FRANK MEAD'S LETTER.

In Which is Discussed the Financial Col
lapse and Its Causes.
Un ion. Special Correspondence.
There should be no longer any doubt
that there is something rotten in the
financial situation Of the country Each
recurring issue of the daily newspapers
announce the failure of some CONNER
cial house or the suspension of some
banking institution. Old industries are
cutting down expenses by the discharge
OF employees right in the beginning of
a cold winter, and the projectors of
other industries are announcing that
their projects will be suspended until
the financial outlook is more encourage
ing. Meantime the doctors disagree as
to the causes that have precipitated
this condition of affairs. Democratic
statesmen, anxious only for the success
of their own party, emphasize the effect
of the ''robber tariff" enacted last sum-
mer by a Republican congress. Repub-
lican statesmen retaliate by asserting
that the tariff bill is all right, and that
the present disastrous state of affairs is
largely due to the scheming Of avari-
cious importers and free traders who
are drawing money from the channels
of trade with view to bring the tariff
into disrepute, so that Democratic
victory may be assured at the national
election in 1892. The London Times
asserts that 1.-THE monetary system of
the United States is in a muddle, and
that this condition of affairs is due to
piecemeal legislation by unprincipled
Legislators. Hon. Chauncey M. Depew
proclaims that 1.-THE business enter
prises of this steam and electric age of
manufactured values and commercial
exchanges, make the currency of the
country utterly incapable of meeting
the demands of legitimate trade" And
so the ball of responsibility is tossed
backward and forward, while the men
to whose hands the welfare of the ma
tion has been entrusted are blindly
seeking for a remedy.
Meantime while financiers and states
men wrangle, the poor ''that we have
always with US" suffer and starve. 1t
would seem, however, if this genera
tion which boasts of having reached the
highest tide of the worlds civilization
cannot discover a remedy for financial
and commercial cataclysms, that a por-
tion, at least, of the world s intelligence
should be induced in some manner to
turn its attention away from the vulgar
striving after personal wealth long
enough to consider and study the laws
The Princeton union., 1890-12-18

It is somewhat surprising that when
a politician who has been kicked out of
every other party, and who is still
thirsting for power, always saddles him
self upon the farmers. Of course, in the
large States the wild-eyed labor agita-
tor takes the place of the demagogue,
who, with hay-seed in his hair, at
tempts to secure public places and Of
fetal pap through the ignorance of the
farmers, and by deluding them with
some such fantastic scheme as the
pending sub-treasury bill. 1t is so
strange that such an Intelligent class Of
people as the farmers of the northwest
ern States are should be caught by this
kind of chaff, and are ready to desert
the best friends they have in order to
follow the leadership of those who have
never accomplished anything for them
selves or for anybody else. Occasion
ally the legislative committee of the
Farmers Alliance in Washington has
a visitor in the person of a long haired,
obscure Individual, who is in some way
at the head of the Farmers Alliance of
some particular State, and with him in
the background, they go to the con-
gressional committee and point to him
as the earnest advocate of the cause
which they represent, urging in pa
thetic tones the necessity Of class legis-
lation which will benefit the farmer.
This man goes home and tells his peo-
pie what great things the legislative
committee is doing for them, and they
believe it. One has to be in Washing
ton to understand the amount of deceit
practiced upon farmers of the whole
country by the so-called and self-styled
leaders of the Farmers movement.
| It is observed moreover that the nor
thern Farmers Alliance people, who
met with their southern brethren in
Florida, became the tail of the Demo
crat dog, and were lined up in oppo-
sition to the pending election bill and
voted a resolution denouncing the
measure. 1t was shown beyond ques-
tion that the Alliance was in the hands
of scheming politicians, working for
their own ends, and without thought of
the benefits to be derived from the
united action and demand for legisla-
tion which would be Of some real bene-
fit. AS the people become educated
they become more disgusted with the
present Farmers Alliance movement.

The Federal elections bill, which
was designed to give the colored people
an opportunity to votefor congressman
and president, will be talked to death
before the end Of the session, besides
the there are q large number Of representa-
tives who do not want to see iJ pass.
1t is generally supposed that the Min
nesota senators do not look with much
favor upon this bill.
The Princeton union., 1890-12-18

The leaders of this Farmers Alliance
movement-the men who remain in
Washington, and call themselves the
legislative committee of the Farmers
Alliance, who receive large salaries,
and large sums for lobbying purposes
are known to be the worst class Of polit-
ical hacks, who have tried to ride into
power in one party or another, and who
upon having been found out have been
discharged as unworthy of the respect
of the people. It was observed in the
recent convention in Florida that
nearly all the prominent officers were
subject to charges, and nearly all were
placed on the defensive in one way or
another.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

