markets are necessary to the prosperity
of the farmers, and oppose tho election
of William Mckinley, among other res
sons. because he voted for and advo-
Gated the infamous force bill. That
measure imperils the very existence OF
constitutional government In tnis
country, and the best interests OF the
people demand its defeat. II is
scheme devised to perpetuate the pollti-
cal power Of the Republican party. Inc
enforcement OF such measure would
require millions OF dollars from the
public treasury would foist upon the
people horde OF Federal officials, not
elected by citizens but appointed by
Judges who hold their positions for life,
and would endanger the peace and good
order of communities without affording
the slightest protection to o single
elector.
NOTHING SOUTH TO JUSTIFY IT.
There has nothing taken place in any
part of the South to Justify the exercise
OF the doubtful power Of Congress TO
regulate our elections Federal super
visors in every election district, strangers
TO the people, vested with authority to
override the certificates of local Officials
and Governors Of States, constitute the
network of the proposed iniquity.
The sacred right of representation is
made to depend upon the integrity OF
partisan officers having no responsibility
TO the people. The tendency Of SUCH
legislation would be to provoke conflict
between Federal and State officials, and
race preiudices would be engendered at
the South. This force bill is a vicious
attack upon our republican form OF gov
eminent and ought not to prevail.
THE REPUBLICANS PROPOSE TO PASS IT.
In conversation with Major Mckin-
lev on the train to-day he told me 1t was
the intention of the present Republican
Congress to pass the force bill before its
expiration, no matter which party was
successful in the coming congressional
elections. IL they do not carry the next
election you can rest assured they Will
not pass the bill.
ANOTHER SPECIE.
After the Governor had finished his
speech, in view OF the fact that the peo-
pie on the outskirts of the crowd had
been unable TO hear him and that many
who were at their daily labor also desired
TO hear him, he consented to remain
until tonight, when he addressed Loo
people who taxed the utmost capacity OF
the opera-house. The Governors re-
marks we're mainly n review Of the tariff
question and the legislation and doings
of Congress.
The Governor and party left for Mas
sillon, where he speaks tomorrow.

Tile OPENING STRONG.

The market this morning opened quiet
hut strong, with favorable advlces from
London. and there were good buying
orders in the market from many outside
points, Chicago. Boston, and even Lon
don taking their favorites to limited
extent. The larger traders also who have
been SO bearish during the past two
months were working for rise, and
offerings were being taken with
such ease that traders in general
took the long side for turn.
Prices, therefore, on Il moderate
business displayed q stronger tone,
which cropped out in spots with special
force, though the movements were gem
orally confined to small fractions.
Lackawanna and North American were
the leaders early, but their places were
afterwards taken by the Changers, Louis
vile, and the specialties.
SUGAR WEAK.
Sugar was specially weak throughout
the day, and the strength in the general
list was not sufficient TO hold it up, the
passing of the dividend being made a
special point by those who were working
for lower prices, aud different versions
of the reasons for the action were cir
culated with no influence for good upon
the stock. 1t was prominent In all re-
actions, and its influence was most
prominent in the last hour, when a gene
raj reaction from the best prices OF the
day was made, induced by realizations.
Among specialties Mobile and Ohio
was the only feature, and the business
OF the day was principally on a dozen
leading shares, the rest being compara-
lively neglected.
THE CLOSE RATHER HEAVY.
The close was rather heavy, but still
at fractionally better figures than the
opening. Tho final changes are almost
invariably advances for small fractions,

New YORK, October 22.-The stock
market to-day was somewhat of sur
prise on account Of the ease with which
prices we're lifted on slight purchases.
The great liquidation in Wall street has
driven stock from brokers' Offices into
the hands of strong parties, making
scarcity of long stocks in the street.
This is now particularly noticeable upon
any attempt to buy either by bulls or
bears. The raids OF the latter no longer
bring out long stock and the small de-
pressions caused by raids are soon re-
covered.

colony throye and often grew moro populous
and more wealthy than the mother city.
That is, to this day, the best way of dealing
with congested centers of population, and
while General Booth and other philosophers
are discussing plans for the abolition OF pow
erty, the surplus population of London and
other British cities are solving the problem
practically by emigrating to the United
States, and Canada. and Australia.
Some one asks. What shall be done with
the surplus of great cities when all the fer
tile land in these new countries is taken up?
The answer to that question is given in
report recently made on the waste land in
New England. 1t seems that there Is, In the
six New England States, enough unoccupied
swamp and other so-called desert land to
support twice the present population of
those States if it were drained, reclaimed
and put under the plough. Schemes for its
reclamation are already being considered.
There is possibility that when the tide of
immigration is driven back from the river
valleys from the impossibility of finding
vacant land to occupy. it may set toward
the neglected hillsides of New England.
The sons of the young men who left Massa-
chusetts and New Hampshire to seek their
fortunes in the valley of the Missouri may
turn their backs on the west to seek their
fortunes near the old homestead. where en-
lightened agriculture and scientific appli-
anceS are converting barren spaces into

REMEDIES FOR POVERTY.

General Booth of the Salvation Army pro-
poses to cure the evil of overpopulation by
founding suburban colonies Tito which the
surplus of CITIES may be emptied. One of
his proposed colonies is to be Industrial, and
TO manufacture foods, mats, sacks and other
products Of industry in which the cost Of
the raw material is small. Another is to be
agricultural, and every member thereof
shall own small farm on which he shall
grow vegetables ana fruits for sale.
This scheme merely amounts to transfer
ring an evil from one place to another, in
stead of curing il. If General Booths
industrial colony proves a success. it will
compete with the parties who now produce
foods, mats, sacks, et.., and il his agricult-
ural colony proves a success, it will divide
the market which British farmers now en-
Joy. We know how it is in this country
