THE Monroe Sentinel having
charged that the Democrats in this
state are in the habit of helping to
pay the campaign expenses of the
Prohibition party, Its statement was
called in question by correspon-
dent. Whereupon it says:
| One Of the leading Democrats, in fact the
leading Democrat Of Green county. one who
was Instrumental in ousting Mr.. Lemmel from
the Albany postoolee, spent some time and
money in the campaign of 1884, assisting the
Prohibition campmeetings held by one Els
worth and Carle, If he can be believed upon
his word. Col. Ellsworth told us, while he was
in the county working up Prohibition, that he
received more help from Democrats than he
did from Prohibitionists We have some other
evidence. We refer you TO the Democratic
state committee books in Madison during the
campaign of 1884, in which several hundred
dollars was transferred from that committee
to Mr.. Ons committee in the interest of Burr
Jones. 1t is said that the third party paper
was printed by the Madison Democrat Office
gratis. 1t costs money to print a newspaper

name we win not give now, as it was a CONT
dental matter, and was told US after the cam

headquarters when the result of the presiden-

days after the election, when member Of the

At the old time concert for the ben
eft Of the Sabbath School Library at
Dexterville, last Thursday evening,
about $29 was realized. The pieces

many good points which the audience
appreciated with frequent applause.
Mr.. Germonds solo, "John Brown"

the undertaking. All the delegations

THE Democratic governor of
Pennsylvania is about to try the
virtue of the law against the COM
bination of powerful corporations
in that slate that have in defiance
of law taken the anthracite coal
business into its own hands, and is
known as the "anthraeIte poo"
composed of eight companies, the
values of whose property is put at
1864, 100000, or an aggregate wealth
in railroads, canals, and coal mines
equal TO the total taxable wealth
of Kansas, Nebraska, Arkansas,
Minnesota and Colorado. 1t con-
trolls all the ansthracite coal mines
in Pennsylvania and also the rail
ways and canals leading from thcm,
and it makes Its own price for
coal. Under the law the corpora
tons are conspirators against
the public peace and well
fare in combining TO put down
competition and advance the price
of a necessity OF lrfO. It will be a
great victory for the people If the
combination is broken up.

FACTORIES.

Washington county now boasts
of a County Farmers Alliance.
The right OF farmers or any other
class of people to organize for mu-
tual benefit is undisputed. The
BANNER has no war to make on
the alliance simply as an organlza-
ton for the mutual benefit and
protection of the farmer. The
farmers should not lose sight of
the fact that it takes all classes of
people to make up community
and that where all work in har-
mony all are mutually benefited.
If farmers would take some steps
toward establishing cotton and
other factories at homo they
would do much more toward dc
veloping the country than by ship
ping their cotton to New England
cotton mills and buying wagons of
northern make. The true policy
is to. try all legitimate means to
keep the money at home. Suppose
than Brennan had population of
five or six thousand persons en-
ployed in manufacturing indus
tries, these wage workers would
act IN the double capacity of pro-
ducers and consumers. A work
ing population of that character
would make home market for all
kinds of country produce and en-
able everybody, in measure, to
live at home. Times have changed
very materially from what they
were a quarter of a century ago (;
peoples wants increase as their
circumstances enable them to graft
fly the same. Prosperity is not
confined TO the few, in prosperous
times all classes of people are
equally prosperous. Labor of all
kinds is in demand and good wages
are paid.

BUSINESS REVIVAL.

From every great business CEN
ter in the Union, says the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, comes the cheering
news of a healthy, vigorous and
constantly increasing revival in
business; one which has about it
all the features which Indicate per-
manence. 1t is sad that such con-
dition of affairs should be brought
about under democratic admins
tration, but the facts are too beau
tifully PLAIN to be overlooked.
Upon the welfare of our agricul-
tural interests more than any thing
else depends the business prosper
ty of this country. All other in
dustries take their tone, whether of
brlskness or depression, from it.
1t is here that the revival of this
year took Its first start. Our crops
have been unusually good. The
wheat yield is about 43O, 100000 of
bushels, and the corn yield not less
than l,OOO,OOO,OOO. Bad crops
abroad have increased our mark
cts. In August, the last month of
which complete returns are in, our
exports of breadstuffs were nearly
double In value those OF the same
month last year, and September is
expected to show still greater in
crease. This tells the whole story.
All other things follow in the same
path. The railroads show q mark
ed increase in net earnings. Iron
has advanced, and mills long idle
are busily at work, pressed with
orders. There is decided advance
in coal, snd the miners are busy.
In fact business IN all departments
of trade seems to be experiencing
an awkeIring activity, which should
be made the most of by our people.

ST. LOUIS REPUBLICAN,: A new
agent of destruction has been in
vented in France, and the irrepres-
sible and aggressive little French
minister of war believes it will

powers are helplessly drifting and
which all parties believe cannot be
postponed much longer. 1t is a
