The Alliance.

1t is an attitude at once dignified and
encouraging when men and women who
are compelled to struggle for bread are
at the sahe time battling for princi-
pie. Such a position holds the physic-
al, intellectual and moral powers, of
humanity in complete and ennobling
equipose, No part of our nature is
warped and distorted while symmetry
and strength ennoble our being and
dignity our achievements Thus stu
ated in conflict we are ready, and in
victory we are considerable. 1t is not
presumptu0us in us to saw that this is
precisely the position occupied bv the
Alliance forces at the present time.
Our mission is not merely to better our
financial and temporal condition, but to
call back the people to a renewed con-
sideration OF the principles of liberty
and justice. The best elements of the
country are being awakened to the fear.
fui fact that we are. as nation, drift
ing away from our moorings. Indeed
it cannot be otherwise. Never yet In
the history of our race has the world
been lead astray by following the guild
ance of the tillers OF the soil. No class
OF the community stand so close to the
forms and forces of nature, and none
ore taught by voices and impulses more
inspiring and reliable. What may be
wasting in brilliancy of accomplish
ment, is more than supplied by
the sequences of experience. They
may not all be exactly scientific in for
mulating the technicalities of expressed
desire, but these seldom if ever fail to
base their demands ON the broad and
immutable principles of human freedom
and prosperity. When. therefore, an
element like this calls the nation to
new awakening to turn deaf ear to
their appeal is the greatest misfortune
and folly. Moving as they do under
the overpowering conviction of the
justice of their cause. to attempt to turn
them back to condition from which
they have escaped would be as unwisc
as it would be difficult and dangerous.
To arrest the avalanche-rush of awak-
ened millions like these, if it might
be thought desirable, will be found to
be absolutely impossible They are
moving toward what they feel to be
their rights, and no barriers interposed
by partisan hate or monopolistic greed
will stop their onward progress. Over
these frail obstacles their tread will be
like the resistless march of q storm.
Every wis man will be quick to settle
it in his mind that conditions that
make it necessary for one-half our peo-
pie to suffer from want. that the other
half may enjoy sufeit of luxury. can
not much longer continue. We are not
able to definitely tell through what
forms of commotion and conflict we may
be able to pass in reaching our purpose;
but it need be. sterner and more de-
termined conflict than history knows
must precede the day o. finale triumph.
Vainer than dream is the eXpectat-
ton of arresting this onward movement.
The entire country has heard the shout
of the advancing hosts, and the hour of
deliverance is near at hand.-Pacific
Union Alliance.

VIII Resist the Tax.

ARKANSAS CITY, Ks. June 22.-The
Cherokee Indians and the cattle men
occupying the Cherokee strip with their
immense herds of cattle, are about to
begin a red hot fight over the 5000, 000
acres of pasture. Treasurer Ross of
the Cherokee nation, arrived here to-
day and served notice on the cattle men
to pay the Cherokee tax of 81 per head,
or their cattle would be seized and con-
fiscated according to law. AS the
amount demanded will aggregate con-
siderably over 100000, it is worth
fighting for, and the cattle men say
they will refuse. They deny the right
of the Indians to the strip, and there is
France will be asked to appropriate
l 200, 900 francs for her exhibit at Chica-
90 fair as.

Fsedi1s Fowls fer Eye,

Iojudicious feeding is one of the most
prolific causes OF disease and troubles in
poultry. Over-fed hens cease to lay or
the eggs are soft-shelled. No more
food should be given than will be eaten
up clean, A writer in the American
Agriculturist, recognizing these facts,
recommends the following plan of feed
ing: Grown fowls should be fed only
twice ,lay-at morning and evening.
At noon on our place the different
strains are turned out separately into
their exercising ground, where there is
pile of earth tnrown up and sown with
grain. They scratch into this heap for
the hidden food aud strengthen their
muscles while doing it. The food fur.
nished grown birds should be of kind
to make muscle without too much fat
The greater the vari, ty Of food the
better. The follow iag mixture is found
to be excellent for producing egg ma
terial and for making healthy, strong
bodies. Three sacks of wheat, two
sacks of broken corn, two sacks of oats,
one bushel of ground oyster shells, one
bushel Of broken charcoal, one gal
lon OF sulphur and one-halt bushel Of
salt, all thoroughly well mixed. Town
raised chicks need some meat, and this,
boiled and chopped fine, is given them
two or three times week.

Northwestern Miller.l

A surprisingly large amount OF COM
ment has been evoked from the general
press Of the country by an article lately
published and which Is TO the effect that
in the course of few years America
will be wheat importing rather than a
wheat exporting country. The writer
advances large member of figures and
statistics TO substantiate his position,
aud for figures and statistics all Ameri-
cans have respect bordering on the
abject.
Yet it does seem that very little re-
Election with regard to the natural fea-
lures of America ought TO convince any
one that we can go near to doubling our
present wheat production whenever II
pays to do so, and that quite easily.
The fact is, not that America cannot
nay. enormously increase her wheat
growing area, but, rather, as every
member Of the grain trade well knows,
that cheap production of wheat. mainly
IN Russia, has taken away large slice
OF our wheat market, besides having so
cheapened the cereal as to make it very
difficult in many sections to grow 1t at
profit.
Let Russia step out Of the field and
our crops would almost at once be
brought up to point which would fill
the place Of the supplies now sent from
that country. The farmer knows as well
as any man what is good for him, and
he is tired Of growing wheat for nothing
or next to it. 1t is not wheat land that
is lacking, nor is it the increased con
sumption thai renders our exports
smaller; but it 70 the influx OF cheap
wheat into the markets which once
bought our own almost exclusively.
To be sure, the increase in our popu'
lation will in the course OF fifty years
or so begin to make an impression on
the consumption. Yet We think it will
be much more than fifty years before
we shall be unable to supply all the
wheat to Europe that we can find a
market for at living price.
