A WORD TO ALLIANCENEy.

The burdens Of the farmer, in
common with all producers, are
heavy. So were those Of the gener-
atoms now almost i passed away.
Theirs came at once-yesterday a
competency, to-day beggars. Too
proud to beg; unused to labor, but
among them were no whining CON-
planners. Their cheerful obedience,
their tolls and hardships and their
sacrifices to the inevitable, won the
respect and esteem of the world
through which their deeds of heroism
had just flashed Immortality.
Your burdens came gradually as
the spider enrangIes one, then
another of the limbs of his victims.
So you were entramped, ladened
with poverty, your manhood be-
numbed ard your occupation de-
rided and scorned. At that period
came the Alliance, teaching that
your occupation should arouse, fos-
ter and mature the noblest aspira-
tons of the grandest intellect.
You are producers. From your
occupation comes all that elevates
and ennobles man. From the non
producers spring all the vices that
degrade society.
All that adds to the wealth, COM
fort and happiness of mankind comes
from the labors of the producer, and
all who are producers--and only
those--ean become members of your
organization.
lmbued with this conviction,
every true Alliance member will
begin the year with the determine
ton to Tree himself from the servi-
tude of debt that benumbs his man
hood, never forgetting that united
you must succeed, divided YOU must
fall.

Sage's Catarrh Remedy offer $500
reward for a case Of Catarrh which
they canuot cure. Remedy sold by

THE SOUTH AS A COTTON MILL SITE

Among the many Aattering pros
poets that loom up to please the
Southern people, and to create dis
quiet in the Northern mind, is that
the South promises to be the future
field for cotton manufacture.
The country has been impressed
for long while that the South
would ultimately secure the mono
poly of cotton goods manufacture,
and all of Che subsidiary industries
that are connected with cotton cul-
tivation. Rare old Ben Butler said
several years ago that if the cotton
mills of Lowell should be burned
the insurance money would be used
in building up factories in the South.
Long before this statement was
made, the advantages Of the South
as site for cotton mills has forced
themselves upon the recognition Of
The thoughtful mill-men of the
North, and the apprehension of
Southern competition has been
steadily growing, even out Of pro-
portion OF the increasing spindles of
the South. .~
While the north recognizes the
local advantages Of the South, they
hope tc overcome them through the
South's poverty and consequent in
ability to erect and equip cotton
mills. 1t is said that it requires one
thousand dollars to every spindle
put in operation in this country and
that other industries require so much
less that the attention Of the South
will be absorbed by cheaper plants.
They need not lay this fattering
JUNCTION to their souls, for the super
Tor advantages offered by the South
will eventually overcome every arti-
fetal obstruction to the complete es-
Enlistment Of the law of the sur
vival Of the fittest. The protective
tariff is another incubus on the
growth Of thisindustry in the South,
and bolster Of the Northern mills
through which the Northern manu-
facturies hope to delay the deca-
dence of what has proven a large
contribution to the sum Of New
England's prosperity Ns
There are some indications that
Old England, recognizing the local
advantages Of the South as site
for cotton mills, win turn her atten-
ton to the acquisition of mill prop
erty in the South. The writer
would not be at all surprised to see
within few years q multiplication
of the cotton mills of the South
erected by English money controlled
by Southern men. This would lead
to much closer business relations
between England and the South,
and result in direct trade with
steamers plying between English
ports and those Of the South. AL

tons Of appreciation displayed at the first rem

win greet the company this evening
Georgia Cooper. us Little Lord Fauntleroy, the
bright and plucky child hero, displayed no
little talent and her conception of the character
was very creditabe for mere child, and during
the pathetic parts of the drama many of the au-
dience were yisibly affected.
Frank f. Acken the crusty old Earl of Dor
rncourt Russell Bassett as Mr.. Hobbs, the biz
hearted country grocer, and Miss Dorothy Ross
more as the seheIning adventures, are especially
worthy of mention. And on the whole the in
teresting little drama was presented in very
creditable manner by Mr.. French's company,
and will be repeated at the opera-houSe this
evening.

LETTER CARRIERS ORGANIZED.
They Now Belong to the National Assoc
citation.

Branch, No 70, of the National Letter Carriers
Association has just been organized by the car-
riers of Seattle. The officers elected are: c. W.
Tucker, president; J. Paul Jones, treasurer; J.
w. Scott, secretary. The national order was or
ganized in 1889, but the details were only per
fected a few months ago. The object OF the as
ISOLATION is to secure favorable legislation from
congress for the benefit of the letter carriers, and
TO improve that portion of the postal service as
well as themselves. All of the carriers OF this
city have joined, and in whatever cities the asso-
citation has branches the membership includes
all of the carriers.
The postoffee clerks of the United States
have also formed an association, with branches
i'll each city. and the Seattle postoficc clerks
have organized. The objects of the clerks
association are the grading of the service and
the equalizatiou OF salaries. The plan is n
grade I'LL postofce clerks into three classes, and
So adjust salaries to have all clerks of one
class draw the same salary. For instance, n
clerk now holding position in one division of
the poStoiiice might get salary OF 81. 500, while
another. employed in another division, en-
gagged in duties of the same responsibility and
similarity. right get only 81 0oo BY the elassif-
cation system matters would be more generally
caualiztd. The scheme is favored by postofiice
clerks throughout the country.
