For Free Silver.

I saw an article in the VISITOR .of May
21, entitled “Against Free Silver,” and the
first stunning argument presented is “That
all the advocates of free silver are sworn
enemies to progress. ” Now perhaps the
Republican party of the state of Wyoming
should be classed as enemies to progress,
when they met in convention and emphat-
ically instructed their delcgates for Me-
Kinley and free silver. I am satisfied that
that convention possessed more wisdom

' and are more in favor of progress and
prosperity than any mu; man or all who
make such a.cql1isiti()ns.

The predictions of our best statesmen
and politicians are, that thercis good reason
to believe that all the states west of the
Missouri river will go solid for silver next
.\'ovember: this does not agree with an-
other argument in said article, viz., that
all the /,r/zmrzzzzcc is in the free silver faction
and that enlightenment is fast becoming
fatal to the free silver cause. Another
grand argument presented is, that the peo-
ple are becoming informed and are fast
deserting the sinking ship. Now I insist
upon it, that all the argument in said arti-
cle referred to, when compared with the
doings of V\'yoming and other great west-
ern states is without foundation and not
reliable. Again the brother makes an ad-
mission or rather an assertion, which per-
haps he might better have omitted, that
the silver dollar is no fraud, but the free-
silverites would make it so. Then further
on‘, he says “I can conceive of no evil that
would be so menacing to a free people as
to place a debased, dishonest dollar in the
place of honest gold, and thereby repudiate
honest oblgations.” Oh Consistency, thou
art a jewel!

The State Grange is again attacked and
accused of prostitution and of bolstering
up a disreputable and dying issue; an issue
that will soon be in sweet repose with the
greenback doctrine. Perhaps the green-
back doctrine is dead, but the greenback
dollar is not, and we hear echoing back
from the old doctrine “V\'e stayed the
cremating hand, and saved the people of
this government three hundred forty—six
millions of dollars.” I have only this to
say to the Grange: “If I belonged to an

order that would vote sixty-four in favor
of, and only ten against, a principle that I
considered so debasing and so dangerous
to the nation under whose flag I sleep, I
would sever my connection with such order
at once and forever, and never again admit
that I ever belonged to such an organiza-
tion.”

He refers to what he says is called by
cranks, “the crime of seventy—three. ” We
will not call it a crime, as crime means
something punishable by law. I suppose he
refers to the denionetization act.’ Well let
us see. In 1873 congress passed an act
destroying the legal tender power of the
silver dollar. Then followed the Black
Friday picnic, and this was succeeded by
seven years of the hardest times the people
of America ever experienced. It took the
people five years to find out the cause of
the hard times: they eventually discovered
the cause was produced by the government
destroying all the greenbacks, except the
three hundred forty-six millions already
referred to. During the winter of 1878
and 1879 congress passed the Bland act,
which partially remonetized silver. It
also passed a bill to make silver certificates
and another to stop the further destruction
of greenbacks, (and this is where the old
greenback principle made itself felt, which
has already been mentioned). When these
laws wei'e carried into effect and the silver
and silver certificates put into circulation.
times became good again. Gold was forced
out and put in circulation, and from 1880
to 1892 we had a period of prosperity
never exceeded in this country.

In the summer of 1893, Mr. Cleveland
called an extra session of congress and in
accordance with Mr. Cleveland’s wishes it
disannulled the Sherman purchasing act.

and established the gold standard.

Since‘ that law was passed, times have
been getting worse and worse and worse,
until at the present time we are having a
business depression only equaled by that

The people are seeing the result of three
years’ experience and are bound to have a
change, and that is what the Grange is
working for.
for the bond holder and the money lender,
it is servitude and serfdoin for the laboring
man.

Now according to the comptroller‘s re-
ports there have not in the last three years
been less than nine hundred millions of
dollars in the vaults of the United States
treasury, and it might as well be in the
bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, as far as do-
ing the people any good is concerned. It
pays no interest, neither does it pay the
bonds, but it lies there dormant, and now
I want to ask this profound exponent to
place his finger upon a single instance
where any other civilized nation with over
nine hundred millions of dollars in their
treasur have to resort to bonding their
f_'()\'ei‘l1l)Ile!lt annually for from sixty—three
millions to one hundred millions to defray
ex enses, and that too in the time of pro-
fOlr1)l](l peace! But the gold standard of
values has driven this great nation of
wealth to just that kind of business.

Now our worthy brother closes with the
same argument that he has used all the
way through, and says he would not write
thus, but the good of the Grange is at
heart, and he hates to see any of its mem-
bers pursuing a fallacy and a fraud, there-
by disgracing our noble Order. We will
look at this last argument just a moment.
In the tirst place, we flatly refuse to take
such assertions asj7rcz‘.~', even though they
come from the‘ source they do, and simply
thrpstvhitt béick/in has teetp, and jioldlly 
ser a i is u: w o is rying 0 (eeeive
the good people of our noble Order, and
I will attempt to prove my position (which
he has not even attempted to do) and in so
doing will take his own yard-sticks to
demonstrate my position.

Prior to 1873, we, the government of
the United States, had a standard of value
of our own which was good for one hun-
dred years. It consisted of dollars, dimes
and cents: England had pounds, shillings
and pence, and all nations had their stand-
ard of measuring value. Old Rome had
her sheckels of silver and ducats of gold.

In 1873 congress deznonetized silver and
made the yard-stick of gold. Other na-
tions soon discovered the bright shining
stick and a.t once wanted to use it. There
was great clamoring for the stick at home
and abroad, and all getting hold of the
stick, pulled and hauled until it was
stretched to nearly nine feet, or in other
words the dollar was worth two dollars and
ninct_y cents, and still continued to measure
all products by the same stick so that it
took nine feet of produce to pay the debts
that we contracted to pay with three.

the old gold stick again began to stretch
and in three short years it has more than

and so on. Now if there be ariy f/l”(((,‘?

The Township Unit Plan.

BY E. A. HOLDEN.

II

In the last issue of the V1siToR I gave
the results of a comparison of the rural
schools of Michigan under the Township
Unit system with an equal number of rural
schools in the same counties under the dis-
triczf system. The fact that nearly all of
these schools were situated in the newer
portion of the state and that many of them
had not been under the new system long
made me feel that such a comparison would
not mean so very much unless borne out
by comparisons in older settled sections.

After having made the investigations
spoken of in my first letter, I determined
to investigate the workings of the Township
Unit System in Indiana. By the kindness
of Mr. Pattengill I was permitted to spend

from 1873 to 1880.

