is MIR. MILLS INFALEIBLEP
written for The Advocated


II has pleased the Kansas City Times TO
say that "The article Of Mr.. Mills on the
tariff in the North AmertcaR ReUie,o is the
ablest contribution TO tariff literature that
has appeared for some time. As an
answer to Mr.. Blaine 1t is conclusive, and
as an exposition Of the necessity of tariff
reform It is unanswerable. Mr.. Mills has
fairly earned the right to place In the
front rank Of democratic statesmen"
In the face Of such reputation as chat
enjoyed by Mr., Mills, It may be pre-
sumptiOus and foolhardy for "mcyo no
body" to attempt TO question the logic or
traverse the conclusions, employed and
arrived at, by Mr.. Mills in the article in
question. Yet; at the risk Of being
laughed at for my pains, l shall venture
to endeavor to show that his logic Is lame
and contradictory and his conclusions un-
warranted by the facts in the case.
In the outset, one not in possession Of
that wisdom which belongs to stateman.

not combineY Somebody must be the
victim Of the combinations. No sir; let
us come out and say: Natural laws are
good enough for us. Competition will do.
The provision which God has created
cannot be improved upon; neither can II
be violated without injury to ourselves,
and'serious injury at that; consequently
we will suppress that instrument of arti-
ficialism and oppression, the combine, and
restore to It's full function and force the
natural law Of competition" Then let us
act h. accordance Herewith and we will
not be making mistake.
Let us go further The farmers will
make mistake II they attempt TO set
themselves up in opposition TO the mer-
chants Of their towns. These are the
reasons. First, the retail dealers have
not entered into combinations FOR she pur-
pose Of taking advantage Of the farmers.
On the contrary they have kept aloof from
combinations and are as much the victims
Of existing combinations as are the farm
ers and would be as much benefited by
the suppression Of the combinations as
would be the farmers. This Is proven by
the fact that 90 per cent Of the retailers
fail at some time during the period Of
their lives. We must 60 back Of the re-
tail merchants TO find those who have
been guilty Of entering into the trusts and
combinations, back to the railroad mana
gers, mining corporations, elevator ring
sters, beef packers, manufacturers and
jobbers. They are the guilty parties and
their eXtortions have been as disastrous
TO the retail merchant as II has been to
the farmer. No, It Is further back than
the retail merchant Of the nelghboring
towns that we must go to find the actual
enemy
The second reason why the farmers will
make mistake In antagonizing the
merchants Of their towns is that the
friends Of this movement cannot afford to
estrange a body Of men who, II enlisted
with them, would prove TO be most inn
portant adjunct to the cause. We have
a hard fight to make, powerful enemy
to confront, and we need the companion
ship, the influence and the votes of the
merchants and honest business men Of
our towns We need their assistance and
the assistance Of all others who are not
allied with the monopolists and consist
emily work with us,
Another reason why the farmer should
not attempt to crowd out the home mer-
chant is that no good reason can be as
signed why the present set Of merchants
should be crowded to the wall in favor of
another set Of men who would soon occu-
py the same relationship to the farmers
that the present merchants do. That
such would ke the case cannot be denied.

Be Careful, Make no Mistakes.

BE Careful, make no mistakes.
EDITOR ADvooATE;-The order Of the
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union
is making acCretiOns at an almost unpar-
alleled rate, but 1t must be careful as to
It's modes Of procedure or disintegration
will begin at one end before the work Of
organization is completed at the other,
and ii will fall to the ground to become a
reproach TO It's friends and by-word to
scoiFers.
Bear with me, If you please, while |
call attention to the principal abuse which
led TO this movement and then TO the err
rors we may fall into in attempting to
combat this abuse:
We must not forget that the chief
troubles, do not say the sole troubles,
but chief troubles with which we have
been accursed have been the inadequacy
Of the wages and prices we have been
forced to accept and the extortionate
prices we have been forced to pay in our
dealings with a class who have secured
the advantage. And we must not forget
that this price inequality has only been
wrought through Combinations--that the
railroads and telegraph companies and
banking corporations and manufacturing,
mining and jobbipg establishments have
been enabled to overcharge and un-
derpay us until they have entered into a
solid compact, one with the other, so to
do--that the murder Of competition has
necessarily preceded extortion.
Neither must we forget that had 1t not
been for combinations and the suppress
sion decomposition we would have bought
and sold at natural prices,-that Is, the
prices the law Of competition dlCtates,--
and would not now be in debt, but on the
contrary would be free Of debt and sur
rounded with all the comforts an indus
triOus and ingenious people abiding in a
bountiful and productive region had a
right TO expect.
We will then be prepared to perceive
that our leading efforts should be direct
ed necessarily toward the abolition Of the
combinations and the prevention Of their
formation in the future, and that it is a
mistake to allow ourselves to be switched
of into issues that have not this direct
object In view.
Now, wherein are we liable to go
wrong?
The farmers will make a mistake II
they attempt to form combinations among
themselves, in imitation of the present
monopolists, for the purpose Of limiting
the supply or controlling the prices Of
their products Why? Because, in the
first place, they are not in position to
, succeed, and in the second place, II they
did succeed what would become Of the

