the farms for loans 10 farmers. at the
same rate per cent that Is TO be paid for
advances on crops. This Is touched on
very gingerly, also, In the open meetings
and in the promulgated platforms OF the
political managers Of tho alliance, but,
as is well known is one OF the bats held
out at the secret meetings OF the lodges.
These were the bribes held out TO the
farmers by the alliance leaders during
the late campaign To get them To ''stick''
TO the ticket put up by the independents.
With these utopian schemes in view by
which vista OF boundless ailuence and
big profits were held up To the gaze of
the agriculturist, suffering greatly from
the low prices produced by the too
abundant crops of last year and the
almost total failure of the crop of the
season of 1850, IL is no wonder that the
tariff was forgotten, that the old party
issues seemed paltry and threadbare.
and that an enthusiasm such as has been
awakened for years attended the meet
ing addressed by the anarchical orators.
Compared 20 the dazzling programme
of getting every farmers hand into the
United States treasury, all other plans
of government look poor indeed. The
utter impracticabilty OF the schemes
will, however, in time develop itself To
the land owners of the country. OF all
the people of the world, the land owner
cannot for any length of time be induced
To play the role Of anarchist and general
confiscator of property. And when the
sub-treasury bubble and the ''issuing-of-
money directly To the people" bubble
burst, down goes the meat house Of the
third party" Its foundations are moon
shine.
So far as the other and more open
planks OF the platform of the alliance
party are concerned, they are not
such as 10 distinguish them from any
other political party. Their statement
that railroads and telegraph companies
should be controlled and perhaps finally
owned by the government, is not original
or distinctive, but is the common prop
erty of all parties. The same can be
said of all the rest of the platitudes they
put forth.
But the proposition TO divide all the
money that can be coined or printed by
the government, among one class of la
borers in the country, n class that
monopolizcs the land of the country al
ready, is peculiar and distinctive and is
what has given the manipulators OF the
alliance their immense influence over The
hnaginations of the farmers of the west
and the planters OF the south.

AS OTHERS SEE US.
New YOrIl Press. |

The London Times is not usually re-
garded by patriotic Americans as good
authority i'm American politics. The
Times wanted Cleveland elected; so did
Lord Sackville-West, but Americans
voted the other way, and Cleveland was
defeated. The Times opposed the Me
Kinley bill. and expressed great JOY
when the result of the election showed a
democratic majority in the house OF rep
resentatives presumably antagonistic 10
the measure. But the staff correspond
ent OF the Times in Philadelphia has the
honesty to tell the people of England
just how much the tariff had to do with
the republican defeat. He describes
as two prominent causes OF disaster the
renewed solidty of the south and the
Farmers alliance in the west. Then he
adds:
The third cause. generally prevalent
throughout the country, and equally poten-
tial was the new tariff, not so much on ac-
count OF its direct influence, because IL had
not actually got into practical effect. but
through the avidity with which every shop
keeper took advantage OF IL 10 mark up his
goods. This advantai was made almost
the very day the bill went into effect. and
was universal, covering everything, includ-
ing many articles not affected by the bill.
The ''tarifl" was generally assigned as the
reason OF the advance and two or three
weeks OF this sort OF thing got good many
voters into prime condition to knock down
the tariff IL possible. This influence was
universal, being particularly effective in
New England and New York, as well as the
west, and to 1t, with the powerful aid given
by the importing class, whose business the
new tariff curtails is due the Tammany
democratic victory in New York city.
The correspondent of The Thlnderer Is
altogether too sweeping in his assertion
of general advance in prices but he is
undoubtedly correct in his statement
that the tariff itself did not produce that
advance, but that it was in many in
stances deceptive and fraudulent pre-
tense, intended to affect the election.
Regarding Mckinley the London Times
writer says: ''IIe is one of the few re-
publicans who have gained prestige. He
was defeated for recollection. but made a
remarkable run in the district that was
'gerrymandered' 10 defeat him, and he
will probably be elected by the repub-
licans next year governor of Ohio. as
they hold the state by good majority
on the direct tariff issue"
This testimony in the columns of a
great foreign newspaper, well known TO
be hostile TO the republican party of the
United States and its protection policy,
is worth reading just now.

POLITICAL NOTES,

THE Farmers alliance appears TO be
greasing itself for the purpose of being
swallowed by the democratic party.
THE Cleveand-Hill vendetta may
have been settled but the fact remains
that Gov. Hill is the kind of a politician
who alwrys carries sand-bag under his
overcoat.
SENATOR VOORHEES, says he thanks
God for newspaper men," and the latter
certainly have reason to be thankful for
him, as his absurditics so often make
them laugh.
PRESIDENT HARRISON says Il. was "a
cOncatenation OF circumstances" that de-
feated the republican party In the No
vember elections. This may be regarded
as a sly attempt TO so state the case that
the democrats can't understand IT,
THE accession of Gov. Tillman, OF
South Carolina, to power puts the lower
social stratum in the palmetto state on
top. He was not and is not member
OF South Carolina's four hundred. He
is, in fact, what the French OF the old
DAYS used to call gentleman of the
pavement" Under the peculiar con-
ditions prevailing in that ultra aristo-
cratic commonwealth this Is almost as
sweeping a revolution as that was which
put the people in power in France q
century ago on the ruins of the Bourbon
regime.
The true northerner., 1890-12-17

