The world is full of pcoplo who imaglno that tho yabllo cares for what they think. Tho man who llkou to work muBt havo n lot of things on his mind that ho wonts to forgtit. It is a mistaken notion to Imaglno that you can amuBo a busy man by telling him what fun you had whllo on a vacation. If tho details In the now celebrated Yardo-Bullcr dlvorco caso In London nro all true It should bo another warn ing to Amorlcnn glrle aa to marrying fortune-hunting Englishmen.

This boy ran away to tho woodB twolvo years ago, being 10 years old at tho time. The surrogato of Now York decided tho other day that Georgo Gould "earned" tho extra flvo millions given him by tho codicil of his father's will, and consequently ie not forced to pay 'tho Inheritance tax thereon. This tmoney was "duo" him, according to this decision, for his labors In the In terest of tho 03tnto for tho twelve years prior to lib father's death. ThU may be all right in this individual Instance, (but It Is rather a dangerous precedent to make apparently. Tho report of tho Navigation bureau (Shows that during tho yoar ending June 80, 189C, 709 vessels of 204.000 gross tons wcro built in tho United States, and 'officially numbered by tho Bureau of 'navigation, compared with C82 vessels ,of 133,000 tons gross for last year, an Increase of 71,000 tons. Steam vessels built numbored 322 of 135.000 tnnq rnm. pared with 283 of 75,700 tons for the provlous year. Steel ns chief material of construction hns Increased to 10fi, 000 tons, from 47,700 tons for tho pre vious year. Tho recent political revolution in Cannda is jiot followed by n "clean sweep" of offlce-holdors. As the civil service In tho provinces Is practically on a non-partisan basis, there will bo little disturbance of public positions. lAfter being in tho minority during n period of eighteen years, tho Liberals assume power; but no "spoils system" will drive out.nnd drag In.monwho lose land gain office for political reasons, Ir respective of merit. To theso victors be longs toll, nnd not spoils. Responsibil ity to tho people for a proper uso of power, rather than a rich opportunity to profit at.tho expense of tho country, is tho chief fruit of this triumph. True patriotism demands this In any country. C. L. Marlatt, assistant entomologist ito the department of agriculture, says 'that tho grape Is distinctively nn American plant as Indicated by tho fnct that our indigenous wild Bpecles num ber nearly as many as occur in all the 'world besides. It Is not to be wondered at, thereforo, that tills continent Is re sponsible also for tho chief enemies of 'the vine, both insect and fungous, ns, for exninplo, the grape phylloxera, .-which, in capacity for barm, taken the world over.outrankB all other vine evils together, and such blighting fungous diseases as tho two mildews and the black rot Upwards of 200 different In jects have already been listed ns occur 'ring on the vino In this country, and tho records of the department alone irofer to over 100 different Insects. Few of these, however, aro very serious ene mies, being either of raro occurrence or seldom numerous. They nro tho grapo phylloxera, the grapovino fldia, Iboth chiefly destructive to tho roots; tho cane-borer, destructive particularly to the young shoots; the leaf-hopper, 'the flea-beetle, rose-chafer, with Its allleB, and leaf-folder, together with hawk moths and cutworms, damaging ifolloge, and the grapeberry moth, tho 'principal fruit pest. Tho extent of the iloss that frequently results from theso Insects may bo understood by reference to a few Instances. Tho phylloxera when at Its worst had destroyed In France some 2,500,000 ncres of vlno 'yards. representing an annual loss In. wine products of the value of $150,000, O00, and the French government had expended up to 1895 In phylloxera work over $4,500,000 and remitted taxes lo the amount of $3,000,000 more. A 7-months-old baby, residing In Williamsburg, N. Y., fell out of a fourth-story window and the father and mother rushed down stairs sobbing, to bring up the little mangled corpse. They found tho baby sitting on the bricks cooing and laughing and appar ently trying to tell some startled by standers that falling out of. a window was the greatest fun on earth. Peaches are so plenty In Harper county, Kan., that they are left to go to waste on the ground, there belg no fiivuwuu lur luvm ni any price. J FA11M AND GARDEN. MATTERS OF INTEREST TO AGRICULTURISTS. Sonle Up'to-fUto Hint About Cultiva tion of Ilia Soil nnd Y'leldf Thereof - Horticulture, Viticulture nnd Flori culture. ItlMSON clover has been grown In In dlnna for several years. It hns proved .an nlmost absolute failure In B o m o instances, whllo In others very satisfactory crops havo