Eves tho' wo have the host and hrfsf out-put of garden "r"l farm products of any town of the same size in Hie State yet we are far from perfect both as to quality ami intensive in-tensive farming. We may still see too many weeds and inferior products heing grown. We do not see the fu II possibilities of our rich soil utilili.ed. In our judgement, it were ruiieh belter if our farmers would in mailt eases cut their land up In quarters and oiler, rent free, to some deserving hut poor farmer who has no home but could soon, if some sio'h opportunity as this were given, gather enough money about him to puv yui not only for the laud hut enough more to make a much more profitable income from than had you retained it and Affected to work it besides playing your part towards building up your locality with industrious and thriving citizens. Everyone likes to see a nice well kept farm or garden they are always the precursors to a line home and tie foundation to a prosperous village, city or town. When that intelligent, well balanced colonizer, ISrlgham Young first begun building up this deseret which has so beautifully "blossomed as a rose."' His standing ad rice, and orders If this was not takent was to cultivate the soil, plant trees, plant gardens, plant farms. This is the reason our mining industries in-dustries have only so reeantiy been promulgated, he with far selling eye, rhecked and pre-einptorially stopped siny incipcewt mining or roving spirit that might have been Imminent at any Kline. The result is, Utah stands today to-day as the model State as to conditions con-ditions for permanent prosperity, for cities of beautiful proportion, magnificent grandeur, and beautiful . tillage. - Our .-v lovely Springvlllti utaiids pre-cuiinsntly in tho van with, any of Utah's prosperous cities and ouly because her pioneers and their enterprising successors were Imbued with this grand idea that permanent prosperity lays prlmarilly in the cultivation culti-vation of th soil; but, as before intimated, in-timated, there arc still many people who are property poor, who have taken up so much laryl that they are too poor to take car of it. They maintain barren acres, grow weeds or inferior products. Some will answer, "1 took this up for my boys". All right; but, all the name your boys will be better men If you would let them take up theirown land, shift for themselves. In any case, if this land had been let out to some less fortunate farmer who has no juch parcel of land, but hr.s cultivated culti-vated your land, the donation to your boys is so much more enhanced, and mine cases out of ten you have a permanent per-manent citizen who has been enabled, by your generosity, to buy himself a home near by and thus become one of your neighbors and citizens. Look around, fellow citizens, see if you cannot offer some poor person an cre or small section of your land for say five years rent free, provided he will work it and pay the taxes. Then let us turn in on the balance and make it produce just twice as much by our own centralized attention to it. Let's dispenso with our weeds and inferior fruit or agricultural products. pro-ducts. A fine quality strawberry bed is no more trouble to attend than an inferior; poor or badly assorted potatoes pota-toes require just as much attention as the best. Well budded and cultured fruit trees do not require any more trimming and care than Inferior ones and thus wc may go on through the farm from the lucerne crop to the roost valuable, the bees, chickens, pigs, cows, horses, etc., none of which in the aggregate require any more labor for their care and cultivation than the best that can be had and the pride and pleasure, to say nothing of the profit derived will be ample re-ward re-ward for the farmer who feeds all." SILVER. The consolidation of the Silver forces seems to be developing, while the dissolution of the gold element goes merrily on and the disintegration of party ties as well as lines are fast being obliterated by the storm of Silver sentiment set in motion by the Chicago convention. That any newspaper or citizen" should be called partisan who advocates Silver Is beyond be-yond our ken, and when peoDle or newspaper- charge partisanship, It eeois to us an evidence of narrow mi .ldeduess and bigotry. There ought to he no question of the necessity for a revisal of financial management nd if any briri.