HILL'S POLITICAL HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. By Thomas E. HilL This is a large octavo book of 450 pages, condensed by tabulation into a small book that it may be universally sold and circulated at a low price. ; , Its purpose is to clearly present, in a manner entirely non-partisan, the merit attaching to each party. Ne partiality is shown in behalf of any political organization. Like the dictionary, it simply defines. It gives the best-known argument in favor of each, and leaves the reader free to choose which he will serve. ' . It treats upon the important live issues of the time, and is an indis pensable work to people who would intelligently discuss the political situation. It is a very exhaustive compendium of Political Facts, and literally answers thousands of questions. To illustrate: What are Democratic principled What doe. a tingle tax advocate propose' If all tax waa placed on land, what would be the tax on the farm! What would be the tax on suburban prop erty, and how mnchon the acre worth two million dollar in the center of the city t What does a Republican believe!

Adopted by the Convention at Om aha Nebraska, July 4, 1802. Assembled upon the one hundred and sixteenth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the People's Party of America, in their first national conven tion, invoking upon their action the blessings of Almighty God, puts forth in the name, and on behalf of the people Of the country, the following preamble and declaration of principles: - The conditions which surround us best justify our co-operation; we meet in the midst of a nation brought to the verve of moral, political and material ruin. Corruption domiuates the bnllot box, the legislatures, the Congress, and touches even the ermine of the bench. The people are demoralised: most of the states have been compelled to isolate the voters at the polling places to prevent universal intimidation or bribery. The newspapers are largely subsidized or muzzled; public opinion silenced; business prostrated; our homes covered with mortgages; labor impover ished; and the land concentrating in the bands of the capitalists. The urban workmen are denied the right of organi sation for self-protection; imported pau perized labor beats down their wages; a hireling army, unrecognized by our law, is established to snoot them down; and they are rapidly degenerating into Euro pean conditions. The fruits of the toil of millions are boldly stolen to build up colossal fortunes forafew,unprecedeutea in the history of mankind, and the pos sessors of these in turn despise the re public and endanger liberty. From the same prolific womb of governmental in justice we breed the two great classes tramps and millionaires. The national power to create money is appropriated to enrich bondholders; a vast public debt, payable in legal tender currency, has been funded in to gold-bearing bonds, thereby adding millions to the burdens of the people. Silver, which has been accepted as coin since the dawn of history, has been de monetized to add to the purchasing pow er of gold, by decreasing the value of all forms of property, as well as human la bor, and the supply of currency is pur posely abridged to fatten usurers, bank rupt enterprise, and enslave industry. A vast conspiracy against mankind has been organized on two continents, and it is rapidly taking possession of the world. If not met and overthrown at once it forebodes terrible social convul sions, the destruction of civilization, or the establishment of an absolute despot ism. We have witnessed for more than a quarter of a century the struggles of the two great political parties for power and plunder, while grievous wrongs have been inflicted upon the suffering people. We charge that the controlling iufluencs dominating both these parties have per mitted the existing dreadful conditions to develop, without serious effort to prevent or restrain them. Neither do they now promise us any substantial reform. They have agreed together to ignore, in the coming cam paign, every issue but one. They pro pose to drown the outcries of a Dlundered people with the uproar of a sham battle over the tariff; so that capitalists, corpo rations, national banks, rings, trusts, watered stock, the demonetization of sil ver, and the oppressions of the usurers may all be lost sijcht of. They propose to sacrifice our homes, lives aud children on the altar of Mammon; to destroy the multitude in order to secure corruption funds irom the millionaires. Assembled on the anniversary of the birthday of the nation, and tilled with the spirit of the grand generation of men, who estab lished our independence, we seek to re store the government of the Kepublie to the hands of "the plain people," with whose class it originated. Weassertour purposes to be identical with the purpose of the national constitution: "to forma more perfect union, establish justice, in sure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty ourselves and our posterity." We declare that this republic can only endure as a free government while built upon the love oi the whole people for each other and for the nation; that it cannot be pinned together by bayonets, that the civil war is over and that every passion and resentment which grew out of it must die with it; and that we must be in fact, as we are in name, one united brother hood. Our country finds itself confront ed by conditions for which there is no S recede nt in the history oi. the world, ur annual agricultural productions amount to billions of doHars in value, which must within a few weeks or months be exchanged for billions of dollars of commodities consumed in their produc tion: the existing currency supply is wholly inadequate to make this exchange. The results are falling prices, the forma tion of combines and rings, and the im poverishment of theproducingclass. We pledge ourselves that if given power ws will labor to correct these evils by wise and reasonable legislation, In accordance with the terms of our platform. We believe that the powers of govern ment iu other