been fcyo v crown, ii is, ni i best, a rather un certain crop in this latitude, but It ban several characteristics which make It n dosirablo acquisition where It can bo grown successfully. Characteristics of Crimson Clover. It is a true clover, but carllir, small 2r and UBtinlly less hardy than tho com mon rod clover. It atarts promptly and moro vigorously from tho seed than common clover, nnd this feature adapts it to mid-summer seeding. It comes Into full bloom at this station, early in May, nnd is rendy to bo cut for seed about tho 1st of June. It Is an annual, tho parent plant dying when It has matured Its seed. Crimson Clover a Catch Crop. Be ing an annual and unablo to enduro winters, crimson clover ennnot take rank as a staple crop In Indiana. It Is, however, well filed to bo a "catch crop," because, under favorable condi tions as to moisture, a "catch" can bo secured in July and even In August, in which case It will furnish winter and early spring pasture, or If preferred, a very early crop of hay or seed. If cut for hny a crop of corn could follow the namo year. Crimson clover Is espe cially commended as an lnter-crop be tween two crops of corn, tho seed being sown when "laying by" the first crop of corn and the clover turned under tho following Bprlng, with or without pasturing, as a green manure for tho succeeding corn crop. In cbeo of fail ure to get a stand of common red clov er In wheat, crimson clover may be sown to advantago as soon aa tho crop of wheat is removed. Crimson Clover as a Forage and Fer tilizing Crop. This clover has proved excellent for pasture in tho late fall, winter and enrly spring, and Judging from Its chemical composition, it will doubtless prove a better food fertiliz ing crop than the common red clover. Tlmo and Manner of Sowing. Crim son clover should bo sown in July, or early in August, to lnsuro a vigorous foil growth In which caso It will prob ably pass tho winter with slight dam age. If It Is to follow corn, sow Just beforo tho last cultivation, using a fine tooth cultivator to bury the seed. If It Is to follow wheat burn the stubble If possible, pulverize tho ground thor oughly with disk or spading harrow, sow, harrow again with a tooth harrow and roll. Tho mothoda described above were successfully used last year In 6owlng crimson clover on the station farm. It Is well to sow thickly say ten pounds to tho acre as many plants may bo killed by drouth and frost. W. C. Latta, Indiana Experiment Station. Turnip for Karly Ue. Market gardeners make much larger profits out of tho turnip crop than do farmers. If they did not they could not grow them at alL Tho res son Is that thoy grow tho turnip early, hav ing it ready for use, sweet and good by midsummer, at which time the farmer is Just ready to bow his crop. The gardener sells most of Ills turnips done up In bunches for a few cents each, but making a price per bushel that would make a furmer's eye bulge out. Why is It that farmers do not grow more early turntps? We don't mean every farm er, of course, or wo should havo a worso glut of turnips than there waa of pota toes last year, when Secretary Morton urged all farmers to go into potato growing. Still, moro farmers might begin in a small way the growing of early turnips in amounts thnt they could easily market. To do this, thoy must do as the gardeners do, fertilize tho early sown roots with some avail able nitrogenous manure. The turnip needs a good deal of nitrogen to make a quick growth. The late sown turnips find this nitrogen Hi all cultivated farm land after midsummer. That Is prob ably tho reason why turnips are so gen erally sown late and as a catch crop, and why, also, the price of late turnips is always so low that there is very little profit lr. growing them for market. Ex. Mulching. A bulletin of the Minnesota Experi ment Station says: It is not generally understood that a mulch may with benefit be applied to cultivated ground. The usual meth od of applying coarse litter and man ure to trees and small fruits is falling Into disrepute with some of our best horticulturists. This method causes the root system to form too near the surface of the ground, so that when the mulching becomes thin or a pro tracted drought ensues, the trees quickly succumb. Moreover, cultiva tion is not possiblo with the thick mulch, and consequently coarse weeds grow up, and quack grass finally takes possession, to the total destruction cf the trees or small fruits. Many horti culturists are now advising the aban donment of the thick-litter mulch and prescribing Instead only cultivation or tho dry-eartb mulch. But this method has disadvantages also. Under' it the land becomes impoverished owing to the exposure of the bare soil to the m