Tho Plutocrats In the Two Old Parties Are
Getting Ready to Fuse.
One Of the most cheering evidences
OF the progress Of reform and the
power which it wields may be found in
the fusion between the two old parties
that is being consummated in different
parts of the country. Nothing save a
realizing sense Of their danger and the
necessity for desperate fight for self
preservation would ever force these old
enemies of thirty years and more to
combine against what they are pleased
to call q common foe By SO doing they
make two important admissions: First
of their wavering strength, and,
second, the absence of an important is
sue between them. These are confu-
sions thatindicate q complete change of
men and methods, or final disruption
or disintegation. It discloses q want
of confidence in themselves, and is an
acknowledgment of the power of

THE suB-TREAsuRY PLAN.

Under Its Benign Operation tho Farmes
Would Have Received the Not Price Paid
By the French Consumer.
A most important step in the direc.
ton OF government control of produc-
ton and distribution has just been taken
by the French government Enormous
purchases of grain and meat have re.
Gently been made on it's account in
Chicago. They are said to have bought
flour to the extent of 1000, 900 barrels
and $4,000, 900 bushels of grain. All
this will go in duty free, and in addi-
ton there will be great saving in the
cost of buying and shipping as COM
pared with the expense involved in or
binary commercial transactions under
the competitive system. Thus France
will be in position to supply her people
directly through the government with
cheap food at time when the other
nations of Europe are suffering from
scarcity OF bread augmented by high
tariffs. This is a very practical answer
to the critics of nationalism, who de-
light in pointing out how impossible it
would be for the government to con-
duct satisfactorily those large CONNER
clal transactions now left to- private
enterprise. While these wiseacres
have been demonstrating to their own
satisfaction the absurdity of the idea
that the government should undertake
the work of distribution and how much
better these things are settled under
competition according to the principle
of supply and demand, the French re-
public, quietly disregarding all theories
and seeking only for the best and most
practical way of meeting the dangers
of famine and popular discomfort,
undertakes the obvious duty of gov
eminent in seeing that the people are
supplied with food, regardless
of the interests of proitmongers and
middlemen. The spectacle is an in.
structive one, and we may depend upon
it that when the people have expert
enced the solid advantages of the
measure they will not be satisfied in
the future to pay tribute with every
loaf they purchase to produce exchange
operators and the whole host of toll
takers who stand between the farmer
in America and the European consum-
er. The populations of other countries
will not be slow in demanding that
their governments shall follow the ex-
ample set by France. Think how much
it would have saved our farmers, poor
in the midst of plenty, had our govern.
ment been acting as their agent in the
transaction and handed over to the
actual producers the amount received
from the French, less only the actual
expenses incurred in negotiating the
sale!-Journal of Knights of Labor.

was good thing; but the moment
they conclude they have some rights
that even politicians shall respect, and
determine to enforce those rights with
the ballot, then they become dema-
gogues and Missionaries, and their organ
ization becomes an element of danger
to the country. Of one thing Senator
Morgan and his fellow compatriots of
the north may rest assured, the alliance
has gone into politics, and it has gone
in to stay until the justice of its claims
is recognized and it's demands are given
the force of law. The wall of despair
from expiring politicians will not save
