The French government seems deter
mined to exclude American goods from
French markets to the same extent that
French goods are prohibited from entering
our ports. This is result of high protec-
ton which the advocates of the Mckinley
bill never contemplated. If carried into eff
feet it will still further lower the prices of
American farm products, by causing more of
a glut in our home markets. The specious
cry of protectionists for "a home market for
home products" is not the policy for the far
mer. Markets everywhere for our agricultu-
raj produce is what is needed

usurper HAYES seated in his place. The con-

usurper Hayes seated in his place. The con-
dition of affairs is different now. The peo-
pie of this country do not want legislation
which will unsetlle business and lead to
strife, and they will hurl from power any
party which attempts it.
The force bill may be passed by the SEN
ate. President Harrison may sign II. But
it can never be put in operation against the
will of any State. When the federal bayonet
in disguise or openly, is used TO control an
election in any Southern State the liberties
of every other State in the Union will be in
great danger. The safety and rerpetuity of
the Republic lies in guarding the rights Of
all the States which compose it.

The Force Bill.

The Republican leaders seem to be deter
mined to pass force bill of some kind which
will enable them to set aside the popular will
at congressional and Presidential elections
and retain the hold they now have
of the reins Of government. The Lodge bill
was too bold and open in its provisions for
carrying federal elections by the bayonet to
please the Republican Senate, and according
ly bill, equally obnoxious and dangerous
TO the peace of the country. has been offered
in Its place. In the House bill the glitter of
the bayonet is apparent. In the Senate bill
1t is thinly disguised. The one is the mail
clad armed hand. The other is the same
hand gloved, with weapon ready to be drawn.
Both bills are utterly at variance with the
spirit and principles of our republican form
of government.
1t Is intended that any force bill which may
be passed shall be operative only in the
South, and both of the bills under considera-
ton are artfully drawn SO as to affect that
part of the country alone. No matter which
of these partisan measures may become law
the attempt to enforce 1t will lead to scenes
of disorder, if not of violence, and be disas-
trous to the business interests of the whole
country.
No wonder the Southern States view with
alarm the probability of the passage of
measure which may result in a paralysis of
their growing industries and weaken the ties
of business and friendship, with which they
are being fast bound with the States north of
Mason and Dixon's line. No wonder North
ern manufacturers and capitalists who have
invested their money in Southern railroads,
Southern mines and Southern cities have ap-
pealed to Congress to stay its hands in the
rash endeavor to rekindle the fires of section
al hate which time had nearly extinguished.
The leaders of the Republican party can
not fail to see the growing discomfort In the
country at the determined effort to perpet-
uate tariff the operations of which are
more unjust to the mass of the people of the
country than the laws passed by King
George and his Parliament which caused the
American Revolution.
These men dare not trust to fair elections,
and they have therefore conceived plot by
which majority of Republican congress
men and Republican President may be
elected, under the forms of law. They trust
to the same ready compliance of the Demo-
Gratis as In 1876, when Samuel j. Tilden, the
choice of majority Of the States and ma
jority Of the people for President, was rob-
bed of his honors bya conspiracy and the

The Maryland Farmers Alliance.

The Maryland State Farmers Alliance met
in Baltimore on Tuesday. The counties re-
presented were Anne Arundel, Baltimore,
Charles, St. Mary's, Calvert, Howard, Prince
Georges, Talbot, Dorchester, Caroline and
the District of Columbia.
On Wednesday the proceedings included
resolution for the establishment of an Alli-
ance Exchange, for the purchase and sale of
farmers products. A spirited address was
made by DR.. M. j. Elzey, of Howard county.
He attributed the depression of farming in
terests and the working classes to the COM
binations of rich men who are seeking to de-
grade and enslave the producers. With re-
gard to the position of the Alliance in poll
tics he said he believed taxes should be raised
on foreign merchandise but the Mckinley
bin does not reach the desires ofthe Alliance.
Neither does the force bill suit them for they
are party of peace. This is their attitude
towards the Republican party.
Speaking of the Democratic party he said
"Says the Democrat: We have tariff reform.
Well, that is one thing the alliance wants. The
ST. Louis PLATFORM Calls IOr III, ana we STAND 0y
our platform. Civil-service reform is our
measure, says the Democrat. Well, the alliance
believes that is good thing if properly carried
out, but that it ever will be has not yet been
demonstrated. But we are for civil service
We want ballot reform, says the Democrat
The alliance believes In that also, but 1t don't
believe in it as a federal measure. 1t is matter
that belongs to the States, and we think should
be regulated by them. SO far the Democratic
party and the alliance get along swimmingly
together. We agree on everything. Then what
is the trouble? The Democratic officeholders
make the mistake of thinking that they are the
Democratic party. These we will turn down, do
away with machine politics and put into their
places better men and supply better methods
for its management. We will do this by going
into the primaries and eecting men whom we
can trust. We are not going to create third
party. We will have forty members repr esent-
ing our interests in the next house of Represen-
tives, and no legislation can pass that body
without the consent of these members"