flerco, direct heat of tho sun's rays. Nitrification Is retarded Binco It pro gresses more favorably vhen tho surfaco of tho ground is partly shaded. Again, tho cultivation method, to bo effective, must bo frequent nnd thor oughconditions not always easy to meet Earth-litter mulching as prac ticed by this writer obviates most of tho difficulties named. Short-fibred manure or litter is spread evenly over tho surfaco of tho ground to a depth of ono or two Inches. Irt a few days the ground Is cultivated, thoroughly mixing tho mulch with fino surface earth. In the enso of small patches, this may bo done with a hoe, but In tho majority of cases It Is best done with a cultivator. After some time, when the apponranco of weeds or when other causes make it necessary, tho cultivation is repeated. The advant ages of this method are: 1. Tho moisture is more efler.tually conserved, and the root system takes Its proper position. 2. Tho soil Is better protected from tho direct heat of the sun. Tho earth litter mulch id a good non-conductor. 3. Tho manuro thus applied keeps intact tho supply of humus, thus in creasing the soil capacity for moisture nnd maintaining fertility. Nitrifica tion is also favored. 4. Tho best features of both old sys tems nro retalued, and tho method Is applicable not only to trees and small fruits, but to any cultivated crop. C. Labor Is saved, the required cul tivation being materially reduced. Small v. I.nrjre I.unc. Professor. Playfair said recently be fore the Royal Agricultural Society of England thnt small lungs In proportion to the total bulk, nro helpful to the fattening of nnlmal9. The order of the smallness 6f the lungs of our domestic animals is: 1, pig; 2, sheep; 3, ox; 4, horse, and as a remarkable proof of the importance of small lungs as indicative of a tendency to fatten, tho order of tho aptitude to fatten of the animals Just named is exactly tho same as the or der of tho smallness of the lungs. Thus tho pig has the greatest tendency nnd the hors6 tho least tendency to fatten of all our domestic animals. Thus, for Instance, a Chinese pig has small lungs, nn Irish ono large; the Chlncso pig fattens much moro quickly than the Irish. The "disappearance" of food from the system of an animal is owing to the combustion of the food by means of tho nir Inspired by the lungs. Tho oxygen which has once en tered tho system never again escapes from it without being united either with part of tho body or of tho food. This statement mny be quite correct with reference to the deposit of pure fat. But the health and constitutional vigor of any animal depend very much upon healthy and regular waste through the sk'.n and lungs. Excess of fatty deposit in proportion to lean fibre Is the very thing to which pork curers object. Tho same thing holds good for over-fed beet. Developing New I'lanto. We select seeds of certain plants which come the nearest to our stand ard of perfection. No two breeders of any kind of stock have tho same ideal standard in all particulars, so with those who improvo plants. Our choice shorthorns, draft homes, Merino sheep, Essex swine, light Brahma fowls were not brought to their present state of perfection by mere good luck or acci dent, but by the long and patient study and experience of able men. The same la truo of many plants, more especially of plants which aro raised for tho beauly of their flowers or foliage. It Is not by accident that our green housoii and gardens are so well sup plied with choice roses, orchids, rho dodendrons, azallas, camelias, pansles, petunias, phloxes, dahlias, gladlola, hyaclbths, tulips, pelargoniums, calce olarias, asters, fuchsias, chrysanthe mums. These nnd many others have been produced by judicious labor in breeding and cultivation. Tho poorest aud thoso of medium quality were weeded out; only a few of tho choicest were saved. The work was divided. One man devotes years of patient work to certain strains of pelargon iums; another to asters, roses or pan sirs, and so on through the long list of "Flora's sweetest treasures." Bur bridge says: "From a houseful of fuch sias, Mr. H. Cannel, who Is well known for his new varieties of this favorite plant, only obtains about a quarter of an ounce of perfect seed, the value of which cannot be calculated, as It Is never sold." One innn raises 10,000 pe largoniums, and each year for ten years or more, and only gets half a dozen a year fit to send out under a name, and many of these aro soon re placed by others. Choice strains of cineraria and calceolaria and primula seeds are worth $50 or $75 an ounce, or $900 or even $1,500 per pound. Pro fessor W. J. Beal. IlaCRlns Grille. Correspondent of "Green's Fruit Grower" asks for information on this subject. We