He carries on miscella neous farming, but is a specialist in fino hogs. He still takes great inter estin educational matters, and is a firm friend and patron of our State university. His family consists of him might well be proud, and is a father of whom any child might bo proud and will make a stato treasurer of whom tha stato will be proud.' Possess Your Souls. In Patience. There are doubtless Eomo indepen dents who feel disappointed and sore over tho defeat of their preferred can didates. It is very natural that they should. I believe nearly every ono of these will fall into line, and faithfully support tho ticket if nothing is done to drive them away from the party. There is a disposition on tho part of some other independents to be rash and hasty in d.aling with their dissatisfied brethren. To all such, I want to offer a word of good advice: Tho thing for you to do is not to de nounce such men as traitors, nor to an grily abuse them. Go to them and en deavor b7 reason and kindness to show them the true course for them to pursue. Try to show them their error. Be not hasty to impute bad motives to such persons. Let ' charity for all, and malice toward none," be your mot to. Thus, and thus only can the ranks be speedily solidilied for the contest. YOUR UNCLE TIMOTHY. Lincoln, Nebr., Aug. 5. IMPORTANCE OF MONEY. The Condition of a Country Dependent Upon Its Circulation. The civilization of a nation is largely if not entirely dependent upon its money, for upon its abundance or scarcity depends the social, moral and intellectual status of its people. Allison says : "The fall of the Roman empire so long ascribed in ignorance, to slavery, heathenism and moral corruption, was in reality brought about by a decline in the cold an'l silver mines of Spain and Greece." The United States monetary ! commission of 1877, page 50, says: j "Money is the great instrument of assoc- . iation, the very hber of social organism, the vitalizing force of industry, the the protoplasm of civilization, and as essential to its existence as oxygen is to animal life. Without money civiliza tion could not have had a beginning and with a diminishing supply it must languish, and unless relieved finally perish." With this view of a circulating medium before us its importance must at once be recognized. Blood is to the animal life what money is to the body politic, and an abundant healthful sup ply is as necessary to the life of the one as the other. An abundant supply, how ever, is not more necessary It Is a People's Party. Pier-headed Republican editors are Irvine: to make capital out of the fact 1 tho brain tho body sickens and unless for cither than freedom of circulation. With a congestion of blood in the lungs, or on that all tho candidates on tho People's party ticket are not farmers. They have been tolling business and pro fessional men heretofore that the Peo ple's party was a farmers' party and that other classes of American citi zens could oxpect no recognition from relieved dies. With the money con gested in the United States treasury or the bank vaults of Wall street the country languishes, business is depress ed, enterprise ceases, and unless relief comes the nation must perish. An abundant supply of money hoarded in treasuries or bank vaults, bears the same it. They have endeavored to create relation to the body politic as the blood class prejudice against it in this way. Now that the party has demonstrated tho absolute falsehood of their own claims by recognition of other classes, they next seek to oxcite prejudice in tho minds of the farmers on this ac count. They are so exceedingly busy in their bloody-shirt campaign, and in their frantic efforts to excite preju dico among tho people, that they have no time to dovote to tho issues involved in the party platforms. Verily tho shattered remnant of tho grand old party is in a hard row of stumps. Topeka Advocate. An Example, Truly. As the Argentine smash-up is often brought forward as a horrible exam ple" to the People's party it is well to rehearse the facts occasionally. The Topeka Advocate does it thus tersely: "Never were the people of a corrupt government victimized by a more graceless set of sharks than were the people of the Argentine Republic. European capitalists entered into compacts with the government of ficials, and through the various bank ing systems established for the pur pose, the most gigantic and systemat ic robberies were perpetrated in the name of the law and by authority of the government. The speculation preceded the issue of the money and was engaged for the purpose of effect- I corpse. To re-establish circulation in ' cither case would be to restore life. To restore the physical life is beyond human law, but the body politic may bo re suscitated by wholesome laws within the scope of man's legislation. To strike a man a blow that fells him to the earth, stops the circulation of blood and kills him, is called murder and in the category of crime stands at the head. But to smite a nation with a law that stops the circulation of, or destroys its money, is a crime for which language has failed to find a name, and beside which all other crimes sink into insig nilicancc.

Rye is a sure crop in both dry and wot seasons. The farmers of southern Nebraska will verify this statement. Considering the price of rye and the certainty of tho crop, it is the most valuable and desirable to raise. In the vicinity of tho paper mills in Illinois rye is planted very extensively and the straw sold to the mills. The Lincoln paper mills will use live thou sand tons of straw during the next year. Rye straw averages one ton per acre as against one half ten of oat "straw.

He was so poor that he had to mort gage his home to get funds to carry on his campaign. At fo.OOO a year, his salary for thirty years would amount to only $150,000; but his check is good for several millions any where. Now it takes a good deal of economy to raise, educate, feed and clothe a family for thirty years on $150, 000 and save several million dol lars out of it. Honest John" says, You can't legislate money into a man's pocket". Sherman is not the only poor fellow who has become rich in this way. This is the reason legis lation is all against the masses.

It is useless to attempt to strike s balance of wrong between the Carncgit Steel Co. and the workingmen at Home stead. The situation is all wrong be cause it represents an appeal to vio lence to settle differences which shoul be adiustcd bv peaceable and lega methods. For the workingmen then are extenuating circumstances whicl cannot be ureed in behalf of thi Carnegie managers. The passional outbreak of these men arises from i deeo feeling of resentment for wha they regard as a great wrong. The feel themselves to be fighting for thei, homes and bread for themselves am their famalies.
