WE HAVE THE VOTES.

We clipped the following from the
alliance column of the Kio,cd County
Times, and publish it for the benefit of
our alliance readers:
This is the way prominent Mis-
souri, banker talks about the farmers
alliance, and he clearly knows what
he is talking about: Il am in sec
tioD where it is in full operation.
1t has come up like a cyclone. Six
months ago there was not a member
in my county. To-day they have an
enrOllment of over one-half the voters
of the county and three-fourths of the
voters of the district. They mean
business, and know they have reason
to come to gether for common action.
l am director of bank and take c.
casion to observe the loans we make.
| have found, time and again. that
loans have been made to farmers on
mortgages to pay their taxes. The
farmers believe that the railroads and
| the corporations and the wealthy men
of the country ale not paying their
share of the taxes, when the land will
not produce enough to pay taxes on it.
They are about right, too. There is
something wrong about it. The farm
ers' alliance people have a lOng-head-
ed leadership. They select the best
men among themselves as leaders in
each county, and farmers are pretty
hard-headed and level-headed old fell
lows, as a rule. 1t is entirely differ
ent from the labor movement. In the
latter the associated members were
men who got their living by days
wages. They were subject to temp
tations. Their leaders could be
bought if the price WAS large enough.
The farmer combination is too strong
for that. Financial temptation will
not reach them. Then, too, they know
their power. There are 1000, 600 men
in the United States, according to the
census of 1880, engaged in farming,
and only 1900, 900 engaged in all
p Irsuits. The farmers are, therefore,
half the entire voting population.
They can reyolHtionize the entire gov
ernment-executiye legislative and
judicial. They viii capture congress
this fall as sure as fate. The chances
are that the labor interests will be al
lied with them in their movement.
If they stand together they can carry
nearly every state in the Union. They
are banded together for political ac-
tion to secure greater favor to them
selves as class in legislation, and
they have the votes to get it,

A Romance Spoiled. .

ROmance Spoiled.
Two lo-ers went to the base ball game
Que afternoon in May.
He was a crank" she never had seen
Professional players plsY.
He faithfully tried to explain it all
She tried to understands;
But the more no talke 1, the less she knew
Why he thought the gamo was grand
He cheered, he danced, he yelled Hi! hill"
She calmly looked about;
And If any one made three base hit,
She asked IL the man was out
She tired her best to keep the score.
But when the game was done
He found that whenever foul was hit
She had given The man n ran.
1t dampened his ardor TO have her say;
"why doesn't the umpire bat?''
And each question she asked diminished his
love,
Though he wouldn't have owned to that.
TIL ut last she asked in her guiess way,
.whaeh side is playing ?"
He broke the engagement then ami there,
And now they don't even bow.

Drawing a Conclus,on Too Hastily

The eloquent temperancelecturer pau
sed, wiped his prespiring brow, and
said impressiVely to the man on the
front seat, who had listened with the
deepest interest to the discourse and
evidently was touched by its pathos and
argument: My friend, it is never
reform. There is hope for the most
hopeless. The past is beyond your
reach, but you can control your future.
You cannot call back the enormous
sum it probably has cost you to paint
your nose the color it is now, but
''All it cost me to paint my nose as
you see it, - said the man in the front
seat, rising up, s'was S4.6O, including
railroad and boat hire. l went fishing

Our History.

Shall unknown centuries read in us
the same persistent blindness that we
read in fallen nations? Shall Ameri-
ca ever be the covering thing that
Italy is to-day, as we read Greece and
Rome i'll their debauchery and degre-
dation; shall other nations read the
once grandest and proudest republic
of the then known historyT Shall
they read her in her prisons and poor
houses, in her asylums, in her tramps'
and paupers, her burglars and cut
tLroats, her rioters and anarchists, in
her gambling dens and brothels, in the
wall of broken hearts and ruined,
lives?
Shall they see America in these and
say, ''Behold the children of the Rum
King, conceived in medical prescrip-
tions, brought forth in the occasional
glass, and nurtured to the hideous
destruction in the rum shops. and.
brothels.''
Such will undoubtedly be our place
in history, unless we kilt-not stifie
or regulate-but unless we literally
kill and destroy the fiend with which!
all the nations of the past, and our
own for fifty years have been trying to-
compromise.

THE grip that the sugar trust has
on the Republican party is something
tremendous. The party dosen't dare
disobey its master however much UNI
popularity it risks incurring. The or
iginal Mckinley bill reduced all duties
to point that left the refiners a pro-
lection of one-fifth of cent a pound.
They protested that this was not
enough, and when the bill emerged
from the ways and means committee
it had increased this protection to two
fifths of a cent by increasing the rates
on refined sugar and taking all duty off
the raw sugar. But two-fifths was not
quite enough. and the proposal to admit
sugars betwee No. Is and No. Is duty
free was highly objectionable to the
trust because these sugars are clean
enough for use without refining, and
was determined to collect its toll on
every pound of sugar eaten by All
American. And when the bill reported
| from the Senate finance committee II
put the sugars from No. 3 to No. 1e
on the dutiable list and increased the
protsction for the refiner to three -fifths
Of ceetza pound. Thus the sugal

TACOMA's NEW BONDS WORTHLESS.
New York Bankers Refuse Them on De-
cision of Judge Dillon.


TACOMA, Dec. 13.-[Special. AT meet
ing of the city council this evening, the
following telegram from n. w. Harris &
Co., dated at New York, showing that the
city bonds recently issued to the amount
of $40 900 are worthless, was read:
Judge Dillon decides that your bonds, IL deliv-
cred now, are illegal and void ON three separate
points. In ascer,aining the Indebtedness all
must be included, whether warrants issued or
not, including street improvements aud sewer
warrants The bonds must conform 10 the city
charter and laws, when the bonds are delivered,
regardless of the date of the bonds or sale"
CITY Clerk Hill, now in New York, tele-
graphs Mayor Handle:
Harris declines the bonds.
The matter was turned over to the
finance committee.
The present city Indebtedness, approxi-
matelv $451 900, is triie in excess of the
IL per cent. limit fixed by the city charter
on the taxable property of $50, 00000 Two
hundred thousand dollars of the $40 600 in
bonds issued, is needed for the city hall,
the foundation for which is now being
laid. This work must stop until arrange
ments can be made to dispose of the bonds
by raising the limit of Indebtedness
in the charter. Bonds will probably
issue for disposing of the present indebted
ness. Forty thousand dollars of the out
standing bonds are held by one banking
house in this city. The reason why the
limit of Indebtedness was placed at * per
cent. in the charter was the understanding
that the street and sewer improvements
did not constitute part of the city in
debtedness. This oversight, resulting in
inability to place the bonds, will hamper
the city improvements for few months.
The council failed TO elect a member to
fill the vacancy caused by the resignation
of o. B. Hayden, there being a tie vote
for A. Ii. Smith and C. II. Clement.
