WHY NOT ? Fora Dumber of year* after the close of the war not a dollar of gold or silver was seen anywhere in the country, ex cept perhaps in California where a small amount <»f gold remained in cir culation. During all those years the common people comparatively pros perous. Farm products sold at a good price, wages in every industry were good, and cash was paid for almost every purchase. Farmers weie improving their lund, building comfortable homes, educating t j Jt j r t -hiidrt'u, and looked forward to comfort and abundance in their de dining years. The mechanics and wage worker* in the town* and citie* were adding to their financial standing with every day ofluboi and their surplus was being in vested in homes and comforts for them selves and families. 1 here were no trumps to speak of.— A tram hold up or bank robbery or failure was an extraordinary occur rence, und charity soup houses were unheard of. Merchants and men iu the profes¬ sions were everywhere prosperous. T he money in circulation was the greenback. Everybody seemed satis¬ fied with it. Congress was never pe¬ titioned to destroy that, money and re¬ duce everything to the limited measure of gold. Y’et Congress did that very thing. The greenback was not based on gold and silver. It was not redeemable in these metals, or either ol' them. It was the legal tender currency of the country. And the Supreme Court once decided that where a contract had been nude to be paid in gold dollars a tender of these legal-tender greenbacks paid the debt. Bonds had been issued, and bought witli these greenbacks, to be paid in the legal currency of the country. 2 It was the men-whohad bought these bonds who wanted a return to a gold basis, and they bribed Congress to make the change. In this act of infamy Con¬ gress—the people's representatives— made the bondholders enormously rich, while they destroyed the prosperity and happiness of their countrymen. Four times over have nil the national bonds been paid, while those remaining un¬ paid require more of the products of the American laborer to pay them than it would have taken to pay the entire amount when issued. Why not return to a sensible and scientific system of currency and re¬ store the prosperity and happiness of the people ? This howl about “honest money” “intrinsic value,” “foreign demand,” etc-, is all a fake. It is simply the shibboleth of the. robber baron to cover up h;s crimes and his robberies.—Ex. “COIN S FINANCIAL SCHOOL.” The gold hug brethren are iu deep despair over/'Coin's Financial School. They cannot answer the facts aud argu¬ ments that Coin sets foith, aud so they arc protesting against the framework ou which the facts and arguments arc strung. It is all very funny. A man iu Georgia writes to Colonel H. 11. Kohlsaat,Jof The ChicagoTimes Herald, to know If Com gave any lee lures in that city. Colonel takes advantage of the opportunity to declare bitterly, even indignantly, that no such lectures were ever given, and he goes on to complain that the author of the book has given to the late James W. Scott a son that he never possessed This, of course, is terrible, but it is uot all. Horace White, of (The New York Evening Post, having undertaken to reply to "Coin's Financial School," began by writiug to the goldbugs whose names are mentioned iu the volume if they had attended the lectures. Horace White never doubted that the lectures were held, but he doubted very much whether Lyman Gage,Professor Laugh liu and other goldbugs could be drawn into a public oral discussion. These gentlemen promptly wrote and Horace White that they had never tended an v such lectures. We see ver v P lai,,1 V * hat the cou * trv - - '» coming to.

