the olive and the I'm' tree and the j

and the plant determines the result j
of its digestion. The bee makes j
honey; the spider, poison; the olive, j
berries; the fir tree, lio-s; and the
vine, grapes all working up the1
siiiif elements. And so it is with j
us all. According to our feedimr. !
so are we. tilled, lint here is just
the question: What is the nature j
within us that is beinij fed and cher- i
ished. and bearing fruit? Are we!
of the nat ure of the bee, or the spi-1
der. or the vine, or the ti tree, or !
the bramble? What are our tastes?:
What do we assimilate? What do
we love? Whither are we tending?
To what expanding? The mystery
of mysteries in c-reatlon is that iilen- .
tieally the s;une elements, combined. :
may produce such dilTerent results. ;
We liow and say, ""lis C!od has made

Si ill we lenow we are free, and
thai we can choose th( irood and re

licntlic Success in November.
Never in our recollection has na
tional politics been in such a tangle
as it is now. Never such bitterness
and irreconcilable differences in the
press concerning a platform and a
candidate. Some of their utterances
are shameful, intolerant, dis";ustinj.
They speak of the Chicago platform
as born of anarchy and repudiation
and use till the odious adjectives they
can li ml in the dictionary. The New
York World is especially bitter
against both platform and candidate
and because it cannot find a blemish
in Jlr. IJryan'.s life or record tries to
belittle him as the boy orator. When
Job's three aired friends charged him
with self conceit and rebellion against
his Maker a vmin' man listened and
at hist ventured to speak. He apol
ogized for his youth but added.
"(Jreat men are not always wise nor
does old aire always understand
judgment." The Lord has wroth
against Job's three a;'od friends, but
had ni) word of condemnation for
Klihu.
T don't know how old these bellig
erent editors are who denounce' Mr.
Kryanfor his youth, but they seem
to have forgotten that Jefferson was
only thirty-lhree years old when he
wrote the declaration of indepen
dence, Madison was only forty when J
he and Hamilton wrote and pub-1
lished the Federalist, which is still
said lobe the greatest treatise on
political science that has ever ap
peared in the world. John Marshall
was only thirty-nlr.e when appointed
attorney-oenera! by Washington.
Patrick Henry was but twenty-nine
when he made the speech that tirst
made him famous, and was thirty-'
nine when George Mason said of him,
"He is by far the most powerful
speaker I ever heard. Your passions
are no longer your ow n when he ad
dresses them. He is the first man
upon this continent as well in abili
ties as public virtues." James Mon
ro;' was sent to congress when he
was but t weuty-eio;ht years old, and
when he was but twenty-three Ilan
croft. saysjie was the most conspi
cuous representative upon the iloor
of the house. Henry Clay was sent
to the United States Sene.tr when he
was twenty-nine'. Jolm llamlolph
was leader of the house in ISOO when
he was only 1 weuty-eiLfht years old.
One thino- is certain, Mr. Uryan is
old enough to capture and lead the
old and the younir who are so fortu
nate as to 'near him: and Alfred Lew
is, of the New York Journal, who
has heard all his speeches, savs he
lias never made a failure or a mis
take; that he is a student of all his
tory and burns the midnight oil.
Kvery newspaper correspondent at
Chicago accords to him extraordina
ry abilities and have dared to say so
even to the disgust of the old stairs
who stayed "at home. As to the
platform T cannot see anything in it
that sl.ouid arouse' sueii denuncia
tion. One platform is for .fold and
the other for silver and old. Great
and jood men diiVer honestly about
that and they have a ri-rht to differ.
The best editorial 1 have seen from
a irold standard paper was in the
Uiclmiond Dispatch under the cap
tion of "Don't Kxacrate" the
! spirit df which was "Don't try to
j ll,urm the ople with predictions of
1 1 . . . .
rum and panic and national distress
should silver be restored to its f. r-
mer condition. While we are for a
single gold standard yet we cannot
predict any such evils. The trunsi-
tion will comi! graduady if it comes
at all ami your bankers and commer
cial men are smart enough to pre
pare for it and let it come by de
grees. Don't exaggerate the situa
tion." That is the way to talk and
to write. Let everybody do like my
friend Larramore, who has all the
time been a gold bug but says he
shall support Hryan and the plat
form. I tried, said he, to keep them
from putting that silver plank in the
nlatform, but thev would do it, and
now I am going to stand on it until
it breaks down, and then I can tell
i the boys, "I told you so." And then
! . .- , ' , , . ,

anything to trade on. The higher
the price of things the more money
there was to buy with and a man
felt sorter rich with a bir roll of it
in his pocket, even if it did take 2iM(
to buy a pair of cotton cards. In
times (tf trouble the people have to
jet used, to things, you know, and

once in a while. We obi veterans
can't be scared to death about cur
rency, and all we want is enough of
it, whether it be silver or jold or
jrcen backs. N
Hut we do want something done
to revive our industries and put the
wheels in motion and increase the
values of our land and our products.
.We want our boys t have somethinj
to do at home and not have to jo

