On last Saturday evening We saw
q good illustration of the Farmers
Alliance. It was spider trying to
swallow q toad frog. The spider
represents the Alliance and the frog
represents the monOpolies. The spi-

neck, and If he hand not been dis.
turbed would have soon succeeded
in swallowing him. And SO it is
with the Alliance, it has the mOnol-
olies by the neck and if it is not dis
turbed will soon succeed in swallow
ing the monopolies.
