the quaint name of ''sauerkraut' be- cause 1t Is of a pale yellow tinge and has markings suggesting strands of cut cabbage.
