Will you submit to this conspiracy between the professional farmers, the farmers who cultivate the quar rels of their neiehbhrs, farmers who labor with their jaws, Populist agi tators of the West, and the unre conciled slave-holders of theSouth ? This h a conspiracy between pro fessional farmers, who want to pay low wages, and the unreconciled slave-holders, who would like to pay no wages at all. (Extract from the speech of Bourke Cockran, de livered in New York August IStn.J Every Democratic paper should print. and every Democratic speaker should read to his audiences, the following let ter written oy xresiaem vievciauu in r89S to the editor of the Atlanta Consti tutiom j. "Gray Gables, Buzzard Bay, Mass., -July 16. 1892. Clark Howell, Esq My Dear Sir: The receipt of your recent - letter has gratifiid me exceedingly. It has a tone of true Democracy about it, and is pervaded with the sort of Demo cratic frankness wnicn is very pleasing. "I think the underlying principles of party organization is what you so ad mirabiy express as an acceptance of the arbitrament of the National Conven tion. On the other hand, it is as fully the duty of one opposed to shut bis mind aad heart to any feeling of irrita tion or resentment that might be al lowed to grow out of opposition based upon honest judgment and a conscien tious desire for party success. - "I am not surprised, thrujzh I am gratified by the announcement that from tbis time to tne close of the campaign vour oven service and the invaluable in fluence of the Constitution will be devoted to the fizht lor Democratic success. It honestly seems to me tbat Democrats .who are not at this time loyal to the ciuse are recreant to their country. - "Personal advancement ot man is nothing; the triumph of the principles we advocate is everything. 'Hoping that we may congratulate each other on a a glorious result in No vember, I am, vours sincerely, "Grover Cleveland.' AS OBJECT LESSON. The geld standard advocates seem to attach much importance to " ob ' iect lessons" these davs. but thev do J . - - - - j not study them halt as readily as they present them. If they did, they could find them by the spore, lessons which would teach them much more than any they f urnish for the "educa tion" of their benighted fellow citi zens who believe in the free coinage of silver. They could find in the de predated value of f arming lands .one of the most striking and impressive obiect lessons, it they would. As a general thing farming lands are now worth less than they were twenty years ago, although they should be , (if their value" had kept relative pace with the alleged increase of wealth In tha country) worth at least t wice as much as they were twenty years ago. . If there was anything" in the claims niade for the protective tariff, , as the great upbuilder of home mar- kets, and anything in the claims made for the gold standard as the bringer and insurer of stable pros perity this should be so, but it isn't so, for in the States which have ben efitted most by the protective tariff and the great "home markets," and where the gold men have centered much of their wealth, and money can be borrowed atMow rates of interest,! farming lands have depreciated as much as they have in the purely ag ricultural States, where they haven't any great home markets at all. The towns and cities have grown in wealth at the expense of the coun try, while the tendency of the move ment has been from the country to the towns and cities, because labor on the farm became so unprofitable that many of the young men" and" women finding so little to encourage them to stay upon the (arms left them to seek employment in -the towns and cities,, And these ij-Hrfiae: were followed by the ojderiaembew of the family; as soon as they cculd sell the farms they owned. Thm thousands of farms .have changed ownership; at prices, that would not have touched them 'twenty years ago, while many others have changed ownership under the sheriff's ham mer, and many others have been abandoned because they could not find purchasers. These are facts of record, and they are facts of record, too, in the very States that should, if there was anything in the "home market" theory or in the gold stand ard theory, be the typically prosper ous States. These are object lessons that both the protectionist and the gold man could study to good par pose, if they would. But they could find quite as sug gestive and instructive lessons In the depressed condition of some of our manufacturing Industries too, which, although they have had more or less benefit from the protective fariff and have shared all the advantages of the gold standard, have not fared any better than the farmer. Here is a case in point, one case of which there are doubtless many. Within the past few days we have met and conversed with one of the most energetic and enterprising gentlemen, one whom we have known for years. Twenty five years ago he invested several thou sand dollars in an iron manufactur ing industry in one" of the growlng and most progressive cities in the State. By industry, business ability and close attention to It the business grew, and the money that was made out of it went into the business, in addition to which borrowed