Although it is a bonanza '

l In this letter I shall make a comparison
j of the three northern tiers of counties of
I Indiana bordering on Michigan, with the
three southern tiers of counties of Michi-
gan bordering on Indiana. I regard this
as the best ossible opportunity for com-
parison. The school management of Indi-
ana is one of the best perfected systems of
Township Unit management in the United
States. The schools there have been under
that system for over thirty years: and the
system as it now exists has been in opera-
tion over twenty years. In Michigan the
d2Ls'Ir/cf system has been in operation for
even a greater length of time.

These counties were selected because the
other conditions are very similar. They
were settled largely by the same kind of
people; their soil, climate, and nearness to
large centers of population are alike; and
they are traversed by the same railroads.
The striking difference is the difference in
school management, and this is just what
we want to compare. A better opportun-
ity for comparison could not be had unless
there could be found two equal areas under
the same state management, with the con-
ditions in other ways as similar, and hav-
ing the two systems as distinctively in
force for as long a period of time: and this
is impossible.

Below are the tables of comparison——
three in number. The first compares the
bordering tiers of counties, the second
compares two tiers of counties, and the
third three tiers. - The second table in-
cludes the first and the third includes the
other two. The data are all taken from
the official reports of school officers on file
in the offices of Superintendent of Public
7“ traction of Michigan and Indiana. for
the year 189-}, and the Michigan State
census for the same year. The State cen-

sus was resorted to only where there was
a different basis for the school reports in
the two states. For instance: In Indiana
the census enumeration includes those of
school age who are not married, while in
Michigan it includes all persons of school
age. Therefore the number of persons of
school age in Michigan who are ‘married,
was ascertained from the census and sub-
tracted froin the whole number of school
age. In Indiana the report blanks call for
the total number of persons enrolled of
whatever age, while in Michigan the re-
ports call for the number of persons of

! .fl_,_._.___.,.,, _______

of persons under live and over
. twenty years of age enrolled was determ-
ined from the census and added to the
number of school age enrolled. In this
way everything was brought to thclndiana
basis for sake of comparison.

The tables are double, givinga compari-
son of all the schools and then of the rural
schools alone. The reader is invited to
give careful attention to these tables for
the tigures tell the story and I shall not
undertake to strengthen the argument with
words, further than to make necessary ex-
planations and add other facts that do not
appear in the tables.

Thcfollowing comments :u'e based upon
table three, comparing the three tiers of
counties, for, as previously stated. it em-
braces the other two tables. The facts
brought out by this table might be sum-
marized as follows: Based on this (‘()lIl-
parison the Township Unit System would
in Michigan, in u,// the schools, give 8.6
per cent or 14 days less school, reach :21
percent or 139,000 fewer children. and
costs  per cent or »$:£,l.‘}:3,ooo more than
does the ([43-z‘/v’:-Z system. In the I/-um!
schools it would give 12 per cent or 20
days less school, reach 10 per cent or 2-10,-
000 fewer children, and cost 4.5’ per cent or
$837,000 more annually. To put it diti'er-
ently: It would cost 4'.) per cent or $3,-
000,oo0 more annually to maintain all the
schools of Michigan the same length of
time that they are now, and all'ord educa-
tional advantages to 13‘.#,000 fewer chil-
dren. It would cost 70 pei' cent or $I,3.'i2,-
000 more to maintain the rural schools oftlic
state the same length of time they are now
maintained and the schools would reach
30,000 fewer pupils.

The direct tax for the support of all the
public schools in Michigan under the (lis-
I/'[ct system is "'o,Tt)tl,()tlt)_ U'n(ler the

Tail:/is‘/u'p LI/uft System it would be $<»‘,7oo,-
000. It will be seen that on this basis the
average tax payer who now pays an
annual school tax of $10 would under the
Unit System pay over 51.8, and he who
pays 3521) would have to pay over $5.36.

“'0 have no separate data for the direct
tax paid for the support of the rural
schools, but a little investigation along this
line in any county will bring out facts that
will surprise the most sanguine. I care-
fully coniputcd this for Ingham and
Branch counties with the following re-
sults: In Ingliain county the direct tax
for the support of the rural schools is a
little over -Sl.‘vi,oo0. Under the Unit Sys-
tem it would be #535,000 or over :35 times
as much. In Branch the direct tax for the
support of the rural schools is a iittle less
than $8,700. Under the Unit System it
would be $21,250 or a little less than 2%
times as much. In either of these counties
the farmer or farm owner who now pays
$10 school tax would under the much
praised Township llnit System have the
privilege of paying 3525 school tax, and he
who now pays $20 would under the other
system be invited to pay 53:31).

VVhat is true of these two counties will

probably hold true of other counties. And
still the farmers and grangcrs have been
called foolish and old fossils for opposing
the Township Unit System. At the time
this measure was last before the Legisla-
ture the Grangc and" especially the iiiem- '
bers of the Executive committee of that
order were severely criticised for their
opposition to the ineasure. But I say all
honor to those men who led the opposition
and to that order which so unanimously
petitioned the Legislature not to pass the
measure. An annual saving of -$3,000,000
to the tax payers of a state is no small
item. '
In my next letter I expect to show that
not only does this much praised system
cost more, shorten the length of school,
and reach fewer children, but that it tends
to poor citizenship and a waning school
spirit among the people.

Dairy Notes.

Milking cows sliould be practiceil ac-
cording to the following prescriptions:

1. \\'ork r:1pidl_v: slowness causes" loss
of ci'eaiii.

2. Milk tlioroughly, to the l:1st drop. be-
bause the last milk is the best.

3. Milk at the same time ever_v da_v.

1.. Milk crosswise, tli:1t is to sa_v, one
fore teat on the right and :1 hind teat on
the left and two 1» /‘NH; the milk thus tlows
more copiously than by parallel milking.

:3. Milk with four lingers and not with
index and thumb, :1 fault too comiiion with
iiiilkers.

6. Do not employ any kind of milking
machines.

7. To milk young, restive cows, raise one
of the fore feet. Never strike them.

9. Always keep the li:1nds clean and also
the cow‘/s udder and dairy utensils.

9. During milking. avoid distr:1cting or
disturbing the cow.

Those who neglect an_v of these prescrip-
tions infallibly lose milk.

One of the reg1ilatioi‘is of the Illinois
State Board of Health is that dairy cows-
shall be cleaned every day.

The best farm institutes are held in the
dairy sections. That speaks well for the
intelligence of the dairynicn.

Thirty-two states in the Union now have
laws prohibiting the sale of oleom:1rg:irine
when colored in imitation of butter.

New York city consumes over three-
fourths of a million quarts of milk per1l:1,v.
Last year the daily average was TtiN,:'W'1t1
quarts.

