I do not think there has has been any difficulty at any -time in ge.ttiug money at six per cent, on first-rate collaterals. At any rate, officers of some of the largest financial institutions in the city have told.me so. The trouble has been with needy borrowers with securities about which there was some sort of doubt. The most of these needy borrowers are now out of the market aud their loans are in charge of ihe courts. ‘‘The trust stocks—Sugar, Lead, Whiskey and tilings of that kind— have produced much of the trouble, in my opinion. The public lost money by them, aud consequently lost confidence in everything in Wall street- And the difficulty was not that these stocks did not have some merit, but that the com panies were organized the wrong way. The sugar trust, for instance, had a perfectly safe and legitimate business. Suppose that appraisers had fixed the price of properties that were absorbed by it—meu of position whose valuation would have been at once recognized as just The result would have beeu vastly different. I know of prop erty that was bought fora hundred or two thousands and represented in the capitalization, I understand, as a million or more. Fortunately I have-uever had any interest in any of these trust stocks. “I received my education in that line a fbod while ago. When I first came to New York a man told me very confidentially that he had discovered a gold mine in New Hampshire. Well I put 8250 into the scheme, aud at that time that was a great deal of money for me. I expected dividends l ight away, but 1 am glad that there could not be any assessments. I have never since been able to .find either the county or the towu' where that mine was. supposed to be, but I have kept the certficate, on which there appears a pretty picture of the miners at work. It has beeu a sort of beacon to me ever since. ‘■‘But out of the recent troubles, good railrsad stocks will emerge with brighter prospects than they ever had before. The effect of the steady silver inflation will soon be gin to be felt. People were so anxious to anticipate these effects that they rather overreach them selves, but the results will come in the end. I hardly kuow what would be the effect of a free coin age act, aud I suppose there will be strong efforts in that direction in the next congress. There is certainly not gold enough in the world to go around and England and Germany may be forced to that conclusion. Z.

The locking-up has been done, in my opinion, by the public, who were not sure that gold would hot seem be at a premium aud so concluded that a few gold certificates would be a good thing to keep. That this is the secret is partly shown by fre quent instances I have heard of recently of men bringing gold cer tificates to exchange them for stocks. The buying of small lots by investors who took the stocks away with them has been very large in the aggregate. This coun try is growing rich and able to take care of itself. Iu France the great sums of money that are brought out from old stockings are amaz ing. The American people seem to be adopting the same habit, and. the most of the stocks that have beeD taken from the street have been paid for out of j'nst such hoardings. The influence of this and other causes will make good railroad stocks much higher when urges the immediate passage of the measure known as the Lodge elec tion bill; and Whereas, Said bill involves a radical revolution in the election machinery of the union, both state and national, and its passage will be fatal to the autonomy of the statps and cherished liberties of the citizens; and Whereas, Said bill is partison in spirit, and will be partisau in its application, thus revitalizing the gory ghoSt of sectional es trangement; and Whereas, Iu the holy war which we have declared against sectional ism, the firesides of the farmers in the north, east, south and west, are citadels around which the heaviest battles are being fought, and to the- end that victory may crown our crusade, let fraternity and uni ty reign; therefore, be it Resoslved,' By the National Far mers’ Alliance and Industrial Union of America, in national counsel assembled, That we do most solemnly protest against the passage of the Lodge election bill, and we most earnestly petition onr senators to employ all fair and le gal means to defeat this unpatriot ic measure, which can result in nothing but evil to one common and beloved country. Resolved futlier, That a copy of this preamble and resolutions be forwarded to each senator iu con gress .” Of the resolution, the corre spondent of the Atlanta Constitu tion says: “The mauuer in which the alli ance condemned the force bill was important. It was introduced by Mr. AY. S. McAllister, of Missis sippi, after it had been submitted to the northern and .western dele gates. Presidsut McGrath, of Kausas, seconded the resolution, and moved its adoption without reference to a committee. There was no direct opposition. Two delegates, one M>in PennsjTviinin, and one from Illinois, thought the resolution untimely, but voted for it on its passage, which was by ac clamation. The farmers sent their condemnation hot on the wire, and its echoes have already come back from AYashingtou.

