The future nf the farmers, the wage- workers, ami t lie bread-winners of ilie I'nited Slates is a subject that may well claim tln atteiition oi American tntosm:iushi. There was a time when one mijjlil turn his eyes to wliere the thrifty Iradesimiu or industrinus husliiiiiilmaii llied liis daily toil, and gaze upon a picture in which the beaming face of contentment was over present. Down in the villages where the hum of humanity ladened every breeze in the villages, over whoso housetops floated the smoke of tho factory as it bore away in graceful, everchanging convolutions until it mingled invisibly with the depths of ether, conld bo seen the cheerful abodes of happiness and love. Out upon the broad fields where the widening pastures smiled in the beau tiful sunlight, or where the ripening grain was waving and billowing in the joyous winds ; where tho ringing echoes of tho woodman's axe sang chorus to the trill of birds, were found a peace and a contentment that, made of home a paradise, of occupation n round of endless pleasure. . Then there was a condition, a jov, a happiness, that spoke of fruited hopes, and aspirations, satisfied. There were a thrift of habit anil a garniture of cir cumstance that placed their stamp upon tho lives of men and women that filled their souls with happiness and peace. True,our cities then were small ones, our towns mere villages, our villa-res hamlets. Out from these vere the smiling field in spring, verduo clothed ; in sum mer, laughing in tho quickening sun shine; in autumn, golden lined, purple and brown, and in winter reposing be neath the drifted snow. Back of these was the wilderness into which the cohort of civilization were following close in tho wako of tho swift videttes of day, as morn after morn these chased across the distant horizon the shadows of night. To hill and mountain and plain there was then no thrill of transconti nental railway train. Tho invisible coursers of electricity bore no swift messages along Iho singing telegraph wire. Theso came later came with great cities, inntty towns, growing villages thoso and other active con comitants of a civilization that, is with out parallel, robust energy and expedi tion. But what a ''Pandora's Box" of evils camo following in tho wako of this civilization's march! Like tho fabled Harpies, gaunt sisters of deceit, wrong, and crimo there camo new and strange things, methods and oner- gics that struck from the lips of man the overflowing cup of contentment, changed laughter to lamentations and smiles to tears. There camo multitudes of people, affording opportunities for the amassing of wealth in a measure unheard of and unexampled. But it was not that wealth of simple plenty that is so great a boon to man, but that which nourishes the ' most ignoble ambition, surfeits aspiration and begets a vanity whose hot breath scorches the soul and burns out all the nobler attributes of man. With this wealth thore camo an in satiate desire for power power to enslayo the poorer classes of humanity and rob them of tho fruits of thoir toil. Like tho breath exhaled from tho Upas tree, tho desiro for wealth, for power, for ostentation and show,' grow upon tho pcoplo, aud before tho hosts of ambition and vain-glory, of avarice and parsimony, tho gentle gonii of contont mcnt, hope and joy fled to realms un known. Fled that noblo trust and con fidence man had iu man; fled all those purer, manlier traits that bind human ity in one vast brotherhood. Tho result of this doplorablo change in condition and character has been to build up a monied aristocracy on the one hand,' and to reduce to partial serfdom and slavery two of the classes of our population that were once the most prosperous and contented. In tho mad rush for success in the accumulation of vast hordes of wealth, the strong are trampling tho weak under foot, and, all heedless of the bones they are crushing, of the quiver ing flesh they, are lasccrating, of the sacred lives they are destroying, they press forward with the fierce, inhuman recklessness of wild beasts. Little they rock of the homes they make desolate, of tho eyes from which they wring tears. "' What care they for the mouths they mako hungry, or of tho hearts they torture? Human ties, even human life is nought to them in that mad, absorb ing last and chase for gold. Whitner are we driftine:? wo no longer have the great west as a sane tuary for those who can flee the op pressors' gall. , The better portion of this is occupied, 'and tho occupants aro already paying a ruinous tribute to plutocracy. Where will be the end? Is this country destined to tho ruin and degredation that befell the pride of Rome? Is the madness of tho French revolution to be repeated here? God defend us from such a fate as that ; and yet tne corruption of the Caesar3 and the tyranny of French aristocracy were not more dangerous to human liberty and human weal than tho plutocracy of the America Republic. GOOD COUNTRY ROADS. Gov. Francis in his message to the legislature urged that measures be taken to provide for the people of the state better highways. This is a subject that should have tho attention of not only the state leg. islature and the county courts but of the people also. Several years ago Judgo John F. Philips made a tour through Europe, including tho interior of France. When he returned he was asked : 'What great work did you see during "your travels that most impressed you "with the greatness of tho man who mado it?" He answered with readiness "The roads of France." "The roads and road system of France," he said, "redowned more to tho glory of the great Napoleon than do all his achievements in the Held