EDITOR ADvOCATE:-Fountain town
ship f. A. and l. u, at a regular meeting
March %, passed unanimously the fol-
lowing resolution: 90
Resolved, That this alliance hereby
ratihes the demands agreed upon by the
Supreme Council at st. Louis, on Dec.
9th, and also fully endorses the demands
and resolutions made and adopted by the
meeting at EmporiO, March 9th, repre-
senting the State +. A. and /. u, the
State Grange, the State f. M. B. and the
X. of L.
Our alliance was organized last Sep
tember, with fourteen members. We
now have eighty-nine on the roll, and
twelve or thirteen more already elected.
Initiated ten at our last meeting, and re-
Ceived several applications We meet
every week. There is another alliance in
the township, organized recently, with
about thirty members. At the rate Of
increase for the past month, we shall
gather the entire eligible population Of
the township before next November
l have just been reading the proceedings
OF the nineteenth annual meeting Of the
State Board of Agriculture, aud got TO
the address Of Gov Anthony; where he
says that the supply Of unnecessary ag-
ricultral implements and machinery,
bought in this state within the last az
teen years, amounts in the aggregate to
sum greater than the mortgage indebted
ness Of Kansas to-day. Now the Gov.
knows that that's a "whopper" In the
sense he intended 1t to be taken, and yet
in one sense il is not only true, but like
the Queen Of Sheba, the half has not
been told me. The unnecessary machine
that has cost Kansas, and every other
state, more than double their mortgage
Indebtedness, Is the political machine
that for more than fifteen years has been
pumping the proceeds of the wealth pro
ducers into the Golfers OF the Shyl0cks.
Yours for economy,

Ing for the last month At meeting on
the fifteenth Of February, an agreement
was submitted 10 our sub-alllanCe for
their consideration and amendment, as
they should deem necessary. That pc
per embodied articles Of cooperation for
an alliance store, or as we now call II, an
exchange company. After the agree
mens was adopted, voluntary cOntribur
tions were made till we had raised nearly
81, l,OO0 and yet not One-third the member
ship were in attendance. With such a
favorable start, the work has been push-
ed until, at this writing, there are sixty
four men who have subscribed stock, re-
presenting nearly $1,000,
We hear threats on all sides, but we
are not intimidated In the least Other
merchants declare they will sell at prices
that shall be equally AZ low, II not lower
than any we make. We sincerely hope
that such may be the case, and we feel
that the grand work is only common
cling. We see better prices for the
poor man; better markets for his pro-
duce cheaper money for his necessities,
and more respect for the honest tiller OF
the soil. II the members Of the alliance
stick together, they have the shylochs OF
the land by the heels; but II they lot this
opportunity pass unimproved, the return
wave OF this great upheaval will engulf
them, and they will pay dearly for their
presumption in meddling with present
prices,
As to our store, we expect our stock
holders, at least, to stand by 1t when the
war Is on, but others, no doubt, will buy
wherever their money will 60 the iarth-
est This is their undeniable privilege,
but it is not 80 with the alliance man In
general. Any honest farmer will admit
that we never had such marvelously low
prices on Implements, till the alliance 80
cured them; and methinks that same
farmer we'll knows that such prices will
not remain longer than II becomes neoes-
ssry to break our contract with the Hap
good company. Brother farmer, stop
and think a moment before you buy that
ten dollar cultivator, and try to under
stand what has wrought this revolution
in prices. II you fail TO patrOnize the
Exchange, your case is like the man who
killed the goose that laid the golden egg,
When the Exchange fails, the prices will
never be known again.
The management of this Exchange
company is TO be entrusted to board OF
five directors, and finance committee
of three, all Of whom were elected on the
the 22nd inst. We expect TO be ready
for business by the first Of May.
Not wishing to ask too much Of your
kindness, remain
Fraternally yours,
w. I. WALTER.

said that he would not say another word
about the constitution. He was prepared
to join the procession II reminded him
of the hunting party that made an agree

kill an old crow, and cooked it for mess,
and every one praised It as most deli

Concerning Sugar Schedule,


WASHINGTON, September 3.-Rep-
resentative Wilkinson had m inter-
view today with the secretary of the
treasury and other treasury officials
with regard to the effect of the sugar
schedules of the tariff bill, The ques-
ton upon which he was asking infor-
nation was as to whether small
planters of sugar cane, who make
from it a little syrup but who have no
sugar house and have not taken out a
license, would be entitled to the
bounty proposed in the bill. The re-
suit of his conference was not very
satisfactory on account of indefinite
ness. The secretary said that he
hought the small producers would
/ be emitted to the same privileges as
the larger ones, but he thought that
the law ought to be made more de-
finite OH this point. This question
had been raised previously by both
Mr.. Wilkinson and Senator Gibson
before the senate committee on
finance, and it is probable that the
hill will finally be amended so as to
leave no doubt on this point.

WOMEN AS FARMERS.
Pushing Their Way Into All Kinds OF
Pursuits.

Horatio g. Wadlin, chief Of the bureau of
statistics of labor of Massachusetts has pub
lished pamphlet concerning the employment
OF women in that state, where the female popu-
lation outnumbers the male. He says the 1872
9O6 women employed in all gainfuI pursuits in
1875 formed 2133 per cent of the total female
population; the 300, 900 employed in 1885 con-
stituted 30 so per cent. Comparing the increase
In female population in 1885 over 1875 with the
increase In the number Of women engaged in
gainful pursuits in 1885 over 1875, it appears
that while the increase in population was II. SO
per cent, the increase in the number of women
employed in gainful pursuits was g. Sc per cent
MIR. Wadlin draws these conclusions from his
Investigations: las woman has made an en-
trance into industry, and has increased her
hold upon old branches of occupation and
forced her way into many new ones; as she is
now being educated to take more active part
In all branches of employment, and as she has
tasted the pleasures of independence by being
able to support herself and others, ono is
forced to conclude that woman's position in
Industry is secure and will be permanent
Every occupation, except those calling for too
much out door exposure or too much muscul
labor, IL open to women, and if she has not
already secured u footing therein the next
census will show that she has found the way :"

No Hurry.
Prom the Philsdelphis Times.


Bummel was depraved a case in his par
ticular line the whole town afforded. In
fact his feats of drinking wero that powerful
and numerous that his name had passed into
proverbial usage. Instead Of comparing the
average convivialist with Bacchus-the god ~
wine-they used TO say rs full ~ Bummel."
At the solicitation of his unfortunate wife the
pastor of the district had frequently tried hard
TO bring him TO realization of his wrong But
owing 20 the fact that he was invariably
supremacy happy on these occasions, his
arguments lost the effect they might have had
had he been in that more receptive or reflective
state OF mind that comes with SOLDERING up.
However, il SO happened that one evening
the minister met him entirely serious aud
sober. Consequently he lost no time in attack
ing him;
"Bummel why don't you be man and give
up this cursed habit Of drinking? DO you
know you are importing body and soul? that
You may die in"
''Ah, il is too late, too late, parson, for me
10 think of changing now"
''Whstr' was tho good mans reply, encour-
aged by this sign OF evident repentance. Par
from il. my boy. IL is never too late 20 reform
do you really mean that" asked the poor
fellow, turning an eager face toward the
preacher.
