ment all other business interests are de-
Tended as to their rights and protected
in their successes, through the co-opera-
ton Of united effort and united action.
In seeking such defense, some Of these
interests have infringed hurtfully upon
the interests of the farmer, and they
needed by similar union of forces to
be driven of.
The capitalist. seeking the largest
value for his money, has secured the re-
duction Of our currency, thereby doub-
ling the purchasing power of his money,
and, necessarily diminishing the in
come of the producer. In the single
article of wheat, in Eve years after the
decentralization Of silver, the farmers of
the United States lost 1929, 600, 900, at
tributable to no other cause than the
lack of money to move the crop. In
1873 cotton sold in the New York mar
ket for II cents; in 1878 for 1O.7 cents;
in 1885 for 8 cents. 1t is easy to be
seen, therefore, that the loss to the cot
ton planters, under the monetary sys-
tenn OF the Government, has been as
hurtful as to the growers Of wheat at the
Matchmaking over two hundred mill
ions of dollars for one season alone, as
the loss sustained by the farmers at the
South in the sale of cotton. These
losses demand intelligent investigation
by farmers, as they stand in painful con-
trast to the fortunes accumulated by
those who handle their products.
Again, it is discovered that other
classes Of citizens have unrestrained &C.
cess to the financial help of the Gov
eminent, upon easy terms for their col
lateral, while the farmers, with their
real estate, are not recognized at all.
Without enumerating further dis
ordinations that are absolutely ruin
GUS to our agriculture, it is enough to
say that the burdens put upon farmers
are more than their share, more than
they can carry and more than the right
full administration of the Government
demands.
When the Alliance is seeking the i'm
proved methods of agriculture aad
studying advanced ideas in progress in
farming, they are seeking also better
reward for their labor in better prices
for their products.
Under our present methods, wheat at
eighty cents per bushel and cotton at
nine cents per pound will not pay the
cost Of production. Without change,
therefore, mortgages will continue to
increase; homes will pass into the hands
of syndicates, and the farming interests
of the country will pass into the hands
of foreign landlords.
The matter of price is now to be an
element of success. 1t demands the
close study and thorough investigation
Of the organized producers, as upon it
rests the success of all business and the
security of the Government itself.-W.
j. Northen, in Southern CultivatOr.

THE ALLIANCE.

Does Any One Now Question the Necessi-
ty for Organization:
dare say, no man now questions the
necessity for organization among farm
ers. The good results, already reached,
give sufficient evidence that there were
many evils to be corrected, and new
policies to be inaugurated on the farm.
Although the Alliance has been in
active operation but little more than
one year in Georgia, great revolutions
have been wrought in the agricultural
interests, while general business has
been put upon more secure basis. The
Alliance has urged rigid economy in ex-
pcnditures; prudent management in all
business arrangements; close fellow
ship in general interests; an intelligent
study of all economic questions, and q
faithful adherence to any and every
policy that seeks the public good.
Under the present order OF things
these results could not have been at
tanned without organization and concert
Of action. To correct the evils in policy
and practice, through individual effort
would have been slow Of good, not only
because of singleness of action, but
more certainly for the lack Of intelli-
gent counsel.
The difficulties of the situation were
embarrassing. because they appeared
absolutely without solution. Farmers

sources. They had about let go their
hold upon business, and disaster to
them selves and the general good was

THE TRAFFIC IN GIN.
1t Degrades the People or Africa More
Than Did the slave Trade,


Than Did the Slave Trade.
With the stoppage Of the slave trade
the gin traffic only received more pow
erful stimulus. To its propagation all
the energies of the traders were de.
voted. For spirits there ~ss already
huge demand, and it was jt,reaslng out
OF all proportion to the taste for better
things. 1t required no eXertions on the
part OF the merchants to set It ayoing,
and once started 1t grew and spread of
itself without any danger Of It's stop
ping. The profits, too, we're enormous
and certain, because the appetite for
drink had to be assuaged, no matter
what the price. Yet in all conscience
the pleasures Of ;ntoxication are not
expensive in West Africa. Over the
doorway Of hundreds of traders houses
might be hung the signboard of Ho-
garth's picture: "Drunk for a penny,
dead drunk for two pence" only the
''clean straw for nothing" would have
to be left out With the traffic in USE
full articles it was entirely different. To
push it was slow and laborious task,
and the profits were uncertain, which
did not suit men who wanted to make
money rapidly.
The result of this state Of matters Is
that the diabolical work commenced by
the slave trade has been effectually
carried on and widened by that in
spirits. l, for one, am inclined to be.
lieve that the latter is producing
greater-and what are likely to be quite
as lasting-evils than the former. The
spirit traffic has a more brutalizing eff
feet; it more effectually blights all the
natives energies, it ruins his constitu-
ton, and, through the habits it gives
rise to, his lands are left as desolate as
after slave raid.
What are the most characteristic
European imports into West Africa?
Gin, rum, gunpowder and guns. What
European articles are most in demand?
The same. In what light do the natives
look upon the Europeans? Why, as
makers and sellers of spirits and guns.
What largely supports the govern.
mental machinery Of that region? Still
the same articles.
The ships which trade to Africa are
loaded with gin out of all proportion to
more useful articles; the warehouses
along the coast are filed with it. The
air seems to reek with the vile stuff,
and every hut is redolent Of its fumes.
Gin bottles and boxes meet the, eye at
every step. and in some places the
wealth and Importance Of the various
villages are measured by the size of tho
pyramids of empty gin, bottles which
they erect to their own honor and glory
and the envy of poorer districts. Over
large areas it is almost the sole cur
rency, and in many parts the years

FACTS IN A NUTSHELL.

The Lutherans in the Baltic prov
inces of Russia have undertaken Wig
orous campaign against intemperance,
and have already achieved notable
success.
THE Anglo Temperance Association is
making rapid advances in India. The
object of the organization is to secure
the ultimate prohibition of the sale of
liquor throughout India.
II is said that Mr.. George W. Childs
confidently states that since the intro
duction of foreign and native mineral
waters as a table beverage the use OF
wine has decreased one-half at dinner
plrties and entertainments.
Towns and cities receive annually
from liquor licenses about Sl,250, 900,
while over $4,000, 900 is paid into sa-
looms by the people. Fer every dollar
paid in for license about twenty-one dol
lars are paid out by the people. The sa-
loon antagonizes all good government
and all educational influences. Carroll

SINCE the establishments Of the Vienna

than one-fourth the cost of all the mills
and factories, and considerably more
than one-fourth of the cost Of all the

A Terrible story from Chicago.

Some one has said that saloons can no
more be run without boys than saw
mills without logs. Lately in Chicago
"a school-teacher noticed knot of
boys counting the number Of holes in
some cards. He called one of them up
and insisted on knowing what it meant,
and the boy told him that saloon
keeper who had his saloon near the
school had given them those cards, and
every time they took adrink he punched
them-one hole for beer, two for straight
drinks and three for mixed drinks-and
each meath he gave prizes. The boy
who had she most holes punched in his
card got a revolver, the second life of
Jesse James and the third mesyschaum
pipe."-N. Y. Witness