words, of the people should be expanded (as in the case of the postal service) as rapidly and as far as the good sense of an intelligent people, and the teachings of experience, shall Instify; to the end that oppression, in ustice and poverty shall eventually ceass in the land. While our sympathies as a party of re form are naturally upon the side of every proposition which will tend to make men intelligent, virtuous and temperate, we nevertheless regard these questions im portant as they are as secondary to the great issues now pressing for solution; and upon which not only our individual prosperity, but the very existence of free institutions depends; and we ask all men to first help us to determine whether we are to have a republic to administer, be fore we differ as to the conditions, noon I wuiuu ii in 10 no Buiniuiaiereu; ueneviug llmt-tIocrjeiannJiusjii JieH will nnwar omua t.n mnva fnrwRrrl nn. I ized will never cease to move forward un til every wrong is righted and equal pri vileges established for all the men and women of this country. We declare, therefore, UNION OF THE PEOPLE. First, That the union of the labor forces of the United States this day con summated, shall be permanent and per petual; may its spirit enter into all hearts for the salvation of the republic and the uplifting of mankind. Second, Wealth belongs to him who creates it; and every dollar taken from industry, without an equivalent, is rob bery. "If any man will not work neither shall he eat." The interests of rural and civic labor are the saute; their enemies are identical. . ; Third. We believe that the time hus come when the railroad corporations will either own the people or the people must own the railroads; and should the government enter upon the work of own ing and managing the railroads, we should favor an amendment to the con stitution by which all persons engaged In the government service shall be pro tected by civil service regulations of the most rigid character, so as to prevent the increase of the power of the national administration by the use of such addi tional gonernmeut employes. FINANCE. Wedamanda national currency, safe, sound and flexible; issued by the general government only; a full legal tebder for all debts publio and private; and that witnout tne use ot banningnorporatious; a just equitable and efficient means of distribution direct to the people, at a tax not to exceed 2 per cent per annum, to be provided as set forth in the sub-treasury plan of the Farmers' Alliance, or some better system; also by payments in discharge of its obligations for publio improvements: We demand free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the present legal ration of 16 to 1. We demand that the amount of cir culating medium be speedily increased to not less than $50 per capita. We demand a graduated income tax. We believe that the money of the country should be kept, as much as pos sible, in the hands ot the people; and hence we demand that all state and na tional revenues shall be limited to the necessary expenses of the government, economically and honestly administered. We demand that postal savings batiks be established by the government for t he safe deposit of the earnings of the people and the facilitation of exchange. TBANSPOBTATIOM. Transportation being a means of ex change and a public necessity; the gov ernment should own and operate the railroads in the interest of the people. The telegraph and telephone, like the postofflce system, beiug a necessity, for the transuiissionof news, should be owned and operated by the government in the interests of the people. , . ; LANDS. ' The land, including all natural re sources of wealth, is the heritage of the people, and should not be monopolized for speculative purposes; and alien owner ship of land should be prohibited. All land now held by railroads and other corporations in excess of their actual needs, and all lands now owned by aliens, should be reclaimed by the gov ernment and held for actual settlers only. . RESOLUTIONS. The following resolutions were offered independent of the platform, and were adopted, as expressive of the sentiments of the convention: Resolved, That wedemandafree ballot and a fair count in all elections, and pledge ourselves to secure to it every legal voter without federal intervention, through the adoption by the states of the unperverted Australian secret ballot system. Resolved, That therevenue derived from a graduated income tax should be appli ed to the reduction of theburdenof taxa tion now levied upon the domestic in dustries of this couutry. Resolved, That we pledge our support to fair and liberal pensions U ex-Umou soldiers and sailors. Resolved, Tha we condemn the fallacy of protecting American labor under the present system, which opens our ports to the pauper and .criminal classes of the world, and crowds out our wage-earners and we denounce the present Ineffective law against contract labor, and demand the further restriction of undesirable immigration. Resolved, That ws cordially sympa thize with the efforts of organized work ingmen to shorter the hbursotlabor and demand a rigid enforcement of the exist ing eight-hour law on government work, and ask that a penalty clause be added to said law. Resolved, That we regard the main tenance of a ' large standing army of mercenaries, known as the Pinker ton system, as a menace to our liberties, and ws demand its abolition, and wecondernn the recent invasion of the Territory of Wyoming by the hired assassins of Plutocracy, assisted by Federal officers. Resolved, That we commend to the thoughtful consideration of the people and the reform press, the legislative sys tem known as the Initiative and Referen dum. Resolved, That we favor a constitu tional provision limiting the office of a president and vice president to one term, and providing for the election of the senators by a direct vote of the people. Resolved, That we oppose any subsidy or national aid to any private corpora tion for any purpose. H. E. Taubeneck, Chairman, Marshall, Illinois. J. H. Turner, Secretary, Georgia.

