"GOD BLESS YOUI"
Tho phrase Is trite; tho insincere
And heartless glibly uso It,
And often hypocrites austere
To aid their projects choose it;
But when 'tis spoken from tho heart,
Whllo griefs and cares oppress you.
The sun appears, the clouds depart
That common phrase, God bless you!
Life often is a dreary road.
Where thorns aud briers beset you,
And while you stagger 'neath your load
Small troubles sting and fret ou.
It lights tho eye and dries tho tear.
When all those Ills distress you.
If from a friendly voice you hear
Tho common phraso, God bless yon!
And often when tho heart would speak
Its Impulse sweet and tender.
And other words nro all too weak
Its meaning deep to render,
Or gratitude, a medium seeks
In which It would address yon,
Then In tho phraso a volume speaks
The common phrase, God bless you!

llltlTIStl GOLD IN AMKIUOAN l'Ot.l-
TICS.
Oblckasaw Messenger Okolona, M Iss.
Tho lutlueuco of British gold in
tho affairs of men and nations has
long been n subject of remark and
study,buttho average American citi
zen scarcely allows himself to think,
whllo reading of somo wonderful
conquest, which English capital haa
made, that this country can over be
eilected thereby, and ho seems per
fectly oblivious to thonlarmlug fucts
that surround him. It was tho
Shylock of Lombard street, Lou
don, who first suggested a bonded
war debt. Ho depreciated green
backs bol;v gold; ho in company
with his Wnll street cousins then
bought greenbacks with gold nt
from 47 to GO cents on thodollar,nud
immediately re-luvestcd tho depre
ciated greenbacks in Uultcd titntes
bonds dollar for dollar. These bond
were mado payable In legal tender
notes (greenbacks) Interest aud prin
cipal. Tho money sharks, not con
tent with tho protlt made in buying
greenbacks at a discount, and not
content with their success in trans
forming non-interest bearing notes
Into interest bearing bonds, sol
themselves to work to change tho
contract as set forth In tho fuco of
tho bonds themselves, nnd they act
ually succeeded in inducing the so
culled representatives of tho people
in congress to pass an act making
theso very bonds purchased with
depreciated greenback payable prin
cipal and interest in coin. Aud it
litis been freely charged, and the
charge is backed by much direct and
clocumstantlal proof, that somo of
tho money of n London Jew went
to pay American statesman for thN
service. Not content with Ills suc
cess in doubling his wealth, while
nt the same tinio ho doubled tho
burden on our agriculturists and la
borers, the Lombard street bauker
scores another triumph over Ameri
can productive labor and In favor of
shrewd financial policy by sending
his agent to this country with half a
million in his pocket with Instruc
tions tq secure the deiunnitization of
silver and thus establish his bonds
on a gold basis. This seeheme, belt
told to our sknme, succeeded, and
although it is said thero Is not, nor
never was a United States bond cold
by the government for gold, every
ono held by a broker or money
cuangor in nny part of tho world hns
to bo paid in gold, Tho British finan
ciers have not stopped hero either.