Tillman, of South Carolina, was in the city thus morning, * He explained to a Herald j that he had just been on a visit to (Jlemson college and was returning. “And via Augusta is the nearest way, you know.” When asled for the news from i across the river, he said that the only thing of consequence was the clash between United States Judge Goff and the state authorities on the dispensary question. The points involved were these, ihe Senator explained: The state authorities held that they bad the right, according to law, to . seize liquor shipped to parties in the state just as soon as it crossed the state line; Judge Golf ruled that they had uot the right to seize, until the liq nor had beep delivered to the party ( o whom consigded. The Senator said that he felt cotifi dent that the South Carolina authori¬ ties would come out on top in the matter. Senator Tillman is bronzed from nx posuie, but i* in the best of health. In his section, he said, the crops generally were doing splendidly.—Augusta Her¬ ald. NOTES AND COMMENTS. The Atlanta Constitution is authority for the statement that “agents of the British gold standard in Chicago pro¬ pose to circulate Mr. Clevelands letter as a campaign document.” A very appropriate action, to he sure. A $10 5* 000 portrait of Cleveland, to hang up iu the Bank of F.nglund alongside that of John Sherman, seems to be about the next best thing in order. There is no use denying the fact that there is growing sein.mcut among the neb and their sycophantic follower#* voring a monarchy m place of the present Republic of the United States, An opportunity will be afforded to gauge this sentiment and note who are the monarchists, when the Prince of Wales makes Ins proposed visit to this country. Then all the title worshipers and fool aristocrats and their sympa¬ thizers will make a nauseateing exhibit of servility and toadyism to a sprig of royalty who ha* spent a lifetime wait¬ ing vainly for a crown. We shall then know to a certainty whether the mon arcbial sentiment is alarmingly preva¬ lent iu this country. An old stoiv is told of an irishman sentenced to death who begged and was granted the privilege of selecting the tree upou which he should be hanged. He chose the gooseberry bush. “But that,” snid the judge, “is uot large enough for the purpose.” “lledad I’ll wait till it grows then,” said Pat. Gold Basis, having been doomed by populai sentiment, prefers to die upou a free-silver bush and wait tiU U K rows rather than be han & ed forthwith to the stalwart tree of l’opu position, amounting to iudirect approv al of the free silver movement.

Question 1.—1 notice some very giuwing descriptions ot sacanne, the taw forage plant winch is beginuing to &rtract utteutiou. Do you euaot'se all that is said of it? Answer i. —We, as yet, know abso¬ lutely nothing of the new plant, whicn is said to be such a vigorous grower and which its advocates claim is per tectly hardy in any climate, is not affected by drouth, and when once planted will always grow without re¬ planting. We would therefore advise caution in experimenting with it until its qualities are thoroughly tested. The fact of its rank growth a. id its entire possession of the laud would indicate that it might give trouble if not kept Within bounds. FEEDING COTTONSEED TO IIOG9. Question 2 —Can cottonseed or cot¬ tonseed meal be fed to ho"s with im pauity? I have heard that it is dun gerous. Answer 2. —Cottonseed meal is to the southern farmers and stock breed¬ er* what corn is to the west. It is rich in nutriment aud fattening qualities, and while it is a rich and valuable feed for cows, the experiment stations aud breeders have found it dangerous to feed to hogs,although they eat it heart iiy. A North Carolina breeder writes the Qa2eUe thjU a{ter lwo y6ar3 - , [,. SV9rimeMia with cottonseed and Uouseed Bieal t0 ho gs he finds that bv ttoakitlg the seeU in water uutil fe r mellt ed and the fermentation wasover. that the ho-» had no further trouble f roDt eating-t, and he fattened 50 hogs Bt fi rst cautiously with corn.and finally fed alone without losing a hog, aiul his neighbors have been equally success ftvl. We have not tested this plan, but if fermenting the seed removes the dan¬ ger, this discovery will be of incalcu¬ lable value to the south. The same principle i* illustrated in the plan of an experienced hog raiser, who says that in feeding his hogs on cottonseed he has found that by allowing them to ** ud in water for awhile, tha seed *„mre equally relished by the liogs and were harmless. His plan was to throw them into a mud hole, and after a time, allow the hog* access them. FOR H«Xi« SI FFERINS FROM THE EFFECTS OF COTTONSEED FEED. Wood charcoal, 1 pound. Sublimed sulphur, 1 pound.

Question 3.—Can you give me some idea as to the amount of money neces* eary to start a small canning factory, with scale of prices usually paid for la¬ bor, and for fresh fruits and vegeta¬ bles, aiul the best varieties to can? Answer 3.—The following is the average as near as can be determined: Canning machinery, capacity, 2,000 S-pouud, or 2,750 2 pound cans per day, is quoted for $100 cash F. O. B. Balti¬ more.