In 1863 a cancer developed on my lower lip. I went under treat ment at once, and from time to time since that have had medical aid iu New Orleans, Boston and New York, with no benefit at- all.

Swift’s Specific is certainly a great boon to humanity. D. D AY are, P. O. Box, 1022, Keeue, N. H. DISGUSTED WITH A DOCTOE 1 I contracted a severe .case of Blood Poison iu 1883, and my phy sician put me under a mercurial treatment of 3 months without do ing me any good, in fact I was gradually growing worse. I then consulted another physician, who tried me with potash and sarsapa rilla, but with no better resnlfc. I then became disgusted with doc tors and their remedies, and com menced taking Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.) After taking seven bottles most part, are burdened with too much land, and this, with the pres ence of jjjSjigreliabl.e system of la bor, renders farming a risky busi ness. The great need is for immi gration of a reliable, respectable and thrifty class, natives or for eigners of small capital, and brim ming over with perseverence and euergy AVe have frequently contended that the farmers of Greene county have long stood in their own way by their negligence in endeavoring to secure this class of immigrants. It would pay them to give away a portion of their farms in order to secure an influx of industrious and deserving peaple. . There is no doubt that the labor question in our section is one of the most diffi cult problems with which we have to deal. AYe must, soouer or later, look elsewhere than to the negro as a farm laborer, and the sooner this is done the better. The immigration alluded to above meets in a good degree this point. Should large farms be cut up, aud a certain portion of them absolutely deeded to good fartqers who would obligate themselves to build ou them, aud work them, it would not be JoDg before the first would be followed by others who would be willing to pay for their farms, aud the land owners would, in the end, secure more for a few acres than hundreds will now briDg on the market. This is a subj'ect worthy of con sideration. The immigration turn ed here would quickly build up neighborhoods and communities of thrifty farmers, and the present farm laborers—who are almost ex clusively consumers—be supple mented by industrious and hard working producers, with an inter est in the country, and actuated with a desire to add to its progress and prosperity. AVe commend oar farmers to a consideration of this subj'ect, and should they but act in concert up on the lines suggested, we are con fidant beneficial results will follow speedily. Senator Cnllom doesn’t need to be kicked bat once to understand ‘that something is wrong. He isn’t slow to see the inevitable staring him in the fsce. Hence, ho ad mits that the McKinley tariff is a huge mistake, and expresses the opinion that it should be modified. Such a tariff may .produce wealth, as it advocates claim for it, but if it does it manages to so corner the accretion that the people can’t get at it. AVhat they want is a va riety of wealth that they can all get a share of. At St. Augustine, Fla., a strange fish was caught. It measured two and a half feet in length, was of the exact color of silver, and had fangs like thase of a rattlesnake. It moved swifter than ordinnr^fish.

Respectfully, M. L. Smith For sale by Holtzolaw& Gilbert, sole agents, Perry, Ga. The Herald synopsiz.es a few typical cases of fraud. Captain D, B. Knfman, of a Pennsylvania reg iment, was dishonorably discharged from the armjr for cowardice. He applied for a pensioD, and got it. The commissioner in granting it said: “The pension system is not one of morals, but purely and ex clusively of government gratuity.” A man fell off a railroad train aud fractured his left, ankle. It was a simple case, aud the sufferer soon returned to active service in the army. He got a pension of 872 a month. A Vermonter, for a slight wound in the arm while iu the sanitary service, has drawn §20,000 in pen sions. The widow of a Pennsylvanian whoLlied of appoplexy a year after the war has remarried twice, aud still draws a pension to which she was never entitled. Many similar instances might be mentioned. The commissioner, ac cording to the Herald, has issued two or three thousand fraudulent pensions within the past year, while the Secretary of the Interior has granted more than 200 claims that were rej'ected by the commis sioner as fraudulent and undeserv ing. For general rascality and cor ruption this pension bnsiness stands unrivaled. If there was any- tilyig left in the treasury trouble might be saved byauthorizing able bodied meu who are. willing to per- j'nre themselves to file his affidavit and’draw-a certain sum. In the case of cripples even ihe affidavits might be dispensed with. Perhaps