have our country flooded with mort

must ero long overthrow thu liberty

Rcy&l
a ykaii or rnospimiTY.
S. F. Chrenicle: That tho present
year will bo notnbloas one of unpre
cedented prosperity for the farmers
of this country appears to bo an as
sured fact. Close estimates nro now
possible of tho nmouut of tho lead
ing crops of cereals nnd other pro
ducts, whllo the condition of the
marked points to tho assurance that
prices will certainly romnln nt n
point considerably higher than has
been reached for somo years, with n
possibility of taking n flight far bo
yond presout conservative belief.
Against a norn crop last year of
about 1,600,000,000 bushels thero Is
abundant promise of fully 2,000,000
000 bushels for tho present season.
Tho wheat crop of 1890 fell a little
short of-100,000,000 bushols.whilo 1891
It will certainly reach 500,000,000.
Last year tho crop of oats was C23,
000,000 bushels; this year a round
hundred million will bo added, tho
total being estimated at 053,000,000
bushels. Upon the basis of theso
figures it will bo seen that tho crops
of tho three lending cereals show an
incrcaso of 28 8 per cent." over 1890
and 14.7 per cent, nbovo tho average
for the past eleven yenrs.
In 1890 wheat averaged a fraction
over83conts a bushel, but already
this season tho limit of $1 a bushel
has been passed. Estimating tho
average price ntthat rate, the wheat
crop alone will glvo tho farmers a
total of $500,000,000. Tho corn crop
of 1800 averaged a littlo more thau
CO cents a bushol in value. Allow
ing for no Incrcaso In prico this
would add $1,000,000,000 to tho vnl
uo of tho cereal crop. On tho basts
of last year's prices for oats that
crop would yield a total of ?260,000,
000. Tho Increased value of tho
crops of tho threo leading coroals
would thereforo exceed by f 150,000,
000 that for 1890, and Is ?050,000,000
nioro than tho nvcrago for tho past
eleven years.
Cotton, rice, tobacco, hops and
other stable crops Hhow tho same
tendency toward an Increased yield,
accompanied by higher prices, and
Is therefore no unfounded claim that
tho farmers of tho United States
will pocket a round $1,000,000,000
more than any year during the re
cent period of depressed prices.
Although tho assured prosperity
of tho American farmer oxposes tho
fallacy of many a pot theory of tho
enemies of protection, no ono will
bo so churlish as to refrain from con
gratulating tho agriculturist upon
his prosperity. Tho Immonso
amount of money that will bo put
Into tho farmers' hands this year
will go far toward reducing tho
mortgage debt over which somo un
happy politicians havo mourned
wish sucli pertinacity, and its cir
culation will stimulate every lino of
business, except perhaps tho manu
facture of freo trade "arguments,"
That Industry hns recolved a
staggering blow by the return of
prosperity to tho farmers, who, not
unnaturally, pcrhnps, hud been led
to aaorlbo tho lack of prosperity to
matters whloh aro now shown to
havo had nothing to do with caus
ing tho depression that Is now hap
pily at au end.
LITKHARY NOTES.
A now story, "Tho Moon Prlnco,"
by H. If. Munklttrick, was begun
in Harper's Young Peoplo for
August 11th. It Is written In tho
stylo of "Allco in Wonderlund,"
and Judging from tho chapters
which havo already appeared, It Is
by far tho best story which Mr.
Munklttrick hus yet written. A
number of droll rhymes and a series
of appropriate Illustrations by Ver
beck add to Its attractiveness,
Charles Dudley Warner has col
lected and arranged a scoro or more
of those delightful short catnys

KAISKIt AND OAPIUVI.
Bnnr.iN, Aug. 21. Thero nro
strong rumours afloat of Caprivl's
approaching resignation. Tho
chancellor has for somo tlmo post
been ou formal terms with tho
kaiser, owing to his disapproval of
measures that tho kalsor approved,
aud it Is said that tho kaiser is will
ing that Caprivl should go, but
does not wish to drive him away.
Tho kaiser Is gradually reducing tho
ofllco of chancellor to less Impor
tance, It being his purpose to have
Prlucolloury his chlof representa
tive, and to havo tho prince attend
to somo of tho more Important func
tions now discharged by tho chan
cellor. It is claimed in behalf of
of this chnngo that Prlnco Bis
marck, when chancellor, exagger
ated tho olllce and arrogated duties
that belonged to royalty. Tho In
terview betwecu tho kaiser and
Caprivl on Wednesday is said to
havo beeu nttcuded by uutisual
warmth, although Caprivl immedi
ately afterwards went about tho
business of tho empire as If nothing
had occurred.

through a United States senator,
that they could not bo received.
Subsequently, however, the fortunes
of tho Insurgents Improved and It is
hollovod that tho reports of Minister
Egun's conduct will cause Secretary
Blaluo to rovlso his polloy toward

favor of Bulmaceda, talking openly
against tho constitutional govern

tho agents of thu constitutional gov
