LOOKING TOWARD 1892.

What will the alliance do in 1922
asked the reporter of the Washing
ton Post.
alt will not then fight within
Democratic and Republican party
lines, as it has been forced to do this
year. 1t is not a side show for eth
er party. There is yet plenty of time
to talk about candidates, but the is
sue will be currency reform. 1t was
the desire to relieve the Strngency
of money that actnated the farmers
in their votes. They held the Re
publican party responsible. and
swept it out of power. This issue
had more to do with the result than
the Mckinley bill. know this. be
cause hundreds OF letters received
daily from the alliances give me
facts direct from the people.
awe want s400,000,000 added to
the amount now in circulation. That
is just IS more per capita. A letter
which | just received from Secretary
Window shows that the amount OF
money per capita in this country is
500. while in France it is s57. In
England it is 500, and in Germany
so France is the most prosperous
nation in Europe, and this country
will once again experience the good
old times when we get more money
in circulation. We are not greenback
infationists. We do not ask an
irredeemable currency, and, besides
this the Greenbackers failed because
they could get millions in the Treas
ury and not a cent out of it.
"This currency reform is to be the
issue of the next campaign. and il
James G.. Blaine will speak as brave
~ for an increased currency as he
did for reciprocity and lower tariff
on the real npceSsaries of life. be will
be an exceeding popular man in 1892
and he will meet with no unklnd
ness at the hands of the Farmers
Alliance.-InterUicto 2ciM Secretary

THE SNAll'S MOUTH.
It Is Armed With Remarkable saw-Liks
Tongue.

tongue
The mouth of the snail is armed with
q very formidable instrument, in the
shape OF a remarkable saw-like tongue.
Probably you have. at some time or an
other, noticed how cleanly cut are the
edges OF leaf upon which a snail has
been RECALLING himself. 1t is difficult to
imagine how such a soft and fabby
looking animal can have made such
clean incisions. But with an examina-
tion of the cutting instrument concealed
in his mouth, wonder on this score van
ishes. It resembles long, narrow rib
bon, coiled in such a manner that only
a small portion Of il is called into use at
once. Thickly distributed over the en-
tire surface of this ribbon are an i'm
mense number Of excessively sharp lit
tie teeth, designed in a manner which
admirably adapts them TO the purpose
for which they are intended. The guam
tity Of these teeth is incredible-one
species, for instance, has been indisput-
ably proved to possess as many as thirty
thousand Of them. The reason for their
disposition on a coiled, ribbon-like sur
face lies in the fact that by use they be-
come worn away. As this happens, the
ribbon is uncoiled, and tho teeth which
before wrapped up in it. at the back of
the snairs mouth, come forward to take
the place of hose which have served
their turn. The upper part of the mouth
consists OF horny surface against
which the sharp-toothed tongue works.
a leaf, which is to be operated upon, is
caught between the two. and subjected
to a regular file-like rssping on the part
OF the tongue. So effective an instru-
ment does this form, that the tough
leaves Of the lily NAV often be found to
be entirely rasped off by it.-Longmsn