Nltrojrenua. and Carbonaceous Feeds- Draught Harness fcorichunt Mott.ses Bell Besnlts From Mlage Farm Motes and Uome Hints. Vela of the Legumes. The nitrogenous are the most ex pensive and the most necessary foods, and it is valuable to know that a cer tain family of common plants. are ex cessively nitrogenous, says Colman's Rural World. This family is botau ically known as the legumes, aud Includes the clovers, peas, beans, vetches. C. H. F.verett of Beloit, Wis., at the Wisconsin dairymen's convention said on this subject: "We need to economize in the pro duction of plants rich in protein. I do not believe that any man is just ified in paying $25 a ton for oil meal, where he can produce pea meal on his own farm. The chemist finds twenty-five pounds of digestible pro tein in 100 pounds of oil meal, and in 100 pounds of pea meal he finds twenty pounds, which means 600 pounds of digestible protein in one ton of oil meal, and 40J pounds in one ton of pea meal. I can produce one ton of pea meal for about f 12, or sixty cents per hundred, as against $1.25 per hundred for oil meal If I receive no other value from either of the feeds than the protein, then I would pay f 8 per hundred for the 4U0 pounds in the pea meal, 15 per hundred for the 600 pounds in the oil moal. But in ad dition to the protein the pea meal contains 1.160 pounds of digestible carbohydrates and fat to the tin, while in one ton of oil meal there is but H6i) pounds. The next crop that I consider of great value to the dairyman is clover. In 100 pounds of clover hay there are eight pounds of digestible pro tein, or 170 pounds in one ton. I produce three tons of clover hay to the acre on the average, which gives mo 440 pounds of digestible protein from an acre. A good average yield of timothy hay is two tons per acre. There is ninety pounds of digestiblo protein in one ton of this kind of hay, or 180 pounds in two ions from the one acre. Now J have 480 pounds of protein from the acre of clover, and 180 pounds from the acre of tim othy. I can produce the three tons of clover as cheaply as I can the two tons of timothy, with the ex ception of the difference In the cost of seed and harvesting the extra ton. The two tons of timothy will cost me in the barn $5.76, or $2.88 per ton. If I make no. account of the car bohydrates the 480 pounds ot protein I get from the acre of clover will cost me $&75, while the 180 pounds from the timothy has cost me $5. 75. To make it more plain, I am paying $1.43 per hundred for protein in the clover, and $3. 15 per hundred for that found in timothy. "There is still another kind of food the dairyman can produce with econ omy, and it has a high feeding value, being fully as rich in protel . as clo ver hay. I refer to oat and pea hay. The chemist finds nine pounds of digestible protein in 100 pounds of dried pea vines. In raising this kind of feed it is best to sow two bushels of oats and one of peas. In cutting, no attention should be given to the maturity of peas, but start the mower when the oats are in - milk. More value will be secured in this way when Intended as a hay crop than if left for the grain to ripen. "It is not difficult to obtain three tons of oat and pea hay to the acre. It should be cured in the cock, the same as clover, and that will pro duce a nice green color, good flavor, and a palatable food, and, like clover hay, if cut early it is more digestible and easy of assimilation. We should always remember that it is the' digestible nutrients in any feed that make it valuable that part that can be digested and assimilated. I can produce oat and pea hay, yielding three tons per acre, for $2. 95 per ton. "The cheapest way that I can pro vide the most and beet food of a car bouaceous character is with the corn plant and silo Fnsilage is rich in carbohydrate; it makes a succulent and easily digested food. There It no waste in feeding, and it has many advantages iu economy over the same plant air-dried. I find it best to raise the larger corn, that will pro duce an abundance of well-eared stalks. This kind of corn ' will al ways mature with me sufficiently td make good ensilage, and will yield fifteen tons to the acre. I advise dairymen to raise the largest variety of corn that will mature to the roast ing stage where they reside. There are many ways to cheapen the cost of an acre of corn, or a ton of ensi lage in the silo." Iring-ht Harness. The attachment of the side or tug straps is an important feature. The staple on the hames should be neithei ''too-blffe- tMsriMloir,vbufc at just tht point where the draught will bring the collar with an even pressure upon the shoulders. If the hames are either over large or too small for the collar, it will be difficult to make a proper adjustment. For field work there should be no more gearing than possible, and when it is seen that any part of the harness galls, stop at once and make new adjust ments. A collar for a horse to work easily should fit well. Sufficient at tention is not usually paid to this point A large horse is made to wear a small collar, and a small horse a large collar, a thin that should not be done. When purchas ing, got a collar that is well adapted to the neck and