have purchased paper bags, he says, such as are used in gro ceries and sold by the thousand at 30 to 40 cents. These bags aro longer and larger around than tho largest cluster of grapes when matured. We have placed these bags over a cluster of grapes when tho fruit was about tho size of bird shot, or sometimes when the grapes were as large as peas, pin ning tho mouth of the bag around tho base of the stem of the fruit as closely as possible. No great skill Is required In this operation. It is not necessary to arrange for the entrance of nir In the bag. but It Is well to pick a pin hole In the bottom of the bag to allow water to escape. The clusters of grapes that we have bagged eeomed to ripen earlier than those not so operated upon, and tbeclusters were of marvelous beauty, coloring beautifully, the bloom, of course, being undisturbed by wind, or bird, or Insect. Whether It is possible on a large scale, depends upon the cir cumstances. Ex. THE LATEST WONDER. rhotoCrnphlnK Thought I SrI.1 to He An Accomplished Fact. It nny bo raBh to announce that any thing is beyond tho photographer's art, writes tho Paris correspondent of the London Standard, but the communica tion just made to the Paris Academle de Medicine by Dr. Baraduc is so as tonishing thnt If ho had made it beforo Dr. Itoontgen had rendered his discov ery public, very few people would havo been Inclined even to Inquire into tho matter. Indeed, Dr. Baraduc affirms that ho has succeeded in photograph ing thought and he has shown numer ous photographs in proof of his asser tion. His ueunl method of proceeding is olmple enough. The person whoso thought is to be photographed enters a dark room, places his hand on a photographic plato and thinks intent ly of the object tho Image of which he wishes to see produced. It is stated by those who have examined Dr. Barn due's photographs that most of them nre very cloudy, but that a few arc comparatively distinct, representing the features of persons and the out lines of things. Dr. Baraduc goes fur ther and tleclnrcs that It is possiblo to produce a photographic image at a great distance. In his communication to the Acade mic tie Medicine ho relates that Di. IMratc, when ho wns going to Cam pnna, c'eelared he would appear on a photographic plato of his friend, M. Hns'kn, at Bucharest. On the 4'h d August, 1S93, M. Hasden, at Buchniej', went to bed with a photographic ' nf at his feet and another at his "a?i '. Dr. I3tratc went to sleep at Cam-"-''!. at a distance of about 300 kilom c: from Bucharest, but boforo closing hi.-; eos he willed with all hia might th"t his image should appear on th p!V' graphic nlate of his friend. According to Dr. Baraduc that marvel was av ji pllsh?tl. Journalists who have ex: ined the photograph in quu3tioD state that it consists of a kind of luminous spot or. the photographic plate, in th? midst of which can bo traced tho profile- of n man.

"Other canoes are assigned for this melancholy state of thing3. It is said that nearly all tho west end young men work in the city. But that would not prevent them from dancing if they did not spend their leisure hours on tho wheel. The truth la that cycling is at the bottom of the mischief, and the only chance for mothers who wish to get their daughters off their hands ap pears to bo to allow them to partake of the delights of "a bicycle made for two." How Awkward It Will lie su moot Did you ever think of it? A great problem is soon to occupy the minds of the people of the world. In four years the sweep of time will carry us Into a new century, and the figures which indicated the century of 1800 will bo exchanged for 1900. When this time comes, can we abbreviate the year in writing nnd printing, as we do new in 1896? If wo may abbreviate, how shall it be done? How will it look, '00? Or this. '19? When you write at the top of your letter to tho editor, March 14, '9C, It Iooko all right! but March 14, '00, will not be nt all satisfactory. Did you ever beforo think what an in convenient timo 1900 is going to be? If so, Just consider how lucky your stars are that you will not be living on this mundane sphero In 2,000!

Some time ago, when staying at a hotel, where she was studying nn op eratic part which contained many trills and tremolos, Madame Melba was singing this part exquisitely, as though inspired. A llttlo child, play ing near her rooms, heard her, and, after listening to the marvelous trill ing, not knowing that the voice was human, or whence It came, ran to his mother, saying softly: "Mother, listen to the -dear birdie!" Madame Melba, on hearing of this afterward, told tho mother that sho had never had such praise beforo, and valued It moro than all tho critics' praises. A lioston Finer.