money was put into it to increase the capa city of the plant. But as money be came scarce, and the condition of the farmer became harder, the prices of plows, harrows, machinery, stoves and other things, manufactued at tbis plant bad to be reduced to effect sales and keep running, so reduced that the receipts became barely suffi cient to meet current expenses and the profits nothing. About the same time that the change for the worse began another citizen of that same place, whom we also knew, took a smaller sum of money. than was invested in this manufacturing plant and invested it in the stock of a bank which was es tablished there. Not long ago that bank closed its business and reor ganized under a new charter. -The gentleman to whom we refer got back his original investment of several thousand dollars, upon which he had received from the beginning a semi-annual dividend of 5 per cent , which in the aggregate, count ing the original investment, more than doubled 'it, , while he himself had never turned over a hand. The money that went into the bank grew and doubled without any effort on his part. : The man who put his money in the man ufacturing plant and has worked in dustriously ever since would now be glad to get anything approximating the sum he has pnt into tbat plant, and would consider himself lucky if he could. The bank investor's capi tal was doubled without any effort, while the manufacturer's labor was given away, and his investment isn't worth as much to-day as, it was ten years ago. That man is a free silver man, and believes that with free silver he has something to hope for, but with the perpetuation of the gold standard that it is but a question of a little time when to keep his fires burning will be a matter of impossibility. Isn't there something in an object lesson like this? MIKOK MEHTIOJ. The Washington Post, a gold stan dard paper, is entitled to much credit for the fairness with which it dis cusses the money question and for repeatedly calling to task the gold organs for their misrepresentations of the advocates of free silver. Re cently a man was arrested in Jersey City for passing a trade dollar. He had this trade dollar among others that he had saved and being una ware of the fact that an act bad been passed in Congress calling in the trade dollars, by virtue of which act they ceased to be money, he offered it in payment for something pur chased, as he would any other dollar, and was arrested as if he had at tempted to pass counterfeit money. Referring to this incident, the New York Mail and Express says: "Bryan proposes to institute a system of coinage which will bring every one of our silver dollars down to its bullion value, about 50 cents, or a little less than the trade dollar. If, then, we attempt to pass one of these Bryan dollars after free coinage is a fact, are we not committing the same crime for which Justice Potts held Johnston ? Do we not become a nation of criminals ?" ; ; Commenting upon this, the Post exposes its meanness, unfairness and Irrelevancy as follows : . Here is an attempt to run a parallel where bo sncb thing exists. Neither Mr. Bjyaa nor anybody else is proposing to use an outlawed coin. Whatever might be the bullion value of the silver dollar under free Coinage measured by the gold standard-tt would be legal tender for all debts and receivable by the Gov ment for all does. 'If we attempt to pass these Bryan dollars after free coin age is a fact' we shall certainly violate no law. Should their value1 decline we shall not be able to pass them at .their face value in gold: All our foreign trade is and. will be on a gold - basis. It is on the same basis in oar relations with China as in our British trade. There was a long period in our national history not far back when we bad no coins, no 're demption money' of any kind.- Did we become 'a nation of criminals' when we were on the flat basis? The Supreme 4 Court of Sta'et has declared t" Caress mat at any time issue pa- promises to any amount and make them legal - tender for all debts. Is it possible ' far this people to become ;'a nation' of criminals' while strictly ad hering to the fundamental law as inter preted by the tribunal of last resort? ; "The Cbicigo declaration for free coinage does not ; propose ' to violate fundamental or statutory law, It, aims at what we regard as a dangerous expe riment, bnt it proposes to reach its end by lawful methods. ShcuM this aim be accomplished it mast have the people behind it the people moving by a con stitutional way to carry their will into effect. There is nothing 'criminal in the attempt, and, if successful, the reality will not be a crime. Under our system of government, a system that protects the minority and renders changes ex tremely difficult, the will of the maj irity pat into a constitutional statute cannot be a crime." A short while ago it was an nounced that Jesse Grant, the youngest son of General . Grant, would vote "for free silver, and for Bryan, although he had always been a Republican. Since then, in a let ter to friend, heTias given his rea son, as follows: "I believe honestly In - the great ad vantage to this country of the tree coin age of silver. It does not mean repudi ation of our debts at