or on his imperial throne." The value of good roads to a country is incalculable. They add more to the' ease comfort and profits of the fanning community than anything else save gooil houses. While the roads of l.:if;netle county are comparatively fair, they are by no means perfect not vet what thev ought In lie.uor what they will lie when the (leoolc liecoinefully aroused lo Iho importance of having I hem. I lin ing t he ci-t year, the roads have been greatly improved. A niajoril y of the districts now have road graders, and where these are used there is a great change for the better. Bui the work if improvement .should not stop here. The acme of good thoroughfares will not be reached until there is a system of macadamized roads extend ing nil over the county. One thing the people who raise corn, wheal, cattle, hogs, and liny need to do is to mako themselves as independent of the rail roads as possible. They cannot become so while liable to be debarred from mar keting their own produce. MISSOURI MISREPRESENTED. George E. Leighton, of St. Louis, is in Washington City representing tho gold bugs. Xn an interview he said : 'Notwithstanding the cry of interested parties he maintained that, tho great body of tho industrious people of the west, and especially of Missouri, was opposed to free coinage." It is strange that any man from Missouri who is at all conversant with public sentiment in this state should make such a statement as that: and the Tntkf.ugexcer is forced to the conclusion that Mr. Leighton doesn't know what, he is talk ing about. Either this, or he wilfully misrepresents the people of not only Missouri but of the entire west. The lTi'.Ll.ii;KNCKit has had ample means of learning what the sentiment of tho pcoplo of this state is, and will guaran tee that more than ninety percent of the men in Missouri who earn their own living are in favor of the free coin age of silver. CLEVELAND OPPOSES SILVER. IS rover Cleveland is not. given to equivocal ion. He is one prominent man in politics who never uses lan guage to disguise his thoughts. He is a man thoroughly courageous, and a man of the firmest convictions. Mr. Cleveland was called upon to address a business man's club which met in New York City Wednesday night to discuss- the silyer question. He could not attend but wrote a letter. Iu that letter ho set himself squarely and unequiv ocally in opposition to the free and unlimited coinage of silver as provided for in the Vest free coinage bill. In doing this, Mr. Cleveland haf? cut him self loose from the largo body of people who favor the silver coinago measure and has allied himself irrevocably with thoso who would thrust out of sight tho interests of the non-capitalistic class. What the result will bo it is not difficult to foresee. It will be the almost total alienation of the entire democratic party of tho west, one of the most regrettable things that could happen. But the west has interests, and those interests must bo protected There is no protection to them by the monied plutocrats of the east save that shown br the wolf to the lamb. The eastern plutocrats, those ruthless robbers that have so long despoiled tho west; those insolent task masters that havo hold tho farmers and laborers in bondage, for so many years; those giant monopolies that havo ground the people to want ; those soullessTampiros that havo been sucking the life blood of the people those creatures whose representatives stand up in congress and seek to deprive the west and south of the advantages of silver coinage should understand this: The people of the west and south need and want silver coinage, and they are going to have it. It they cannot get it through this congress they will have it by the next. If this administration dares, iu its slavish subserviency to the pluto crats of New York and New England to veto the free coinage bill, then the people will put in a president who will listen to the voice of the people, and obev their commands. Mr. Julian of Jackson county is at work on a bill to secure the assessment of promissory notes. Tho bill will provide that in a suit on a note the defendant may set up tho claim that tho taxes on the noto have not been paid and thus throw tho burdeu of proof on tho holder of the note. In case it is shown that tho taxes have not been paid tho holder of tho note is assessed the amount of them and tho money goes to the persou who made tho note and forced tho proof of non pavment. Tho fact that tho notes have been out of tho slate cannot bo argued. as the bill will provide that proof of the paymont of taxes upon them In the state where they were must be fur nished. ' Last year the imports into Brazil from all otho countries amounted to 858,635-182,-lC, Of this amount the United Statso exported and sold only 5,430, 532.00. By a reciprocity treaty be tween Brazil and the United states, many articles of imports from this country will bo admitted free, and tho duty on others will bo reduced 25 per cent. In consideration of these concession, tho United States will admit Brazilian coffee, sugar, hides and mola?scs, products of Brazil,free of duty. The outlook for the Missouri Kivor Packet Co. h not encouraging. Unless some needed river improvement is done soon the boats will not bo put in Missouri river service at all this year. The company claims that a little work at the mouths of Grand, Osage and Gasconade rivers would greatlv facili tate river traffic. Don't buy or trade for any Stone count land unless you know who you are buying from. There is a gang of scoundrels making bogus deeds to Stone county bind, and more than one unlucky wight has been swindled v them.