Good feeding should not be governed by
the price of dairy products. Xeitliei' should
the enthusiasm of the dairyinen fluctuate
with the market. Constancy is needed in
both cases. _ ~

The makers of oleomargarine claim that
they have as much right to color their pro-
duet as have buttermakers. This is all
fallacy, for butter is not colored in iinita-
tion of any other product.

Considerable excitement has been caused
in Ohio by the enforcement of the anti-
oleoinargarine law. The men engaged in
the sale of that product have been arrested

‘ and fined, but still continue to transgress

the law.

An unfailing test of an easy inilker is
flat ends in the teats. Cows having flat-
ended teats milk easy, the outlet being
large; those having pointed ends to their
teats-milk hard, because the outlet is small,
and much squeezing is done to force out
the milk.

Don’t hire at any 'price a man who has a
bad temper; he will ruin your cows. Don‘t
hire one who is not a good milker, he will
dry off your cows. Don’t employ a man
or a boy who is not willing to learn or
carry out your instructions.—I1'a/2... E17‘)/16/‘.

Small-Fruit Culture For Market.

It is the purpose of this paper to present

on which the, successful culture of small
fruits is founded. It is designed for be-
ginners rather than for experienced grow-

ers, and is therefore largely devoted to
points which the man without experience

1’RE1’.-XRATION OF SOIL.

The selection of the proper preparatory
crop is a matter of much importance. In
general some hoed crop should precede the
planting of any of the small fruits. V\'ith
the strawberry at least two years of culti-
vation should intervene between well-es-
tablished sod and the planting of berries,
in sections where the white grub abounds.
Corn or potatoes, well manured and kept
free from weeds throughout the season by
thorough cultivation, are good preparatory
crops. ln trucking regions almost any of
the annual vegetables will do to precede
small fruits. The objects to be attained
are (1) to free the ground from seeds of
annual weeds; (2) to eradicate established
perennials of every sort, including grasses;
(3) to get rid of noxious insect larvae, and
(:1) to leave the soil in that lively and mel-
low condition which the grower character.
izes as “good tilth.” If any portion of
the field remains wet long after rains dur-
ing any portion of the year, it should be
drained before planting. In most soils
and locations tile underdrains are prefer-

It should he said that aniong growers
who ship their fruit long distallces there is
an increzising teiidcncy to favor coiiniiercial
fertilizers rather than stable manure, on
the ground that the fruit thus grown is
tirnier and of better carrying tpizility. This
applies particularlv to fruit grown in the

humid climate of the South Atlantic :1i1d .,

Gulf b‘t:1tes, where most fruit plantsincline
to make :1 1'ank growth. which produces
watery fruit, :1nd where rains during the
ripening season are fretluent. A consider-
able gain results also from the abseiice of
weed seeds from prepared fertilizers. these
often proving ver_v troublesoine in fields
enriched with stable manure.

l’I.AN'I‘1NG AN!) Cl.'LTI\'ATI().\'.

The best time for planting small fruits
is yet :1 disputed question, except in the
.\'orth, where fall-set plants of most species
are subject to winterkilling. There are
few localities where spring planting is not
the safer method, though often the soil can
be more thoroughly prepared and the
planting be more cheaply done in autumn
than in spring. If done in autumn, in
regions where the ground freezes to any
considerable depth during winter, the new-
ly set plants should be well mulehed to
prevent winter injury.

All planting should be in straight rows
of equal distance apart. In the case of
the bush fruits it is often advantageous to
have the rows laid off both ways, so that
the cultivator can be run in both directions,
at least during the first season. If the
land is hilly and inclined to wash, the rows
should be laid around the hills, conforming
to their curves, but on land reasonably
level the rows should, if possible, run north
and south and should be as long in that
direction as the shape of the field will per-
mit. Overcrowding of plants should be
avoided, as fruit of large size is rarely pro-
duced by plants having insufiicient food,
air, and sunshine. If more that one vari-

Beauty is Heart Deep.

"li€:ll1l_\’ is but skin deep.” That is :1
skin deeps:1ying. lle:1ut_v is licart deep.
it is out of the heart we desire it. It is
out of the heart it grows. This is not 11
mere saying like the other. It is the fact
:1n1lseci'et that we are eager to penetrate.
Tlicre is. indeed. :1 skin-deep bi,-auty: 11
mere unearned. unlivcd. bodil_vinheritance;
but out of some heart, through seine life-
earning. it iiiust always’ have been origi-
nated and evolved. Thcgrandest beauty
may wait, its secret glory not shown forth,
for :1 lifetime: covered in with :1 plain. even
ungainly exterior, as a noble building is
roughly ho:1rded 11p while it is being care-
fully wrought to its perfection. Many a
woinaii goes through the world like this.
Or the true beauty may be so tender in its
beginnings that it needs to be hidden,
shielded—not made sign of before its time
—lest it should be spoiled and perish in the
exposure. .50 the final heritage waits,
while :1 present outer poverty is permitted,
which like the opposite condition, may
have come down through some strain of
ancestry; the outer betrayal of a far-back,
inner want. Of such waiting, :1 little fur-
ther on, a wonderful loveliness may be-
born. A plain woman, with beauty in her
soul, has often been the mother of :1 mar-
velously beautiful child. * * *
Beauty is a seed in the nature. It will
germinate, bud, leaf out, blossom. If the
beauty is inside you, and alive, you will—
sometime, somewhere—be a form of beauty-
How else did God make out of His own
beautiful thought, the beautiful world?
You have only got to live, love on and
wait. You shall have your birthright.
Certain of this, will you care if even it
does not wholly come to you within the
threescore years and ten? When you
come of age you shall possess your estate.
Only——never barter it away for a mess of

ottage you hap en to be hungry for.—

hap-hazzard work confronts him. llut
here if his problem is solved, he must solve

or interfere. The .~:choolin:1stcr's clubs
fr:1nkly admit they are not working :1long
that line, the State Noriiial school cert:1in~
ly is not. The motto there is "lioom at

-sidered below the lowest rimg of the lad-
der on which the tc:1clier rises to pedagogic
fame. \Vh:1t Noi'i11:1l gr:1du:1tc ever begins
to teach in :1 country school unless forced
by dire ncccssityf. Our county commis-
sioncrs use the ollicc as :1 stcppiug—stone to

still on our hands. Are we :1live to its
inipoi-taiiccf

Thoreau says, “only that day d:1wiis to
which we are :1w:1kc." Are we awake to
this opportunity! In visiting scliools in