home or abroad. We could not pay our debts with both gold and silver, even If we had it all, our mortgages being equal to the enormous samof (19,000,000,000. "These debts will have to be paid in produce, and anything that will raise the value of this will, I believe, benefit all classes. "If we can double the price of a silver rupee we can double the price of wheat tbat comes into competition with our wheat and, therefore, double our wheat as to Its debt-paving capacity. "The same argument holds good in the Latin-American countries, and the price of cur meats and live stock. It holds good, too, in the silver ruble and the price of oil. "It holds in many ways too numerous to mention. Instead of foreigners pur chasing the product of our silver mines at the rale cf about 70 cents per . ounce, and with this silver-buying produce (some of which comes in direct competition with our productions), from South America and the Orient, they would have to pay at the rate of f 1.29 per ounce. ' It, which is not probable, the gold bugs, are right in their evil predictions and our money is worth only two shil lings on the dollar well, we would then have the most protective tariff we ever bad, and the excess of exports ever im ports would be so great tbat the dollar would either go up or the pound corns down to the same relative positions that they now occupy.- Aside from his views as to the effect that free coinage would have in raising the prices of farm pro ducts and incidentally of other things, thus benefitting the country at large, he makes another point on which we have written when he says that if the luiid predictions of the gold advocates should prove to be true, and our silver dollar prove to be worth only 50 cents, it would giveus the most protective tariff we ever had, or something that would be better than any protective tariff, because then there would be no need of any tariff legislation to pro tect our manufacturers from foreign competition A wild man was recently discov ered in a cave in New Jersey. His refuge was discovered by the odor of cigarettes which some one detected in passing the entrance to the cave, The cigarette is powerful. CURRENT COMMENT. In Waterloo, N. Y., the Daily Gazette, a Democratic paper pub llshed by the postmaster, has col lapsed. It did not support Bryan and Sewall and so lacked popular support. New York Mercury, Uem It is much doubted if Mr Hanna will "put up" any of his am pie campaign fund to assist Palmer and Backner. It is understood that the men most active in nominating the Indianapolis ticket will have to vote for McKiolejj; or not be able to do business with the Cleveland financier. Cincinnati Enquirer, Dem, It appears from the press re ports that as soon as a laboring man is thrown out of employment by the Democratic "free trade law he pro ceeds to charter a train and travel to Canton to pledge his vote to McKin ley. Every unemployed man seems to have the price of a special train in hi3 pocket these times. Wash. Post, Uem. We have had a good deal to say about Mr. Watson recently, be cause it has seemed to us that his purpose is to do what he can to de teat the Democratic presidenlia ticket unless he is put on that ticket in the place of Sewall. In all the speeches he is making he is attack ing Mr. Sewall, saying that Mr. Sewall is not in haimony with the Democratic platform, and declaring that be Is a drag upon the ticket He has now turned his attention to Mr. Bryan, and is attempting, ap parently, to lesson his popularity with the rank and file of the Demo cratic party.

Much new material is embodied in the artiole "John Randolph of Roanoke," by Powhatan Bouldin in The Century. The following simile by Randolph is found in a note to a speech which he delivered in con gress: - A caterpillar comes to a fence; he crawls to the bottom of the ditch. and over the fence, some of his hun dred feet always in contact with the subject upon whiob he moves. A gallant horseman at a flying leap clears both ditch and fence. Stop 1 says the caterpillar. "Yon are too flighty; you want connection an4 continuity. It took me an hour to get over; you can't be as sure as am, who have never quitted the sub-? ject, that you have overcome the difficulty and are fairly over the fence." "Thou miserable reptile 1 replies our fox hunter. "If, like you, I crawled over the earth slow ly and painfully, should I ever catch a fox, or be anything more than a wretched caterpillar?" Gas and Steam Engines. In the report of tho Fuedlinburg Gas and Water company it is stated that the saving in the cost of pump ing with gas engines, as compared with steam, taking the last year in which steam was used and the seo ond with gas, was 42 percent. While the gas motor occupies less space than the steam engine with its boil er and chimney, it has the advantage as regards attendance, for one man can look after several gas engines, while a steam engine plant of any considerable importance requires an engineman and stoker and often an additional hand to keep up the coal supply. An advantage of the gas motor is that it can at any time be put to work immediately, so that considerable water pressure may be ' made available in a few minutes, so important in oase of fire, Ilurd Lines.