choice and those who undertook II would
soon tire Of mixing farming with mer-
chandislng.
And now for mistakes that may be
made In another direction.
Those make a mistake who imagine
that currency reform Legislation Is all
that Is needed TO relieve us Of the noun
tain Of evils with which we are environed.
We need currency reform, that Is true.
We need more currency sufficient for
the business wants Of the country. Aud
II should be supplied TO the people with.
out the Intervention Of any preferred class
who may reap profit in getting Il into
circulation. Bnt when we have secured
currency reform what have we doneG
We have struck blow at only fraction
Of the evils Of which we complain. We
have done nothing oprevent Armour& 4 Co.,
from manipulating the meat markets, or
TO prevent the railroad companies from
charging all the traffic will bear or to pre-
vent the numerous and mighty trusts and
monopolies Of the country from soon rob
bing the people Of every advantage they
had gained through currency legislation,
thereby leaving them in rs badacondltion
as ever, We have done nothing Of the
kind, hence | say those make a mistake
who imagine (and there are number
who do) that currency reform legislation
is all the legislation we need at the pres
ent time.
Another mistake that the alliance, as an
organization, may make Is TO commit
itself TO the favor Of penal legislation
against the monopolies and trusts. Penal
legislation Is no good. II Is the old way,
| know, but because II Is nm old way OF
dealing with extortioners and has never
been a success where tried, II ought, rs a
reform reason, to be abandoned. tits the
plan popular, too, with some Of our sena-
tors and representatives, but so are great
many other plans that are advanced rath-
er to satisfy the popular clamor than TO
hurt the enemy We should try some
thing that will bring results, something
that has been proven TO be asuccess where
II has been tried and is fitted from It's ma
ture TO be a success again. Such plan
Is the taxing plan, II would work.
Given the taxes TO be so arranged as TO
discriminate against the combinations and
we would witness the abolition Of all the
monopolies, be they landed, railroad,
mining, beef packing, manufacturing or
what they may be, In the commonwealth
in which the tax was imposed. The ALI
ance would make no mistake in com
hitting itself to the tax plan When II
became law the people could rest easy.
The monopolles would have to go. AS
this plan is suited to become a state rath'
er than national measure it would be

The New Theology and Immortality.

We no longer draw any sharp lines be-
tween this world and the other world.
We dismiss as a part of the dualism of the
past, the notion of ''long and dreary
Sleep flesh resurrection, and great gap
between the dying and the rising again.
Life Is continuous; life is one; and death
makes no break in it. The loss Of an arm
leaves the man unchanged; the other arm
Is lost he is still unchanged; he falls, like
John Carter, from tree, and dislocates
his neck, and lives for twenty years with
no power of motion save in his head; but
he is still John Carter. Life goes on un-
interrupted. The body drops into the
grave and disintegrates altogether. Life
still goes on uninterrupted. The dissolu-
ton Of the whole body is no more than the
dissolution of any part of it.
The dogma that all hope of repentance
necessarily ends at the grave. we Danish
into the Lumber room which holds the 9th
er fragments Of an abandoned dualism
As man goes out of our sight, such is h'
on the other side Of the veil which hides
him from us. 1t Is by no accident tha

refuse to accept the Andover hypothesis
everywhere, by an unconscious agreement
also refuse to accept the unscriptural dog
ma of the decisive nature of this life's pro
baton for every man; for that dogma be

breaking life into two discovered hemi

Meeting of the Educational Association

one Of the bright spots in the school
teachers life, Is the meeting of the Educa
tional Association, and it was with great
JOY and expectations that we looked for
ward to May 20 and "a, when the peda-
| gogues of the county should assemble at
West Brooksville to exchange ideas and
receive instruction as to the training of
youth.
As we had some fifteen miles before us
to travel, we were aroused at the cheerful
and enlivening hour of four and when the
six O'Clock whistle sounded were far on
our way.
The ride was very pleasant though un-
eventful. We passed several citizens on
their way to their work some were busily
engaged in mending their ways, but moth
ing occurred to disturb the serenity of our
party. until we reached the mosquitoes of
which there seemed to be thousands. The
horse bravely elbowed his way through,
however, aud after a while we left them
far behind, lying in wait for other unsus-
pecting victims. When we reached the
building where the meeting was 70 be held,
we found the school ma'am few and far
between; but they soon began to assemble
aud quite company listened to the fore
Moons programme, which was very inter
esting, though we missed the face of the
president from his usual place.
Al ua aItnurnaJ 90 %
p. NJ. found us again in our places. But
the company had been reinforced by the
graduating class OF Normals from Castine
and the room filed so rapidly that it was
thought best to repair to the church. The
afternoon proved as interesting as the pre-
vious meeting. The papers read were all
listened to with interest and spirited dis
cussions followed The lecture at +. NJ.
by Prof Hitchings was pronounced a sue
cess.
Saturday morning dawned upon another
beautiful day, much to the delight of sew
eral doubling hearts and we met once more
to complete the program. The paper read
by Miss Flora Marks was especially inter
esting 70 all and many useful ideas were
given. The absence Of several whose names
were enlisted for papers caused much re-
Srct, but the query box occupied the spare
time and when, az II O'Clock, the meeting
was declared over and we turned to 90. it |
was decided by all that the association was |
= success-the only failure, that it could |