Of course these vary somewhat in differ¬ ent sections, but are considered a standard for skillful and prompt work.

I haven’t much experience, but believe it the best method of re manning our worn lauds? A.Txwkk f>.—The following from the Georgia experiment station covers this question luily: '‘rotation. “This is based ou vviiat would bo called a three years’ course, but has been occasionally modified according to the exigencies which arise iu the course of extensive field experimentation. The j main features of the system are chiefly applicable to the four leading crops on the average Georgia farm—small grain, cewpeas, cotton and corn; but the prin- j ciplv is also applicable to the smaller crops, or those occupying relatively smaller areas. The three years’ course in these main crops implies a division that the system is to be applied to an ordinary be made, private Sept. farm, i. and a beginning j to say, “first Year. One-third of the laud should be sown in small grain, mainly oats, devoting corn laud to this. The small grain should be liberally fertil¬ ized with a highly ammouiated fertil¬ izer. On tne station no better variety of oats has been found than the Appier oat, a stra i of the Texas rustproof; btu the latter is nearly as good. The only objection to the Appier (as well as the Texas) i» the fact that it is not dis tinctively a winter oat; it is liable to be killed by very severe freezes. The winter turf is more hardy iu this re¬ spect, but not so proof against rust. “The oats should be followed inirne diately by cowpeas, sown either in 3 to 4 feet drills or broadcast. Our ex¬ periments indicate that, planted in the drill aud plowed once or twice, cow peas will yii id more peas, as well as more hay. But many prefer sowing broadcast, because (1) it involves less labor, but more seed, and (2) the crab and other native grasses that spring up and mature with the peas make it easier to cure the hay. If broadcast, four to five pecks are sufficient to seed an acre. The crop should receive a dose of about 200 pounds of acid phos¬ phate and 100 pounds of kainit per acre. Our experiments indicate that it is decidedly best to convert the pea vines into hay, mowing them when in full bloom aud when there are a few grown pods. “The stubble may remain and alight second growth will bo secured before frost. Just before or soon after a kill¬ ing frost tin pea stubbie is turned un¬ der with a 2-horse plow. If convenient to pasture, cattle and hogs may be turned on successive portions of the pea fields, instead of converting the vines into hay; or a portion of the poas may be picked. "Second Y’ear.—The same division should bo liberally fertilized aud plant¬ ed in cotton, using the very best seed obtainable. In the fall of the year, say iu September, it is suggested to sow the cotton fields in rye, say one- j half bushel, or less, per acre, or in crimson clover. This is especially re- , commended on laud that is liable to wash aud leach during the winter; but the principal aim is to supply a grow¬ ing crop that will appropriate and hold the soluble plant food left in the soil, or that will bucomo soluble during the winter. “Third Year.—The land previously in cotton is the place for the corn crop. During the latter part of January and by Feb. 20, the ground should be thor¬ oughly broken, flush, with a 2-horse plow. On the station it has uot been found expedient or profitable to fertil¬ ; ize the corn crop very lightly; but it j should rather follow a highly fertilized i cotton crop. Cowpess should be plant¬ ed in the middles between the corn rows—if wider than five feet; or sown corn should be followed by small grain au< * eowpeas—commencing again, " The alK > Te is a general outline of the system which is recommended for general adoption throughout the ootton belt. Of course it may be modified ac¬ cording to circumstances. For in¬ stance, in some sectious tobacco may take tne place—iu part or in whole—of cotton; in the mountain region the oats may be fouud to succeed better if sown in the spring, etc. “1 have followed up only one of the three supposed divisions of the farm iu the alK >ve outline; of course the other two rotate m the same order, s0 that each year one-third shall be in small grain and peas, one-third in cot ton aud oue-third iu corn.
