Whereas, The Alliance and Indus

evasion or a non-committal policy in
the advocacy of their cardinal doc
trine of ''equal rights to all and special
favors to none;;" and
Whereas, It has been customary for
the anti-Sub- Treasury and anti-Alli-
ance journals to publish with great
gusto and flourish of trumpets ev-
cry item of news that is detrimental
to the Order and to malign and mis-
represent it's state and national Off

that, too, without provocation; and
W hereas, Our national representa-
tives from this state arenot, with one
or two honorable exceptions. in touch
and sympathy with their constitu-
ency to right the wrongs and to cor
rect the abuses of governmental en-
actments, but in their policy, if they
have one, propose nothing but a re-
hash of the old, stale arguments of
vituperation and villifcation, crimi-

Resolved, 1. That the Kemper
County Alliance not only asks, but
earnestly invites, thefullest and freest
discussion of the national demands,
always insisting, however, that this be
done in anon partisan spirit and with
pure and patriotic motives.
2 We are thoroughly committed to
the opinion that the official acts Of
our leaders are public property, to be
criticised and commented upon &C
cording to the full measure OF their
merits or demerits. Here we ask no
favors but challenge a comparison
on this line with the pretentions and
protestations OF the "bosses' of the
two old leading parties and cheerfully
leave the decision to the Judgment of
an unbiased and intelligent public.
3 We most urgently appeal tc the
Alliance contingent in Congress to be
active and earnest, at all times to for
ward the demands of the Ocala plat
form and by their zeal and discretion
to make it the paramount issue in
American politics. It is the one and
only hope of the ''teaming, toiling,
struggling masses.
4 We most heartily condemn all
appeals made by politicians and de-
magogues for the purposes of Great
ing discussions and ill-will between
the different sections of this union; at
the same time we send greeting to

THE SOLID SOUTH.
Rulc OF the Democratic Doctrine of Ter
rorism.

rOrism.
It is easy to see that the farmers
movement is not going to disturb the
political solidity of the south. Those
who have Ieen hoping that this new
experiment would at least introduce
the habit of boiling in southern cleo
tions may as well abandon the idea.
The leaders of the democratic party in
that section understand very well that
it will not do to let the people begin
the business of independent voting, and
so all possible means are being invoked
to prevent the new party from getting
a foothold. They declare it will never
do for the southern voters to divide so
long as there is republican party to
oppose. The usual talk about the dam
ger of negro domination is repeated
with increased emphasis and white
citizens are urged to subordinate all
other considerations to the great duty
of keeping political power in the hands
of their own race. To be sure, the is
sues presented by the alliance have
nothing to do with the race problem,
but the democratic orators and news
tends to disturb the general condition
of thought is dangerous to their party,
and the hobgoblin of black supremacy
serves the purpose of checking such
an influence better than anything else
that could be devised
We hear great deal about the new
south and it's spirit of enterprise and
progress; but the fact remains that
whenever the interests of the demo-
cratic party are exposed to the least
danger the old south comes forward
to dispute the right of any other party
to exist down there '.The bulwark
of the democratic party" we are re-
min dcd, ''is the solid south. and with
southern division there is no way to
prevent republican triumph" There
fore, it is argued, the white voters
must continue to act as unit in poll
tics, or the wrongs and miseries Of the
carpetbag era will return, and the
negroes viii take possession of the
land for purposes of plunder and desc
lation. 1t is amazing to observe how
readily the white people of the south,
the people of intelligence and prop
ersy, are influenced by talk of this
SORT. They have become SO accus-
toned to the idea of a latent conspir-
acy on the part of the blacks to over
turn the present order of things that
whene, er the slightest alarm is sound
ed they lose their heads and cease to
take logical and reasonable view of
the situation. The time may be com
ing when better condition will en-
sue; but the prospect is not very en-
couraging. There is only one party in
the south, and it resolutely antago-
nizes every attempt to establish an
other, and the people are led to be-
lieve that the only way to avoid negro
domination is to vote the democratic
ticket under all circumstances. st.

The Happy Results of Republicanism and
Protection.
No nation of the world, in any age,
has reduced national debt so speedily
as the United States. In 1876 the ma
tional debt was 50, 3S6, 600, 900. In 1890
it was S9SS, 900, OO0-a reduction Of
81, 39s, oOc, 00O in 90 years. Before the
century closes the debt will be entirely
discharged. The per capita debt of the
United States is less than that Of any
other nation-s2s. 1t is S2ls in France,
500 in the United Kingdom, $40 in
Italy, 500 in Germany, S35 in Russia,
In England, with free trade, the rate
of taxation between 1870 and 1890 was
nearly 25 per cent, while in
the United States under protective
duties taxation decreased 10 per cent.
for the same period. The per capita
debt in 1865 was S75. The reduction to
SIS has been made through the protec-
tive system. Until June, this year, an
aggregate of $50, 900. 900 in gold has
been exported to Europe. Already
the refuent stream is pouring back
from Europe at a rate that will ex-
ceed 500, 100000 In the United States
are peace and plenty; in Europe famine
prevails and war is the constant men,

THE CHESTNUT AS A FOOD.
The Practical Culinary Uses Which This
Edible May Have.

