The rair and the Force Bnl.

WASIIINGrON, Jan. 2j.-sScnator
German characterizcs us fiction the re-
port that a deal has been arranged by
which the Democratic members OF the
Kansas Legislature arc TO vote for Scna-
tor ingalls, in return for his opposition to
the force bill.
This same story was circulated sever
al weeks ago, and it was then said that
Senator GOrman, as lcaG1r Of the de-
mocracy III the Senate, was authorized
to pledge certain Democratic votes in
the Kansas Legislature to Ingalls, if he
would openly oppose the force bill.
When Senator German was interviewed
on the suhicc tonight he said he could
not undertake TO assume the RESPONSE
blllty for all the Ingenious statements
sent out from WASHINGTON at this time.
The opponents of the force bill are
greatly encouraged in their fight by the
general drift of public sentiment in thci,
favor. The action Of several States in
refusing assistance TO the Worlds Far
unless the bill is beaten causes alarm in
Administration circles. The promoters
OF the Fair now tear that the IcgiSla-
lures OF New York and New Jersey
Will follow the example Of those States.
AS the force bill is said to he AIMED dir
ectly at New York and New Jersey as
we'll as the Southern States, the Demo-
cratic Legislatures in the North should
not hesitate to JON with their Southern
brethren in any scheme calculated to
preserve the rights Of their people.

PATTY on RECORD.

Since the statement that the late
honored president Of the state alliance
K G. Patty. opposed the sub-treasury
scheme has been called in question
The Mississippian reproduced the fol-
lowing extract from his last annual
address vt Starkville, Mississippi, il
August last, which should finally and
conclusively settle the question:
II lay before you for your consider
alton, a copy Of q bill now pending in
congress. and known rs the sub-
treasury plan. 1t is to be
regretted that time was not afforded
at st. Louis for the intelligent and
thorough discussion OF measurc so
fraught with good or evil consequent
ces. Tho supreme council refused TO
adopt ,esolution to postpone action
for one year, offered by the venerable
member Of the Mississippi delegation.

servatism. Subsequent discussion

FREE SUGAR,

Ever since the 1st instant, when the
sugar schedule of the McKinly bill
went into operation, the high tariff
organs have united in a chorus OF ju-
bilation over this solitary important
reduction OF duties in the new tariff.
II cheap sugar is so gtol thing,
what IS the matter with cheap cloth
lag, cheap iron, cheap tin plate, cheap
hardware. cheap buttons. or cheap
agricultural implementsp Let it be
added that the expression ..free sugar
is misnomer. The sugar which our
people commonly use is not freq. 1t
is taxed one-half cont a pound. The
raw sugar which goes to the refineries
is free; the sugar above No. Is, which
includes tho grades that go into ordi-
nary consumption, is still subject to
tax.
The consumption OF sugar in this
country has been about three thousand
millions OF pounds yearly. On this
the Sugar Trust levies tribute of half
cent a pound. or say fifteen millions
OF dollars per year. Then the bounty
to be paid on raw sugar produced at
home will take ten millions more, and
perhaps larger sum in the course Of
a few years,
Thus the new law surrenders fifty
five millions of revenue. but provides
that the taxpayers shall pay nearly
half that amount to the producers and
refiners OF raw sugar. Tho Treasury
loses tho whole sum, but the people
save but littlesmore than half. This
is tho Republican plan Of relieving the
burdens of the people, but it is not the
whole OF it As an Offset to this re-
duction of taxation the Mckinley till
increases it on nearly all the necessa-
ries of life that can be reached by tariff
duties at all. And they ask US to be-
lieve that while they have cheapened
sugar by putting down the Rites they
have cheapened other commodities BY
putting them up. And while they con-
fess to have been reducing the reve-
nue the have increased expenses at tho
rate of one hundred millions of dollars
psr year. The Republican party should
examine itself and ascertain wheiher
it is really in favor Of cheap goods or
not, and if it is, whether high duties
or low ones are calculated to cheaper
commodities. At present. it makes
rather a sorry figure BY trying 10
take both sides of each OF these ques-
tions. Courier Journal.

