Christmas Issue.
We get oat a Christina? issue this
week on aucout of 1< gal ads. We have
not made any e ffort to give the local
happenings of the past few days, but
to get out with as little work as possible
so that our force could take part of the
week for rest, the first they have had
this year. We trust the friends of The
Economist have had a pleasant Christ
mas, that they will not forget thfffrj pa
per but stand by it next year and do all
in their power to increase its eircula
tion and influence for good. May the

thinks that every other man is prosper

Th© great reforms demanded by the
Populist party have beodme so strong

It is Coming.
“Public utilities nust belong to the
people,” in bold black faced type, is the
motto that stands at the head of the
first editorial column of the Denver
Daily News. The News is the largest
and most influential newspaper between
the Mississippi and the Pacific coast,
and is unwearied in its presentation of
the doctrine of public utilities.
The Democratic leaders are using all
their power to sidetrack the money
question in favor of—well, just any
old thing. Back in the seventies the
Greenbaokers came near turning over
the nation to the keeping of reformers.
The Democrats swore to them they
wonld help them ont if the Greenbaok
ers would help them in. The Green
backers bit. The country got the
Bland-Aliisoti act as a compromize. In
1880 times had been improved just as
they now are, and the money question
was sidetracked for the tariff question
Then all the people were told that all
we needed was a change of the tariff
la #s and free trade be instituted. On
that plea Grover, the Fat, was elected.
The tariff was changed. In 1893 came
on a worse panic than that of the sev
enties. Suppose the money question
be again sidetracked without a radical
change being effected, do.’ytn suppose
that the trere change to anti-imperial
ism will avert another panic? Will the
Popmists take the same bait that the
Greenbackers did? Shall we be snch
tools as not to learn by the experience
of our sires? In mercy’s name, men,
we beg that common sense shall pre
vail.—Populist Journal.
A SURE CURE FOR CROUP.
Twenty-five Years’ Constant Use with
out a Failure.
The first indication of croup is hoarse
ness, aud in a child subject to that dis
ease it may be taken as a sure sign of
the approach of au attack. Following
this hoarseness is a peculiar rough
cough. If Chamberlain’s Cough Rem
edy is given as soon as the child becomes
hoarse, or even after the croupy cough
appears, it will prevent the attack, It
is used in many thousands of homes in
this broad land and never disappoints
the anxious mothers. We have yet to
learn of a single instance in which it
has not proved effectual. No other pre
paration can show'such a record—twen
tyE&ve years’ constant nse without a
failure. For sale by Winder Drug Cos.

Ten Thousand uouafgTn x
At Truck Earming.
In a letter to Farmers Voice, Mr.F. J.
Merriam, of Battle Hill. Georgia, who
with his partner, makes from $15,000 a
year at truck farming gives the funda
mentals to his suoces It will be inter
esting to read and perhaps will give yon
some ideas that will be of advantage.
Mr. Merriam says;
‘ •In complying with your request for
a short sketch of the methods which
have contributed to oar sucoess in truck
farming, 1 wish to say that I do not re
gard our success as at all phenomenal
but believe that it can be duplicated
near any good market in this coantry (
and there are many which are as good,
or better, than Atlanta. We had the
advantage of a good location for our
garden, to start with, and the futher
advantage of being without any capital,
besides a few hundred dollars. I say
advantage because I have seen so many
instances where people went to garden
ing with plenty of capital, bnt without
knowledge of the business, and sunk
every cent they put into it. The discur
aging effect from the loss of money
seems to paralyze the energies and warp
the judgment so that nothing rucceeds;
therefore unless a man knows his busi
ness thoroughly and right where to pat
every dollar to make it profitable, he
had better be without capital, and start
small. This is what we did. We star
ted small, and instead of trying to have
a large general garden all at once, we
made a specialty of one or two things;
we studied these special crops, both
with reference to themselves and our
market, and we made them extra fine.
This gave us control of the market along
these lines, aud a better chance for oth
er things as we gradually worked into
them.
“There are so many minute points
which contribute to success in any bus
iness that, it is hard to tell which are
the most essential. A few that I know
have helped me are First, I have a con
genial, honest, hard working partner.
He attends to the sales department of
the business, and keeps the books (our
books cost us $11).
“Second. I have been exceptionally
fortunate in my success in dealing with
men, both white and black, in bringing
out the best there is in them, getting
them enthusiastic about the work, and
making my interests theirs. This I
consider one of the main points, for I
have seen a man’s business entirely
wrecked for no other reason except that
he could not manage help.
“Third. We make it a point to know
what we are doing. We make a study
of every cron, itk needs, the soil best
adopted to it, and the fertilizers req.
uired to give the best results. Then we
study every piece of land we have, and
try to have the conditions just right to
make it do its best. The failure of a
crop is more often caused by its treat
ment than from outside couditious.
Mistakes are caused by ignorance, and
ignorance is the cause of failure nine
times out of ten in any business.”
