Va AANS
they have printed tickets correspond
ing to all denominations of money, ard
whoever makes a purchase pays the
cash and gets a ticket or tickets show
ing the amount purchased. THESE
tickets are given both to members and
to outside buyers, as the stores are
open to the custom Of all, whether
they are members or not. The tick
cts are all kept till the end Of each
quarter.
At the end of every three months
they take an inventory of the stock
and find out how much clear profit
above all expenses has been made.
Out of this a per cent. is set aside as a
sinking fund. Then a reasonable div
idend is paid on the stock, say n and
a half per cent. for the three months,
or at the rate of six per cent. a year.
All the balance is then returned to the
holders of the tickets. But this dis
tinction is made between members and
outsiders, the rate of dividend on pur-
chases paid to members is twice as
much as that paid to outsiders. Thus,
supposing a member to have bought
500 worth of goods during the three
months and an outsider the same
amount, if the rate of dividend on
purchases is 10 per cent. the member
would get $40 dividend, while the
outsider would get SIS. By this ar
rangement the members not only
make the profits on the goods they
buy themselves and a portion of the
profits made on the goods sold to out
siders, but also interest on their cap
ital stock.
This plan has some very desirable
features. 1t fosters that most desira-
BILE habit of buying always for cash.
| 1t also cultivates the habit Of saving,
since most members of such associa-
tons invest their savings in the stock
of the association until they get all
they are allowed to hold.
The only question for members of
| Oranges, Wheels and Alliances, or
any other farmer. Is this plan feas-
ible in the country? We think it is.
Nc where else in the world is there so
much needed some sort of strong
stimulus to people to do business on a
cash basis. No where else is so much
needed a realization of the "pay as
you CO. principle. Credit is ruinous
and the farmer especially, who is able
to grow all his own supplies and has
no occasion to walk the streets every
day and disport himself in fine clothes
because he sees others doing it, ought
to be able to get along without get.
ting credit. For these reasons this
plan ought to be extremely practica.
BILE in the country and we believe in a
little while it would result in all hav-
ing money.
1t is we'll worth a trial, and it need
not be confined merely to the buying
and selling of supplies. The Roch.
dale Association in England has an
enormous wholesale house hat does a
business of thirty or forty millions a
year, which sells goods to all the re.
tail branches, and it has also gone
largely into manufacturing. The
farmers of America, if they will put
their shoulders to the wheel, can do
as much. 1t is worth while to make
a beginning even though it is a very
| small one.-S. LOUIS Journal of Aqrs-

TARIFF RFORM THE BATTLE CRY.
The Campaign to be a Straightfor-
ward and Aggressive One.

ward and Aggressive One.
WASHINGTON, June 28.-The President,
in an interview which Chairman Barnum
of the democratic national committee had
with him this morning, expressed, it is un-
derstood, emphatically, his desire that the
campaign should be straight forward and
aggressive one, and that tariff reform, as ex-
pounded in the st. Louis platform, shou Id
be made the main issue. The President
will see that this course is followed, SO that
such a change of front as the tariff question
which embarrassed and defeated the demo-
cratic party IN 1880 will be impossible. The
national executive campaign committee, un-
der the direction of the President will begin
active operations next week. 1t will be
specially charged with missionary work on
the tariff question first 1t will send out
COPIES of the Presidents message and of the
tariff reform speeches in congress to all
state committees, and will see that the state
committees reach all democratic editors and
orators,
The President is believer in the posi-
bilities Of tariff education. He wants to
see every voter reached with instruction on
the tariff question before the summer is
over
Chairman Barnum will appoint an execu-
tive campaign committee, which will carry
out the Presidents ideas in the campaign.
William l.. Scott will be member of it,
and possibly its chairman.

TATE'S EMBEzzLEMENT.
The Amount of His Shortage Placed
at S4O4,O86 SO.

LOUISVILLE, June 2S-The grand jury
of Franklin circuit court returned four in
dictments against James w. Tate, late
state treasurer, for embezzlement The
total amount set out In the indictments is
s404, ,085 S5, dating from Jan. l, 1878, to
Jan. /, 1886, leaving the period between
1886 and the time of Tate's flight unrro-
vided for. The commonwealth attorney
says no true bill could be found against
Tate for forgery in the erasure OF the
amounts in his bank pass book, that the
bank book was his private property, and
only a memorandum book; and that while
the erasure was made to perpetrate fraud
on the Investigating officers, still it cannot
now be called forgery.
NOT AN ExTRADITABLE CRIME
Enbezzlement Is not an extraditable
crime, and as 1t is now known that the
family of Tate are in communication with
him, it is supposed they will soon entertain
no fear Of making his whereabouts public.
The court fixed the bail at $4,000 The
statutes provide imprisonment in the pcni-
tentiary for one to ten years for embezzle-
ment, but it is hardly possible that the
fugitive viii ever return to the state to be
brought to trial. Tho civil suits by the
common wealth against the sureties against
the bonds are again before tue court on an
amended petition, but no trial can be
reached until next October.

"wE MUST BEAT SHERMAN"
Blaine Rather Than Alger's Money
Caused His Defeat.

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator Sher-
man was shown to-day published state
ment that he accused Alger Of causing his
defeat at Chicago by buying the votes Of
Senator Sherman's delegation. He said
II have, of course, no personal knowledge Of
the charges made against Alger. | was not at
Chicago, but have been informed by hon
orable men that the charges were
true II they are, they certainly
tarnish Alger's reputation" There can be
little doubt that Sherman believed the
charges against Alger, and equal doubt
that he will do nothing publicly about
them. Sherman now realizes that he will
probably never be President. He will
never make formal canvass for the nomi-
nation again. He understands that 1t was
Baiue's influence rather than Alger's
money that prevented his nomination. He
had heard of the last order that the Blaine
managers sent around on Monday morn
ing with the information that Blaine was
ont TO the b aine men in the different dele
pations; "We must beat Sherman" He
knows that the Blaine influence will be
strong in 1892, when Alger's pocketbook
will be forgotten, and 80 Ec quietly accepts
the inevitable. He viii probably remain
in the senate as long as be lives. friend
Of his said today that should Harrison bo
elected and should he offer Sherman the
secretaryship of the treasury, Sherman
would not accept If Blaine was to be mem
Der Of the cabinet, as it is generally ex-
pected he would be.
