that we have 50 pressed the sub-treas.
dry measure. II is the plan fOrmu-
lated and sanctioned by our national
organization, and is now before con
gfess and che county for discussion,
1t is a matter Of such vast importance
that Il must be Kept Constantly before
the people, and its every feature and
bearing must be mado as familiar A
the alphabet
While il is true as our correspond
ent suggests, that we should concen-
trate on a few points, it is also true
that we must entertain, consider and
discuss a multiplicity Of plans, Of
suggestions and views from varying
stahdp6ihts. The time is one of groat
fettient Of Thought The one thing
apparent TO all Who are not Culpably
blind, Is that something is radically
wrong, that vast numbers Of people
are innocent sufferers and are lncap-
able Of bettering their condition But
az to the remedy, or remedies, for all
spthere isop many points a wide
diyergence,Of opinion, hence the rem
edies suggested, deinqt all coincide
We are confronted by a condition
comparatively new, or at least one to
which it is proposed to apply new
treatment. The situation must be
more broadly treated than has ever
been any industrial problem What
ever is done to permenantly improve
must be on n larger scale and wider
scope than ever before in the history
Of the world. Much that will be said
and much that viii be Written will be
unavailable, but ii is NEVERTHELESS i'm
portant, that all sincere voices should
be heard. The humblest ttterance
may prove to be the one Of greatest
benefit. We are in the consultation
stage and should listen to each other
with the utmost patience While
holding steadfastly to our individual
convictions Of right, we should cheer
fully defer 8s to methods. TnE AD-
vooATE must, Edf SONS time, give a
hearing to u large variety Of prdb6si-
tions and plans, at the same time
holding steadily to certain we'll de-
fined measures as they shall be en-
bhdsiSRd and sanctioned by the farm
ers and laborers Of America.
The advocate., 1890-03-26

A CORRESPONDENT begs us not to ask
for too much, or too many Legislative
measures lest we fail to so concentrate
our interest and our effort as to in
sure success. ".'he word Of caution is
a timely one. IL is essential that
there should be such determination
of purpose, and such unanimity Of
action as will render failure impOssi-
.ble. It is with a view to such unity

The 'Star'' end Tho TarIR.

COMMENTING Cs Tm ADvoCATE's 70,
cent open letter to- Kansas congress-
men the Kansas City Star says; h
silent regarding the tariff, Which after
all is the supreme issue before the
people, and which concerns the farm
ers OF Kansas and OF the entire coon
Try more closely than any other
problem" We feel almost like be-
seeching tie Star writer to follow
Oliver Wendall Holmes and refrain
from being as "funny "a he can" Tho
comment 6d, however serve one good
healthy purp0se, il woke a real hearty
ringing laugh in TIE ADVOCATE Office
Why bless you, dear Star, the whole
bundle Of tariff literature has been
pigeon holed 80 long that we hayo for
gotten we ever kept any tariff clip
pings.
The Star further says:
''ThIs silence IL sufficient 10 inspire the fear
tiat Che Alliance IL In danger Of defeating there
forms nj WhIsh IL aims by q mistaken allegiance
10 system which has done more 70 Increase The
burdens OF the FARMERS than any other evil Ok
which they complain"
Now that's odd sort Of logic. Simp-
ly because q paper is silent on any
question is IL TO be taken as primG
facia evidence chat said question ia
endorsedi
TIE ADVOCATE letter said nothing
about mormonism but il does not fol-
low that il endorses poligamy.
Don't worry about the tariff procliy-
tiles OF the Alliance. The starvation
for farm products following hard up
on a glorious protection campaign
have brought the farmers round TO
the good old republican standpoint Of
Senator Ingalls, declaration that; "Ihe
tariff is not Of as much weight as the
the fly on che cart wheel The tariff
is only feint, a false pretense. It's
only an instrument for iugglery and
tomfoOlery."
Now Of course His BrilliAnCy's man
ner of stating it is extreme. The tar
iff has done world Of mischief in
concentrating capital, but that mis-
chief is done and no "tomtooling'
about either protection or free trade
will now avail to mend the present
maladiustment of industrial condi-
tions. Were we TO have absolute free
trade tomorrow, the beef combine
would live right on. The transpOrta-
ton question would be just as un-
manageable as il now is. Grain gamb-
ling would still flourish and Wall
Street would still be king Of the can
nibsl parties. No amount OF either
protection or reduction will doctor
the present sickly conditions.
The prevailing low prices have
formed o sort Of rubber ring upon
which the farmers have cut their po-
litical eye teeth. There ls no danger
OF their hambeaning very extensively
over any candidates who refuse ~
stand on the platform OF their Ain
ance demands. VA
No Mr.. Star the farmers retuse ~
believe with you chat the tariff y 'h
supreme issue which concerns

A Wicked Assault.

