SI.OO A YEAR, IN ADVANCE.
Friday, June 15,1900.
The historian of a thousand years hence
will write of the ancient Republic of
America that its liberties were overthrown,
and an adventurer named Hanna became
Dictator for a short period, but one Col
ouel Bryan, a tribune of the people,
restored their liberties and banished
Hanna the Dictator. McKinley’s name
will be barely mentioned by the historian,
if at all.
Iu the campaign of 1900 the Repub
lican party will follow a man who has
been false to every principle to which at
one time he has given endorsement, who
has been constant only in his inconsist
encies, who has designated one path as
“plain duty,” only immediately to follow
the path of plain perfidy; whose public
utterances have been platitudes, and plat
itudes and platitudes.
More men are at work now than there
were in 1896 but they are working for
lower wages. The trust system has raised
the cost of living 25 to 50 per cent, while
the average rise in wages has been 7 '/i
per cent, hence the strikes which are
raging in every part of the country where
many hands are employed. The meu
feel the pressure of increasing harder
times though they may not be able to
point out the source whence they come.
If it wasn’t contemptible it would be
amusing to hear the bank trust papers
roar against trusts and at the same time
rage like madmen against free coinage of
silver, and try to squelch into silence all
discussion of the money question in the
Presidential campaign.
The bank paper money trust is the
greatest of all trusts and free coinage of
silver would be the most fatal blow that
could be delivered against that trust.
They want to discuss everything else but
the money question. The people must
be kept in ignorance on that subject if
possible.
Of all the disgruntled ones of that little
flock without a party who call themselves
gold Democrats, none appear to be more
distressed than the Cecil Democrat. The
good advice the Democrat has been giving
the party about that silver plank, a hun
dred chances to none the Kansas City
convention will disregard it all and nom
inate by acclamation both Bryan and the
silver plank.
What kind of a party would it be any
how, headed by such men as Whitney,
Latnont, David B. Hill, Gorman, Rasin,
Cleveland, Harrity, Quicy, et. al. with
their gold standard ? They couldn’t
carry a State and it is doubtful if a coun
ty. They tried it in ’96.
--Hisjtmusiug. as the State conventions
meet and pass resolutions in favor of the
nomination of Bryan and the principles
enunciated iu the Chicago platform, to
witness the squirming and twisting of that
nondescript element of the party called
gold Democrats, to get some ambiguous,
winding around, long draw out sentence,
a kind of back door to the silver plank,
by which they can step in without being
seen. The bluster of the little crowd is
like tossing up feathers against the wind
in their effort to control the greatjpopular
masses and eliminate silver and free coin
age from the tenets of the Democratic
party, and drive Bryan to omit referring
to silver, as vital as any other principle
contended for.
If the old trading politicians can get a
rigmarole sentence inserted in the State
platforms in which 16 to 1 is not written
ont in just so many letters and figures,
but as lully embraced as though it were,
they breathe easy and declare they can
come back to the party. It’s like pulling
teeth, but there is no help for it The
Palmer and Buckner fiasco proved the
most dismal of failures, and the shouting
of the Republican papers, “silver is dead,
silver is dead,” was only vexation and
blighted hopes. The people are bound to
have Bryan and silver.
Congress and Its Work.
Last week Congress came to a close
and adjourned at five o’clock on Thursday
afternoon. It appropriated #709,700,000
with a deficit of #170,000,000 which
should have been added to complete the
work laid out, and will have to be added
by the next session, making a colossal
expenditure of #879,700,000, an expendi
ture exceeding any other government on
earth. At this rate a billion will soon be
required to run the government a year it
the colony business inaugurated by Mr.
McKinley or the power behind him is
to be adopted.
And what has the session to show for
this bill of expense? Not one act was
passed to release the people from the
grasp of monopoly and trust rule, and
only one act of vital importance to the
country, which was the hankers’ act
creatiug a more complete bankers' trust.
The banking power ordered Congress
at its previous session to prepare their bill
during recess, by a committee under their
direction, which was introduced the first
day of the session and immediately
arranged for it passage. The law is one
of the most infamous financial acts and
far-reaching iu its evil results, ever passed
by that body.
This unconstitutional measure turns
over the financial prerogative of the gov
ernment to private parties.
The initial step of the empire was taken
in the bill placing a colonial government
over Porto Rico of the monarchical pat
tern. The nation has entered the pe
numbra of the shadow of the Empire
• which is eclipsing the Republic, and the
re-electiou of McKinley only is wanting
to confirm the conspirators in their pur
pose to destroy the Republic and establish
the Empire of Plutocracy.
The conditions are far more serious
than the mass of the people realize.

