HUYAN-SKW ALL
William .J liryan, the brilliant free
silver orator of tbo W, st received
the nomination fo president at the
Democratic National Convention
which convened at, Chicago last week.
Mr. iiryan has th honor of being
the youngest man ever nominated
for President of the United States,
lie is only one year over tho consti
tutional limit. Mr. Bryan is i: Ne
braskian and has represented that
state twice in Congress. Arthur
Hawaii, of Maine, was nominated for
Vice Jfhd m a man well equipped for
his work.
Below we give a few planks of the
platform.
We demand the free and unlimited
coinage of both Hirer and gold at the
present legal ratio of 16 to 1, without
waiting for tho aid or consent of any
other nation. We demand that the
standard silver dollar ahull he a full
legal tender, equally with gold, for
all debts, public aud private, and we
favor such legislation as will prevent
tor the future the demonetization of
any kind of legal lender money by
private contract.
We aie opposed to the policy and
practice of surrendering to the hold
ers of the obligations of the United
States tlie option reserved b\ law to
the government of redeeming such
obligations in either silver coin or
gold coin.
We are opposed to tho issuing f
interest-bearing bonds of U.e United
States in time of peace and condemn
the trafficking with banking svndi
cates which, in exchange for bonds
and at an enoi iii > s profit to ttiem
selvea.auppiy the federal treasury with
gold to maiiuain the policy of gold
monomctalisin.
Congress alone has the power to
coin and issue money, and l’resident
Jackson declared that this power could
nut be delegated to corporations or
individuals- wt therefore, denounce the
i*: ..-ro-i'e of notes intended t* circulate
as money by national banks as in
irrigation of the constitution and
we demand that all paper which is
made a legal tender for public and
private debts, or which is receivable
for dues to the United Slates shall
be issued by the government of the
United States and shall be redeemable
in coin.
Recognizing the just claims of de
serving union soldiers we heartily in
dorse the rule ot the present com
missioner of pensions, that no names
shall oe aibitrarily dropped from the
pension roll and the tact of enlist
ment and service should be deemed
conclusive evidence against disease
and disability before enlistment.
We hold that the most efficient
way of protecting American labor is
to prevent the importation of foreign
pauper labor to compete with it in
the home market, and that the value
of the home market t our American
farmers and artisans is greatly re
duced by a vicious monetary system
which depresses the prices of tbeii
products below the cost ot production
aud thus deprives them of the means
of purchasing the products of our
home manufactories, and as labor
creates the wealth of the country,
we demand the passage of such laws
as may he necessary to protect it in
all its rights.
We are opposed t<> life tenure in
the public service. Wc favor ap
pointments based upon merit, fixed
terms of office and such ail adminis
tration of the civil service laws as
will afford equal opportunities to ail
citizens of ascertained fitness.
We declare it to be the unwritten
law of this republic, established by
custom and usage of one hundred
years and sanctioned by the ex- m
ples of tho greatest and wisest o:
those who founded and have main
tained ouiwgovernment, that no man
should be elligible for a third term
for tho presidential office.

Qi;:-TION*. —Can you give ran some
idea about applying plant food to dif
ferent qualities of land? Of course. I
know that no specific rules can be {riven,
but in a general way I would like to
have some reliable guide, so that when
I begin to make my estimates for fertil
izers I may not apply certain kind
where not needed, or leave off an im
portant constituent where most lives
sarv. I know that I have waded hun
dreds, I may say thousan-l*, of dollar--,
by an injudicious use of various phiur.
foods which, if properly applied, would
have been money in my pix-kot. Kven
at this late day I wish, if possible, to ob
tain a clearer knowledge of certain prin
ciples of which X have been lamentably
ignorant.
Answer.—lt may bo set down as n
general rule, that unless land has a rea
sonable amount of humus, no commer
cial fertilizer yvill succeed well. This is
the one grand mistake that most South
ern farmers have made. NYo have sed
ulously cultivated most of the humus
out of our lands, paid very Jit!b- at
tention to rotation of crops or other
means for replacing it, and then de
pended on commercial fertilizers to <lo
tho entire work. Wo should make
this question of the needs of dif
ferent crops ono of earnest study. 1 hiv

by thoughtless cultivation, arc pro

allowed to waste altogether. Your quo i
tioll is comprehensive, because the not (is
of the land are so intimately associated
with tho needs of the crops, that we can
scarcely discuss one without including
tho other.
Tho Cornell K.xpprimont Statin') (jives
some general rules for applying plant
food to the ordinary classes of lauds'of I
winch the following arc some of tho !
principal points. Reclaimed low laud,
rich in vegetable matt >r. is likely to bo
rich iu nitrogen, but del: ient in ph -s
--phorio aciil. Well drained highlaud,
purticularly on exposed locations, is
more likely to bo deli -tout in nit. 'gen ,
than in phosphoric acid. A small I
z'owth ' I' leaf or -mil; if the pli 1 i
- favorably develop ?,l, iiulieu'c ;
a defleioncy of nitrogen. l-’.>r insf.in •. , :
a large yield of plump, bright grain :
from a small or moderate sized stalk in I
dientes an abundance of pltosph' rie acid
and potash in the soil and a lack of ni
trogen. On the other hand, a redun
dancy of leaf and stalk with a -mall ;
light grain, indicates an abundance of ■
nitrogen and an insufficient amount of
phosphoric wid and potash. A- a rule,
plants having the greatest leaf and, cel- j
opment require the most potash. Farm
manures that have boon well cared for '
and protected contain about twice as
much nitrogen as phosphoric arid, and
therefore land that has receiv'd recent
liberal applications of barnyard man
ures, i, not apt to be deli, tent in mtr,
gon. In purchasing commercial fertil
izers it is well to remember that high
grade goods give morn plant food for
the' cost than low grade.
Soils that contain an abundance of
lime do not need much phosphoric acid,
but l quire potash. If the soil i: not
rich in lime, acid phosphate is tho b t t
formas well as tho cheapest* mv-of
phosphoric acid. If cotton is the crop
to he grown, the less suin', lo and less
expensive brands give as good results,
because the plant contilines its growth
through along season. But for corn,
grain, or any quickly maturing crop, it
is important to use the more soluble
forms. Nitrogenous fertilisers are ex
pensive and are not needed on soils,
which produce a good stalk or leaf
growth, but if the plants arc weak and
small, give them nitrogen. Cottonseed
meal and nitrate of soda arc tho best
forms for general use.
If large amounts of fertilizers are to
be used apply broadcast beforep’.auri.tig;
if only a limited amount, apply m roe
drill, aud run a long, narrow soo :or -la
the same furrow, to thoroughly mix the
fertilizer with the soil. In tho limits of
an article like this xve can only t. ueh
on the most important points of this far
reaching subject. It is one ever new
and ever developing. If, where condi
tions are suitable, xve would grow peas
tit is not yet too Into to sow them), cut
tho hay, turn under the stubble, and
before planting, put on our fertilizers,
which can bb applied more he :vily be
cause of the humus furnished by tlm
peas, wo would soon be able to produce
more satisfactory and better paying
cru|is. This systc; i holds g >od for cot
ton, corn and ail small graiu crops.
