You readily perceive that without the
vote of man not engaged in farming
or the owner of farm, the agricultur-
lists would carry twenty-four states
with 226 out of 42O electoral votes.
With three per cent. of the other voters,
they would also capture the electoral
votes of Illinois, Ohio and Maine, that
is fifty-one more.
1t has been said that the rural popu-
lation is decreasing and the urban in
creasing. This is true only in the
states where the farmers were in a mi
nority. There is no decrease In the
farm vote, and under the new appor-
tionment, which gives the electoral col
lege 444 members, the farmers can elect
238 out of 444.
In the twenty-four states which the
farmers control and in which they can
elect 238 electoral votes of the next coll
lege, they can also elect 175 members of
the next house of representatives. In
four years, that is, by 1895, they can
have control of the senate and, with
their president in the white house, have
six of the nine judges of the supreme
court, who believe as they do in regard
to the powers of the nation being used
for the benefit of the people instead of
for the benefit of spectators, bankers
and Wall street gamblers.-Ezra Nat.

PARTISAN ALLIANCE MEN.

Members Who Think More Of Their Party
Than They Do of Their Order.
One of the principal dangers that now
threatens the Farmers Alliance is par
tisan partyism within its own ranks.
No man, even if he be an alliance mem
Der, should be elected by alliance votes
to public Office, or an official position
within the alliance, unless he is loyal
to the principles and demands of the
order, as adopted and promulgated at
its national convention. As an instance
in proof of the foregoing position, cite
the recent action of the Missouri legis-
lature, as given in partisan and pluto
cratic paper. clip as follows:
s'The alliance leaders have outlined
their policy in this state as fight within
the camp, instead of third party move
ment, They have stated that they
would alter the democratic party In the
state to suit the ideas of the Farmers
Alliance. This morning the alliance
fought its fight for supremacy over the
anti-alliance ideas of the democracy on
the floor of the lower house. 1t carried
everything before it, and its action
showed just how far the alliance party
of the state is willing to go.
The fight came up on the matter of
engrossing joint and concurrent reso-
luton introduced by Mr. Hendrickson.

member from Bates county. It's cap

but Speaker Florea, who was IA the

LAND CURRENCY.

What Farmers Want IL Greater volumo
OF Money at Lower Rate Of Interest.
says the American Grange Bulletin:
Some papers are still telling the people
the false. instead Of true, about sIand
money" as proposed by the farmers of
this country, and indorsed by the Ma
tional Grange; and the different kind of
land money, or cedulas, Of the ArRen-
gentine republic. But some farmers
are studying the question and are not
sfraid to strike back. One writer In the
New England Homestead says:
What farmers want Is a greater vol.
ume OF money at lower rate of inter-
est. II we scale down the rate to three
per cent 1t Is equivalent to reducing the
indebtedness Farmers believe there Is
no better security than productive real
estate at safe valuation. Now, in the
Argentine republic loans appear to have
been made atan extravagant valuation,
and the mortgages were sold to En-.
glish Shylocks. Under this system If
the farmer failed, English capitalists
would own his land, while under the
Stanford scheme, if the farmer failed.
our own government would become the
owner. Under the Argentine plan that
government paid interest to foreign
-bondholders, while under the plan pro-
posed for the United States, our coun-
try would receive the interest. The
scheme OF the Argentine republic
was direct road to the bottomless pit
OF q national degradation and bank
ruptcy. The scheme of the farmers is
TO save the people from the slavery to

Land Currency.


In 1880 there were 4. OOs o07 fa,r,s =,
the United States, valued, including
land, fences and buildings, at $40. 197.-
096,776. It would be fair estimate tn
take fully one-third of this valuation as
representing buildings aud fences.
which would leave the land as valued at
So,oOo, 100000 Only one-half Of that
sum, or 50, 25O, ,000, 900, could by any pos
sibility be loaned under the STANFORD
bill, and that only on condition that
every farmer in the United States
should hasten to cover his farm with a
mortgage The mere proposition that
all would do SO is ridiculous, for there
are tens OF thousands of farmers and
farm land owners who are themselves
lending money on mortgages or invest
ing 1t In other ways.
But suppose every farmer and farm
land owner In the country should bor-
row one-half the value of his land. with
out improvements, that is S., $50. 600. 600.
That would only add $50. so per capita
to the currency, and that, with the
actual circulation now, would only give
us but little more money per capita
than Is used in France, which has less
than one-hfteenth Of our area and
every business point In which can be
reached by a journey of less than one
day, whilst it requires six days to pass
from one to the other Of the great busi-
ness centers of the country.

Desperately In Earnest.

We want TO put emphasis upon the
fact that the alliance movement is as
nearly a disinterested movement for
the whole people as II is possible for
any public movement to be. It is not
a movement to enable few men to get
into place and power. It is a move
ment for the benefit Of all the people.
Those who are not willing to pursue
our reforms for the simple sake of the
reforms themselves, and for the sale of
the effect these reforms will have In
purifying all the walks and avenues of
public life, arc not wanted in the move
ment at all; and the sooner such per-
sons get their baggage together and de-
camp, the better It viii be for ALI
parties. This movement is not q device
for patching mp compromises. II Is a
movement that aims at the complete
political, economical and social repen-
Grafton OF the state. It will not stop to
haggle with rings and factions. It
seeks to sweep these things clean
away by means of the education and
enlightenment of all classes of the
people. Raleigh On. c) Progressive

State Department Busy Learning Details
of the Passamaquoddy Bay Afiair.

Commissioner Carter of the general
land Office has directed the Register and
Receiver OF public lands at Lewiston,
Mont, to receive mineral applications to
allow mineral entries in the abandoned
Fort McGinnis military reservation in
Montana under the same conditions as
when made for other public lands. The
same rule will apply to the abandoned
Fort McDermitt military reservation in
Nevada.
Advices received by the Bureau OF
American Republics state that specific
duty OF II cents kilogramme az
pounds has been imposed on all lard
imported in the Republic OF Peru. 1t
has been decided that all packages
shipped, discharged and re-embarked at
ports OF the Republic shall be marked
with the gross weight. Cases, barrels
and crates must also he marked with the
measurement OF their dimensions ac-
cording TO the metric system, and fines
are imposed for noncompliance with
this law.
The State Department is quite busy
learning the details OF the seizure OF the
Eastport fishermen, SO as to be able to
act intelligently when the time for ac-
ton arrives. The United States Consul
at the Canadian town next TO Eastport
is investigating things, and when he
makes his report il will BIC quite compe-
tent for the department to take some
very interesting steps towards obtaining
an explanation Of the case from Great
Britain. There IL no danger OF a repeti-
ton OF the " outrage" as it is being
called in lieu OF more definite term,
and the department feels that haste IN
such an event would be unwise.
Several letters have been received by
Postmaster General Wanamaker from

Perhaps the most important OF its re-
suits is the admission Of the Australian
colonies to the union TO take effect July
/, 1892. The only civilized countries
now remaining outside the union are
Cape Colony and the South African Re-
public, which will probably come in at
the next congress, making the postal
union universal in fact as well az in
name. The other interesting changes
noted are the proposed issue of postal
cards with paid reply for international
service, in the reduction OF the registry
4 centimes % cents, in an increase in
the maximum-size package of sample
from SxIx2 inches TO i2x4xS, an indem-