shoulders, then dip It in water until the leather is mois tened through, and put the horse to 1 work. Let It it adapt itself and dry rill be a good fit ever there. after. Keeping- MUM Fresh. Here is a little device which has been invented to keep milk fresh several day a It consists essentially in a kind of closed vessel or sauce pan, with an opening in the top, to which a glass tube, closed at its up per end is adjusted, the joining being rendered air tight by means oi an India rubber ring. The tube is marked with two horizontal lines, numbered respectfully 75 degrees and 80 degrees centigrade. The vessel is filled with milk up to the edge of the neck, which is then closed with the glass tube, and is now placed on a sand mattress, or bainmarie, over a fire. The milk rises to 75 degrees and soon after to 8 J degrees, and may be removed from the fire after remaining at the above temperature from 10 to 20 minutes, and cooled by placing the vessel iu water of the tenfperature of from 10 to 20 degrees. Milk thus treated will keep fresh from three to four days. Moles for Farm Work. The mule is used much more than the horse in the South, probably in part because Southern negro laborers are not to be trusted with the more spirited and valuable animals. A Southern planter mentions as advan tages of mules over horses: Their feet are smaller, and : so they injure the crops less when working in them, and can be used in closer rows than horses; they are less liable to di-ea-e, are better feeders, being less fastidi ous as to what they eat, endure hard en p better, are not so easily injured, and are steadier to work at the plow. The experience of most Northern farmers with mules is that however erviceablo for work on the farm it is less pleasant and less safe to work among them. Good horses are none the worse for the farm, because they require better care than the mule will put up with Horsham Molasses. In making sorghum molasses th juice should be run into three vats of sufficient capacity to keep at least two hours ahead of the boiling. As each vat is filled stir in unslaoked lime until litmus paper dipped in the juice will not change in color. The lime will neutralize the acid and cause more impurities to rise with the scum. After the lime juice has settled for two hours, draw into a defactor and boll down. When draw ing, the tap should be two inches above the bottom of the tank to allow the sediment to settle. After use, the vat should be thoroughly clean ed. The boiling should be done as rapidly as possible. It is the slow and uneven boiling that colors the syrup. A good boiler will keep the pan filled with a white foam. Cool the molasses as rapidly as possible. Farm and Home. Heat Results From Silage. No one thinks of feeding cows ex clusively on corn silage. They need some dry feed with it, and this it will pay to buy if the farm itself does not afford them. As an instance of this, Mr. G it Beach of Whitewater, Wis., grew four and a half acres of corn silage last year. To make the best use of this he fed $80 worth of hay and $120 worth of wheat bran to his herd of cows. After paying back the money value of the hay and the bran the cows afforded a net profit of $100 for each acre of corn put into the silo. Corn is not alone a well-balanced ration for any animal, and the feeder who does not under stand how to balance it and get the best results has neglected the most important part of his business. American Cultivator. F irro Notes. The refuse of the cider press should always go to the swine. When forest leaves can be got they make excellent bedding for swine. Everyone must be his own judge about growing artichokes for swine. Another man thinks he has found a way to control sex, but it is a de lusion all the same. Idle horses in winter will be bene fitted by feeding them corn fodder awhile and then hay. Breeding animals should have ex ercise and this necessitates a lot for them to run in some of the time. If the horses are worked down feed generously c n ground corn and oats mixed with cut hay and well salted. When calves arj from three to six. months old and weigh from eighty five to 100 pounds they are beat for the market Home Hint. Two parts of ammonia with one of turpentine uiakus a mixture which will soften old paint and varnish so that they can be easily scraped off. Embroidery should be ironed on the wrong side. It should be placed upon a piece of heavy white flannel or flat, covered with a clean piece of white cotton, and pressed until per fectly dry. i Violet and orris make the best combination for bureau and chiffonier sachets. The orris imparts a de licious odor of cleanliness, and the violet gives just the suspicion of actual fragrance that is needed. If ink is spili9d on a carpet or woolen tablecloth put on immediate ly a thick layer of common salt. When this has absorbed all the ink possible scrape off and apply more. Keep doing this until all the ink has been taken up. To clean white silk lace spread a piece of white paper with calcined magnesia, lay thn lace upon it, cover with another sheet of paper, and place between the pages of a heavy dook ior several aays. onaKe on tne powder and the lace will be whit id clean. . 4