in all its stages, and that is Catarrh

cure known to the medical fraternity.

requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's
> Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
lirectly upon the blood and mucous sur

i foundation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the con

Cecil Farmers’ Club.
I
The Cecil Farmers’ Club met on
last Wednesday at the home of the
President, Mr. A. J. Michener,
near Colora. The meeting was
called to order by the vice-presi
dent, Mr. Alfred Kirk, and the fol
lowing answered to roll call: A. J.
Michener, Robt. Cameron, J. H.
Maxwell, Jos. T. Grove, R. K.
Rawlings, M. G. Reeder, W. W.
Moore, J. P. Wilson, Alfred Kirk,
A. R. Brown, Elwood Balderston,
Cecil E. Ewing. The visitors pres
ent were Col. John R. Bond, Rev.
D. E. Shaw aud Lloyd Balderston.
A number of letters of acceptance
I were read from members who had
j been elected at the previous
■meeting.
On the topic of experiments El
wood Balderston stated that he had
, used 400 lbs. of bone and rock on
ground for tomatoes last year. He
afterward put the ground in wheat
without additional fertilizing. He
noticed last spring that the wheat
gave a very poor showing and
sowed on broadcast 400 lbs. rock to
the acre. Wheat theu came up
nicely and looked as well as any
now.
Mr. Reeder stated that his exper
imental patch of wheat, where he
had tried sowing in different quan
tities from one to two bushels to
the acre, could not be reported on
until the grain was threshed. As
it showed now, the thicker the
stalks the shorter the head, the
thinner the stalk the longer the
head.
Mr. Rawlings stated that his
present experiment was trying to
make hay with an easterly wind
ard he was not very sanguine of
the result.
Mr. Cameron was trying 1000
lbs. rock, 000 lbs. plaster and 500
lbs. muriate potash on 2J acres of
potatoes and would report later.
Mr. Michener and others stated
that the bugs were devastating their
potatoes aud tomatoes, while in
some cases patches on adjoining
farms were entirely free from the
pest.
Mr. Brown reported a marked
difference on his grass where lime
had been spread.
Mr. Kirk had plowed down piece
of stalk ground in wheat last year
on account of fly. Same ground
was similarly affected this year,
other wheat was not.
Mr. Cameron and Mr. Michener
had a like experience, except that
their wheat this year was not hurt.
Col. Bond stated t hat he sowed
• Ij bushels of wheat to the acre aud
J had more and better wheat than
I his neighbors who sowed two bus.
j Had tried barn yard manure on a
seven acre patch and fertilizing
with cow peas aud 400 lbs. fertil
izer ou an adjoining eight acre
patch. Had better wheat on the
latter. He thought that sulphuric
acid was destroying the grass; that
j while the grass would look well the
j first year the acid would eventually
burp out the roots.
Col. Bond then gave an interest
ing talk on fertilizers and his ob
servations ou farming in this
section and in Dakota.
Mr. Moore related an experience
he had with sowing wheat last fall.
Rain prevented him getting part of
it rolled and that part now looked
better than the other.
At this point dinner was an
pounced and all adjourned to the
dining room Where mine host’s
wife and daughters had spread a
tempting array of the good things
of the land to satisfy the iuner
man.
After dinner the committee on
inspection of premises, accompanied
by most of those present, viewed
thejtields and stock.
When the meeting was again
called to order the committee
brought in a very favorable report
concerning the crops and stock and
were particularly struck with the
appearance of a pair of fine mules
and the peu of hogs. Mr. Michener
stated concerning the latter that
wheu , they were butchered he
would be able to report in detail on
them, as he keeps a full record of
all his swine from birth until sold
or butchered. The host wheu
called on for his essay read the
following:
DOES FARMING PAY!
Some are complaiuiug that farming
4oes not pay. Allow me to ask, what oc
cupation does pay sufficient to satisfy us
in this fast age? I contend that it does
give the observing and attentive farmer a
good living and a fair margin of profit.
I am informed upon good authority of a
wide awake farmer who bought a farm in
our county but a few years since and went
in debt for quite a considerable of the pur
chase money, and today he has his farm
clear and in much better state of fertility
•ban when he purchased it ; and during
ill this time the farm kept him and his
family iu all the good things produced by
Mother Earth. Iu my travels through
the different sections I notice the farmer
who ungears from his implements when
done with for the season and lets them
remain out of doors until he wants to use
them again, is the one to complains most
about farming not paying. In my opin
ion, there are many leaks for us, the
farmer, to look after, and I am willing to
believe that many do not look around
until too late. You may say this is an
old question, and I answer by saying I
am an old time farmer aud am aware it is
an old question, but I consider it a very
importaut one, aud I am persuaded
to believe if we as farmers would look
alter the small things more closely we
would uot complain so much of hard times.
We cannot expect something lor nothing,
and, therefore, I say do not do as I do,
but be up and doing, and I feel your ef
forts will be well rewarded.
Rather than pay a fine, I submit the
above for your criticism.
The members were favorably im
pressed with the essay and regret
ted its brevity. The concensus of
opinion was that it was the careful
attention to the little things about
the farm that made the profit, if
any, nowadays.
Mr. Bond iu commenting on the
essay contended that farming in
this seetion at the present day was
not and could not be made a profit
able business under existing condi
tions. Others thought if careful
attention and strict economy were
practiced there was still a profit to
be made.
After, considerable more interest
ing discussion, the Club adjourned
, to meet with Mr. J. H. Maxwell
on August 15th.