\Vh:1t is the first duty to the C()llllll'_}'
school! It is of the highest iinportziiicc
that :1 iii:1n vitally interested in their wel-
fare be chosen for Superintendent of Pub-
lic Instruction. There will be no lack of
aspirants to the office, some of whom can
doubtless show long years of ediicatioiial
work, but let us inquire into the nature of
this work. A man may have spent all his
life in doing ideal work in an ideal school
and still know nothing of the actual work
of even the graded schools of our cities and
villages, still less of the work that is re-
quired to bring order out of chaos in the
heterogeneous mass that constitutes our
country schools. In my udgment the
man who has proven himself 21 live county
commissioner is the one to choose. Have
we such a man? In the School Journal of
Nov. 2, 1895, F. VV. Parker of Cook county
Normal says we have. Speaking of Oceana
county he says, “Mr. McClure has waked
up the whole country to the interests of
real education.——In every schoolhouse there
is a. good library, and literary works in the
country homes have been substantially in-
crea.sed.——He has established courses of
winter lectures in all the small towns in the
c0untry.—He has aroused a great enthusi-
asm in regard to the schools and has done
this by very common-sense methods. The
two lines he has followed—-the introduc-
tion of good literatiire and the discussion
of school questions with the people—are
producing excellent re.su_lts..” T /16 G2-rmd
I£apia’.s« Dc?/:06/‘/(Z says it IS his work that has
given Oceana the best county schools in the
state. '

Such work as is here described is what
We need in all the schools of the state, and
is it not time that we demand of every one
of our commissioners that he wakes to :1
sense responsibility, for while the attention
of other men must be taken up in large

meet trials in heroic mood, though they
came in full force. and suddenly, like Clan
Alpinels warriors?

In much of the choicest literature there
are portions suitable for school purposes.
“The mind is the most valuable material
which We can conceive placed in the hands
of the workman.” Are we not careful
where valuable inaterial is housed, and
wrought, lest it become soiled! There is
abominable language scribbled about the
premises of our country schools, enough to
make angels weep. Let us not deceive
ourselves that our children can daily come
in contact with this filth and not be soiled.
Jesus said “Blessed are the pure in heart
for they shall see God.” Surely then, our
first duty to the schools is to clean out this
filth and obscenity, to keep our innocent

little ones pure in heart.

How often we hear this stereotyped reply

to be fully capable and whose surroundings

gest themselves. ‘Ye remember the oc-

The Rescue From the Wreck.

A thrilling story of Gerniaii heroism at

reports regarding the loss of the Elbe,
comes from Schleswig—H0lstein. One
stormy morning a fishing village was
awakened by a gunshot. 011' the coast.
Hastening to the beach, the people saw a
ship wrecked on :1 reef :1 mile away. The
crew were in the rigging. A life-boat. was

Eight men, however, rowed out to the
wreck. The crew were got into the life-

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they can-
not reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a
blood or constitutional disease, and in order to
cure it you must take internal remedies. Ha.ll’s
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts di-
rectly on the blood and mucuous surfaces.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine.
It was perscribed by one of the best physicians
in this country for years, and is a. regular per-
scription. It is composed of the best blood
purifiers acting directly on the mucuos surfaces.
The perfect combination of the two ingredients
is what produces such wonderful results in cur-
ing catarrh. Send for testamonials, free.

OUR WORK.

The followinx: has been approved by the State liranzc as
a fair statement of the objects llH'(il'1illE9 of Michigan
has in view, andtho special lines along which it proposes to
Work. We hope every (1‘i'2ingc in the state will work
earnestly in all these dr-partmr-ntss. so that by a more
united effort we shall rapidly increase our numbers.
extend our influence. and attain more and more complete-
ly those ends which we seek.

OCR OBJECT

is the Organization of the Fariiiers‘ for their own Improve-
ment, Financially. Socially. Mentally. Morally.

We believe that this improvement can in large measure
be brought about:

1. (a.) By wider individual study aml general dis-
cussion of the biisiiicss side of farming: and home keeping.

(b.) By co-operation for financial advantage.

2. (a.) By frequent social gatlierings, and the mingling
together of farmers‘ with farmer:-:, and of fzirincrs with
people of other occupations.

.) By striving for a purer manhood. a noblcr woman-
hood, and a universal hrotherhoocl.

3. (a.) By studying and promoting the iiiiprovemcnt of
our district schoolst.

his advice  worth something.

The money question will be the question
upon which political parties will divide
during the coming campaign. By reason
of this fact the money question must be
barred from discussion in Gniiige, so long
as it may remain :1 partisan football. The
Declziration of I’urposes  explicit on this
point. “'c quote: "No Graiigc, if true
to its obligtitioiis, can discuss partisan or
sectari:1n questions, nor call political con-
ventions, nor nominate c:tndid:1tes, nor
even (.llS(.‘l1SS their merits in its iiicetings.”
“'hatever l’:1trons may have thought about
the policy of our last State Graiigc in dis-
ciissiiig the fin:inci:1l question, we do not
see how it can properly be discussed now,
having become the le:1din,_q issue between
the ,qi'c:1t political p:u'ties. “'e print in
this issue of the \'Isi'roR an article on the
subject which has been in our hands some
weeks and which is entitled to :1 pl-.1cc in
our columns. But we must ask our readers
to remember the quotation from our Pur-
poses, and to refrain from discussing the
matter in the Visiron.

We mean by this that the question must
not be argued pro and con. “'e think it
would be entirely legitimtite, if we could
secure the proper writers, to have either
side of the question presented, without
ar_<_runiei1t in rebuttal. But we must decline
further articles discussing the money ques-
tion.

“'e do not assume to be £1. final authority
on the Gr:1n,qc constitution, but if the
sentence we quoted from the Declaration
of Purposes means what it says, no Grange
is justified in passiiig a resolution fzivoring
any candidate for any elective oflice,whcther
he has been regularly nominated or not.
This we are well aware has been done re-
peatedly, and we have often printed such
resolutions in the VISITOR. But it looks
as if the Grange were stretching it funda-
mental law in so doing. The Grainge prin-
ciple of non-partisanship must be 8. prin-
ciple to be closely followed and not a pol-
icy to be invoked when convenient and dis-
regarded because nobody “kicks. " It is
far safer to err on the side of cautiousness
than it is to treat our principles as elastic.
We speak of these things less because of
any specific events that have occurred than
because a heated campaign is about to
open, and in our earnestness there may be
dan,qer of overstepping the bounds of
prudence and infringing on those principles
which are the very safety of our noble

Order.

Committee.

