Editor Democrat:
I noticed a statement by a
correspondent, referring to the
exception clause and public
strengthening act, or in other
words the legislation in the in-
terest of the bondholders from
1802 to 1800.
When he says the strength-
ening act, (so-called) made the
bondholders fifty cents worth
*1.00 and the soldier's $1.00
worth fiO cents. He does not go
nto details, and describe one-
half the vicious legislation of
congress from '02 to '7.r). Sena-
tor Beck said the bondholders
had up to 1807 received one
thousand million dollars profit
before they got the principal of
their bonds, made payable in
gold. It can bo shown by the
treasurer's report from year to
year, giving the amount of
bonds sold each year, and the
premium on gold from '02 to '91,
that the purchase of the bonds
with paper money, at its face
value, and the purchase of the
paper at the discounts, gave t
profit to the bondholders as fol
lows:

to the bondholders In 1807.
The first scheme was to crip-
ple the greenbacks with the ex
ception clause; get up a corner
on gold, have the greenbacks
burned, and the bonds payable
in gold, and force the people to
go to the national banks to get
to do their business
with ; which Jefferson said he
believed was "more dangerous
thau standing armies." At an
other time he said, "the bank
is one of the jpost deadly hos-
tility exhistlng against the
principles and form of our con-
stitution. Jackson said, "the
question is distinctly presented,
whether the people of the Uni-
ted States are to be governed
through representatives, chosen
by their unbiased suffrages, or
whether the power of a great
corporation are to be secretly
exerted to iutluence their judg
ment and controll their decis-
ions. It must now be deter-
mined whether the banks are to
have their candidates for all
the offices in the country, from
the highest to the lowest, or
whether candidates on both
sides of political questions
shall be brought forward, as
heretofore, 2nd supported by
the usual means," Benton,
United States senator said, "the
president of the banks and the
president of the United States
would elect each other." This
is eljotigh, I could give the
statements of all of the foun-
ders of our party, but this is
sufficient to show that this
gang of government hangers on
are sucking the life out of the
nation and mocking at the suf-
fering of its victims, who sers
at defiance laws which they do
not approve. It is a national
organization with ramifications
everywhere. For over a quar-
ter of a century they have con-
trolled congress, but we are de-
termined that they shall not
controll it much longer. They

young ladies and gentlemen,
during the "set backs" discuss-

We learned from Master

to be soot burning in a flue.
Farm work is progressing
rapidly in and around Prairie

learned by interviewing several
farmers that only about one-

be planted this season, as com-
pared with last season.
The farmer's institute, which
will convene at Prairie Grove
on next Friday, is creating con
siderable interest, and a good
attendance is anticipated.
We hope to hear often from
the good people of Prairie

reported the following, which
was adopted:
Whereas, it has come to our

annonymous notices and letters
addressed to one Ford, a re

harm, and
Whereas, such practices are
antagonistic to law and or-
der, be it resolved:
1 That we condemn in the
most unmeasured terms the act
of the authors aud denouuee
them as enemies of the public.
2. That we pledge ourselves
to do everything in our power
to ferret out the perpetrators
aud deliver them to the author

3. That a subscription list be
opened for the purpose of rais-
ing a fund to secure the detec-
tion and punishment of the pei •

Editor Democrat: .
We are having cold blizzards
and have had for the last three
weeks, and as for health In our
country It is pretty bad, owing
to a common plague of la grippe
which proves fatal In many
cases. Lots of people have
died with the disease. The
prospect is good for more hard
winter. Stock looks as though
they were being dried with the
hide on them. Much is said
about a decrease of 20 per cent,
in the acreage of cotton, and al-
so 20 per cent increase of oattle
and I think also a decrease in
farmers of about 20 per cent
would help them folly as much
as a decrease in cotton and
an increase in stock; what
we want is increase in bankers,
lawyers, doctors, merchants
and manufacturers in all kinds
of implements made by the va-
rious different trades. We
want to make mechanics out of
farmers, so as to take about
one-fifth of the farmers out of
the farm and make mechanics
out of them, and by that means

There is no baking powder
which produces such sweet and
tasteful food as the Royal Bak
ing Powder. One of the great-
est of the claims of the manu-
factures of this powder is that
it leavens withont fermentation
or decomposition, and that the
exact equivalents of its consti-
tuents are used, whereby a per
fectly neutral results is obtain
ed, which invariably guaran-
tee that particnlar and pecnlar
flavor in bread so much desired
and appreciated by all. In
fact, the oldest patrons of this
powder declare that they get
not only a superlative lightness
of the bread, but that the bis-
cuit, cakes muffins, ect., never
taste quite so sweet or so good
as when they are raised by the
Royal Bakiug Powder. This
comes from its perfectly uni-
form combination of the beit
and purest materials, as has
been shown to be true by the
recent examinations made both
the United fitatos and the Ca-
nadian governments, which re-
veal the fact beyond a question
that theRoyal Baking Powder
is the most scientflcally com-
pounded of any in the market,
The Royal gives a delicious
flavor tj the bread,
The|San,Francisco Board of
Health gives valuable advice
as to the most wholesome bak-
ing powder. The following re-
port is published over the sig-
nature of all the physicians of
the Board,
"We, the members of the
Board of Health of the city and
county of San Francisco, cor-
dially approve and recommend
the Royal Baking Powder. It
Is absolutely pure and health
ful, composed of the best In-
grodients, of the highest
strength and charaoter.
"In our judgment, it is im-
possible to make a purer or
stronger baking powder than
thsHoyal."

A Hokk Killing Time.
Anna. Tex., Feb. 24. '91.
Editor Demoornt:
The following is an extract
verbatim from Gov. (Hunater
gin) Hoggs speech at Rusk,
Texas, April 19,1890. "With-
in a few years, unless some-
thing is done, most of the i
wealth and talent of onr coun- j
try will be on one side, while
arrayed upon the other will be
the great mass of the people,
composing the bone aud sinew
of this government. The pic-
ture is not overdrawn.
We are fast drifting into that
situation. When that day
oomes it will strain the patriot-
ism of iho remainder of the peo-
ple, who are left upon one side,
and the ability, talent and
capital of those on the other,
to keep down tho mob, to re-
strain the commune or to sup-
press the anarchist. The com
name threatens us, but it is the
legitimate child and offspring
of the cormorant."
R<;ad well, and consider upon
what Issues Gov. Hogg, was
elected, then ponder well the
acts of the governor, since his
eieotlon. Point out if you can,
the something he has done or
oaused to be done; if you can-
not find anything he has done,
or oaused or recommended to
be done ; then to take his own
words as proof, we are in a bad
condition and standing close
upon the brink of an awful
period, such as modern times
has never witnessed. He says:
"the picture is not overdrawn,"
when he said ; "arrayed on the
one side, will be the wealth,
talent and ability,upon the oth-
er, the great mass of the people

ism of the government, in shoi4,
