Cheap Farm Loans.

Call on Valentine Seib, Rensselaer, for the cheapest farm loans offered in Jasper county. Large or small accounts.

Electric Bitters

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for any season, but perhaps more generally needed, when the languid exhausted feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid and sluggish and the need of a tonic and alterative is felt. A prompt use of this has often averted long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will act more surely in counteracting and freeing the system from the malaria poison. Headache, indigestion, constipation, dizziness yield to Electric Bitters. 50 cents and 81.00 per bottle at h. B. Meyer’s drug store.

The Garden South.

The South is destined to be, and is rapidly becoming, the garden of the United States. Here life is easiest to live; the rigorous winters do not eat up the fruits of the toil of summer, nor are the summers so trying as many northern people have supposed. “I used to live only half the year” said a northern farmer recently settled in the south, “and I used to work all the time then. Now I work half the time and live all the year through.” Home seeker’s excursion tickets will be sold over tne Monon Route to nearly all points in the south at the rate of one first class fare (one way); tickets good returning on any Tuesday or Friday within 31 days from date of sale. Liberal stop-overs are allowed. These excursions start (and tickets are sold) Auggust 17, 18 and 31! September 1,14,15; October 5, 6,19 and 20. Call on W. H. Beam, agent of the Monon Route, for further information. ■

THE PEOPLE’S PILOT.

FOR THE FREE AND UNLIMITED OU IN AGE OF SILVER AND GOLD AT THE PARITY RATIO OF SIXTEEN TO ONE WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ANY OTHER NATION ON EARTH.

Far Reaehing Benefits.

Free coinage will open the closed silver mines and set thous ands of idle miners at work. By the opening of the mines new machinery will have to be purchased to replace the costly plants that have been destroyed by water and rust. The demand for this new machinery will set the idle shops of the east at work to make it, and they will continue to make more and more machinery as new mines ace discovered and opened up, and as the old machinery wears out. The opening of idle machine shops will have a beneficial effect on the iron and coal miners who will be set to work to produce the raw material. The railroads will be benefitted by the transportation of the raw material, the finished machinery, the supplies consumsed by all the workers, from the silver mines down through the shops to coal mines at the other end of the string. The output of the mines must also be transported, and many more railroaders given employment and transformed into liberal consumers of the necessities of life. Next to the men who arep aid wages, directly or indirectly as a result of opening the silver mines, the men most benefitted are the merchants who sell the wage earners their living supplies.

When merchants are prosperous and selling plenty of goods, they in turn are buying the pro ducts of the factories and of the farm, and besides stimulating business with wholesalers, jobbers, commission men, the railroads, etc., the idle mills call foxmen to operate them arid again more wages are paid, more machinery purchased, more wages paid to make it, etc. And at every turn in the great chain of transactions connected with the revival of the great mining industry where men are set at work the farmer is called upon to feed them. The whole commercial and productive structure rests upon agriculture; miners in the Rocky mountains must be supplied With wheat, corn, oats, hay, butter, eggs, pork, beef, poultry, vegetables, and their wages pay for it. The same is true of laborers in the various factories where goods, machinery and other supplies are made for consumption in the mining industry. Activity in the silver mines directly affects the farmer by increasing the demand for his products, and consequently raising prices, and furnishing employment to thousands of idle farm hands. The new lands in the arid region, which irrigation would make to blossom as the rose, would be sought by the many landless farmers, for with the hundreds of busy mining camps to consume the products of this land, there Would an incentive to redeem it and establish homes upon it. In fact no great industry can be so seriously crippled, as has the silver mining industry, without detriment to the whole productive system of the country, causing great commercial depression. A full electoral ticket has been nominated by the people’s party of Alabama. ***** The Kansas Coloiied free sil ver league has endorsed the people’s party state ticket. ***** Dr. D. W. Day, of Hartselle, has been nominated for congress by the Populists of the Eighth Alabama district.

I having shut out of representation on the, fusion ticket selected by democratsand populists. have nominated a straight state ticket. ***** Chairman Butler and Secretary Edgerton. of the National Executive Committee, have made a strong appeal for one dollar campaign contributions, which should be sent at once to M. C. Rankin, treasurer of the committee. Terre Haute, Indiana. ***** The democrats and populists of Missouri have made arrange for a division of electors; the democrats taking 13 and the Populists 4. which is considered an equitable division. A union may be perfected latex - on several congressional candidates.

Judge J. G. Ramsdell, hitherto a strong republican leader, residing at Traverse City, has been nominated for congress in the Eleventh Michigan district by a joint convention of Populists, democrats and silverites. ***** M. S. Hayes, corresponding secretary of the Cleveland Central Labor union and a delegate to the last People’s party national conyention, is reported to have deserted the party and joined the Socialist party and has so far refused to deny the daily press story. ***** A conference committee of Populists and democrats in California have arranged for congressional fusion in all districts of the state. By the arrangement the following Populists are to have a clear field: Kinne, Barlow and Cutler in the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh districts, respectively. # ***** J. R. Thomas, People’s party candidate for congress in the Seventh Missouri' district, has proposed to his democrat opponent that the question of which candidate shall be withdrawn from the race shall be determined at a joint meeting of the democratic and People’s party state committees. ***** The New York World, a gold standard paper, makes the state ment that the agents of Mark Hanna are at work in all the mills and factories in the country, trying to coerce the workers to support McKinley, and that gold standard arguments are attached to their pay envelopes given to employes. ***** By fusion of the democratic, People’s and Silver parties in Wisconsin, the Populists secure two offices on the state ticket and three electors. The people's party nominees are Col. C. M. Butt, of Vernon county, for secretary of the state, and Fred W. Thai, of Milwaukee, for Insurance Commissioner. ***** Warren R. English and W. K. Vain, the respective democratic and people’s party nominees for congress in the Third California district, have agreed to submit the question as to which should withdraw from the raqe to a joint committee of twenty-four, on which the parties supporting each shall have equal representation. ****** A letter written to Mr. Bryan by Sewal] during the session of the people's party national convention has been made public by the democratic national committee: In the letter Mr. Sewall says: “My advices are that you have been nominated as candi date for president and Mr. Watson for vice-president. * * * Now I desire to say to you with the utmost frankness and good feeling that you must not allow any personal consideration for me to influence you in your action.’’

* * ,* * * It appears that fusion has been rendered permanently impossible in West Virginia by the refusal of the democrats to en-. ter any coalition which did not provide for the casting of the people’s party yote for their candidate for governor. As a result the people's party has putout two electors at large and has nominated N. W. Fitzgerald in the place of Ralphsnyder, the nominee for governor, who resigned in order that democracy might accomplish its demands. A. R.
