Wall street and Ko gland run the republican national convention, but it failed to get its grip on the national democratic eouvention. The |HX>ple spoke at the latter anti contention, ami now there is weeping wgilmg and gnadung of teeth among the motley lenders and brokers. Wall street and !,milliard street will now take a seat and let the people have a chance. back Ir they dare to come out and openly defend the gold standard as a good thing. we shall fight them to the uttermost, having behind us the producing masses off the VJ*%orhl. Having behind us the commercial interests ami laboring interests and all the toiling maxes, we shall answer their demand* for a gold standard by saving to them, you shall not pros- down upon the brow ofiabor this crown of thorns. You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of. gold.—William J. Hryan.

The Demockat will next week publish in full the great speech of William Jennings Bryan, the democratic nominee for president, delivered at the Chicago convention. If you want extra copies of this great speech send in your orders at ouce. This speech should be read by every voter in the j county. Bkyax may be young, but he is not untried. He has served on the most important committee in congress. He has*' met in hand-to-hand debate the leaders of republicanism. His actions and life have been subjected to the most searching criticism and no flaw has been detected. If he has accomplished so much at 36, what may not the nation expect of him as he enters middle age? _ ', We say to you that you have made too limited in its application the definition of “business man.” The man who is employed for wages is a$ much a business man as his employer. The farmer who goes forth in the morning ami toils all day. begins in the spriug and toils all summer.and by the application of his brain and muscle to the natural resources of this country creates wealth, is much a business tuan as the man who goes upon the l*oard of trade and bets upon the price of grain.— William J. Bryan. Now that the democratic national convention has adopted a 16 to 1 platform, aud William J. Bryan of Nebraska, a great leader in the silver question nominated for the presidency; there can be no excuse ror our populist friends to look elsewhere for that which they have been contending for. When silver was demonetized the greenback {tarty was organized and which has continued to v\ist ever siuee that time under various names down to the present, always keeping the money question uppermost in their platforms. Nearly two millions of people' voted these various tickets from the fact that they saw that the shvlocks controlled the two old parties and that there was no hope under such conditions. The great democratic party, which has always been the friend to the oppressed, lias now openly declared war on the shylocks of this and all other countries and has freed itself from the hands of grasping individuals, and now invites the great liberty loving people of all states to unite with

it ana gam a gram! victory hi the cause of coinage at Id to 1. If the p 'puksts.-sj.n-e-htbitiurusts and silver republicans of south and northwest will enter their protot' ami buckle on their armor and march to the front under the leadership of that peerless young statesman*. William J. Bryan, ami ttie t<attle cry of 10 to 1. a grand victory will be won for the people. There is an old saying that in unity there is strength, so stand together in a solid phalanx and root out the gold bugs who have controlled the country fur so long and brought it to its present crisis. It behooves the farmer and laboring man to stand together in this campaign and vote their sentiments regard less of past jmrty affiliations.

Benefits of MeKiuteyism, The Kansas City Times disposes of the law that made McKinley as follows: The results of the McKinley bill, stated in brief, from the date of its passage in 1890 j to August, 1894, when it was repealed,were as follows: 1. Under its provisions prohibiting competition, oreir 100 trusts were organized,covering nearly itdl the necessaries and comforts of life,including food, clothing, lumber,! nails, glass, agricultural implements,coffius, 1 coal, iron, steel, cotton ties, etc. 3. Although the McKinley act increasetl the average late of protection to the manu-! fact urers about 35 per cent, there was not; a single raise of wages in a protected iu- \ dustrv after its passage nor until its repeal. | 8. From the passage of the McKinley l act in 1890 up to November, 1892, there I were,over 1,300 shut-downs, lockouts and i strikes, in the industries ‘'protected*' by its j tariff rates. Among these was the ‘‘culminating atrocity of MeKudeyism,"the Homestead strike, in which thousands of American wage-earners were turned out to starve and. when they resisted, shot dowu by the Pinkerton constabulary. 4, The McKinley act also caused a sternly falling off in the revenues of the government from over one hundred millions of surplus left by the Cleveland administration in 1889* to a deficit iu the last fiscal year of its operation from June 80, 1894, amounting to over #72,000.000. | 5. The disinterested and best {>osted ! (political economists of the country, repub-1 ! l ean as well as democratic, declared that the McKinley act divided the honors with the Sherman purchasing act of causing the, i terrific |»anie of 1898. from the effects of which the country is event now slowly recovering. . 6. Under the operation of the McKinley act the prices of clothing and nearly all the necessities were raised so high as to be in many east's entirely out of the reach of a workingman anti his family; and such a tiling as a wholesome, healthful woolen suit of dot lies, or woolen dress, became a rarity among the persons of ordinary means. This covers the ground in as brief cotnpass as anything that has thus far appeared. The Issue Joined. fFrom the Republican Mouev Plunk.{ We are unalterably opposed t>> every measure calculated to tlebase t>ur currency or impair the erydjt of our eountry. We are, therefore, opp -ed to the free coMjitge of silver except |»y international agreement with the leading commercial nations tlm world, and until such agreement catNoe obtained we believe the existing gold standard must be preserved.

From the Democratic Money Plank. We are unalterably opposed to the single gold standard, which ita> looked fast the prosperity of an industrial people in the paraly sis of hard times. Gold muiuunetallism is a British }>#liey and its adoption has brought other nations into financial seri*-" “itudc to London. It is not only un-Ameri-can, but anti-American, and it can be; fastened on the United States only by the stifling of that indomitable spirit and love of liberty which proclaimed our political independence in 1776 and won in the war of 1 the revolution. We demand the free and unlimited coinage of l>oth gold and silver at the present legal ratio of 10 to 1. without waiting for the aid or cousent ojf any other nation. We demand that the standard silI ver dollar shall be a full legal tender,equally with gold, for all debts, public and private, and we favor such legislation as will prevent for the future the demonetization of any kind of legal tender money by private ontract.