It is hardly necessary to state that we
are heartily in favor of the intent
of the resolution. “'e have con-
tended, in the VISITOR columns and in
public talks, that tax-payers should give
more attention to the evils right at home.
“'e believe that far more money goes‘ to
waste in local :1tl':iirs,——city, township, and
count_y—th:1n in the st:1te’.s.a business. It is
high time we took hold of the whole mat-
ter of tzixzition, and reform as well as charity
should begin at home. Let us discuss this
question :1nd work together for its settle-
ment.

From the political stzindpoint there is
abundzuit excuse for party government in
state affairs because it Stl'(3llf_7‘tllCDS the
national OI‘g‘2'lI]lZtltl0l1. From the stand-
point of the citizens it is somewhat ques-
tionable if it is any advantage. In fact,
we have sometimes :1:s:s'ei'tcd that it is :1 dis-
advantage. It seems to us that at least
there can be no question that our political
parties should in their state plzitforms and
politics pay more attention to the state
government, which is of so much more ini-
mediate iinportancc to the people of the
state than any declarations they may make
in regard to iiatioiial issues. Let them
support the national plzitform, but in ad-
dition declare for some state questions.
Because this movement is so new and the
politicians are so inexperienced in writing
state platforms, we venture to promulgate
one that will serve as a sort of guide by
which these astute minds may, in some de-
gree, meet the wishes of the plain people.
“Te would not ask any party to swallow
the whole thiiigt bodily, but we just make
some hints. Of course there ought to be
the usual preliminary fire works‘, and then
the platform would settle down to business
about as follows:

“'e believe that the public servants of a
great state should stand upon a platform

ledged to specific lines of administration.
llc therefore enunciate the following
declarations of our beliefs on this subject:

1. “'e promise to practice the most rigid
economy in the administration of affairs in
every-state department and state institution,
and to appropriate no money that is not
demanded by the greatest good of the peo-
ple who, at the present time, feel acutely
the burdens of even a moderate taxation.

2. “'13 believe in such revision of our
tax laws as shall more justly distribute the
burden of our taxes, upon the basis of
ability to pay.

3. “'9 believe that every citizen should
be guaranteed pure food, and we promise

to enact and enforce laws that Will insure '

to every consumer the goods he calls for,
and to every producer freedom from the

competition of fraudulent productions.

-1. “'e believe in good roads and in the
enactment of laws designed to secure the
continuous and intelligent improvement of
our highways, but without imposin,<_r fur-

j t.her burdens upon the tax payer.

How can a Young Man Acquire a Farm?

BY TIIO.\'. M A RS.

I

You have requested me to write an
article of advice to young f:1i'mci's, who do
not own :1 farm, and who desire to become
fzirmcrs. I have hesitated sometinic in
complying with the request, knowin}: what
:1 diflicult thing it is to lay down any
special rule or siiggcstioii that the avei':1_<_re
young man will adopt. But I am willin_t_r
to do what I can in the way of siiggestioiis.
First: If :1 younf_r man is willing to. and
desires to become 11 f:irn1er and good
citizen, he must resolve to save at certain
amount of his e:1r11iii<_rs. Let him set his
stake at, say :34) cents of every dollar hc
earns, or if his labor brings him in 81:31)
per year, save $7.3, put that at interest.
The next year save $151!. This can be
easily done by any young: man who will
study economy. Should his wages be more,
his nest egg would be larger. This money
will bring the young man an animal inter-
est of 7 per cent, the yearly income there-
fore is a man workin_<_r for him, and at the
expirzition of ten or twelve years there will
be :1 snug sum of money that if properly
invested will pi11'cli:1sc :1 foundation for :1
nice home, and in the course of time with
the s:1mc line of thought and economy the
young man will\tind himself in the posses-
sion of :1 good farm with nice si1i'i'o11n<liiigs
and a house good enough for :1 kin_c_r, or :1
Michigan farmer which is better.

The success of :1 young man :ilon_c_r this
line depends much on the life he chooses.
He C2tIlllOt expect to prosper and at the
same time spend his money for all the lux-
uries that the present age zitfords. llc
must avoid livery bills, sziloons, (,lt).l1C(il]ll.llS.
theaters, and many other frivolities that I
ini,¢_rht mention. Many young men go west
with :1 small sum of money thinking to tind
land cheap and grow up with the country.
This is all right provided he resolves to do
so and not complain of the hardships, and
become :1 permanent settler of the country
of his adoption. He must not l)c 9. tender-
foot, if he does it will likely take the re-
mainder of his life to secure his former
foot hold. My advice would be, secure :1
home in Micliigiin, the best country in the
universe. The depression of times makes
it somewhat discouraging for a young: man
to start out with the determination of fol-
lowing fzirining or any other occupation.
But with the will of determinzition and :1
fixed purpose there is no end to what may
be accomplished. I would not have :1
young man seclude himself from good so-
siety in order to save money and get :1
farm. But be sure to look well to the
object in view. In the first investment be
sure to purchase no more land than you
can pay down for. Now and then :1 young
man may go in debt for a farm and come
out all right but they are few. A large
per cent of the wrecks of this country are
of those who have over reached their ca-
pacity to pay.

Why the Gold Standard Fails.

That a universal gold standard might be
introduced is conceivable. But that it is
practically impossible to obtain the gold
necessary for that purpose, is today ad-
mitted by the most inveterate gold men.
Accordingly the typical gold man of today
always demands the gold standard only for
his country. In London the saying is that
England must adhere to the gold standard,
but that it is very much to be desired that
the rest of the World should adopt bimetal-
lism. But the gold standard man of Ger-

many wishes to have his country in agree-
ment with Eiiglantl on the money standard.
Austria-Hungary does not wish to depart
froui the Geriiizin st:ii1d;ird. nor Rollllltlllltl
from thatof Austria-lIungziryz and thus the

* present state of :1fi':1irs iicccsszirily leads to

the extension of the gold st:1nd:1rd. which
is cvcrywlicrc l'€L'0g1ll7.(*(l :i.s' diiiigyrous and

Miss Altman, the directrcss, was told

that a gentleman had called to look at 

rooms. Taking it for granted that he
wished to engage board for some woman
relative, she sent an attendant to show
him the rooms. He expressed himself as
much pleased and engaged a suit. At
nightfall the following day Miss Alt-
man was informed by the horrified at-
tendant that "a man had come to occupy
the rooms" which he claimed to have
engaged the preceding day. In the hall
her startled eyes recognized the dignified
gentleman of the day before. accompa-
nied by a colored valet with a dress suit
case in one hand. a portmanteau in the
other. and with an expressman with a
big trunk bringing up the rear.