A" machine has been invented for ex- Iractmg liber from fibrous plants, aim .1 the davs of breaking and hackling are iver. It has been a marvelous feat for :i Cuban or Bahama islander to scrape live or six pounds of manilla, Jille oi ;aj in a day, but with the new naehine it, will be possible for a man and two bovs to run out HMO pounds f liber iu that time. Vast areas in Torida, Louisiana, TVxas.New Mexico, Arizona and Southern California are overed with librous plants, such as the . . maguey, rhamie, sissai ami mescimi, while on the Bahama islands tho pine apple plant abounds and the culture of it and other plants of a like nature for their fibrous qualities is the chief iidustry of the inhabitants. It, has always been tho misfortune of tho farmers that tho genius of man has not devised a means of oombiug out fiber in a manner less laborious than the rharaohs had of making bricks. Tho want of such a machine has kept tho price of twine aud all kinds of cordage far abovo and out of all proportion to the simple way in which it can and must be provided. Fancy a machine, says the Chicago Post, that looks like one for making bricks by steam power, being fed a big six-foot banana stalk at one end, which stalk comes out with all tho libera finely . separated at the other. Imagine a pineapple plant being pushed and drawn under steel blades and iu a few seconds appearing in beautiful silken shreds as soft and fluffv as a cocoon, a few strands of which, twisted between tho palms, make a lino as strong as strips of steel. Maguey is treated iu a similar fashion, and, lo and behold ! it is seized in an instant and baled like cotton and ready for manufacture into all sorts of cordage. By an artificial treatment the silken fibers of the pineapple plants are puri fied, mixed with wool, silk and other fabrics, and then sold in stores as 'camel's hair underwear,' 'medicated,' this and that, pure silk hosiery and a dozen other articles of apparel. The fibers of all the plants named are nearly white. The bleaching process ia rcnuired to adant tho various varie ties to tho needs of commerco and tho mice of binding twine alone, over which our American farmers havo so isrorouslv kicked, will bo reduced from 1G cents to 0 cents per pounu. EVEN AS YE DO IT UNTO THOSE.' A man will travel a long time ami a great distance boforo ho finds better pooplo than thoso who live in Lafayette county. On tho 20th of December last Mr. Albert Cole, who lives threo miles from Higginsvillo had the misfortune to have his house and many of tho coutonts burned. It was a sad blow to him and seemingly an irreparable loss. But not so. Mr. Colo..had neighbors and friends who were so in deed and act. These came to his aid. They hauled him lumber, supplied him with funds and rendered all the assistance in their power. By their timely aid the L of a new house has been built and occupied, and plasterers are at work on the main building. All this for for friendship's Bake and not for pay, and Mr. Cole thinks he has the best neisrnDors in tne worm, ine Intelligencer agrees with him fully. Mr. Dalton, chairman of the com mittco, on corporation, is working on a more equllablo taxation of corpora, tions. Tho bill will probably provide for a stato board of assessments to assess corporations, and it is probablo that capital stock will be taken as statomont of woalth, If the stato would slap a good healthy tax on that $1,300,000,000 of incor porated capital that has been going untaxed for years past, and convert the same into a road fund it might lend material aid to tho pooplo in making good roads. A netition was presented and a signed by members of the Maple Glen Sabbath school on last Sabbath protesting against the opening of the World's Fair on the Sabbath day. At their weekly prayer meeting a few evenings before they voted a pro test on the same question. Will not many others from this part of the country join in this work, send in their petitions with thousands of others throughout our land, to tho commia sioners of tho exposition protesting against tho desecration of the Sabbatnr PERSONALITIES.

There will be a maise and thiinksniv- ng service at the Men's meeting Sunday afternoon at H o'clock. All men, and especially young men, are invited to at tend tins meeting. The fact that the association has taken new lease of life inspires the voting men of tho community with eonlideiiee in it.