"Anarchy Una No l'lare In ThU Conn try" The llecret Itund Ileal Kxpoied Defender of tho 1'ersecuted Salva tlonltti To the llankeri. Editors aro not as a rule great ora tors and vice versa. Candidate Bryan combines the two forces as wltnesseth somo of hla famous editorials which have appeared from time to time In tho Omaha World-Herald. Hero are n few of them. "Anarchy Win No Vines In ThU Country." The following editorial, which ap peared on Nov. 11, 1895, was written by Mr. Bryan: "The Anarchists in Chicago did not hold memorial services over the graves of those of their comrades who were executed for participating in tho Hay market riots. For seven years it has been their custom to hold exercises of this character in Wnldholm Cemetery, where the remnina of their misguided friends nre buried, but the directors of the cemetery thl3 year refused to per mit it. It seems harsh to prohibit a tribute by tho living to its beloved dead, but In this case the action of the directors was justifiable. These annual gatherings have not been those ol genuine mourning, but tho participants have used the place and occasion to teach their doctrines and to stir up an animosity against tho law and its officers. "Anarchy has no place In this coun try, either in tho busy walks of life or in tho quiet city of tho dead. Anarchy is an enemy to peace, to society and to happiness. It Is not to bo tolerated in any country. Much less has it nny cause for existenco or toleration in this county, nnd its friends and devotees cannot use the sacredness of the grave as a meanB for spreading their unwholesome doctrines nnd to stir up new strife against tho law that accords to even the teachers of arson and assassination a fair and impartial trial before a Jury of their peers." Tho Secret Hond Ilenl of February, 181)5 Editor Bryan attacked the secret bond deal arranged by Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Carlisle with J. Pierpont Mor gan in an editorial on March 4, 1895. He said: "Tho enormous bonus that was given the Rothschild syndicate to take tho last issue of bonds may prove, after all, to bo ono of the best Investments the people have mado In many a day. Tho deal reveals the cloven foot of a politi cal syndicate which undoubtedly has for its purpose the expenditure of foreign money to carry tho next presidential and subsequent presidential elections in the Interest of foreign and home capi talists, and the money tho people have paid to get a glimpse of thlB enemy of our institutions will have been well and profitably invested If it causes them to rlso In their might and send the American end of tho conspiracy to its political grave. There is no doubt whatever that the Rothschild syndicate will mako its bond holdings an excuse to employ agents to Influence nominat ing conventions that neither p rty shall designate a man for the presidency who cannot bo brought under the syndicate's influence. It is apparent that not a stone will be left unturned by Wall street and London to fasten upon the country at the next election an admin istration that is committed in ndvance to the gold standard. Every move ot tho monometnlllsts In this country and Europe indicates as much, and when once monometallism is firmly fastened about the necks of the people, eastern nnd foreign capital will be the people's taskmaster. Farmers, mechanics, la borersthe common people think they already havo greater burdens than they can bear, but if these bond syndi cates get control of the government tho people will have to make bricks without straw. As an eye-opener, there fore, the bonus paid the Rothschild combine Is not too great If the peoplo will act now that their eyes aro open." Advocated the Initiative and Refer endum. On April 28, less than three months ago, Mr. Bryan editorially advocated the "initiative and referendum." Here are Mr. Bryan's words: "The principle of tho initiative and referendum is democrats, it will not bo opposed by any aggravation of the tendency which has been observed for the last generation. Great inequality In wealth fosters social and political inequality and arouses class prejudices when great accumulations aro found to arise from unjust legislation. Tho main contention of some our financiers is that wo should so arrange our mone tary system as to continually Increase the Investment of foreign capital among ub. The World-Herald believes that it is better for the government to furnish a sufficient supply of money to do tho business of the country than to depend upon borrowing abroad and paying in terest upon it. There is an economy in exchanging that which wo can produce at a low cost for something which wo can only produce here at a high cost. That Is tho principle which lies at tho foundation of nil commerce between Individuals and between nations. But thero can be no Justification for a financial system hi this country built upon tho theory that the more money we borrow abroad the bettor we are off, nnd which permits the sale cf a few American securities in London to create a panic In this country." Mr. Bryan closed bio editorial by de- I clarlng that tho only remedy for our ! present financial ills was independent ! nnd free coinage of silver and the issue i by the federal government of whatever I paper money is needed to preserve sta bility In tho purchasing por.