President commits himself "clearly
and irrevocably to the Tesumplion of

supposed they were f rom reading the

it wiser to' fund;'. the "debt , at a low

however, it is better tbat4 such aggressive-
ness should be seen in deeds rather than in
words, for of the latter we have had quite
enough in previous official and semi-ofScial
utterances of the President and his Cabi

was a concise statement of the principles
that animate the administration and the
assurance that thev will be faithfully exe

we have, but in language that will neither
srouse the enthusiasm of the friends of re-

our next Legislature to pass a law taxing all

those who wish to keep female dogs can
afford to do so, as this law would create a
demand for good male, dogs, and it would
be to the interest of doe fanciers to keep

I Why it has remained at such lowfiff-
I nres for so long a time has been a
i mystery to everybody, and many
causes have been assigned. The fact
that cotton is very low is about , the
only certain thing' in connection with
it. : At one time it was believed it
ruled ! low because of over supply
I There is no doubt that the inexorable

' The important .question Jn which
1 every reader is directly or indirectly;
concerned is, how, to remedy this
evil how to contravene t the adverse
causes at work. The circular says;
"The Question is, shall we endeavor to

j would, try toget the best attainable price?
