The abundant grain crops of the West,
with the accompanying prospect of more
money for the farmers, has apparently les
sened somewhat the favor of the Alliance
theories In that region. In the South, on the
other hand, the farmers are organizing with
great energy and ability. Congressman
Oates. of Alabama, expresses views that in
dictate somewhat of "a panic in Democratic
circles in the south. He feels that his party
must fight the Alliance with all its might or
the Democrats will find themselves in the
minority One reason, probably the princi-
pal one, for the activity of the southern ALI.

cotton. Within few days the cotton mar

breadstuffs just as 1t does the industrial

was tremendous cotton crop, more than a
million bales larger than the previous
crop. The crop has proved to be
larger than the market, and the price has
dropped to from to cents pound, accord
Ing TO quality. When it is remembered that
under the most favorable circumstances the
cost of pound Of cotton in the bale is 7
cents, 1t is seen that the margin for the cot.

Mr.. Sherman Hoar made a curious blunder

Mr.. Sherman Hoar made curious blunder
In his Buffalo speech when he condemned
the reciprocity provisions embodied in The
Mckinley bill as "base counterfeits" of VIVA
he considers the ''real reciprocity" or, to de
scribe 1t more accurately, such reciprocity
as built up the trade ana commercial :marine
between our country and the Hawaiian is
lands" Mr.. Hoar could not have known
the facts about the Hawaiian treaty. Under
1t we let in Hawaiian sugar free of duty
while we kept on the duty on the sugar of
Cuba and other countries. The result was
the Hawaiian planters got just as much for
their sugar as the ruling market price lin the
United States, and did not have to pay out
any of 1t for duties as did Cuban and other
planters. Thirty or more millions of money
that naturally under the tariff law would
have gone into the United States treasury,
went into the pockets of the Hawaiian sugar
planters; and the American purchaser did
not get his sugar any cheaper. So much for
one side OF the Hawaiian treaty. The other
side was this, that American goods of GER
tain kinds were admitted to the islands free
OF duty, thus enlarging American trade.
But the funny part of it was that the total
amount of goods we sold In Hawaii did not,
IN their cash value, come up to the amount
OF duties the government would have COL
lected had there been no reciprocity. Iu
other words, the government would have
been better off and the purchasers of sugar
just as well off If the duty had been kept on
and the revenue raised had been used to buy
the goods which our merchants would have
sent to Hawaii, and which the government
could have burned or thrown into the sea or
given away. In other words, we bought
with our sugar duties every cent of the
Hawaiian trade. We paid the Hawaiians
directly for their sugar, and then indirectly
through RENTED duties paid them again
more than the value of the goods bought of
us. And yet Mr. Serman Hoar, who is to
sit in Congress for Massachusetts, considers
such an arrangement real reciprocity"
and holds 1t up as the sterling article, of
which he conceives the reciprocity of the
Mckinley bill to be base imitation. - The
reciprocity of the Mckinley bill has no. been
tried practically yet; but its friends rightly
hope that 1t will not operate as the Hawaiian
treaty has operated.

in case Mckinley does not defeat him. Now
that is exactly the thing Mckinley is going

the question arises, "Why does Mr.. Oates
say nothing about Mr.. Cleveland when be is

reason is simple. Mr.. Oates and the south