Miss Altman advanced and politely
requested an explanation This caused
the gentleman to grow very red in the
face, while the valet rolled his eyes in
disapproval and the expressman waited.
The gentleman declared that he had
come to take possession of the rooms he
had engaged and had been refused the
keys.

“Oh, but you cannot occupy the
rooms!" she exclaimed. "This is a wo-
man’s hotel." The valet dropped the
portmanteizu. the expressman smiled.
while beads of cold perspiration be-
spangled the would be boarder’s brow,
as he explained, that going by, he had

nephew to come also and that prob-

o’clock. Then. with many apologies,
he beat a hasty retreat. That evening
Miss Altman received the nephew, who
proved to be a dashing young society
man, who, when he heard of his uncle’s
innocent mistake, was greatly amused

of Ayer’s Pills, with the most satisfac-
tory results, never having a single
attack that did not readily yield to this
remedy. My wife, who had been an
invalid for years, also liegan to use
Ayer’s Pills, and her hi-iilth was quickly
restored. With my ('llllIll'l'Il I had no-
ticed that nearly all IIlI‘l1‘ ailiiieiits were

GRANULATE SUGAR

A Price that Cannot be Duplicated.

 

We have just imported a large lot of Granulated Sugar from Germany, so as to be independent of
our un-American sugar trust. This sugar is packed 100 pounds in a bag, and is a good white granulat-
ed color, and very much sweeter than that made by our un-American trust. We have to pay the Unit-
ed States Government a duty of 23 cents per hundred pounds, and pay -

the freight from Germany to Chicago, but we are still able to sell it for

much less than our un-American trust ask for theirs. TRY A BAG.

“Mr. Edniuiid \\'ilkes, Q. (1.. denies the re-

ciety sketch, '.-In Archbishopis l)aii;_:hter—

semble the crude and uiiformed style of that 5

now famous story. '1'he work I}P&lI'S, on the
contrary, internal traces of being due to the
sprightly wit. of a very young lady ac-
quainted with the clerical society of a
northern cathedral town, but little at home
in the great; world of London.” Rufus
Mortimer almost. laid down the paper in
disgust. Better surely the fellowship of
the eternal hills, the myriad buzz of the
bees, the purple heather, than the solicitous
echoes of this provincial gossip. ’
But. just as he was going to fling the jour-
nal down in his distaste his eye chanced to
light upon 8. single belated paragraph
wedged in between two others near the end
of the column. “Messrs. Stanley & Lock-
liart. will publish almost. immediately a
new and stirring romance of the armada
period, entitled ‘An Elizabethan Seadog,’
purporting to be written by one John Col-
lingham, at Norfolk sailor, who was im-
prisoned in Spain by the inquisition for re-
fusing to abjurc t-he ‘damnable doctrine of
her grace’s supremacy.’ It. is announced as
‘translated and edited by Arnold “Iii-
loughby’ and is described in their circular
as being one of the most thrilling Works of

adventure published since the beginning of
the present. revived taste for the literature
of romantic exploits.”

In a. moment Rufus Mortimer had jumped
up from his seat on the overblown heather.
In accordance with his promise to Kath-
leen, he had been hunting for weeks to find
Arnold Willougliby, and now by pure
chance he had lighted unawares on a. sin-
gular clew to his rival’s whereabouts.

“I hope so," Rufus answered good hu-
nioi-e-dly. “I want it, first, for myself,
and, st-conrlly, for a person in whom, I may

iiitr.-re.-:ted.”
‘I he piililislicr raised his eyebrows.
was the very worst plea Rufus .\Iortinier

not the one crcxitiii-e on earth lie‘s most
aiixiousto hide from. So the wise man
hesitiited.

“\Vt-ll, I don't. know whetlier I ought to '

tell you.” he said at last, shading his eyes
with his hand. "But., to be quite frank
with you, we don’t exactly know whether
we‘ve got his real address or not oiirselves.
He l’» s his proofs posted to him at ii small
seal.-iriiig Ctidee Iiulise soniewlxerc right
away down in the flu‘ east. end, and thats
hardly the sort of place where a man of
letters such as he evidently is would be
likely to be lodging.”

Rufus I‘:I()l‘l;ll1l€l' smiled once more.

“I expect it's where he lo(l;:es," he an-
swered. “At. Venice he used to board in
the house of a sort of inferior marine stores
dealer. He’s a. live man, is \Villough bv.
He doesn’t trouble hiiiisclf much about the
upholsteries and the fripperies.”

The publisher, still half unconvinced.
wrote down the address 011 a slip of paper,
and Mortimer, just thanking him for it.
rushed off to another cab and hurried away
at. full speed to the East End coffee house.

Fortunately Arnold \Vill0ughby was in.
He had little to go out. for. Mortimer went
up to his room——a plain small bedroom on
the second floor, very simply furnished, but
clean and comfortable. He was taken
aback at the first look of the man. Ar-
nold seemed thinner than at Venice, very
worn and ill looking. But he started up
at the sound of Mort.iiner’s cheery voice,
which he recognized at once, with its scarce
ly perceptible tinge of pleasant and culti-
vated Pennsylvania. accent. Then he held
out his left hand. Mortimer saw for him-
self that the right. hung half idle by his
side as if paralyzed.

"\Vhy, What, does this mean?” he asked
quickly.

Arnold smiled in reply and grasped his
friend’s hand warmly, though to say the
truth he felt. not quite at. ease with the man
who was to marry Kathleen Hesslegrave.
He would have been glad in some ways tc
be spared this visit, though, now it was
thrust upon him. he was really thankful
in others that he was to know the truth
andto put. himself once more en rapport
with Kathleen.

“Oh, nothing much,” he answered, forc-
ing a difficult smile. “I got crushed in an
iceberg accident. Worse calamities hap-

rare hiirsts of uiiadulterated nature which .
men seldom pei-iiiit theriisclves. “You
don't know what it costs me,” he said ear- ;
nestly; "you don't kiiow what it costs tne.” *

He spoke with such transparent sincerity 2
and depth of feeling that. Arnold couldn't. 3
help syiiipatliiziiig with him. And yet,
even so, after all his bit-ter experience, he
couldn‘t help letting the thought flit ‘
through his mind all the same, ‘Was Kath- ,
leen still trying to catch the earl, but keep- 3
ing a second string to her how all the while
in the rich American?

He laid his hand gently on Rufus Morti-
mer‘s shoulder.

