"Why," said he, "if both the old
parties were TO unite against us to-
morrow they could do nothing.
THE metropolitan press generally"
he continued, shave declared that the
alliances and industrial unions would
not adopt the Ocala platform. Well,
four State alliances have been found
within the last three weeks-those OF
New York, Washington, California
and Colorado-and each Of them has
adopted that platform without the
change of a single word.
There has been a good deal of
talk to the effect that the alliance has
lost its strength in the west. Let us
see: At last years election the ALI
ance vote in Kansas was 38 per cent.
of the total cast, and that of Nebras-
ka was 81 per cent. At the election
Just over, the alliance vote was As per
cent. of the total vote in Kansas, and
48 per cent. in Nebraska. Had there
been three tickets in these
fields, the other parties would not
have been in it.
81 have been in the labor move
ment for more than AZ years, so am
not disposed to be too sanguine. Yet
l must say that l am not so sure that
either Of the old parties will meet
with the success it expects at the next
presidential election.

An Alliance Boom.

There is no such disintegration of
the Farmers Alliance in Snranac
county as one might infer from n
local paper of this city, that the ranks
of the organization in that locality
had become so depleted that not more
than 200 members remained faithful
to it. When Capt. r. f. Trevellick
read this assertion he wrote at once
for accurate information. This IL
what he learned: The last quarter
ly report showed that the county had
81 sub-alliances with 1000 male
members, all qualified to vote, in
good standing; that since the issue Of
that report 10 new charters had been
issued and that but one lapse had
taken place in a year. The captains
stern features relaxed as he repeated
this pleasant bit Of intelligence.

toration of the old duty. There are
scarcely more directly interested in
wooden manufactures who do not rec
ognize the palable blunder Of the last
Congress as to woods. The entire ag-
ricultural portion of the people under
stand the stupid injustice of the duty

the duties on iron, iron ore, and fuel
were expressly urged by large num-
Der of manufacturers in New England,
Republicans MS well as Democrats.
We have no doubt that the action
of the House will be confined, so far
as the tariff is concerned. to measures
of this nature. To make up gener-
al bill for their opponents to pick to
pieces. to assume a defen sive position
and leave the aggressi We one they now
occupy to the Republicans, would be
policy on the part of the Democrats
that would be very agreeable and ad-
vantageous to the party of which Mr..
Sherman is an honored leader, and we
cannot blame him for suggesting it..
But the Democrats this year are not
seeking Mr.. Sherman's guidance, do
not need it, and are quite aware of
where it would lead them. During
the past two years their cause has ad-
vanced greatly. The policy by which
it has been advanced will be steadily
and intelligently adhered to.-N.Y.

is far more class and monopoly bill

The Republican national convention
will be held at Minneapolis. Detroit
and several other cities endeavored to
secure it but were unsuccessful. Pos
sibly the remarks made by Gov. Mer-
riam while in Chicago enroute to
Washington where the Republican
national committee met, suggest the
reason why Minneapolis was selected.
He said
"The Republican party in the north
west needs very badly some great as
sistance in saving it from the nav of
the Alliance Democratic fusion. A
big convention in Minnesota would do
much toward saving the Republican
vote. For instance, the Alliance
cast $4,000 votes last election. That
shows that it is a power greatly to be
feared Should the Democrats and
Alliance fuse, so as to give the ALI
ance the governorship and electoral
vote, the Republicans would no long
er be in it. Irepeat that unless some
big move be made, Minnesota will be
lost to the Republicans, a calamity,
which we can ill-afford to bear, now
that Wisconsin, Iowa and Nebraska
are lost. The convention would have
the effect of stimulating the Republi
cans and the great enthusiasm would
naturally result in great loss to the
Alliance. This is one great plea and
we think it good one"
The Governor also probably made q
special plea, instancing his narrow
escape from defeat, having been elect
ed by a majority of but 2,500.-Ex.

The extra census bulletin" issued
October % is devoted to Statistics of
the farms, homes and mortgages of
Kansas"
1t gives the existing mortgages on
land at $243, 146, 1926, of which over
$174,OO0,0OO is on farms. During
the ten years 53,75S,19O acres of land,
exclusive Of lots, were put under
mortgage, the average incurred in
debtedness on every acre for this peri
cd being $3.50.
The existing debt of the State Sc.
cured by mortgages on land alone,
and exclusive of the debts of railroads,
towns, counties and ofthe State, avera-
ges s195 per head of population, or
1926 for every family in the State.
The bulletin is chiefly devoted to
an attempt to break the force of these
figures, which, while probably an UNI
derestimate, are without parallel.
An average debt of 1926 on everv
family in an agricultural State is a
crushing burden, even if there were
no interest charges, but without a full
consideration Of the table of
interest charges given on

This view, expressed off-hand, is of
great interest, as il shows that the Pres