Last Tuesday a tall travelling man
from Kentucky, who takes orders for
a tobacco house i'll Louisville, stepped
into Gales drug store and bought
some corn plasters lie asked permis-
sion to go into a p-ivate room to ap-
ply the stuff. and Arris Finstad, who
had waited upon him, allowed him to
step into his bedroom in the rear of
the store. After the man left the store
Auris noticed that his revolver, which
he'd left in the room, was missing.
The latter at once walked across the
street and confronted the Kentuckian
with the accusation OF having stolen
1t. The accused denied it and Auris
walked back to the store. The form
er after taking a walk around the
block came back to the store, where
after a few words between the two in.
sued, he assaulted Finstad with his
fists. The latter ran out to the side
walk where the tai: pugilist continued
to pommel him. Judge Abbey. who
stood by, ordered the aggressor arrest
ed, nho being arraigned few minutes
later, was fined $500 and costs
amounting to $3l.5o. The general i'm
preston is that the fine was well de
served. His name is Samuel Toole.

There Was Quite q Breeze.

About one o'clock Sunday night thu
sleeping populace were slightly dis
turbed by the rushing Of southeast
erly wind, accompanied Ivy heavy rain
and vivid lightning. To add to the
apprehension of the situation the fire
alarms sounded, which was answered
by few of the faithful. but there was
no fire except the column of sparks
that rushed out of the llohring mill
smokestack.
When daylight came it was discov-
cred the east amphiheater at the fair
grounds was blown down; the wind
mill of the Omaha company lay across
the track. Piggott's barn was blown
over, the stock yards sheds on the Mil
waukee track were unroofed, as was
also Sutley's kitchen on east First
street. E. s.. Johnston's barn was
somewhat demoraliZed and the tin roof
on the one story trick building on
north Main street was damaged. Par
ties coming in this morning from Mt.
Vernon report that several buildings
there were blown over. including a
large row of corn cribs. Stock in Ium.

Truly a Household Remedy.

G. Middlebrook, 24O Bedford avenue,
Brooklyn, NY, writes:
~ used Allcock's Porous Plasters
for the last twenty years. They are
truly household remedy, IT one of
my children has cold and wheeZes,
| put an Allcock's Porous Plaster on
the chest and one between the shoul-
der blades. II any of the children
have croupy coughs. or coughs of any
kind, place the plaster close up
around the throat; the soothing effect
is apparent almost always in two
hours. If they have disordered stom-
ach, a plaster placed just below the
chest bones makes digestion perfect in
half a day. If there is any looseness
of the bowels, accompanied by cold
ness of the skin, two Allcock's Porous
Plasters applied over the stomach cure
in from two to five hours. [ notice
particularly that these plasters never
abrade the skin or cause the slightest
irritation. From my own experience
l know they never fail for rheumatism
pains in the back or lumbagO."

Failures IN Life.

People fail in many ways. In busi-
ness, in morality, in religion, in happi-
ness and in health. A weak heart is-
often an unsupported cause of failure
In life. If the blood does not circulate
properly In the lungs there is short
ness of breath, asthma, etc.; in the
brain dizziness, headache, etc.; in the
stomach, wind, pain, indigestion, faint
spells, ETC.; in the liver torpidity, con-
gestion, etc. Pain In the left side,
shoulder and stomach is caused by
heart strain. For all these maladies

The REPUBLICAN,, scanned the col
sums of the last ISSUE of the Gazette
for some expression on the "Indepead-
sent Party movement, but our hith-
serto bold neighbor failed to touch up
on the subject. Was the Gazette's
columns too full of worn-out capital
controversy to devote any space to a
live issue, which has attracted univer-
/ sal attention in the state during the
Spast week?
SSs As the organ of the Farmers ALI
sance of this county, as a republican
newspaper, its editor holding coun-
sty office by virtue Of republican nom-
ination and republican votes, it would
seem incumbent upon the Gazette to
define its position as to its attitude
toward the republican party. Ii the
professions of the Farmers Alliance
are rightly understood, that organiza-
tion, as such, does not pretend to say
that member cannot be republican
and still be loyal alliance man. The

two young toughs from the country
north of town, rode down Main street,
shooting off revolvers and yelling like
Sioux Indians, running their horses
over the sidewalks. When they got
ready they stopped their noise and left

Encouraging Word to Farmers

Encouraging Word to Farmers.
Over production of farm products,
too much wheat, oats. corn, too many
cattle, hogs and sheep, is now the cry.
We produce more than our own peo-
pie can consume, and foreigners will
only take our surplus at their own
prices.
IS there any light ahead? Yes, q
little. Nearly all of the cheap govern
ment lands have been sold, and west
ern migration for homestead and
cheap land is stayed. Our population
is increasing at the rate of 2,200.00(
q year, and in less than ten years q
healthy home demand will more than
overtake production.