FACTS.

Nine out OF every ten of our Monroe
county farmers are now buying West
crn corn at 80 cents to ono dollar per
bushel; they are bound to have it to
make crop on. Now lot US suppose
that sub-treasury warehouses were
planted all over the corn-producing
sections, that the producers had stored
all their surplus corn in those ware
houses, drawing out so per cent Of it's
value. What would be the rosultP
Why corn would be worth down here,
ali the way from two to five dollars
per bushel. while the rats and weevil,
OF tho west would be destroying and
rlotlng the government security. Cot
ton might be stored indefinitely with
out injury, but all the cereals and tu-
bers have within them certain cle-
ments OF decay that prohibit the idea
OF successful keep longer than month,
as the Vicksburg Herald truly says,
storing your own grain and meat III
your own house, beats storing in sub
treasury warehouses all hollow.
Labor conqusrs everything. there is
no royal road to wealth or honors, or
education. Man was born to live by
tho sweat of his brow, and all the
edicts o plans Of human government
can subvsrt or turn back this divine
ordinance.
Work, watch and pray, and in few
years peace and plenty will sit smiling
at your door, and you will not need to
borrow from the government or any
othsr man. There is no theory in this,
it is all cold fact. Aberdeen Weekly,

ALLIANCE NOTES. -AMoRY STAR

|
| Demagogues creep into the Alliance
! and hold up false systems and false
polio es in order that they may b.
| personally benefited.
| Lots of small politicians 60 about
f'om place to place discussing ALI
ancc reform in the government. with
the one object OF obtaining Office.
| Ii these same politicians who pr,
fess to be democrats elevated to
the offices they seek, Alliance demands
would therefore receive no greater
| momentum.
There is no room in Mississippi for
other than the Democratic party-lt
may need Il regulator; the Allan ce
will act as such, and will go no fur
ther.
The condition of Alliance opinion
just now in regard to prescribed po-
litical policy is not the most encourag-
ing when We consider the difficulty of
unifying it upon any thing OF such
nature.
Foreseeing Alliancemcn refuse to
make any unnecessary departure from
the political party to which they be-
long to consummate any reform, which
If right will ultimately attain in that
party.
Unity OF action among any class is q
means OF bettering it's conditions. but
to secure this unitv of sentimens is
necessary. No plan of Alliance action
that meets with opposition from res
pectable following OF brotherhood,
should be pursued.
The great body Of farmers and la
borers are united to fight monopolies.
and division of opinion MS to the
mode of attack should not occur. Lo-
Cal polictics does not SO nearly interest
the order as soma purpose, and the
agitation of class issues in county poll
itics could be productive of no good to
tho order.
Inside of this patty the Southern
Alliance must ever stand, for they
were Democrats before they wero AL
liencemon. and as there can be no just
vital issue between the party and tho
order, they will contend for Alliance
measures inside OF party ranks.
Redress for the people must come
through the law making body. aud the
sense of the alliance is to know this,
and to leave the selection of all exec.
utive officials in the hands of the Dem
ocratic party. acting only as unified
element of the people to urge upon it,
certain measures for the good of the
farmers and laborers.
The Alliance must have the back
bone to formulate its own policy and
then pu; sue it. 1t would b, poor
surp ,rter Of its own cause to allow
outsiders to dictate its line of action
lead it astray Its higher purpose lies
not in politics, but in nobler aims, and
the bounden duty OF every true men,
be- is to keep it pure; 10 teach the
truth, justice and social fellowship.
and to better the political situation
through an improved system Of educa-
tlon. Parties arc not made pure by.
the names they bear, but by the people
that compose them; then the work of
the Alliance Is to educate tho people
and thereby elevate the party.