BUFFINGTONS’
The center of attraction
Why should it be so?
Take a stroll through our eight floors now devoted
to general retailing and note the assortments; a pile
here and a pile there, purchased when it was business
to do so. Remember, one price to all and that the very
lowest.
We do not believe in any unfair way of doing busi
ness, asking a price and selling for another. No, no,
nothing of that kind allowed on this corner—a straight
sale “or none.”
Early June Arrivals.
Our store never presented a more lively up-to-date
appearance. The continual increase of demand necessi
tates continual increase of effort to meet that demand in
the best way possible.
Dimities, Organdies and fine Ginghams are leaders
in way of hot weather wash fabrics. All prices to suit
the pocket book.
Wool Dress Goods, just the thing for 1900; Silks
in all the popular colorings, children’s Parasols, fancy
and novel; ladies’ silk Laburnam Parasols in variety,
fancy Neckwear for June and July, new invoice of Silk
oline and Curtain Lace, ladies’ and gents’ Collars—the
brand that fits and wears.
Clothing and Hats
If any person had told us two years ago that our
Clothing trade would by 1900 reach its present propor
tions, what would we have thought of them! Facts,
however,now convince us. The $5, $6, $7.50, $8 and
$lO Suits are telling factors in evolution.
Shoes.
Buy the shoe that does its own blowing by silently
whispering “I wear,” “I can be purchased at a moderate
cost,” “I wear as well as others costing half as much
more,” “I make my reputation on the foot, not in the
newspaper.”
Furniture and Carpet Department.
More Iron Bedsteads this week. Examine them, is
all we ask. Be sure you get the right kind of Refrig
erator with perfect draft. Do not fail to see our Side
boards; then try to match ihem for the money within
twenty miles of Rising Sun. Another order gone off
for one dozen Extension Tables. Stands, Suits, Chairs
and Rockers.
Truly,
E. R. BUFFINGTON & SONS.
'RISING SUN PHARMACY.
We are now prepared to meet the
demands of the season.
For that tired feeling we have a fresh supply of Spring Tonics
and Spring Sarsaparillas—in fact, a full line of Drugs of all kinds.
Also a large stock of Toilet Articles and Perfumery. Our supply
