THE CYCLONE WILL COME.

The New York Herald is of the opin.
ion that unless the Alliance blows
over" "the candidates this fall are
going to do some curious pledging."
Well, there's no lack of wind at the
head of the Georgia Alliance. The
candidates need not be in a sweat
about making pledges.-Brunswich
Times.
The Times is right-there is wind
not only at the head of the Alliance
but all along the line. No, candidates
need not be in a sweat but they had
better be preparing to pledge them.

the executive committee has placed
before them, and which is at the head
of the columns, or they will think
that the breeze that strikes them this
fall IS a cyclone. The hurricane is
certainly coming.-Southern Alliance
Farmer.
You are all right, gentlemen. There
will De some curious pledging done.
The breeze Is pretty strong, too. The
candidates need not be in a sweat.
Better take time to think a little be-
fore you begin to pledge. 1t might
not be wise if you begin to pledge too
early you might pledge too
often. If you have been in the State
or National legislative halls, try to
decide whether or not you have ever
carried out your former pledges. If
you have been there very long, it
would be a good idea for you to come
around and see the farmers and find
out what they want in the way Of
legislation. With some of you we
are sure that your time has been taken
up with other matters to such an ok
tent that you have had no time to look
after the welfore of the farmers. Hence,
we say, if you have been in the legis-
lative business foc a long time and
have not had time to find out what

months.
Kentucky has organized Is County
Alliances and l79 Sub Alliances since
August, 1889.
The Smithville, Maryland, Alliance
has completed their new hall and the
first meeting since its completion has
just been held.
An Alliance plug tobacco factory
will be built at Durham at an early
date. The capital stock will be De-.
tween $4,000 and $4,000.
The Alliance warehouse at Talbot
ton, Ca, is now the property OF the
County Alliance. Talbot county is to

The State Exchange of the South
Carolina Alliance has done business
to the amount of $4,000 in the two

from the county agent of BERTHE
county asking the reason we stated
that. In answer will say that it was
on account of the nearly total failure
of crops in that section last year. We

several sections Of the State are doing
as we'll as they are. Certainly we
meant no reflection on the good people

THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER of
this week is freighted down with good
reading matter. The interview of
Col. Polk by a representative of the
Cincinnati Enquirer and the speech
before the Senate Committee last Tues
day, occupy a large portion of our
space, and the editorial and news mat
ter is limited, but we are sure that our
readers will be profted by their pub,
LEGATION.
- Don't fail to read the ADVERTISE
ment of Messrs. Whiting Bros, in
this issue. They carry a large stock of
clothing, hats, boots, shoes, &c. This
firm is well" known and entirely re-
liable. Whiting Bros, were the first
firm in this section to give reduced
prices on clothing to the members of
our order, and they have faithfully
carried out their part of the contract.
Orders from a distance will be filed
promptly. Give them a trial.
Again we must ask that our cor
respondents condense their communi-
cations, and that they give US a rest
in the matter of resolutions. Go ahead
and form good resolutions, but unless
it is something newt is not necessary
that they all be published. Now and
then we get resolutions of respect
touching the deaths in our order, the
writers saying publish them and
send bill, we will pay for them" We
cannot and will not for pay nor any
thing else.

may pull through, but if they are SO
foolish as to pass a law TO stop deal
ing in futures and the like, it will be
awful AS it is, Mr.. Nelson and the
rest of that crowd may continue to
pile up fortunes and still be able to
look after the welfare of our farmers,
that is if the farmers don't get dis
spirited and quit work.
But aside from all that there Is an
other feature in the Herald'S editorial
that should have some attention. 3" 1t
would be impossible to handle the
crops of this country if the producer
and the yer compelled to
sell and buy only as the products are
marketed" The quotation is from
the speech of Mr. Nelson or some other
dealer in futures before the Senate.
But the Herald seems to endorse 1t.
That is dreadful news, indeed. 1t
such a law were passed is it possible
that the people would get so mad that
they would quit eating? That would
be the greatest strike on record.
Whenever the work of setting the
price on the products of the country
is taken out of the hands of grain and
other spectators the people are going
to strike, and then you could not sell
a bushel of wheat nor pound of meat
nor a bale of cotton. Dreadful time,
sure. Life would hardly be worth
living. No, the bill to break up
specializing in futures must not pass.
1t woud seriously injure the agricul-
tural interests of the country, (espe-
cially those large farms On Wall street,
New York, and the Chicago Board of
Trade,) these farmers must be pro-
tected. We have the scales pulled off
u eyes at last. 1t is the "city"
farmers who must be taken car Of.
We had been foolish enough to think
that the men who worked day after
day in all kinds of weather to make a
little grain and meat and cotton,
were entitled to some consideration at
the hands of our lawmakers, but now
we know that the stock gamblers are
the real sufferers, and if the Herald
tells the truth, the farming business
would soon pine away to nothing if
the Woodworking farmers, who sell
our things for US months before they
are harvested, at such great advantage
Ito themselves) should be interfered
with.

