Congressman Bliss, one of the New
York Democrats who refused to vote fol-
the Mills bill, is credited with this frank
remark:
1T seems to be the opinion of the free
trade leaders that the Democratic party is
too big. Well, it was not too big in New
York in 1884, and if Democrats are to be
ostracised and punished on account of their
opinions on the tariff, the party may be
found not quite big enough in November"

already been saved to our people by
the Alliance is enormous and would
scarcely be believed by an outsider.
But this is not all by any means that
the farmers gain by our order. It is
something more than dollars and

monthly, or oftener if they wish, dis
cuss farm topics and give one another
the benefit of their experience in the
various experiments they may from
time to time make. [ think this dis
semination of ideas of incalculable
benefit, as it gives the dullest farmer
the ideas and experience of the bright

draw back heretofore has been want
of union among the farmers. They
could never stick together long enough
to make any demands and were always
the worst abused class on earth. They
will now have some essay so " about
what effects their material interest,
and having tasted some Of the good
things in store for them, they will not
be apt to turn loose their hold and
drift back into the old order of things.

terest.

work. 1t should be taken by every

They are of nine foot slabs, two or