Declares Bryan is Entitled to Loyal; Support. The New York Mercury of Sunday editorially says: The uproar is tremendous on the part of some republican and democratic journals because the Chicago conven- j tion has nominated Bryan of Nebraska, j upon a broad, progressive platform. The j howl is already great in Wall street and in ! even- place where trusts and bosses can ; control what is called public opinion. We reiterate our*assertion that the nomination of William J. Bryan is just and proper. It is entitled to the loyal support of the democratic party. It was made, at a national convention organized and conducted in strict accord with parliamentary practice and with the fullest regard for the rights of the minorities. We go further, anil say that Bryan and j Sewall should receive the votes of the | American people, regardless of party ties, j Republicans whose spirit revolts against bosses and plutocracy; populists, who are! powerless alone, should all rally around the j standard of popular rights raised at Chicago, whence it will be borne in triumph to Washington. The nomination of William J. Bryan appeals to the noblest sentiments of the' American heart. He is a man of the people, descended from Virginia stock. He is ; endowed with the ardor, energy and enthusiasm of youth. He has served the people faithfully in and out of eougress. Never! [ has he trod the broad road* that leads to wealth aud office at the expense of honestyand honor. Never has he swerved from the path of public duty. He has earned a { livelihood by honest toil, anil can defy his i 1 assailants to point to any blemish on his i career. Dferepresehts that broad, progressive wCsteJp spirts which animated tu ! like Stephen A.dA ugla*, and is destined to dominate and guide the public policy of. this democratic republic. j The great west ts peopled by men who in i public and private life are individually that; noblest work of Hod, an hottest man. They j are now assailed as upholding repudiation 1 by persons who have grown rielt by infurnt- ' ous trusts.and corporate monopolies. The | false cry will not avail. • The American! people are arou>ed. They are not scanning each line of the party platforms. But they j are proclaiming in thunder tones by the j nomination of Bryan atxl S wad that the : hour of deliverance is at hand.

During the, past vow i orders have la on floated to a great extent as the amount, above shows. -Orders are still lohig floated oul will be for tpany years to come. A change is needed in rhe= management of alfatrs.—Democrat. Junaal, 1896, there was a balance in the treasury «\f $1,466.13, and there are $10,501.17 worth of tU»ating orders. It) other words there is enough money in tin treasury to pay off all the floating county orders and have $4.tH>4.96 left, which is by no means a bad showing. The report of the auditor show;s.-a“careful management of alf&irs that the pest ole of Pike county will heart it) approve.—Petersburg Press. June 1, 1894, there Was a balance in the treasury of over $17,500 and <oo county orders floating; June 1. 1895. there was a halance of over $9,000 in the county treasury and no county .orders floating. And as the above -hows June 1, 1890, there was a balance in the treasury of over $14,000 and ortlers floating to the amount of $10.501.17. I Joes this show u careful management of affairs? And the editor of the Press says that “the people of l*ike county will heartily approve*" Approve of making a monstrous debt and floating county orders What, is this the kind of manageunent that the people of Pike county will approve of? Well, hardly. The people know when they have got. enough, and will, oust the gang at the coming election. The debt of Pike county at the present time will reach the sum of about $'*1,757.*3.

Killing the Horn Fly. [Purdue UniTersltjjf Experiment 9UMon> Newspaper Bulletin No. 30, Jul^S. W**.] At this season of the yew cattle are suffering from the persistent biting of the horn fly. This fly, which is smaller than the house fly. congregates in colonies about the basest the horns, along up the back ' and sides, at tender points about the flanks - and udder, dntl on the belly. * ; This fly sucks blood from cattle, and so irritates them as no doubt to retard the laying on of flesh with beef cattle and the production of milk by milk cows. Many substances have been recommended to keep away the flies. The Mississippi ex- ■# pcriment station recommends two parts of cotton seed qil or ftsh oil and one part pine tar. This sUatfbn applied this mixture to 350 head at a total cost for material of *3,30. Kerosene emulsion has also been used, spraying it over the cattle with a knap-sack sprayer. The flies are killed by the emulsion if it touches them. The emulsion may be made by puxing at the rate of one pint of soft soap (or one-fourth pound of hard soap dissolved in boiling water) and one pint of kerosene in fifteen piutsof water, thoroughly whipped and churned together. At the Indiana experiment station, we have tried different substances to keep away the flies. None of these were effective over two or three days. We have tested a preparation called “‘Shoo Fly," which answered very well for tw^ftays. The maiu objection to this is its eoSf 50 cents a quart or #1.50 per gallon in three, five and ten gallon cans. One qua®will .do for one

application on about fifty auuuais. We have, however, secured fully as satisfactory results by using a quart of fish oil in which was mixed about two tablespooufuls of crude carbolic acid. Fish oil is 60 cents per gallon in Lafayette. These liquids are applied on t he body with attatppamt brush about four inches widp. FisKfml is especially disagreeable to flies, and Is probably largely used in the special preparations, sold at high prices. There is one objection to using any form of tar, in that it makes the hair sticky, which accumulates dirt and so gives it a bail apfK'arance. - Stockmen would do well to break-up the manure in the pasture whenever possible, as the flics deposit their eggs in it, from which the young are developed. If the manure is gathered up or broken to pieces Within a day or so, and if remedies to keep oil the flies are applied to the cattle, the insects will disappear early in the season. 0. S.