We have six boys and they are scat
tered from New York to Mexico.
There is another lamentable conse

Now we don't expect Mr. Hryantoj
reform all the evils that have befal- j
leu the country, but we do expect j
him to veto all the extravagance of j
congress. The reform must begin ;
i right there. This last congress spent
' at least ?'2iii.Ihm,(mmI more than was
! necessary, and it was spent on the
j log-rolling principle of you vote for

ing the hardness of the times
appropriations were outrage

ous. We want Mr. Hryan there to
walch them and curb them like An

doubt. It is in the air

that I was not in Chicago to hear

a little hysteria myself and feel the

Special 'irre-"ihlrncfl.
Husiness during the past week has
continued within contracted limits
in most lines, partly as a result of
mid-summer conditions, but largely
on account of the disturbance of con
fidence by the political movements
of the Silverites and Populists. In
nearly all branches of trade there
has been a noticeable hesitancy to
extend operations beyond the sup
ply of immediate distributing or con
sumptive requirements. The situa
tion, however, is more encouraging,
owin to the action of exchange

and the prompt support oven to the j

banks. The bankers' arrangement
to rejjulate the market for exchange
assures a comparative immunity
from joid exports pending the en
largement of produce shipments
which may be shortly expected; and
if the merchandise outflow shall be
re-enforced by a continuation of the
recent foreign bayimj of securities
it will not be lonjj bi'fore the move
ment of the yellow metal will be in
the direction of this country instead
of away from it. The action of the
banks of leading cities in recouping
the Treasury reserve by liberal
transfers of rf)ld in exchange for
legal tenders is a demonstration of
sustained faith in the stability of
Government credit which should
have a good effect in arresting any
tendency to the private hoarding of
gold in timorous apprehension of
Siiverite ascendency at the Fall
elections. Husiness failures during
last week, as reported by It. G. Dun

market more nearly bare of old sup
plies than that of any recent year.
Homestie spinners are buying very
little on account of the unsatisfacto
ry trade in cotton goods, the market
for which has not yet been apprecia
bly quickened by the shut-down of
mills. Kxports of cotton are moder
ate, but Iikvlv to increase soon, as
Kuropean stocks are but little more
j than half as large as they were a
year ago. Huyers at home and
abroad, however, are disposed to
test the effect upon prices of the
coming big crop.
Wheat prices have been well sup
ported, in consequence of reports of
injury to grain in shock and a re
tardation of thrashing operations by
wet weather. Compared with fig
ures current a week ago prices are
generally J of a cent per bushel
higher. Values of oats have also
been strengthened by less satisfacto
ry returns from the harvest field,
which indicate that, while the yield
will be large in quantit, much of
the grain will be deficient in quality.
Corn prices, on the other hand, have
declined H to 1 cents because the
weather conditions, which have been
unfavorable for wheat and oats,
have benefitted the growing corn
crop; and the prospects are very en
couraging for a large production.
Winter wheat receipts at interior
centres have been moderate, al
though for the season to date they
have exceeded the small movement
for the corresponding period last
year. The movement of Spring
wheat has fallen off a little, but has
been of large proportions in compar
ison with the earlier weeks of the
previous crop year. Trade esti-
mates point to a production of Win-
ter wheat about the same as that of
last year, but indicate a moderately
decreased outturn of Spring wheat.
The interior movement of corn i--
increasing, and has been encouraged
by recent freight rate reductions on
Western railroads. Export demand
for corn, however, has been less ac
tive. Xew low price records have
been established for hog products in
Chicago, where market rates are
lower than they were a week ago by
23 cents per barrel on pork and 25
to 271 cents per 100 pounds on short
ribs and lard. The decline is due to
excessive stocks and curtailed con
sumption. Exports of provisions
have reached fair proportions, but
last week's shipments fell short.