“My dear fellow," he said, with real feel-
ing, “I can see how much it means to you.
I’m sorry indeed if I stand between you
and her. I never wished to do so. There
has indeed been an error, a very S(‘!'l<.')11> er-
ror, but is has been on her part, not on "
mine. She would have tiiarried iiie. once, I
know, but under a misapprehension. If
she knew the whole truth now, she wouldn’t.
want to see inc again. And even if she did,”
he added, holding up his maimed hand pa-
thetically, “even if it was the painter she
wanted and not—ah, no! I forgot«——but even
if it was the painter. how could she take
him now, and how could he burden her
with himself in this mangled condition? It.
was always a Wild dream, but now it’s an
impossible one.”

“That’s for her to judge, Willoiighby,”
Rufus Mortimer answered, with earnest-
ness. “Ali, man, how can you talk so? To
think you might make her yours witha
turn of your hand, and won’t., while I——oh,
I’d give every penny I possess if only I dare
hope for her. And here I am pleading
with you on her behalf against. myself, and
not even knowing whether I’m not dero-

descending on her behalf to say so much as
I do to you. ”

He leaned back in his easy chair and held
his hand to his forehead. For a. moment
neither Spoke. Then Arnold began slowly:

“I love her very much, Mortimer,” he
said. "Once I loved her distrzictedly. I
dou’t think I could speak about her so to
any other man; certainly not to any Eng-
lishman. But you Americans are somehow

Arnold VVilloughhy handed the letter
back to Mortimer, with tears in his eyes.
He felt: he had wronged her. VVhether she
knew he was an earl from the beginning or
not, he believed now she really loved him
for his own sake alone and could never love
any other man. She was not mercenary.
If she were, she would surely have accepted
so brilliant an offer as Rufus Mort.imer’s.
She was not. fickle. If she were, she would
never have written such a. letter as that
about a. man who had apparently disap-
peared from her horizon. Arnold’5 heart
was touched home.

“I must; go to her,” he said instantly. “I
must see her and set this right. Where is
she now, Mortimer?"

“I’ll go with you,” Mortimer answered
quickly. “No, don’t be a.fraid,”' he added
with a bitter smile. “As far as the door, I
mean. Don’t suppose I want to hamper
you in such an interview.”

CALHOUN COUNTY GRANGE.

The last meeting of our county
grange was held by invitation in Eat-
on county at the beautiful and spa-
cious home of Brother and Sister Frank
Andrews. Bellevue Grange enter-
tained us royally. All that generous
hospitality could do was done. W arm
hearts prompted the assembling of our
members. They gave us hearty greet-
ing and good cheer. Calhoun county
furnisheda program of lively topics
that were discussed in a most intelli-
gent manner.

In another column is one of the re-
sults of our day's work, a resolution
that we trust will meet with the hearty
support of every taxpayer, yiz.: a
change in the state laws making all
county officials salaried officers and
compelling them under oath to turn
all fees and perquisites over to the
county treasury to be used in defray-
ing county expenses. We believe a
suflicient salary should be paid that
will employ good business men and
that all moneys coming into each office
as fees belong to the county and not
to the officer.

We hold our August picnic at Clear
Lake, township of Penfield, and ex-
pect a good time.

Magazine Notes.

“The Declaration of Independence
in the Light of Modern Criticism.” by
Moses Coit Tyler, Professor of History
in Cornell University, posesses a well
considered timeliness as the opening
article in the North American Review
for July. Professor Tyler discusses
this venerable and “classic statement
of political truths from many stand-
points, but always in a loyal and patri-
otic spirit.

The July Arena contains a very
striking and suggestive paper by the
editor, B. 0. Flower, entitled "The
General Discontent of American
Wealth Creators as Illustrated in Cur-
rent Cartoons." Those who wish to
make themselves acquainted with the
real condition of the industrial pop-
ulation of this country and the causes
which have produced this condition
should not miss reading Mr. Flower’s
paper. It contains many illustrations
which tell their own story in a most
convincing way.

The August number of the New
Crusade deals largely with the question
of marriage. Dr. J. M. W. Kitchen
contributes an article on “Marriage
from a medico-scientific point of view.
A symposium of physicians is held on
the age at which marriage is suitable,
and the effect of the parent’s age on
ofispring. A paper by Julia Ward
Howe discusses “Moral equality be-
tween the sexes.” Reyerence and its
development is treated by Mrs. E. G.
Green. Other articles of interest lill
the pages. This little magazine is
keeping up to its level of good work,
and must prove a boon to thoughtful
parents. Terms 50 cents per year.

HARRIET BEECIIER S'I‘OWE'S
LETTER.

The last thing written by Mrs. l-lar-
riet Beecher Stowe, only a few days
before her death, was a loving ac-
knowledgement to the public for fond
remembrances and tokens and expres-
sions of affectionate esteem, on her
85th birthday, which she sent to the
Ladies’ Home Journal. In the next
issue of this magazine it will be piib—
lished in fac simile. 1t reliects the
beautiful nature of the gifted aiithor-
ess, and by her death has become her
last message to the American public.

I have an ice cream freezer that will freeze
cream perfectly in one minute; as it is such
a wonder a crowd will always be around so
anyone can make $5 to $6 a day sellinir cream
and from $10 to 3% a day selling freezers, as
people will always buy an article when it is
demonstrated that they can make money by
so doing. The cream is frozen instantly and
is smooth and free from lumps. l have done
so well myself and have friends succeeding
so well that I felt it my duty to let others
know of this opportunity, as I feel c-mfldant
that any person in any locality can make

MAKING.

It is quite evident to one who com-
pares the condition of the country today
with its condition in 1800 that radical
defects as to the province of the legis-
lature have prevailed for the last 35
years. Take the American farmers as an
illustration of the effect of bad legisla-
tion diirlng this period. Each rc-curring
year has brought them smaller rewards
for their labor until today they are
zonfrontcd, in the midst of the richest
and cheapest agricultural lands on the -
earth, by insolvciicy and ruin. Another .
striking example of the result to a large

much knowledge of law as Toby ac-=

, politics is generally incapable of doing j
any other kind of business well, and.

of which man is capable. We have ex- ‘ Sold "D 0"" Daymenm

followed by a. bill for remedying the de-
fects in the bill to explain the bill passed
to amend the bill for imposing a tax. ”
He is an astute lawyer who is able to
determine what is meant by a consider-
able proportion of our recent statutes.

One would be an inaccurate observer
who attributed all these changes to un-
just legislation. Human industry, skill,
foresight and economy account to some
extent for the present inequality. But;
notwithstanding this, it seems to me it
must be admitted by every candid ob-
server that these inequalities in wealth
have resulted largely from special legis-
lation.

