COOPERATIVE Insurance In New York.
Fifty-eight cooperative insurance
companies reporting to a committee
of the State Grange of New York
give the following results OF the last
three years. experience:
The number Of policies carried by
these companies At the date Of report
was 35,O32. Average amount in
sured in each policy, 1901. The
aggregate risks Of insurance at date
of report is $66,623,672. The av-
erage amount of insurance carried by
each company is $l,148,6S4, while
the aggregate average amount Of in.
surance carried by all companies for
the last three years is $G2,2l6,CC9.
The total losses and expenses in all
these companies have amounted to
t22l,863 in the three years end
ing December 81, 1887, making the
total cost of insurance on $1,000 for
three years, including all losses and
expenses 1886, or 1.lS per 1000 per
annum, a saving of more than so per
cent. of the cost of insurance in stock
companies.
The following from the same re-
port is worth careful consideration by
the Alliance:
We would further report that, in
our judgment, co operative fire IN
suranee is one of the strongest allies
OF the grange and that it should be
fostered and encouraged by this order
in every possible way. From authen.
tic information received your commit
tees are fully convinced that where.
ever these organizations are confined
to the membership OF our order there
we find the greatest degree Of pros
perity in the grange; and it seems to
be equally true that wherever these
organizations are outside of our order,
there the oranges are languishing and
showing mistakable signs Of final
dissolution.
The Farmers Alliance and Farm
srs' Mutuals have this in common,
that they are both organizations Of
farmers for mutual benefit. The
Alliance can be of very great aid in
extending mutual insurance, and the
insured have learned enough of the
benefits Of cooperation to realize it,

LOOMING UP.

The Hon. William l.. Wilson, the
eloquent Democratic Representative in
Congress from the Second district of
West Virginia. is rapidly taking front
rank as thinker and speaker. His
speech in the House Of Representatives
in favor of the Mills tariff reduction
bill was conceded to be one of the ablest
and most effective delivered on the
Democratic side, and has been adopted
as one of the leading campaign docu-
ments by the Democratic National ex-
ecutive committee. Mr.. Wilson was
one of the speakers at the great Dem
ocratic barbecue at Buckingham Park
near Chicago, Saturday last, and his
speech was conceded by the Chicago
papers and correspondents to have been
the oritorical triumph of the day. His
services were again called into requisi-
ton in Chicago Monday evening, when
two Democratic meetings were held.
One was at Battery ID and the other at
Turner Hall. The arrangement was
that Mr.. Wilson was to speak first at
Battery ID, and Congressman Mills, of
Texas, at Turner Hall, and then they
were to change places. The five thous-
and people who crowded into Battery
ID defeated this scheme, however, by
refusing to let Mr.. Wilson go, When
ever he tried to stop speaking they in
sisted so DANGEROUSLY upon his contin-
uing that there was nothing else to do
His speech was entirely upon the tariff
and lasted about two hours and a-half
Mr.. Mills also had a great audience,
and spoke with fine effect. Mr.. Will
son has been elected to Congress three
times from a district which is pretty
evenly balanced politically, and was
recently unanimously nominated for
reelection. He is member of the
ways and means committee, and one of
the most industrious and influential
members on the Democratic side of the
House. Several years ago Speaker
Carlisle made speech in Charlestown,
w. Va, in which he paid glowing
tribute to Mr.. Wilson's ability and
worth, and predicted for him a career
of great usefulness to his party and
country prediction which is now
being fulfilled. - BALTIC. Sun.
West Virginians, irrespective ofparty
politics, should feel proud of Hon.
VIM. i. Wilson. He is one of the
ablest men of the Nation.

Now let the Democrats trot out Flem-
lug to discuss the issues of the cam
paign with Golf. Then won't they
need their red bandannas, thought
New Era.
Yes, and Golf will find in Brooks
Fleming a foeman worthy of his steel.
Probably Golf would like to take a
shy at the Peerless orator and states
man, Hon. VIM. i. Wilson, on the
tariff issue When Wilson would get
through with the only Golf we fear
there would be nothing left for Brooks
Fleming.
AS the Era seems to favor joint dis
cussion we suggest that our home talent

JAS. G. BLAINE now says that trusts
are State concerns and that the United
States has no right to touch them.
Funny that Brother Blaine would
change his views on Estate Rights. {"
The elective franchise is State con-
Germ too, but Mr.. Blaine's party has
always maintained the right of the
United States to regulate it. We
would like to know the attitude of the
Journal and New Era on this subject
at the present time.

