Farmer A , out in Michigan, in
1866, borrows $1,000, of Braker B.
and agrees to pay lQper cent interest
for the use of it. This amounts to
$100 annually. In order to obtain
this $100 at that time Farmer A bad
to sell either 50 bushels of wheat, 165
bushels of oats, 125 bushels of corn,
230 pounds of butter, 650 pounds of
pork, or 170 pounds of wool.
In 1890 the loan is renewed at 7 per
cent. The interest is now only $70
annually. In order to get this amount
Farmer A sells either 120 bushels of
wheat, 400 bushels of oats, 350 bush¬
els of corn, 540 pounds of butter,
1,400 pounds of pork, or 80 pounds of
wool.
Let every farmer make a careful
study of this example! . A perfect so¬
lution of it will disclose the difficulty
with .which the people are struggling.
It is a fair statement of the ‘"power
of money to oppress/’

A man who looked like a fanner
entered a Michigan avenue grocery a
day or two ago and said to the pro
prietor:
“Do you retpemb r I came here
about four weeks ago?”
“I can't say that I do. 1 *

“No.”

“Why, you must. There was a
woman in here at the time who &aid
you had cheated her in some better.
She said the weigh was short. That
was^ what led me count my change

“Yes, you did:”
“Don’t attempt any tricks on me,
for they wont work! If I gave you
change it was all right!”
“No it wasn’t. I found it two
dollars—”
“Go oh! You are swindler!”
“Very well; good day. You gave
me two dollars too much but if you
can stand it I can. It’ll pay for get¬

There has been some inquiry about
thecivil service examinations for the
railway mail service where and wheo
they would be held. Tfie following
places and'dates for the holding of
such examinations are given for the
year 1891: Atlanta Oct. 4, Sav&nnoh
Oct. 13: Mrcon Oct. 17 Tne civil
se;vice examinations are altogether
non-political. No question regard¬
ing po ifcics are asked those who go
to be examined.
TEE RAIN MAKERS.
The department of Agriculture has
been anxious to secure some rain
producing machine that would assist
in getting rid of the droughts which
prove so troublesome on our Western
Jr
plains, 1 ' and offers have been made by
it of prizes for the most successful
and practical machine, These offers
met with several responses and a
number of rainmakers putin their
appearance with patents for causing
a shower whenever it was needed.
The first experiment in the matter
of causing rain artificially has been
tried aifd has resuited, it is claimed
in complete success. It was tested
in Western Texas in a region which
has suffered fmm drought for some
time past. Within a few hours after
the uew rain-producer had been tried
the rain began to failover an area of
1000 square miles for six hours It
now remain^, however to prove that
this was not a mere coincidence. It
a rainfall can be produced with other
experiments the world will have to
accept the theory of the rainmaker,
who claims to have the power to br¬
ing the clouds down when called on
to do so.
The plan is a simple and inexpen¬
sive one, and is founded on the
theory that a great disturbance or
the atmosphere by gunpowder or
other shocks will break up the clouds
and bring down the rain. Thi9 has
been eiearly established by the very
severe storms which have followed
all the world’s great battles,
particularly when a large amount
of gunpowder was used.
Ttiere can be no doubt that it
rain is needed in a drouth it could
readily be obtained by fighting a
battle there; but thft method would
prove far too expensive. The inven
tor of this reinmaking process pro
poses to bring about these showers
practically by the sam; means but
without going tothe expense of a
battle. Holding that the rain i-*
caused by the shock and explosion
of shells he believes that it these ex
plosions occur among*! the clou Is
themselves, instead of on the earths
far less force is needed an la few
poun Is of gunpowder or dynamite
will accomplish what would other
wise call for miny tiousiad
tons.
Acting on this principle bombs
were explo led in the air, causing
great eoncu •>sion, T.iis was f dioweel
by the forming of clouds and subsa
queutly by the forming of cl »uds
and subsequently by a heavy rain
fall—ihe heaviest known in tli it toe
a^ity for three years. Ooe would
imagine that the rain ought to coine
very soou atter the explosions, but
the experience of battles is to the
oontreay aud in the case of the Texas
experiments the rain did not come
until next day.
' There is no. reason to doubt tb it
it is within the power ot man, by
causing disturbances in the atmosp¬
here, to precipitate the rainfall when
rain-bearing clouds are passing. The
only question is whether the new
plan is a practicable one. If it is it
wiii be of gre it value tbrought the
world, aud in this country in parti¬
cular, which iu its western portions
ha9 suffered so severed so severely
from drouths.—New Orleans Times
Democrat.
The people are determined to have
cheaper money and they will get it.
There appears no good reason why
the government should not lead mon¬
ey direct tothe people a3 well as to
the banks at a low rate. It will soon
impoverish the South to pay 10 and
12 per cent and raise cotton at 7 cen¬
ts. If this is a government for the
people and by the people it should
favor the oppressed rather than aid
and protect the rich. There is a need¬
ed reform along this line and it must
speedily coroe.
