AT a meeting to be held at knights

Of this month, at 10 o'clock a. m, the
county alliance will define It's attitude
upon the political situation.
The advocate., 1890-05-21

SMITH COUNTY has fifty sub-allances,
all having a large membership. J. D.
Morrill,, secretary OF Cedar Center
Alliance, writes us that they now have
over fifty members in the alliance.
He says Brother s. M. Scott draws a
large crowd whenever he speaks,
The advocate., 1890-05-21

This section provides that 1he do
positor mag redeem his produce, not
that he must redeem IL II for some
unforeseen, and certainly unusual,
reason the depositor should wish to
withdraw his grain from the ware
house, this section simply provides
that he may do 80. Otherwise the
grain will remain whore stored until
the owner orders sale, when he will
receive 20 per cent. Of the proceeds,
he having already received 80 per
cent Of the market price when he
made his consignment to the ware
house.
II should moreover be borne in
mind that the farmer would receive
upon the sale of his produce, not only
the 20 per cent. balance over and
above the so por cent advance re-
ceived at the time Of deposit but he
would also be paid whatever might
be the advance in the market price
from the time Of deposit to the time
of sale.
The man who has been obliged to
"pay out all Of his 80 per cent pro-
ceeds for taxes and interest on notes
and mortgage" as a correspondent
says many farmers in his section
would be obliged TO do, would not be
obliged to redeem his grain, he would
simply order sale and receive his
balance. There is no villainous ire
demption clause" TO this bill.
Another objection is hatfarmersliv-
ing in counties which do not raise the
requisite amount Of produce would
not be benefited by it. It is true that
under the provisions of tho bill a
county must have raised for the last
preceding two years S5O0,00O worth
of farm products, but it by no means
follows that no benefits would accrue
to counties Of smaller production. In
the first place, if the farmers Of the
sparsely settled counties must put
their grain upon the market immedi-
ately after harvest, they will receive
a higher price for it than il it were to
pass into immediate competition with
the entire yield In the warehouse
counties a large proportion OF the
newly harvested grain would be stored
until such time as the owner chose to
order the sale; hence farmers Of the
unwarehoused counties would find
themselves greatly the gamers by the
establishment OF this provision 70
hold the great bulk Of produce until
the real need Of the consumer calls
for it to be marketed. AS conditions
now are, almost the entire bulk Of
agricultural products must be sold
within the brief space of a few weeks
or days. The need Of the people to
consume these products is no greater
during these weeks Of marketing than
at other portions Of the year. The
nations appetite is steady the year
round. People get hungry every
twenty-lour hours. But nearly the

seeks TO provide, the food products,
the breadstuffs which constitute the
staff Of life could be withheld from
the clutches Of the grain gamblers,
and in no other way can grain gamb-
ling bo thorougly and edoctually
stopped. II is well To have legisla-
tion against dealing in futures, but
woe unto the people who rest satisfied
with such Legislation. Have not the
people yet learned how woarisome
and disappointing are the processes
Of law, and how small the chance for
justice where poor men are the COM
plainants and rich combinations are
the deiendantsl
The sub-treasury measure is by far
the largest and farthest reaching
measure ever proposed in the worlds
history for the benefit Of the agri-
cultural class. It's benefits are by no
means confined to the raisers Of farm
products. There has never yet been
anything approaching an adequate
provision for the business transactions
OF tho farmer. Every other business
and trade has been given q fairer
chance for systematic conduct In the
way Of appropriate housing and busi-
ness supervision.
The large business transactions in
farm produce have been conducted by
speculators, while the producers have
been parties only to the small first
sales. All this will DO changed by
the establishment of a chain of ware
houses. With the business on this
systematic basis il will be possible to
establish just and stable schedule
Of prices Of farm products II will
then, for the first time in the worlds
history, be possible to learn something
about the law Of supply and demand
as related to the food consumer and
the food producer. These bonefcent
conditions will benefit the small farm
er and the larger farmer; the farmer
in the warehouse county, the tenant
! farmer and the farm owner
In no event could the operation Of
this measure make the farmer in the
sparsely settled county worse off,
But surely no true alliance man will
object to that which will help his
brother farmer in a more productive
county.
Section 7 OF the bill provides that a
deposit not ordered sold by tho owner
by the expiration OF time Of deposit
shall, after due published notice, be
sold at public auction according to
such rules as shall hereafter be pro-
vided. II has been asked, "Who
would be the buyer at such a saloY"
We answer that 1t would be quite i'm
material. The sale could drop but q
trifIie, IL any, below market price, the
depositor Of the grain would get the
balance due him, and the rarity OF
such an occurrence would not admit
Of any figuring for speculative pur-
moses.

Turner's Plain Statement,

George ID. Turner, the celebrated starter of
sprint races, in reply to request from TnIT
Field and Farm for a written statement con-
cerDng the start of the recent IO0-yard cham
pionship race says:
"Al have to say is that the five men in the
final heat were standing perfectly steady when
the pistol was fired. Owen was the first to get
away from his mark, although F. w. Robin
son, who was in the final heat. claims that he
ana Owen both left their marks together. This
statement from Robinson makes it LOOK that
those who claim Owen got the best of the pistol
by two yards do not know what they are talk
ing about, for no one has said anything about
Robinson beating the pistol by similar dis
tance. Lon Myers saws that he was standing
ten yards from the start and that Owen got the
best OF the pistol by two yards. Now you know
as well as when any man is running when the
pistol Is nred-I mean running two yards the
best Of the pistol Ii man beat the pistol by
two yards be should be about four yards ahead
at the yard mark yet Myers claims he was only
two yards ahead at this point. There is one
thing certain, and that is THAI Owen is the best
man to get away that have seen for years He
left them all standing in the go yard run Just
a. he die in the 100 yards. George GoldIe says
that the start of the latter distance wa per-
fectly tar, and scores of other men will say the
same. Write ana ask Robinson about it. He
ought to know something, for he was one of
tNC runners. j think the track is down hill
and thas, along with its being all clay, makes it,
Without doubt, very fast one This is simply
my idea of the track. 1t may oe perfectly level
and may be mistaken but am not much mis-
taken about the disputed start.

