bill now before the legislature, reducing the
rate Of interest to per cent. and they are
urging a strict supervision Of railroad rates
and the curisilment Of the large appropria-
tions annually made for the beneht-e'lne
State capitol and the canal.
II is interesting TO notesiat the New ork
State Alliance ocwpics a middle ground on
the questiopof the tariff, being neither IN
fayQro very low tariff nor advocates Of
'figh tarin. So far, however, as certain pro
ducts Of their farms are concerned, they de-
clare themselves in favor Of that policy OF
protection which is applied to manuiac-
turcd goods. Canada is a constant compel
itor IN their markets, and Is very success
FIJI IN keeping all prices down. The New
York farmers seem 70 have the soundest
reasons for complaining Of their proximity
70 the Canadian Dominion. The president
Of the state Alliance recently stated the
difficulties Of the situation in very iorcioie
way. $50 soon" he declared, Gas the
price Of hay gets to where IL is profitable TO
the New York farmer to grow It,
the market is glutted with Canadian hay
that pours across the border. Let
the price Of hay get up, and every
car on the Delaware and Hudson
Railroad is put into use bringing this for
age crop from Canada. It's the same thing
all along the line. Millions Of eggs, pota-
toes, etc, come in from Canada, and it is
impossible TO keep living price for farm
products in the face Of this surplus unless
more protection is given as. We want
higher duty on wool also. When they low
cred the duty ON wool the sheep farmers
slaughtered their sheep and went into
dairying, with the result that they swamped
the market anapu down the price Of dairy
products. We ought to produceall the wool
we use, and when we DO there will be less
surplus Of dairy products, better prices and
another avenue Of prosperity to the farming
community"

The Farmers Alliance, which has hitherto
been strongest in its membership in the
West, South and southwest, is now spread
ing IN the Northern States with a rapidity
that is causing some confusion in the calcu-
lations Of the shrcwdest politicians in that
section Of the Union.
A few months ago there was organized at
Albany, in New York, what is known as the
state Farmers Alliance. which is really a
branch Of the National Alliance. its general
object being to secure laws from the Lecis-
lature that will be advantageous TO the
farming interests. The Organization, how
ever, is in no sense political, the defeat
which has oyertaken the ProhibitIonists a.
a third party in New York politics. and the
permanent injury thereby inflicted upon the
cause Of prohibition, constituting a warning
which has wisely been accepted by the state
Alliance.
The first law which il proposes to demand
OF the legislature. is what is spoken Of a.
the equal tax law. BY the last report Of the
assessors Of New York state, il is shown
that the burden Of 90 per cent. Of the taxes
levied In that commonwealth is imposed
upon real estate, the overwhelming propor.
ton OF which consists Of agricultural LANDS.
TO this the farming classes very naturally

Food for the hungry.
New York Tribune

President Harrison has sent message 90
Congress recommending the removal of the
discriminating duty now imposed upon
foreign works Of art. In the accompanying
report Secretary Blaine expresses his belief
that the revival Olthe question accompanied
by the Presidents recommendation will
suffice for the attainment of the desired rc-
suit. The House Committee ON the WAYS
and Means has voted % place works of ant
upon the tree list. We trust that the action
of the committee viii Doe ind0rsod by fhe
House. When the ten per cent. duty of 1851
was raised 90 a 30 per cent duty in ls.3
there were no logical reasons for
this increase. ON the contrary. the
class most intcrested-the artists of this
country-had asked the removal of even the
old duty Of lO per cent? Yet. without the
knowledge and against the will of American
artists ANA amateurs. the 80 per cent. duty.
which was not recommended by the tarll
commission, was imposed by means of "a
few lines inserted I'm the bin in the commit
tee Of conference. The Mills bin proposed %
continuance of this unnecessary tax upon "a
means of education. We believe that the
matter will De handled i'm wiser and more

Dickens in "LIttle Dorrit" graphically
portrays the workings Of the British Cir
cumlocuton Office by which show not 10 do
it," is reduced TO an exceedingly fine art.
still with all the practice which years Of
experience, backed up by unlimited re-
sources, has given them, the officials Of the
circumlocution Office Of the realm Of Great
Britain could not begin to approach tn.
Committee Of Ways and Means Of the
United States House Of Representatives in
understanding show not to do it,
No greater evidence Of the truth Of this
assertion is needed than the Mckinley Tariff
bill, now before Congress. That measure
purports to offer relief to the masses Of con-
sumers by reducing, at the rate Of $4,000.
900 a year, the taxes now unnecessarily eN-
torted from the people, causing the con-
slant accumulation ofsmillions Of dollars Of
surplus in the United States Treasury; but
does il do its Not by any means. True "a
reduction Of receipts is provided for, but
never in the history Of legislation was a
more ingenious scheme devised for appa-
rently beneftting the people without afford
ing them the slightest practical good.
Southern industries are struck at by the re-
duction OF the duties on raw sugars and
rice; yet care is taken that the sugar reiiner
Of the North shall still be sure Of his enor-
nous profits under the protective system;
while. as 10 tobacco. the internal revenue
tax is taken from il only in sufficient degree
to reduce revenue, but without appreciably
beneftting either the manufacturer or the
buyer. II is, in word, a mere pretence OF
accomplishing something without really
doing anything, and while il will, if it ever
becomes a law, cut down Government re-
ceipts, the toiling consumers will find life
no less a struggle than before # was enacted.
1t will reduce the surplus, but at the
same time the expenses Of the necessa-
ries Of the farm ard household will be kept
up TO as high a standard as ever.
The Republican majority in Congress
may fatter themselves that this bill, |
with its boast Of reducing revenues while
absurdly increasing taxes on farm pro-
ducts, will succeed in hoodwinking the peo-
pie at large, and the agricultural classes Of
the country in particular; but unless all
signs fail, they are decidedly calculating
without their host If the municipal cleo
tons recently held in the North and West
are any criterion, a tidal wave Of Democ-
racy has already begun to sweep over the
country. As the effect OF present Republi-
can legislation becomes moro fully felt. it
will gain steadily in strength, and, by 1892,
its force will become irresistible.
