Let well enough alooe. The tiger of human nature b rising in hnmaaity. It destroyed ancient Rome. Il leveled the walls of Tyre and HI don. ft overthrew Greece. Babylon went down before its mighty wrath. Egypt crumpled under its tread. It guilliotined the nobility of France and beheadel Charles the First. Ah ! it comes nearer. It walked barefooted over frozen grounds and after seven years bloody struggle established .American Indepen dence. It looked over the gleaming barrels of deadly weapons in the Tennessee mines. It stood before the leadeu hail of re- |*eaters at Homestead looking into the jaws of death without flinching. It is echoed back from C«eur d’Alene iu Idaho. Beware, I say, lest your greed for more will lose you what you have already ptl. Oil, plutocracy! Be wise. I .earn from the past and take y«ur hand from the throat of labor or, take the conse quences of your own indiscretion. A Short Homily ComUtlalmg Mach of IVae- Ileal Value. Southern farmers are too Impulsive They have by some means established a reputation just the opposite to this, but they do not deserve it. When I aay they are too impulsive 1 do not mean that (they are too impulsive all the time—it t not the habit of their Uvea I simply ran that when their impulses move them in any given direction they are apt to go too far and too fast, and they do 'pot count the ties nor inspect the road Chamberlain’s Eye and Skin Ointment.

Hundreds of cases have been cured by il after all other treatment had failed. It is put up in 2<i and 50 cent boxen. For sale at the Cash Drug Store. But there is no safety in discontent. Open your eyes and look out up thin broad land. Beautiful houses, fra grant flowers, and lovely pastoral scene* charm the eye. Jawing herds, babbling brook* and song of birds greet the car. All these are the gift of God. Here once were mighty forests in whose primeval depth* roamed the untu tored red man in the simplicity of In* Here sat the lovely Indian maiden listening to the soft music of the babbling brook while she wreathed a garland of natural flowers. All this was made for man. Strong bands aud willing hearts have felled the mighty forest*. In their stead have liccn built ticaiiti- fill cities with marble palace-, <*u|>|*orted by Corinthian columns. Settled under tlu* bills ami out u|miu the broad plains arc towns and villages that echo re»|»on*e to the great heart throist of trade of the commercial mart) Fields <if golden grain and herd* « “ejUtle on a thousand hills’’ swell the t hie oFjpruKUyr cumuirrealhqt marly •*» a* the greatest nation on earth. Hun-ki**rd flowers on the banks of clear rippling streams smile as we pass. Green fields hemmed in by stately row* of hedge stretch a* far as eye can reach. Surely we <»ught to lie a happy nation. But we are not. The |iall of gloom and discontent rests over this beautiful land. ‘•IWt touch the flowers,” “Keep of! the grass,” are signs that strike a not* of discord in our nature. What flowers? Whose grass? They are God'*. The finest artist canmd paint the color of the one, or the best mechanic imitate the perfection of the other. But why not touch them if they are 4 bid’s. Ah, they are claimed by man. That which was intended for all lias l»een pre-empted by a few. The poor care for the flowers and nurse them into tender life. The rich enjoy their fragrance. The stately building-, the marble walled palace*, are the handiwork of the |ss»r, but they do not occupy them. But those green tiebls, the golden grain, surely those belong to the poor. No, indeed ! It is only theirs t and sweat, to dig and delve. The profits of their labor gorw to tlmae who “toil not, neither do they spin.' The mortgage! Debt! O,that awful , curse of the human family, has laid hold j of those beautiful lands. Home* have been wrecked! The fond hopes and happiness of lives have gone out in the depths of despair. And for what ? To huiM beautiful homes—palaces— f**r the rich. The poor behold the palaces they have built They compare them with the hotels they occupy. They ask, “why is this ?” They look upon their pale wives, their hungry and uneducated children. lKscontent seizes their hearts. They go to church. The minister tells them to he patient; “that through much suffering they will he made perfect.” But this does not answer the question. Why should they who toil and spin have nothing, while they whp toil at have all the good things of this earth? They charge the church with hypo- criay. They lose confidence in humanity. They curse the unequal condition of things. They strike out wildly, vieiowsfy. des perately. >. Ah, Mr. Flute, be careful. You are provoking a dangerous power. The more you deprive them the more dangerous it grows. hirh they pass. It U a rash de termination to get there, not a cool, calculating progress. There b now a widespread inclination to alack up on itton, and the prevailing idea Is that the farmers generally must settle upon substitute for the fleecy staple, that ** so long been the farmer'll hope and the fanner's disappointment. Hundreds re going to plant castor Wans, with- ut considering whether the world ant* any more crude oil or Scott’* mulsion or not. and I very much fear that a deluge of thb useful medicinal oil will flood the country and show the fanners their mistake. They will find that overproduction is much easier to accomplish with castor ot! than with cotton. Others think broom corn Is l*» be the salvation of the country, when, as a matter of fact, one Texas county could supply the entire continent with new brooms—enough to sweep the farmer's pockets clean of cash. The pecan is another craze that has tilled a great deal of space in the papers and has lieen exager ated into a bonanza. A large her would go into the wholesale production of the peanut; some talking hemp; some ramie, some jute, some rice and some one thing and some another. They want to cut loose from old customs and jump head foremost into some new thing that some in terested person says will surely enrich those who patronize it. In regard to the products mentioned, the castor Uwns ana the broom corn can be easily overdone, because the uses to which they can be put are limited, and even a doubling of the present crops would constitute over-production. They should not be attempted except by a few who may chance to be favorably situated for shipping and marketing the crops. The pecan is all right for the genera tion following those who. do the planting: but our children will never reap the immense profits that some have indicated. Pea nut* are a valuable crop, and can be raised all over the south. They are more profitable as hog-feed than for market purposes, and every fanner should raise them. But. mind, peanuts can not take the place of cotton, except as a part of a general plan that will re duce the product of the staple. The other crops are yet in an experimental stage, and moat men would do better not to fool away their time with them. Some of our farmers may do well to drop cotton entirely: but for the major ity a general diversity, which shall in clude as much cotton as can be proper ly cultivated and gathered without interfering with the general plan of the farm, will be best- ing out after new agricultural gods it will not do to go too far nor too fast: for. if a mistake is made, it will only take longer to get back to sound princi ples. Sudden changes are not whole some and generally not permanent. Any.change that fanners make should be cautiously thought out beforehand, and it will generally be best to make haste slowly. Those who are thorough ly convinced that a change will suit their condition, should act accordingly. Those who are not so convinced—and these are a large majority—would do well to follow some such plan as this: a for as possible, everything that can be consumed on the farm: as fast aa possible improve the form stock W.
