The LaGrange Journal sajs:
"There seems to be an impression
among (be Germans and Bohemians
in this county that the United
' States bonds are payable in gold
-only, wben it is expressed on the
face of them that they are redeem
able in coin, which means gold and
isilver. But for this erroneous im
pressioo, many of these honest
farmers would be for free silver
coinage."

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
The policy of the republicans on
the money question, which ie now
regarded as tbe leading issue in tbe
presidential canvass, bas been as
fluctuating for tbe past thirty days
as tbe exigencies of a party anxious
only for spoils or a candidate who,
facing both ways, would give his
soul to be president. At the be-
ginning the McKiniey managers
deemed it of vital importance to
save Ohio, and the only way to do
that was by a straddle. According-
ly a straddle was well understood
to have boen drafted in the fine
Italian hand of Mr. McKiniey him-
self. It not only avoided a rupture
for the time being in Ohio, but also
helped tbe McKiniey managers to
pick up a big lot of delegates in tbe
West which they then badly needed
and which never could have been
obtained if the Ohio platform had
been outspoken for gold. Even
California and Oregon were capture
ed for the many-sided Ohio states-
man.
As McKiniey forged ahead of bis
rivals under their brilliant tactics of
mum and duplex attachments bis
opponents in the East began to
raise a fierce cry that tbe party plat-
form must declare for gold flat foot-
ed. New York led and inspired by
Piatt, Massachusetts by Reed and a
number of other Eastern states,
jumped on the straddlers, denounced
tbem roundly and raised aloft tbe
gold flag. It seemed for awhile that
the gold sentiment among republi
cans was the stronger of the two,
and that McKiniey would have to
buy off tbe opposition to hit nomi
nation by swallowing, with the best
grace possible for an old free coin-
age man, an emphatic declaration
for the gold standard. The tariff
racket was to be played for all it
was worth, and if the democrats
should also come out for gold and
endorse Cleveland tbe republican
road to the White House would be
straight and smooth enough.
But the democrats, with obarac
teristic obstinacy, refused to comply
with these demands. Tbe masses
revolted, crying, ''Give us more
money and less misery." State
after state deolared for silver and
sent silver delegates to Chicsgo.
Tbe fight was hot, tbe issue plain,
tbe victory assured more and more
at every step. It wis a fight—an
uprising of the people against the
forces of corruption and Wall street,
The fight soon developed into a rev-
olution, and is now almost a cyclone,
As it went on the honest free silver
republicans began to feel that it was
a fight for tbem or their interests as
well as for all honest people. They
showed unmistakable signs of sym
pathy, and a disposition to subordi-
nate everything to tbe money ques'1
tion.
These developments created con
sternation in the ranks of tbe repub
beans, wbo now fully realize that
they will have no walk-over in No
vember, but with the Chicago con
volition declaring for free silver and
free coinage the chances are against
tbem, and that they cannot not hold
their followers.
There are among tbem many men
of many minds. One class says
stick to tbe gold standard, no mat.
ter what it costs. Another class are
looking with mortal terror and
dread to the manly stand of Henry
M. Teller, and tbe withdrawal of
bim and his friends if tbe convention
shall either declare outright for
gold, or employ words of treachery,
falsehood and deceit intended to
deceive voters. It is conceded that
this is a bad year for straddles 1 the
demand of the voters Ufor a square,
open issue on the money ques-
tion. Stil\ tbe difflsulties of
tbe situation are so great that many
of tbe Republican politicians, ins
eluding the especial friends of Mc-
Kiniey, are now inclining to the
straddle as the only way of dealing
with the question—that tbe word
''gold" is to be scrupulously avoided
in the platform and that free coinage
at 16 to 1 is <0 be deprecated, but
fine phrases are to be employed and
well buttered, which will allow both
tbe silver and gold Republicas to
insist, one in the East and tbe other
the West, and McKiniey is all
ri«?ht and the platform on their side.
The resorting to theso dodging
tactics but serves to convince the
people of the country that the re-
publicans are no longer sure of a
victory. Their enthusiasm has van-
ished. Anxiety bas succeeded arro-
gance and boasting. It is tbe silver
Democrats who are now confident
and aggressive, wbo know that they
will carry everything at Chicago,
wbo intend to meet the money issue
clearly and boldly, who know that
the masses are with tbem, and wbo
fully expect to elect a President in
November next by an overwhelming
majority, and to restore free silver
and prosperity to the people.
r«*MINO ON THB PLAINS.
Several years ago, says the Texaa
Stock Journal, wben tbo boom was
on in Texas, when the seasons were
favorable for a time, and when
money was plentiful that part of
Texas, known as the Panhandle, was
flooded with settlers ; farmers from
East Texas moved there and began
fencing the land and breaking tbe
soil. Crops were plentiful, and for
a time all went well and the people
thought a farmers' paradise bad
been discovered in a country where
before most people supposed only
arid desert existed.
So great was tbe encouragement
at first received by farmers to settle
in that country that many others
were easily induced to join them and
as a result a vast country, where
wire fencer, settlements and farms
had before been unknown, were
fenced almost entirely; the surface
of the earth was broken with plows,
the prairies were dotted with houses,
and new made farms with a little
hamlet here and there. All felt se-
cure and felt their success assured.
But tbe illusion was doomed to be
destroyed aud Nature was to be the
destroyer. Nature could not give
this oountry tbe seasons essential
to make farming a success in saoh a
dry country and now many of tbe
fences and houses are gone, tbe
farms are abandoned, and the people
who settled tbe country are gone
with them.
And still there can be said to be
nothing woaderful or strange that
a oountry of this kind should be*
come depopulated even more quick-
ly than it was populated. Farmers
oannot make a living on the plains
of Texas by means of farms one
year in eight or ten, aod nearly all
those people who went there oonfi
dent of sucoess have come away
bankrupt and, in fact, many of them,
have become so badly bankrupt that
getting away is as impossible for
them as crop raising.
The plains of Texas cannot be
apytbiog but a cattle raising coun
try until regular rains can be de-
pended upon. A partial crop of
milo^maiz?, kaffer corn and sorghum
can be raised every year, but no one
bas as yet been able to make a com
petence even out of these so-called
sure crops.
With an exceptionally well located
farm, a good pasture in connection
and pome cattle, horses, sheep or
bogs, or some of all cf tbem, a good
independent living can be madn by
combining the business into stock
and feed farming. But farming it-
self cannot be a success on tho
plains.
