NO DANGER OF A REDUCTION

NNE of our agricultural exchanges
" discussing the alleged danger of
a reduction of the purchases made by
foreign nations on account of recent
legislation on meats for foreign ship
ment, says:
Some of the commercial journals
express their fear that foreign nations
will reduce their purchases of Ameri
can products because of the higher
rate of duties to be levied on European
goods, and because of our recent
legislation on meats for foreign ship.
ment. AS Great Britain raises only
so per cent. of the food herpopulation
consumes We fancy she will still buy
American breadstufs and meats.
Where else could Europe secure her
supply Of cotton, oil and lumber 2
W. should retaliate again=t govern
ments which forbid entry to our hogs
or other products. The number of
articles for which we are dependent
upon Europe diminishes yearly. Trade
and commerce to be of value and
permanence must afford mutual ad
vantages to all parties participating
therein.
If the above be true it would seem
that there is, at present. no danger
whatever that Great Britain can quit
buying from us on any account.
Really we have ample markets for all
We can raise OIL anything. The cry
Of overprod 1ction is extremely absurd.
There " will be any overproluc-

shape they are now.

THE WAY THE GEORGIA ALI
ANCE LOOKS AT 1T.

THE people of Georgia take a
l. reasonable and consis ,ent view
of the situation. They claim that as
Alliance men they cannot support
Gov. Gordon for the Senate without
surrendering their position ..as ALI
ance men and stultifying themselves.
The gu Treasury plan is an issue be
fore them. Gov. Gordon has placed
himself against it. They ask the
reasonable and very natural question:
How will it place US, as friends of this
measure, if we vote to make Gov.
Gordon Senator? The answer is, it
will hereafter seal our mouths on this
question. 1t will be said and said
truthfully: "Why, you know that
Gov. Gordon was against your meas,
ure. You regarded his election as of
more Importance than the Sub,Treas
ury plan, and therefore you voted for
him and that was a backdown and
complete yielding of the question and
you now have no right to bring up
that question against him. You sur
rendered the whole question when
you voted for the man whom you
knew was against it, and now keep
still and let's hear no more of it.
And the Georgia Alliance people say
they are not to be caught in this trap.
They are wide awake and the opposi.
ton of Gov. Gordon to their measure
will cost him his seat in the Ameri.
can Senate. The people will not be
trifed with on this great measure, nor
will they surrender it at the bidding
of anybody. 1t IS constitutional and as
the only measure before the people that
promises them relief.

AN MIS- AXE

N our last issue was a circular let.
Il ter of President Polk to the chief
officers of the various farmers organi-
cations of the country. After it had
been published in the National Econo
mast and before the form had bean
distributed, he gave Instructions for
the letter to be struck off in circular
form. The printer, in making up the
form, through an Incompetent sible
mistake, took from some other printed
matter the following paragraph and
put it in the letter, and it was mailed
to the reform press of the country in
this shape:
"The Democrats must carry every
district possible. They cannot aft )rd
to lose one in Louisiana. The men
who are fighting Mr.. BIanchard-or
who oppose any Democratic candi-
date for Congress in this State; the
men who would cause dissensions in
the party ranks to day, or bring about
a split or division, are allies of the Re,
puOlicans, CO operating with Reeds
Congress to oppose and injure the
South. Let them be known for what
tney really are-enemies of white su.
premacy and civilization"
Of course President Polk knew

THE RESULT OF THE SILVER
BILL,

THE Bevier Appeal goes for the
i Silver bill in the following man.
ner:
The new silver law which the p9o
pie rel led to believe would be of
great benefit to them, has proven to
be a miserable failure. Under the
workings the supply of money in cir
culation has diminished rather than
increased and the people are more
than ever at the mercy of Wall street.
Since it went into effect, the Secretary
of the Treasury has been appealed to
to relieve the stringency in the money
market and he to relieve it, has pur-
chased $40, 600, 900 United States
bonds paying nearly So, 600 900 of
premium on them.
But a large number of the people,
however, have not been at all disap
pointed at the way the law works. In
fact they expected nothing better of
it, knowing that a Congress co opposed
mostly of national bankers would not
knowingly let any measure become a
law that would afford relief to the
people. The people need not expect
that the financial question will be
equitably settled while the majority
of u representatives at Washington
are interested in keeping things as
they are.

THE TARIFF,

WYE commence the publication
w this week of a series of five
articles, by Old Fogy, on the tariff.
So far as we know, they are the only
articles on this subject that have not
a partisan tinge. The principles and
deductions are calculated to make ex
IRENE p%artisans re read them. The
tariff from a reformer's standpoint
and not a partisan standpoint is a
novelty.

Things are happening at 0cala. The pro-
posed new party fits in the background, but
fully in view. while the convention adopts as its
platform an amended st. Louis platform. 1t
provides for the free coinage of silver and cur
rency expansion By the issue of treasury notes
without the intervention of banks-,he issue TO
be based on the products of industry. but, de-
tails being omitted. the sub-treasury plan is
neither endorsed nor condemned. This is
significant. Another modification of principles
that seems wise to the lay intellect is the sub
stitution of government regulation for absolute
control and ownership of railway lines and ;ele-
graph companies, but the platform gives the
power to assume such control and ownership
on the failure of the plan of regulation to work

In the three Baltimore districts the vote on
eonferring representation upon women in
the general conference of the Methodist
Church stood: ,4s4 for; 2,373 against
. majority Of Ss9 against representation
BY women. Baltimore votes in the same
vay in which most Of the eastern cities have
decided but in the west the voting is all the
other way and 1t is now thought that the
proposition to admit women to representation
will be carried by the popular vote. The women
are the active working body in the churches.
If they wish this privilege they will undoubt-
edly secure it. To remove the prohibition
against such representation does not put any
woman in the conference who does not desire
to 90. and does not effect voting for women
BY women for such positions, in places where
the feeling ia that these particular services are
better rendered by men. In the eastern
churches whose women have indicated by re-
framing from voting or by voting against
representation BY their sex that on all accounts
they favor men for convention delegates. the
representation will evidently continue to be
male, even il the abstract right be given TO the
women. In the west the privilege. if granted,
will doubtless be utilized to a considerable ex-
tent. But in any event only small percentage.
and that the least seif-sssertve part, Of the
chureh's legislature will be composed of repre-
sentatives of the sex which constitutes over two
thirds in number Of the Methodist membership.
The fight has. however. only begun. 1t will go on
next spring. summer and fall when the annual
conferences meet. These with the General
Conference are the legislative chambers of the
Methodist Church. That Church. which has
shown great courage in the past in dealing with
troublesome questions. will settle this one in a
manner agreeable to the wishes and welfare of
that communion.

PERFUMERY EXTRACTS.
A FEW POINTS AND HINTS WORTH KNOWN

very natural and reasonable question on the
part OF many people is: What are Extracts
and how are they made. and wherein do they
differ from Cologne Waterg'' To answer this
Question as briefly ana clearly possible is the
object Of this short article on ''Perfunery Ex-
tracts" Cologne Water. when made properly
is a blend Of Oloriferous essential oils in pure
spirits or alcohol, technically termed Velvet"
spirits; some Producers include certain gums
spices and periume-aiviny plants along with
extracts of flowers but the risk in attempting
too composite preparation is in making an
odor for the few rather than one that will please
the many.
Extracts are made by gathering the flowers
fresh and when giving their ximum amount
of perfume. They are STEPPED in hot fat and
allowed TO macerate until the fat abstracts the
perfume OF the Hover. This fat is ssain heated
and run on clear into cans and goes into the
trade under the name of ''Pomade." To make
