A. B. Flack Aa Old Line Democrat Addr (rover To G rover Clevelan I, President The following item, from tbe Oakland Times, expresses the feelings sad judg ment, of the majority of the farmers of tbe couatry.' Men die but expect to rise again The Democratic party died fn year gone y but Pho-nlx llk rose frem tbe rutne purged from lie iniquities and stronger ihaoevsr. It has now (thanks to Cleveland) become so rotten the second time tbat nothing but death caa purge it and again make It the respect ed and honored party of eld. Cleve land' bullbeadedness ha ruined tbe party, lie was elected on the Chicago platform in which certain tbtags were promised the people believing those promises would be kept tbe voters cuangen irom the nigh tar in ana me nopoly party to the Democratic party, hoping to gain thereby. In tbl they bare twen disappointed. Why? Be cause Orover Cleveland ha allowed Wall street and eastern corporations to dictate bis policy or administration. As a consequence the south and west nave oen completely ignoea. to re turn they will smite tlx hand tbat ruined them. Oakland limes (Dees.) If there had been any doubt in our mind of your being completely under tbe dictation "of Wall Street and at ern corporations," your veto of the clgnlorsg bill would atoace bar dis polled them. Dank presidents and banker bold a meeting In New York city, and by rcso lutlons declare that they desire you to veto the bill, and declare tbat "they have a claim upon the administration for a veto of this bill." and like a faith ful servant you do their bidding, The reaion which they give for having a claim upon you Is, tbat they "bncame ubscrlbor to tbe last loan negotiated by tbe government." I'ray tell us who asked or advised you to make that loan. Not the people not tbe Democratic voters, they have always been opposed to the Issuing of bond. You wall know, and o doe every Democratic voter know that these am bank presidents and bankers urged you to Issue tbe bonds. If tbe admlnis tration had coined tbis silver the lean need not have been made Interest on the bond would have been saved, and you, Mr. Cleveland, would not have been made the Jumping Jack of the bank presidents, and bankers, of New York city- Hat not satisfied with doing their bidding, simply, you must show your subterviency to them by givhg In your veto message. Thin, silly reasons, Your statement tbat, "Our .ecovery from financial disturbance has nevertheless steadily progressed, and though less than Ave month have elapsed since tbe repeal of the mischievous silver purchase requirement, a wholesome Im provement 1 unmistakably apparent," I another evidence tbat tbe prosperity ef Wall feitreet li the only prosperity which you desire, and have any regard for. It it quite true that Interest since tbe repeal of tbat act has advanced from one to two per cent. Dut cattle hav declined one dollar a hundred; pork, mutton, wheat, and In fact every blnssfd thing a farmer produce has declined in like proportion. Aod If your financial policy is to continue, the farmer have absolutely nothing to encourage them to continue business. To a man of common sense, if the maker of an obligation performs accord ing to It stipulations, be maintains his credit. And yet It appears from your mfssag that while the treasury note given by the government for silver bullion, at e by their term n.ad payable in gold 0M7Mr In the dlicrtllon of tht Stcrttary of tht Trtaiury. your adminis tration, ha given the holdtri of these treasury note geld, in payment, and tha', too, when gold' was scarce, and silver so plenty tbat It yet remains In the vault unused. And this ytu tall "sound financial methods!" Whether they a" sound r net, they certainly are not tuo methods which you promised the Democratic party to fellow, aad th uow meet the disap pointment of the majority of the pro ducing olasies.

Schcylxr, Neb, April 0, H'.X. Editor Wialth Maieju: If it were necessary to give a word of esoouragemenf, I want to at this time especially endorse and warmly com meod every word yon utw red in your editorial of last week, entitled "John Brown March'ng On." It I indeed a matter worthy of more than passing notice In thi day of cringing, vacillat ing abeervieacy to plutocracy, to des potlc power, that there are yet men In whose vela the proud blood of Ameri can freeman etlll flow,aea who have tbe courage of their conviction and are not afraid to boldly denouaee wrong aad advocate right and justice wherever assailed men wko will not hide ia tha shadow of Gold King and chxe their eye aad ear to tbe pleading voice of wretched, starving humanity. Who ha a right to conderna unheard Caxey, Brown and tbelr army of dcstl tute human being now marching on to Washington, ragged, hungry, weary and foot sore, there to stand before those who have sworn to protect their beet interests (a living petition against the present accursed political condition), and to confront those who hav to base ly betrayed tbem? Our l'opullst Henatore should not be too willing and ready to rush Into print, severely condemning all such demon stratlons, Let them remember tbat the same spirit made more Intense by suffering that lead these teens log Insano people across our con tlaent that thiy may appear ia person wb're Justice should pi bad, and there demand it fulfillment this same need and spirit, we say, ha placed Ihm in the United States Sen ate, It would be well for tbem to remem ber tbat they were elected to carry ut, aod not to dictate, what the people should do or how they should do It. The l'opullst papers and tbe l'opullst as Individual, are all too slow to stand by and boldly defend on another, The fight I on; labor must stand to gether, Only brave men are wanted to lead; let the coward sneak to tbe rear, There I no longer any use for the weak knoed apologist. The conflict between capital and labor will grow more des perate and fierce in it march toward the final contest. It may be prolonged, but it will not bo stopped. Coxle and his army of weary pilgrims are but significant In cident growing out of tbe general con dltlon, It is surprising. that such demonstra tion are so peaceably Inclined, when the cause Is so criminally desperat. In conclusion, like you, I for myself would like to se every man, woman and child all over this broad land from ocean to ocean, from lake to gulf, all who have felt the pang of hunger, all whose live ha been blattcd, all whose home have been destroyed, all who by disappointment have been driven in line, all who have placed friends in suicide's grave, caused by the past sg of criminal legislation I would see these all form In the Nation' Capitol and there in an endless chain march through tbe Halls of Congres, until their pinched and weird form by day and their ghostly shadow by night, would to hauot the black-hearted trait or whose crime can never be measured that waking or asleep, the picture of that endless procession of human misery and hopeless despair, would never cease to hover over them, and gnaw at their conscience until every wrong is fuljy righted. Yours faithfully when tbe battle wage fiercest. John I, MxtTuiiD, The Way All Mhould lteet.

