Kilitor Home ami Farm I see by some of I lie recent pa pers that the subject ol using cot : tan bagging for bailing our pros- 1 ent year's crop of cotton is being agitated. And why not. brother' farmer' Beyond doubt it i- to our interest to have every pound of cotton consumed that we possibly can, even if we are unable * ' to buy to satisfy ? rown needs. There i- one thim e can do. We can wrap our ^nr.Vi.i^ crop of col ton in bagging made ol cotton, and if will be no experiment, ei tier. It lias been tried and found lobe a success. It will help to! swallow up the great surplus! caused from overproduction that the speculators claim. If will help to break down some trusts and monopolies that now hast at the ex pense of t ho cot ton growers. It will Imlp to wc.ikcii I'lim hined capital and hrin^ m in closer touch with each other.

In this we tiii ! ;i stcikinj: illustration of the proverb (h it "no11<* are .?<?

The purchasing power of silver cannot he increased by laws; the debt paying power can t. will die, etc. It he will give his t trees good treatment it will pay.

Thus, in plain terms, is admitted the fact that the man-who borrowed .'171 grains of silver must now pay the lender 7S0 grains of silver in settlement of his debt. This strikes our contemporary as just and right, and il argues hotly in the interests of a monetary system that has'more | than doubled the indebtedness of! this nation, since it has been put in force. The rights of the creditor are sacred in the eyes of the goldites. and oO far as the debtor is con corned there is nothing but revil ing for s port ion. It is useless to argue with gold monopolists when they lay down > a proportion >o sell-evidently false as that "the purchasing pow or of silver cannot he in. "eased by law.' To argue on a false promise is to reach nothing but a a fal-'e conclusion, and when people make a stetcnient that the basis of an argument, the infer once must naturally bedr; wn that they prefer false conclusions to those which are true. I In ie is one great and hnpor taut truth in the statement of our conteniporary, and that is the de monstration it contains of the ap preciated and constantly appre ri ding value of gold. The debtor is suffering from a cruel and bitter wiong when he is required to pay twice and more than twice a< I I... i I ti.. . . i.: 111 u< 11 m lit" mi 111 \i i -i i. i 11 ."I I I III should In' llio ease is 1 ho result of forcing tins nation on a gold standard.