How Farmers are Imposed Upon by Schem-
ing Demagogues-How the Bad Indians
are Coddled by the governmel't-No
Tariff Tinkering this Session.
Union Special Correspondence.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec 13, 1890.
The Farmers Alliance craze has
struck Washington with the vigor, but
not with quite so much effect as it did
Minnesota last fall. The returning
delegates from the convention at Ocala,
Florida, stop here on their way home,
and try to impress their ideas upon the
members of congress, and especially to
leave the idea that the movement is
far greater than has ever been &C
knowledgel. The Farmers craze here
in Washington has taken the particu-
lar form of advocating the sub-treas-
ury bill, so called, but which is wild
fantastic proposition made to impress
the farmer with it's Importance, and
the necessity of electing these dema-
gogue leaders to congress in order to
pass such legislation and put it into ef-
feet. It is not possible that one farmer
out of fifteen who is shouting for this
bill, and voting in his Alliance, or
sending petitions to congress for it's
passage, fully understands what it is.
It is a proposition to issue money on
farm products, so per cent of their
value. There is no guarantee or
stability about it to protect the govern
ment, or in any way reimburse the
government in case the products should
depreciate or become utterly Worthless
This bill would not reach the very
poorest classes, but only those farmers
who raise crops and who have stuff to
sell. The scheme is so wild and i'm
practicable that it will never become a
law, and yet a vast deal of buncome is
being raised upon the strength of it,
It is a scheme to catch the gudgeons,
and during the last campaign it seems
to have reached a great many in nor
thern Minnesota.
The Princeton union., 1890-12-18

There will not be any tariff legisla-
tion this session except to correct few
errors that were unintentional and
clerical when the bill was engrossed
preparatory to it's final passage. The
representatives generally feel that they
should give the Mckinley bill a fair
trial, believing that it has done the
most damage that was possible, and if
there is any good in it it must be
brought out before the election in 1892.
1t is also quite likely if there are bene-
fits to accrue, and there must be some,
the country should have the benefit of
them, it having had all the disadvant-
age during the early months of it's ex-
istence as law.
The Princeton union., 1890-12-18

1t would seem from the reports rela-

1t would seem from the reports rela-
tive to the Indians that this country
is again shaken from center to circum-
ference on account of the unjust treat
ment OF the dirty redskins who have so
long harassed the people of the western
frontier. There are some Indians who
should receive their just dues, but
every effort put forth by congress in
this matter seems to be in favor of
those Indians who have caused the
most trouble and who killed the most
white settlers. It would appear that
there is little use for an Indian to come
to the government for relief of any
kind unless he has a number of scalps
dangling in his belt. The policy of the
government seems to encourage the
savage tribes, and to refuse to carry
out it's agreements with those who have
always been friendly to the govern
ment.

Danger oft Becoming General.

CHICAGO, June 26.-There is danger,
unless the Illinois Central strike is soon
settled, that it will spread to other roads.
The 'Big Four" road, which has track
age arrangements with the Illinois Cen
tral is finding itself unable to get freight
into the city, and has made arrangements
with the Chicago and Eastern Illinois,
and 1T is suspected that the Illinois Cen
trsl is doing the same thing. The East
ern Illinois men refused to handle any OF
the "Big Four's" cars. This has caused
another block on the Illinois Central
tracks and large quantities of fruits and
berries are sidetracked at various points
and are fast rotting. Officials of the road
have issued an order to sell these goods
out ss fast as possible. Committees of
train men from several roads, including
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul and
Chicago, st, Paul & Kansas City roads,
have offered to make the strike general
unless the trouble is settled. Supt. Rus
sell was formerly connected with these
roads, and they say he proved so obnox-
ious that he was forced of of these lines

Organization from Miss willard.
Dies MorSEs. Ia, Oct. l6-There was q
warm time in the state convention of the
Women's Christian Temperance Union to-
day. The non-partisan question was
brought up, and Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, who
with others left the national convention
last year, warmly championed a non-par-
tisan course. There was q bitter discus.
sion, in which some of her opponents at
tackled her for sympathies with the Re-
publican party. Mrs. Foster replied that
she. as an American woman. chung to her
right to exercise her liberties under
the constitution. She was an intense Re-
publican. A woman could be an intense
Democrat and yet do non-partisan work
for temperance. A lady arose and asked
if a woman's opinion as partisan should
not be recognized in this convention, and
Mrs. Foster replied emphaticaliy, mo:
there are absolutely no parties in this CON.
vention." Finally, after an all-day stYug.

identified with the national union. headed
by Miss Willard. This was carried By a
vote of BIS to s. The dissenters withdrew