-er of tho dollar. Defense of the Fatvntton Army. In July, 1895. the Salvation Army seemed to Interest Mr. Bryan ami he wroto an editorial defending iL He said: "Tho Salvation Army 1b not a nui sance. It is 'noisy,' but Satan Is a rather noisy fellow himself, nnd no one can object If theso people chooso to 'fight the devil with fire.' If It 1b 'a noisy crowd,' tho noise will never in duce any man or woman to do wrong, and there nre thousands of instances where this 'noise' has Induced many persons to quit their meanness. Such nn organization is entitled not only to respect but to the earnest co-operation of every good citizen." When tho newspapers of the country announced that President Cleveland and Senator Hill had reconciled their differences. Mr. Bryan wrote a long editorial, in which ho used these words: "Whom gold hath Joined to gether let not man put asunder." Spreading the Truth. Occasionally Mr. Bryan addressed tho readers on the subject of tho World Herald's circulation in this stylo: "Will you help to Increase the in fluence of this paper? If you like tho paper ask your neighbor to subscribe; if you havo a friend who Is honest, but In error, send him n copy of the paper. The moro readers the paper has the more good It will do. Will you try to secure one new subscriber? If you can secure flvo or ten, or fifty, so much tho better, but each of you can easily se cure one. We rely upon you. Do not disappoint us." Free Silver, l'opullum and Democracy Perhaps the most characteristic edi torial written by Mr. Bryan was his re ply to the statement that free silvcrlsm and populism had killed the democratic party: It wns printed Feb. 16, 1895. "The cry that tho democratic party is dead Is tho cry of the enemy, of the coward and ot tho traitor. The demo cratic party is not dead, nor Is It asleep. When tho democratic party dies demo cratic principles will dio, and in tho same grave will be buried the hope of humanity, the incentive to work for a broader and better plan of existenco and tho power to go from strength to strength in advancing and maintain ing llborty and freedom. The princi ples of Jefferson, of Jackson and of Lincoln tho same all are the heart and the soul of every government by and for the peoplo that now Is or ever will be, nnd, moreover, they are tho life-" blood which courses through the ar teries of liberty and make the all powerful agency in the mighty work of lifting mankind Godward. Man may bo born and man may go hence, and nations may be established and nations may be overthrown, but tho principles of democracy aro of God and they must return to him bearing in their arni3 a perfected humanity. The onwnrd way of theso principles has always been and always will bo more or less Impeded by the Judascs of tho world, but the right always pre vails tho people triumph ultimately. It Is true that the democratic party the custodian and proclaimer of theso principles of human progress Is for tho moment wrenched and torn by, fierce onslaughts from daggers In tho hands of members of Its own household,' who, like Benedict Arnold, were caught In the act of selling their fellows for British gold, but they havo made their own graves deep and wide in the mo-'i rasse3 of their' own treachery, and there is no inclination anywhere to hinder the operations of the law of retribu tion." Ilryan and the Hanker. Tho last editorial written by Mr. Bryan appeared on July 1, nlno days be fore he was nominated. It was an answer to the charge made by the Atchison Globe that he had advised tho people to always oppose the bankers. Tho following extract contains the germ of Mr. Bryan's argument: "Tho banker Is a man, nothing moro, nothing less, and his opinions are en titled to all duo consideration. But no' man should permit another man to do his thinking for him. There aro many bankers who are sincere and consistent bitmetallistb. There are others who are sincere gold bugs. Thero are some who advocate the single gold standard when thoy do not believe its preservation will be beneficial to the country, but for reasons best known to themselves they adhere to the advocacy of that standard.. Tho opinions of all bankers ure entitled to unusual consideration because of their experienco in financial matters, but the banker must be able to back up his opinion with logic. Because the banker has had wide experience In money matters Is no reason thnt an other man should believe tho banker's, mere statement that black is white, particularly when tho other man knows, that black Is not white." A Hold Trmt. To tho Editor of the World: I am opposed to the use of the Government machinery to force up tho price of gold, because I stand with The World in opposition to trusts and monopolies. The welfare of the masses was never more seriously threatened than It 'Is now by the powerful syndicate which has been operating in this country and in Europe to corner gold and keep It cornered. A WORKER. hillver Cood Knoujli. To the Editor of the World: If our silver dollnrs aro only worth 5u cents now I cannot see how freo coinage Is going to hurt the wcrkingmen, as you say they will bo worth 50 cents then. I am a laborer, and all tho money r got, 13 silver. Give us moro silver. I am a poinocrat; not n Jim Smith or Brlce. or Gorman cr Hill Democrat. J. IL 4 f r
