Scarcity of Money.

The money centers as well as the
rural districts. seem to be suffering for
want of money. TIE volume OF curren-
cy in circulation is so very small in
comparison so the great demands OF
the immense commerce of our country,
that even that class of fnanciers who
speculate and develop are recognizing
its insufficiency and are coming over to
the alliance demands for more
money. Each faction has its own ideas
of the way this deficiency should be
met, and yet the great central idea is
more money. 1t is a significant fact
the farmers who have heretofore trust
ed to others the management of the
nations finances, should have been the
first to see the great mistake which has
been made, and should have not only
struck the root of this great evil al
once, but should have also provided
a remedy. We say significant, be.
cause it enforces the fact that this re-
form movement is the result of great
necessity. The people have suffered,
but for years did not look for the cause,
and of course did not seek the proper
relief. Now they have looked deeper,
and not only found the cause of their
troubles. but have gone squarely to
work as an organized body setting forth
the evil and the remedies. Since so
many classes recognize the necessities
of reform in our finances, and are will

The Kentucky Alliance.

The democratic alliance candidates
have all been elected to the Kentucky
legislature, and there are enough OF
them to control the lower house. In
every instance where an alliance man
contested for a county nomination he
won, and in all cases where an alliance
man competed with a democrat at the
polls he carried the day. The republi-
can-third party combination failed in
gloriously, but the alliance democrats
had things about their own way. AS it
will devolve upon the next legislature
to adjust the laws to the new constitu-
ton, which draws very tight rein on
corporations, it is expected that all ALI
ance demands relative to the control
and limitations of the privileges of cor
porations will be met. But experience
has shown that farmers when control
ing the law-making bodies do not over
step the bounds of justice in dealing
with business interests, and it Is not
drobable that the Kentucky Legislature
will prove anv exception to the rule. The
adoption of the new constitution was al

ing to join with us in demand for
more money, there must be unity of
action as to the plan by which this
money is to be issued. In order to prop
erly understand this question, and ar
rive at the best plan of operation the
first question we should settle is: For
whom is this money to be issued?" Is it
to be issued for the people or for the
money kings, bondholders and political
bosses? We presume there is no
man who will not at once say the in
crease of currency should be for the
people, and not for the preferred few.
Now, if this new money be issued in
the old way what shall the people do?
l. there any way for them to get the
use of money under that system ex-
cept through shylocks, vampires and
money changers? No, we want the
governments promise to pay, not ma
tional bank notes, not gold and silver
certihcates-not even the fiat money
which provides no way of getting into
the hands OF the people, but we want
the money issued so the people can
get it at reasonable interest. That
being the case, this money must of
necessity be issued upon a sound basis,
and TO reach the people that must be
something that the people have. Then
we must see what the people have that
can be used as a basis for currency.
They have lands and crops. Land as a
basis for long loans has no equal nom
perishable farm products as basis for
short loans of six to twelve months have
no equal on earth, for they are subject
to natures immutable law of supply and

German
Syrup"

Here is something from MIR. Frank
A. Hale, proprietor of the De Witt
House, Lewiston, and the Tontine
Hotel, Brunswick, Me. Hotel men
meet the world as it comes and goes,
and are not slow in sizing people
and things up for what they are
worth. He says that he has lost
father and several brothers and sis
tiers from Pulmonary Consumption,
and is himself frequently troubled
with colds, and he
Hereditary often coughs enough
to make him sick at
Consumptionhis stomach. When
ever he has taken a
cold of this kind he uses Boschee's
German Syrup, and it cures him
every time. Here is a man who
knows the full danger of lung trou-
bles, and would therefore be most
particular as to the medicine he used.
What is his opinion? Listen II
use nothing but Boschee's German
Syrup, and have advised, I presume,
more than hundred different per-
sons to take it. They agree with
me that it is the best cough syrup

the outset very earnestly opposed by
the Courier-JOurnal, Gov. Buckner and
Senator Carlisle, but when they saw
the danger to the democratic party Of
their continued opposition they quietly
withdrew, cOntenting themselves with
the expression of their own opinion.
Hon. John Young Brown, the demo.
cratic candidate for governor, declined
to discuss the question of adoption on
the stump, merely declaring at one time
that he was in favor of it. So far as il
is concerned, the result of the election
leaves the party in fine feather and with
no embitterments in its ranks. But the
result, nevertheless, shows that the al.
lance in Kentucky, as in other states,
is mighty political power, and that it
must not be ignored by the politicians
in their calculations. 1t is strong
enough to put new men to the front
when it chooses to do so, and its leaders
have rare way of not wasting their
ammunition. The only interest the
alliance, as political organization, had
in the Kentucky election was to put
men in the legislature representing dis.
tinctly the farmer. This it has DONE