-li or pditKil economy that appeals to a Utah and her people the most direct it is the rehabill-ment rehabill-ment of Silver, every man, women and almost child has been forced of a necessity into a stu ly of this department, depart-ment, of political economy of national rtnatieps hence there ought to be no fault discovered with any ardent advocate of Silver I. e. Pryan and Sewall. If a person feels like making silver secondary in his political training or ideas of political economy he ought not to set himself up as a demagogue, criticizing Ids fellowmen or trying to throw a ban on his old associates. The Independent is for Silver and does not concede that it exhibits partisanship par-tisanship or democratic zeal. We are of the opinion that iiryati nor any democrat will now, or at anytime within the next four years have any t iiuc or occasion to foist any measures but financial on the count ly. We are on the eve of too serious a time for anything but wise, levelheaded work: work for the maiutaiuance of peace. Tin; time for longer dallying ,.ith Wall Street ami her horde of patriotic (y citizens is past, and when the gauntlet is really thrown down we I noli for retaliatory measures on their part that will require men who shall be bravely honest and not subject to their briberies, legislators who wjll exercise wisdom and conservative action, ofllcers whose integrity shall be as solid as the rocks of Gibralter. How can all this best tie obtained' Ity a unity of action. Let us strive to so unite our best men of all parties that when our gallant head, who has all these qualities, is fairly installed, in-stalled, he may have an opportunity of selecting for his cabinet and other positions the (lowers of our land. You may be sure they will be selected select-ed with the qualifications of national acquaintanceship in all branches of political economy, with Silver as the overtowering desideratum of all. Chauncey M. Depew a New York capitalist, has thrown out tho following follow-ing threat, w hich ought to be enough for warriors to gird up their loins for the greatest HnancliU revolution that the. world ever saw. Ity a firm and united stand we may be enabled to at least force a compromise, for if these modern Samsons do pull down the temple, they at least realize they will kill themselves, and by taking the giants boldly, fearlessly and honestly wo may play the role of Delialia and shear enough locks to save the country coun-try from financial destruction. Depew 6ays: Fifty men of those United Slates have it in their power, by reason of the wealth which they control, con-trol, to come, together within the next twenty-four hours ami arrive atari understanding by which every wheel of trade and commerce may be skipped skip-ped from revolving, every avenue of Hade blocked and electric kev struck dumb. These lifty men can paralyze the whole country, for they control the circulation of the currency and can create a panic whenever they will. Tiik Strawberry and Raspberry crops in Spriugvllle are more than double this year, so Mr.Uoylanee tells us. Mr. Itoliertson our Sugar lieet man says the crop of beets this year will be in excess of last year, and that was far ahead of any previous year, greater than any like area iu the county (except Lehl). Crops iu cereals are in better shape at Snringville and Mapleton than any other part of the State, as nature In its desire to protect us, as usual, gave us the much needed rail but reserved the calamitous calam-itous cyclones., hurricanes, iloods, thunderbolts etc. for other less favored fav-ored loealites. Our enterprising Deal Itros.vt Mendenhall are employing employ-ing all our surplus labor In their grading grad-ing contract at Sevier and in Provo canyon, besides a hundred other things are going on to stimulate the most dormant of hopes that a season of prosperity Is at hand and arouse the pride of the very dullest of compre-hensionatul compre-hensionatul unpatriotic of citizens, all in all the citizens of Springville should bo a grateful set of chaps for this plentiful evidence 'of prosperity and good times coming. Some of our friends of popullstle tendencies have found fault with our alleged attitude towards them as a party. We regret that we cannot speak more encouragingly to our honest, but somewhat Insignificant organization. We have always maintained main-tained that work within the parties Is the only kind that is effective. This has been proven time and lime again. One of the best evidences of all might be referred to, if, as some of our enthusiastic friends would have us believe viz., that Bryan is a populist, and his platform theirs In to to. He maintained bis stand and the party worked Incessantly to promulgate his views, as did all those noble workers for silver. We ask our friends in all candor could he, as a populist, have worked this mlracale? Could any of fraiuersof that platform? Undoubt- I . n i .wtMn (goo 4aJ sJ m lauds Is essential to health.

They have done their share towards forcing Silver on the Democrats but f r them to claim I he l-I did it" and that the great Democratic Dem-ocratic parly has come in, theirs is, to say the least, presumptuous.
