Alabama Alliance Cotton Growers Are to Gs
S35 Advanced on Their Product

NASHVILLE, TENN, Oct. "a Montgomery
special says: General Manager Gather OF the
Alliance exchange in this city is proceeding in
painstaking and methodicsl way to advance to
farmers money on their cotton in Alabama One
thing is certain, he is in dead earnest about this
matter, ana is displaying great energy. shrewd-
ness and sagacity in undertaking of such gigan-
tic proportions. he nasthe money to advance
to farmers per bale on 900. 00J bales, and all
he asks is that farmers hold their cotton for his
agents. In this weeks issue of the Alliance
Herald is published an important notice, ad-
dressed to Alliance warehousemen and to
every individual alliance man throughout Ala
bamA, signed John B. Harris, manager of the
cotton depart ent OF the exchange. Mr.. Harris
states that he is daily receiving more letters
than he can answer from farmers desiring an
advance on their cotton. and adds that ~ wish
TO say to all at the same tine, that when Won
have cotton to sell get it in lots of 100 to 900
bales, and while you bulking it, place it
where there is railroad station agent, aad tell
this agent to write to his general freight agent
and give you the through freight rate on cotton
from inst particular station to Liverpool, and
when you have ihi, rate write or wire me. Then
can tell you how much l can pay you on mid

THE AMERICAN TARIFF.
1t Works HardshipS Among the Work
ing Glasses OF Germany and
Austria.
German Socialists Spreading Their Most Ad-
vEnced theories and Demanding
Their Political Rights.
German Socialism.
Copyrighted by United Press

BERLIN, Oct. 4.-While the German
emperor is making merry in the company
of the Austrian kaiser, the Socialists are
raising the standard OF agitation in his
rear. Freed since Tuesday last from the
operation of the iron laws which Bis
marck had contrived for them, they are
spreading broadcast the most advanced
theories Of Socialism, combined with a
demand for those political rights which
are still denied TO the people of Germany.
The new situation Is viewed
with alarm by the manufacturing and
property holding classes. On the other
hand Bismarck, who has always averred
that the Socialist agitation was far
more serious menace to the empire than
any Eastern question, is said to be well
pleased with the growing apprehension
among those whose interests make them
conservative. There is no doubt that
the Socialists will he allowed liberal
reign for time. but any direct attack
upon the constituted authority, whether
by speech or act, will be promptly met.
EFFECTS OF THE M'KINLEY BILL.
A Vienna dispatch says that Germany
and Austria have come to a substantial
agreement TO discriminate against ex-
ports from the United States, aud that
Italy, the third member of the triple
alliance, will probably join the move
ment. The accession of Holland TO the
arrangement Is certain, an economic
alliance against North America having
been first suggested by that country.
Both in Germany and Austria indus
trial conditions have been much dis
turbed by the new American tariff
bill, and many thousands of working
people heretofore employed on goods for
the American market are out of employ
meLt with wiRter close at hand. Thous-
ands of these are preparing 10 emigrate.
but many who have not the means to
em'-rate cannot escape suffering on the
continent. The prospect for the poorer
classes this winter is very bad.
IN ENGLAND.
English industry is now beginning to
ieel the effects of the new American tar
III law. Manufacturers were kept busy
up TO the latest possible moment In max
Ink goods for America TO be shipped in
advance of the new law going into oper-
anon, and many are now busy
In filling orders which meanwhile
accumulated from England and from
IorelGu countries other than the United
states. This will keep such establish
ments alive for several months to come,
est this good fortune is not univeral and
! rom SO many quarters come evidence of
commercial disturbances more or less
serious IN their effects. .2

MANSFIELD, TEX. Oct. 4.--The south
bound Fort Worth and New Orleans
brought down q number of the candi-
dates for county and district offices to-
day and they spent the time in renew
ing old acquaintanceship and mixing
with the people. Owing TO some con-
fusion in the announcement of the time
of speaking and in the short notice given
not many people were present, but
those who did come were deeply
interested in the short speeches mad e.
At 2:30 Hon. James w. Swayne, candi-
date for representative, addressed the
people in a clear and foroible manner.
Mr.. Swayue declared openly for the
commission amendment and showed By
facts and figures that the railroads had
Disseminated against Texas. He prom
ised that he would do all in his power to
pass such laws as were needed. Mr..
Swayne's speech was well received and
heartily applauded.

bill. He says III substance that Great
Britain cannot longer afford to throw
her markets open to countries which place
an embargo on British productions and
that he will urge the question of fair

Eession of parliament.
FRANCE AND ITALY.
The relations between France and
Italy are far from happy. The French
press has for long time INDUCED in I'M
spPring attacks on Italy while the Ital-
ians, on the other baud, have main tanned
a friendly tone until now they SO EN- to
be thoroughly aroused and ready for re-
prisals in word at least. The certainty
that the triple alliance will be re-
newed and that compact has been
made to renew it, undoubtedly
adds to the bitterness of the French ami
mostly. The French papers do not even
spare King Humbert, whom they hold
up TO ridicule in carcature. This is
said to be keeuly felt by the king, who,
while very democratic in his habits,
is extremely sensitive TO lack
of respect. He is also pop
ular. He has no guards about
him. He drives himself on his own dog
cart. or whatever vehicle takes the place
of it, and he is simpler in his WAYS than
almost any wealthy man of his realm.
This very simplicity is held up TO jest by
the press OF Republican France. While
there is no cause within sight for open
hostilities, the situation Is inflammable.