Another evidence of incorrect ideas as
to the province of legislation is found
in the growing tendency of lawmakers
to attempt to rcmedy all the natural
evils of society by legislation. Most
people of our day think that a statute
law is a sovereigin specific for every
evil. The popular remedy for bad mor-
als, for social sins, for inteinpcrance,
for all kinds of human derelictions, is
in an act of the assembly or in an
amendment to the constitution. Wild
eyed and long haired enthusiasts confer
together and resolve and resolve and
petition and petition for the suppression
of this vice and that vice, with no ap-
parent conception that there are certain
instincts of human nature which it is
impossible to suppress. Our obliging
legislators are willing to pass any law
which these impracticable enthusiasts
recommend, at the same time well
knowing that it will not be enforced.
Ensign Robbins, a rural legislator of
Maine when the prohibitory law of that
state was before the legislature, said
that he “was for the law, but agin its
enforcement.” And so in the state of
New York we had a body of contcmpti-
hle political legislators pass a law clos-
ing places for the sale of liquors on
Sunday in the great cities of the state,
where a considerable proportion of the
people are in favor of the sale of liquor
between certain hours on that day. And
yet these very politicians would legis-
late out of existence the board of police
commissioners in the city of New York,
who attempted honestly to enforce that
law, for no other reason than that they
have attempted to enforce the law.

If any truth is found in the lessons of
history it is this-—that whenever a peo-
ple cease to possess those self restraints
and virtues which are the foundations
of society and which preserve its life,
they turn to the law to impose restraints
upon vice. A people conscious of the
existence of evil, but too weak to stem
the tide against it, satisfy their con-
science by turning to the restraints of
law and attempting to make those re-
straints take the place of individual re-
straint. When Rome began to become
so ripe as to be a little rotten, sumptu-
ary laws multiplied and vices of every
kind were put under the ban of law.
When at the height of her power in the
best days of the republic, fewer statutes
were passed annually than we are ac-
customed to enact (each year in many of
our states. The truth is that our people
by reason of many years of ovcrlegisla-
tion have been turning their eyes toward
the legislature for material benefits, un-
til today we have reached the point
where no body of men cuter into any
enterprise without attempting to obtain
some special advantage from legislation.
We have been teaching the American
people to look toward legislation rather
than to industry and economy for
wealth. As a result, laws have multi-
plied rapidly. Ench legislature volleys
them forth as though shot from gatling
guns. Crude, illy digested, illy pre-
pared, they confer benefits upon one
class of the community and heap bur-
dens upon the other until the ordinary
taxpayer, loaded with unjust taxation,
has actually become round shouldered
from hearing public burdens. Sheridan
used to compare amending bills to the
interesting story of “The House That
Jack Built:" “First comes a bill im-

try, and yet are men thoroughly versed ‘
in military science or naval science ,

2 ticians, to paid attorneys of corpora- 
tions and to gushing enthusiasts the 
making of our laws, and yet no clear
headed business man would intrust a
politician torun asawmill, or afactory,
or a bank, or any of his private busi-
ness Men, as a rule, will not intrust
their private business to lawyers who
are not skilled in their profession. Nor
will they intrust their bodies to physi-
cians who are ignorant of their profes-
sion. But they will vote for a candi-
date to the assembly who has not the
slightest qualification, who knows noth-
ing of legislation, or of history, or of
political economy, or of any other sub-
ject that fits him to bring about good
legislation. It has been said that “the
worst curse that can fall upon a com-
munity is a priest Without charity, a
physician without knowledge and a
lawyer without a sense of justice. " But
the stupidity, the indifference to the
public welfare, the lack of patriotism
which has been displayed by the United
States senate during the last few months
and by the legislature of the state of
New York during the last session leads
us to believe that the worst curse of a
community is an ignorant and partisan
legislator.

A committee appointed by the govern-
or of this state to devise checks upon
hasty and ill advised legislation has
recently made a report to the legislature
embodying many suggestions, and our
legislatiire will be asked to act on them.

The re-nieily for these evils is found
not in checks and restraints upon legis-
lation so much as in aconviction among
the people that legislation in great part
is procured for the benefit of special iii-
tercsts and corporations and not for
their benefit.

The hope of the country is in a deep
and powerful current of public opinion
against overlegislation and a hatred of
all special legislation. The mass of the
people, however effectively they may
combine together, will be unable to pro-
cure to themselves any ofisct or equiva-
lent to the special legislation which pri-
vate interests will be able to obtain.
The watchword of the people should be:
“Down with all special legislation. We
ask no favors We are after no privi-
leges, and we insist that special privi-
leges and favors shall be granted to no-
body. We only want to remain in the
unmolested enjoyment of what belongs
to us of right, and we will have that or
we will vote the men who refuse to give
it to us out of power."

When the people are awake to the
danger of suinptuary legislation and
special legislation and really appreciate
the fact that honest government can
never exist when private interests can
obtain benefits through the legislature,
then, and not until then, will our legis-
lative bodies be truly democratic and
representative assemblies.

While attending to her daily duties the hand

In ctiiivorsatioii with a Courier-Herald repre-
sentative, who had heard of her severe case and
cure, silo spoke as follow.-': “The stroke came
on one day shortly after dinner. The men had
just gone out on the farm to Work in the fields.
and I was ironing. All at once I felt a lia.-ii
over my brain like an electric shock and sonic-
thing that seemed like a head of perspiration
sccinetl to run down my left lower limb into my
shoe. I sat down fora moment and then, fcclv

niinutes, there came another flash over my
head, and again there was the peculiar sensa-
tiun of something running down my side. Then
I knew something serious was abcut to happen
and I made haste to reach a bed, where I fell.
under the influence of paralysis. After I had
laid there for a few minutes my husband came
in and, not seeing me where I had been work-
ing. he looked for me and found me lying help-
955.

“My speech was not affected. and I told him
what ivas the matter. A doctor was at once
sent for to the village of Blanchard. a few miles
away, and he came out to the farm in about
three hours, but he could not aiiord me any re-
lief. This was three years ago ~ in April, 1:92-
that I suffered from this stroke of paralysis. It
fllfficttfti my left side and rendered me helpless.
For a year following this I had skilled medical
attendance. using among other things
an electric battery, but it all did me no good.
“At this time I read in a paper about Dr.
Williams‘ Pink Pills, and they were also recom-
mended to ine by some of my friends, who had
heard of the many cures that they had effected
in cases like mine. After I had been taking
them for about two weeks I began to feel better
and have continued to steadily improve. The
paralysis was so bad that I could not walk
around the house, but had to be lifted about.
My left arm was also entirely helpless I am
now able to walk around and get out to call on
my friends and neighbors, and am so well that
I can get around very well. I used twenty boxes
of Pink Pills."