Both the Democratic and Republican parties have established bead-quarter and are today preparing million of campaign document to bo sent out dur ing t'ils campaign, It I th opinion of the nb ret: Jest politician at Washington, tbat if tbe People's Party take advantage of tho blunder and infamy of tho present administration, there will be no trouble In electing l'opullst member enough to bold tbe balance of power in tbe next Congress. It is alto admitted by tbe closest observer among both tbe Dumwratle tnd Republican politician that tho next election of president will bo thrown into the House, hlch will give the Populists tbe power to dictate who shall be tbe next president of the United States? Tho election in tbe state of Oregon comes off in June, and in Alabama in August. We are al most absolutely sure to carry Alabama, and wo stand an even obanco with either of tbe old parties in Oregon. To help t) carry Oregon and Alabama I to help put life and entbuttaim in oar party in every state In the Union, The People' rarty ia composed of tbo great common people of the country who are poor and honest. It has no millionaires, bank or railroad corpora tions upon which to call for campaign funds. The National Commlttoo ha estab lished head-quarter at Washington where It can procure an unlimited amount of campaign literature at a small cost. One thousand dollar used n ei-r party will do a much work as a hundred thousand dollars In olther of the old parties. After carefully considering the above facts and the bright prospect for our party ia the coming campaign, we feel It our imperative duty to appeal to our people everywhere to oome to the aid of the national committee In doing this great work. In th last election our purty polled more than a million votes for president. Wo now earnestly appeal to 1,000 of tbat number to give us IS each, 10,000 to life u II each, 20,000 50 cents oach, 20,000 23 eeuts each, and the remainder ofth one million to give us 10 cent and S cents each. We also earnestly appeal to all People' Tarty Clubs, Le gions, and League to raise what fund they can for the committee, by taking up collections, giving ntrUlnmnU etc. We make this request because we believe It our duty to do wi.

The cultivation of tbe sugar-cane wa introduced In Louisiana about a century ago, tho plant being brought from the West Indian UUuds. For tho benefit of Northern renders, nays a wi tter In Blue and Gray, I will say that sugar-cane is a plant of the grass family, and Is propagated not from sued, but by the planting of the original stalk. It requlros a strong, rlh soli Is hardy in thu sense of en during great extremes of drought or moisture, but ie killed by a temper ature as low as thirty-two degrees Fahrenheit The cane 1 planted in the ground lengthwise, with the end touching oacn other, The row are about four or live feet apart to allow for the ipreadlng growth of the cane, which In maturity shows no opening be tween tha rows. The now shoots iprlng from every Joint of tha plant ed stalk, there ofton being twenty four or more joints in a stalk of cane. The result Is a com pact mass of lux uriant growth, Interrupted at Inter vals by a long, straight ditch a few feet deep and four to fivo feet wide. in midwinter seodfeune -L o. , cane to be used in making next year's crop is "wlndrowud." When tho frost lies whito on tho ground one o whole fields of wlndrowod cane. This process is simply placing the :uno in rows on tho ground, first covering with leaves und dried grans and then over that a light covering of earth. By this juciins tho natural JuiclnuHS of tho cane is prcHcrvod from tho sapping influence of frost, ('una has .been known to run for four years, without a second planting, i-oininir up ouch your from the old root, but this is rare and replanting I gonorally necessary the third year, the stubblo being exhausted by that timo. Tho rano can bo planted any time during tho winter months, but so far tho bent results appear to coma from planting in February, us in the old days, Mules are einployod al most exclusively aud seem to get. along admirably with the negroes, as though through some afllnlty or mutual undorstundlng, It is gravely asserted that a Louisiana mule qulto understands tho limit of his own on 'lurances, and though perfectly docilo as a rulo will become stubborn and absolutely refuso to continue when ho has done what he considers a day's work. The aetivo work of cultivation be gins In the autumn, when tho ground is plowed and broken up very deeply by means of a four mule plow. The planting, as wo have seen, is usually llnlshed in February. The flrt hoots look very much like corn, and during tho month of May tho weak little stalks appear to stand quite itill and give no promiso of tho luxuriant growth to follow, This is called tho 'sucking period, " und in a short timo tho oi-lglnul shoot will be surrounded by a score or moro of now stalks, each one as vigorous as Itself. By July the cultivation is complete. A deep furrow Is made between the rows and tho crop Is said to bo "laid by." During July and August, comes the rainy season, during which the cane grows rich in ap, and by October the plant has matured and tho harvest begins.