sweeping congratulations OF this sort on
any single triumph, however extended
and overwhelming. After the great
victory In 1910 the wings seemed TO
be justified In looking forward
to long period OF power;
yet defeat came to them two years later
in the congressional elections. and four
years subsequently in the presidential
canvass. In 1852 the wings were al
most swept out OF existence by the demo-
Gratis, but the house Of representatives
chosen in 1854 was controlled by the ele-
ments opposed To the democracy, and In
1856 these elements, which had then
taken the name OF republican, missed
the presidency by what in sporting
phrase is termed scratch" Other
elections, before and since these dates
tell similar story OF the changes which
two or three years may reveal in the at
titude of the people toward the great
parties.
The elections OF 1891, however, can
not fail To afford considerable light as TO
the chances OF the parties In the can
vass of the succeeding year. Many of
the states will elect governors or other
state officers twelve months hence. In
several of these-New York, Ohio and
Iowa in particular-the contest promises
to be animated and exciting. These
three states will choose governors, and
the successful man in each, democrat or
republican, will probably be looked
upon as presidential possibility. This
consideration will cause each party to
do its best, and make the con-
test more than ordinarily exciting
and interesting. National questions, of
course, under such circumstances, will
figure conspicuously in the canvass, and
on the result fair judgment OF the tenn
per of the people toward the leading or
ganizations may be based. II. so far as
regards the states which vote, the re-
publicans recover most of the ground
which they lost this year, the conclusion
that they will recover all of it in 1892
and carry the country will be reasonable.
But if, on the other hand, the democrats
hold most or half of the states hitherto
republican which they won in 1890, re-
publican prestige will suffer and repub-
lican chances for victory will not be
flattering.
The true northerner., 1890-12-17
THE THIRD PARTY QUESTION
[Lincoln JOurnal.l

The national alliance" has refused to
countenance the meeting of a conven-
tion for the establishment of a third
party. The southern brigadiers now
controlling that body explain that the
southern members of the alliance will
never under any circumstances unite
with the republican party. They have
provided against that by passing the
resolution against any legislation tend
ing TO secure fair count at congress
sional elections. They say that there is
little doubt that the democratic party
will adopt anything that the alliance
wants it TO, and so it will be super
fuous TO establish a third party
when the democrats are all ready to
come in so far as the south is con-
cerned. Then they further believe that
the northern democrats are as willing as
Barkis was and that the next campaign
will see the democracy and the alliance
marching hand in hand to victory and
the republicans beaten out of sight.
This Is the outcome that the Journal
has predicted. The alliance was started
for no other purpose than to split the
republicans in few northern states and
give the democrats an easy victory in
1892. But there is many slip betwixt
the cup and the lip and the probability
is that the republican farmers of the
northwest will not fall into the embraces
OF the southern brigadiers with quite the
facility expected.

M'KINLEY AND MUTTON.
New York Press !

Ex-Secretary Robert III. Lamborn OF
the American Iron and Steel association
says that while the English manufact-
urers were investigating oar resources
during their recent tour OF the west and
south he met three of them who were
thinking of establishing their works
here; one, a manufacturer of finished
iron; another, carpet manufacturer,
and the third, brewer. AT least one of
these is to be directly credited TO the
Mckinley bill, which increases the duty
on carpet wool, which can be grown here.
The carpet manufacturer knows that
the supply Of carpet wool will be ample
in any event for the carpet trade. The
fact is that under the old carpet wool
duties great deal of carpet wool was
used in making clothing, To the eXclu-
sion of American one-quarter blood
woods. THE decrease in the sheep in
the United States during the last few
years, says Justice, Bateman & Co., of
Philadelphia, a recognized authority on
wool. ''has been almost exclusively in
those yielding coarse wool; they are
what are known as mutton sheep, and
the decrease in these flocks is thus also
decreasing the food supply of the United
States"
Workingmen, we believe, will not fail
to note the point that, in spite of the
free trade howl about taxed carpet
woods and dearer carpets" the McKin-
ley bill is actually encouraging foreign
capitalists TO come here and make more
carpets, and that these very carpet wool
duties are likely to make mutton cheaper
as well as carpets. If Maj. Mckinley
were never to enter public life again he
would be indicated with a vindication
of which any public man might be proud,
when his bill should have cheapened the

the ruin of himself and others, but
rather in the repeal OF unnecessary du-
ties and the scaling down OF those which
are too high TO the moderate protection
level, and in placing the raw materials
of manufacturers, such as wool, coal,
iron ore, lumber, etc, on the free list.
Then seek for larger markets for the
farmer, according 20 Blaino's reciprocity
scheme. These reforms will cheaper the
cost OF the necessaries of LIE, and at the
same time raiso the market price of his
products, reduce the rate OF interest,
make loanable capital more abundant,
and create prosperity throughout the
entire country for every interest, farm
ing, manufacturing, and commercial.