and let the interior take San Francisco at
her word, and while she is in the mood.
She promises, if the fair is given to her
this year, to make it eclipse anything o.
the kind ever before attempted or carried
out. She promises to endow, labor for'
and push the fair to great success. Now
let us in self-interest, and to further the
broad purpose of the Legislature in au-
thorizing and equipping these fairs, accept
the offer of the metropolis and do our ut,
most to aid it to attain the end it promises
shall be its aim. We agree with the San
Francisco Bulletin, that were it possible to
unite both fairs, and secure for this winter
the exhibits of all the citrus-growers in a
great hall in San Francisco, it would bean
attraction that would draw people from
the far East simply to see the exhibits.
But while such a union cannot be had the
northern citrus districts can alone set up a
fair in San Francisco that will eclipse al
former efforts, and that will advertise the
world around California's capacity, and
will hence be of immense benefit to North
ern and Central California; it will be
viewed in the ten days of its existence by
not less than a hundred thousand people,
fully ten thousane of whom viii be East
ern visitors, or intimately related to the
investment of Eastern capital, and the
settlement of Eastern home-seekers in

The Mortgaged West.

The Western States have given more at
tention to the collection of statistics OF
mortgages than other parts Of the country.
The subject is one of great and growing in
terest, and il is well worth the careful ex-
animation of statisticians and statesmen.
Ohio is the oldest of the Northwestern
States The State Bureau of Statistics re-
ported, for the year 1888, 291 $40 mort
cages upon real estate, and the amount for
which the land is mortgaged is S330,999.-
600. The assessed value of real estate was
81, 900, 262 900; the mortgage indebtedRss,
therefore, was, within a fraction, one
third the value of the whole real estate OF
Ohio.
The aggregate mortgage Indebtedness of
the people of Indiana is at least $780,
100000.
The total number of real estate mort
cages in Illinois in 1887, apart from city
lots, was 92,777, for an amount Of Sl42,-
100000, the overdue interest amounted to
S4,919.754, and the total Indebtedness of
the farmers, therefore, was S147, 800, 600.
The number of acres mortgaged was $685.
per cent. But of course the interest
nominated in the bond" was not all. The
interest. in one form or another, will
rarely fall below 10 per cent.
The annual report of the Michigan La
Dor Bureau for 1888 shows the following
results: The total number of farms in the
State was 90,S03, of which 1909 were
mortgaged, their assessed value being $79,-
$4,000, and the mortgage Indebtedness
49,, 100000 The rate of interest was ~
per cent, and the accrued interest was 81
701, 000 The percentage of mortgages to
the assessed value Of the mortgaged lands
was 46.S. The number of mortgage fore
closures during the year was 1867, and
the number of redemptions 131. The num-
Der of sales under execution was 244, and
the number of redemptions was 33.
There are said to be 10000 farms in
Kansas; and on this basis the editor of the
Topeka Aduocdte concludes that the total
mortgage Indebtedness of the State, among
the farmers, is Sl46,563,000. The report
adds: "a great many have had to borrow
interest from the banks, and others have
not paid interest for two years"
The virgin soil of the West is rapidly
ceasing to be the home and the
possession of the sturdy American freeman.
1t is related of John Randolph of Roanoke
that when visiting neighboring planter,
some seventy years ago, he found his
hostess surrounded by her female servants,
making clothing for the Greeks who were
struggling for liberty and independence.
But, while taking leave, he observed a
troop of ragged slaves approaching the
house; and turning, he said to the lady,
MADAM, the Greeks are at your door"
And now to America, all aglow with
sympathy for the Irish in their struggle for
liberty, it may be said, MADAM, Ireland
is at your door" -Daniel r. Goodloe in
Forum