UNITED States Senator George f.
Edmunds says:
Whenever Thurman and | have
joined hands against jay Gould and
monopOlists of the sort in the Senate,
James @. Blaine has invariably started
up from behind Gould's breastworks,
musket in hand"
Is it any wonder that JAS. G. Blaine
says trusts are private affairs with which
Cleveland nor no other private citizen
has any right to interfere. James G.
Blaine has always been the friend of
trusts and monopoly and against the
poor man.

TIE latest returns gives us twenty
one candidates for the clerk of the cir
cult court. The Chairman of the
County Executive Committee has is
sued a call for the committee to meet
on Saturday to select the candidate. If
this program is carried out there will
be war in the camp. We offer as a
suggestion, as a disinterested party,
that the Chairman had better give the
ants convention. Nothing but a
convention will satisfy them. Drs.
Lanham and Powell, Julius Scherr and
the rest of the boys are whetting their

III evidence was wanting that James
Gillespie Blaine has no love for the
Irish people it will be found in the fact
that during his trip to Europe he spent
three days in Ireland as against four
hundred and twenty chiefly in England
and Scotland. He refused to dine with
the Lord Mayor of Dublin for fear it
would offend the snobbery and aristoc-
racy of England. Blaine loves an

ANOTHER FALLAUY EXPLODED

The Austen correspondent of the
New Era writes:
Protection is nowhere needed worse
than in the little town of Austen. Be
fore the tariff agitation commenced, we
were running at our full capacity !;
there were over 100 men employed at
good wages. Now there is not more
than half the number employed, work
ing half time, and at twenty per cent.
less wages than they were getting be-
FORE"
The Austen correspondent is woe
fully ignorant, or he intentionally
writes that which he knows to be false.
1t is well to be accurate about such
things, for truth will prevail. What
are the facts about the Austen coke
works? A few months ago the COM
pany were running at about full capac-
ity, we suppose. A reduction was or
dered. The miners refused to accept
the reduction and the mines closed
down. The result was that the Austen
Coke Works could not close their con-
tracts with the manufacturing firms,
and lost the contracts which kept them
running at full capacity "before the
tariff agitation"
Now when the miners agreed to ac-
cept the Austen Coke Works terms
and return to work, what did the com
paDy exact Of their men Made them
sign an article pledging themselves
that they would not strike and that
they would accept another reduction of
wages if it was found necessary. We
agree with the Austen correspondent
that Protection is nowhere needed
worse than in the little town of Aus
ten"-for the laboringmen. And this
accounts for the workingmen working
for twenty per cent. less wages than
they we're getting before the tariff agi-
tation :" Nowhere in the United
States can be found a more intelligent
and lowabiding set Of miners than in
the town Of Austen, and they deserve
better treatment.
Here is a phase Of the coke bus
mess that the Austen man overlooked
The large syndicate Of cokcmon have
put the price Of coke away down in
order TO freeze OUT the smaller con
Germs or make them join the coke syn
dictate We think Mr.. Cbas. Jessop
superintendent Of the Austen coke
works Will agree with as in this.
This is what they call the coke trust,
which James @ Blaine says is a "pri-
vate affair" with which President
Cleveland nor private citizens have no
right to interfere. The people will
have something to say about those ''pri-
yate affairs" in the near future.

Wool is still advancing. The Re-
publicans cry that putting wool on the
free list would cause the American
sheep to go on strike, and the monop-
olistic manufacturers would go to Aus
tralia and import foreign sheep to take
their places like they have been doing
with the workingmen. Even the sheep
bleat at their absurdity and go right
along producing the same amount of
wool.

man win.

Rev. WIN. III. WILEY, of Palatine,
Marion comfy, explains why the good
Republicans of Marion county rotten
egged Mr.. f. w. Mills, the temper
ance lecturer. He says they did not
take offense at Mr. Mills calling the
Republican party dirty names, and a
man could not be very good christian
and vote the Republican ticket. 1t
was when Mr.. Mills pleasantly alluded
to Golf that they let the rotten eggs
fly at him. Rev. Wiley says he and
Governor Pierpoint and other good Re-
publicans approved of the rotten egg
ing of Mr. Mills. And this is the
party that claims to be the party of
freedom of speech! the party that
freed the Negro the party of a free
ballot and fair count Well, their
abuse and attempt intimidation of Pro-
hibitionists gives them the lie. They
would not allow a Prohibitionist to
speak in the State if they could pre-
vent him.
But Rev. Wiley did not go far
enough in his explanation. What were
those good Republicans doing with
those rotten eggs concealed about them
The only plausible Interpretation is
that those good Republicans of Marion
county intended to rotten egg Mr..
Mills if he said anything that did not
meet their views. Shame Let us
hear no more of the Republican hypoc-
risy Of freedom of speech.