The Practical Culinary Uses Which This
Edible May Have.
If the struggle for existence has not
knocked all the love of nature out OF
his soul, the small boy, when he arrives
at mans estate, can not pass chest
nut-laden fruit stand without the sight
bringing back those happiest days OF
his life.
What holidays were more delightful
to the New England boy than those
spent in the fall, under chestnut tree,
brushing back and forth the crisp
brown leaves searching for chestnuts
And when the empty buckwheat sack
was full and tied at the top. what de-
light it was to put the bag upon the
left shoulder at dusk and triumphantly
tramp home whistling; then to trudge
upstairs to the attic and spread the
fruit out to dry.
How different is the process by which
the chestnut is annually introduced to
the average city boy On the corner OF
almost every city street, smoking
charcoal range, presided over by rag
ged Italian, may be met with. Soap
less hands build the little charcoal tire
and handle the so-called roasted fruit.
A pocket-knife used for cutting tobacco
makes the cross incision on the outer
skin, and when innocence buys the
fruit and wonders how the nuts became
impregnated with the flavor of salt
mackerel, he never fancies that the
vender has cooked his breakfast in the
l,ch :x,x la ooolxod hic
Notwithstanding these minor draw
backs, which may be overcome by not
patronizing street venders, the Amerl-
can sweet chestnut presents many de-
lightful culinary possibilities which
should be better known. They are
smaller than the coarse European
chestnut, and for this reason are more
troublesome to prepare for the table;
but they are SO superior in quality and
flavor that they are much to be prefer
red
To begin with, either variety of the
chestnut when reduced to flour, may
be converted into bread, cakes, pud-
dings, dumplings, ice cream, conserves,
puree for soup, stuffing and hundred
other tempting forms. Whole, they
are made into onions, glaces, etc.
Boiled in beef broth they may be serv-
ed as a vegetable separately, or as
garnish to meat, poultry, game, etc.
AS cold weather approaches, per-
haps the American housewife may be
more interested in knowing how to
prepare a chestnut stuf6ng for poultry,
milk pigs, fresh hams, etc, than other
more pretentious products. Here is
the formula: Roast a pint OF chestnuts
and peel off the outer and inner skin;
weigh them and simmer half a pound
of them for twenty minutes in as much
veal gravy as will cover them; drain
and let them cool; then pound them in
a mortar with four ounces of butter,
three ounces of bread crumbs, trife
of grated lemon peel, and powdered
mace, salt and pinch of cayenne, bind
the mixture with the yolk of three eggs.
When deviled almonds can not be had
for dessert, the chestnut thus prepared
is an admirable substitute. Peel the
raw chestnuts and scald them to re-
move the outer skin; put them in fry
ing pan with little butter and toss
them about few moments; add a
sprinkle of salt aud suspicion of cay

DODGING ISSUES.
Democratic Plans Upset by the Mckinley
Law.

Democratic Plans Upset by the Mckinley
Law.
1t becomes more and more plain. as
the time of the convening Of the Fifty
second congress approaches, that the
democrats, who have an overwhelm-
ingly majority in the house. will at
tempt to evade taking a positive posi-
tion on the tariff. Recent utterances
of democratic leaders seem to indicate
that the party will postpone taking ac
tlon in the next congress and go before
the country in 1892 on glittering gener-
alities between ''tariff reform" and
'free trade" But that is not what the
people want. They demand an express
sion upon this subject from the demo-
Gratis. The republican ideas have been
embodied in the Mckinley bill The
democrats have the house and it is
their business to shape and pass a
tariff bill, as they have promised to do.
Cowardice cannot win in 1892 The
house elected on the tariff issue in
1890, let it put tariff ideas into shape
OF else go out of business.
A leading candidate for the speaker
ship is Roger Q. Mills, of Texas. Dur
ing his recent speaking campaign he
declared what the country wanted and
needed and what the democratic party
would enact into law as soon as posi-
BILE was:
Free trade after the English style.
A tax on incomes for revenue
A tax on tea, coffee, sugar, etc, for
the maintenance of the government.
The republican party will be glad to
meet the democrats upon that plat
form. The party which Mr. Mills rep
resents ought to lose no time to en-
body these ideas into a bill, and the
people will express their opinion Of the
bill in 1892. 1t is we'll known that the
success of the Mckinley law has upset
the plans and theories of the demo-
crats but it is now too late to compro-
mise and postpone. The country de-
mands an expression. - Iowa State
