Senator Vance has proposed the fol

Senator Vance has proposed the fol
lowing amendment to the tariff bill:
WHEREAS, From an early period in
our history, duties upon foreign i'm
ports have besn levied with the avowed
purpose of promoting the interests of
domestic manufacturers, and drawback
or rebate have been given OF the duties
on raw materials used in the manufac-
ture of all articles exported, for the
came purpose; and
WHEREAS, For the encouragement OF
the production of spirits and tobacco
all internal revenue taxes are refunded
upon those articles which are exported
abroad; and
WHEREAS, Bounties have long been
granted to our fishermen by draw
back of duties upon the salt used in
their business, and subsidies are pro-
posed to aid in the building and sale OF
ships; and
WHEREAS, Agriculture, the greatest
IN importance of all our industries, has
not been, and in the nature of things
cannot be aided in the same manner,
the duties heretofore for that purpose
having for the most part proven wholly
unavailing; and
WHEREAS, 1t is desirable to do i'm
partial justice to all of our industries,
and to give no one an advantage over
mother; and inasmuch as there is ano
other way by which agriculture can be
compensated for it's contribution to the
support of manufactures,
Therefore be it enacted, That in all
cases where it can be shown by proof
satisfactory to the secretary of the
treasury that any goods, wares, or mer-
chandise imported into this country
have been purchased abroad by any cit
izen of the United States by exchange
of farm products grown in the United
States for such goods, or where such
goods have been purchased with the
proceeds or avails OF such farm pro-
ducts in foreign countries, such goods,
wares, or merchandise shall be import
ed at the following rates of duty, to-wit:
One-half the present duty on all manu-
factures of iron and steel, 40 per cent
of the present duty on all woolen or
cotton goods, or articles of which wool
or cotton may be the component ma
terial of chief value, one-half the pres
ent duty on earthenware, china, and
glassware, 30 per cent of the present
rate of duty on all materials used for
fertilizers or in the manufacture there
of, and 25 per cent of the present rate
of duty on jute bagging and farmers

a sample Alliance Picnic.

The following from the Cedar Vale
Star is chosen as sample OF the re-
ports of picnics held by alliance men,
bers, their families, and friends, which
are noted in Kansas exchanges from all
quarters. The Star says:
"We visited the alliance picnic near
Niotaze, last Saturday, and as at all the
gatherings of the kind We have attended
this summer, We found very large as
sembly of quite earnest and enthusias-
tic citizens. The grove in which it was
held is the best one for the purpose we
have seen in the county. Ample prep
arations had been made for the accom-
mediation OF the people. and everything
passed off very pleasantly indeed. Otter
Creek alliance No. 7S9 was the first to
reach the ground. They formed long
procession, headed by martial band
and carrying banners. Their forces
were marshalled by S. A. Burson.
Next after them came Eli alliance, No.
719, of which L. w. Curtis is president,
and, with his banner, was quite con-
spicuous figure. In pavilion deco.
rated with the red. white, and blue, and
neatly thatched with grain in the straw
and with native grasses, was a bevy of
little girls dressed to represent the
different states of our Union. Follow
ing them came an equal number of lit
tie boys with fancy caps and sashes, all
wearing as badges little boluets COM
posed of wheat, oats, fax. timothy, and
clover, the last especially significant.
Several wreaths of clover were to be
seen in the crowd. The procession fol-
lowing them was long one. Other
alliances were present in a body, nota-
bly, Birch Creek alliance, and there
were probably nearly two thousand
people on the ground.
Elder Ross called the assembly to
order, and after music by the martial
band. a song of welcome from Eli alli-
ance, and prayer by Rev. J. 4. Blake,
the address of welcome was read by n.
Z. Anderson. He was followed by
Birch Creek alliance with another song,
and then the speaker of the day, Mr..
T. W. Gilruth, of Kansas City, was in
troduced. He is an able speaker, and
made lengthy speeches both in the
forenoon and afternoon, which were

The common remark among farmers
that clover will not succeed sown ON a

wheat was thus sown in alternate wears
with clover between. 1t was common in
those days To- pillow under a growth Of
clover, which made the soil too light and
porous for clover seeding next spring. II
also generally made too heavy a growth
OF grain for best success of the clover

condition OF soil that clover sod makes

Stanford Answers Some Objections to His
Farm Mortgage scheme.
WASHINGTON CITY, Dec Tin an inter
view yesterday Senator Stanford, of Cali
fornia, said he was not in any sense can
didate for the presidency, although he did
intend to call up his farm mortgage bill
Said he: 1T has been said that am using
that bill toadvance ETY. presidential aspir-
atoms. Nothing could be further from
my purpose. | felt satisfied when I pre-
pared the bill that it would create antae-
onism and that it would I'M, me in the
estimation of good riany conservative
men who do not understand the subject.
But believe 1t contains proper princi-
pie and furnishes the means without cost
TO the government of supplying the people
with such an amount of circulating me
dunn as the country demands A full
supply OF money is as necessary to the
business affairs of the country as a full
supply of tools are necessary to a mechanic
to produce the best results.
The Borrower Pays the Freight
An objection to your PLAN" was inter
jected. lis the expense to which the gov
eminent would be put in securing the
on farm mortgages.
That is not valid objection. The ex-
pense may be borne By the borrower, not
by the government Ii is always custom
airy for the borrower to pay the legal costs
connected with the transaction.
Another object of the bill'' Senator
Stanford went on, lis to furnish money
in such quantities that anybody who de-
serves credit may have it. For example.
farmer may borrow money, giving his
land as security, without needing it.
Development of the idea
My intention is that he, in turn, NAV
lend it to his equally deserving but less
fortunate neighbor, who has no collateral
That is practically the position occupied
by the national banks, and / see no reason
why private individuals should not have

Reverting again to the question of the
presidency. he was asked: "You say, sem
ator, that you are not candidate. What.
in that case, will you do IL the people of
your state insist upon presenting your
name 3"

said in 1SSs-that do not want my name