' . f i Two Venturesome Men Hear the Story From an Old Indian,' and With Him a Guide They Seek Out the Place Only : Two of tho Party Return. . " "J You're counting too muoh on tha word of an. Indian. Old Zapetl ia a not ed liar like all these Spanish speaking aborigines. 'V . - " . "Ah, Jack, you do him injustice. He's a deeper liar than you give him credit for. It's ridiculous to believe that the ancients had enough mechanical knowledge to contrive a machine tbat could prevent one from getting at the gold." : ;V ; This last speech was from my old comrade, Tom French. - We were in the interior of Central Amerioa when the foregoing conversation took place. It was the end of many a long debate we had had on the Bubjeot of a search fox a treasure. ': ' - The legend was briefly that deep in the center of a crater of a wornout vol cano the anoient Indians of that coun try had excavated a vault where they had piled up countless bars ol virgin gold. There was above this planted a bowlder, the only indication of the hid ing place. The peculiarity of the crater was that it was four square, half a mile each way, and from the summit to the floor, a distance of 500 feet To reach the floor there was a hidden path and this was guarded by a mysterious gold en band. Tradition, the Indians said, made it possible to locate the mountain in only one way: That was by climbing the peaks in the barren region far above us to the southeastward until one should be found from whose lofty crests there were three other peaks forming a straight line. In the central mountain was the treasure. Pew burdens could be carried with us in that high, rare atmosphere, and we were soon on our way with old Za petl shaking his head, as. if -in predic tion of disaster. Hardened as we were by our out of door life, the strain wae terrible. We lost our way repeatedly and found ourselves confronted by vast crevices in our pathway up the mountain side. Wide detours, costing us half a day and sometimes a day of valuable time, were perforce made, only to find ourselves at the top of a precipice that barred our progress. We had with in finite trouble climbed two lofty moun tains, only to find ourselves at the sum mit out of range of other mountain towns, as demanded by the legend, when I finally refused to go farther. It was suicidal. Half our provisions and water were gone. But Tom pleaded for one more chance. "Do you see that long range?" he cried. "It's in one of those. Let's make one more attempt. " In mis taken pity for him I yielded. As we reached the summit, behold) there were three mountain peaks in a row. Tom sprang forward and after another struggle we were at the top ol the central mountain. As we approach ed the top it could be seen that there had been volcanic action in ages past. Zapetl's eyes were rolling in every di rection, on the lookout for some super natural phenomenon. Suddenly bursting through, dense fringe of bushes we found ourselves on the very edge of a vast crater. As with common impulse we looked to the center, and there was an immense bowlder. "At last," cried -Tom, "at last!" Then he ran his eye along the verge, scanning it foot by foot "The path," he almost screamed. and he stumbled along at a pace that, exhausted as we were, we con Id scarce ly maintain. "Takecare, Tom," I man aged to ejaculate, though I was nearly as wild as he. But Tom apparently heard nothing. He had eyes and ears only for the one goal. The path along the side of the preoi pioe, we could see, led upward from the wide floor of the arena far below us, but the top was concealed from our in tent gaze by a dense mass of shrubbery. Around the sides of the crater we half stumbled, half ran. When we reached the spot where we thought it possible to strike upon the opening, we made dashes here and there into the greenery. After many disappointments a cry from Tom told me the path had been found. Zapetl by this time was in a state of collapse through fear and fatigue. Again I warned Tom to exercise caution, but he plunged ahead, and I followed as slowly as I could. The path downward was not more than a foot in width, and it required all my strength and dexteri ty to keep my footing. Suddenly on rounding a sharp angle in the face of the precipice I was confronted by a flat rock five minutes climb further down. It seemed to be set in the face of the crater and to jut out, cutting off further progress in that direction. The rock was of a peculiar reddish yellow color, and, on looking more intently, it seem ed to take upon itself the shape of a monstrous hand. It flashed over me all at once this was the golden hand of the Indian s legend. I called to Tom, but he was far below me. "Tom, the rock I" I cried hoarsely, and my own voice eound9d strangely in my ears. But Tom had already reached it Sud denly a scream of anguish I shall never forget rose in that awful stillness, -and in another instant I saw that ponderous hand of golden stone sink lower, still lower. Another scream wilder than be fore and Tom's form could be seen striv ing vainly to clutch with his hands the smooth surface as it sank downward with increasing rapidity. I shut my eyes and listened. The sight was too awful to bear. When I opened them, the rock that had turned on a pivot with poor Tom's weight was upright and was moving back to its original place. Of that frightful fall into the crater I nev er dared to think. Old Zapetl and I had weary days of toil in our return to the plantation, ar.d my life was nearly for feited by a fever in which I could hear Tom's last despairing shriek and see him sliding to his awful death.