activity of the coke region Socialists con.
tinues to increase. Their meetings are beine
held with great regularity. On SUNDAY
afternoon there was large mass meeting
held at Trotter, where the speeches of the
leaders were most enthusiastically received
There were many spectators present outside
of the devout disciples of Herr Most, and
the leaders say there were many conversions
On Wednesday evening similar meeting
was held at Broad Ford, with equally fiat.
tering results to the speakers.
This movement is of but recent date. Last
August A. Jonas, a prominent Socialist.
was here and formed lodges at Scottdale
Pennsville, Everson and HAwkeye, each
lodge numbering but 20 to 30 members Since
Jonas advent the local leaders have been
hustling and have organized IA new lodges and
say they have a total membership of 25o,
while conservative people say their number
rather exceeds than falls below that number.
In addition to this there are new converts com.
ing in daily and it is claimed that within a few
months the membership will be nearly doubled
There was secret meeting of delegates in
Scottdale ZONE time ago. where nothing at all
that was done, reached the press. The mem
bers are nearly all Germans and transact ali of
their business and make most of their in.
cendiary speeches in that language. The names
of their leaders, presiding ficers, organizers
or members are not disclosed.
1t is said the order will take part in a quiet
way in the coming election. Several candidates
who are known to be anti-SocialisIs have been
spotted, and will be voted against solidly bv the
order. The members claim that the sole object
of their society is the elevation of labor by
peaceful means, and that their members are ali
lava bding and respectable citizens.

PRINCEToNs MAY COME.
The Prominent Kickers Want to Tackle the
Athletic Football Team Here.

Athletic Football Team Here.
There is a strong probability of football teams
from Princeton and Brooklyn coming to this
city to play In the near future. Yesterday
Secretary Dawsen. of the Allegheny Athletic
Club received letter from the manager of the
Princeton preparatory team relative to the
latter's coming here to play match. The
Princeton manage. went on to say that there
are two Pittsburgers in the team, and that the
players generally are wishful to play match
against the new team in Pittsburg. The man.
ager then goes on to say that his team cannot
travel so far under a guarantee of S160. This
figure is not considered too high. but the local
Club cannot deal definitely with the matter un-
til the negotiations, now going on with the
CreScentS, are over.
Efforts are now being made to secure the ia
nous Crescent team, of Brooklyn, for a match
here. That team is made up of IL star players,
who have all done great things in the univers-
lty teams in recent years. The team includes
such players as Terry, Becker. Edwardes, and
Bull. The Crescents play fora charitable OBJ
Ject in Cleveland the Saturday following
Thanksgiving Day, and it is hoped that they
VIII be induced to play match here on the
Monday. Mr.. John Moorhead is corresponding
with Mr.. Bull on the matter. 1t certainly
cents could be induced to visit the city. If they
cannot make it convenient to play here it is
certain that date will at once be fixed with
the Princeton team. This all goes to show that
football is ION the boom" in Pittsburg.
The managers of the Cleveland cam will be
IN the city to-day to confer with Messrs.
Thompson, Moorhead. and Dawsen relative to
dates for Two matches.
Iesterday afternoon a large number of local
players were at Exposition Park hard at work
practicing. To-day's games contemplated
with interest and if the weather is fine the
contest viii probably be lively one.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArc9-1
NEW YORK, October 24.-The baseball men
were conspicuous by their absence around the
Fifth Avenue Hotel this morning Only a few
managers were around, and they were occupied
with plans for signing men for next wear.
Anson was found in his favored corner this
morning, an d said: "Yes. there are only a few
OF US left" he has signed one or two players
since the ten-day rule went into effect.
The prospects of consolidation are extremely
bright; 1t is now definitely known that an in
formal meeting Of the capitalists of the
Players League and the National League was
held late last evening in A. G. Spaldings room
in the Hoffman House. Those who met were
President A. G. Spalding and c. H. Byrne of
the National League, and Messrs. E. B. Talcott,
Albert L. johnson and r. H. Robinson of the
Players League President John B. Day was
unable to be present. A. c. Anson was also
present.
The Players League men called on the Ma
uonal Ieaguers, So it is said, to apologize for
the way the latter had been treated relative to
the action OF the Brotherhood of Baseball
Players In refusing to allow them to keep their
agreement as explicitly made with the National
League that no player would be allowed on the
committee They said they had acted IN per-
feet good faith and that they were powerless to
go ahead and act as they had at first promised,
although through no fault of theirs. The Ma.
tional League men recognized the position In
which the members of the Players League
COMMITTEES were placed and saw that they had
been perfectly sincere In all their doings.
The entire situation was thoroughly dis
cussed, and the Players League capitalists
fully agreed that something must be done to
save the reputation of the game The National
League magnates forcibly reminded the Play
ers' League capitalists that they the National
League people, had been fooled, ipasmuch as
