large per cent of the farmers are obliged 10
sell for reasons we need notstop to explain.
At this season produce is at its lowest poin;
with rare exceptions. Careful statistics
show that there is variation in the price
|of farm products during the year Of rs to
SO per cent, and that when most of them
are in the hands Of the farmers they are
lowest. After the buying season in the
country is over money finds its way back to
the banks in the money centres and is quot
ed ''easy.' Then prices go up, and when
the farmer is ready TO lay in supplies the
dealers quote him prices Subject to rise, p
and the nearer spring approaches the higher
they go.
If the government supplied the farmer so
per cent ofthe value Of his grain, he need
not sell 10 the speculator. He could use
this money which cost him only one per
cent to purchase his supplies or pay his
debts, and wait for the best market before
selling his produce. Wall street money
would not be needed in the country, the
banks and other money loaners would not be
enabled TO skin the farmer in his sore need,
and the price of grain would not fuctuate.
Spectators could not get it into their hands,
gambling in grain would be broken up and
that class of gambling disappear. The price
would continue uniform or nearly so, and
grain would only be drawn from the ware
houses to use or ship. This is very briei
sketch Of the character of the plan and what
is claimed for il by the National. Alliance.
The principle is not new. The colonies oil
Pennsy lvania, Mess, and North Carolina
had similar plans long before the revolu-
ton, for supplying currency. and no less a
parsonage than Benjamin Franklin was
instrumental in originating plan of loan.
| ing on the land, similar to Stanford's laud
loan bill. In France in 1889 every in.
dication pointed to the downfall of the re-
public on account of financial complications
A decree was passed, government ware
houses were opened for the reception of all
kinds Of goods, and the certificates of such
deposits were made negotiable--the same
plan almost exactly that is proposed by the
Alliance--and condition Of stagnation in
France bordering on chaos was speedily
changed to life and business activity.
| Frederick the Great of Prussia. when
| the country was Frustrated after his
long war with Austria, and without
money to transact business, resorted to
land loan system and by that means
revived prosperity and industry among
the farmers. The plan is not at all new
and untried, aud the principle is being
acted on by the government in the
interest of its favored classes the Dank-
ers and the whiskey ring and the farm.
ers through their alliance ask for the
same considerate care and opportunity
to deliver them from the gold fingers
of the usurer.
All who wish to learn all about the
Sub-Treasury Plan should procure
one of the pamphlets, price 5 cents,
and be prepared to give points to the
noodle headed sneerers, who are so
| frequently met with, who assume to
know SO much about finance and yet
know SO little.

appeal is that made by Gov. Peck's ab.
surd Worlds fair commissioners. Out
of fund Of 500, 900 they have devoted
S29, 600, or less than half. for 'club-

missioners $50, 400 for their expenses.
Now they have devised scheme by
which they hoped to use more for their

boards to vote money for different parts
of the building. Whatever comes in
this way leave so much more money for

credit any better or more appropriate
building than the mendacious club

Organs and Pianos.

For the benefit Of those who intend buying an
Organ or Piano. and are rot aware, we copy by
request Of Mr.. Aug. Michaels, the Piano and
Organ dealer of this city, from the inquiry col.
umn of the Musical Courier, journal which is
the most solid and reliable Musical Journal
printed in the United States as follows:
The New England Homestead. Springfield.
Mass, asks: Where are the Estey, Beatty Cor
nlsh ana Cottage organs made, and are they the
best organsf Ii not, what makes are the best?
what is meant by stencil plano or organY
the Musical Courier answers: The Estey
organ Is made at the great works of the Estey
Company, at Brattleboro; the Beatty organ is
fraud-a stencil fraud; the Cornish organ is made
at Washington, n. j. Cornish advertise them
selves as piano makers who sell stencil pianos:
the Cottage organ is better known as the Chicago
Cottage organ, and is made by a company in
Chicago who are turning out thousands of low
grade organs and who put names on the organ
the dealer may select, including the dealers
name
With the single exception Of the Estey organ
none of these organs deserve the name of musical
instruments, for they are mere cheap carpentry
or woodwork on large scale, with brass reeds
set in air cham bers and put in motion by the air
drawn through them by means of a bellows.
The Estey organ is a fine musical instrument
that has called forth the highest encomiums
from some OF the greatest musical authorities
and artists of Europe and America II is pride
TO this country for it has helped in advancing
the position the United States as IN industrial
world That IS able 10 produce wonderful art
objects. For musical purposes one Estey organ
is worth about 92l of the three other organs put
together.
What is meant by a stencil piano or organ? A
stencil piano or organ has a name upon it that
does not indicate Its origin. Such instruments
as are called Beatty are stencil organs for there
Is no Beatty factory, and he gets his organs
from makers Of low grade stuff who are willing
10 put his or any other name on them. Never
buy, never touch a stencil instrument"
Ifyou want to buy good honest Piano or
Organ at a reasonable price examine first his line
Of goods and get his prices before buying else

Reciprocity With Spain.

As an evidence of the dement's that
have already been realized from the OPP
eraliops of the Spanish reciprocity treaty
which went into effect only two months
ago, the following statement has been
received at the State department. 1t
shows the increase of shipments made
by the Ward Line steamers from New
York to Havana for the months of Sep
TENDER and October last as compared
with those made during the correspond
ing months in 1890:

The steamship company reports that
since the treaty went into effect they
have had to charter three extra steamers
besides their regular sailings and that
every ship without exception has gone
out full The shipments of machinery
for the manufacture Of sugar have been
greater than ever know before. They
report that the leading provision mer-
chant in Havana estimates that when
the treaty provision as to reduction of
duty on flour takes place January !
next, the imports from he United States
to Cuba will reach 100000 barrels per
annum or more than double the present
total consumption. Judging from pres
ent Indications the company anticipates
that when the treaty is fully in force
they will have to increase the number
of their sailing or largely increase the
capacity of their ships,

THE defeat of the republican ticket in
Iowa is another lesson that prohibition
and personal liberty cannot go hand in
hand. Ever since that party has adyo-
Gated those principles it has steadily lost
ground, and will stay demoralized until
a policy harbonng subterfuge and a
long train Of evils is eliminated from its
platform. The people do not want
prohibition, if they did they would sup
port that party and not ask favors of
either the republican or democratic
parties Iowa will have good chance
to set herself Alright next year, let her
show that the experience, though costly,
has not been in vain.

GOVERNOR ELECT MCKINLEY's hand
some majority in Ohio does not look
like the reputation of his famous bill
so divoutly prayed for and earnestly
predicted by the democrats, nor is it
very comfortable to them to know that
the tariff will play very material part
in the presidential election. In no other
state was the battle fought on nation
al issues. The man aud his principles
were indiyisible. A vote for Mckinley
was a vote for American protective tar
iif. The verdict is unmistakable; it was
the campaign of '92 on small scale
and Ohio rose to the occasion. Circum-
stances placed the tuning fork in her
hands and the note will swell from
Maine to California year hence. We
do not mean this will convert demo-
Gratis, or bring prohibitionists to their
senses, but it will bring out the republic
cans and the earnest, country loving
Americans, and that is enough.
