"Resolved, That taxpayers, their

Is the board of equalization a crea-
ture of the law, or do they create the
law? There is another of the many
instances in Tennessee where the laws
as they are are disregarded and the

matters in their own hands. There

Threats, Threats.

The Progress Farmer, the State al
lance organ, owned and published by
L. L. Polk, President of the National
Alliance, says editorially in it's issue of
today:
The question, what will the Alliance
do with the new party? is on the lips
of tens of thousands of anxious people
today Well, it ought not to take
much wisdom to answer that question.
The new party has adopted the ALI
ance demands into its platform. Does
anyone suppose intelligent alliance
men will vote against party that
adopts those demands, and in favor of
party that not only fails to adopt,
but resists those demands? The
western alliance States have already
gone into the new party. Willnot the
necessity for alliance unity force the
other alliance States to go into the new
party also ? We see no way to pre-
vent the new party from sweeping the
country, except the simple one of
cheerfully conceeding to the people
everyone of their just demands. If the
alliancemen are to be blamed for Civ
ing in to the third party, then the
hungry child can be blamed for going
to some one vino can and will furnish
him food
Gentlemen of the old parties, if the
time comes when your ranks will be
broken, your leaders overthrow and
your heritage taken from you, do not
blame the alliance for your ruin. The
people, represented by the Farmers
Alliance, have petitioned and begged
and pleaded and prayed for relief all
these years; and naughty minions of
political power have spurned both
them and their petitions and prayers,
Do not blame them for your overthrow
but blame your own blind miserable
folly"
We know Col. Polk personally. He
is fine looking man, fine tall1er and
an INSCRIPTIONS politician. He would
be very glad of the nomination for first
or second place on the presidential
ticket in 1892. But such a nomination
even by the third party cranks, would
be putting a fifty dollar saddle on
twenty dollar horse. Let them
threaten; give the foolish crew rope
enough and they will hang themselves.

Hits the Nail.

That the wild subtreasury schemes
of the Alliance men, are not the
offspring of sound judgement and good
sense, becomes more and more appar-
ent every day. The following from
the Bolivar Bulletin hits the nail
squarely on the head:
at is stated that there is millions in
cotton to the farmer if he will only
hold on and for the purpose of enab-
ling the farmer 'to hold on it is
thought to be necessary to build ware
houses and secure Government aid.
The last season is not an exceptional
one. Suppose the farmers had de-
posted his last years crop in ware
house? Would he not have lost 2
cents pound on account of the differ
ence in price, and also lost in weight,
besides the expense account of interest
on the money, insurance, storage, the
tax for building the warehouses and
the tax for passing the Federal Off
cials2 Again, if there is millions in
holding cotton, why is it that those
who hold do not amass million?
Many of the merchants hold cotton
yet there has been an unprecedented
number of failures among merchants.
The truth of the business is that the
cotton market of the United States is
regulated by the markets of Liver
pool, and that is regulated by supply
and demand. Hence those whose who
believe that warehouses would enhance
the price of cotton are wanting in facts
to substantiate their judgment"

ADrum mer,s Remedy.

One night this spring, on train com
ing east on the Erie road, the porter of q
sleeping car aroused half dozen of the
male sleepers to ask if they had anything
with them to cure case of the collie. A
drummer for city hardware house
fumbled around in his coat and finally
said:
"Here's a box of soda mints which may
help him. He can use the whole box and
be hanged to him, for he's no business to
have the co1icI'
Nothing further was heard of the case
until morning, when strapping young
man, with far west look to his hair,
came into the sleeper with the mint box
in his hand, and inquired for the drum
mer and said:
"Took 'em all but one, and they
smashed my collie right in the eye. How
much to pay?"
Nothing, sir. I'm only too glad to
have been of service to YOU"
When the other had gone the drum
mer opened the box and we saw his hair
trying to climb up.
"Great Scott, boysl but what do you
Think" he gasped.
"What is it,"
ST gave him the wrong box, and he's
swallowed eleven bone collar buttonsp