it is too much to ask for a reform, but can we not have less robbery? The Largest Tree in the World. The largest tree in the world has j'ust been discovered in Fresno County, Cal. Frank Loomis, an old mountaineer, aud party return ed recently to Sanger from a bear huntiug expedition it the Sierras. They .wounded a bear, and in pur suing it ran across a big tree in the most ragged portion of the moun tains, about two miles north of Kentucky Meadows. This mon arch of tbe foreft was circnm- scrihed by a radius of a mile or more 6f almost impenetrable un derbrush, so that the hunters were compelled to use both knife and ax to reach the center. It is-certain that no man has ever traversed the same ground The tree was meas ured about four feet from the ground and a rope 129 feet 5 inch es long was necessary to span its circumference:—Chicago Tribune. The Indianapolis (Ind.) Ram’s Hron says: “An erratic old gen tleman in New York recently went hence and left a large fortune to be expended in teaching people to eat with forks. Had he left one- half of the sum to provide some thing for them to practice on, his memory as a benefactor would have lasted longer.” The Manufacturers’ Record claims “that agricultural possibili ties of the South are greater than those of the balance of the country all combined, based on the aggre gate values and on actual profits to producers.” ELECTRIC BITTERS. This remedy isbecomiugso well known and so popular as to need no special mention. All who have used Electric Bitters sing the same song of praise.—A purer medicine does not exist aud it is guaranteed to do all that is claim ed. Electric Bitters will enre all diseases of the Liver and Kidneys, New York Chronicle. I know some houses, well built and handsomely furnished, where it is not pleasant to be even a visi tor. Sharp angry tones resound through them from morning till night-; and the influence is as con tagious as measles, and much more to be dreaded in a household. The children catch it, and it lasts for life, an incurable disease. A friend had such a neighbor within hear ing of her house when doors and windows were open, and even Poll Parrott has caught the tune and. delights iu screaming nndscokliog until she has been sent into 'the county to improve her habits. Children catch cross tones quick er than parrots. AYhere mother sets the example, you will scarce hear a pleasant word among the children is their plays with each other. Yet the discipline of such family is always weak aud irreg ular. The children expect j'ust so much scolding before they do any thing they tire bid, while in rnnuy home, where the low, firm tone of the mother or a decided look of her steady eye, is law, the chil dren never think of disobedience either iu orontof her sight. Oh, mothers, it is worth a great deal to cultivate that “excellent thing in a woman,” a low, sweet voice. If yon are ever so much tired by the mischievous or willful pranks of the little ones, speak low. It will be a great help to you to even try to be patient aud cheer ful, if you cannot wholly succeed. Anger makes you wretched and yonr children also. Impatient, an gry tones never did the heart any. good, but plenty of-evil. Yon can not have the excuse’ for them that they lighten your burdens any; they make them only ten times heavier. For your owu, as well as .your children’s sake, learn to speak low. They will remember that tone when your head is under the willows. So, too, would they re member a harsh and angry voice. AVhich legacy will you leave to yonr children ? A man of middle age, and co quettish, silky side whiskers, and au air of remarked self-satisfac tion, sat in a sixth avenue “L” car going north, at 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon. There were only two women in the car, nncl they were pretty typewriters, who sat oppo site to the man with the whiskers, and lie was evidently posing for their benefit. The car was fall. At Franklin street an ugly, shabby * little woman, with a red nose and a crying baby came in. No one offered her a seat, and after look ing around with disgust for a mo ment, she clutched n strap and tried to hush the baby. Then the man with the silky whiskers tried to be funny. “Cross, ain’t lie?” he remarked. “Naw,” she snapped. “He’s ’shamed.” “Ashamed?” said the man with the whiskers. “What’s he ashamed of?” “Ashamed of being seen riding in a cattle car,” the woman replied with r; voice like a steel trap, and a look that meant business. Tbe two typewriters giggled, two dudes tried to hide behind their caps,, a gray-haired old man got up and gave the red haired mother his sent, the other passengers smiled, and the man with the silky side whiskers went out on the platform and rode clear up to Twenty-third street without even looking at the typewriters again.
