The buoyancy of the Vanderbilt

properties In which they arc interested,
and that they never In any circum-
stances have used any of their proper
ties as . ''bear club" to knock down the
prices of stocks. 1t Is equally well
known that Mr.. Gould has never taken
hold Of property that did not wither
at his touch. His whole career from
Erie to Wabash bears eloquent testi-
mony to this, and the climax Is fur.

ers, they are loudly calling for the
national government to convert itself
into a farmers bank for their exclusive
benefit, with the right of drawing up
on 1t 50 per cent IL advance on their
farm products and of obtaining loans
on their lands at 2 per cen in advance
on their farm products, and of obtain
ing loans on their lands at . per cent,
when the average rate of interest on
money in the United States. is not less
than s per cent. Rabid opponents of
railroads and telegraph monopolies,
and favored manufacturers, they are
seeking to obtain special privileges

cracy of farmers.

Tue CHARGE OF THE LAFAYETTE
BRIGADE.-Our predictions in the last
two issues of the Review, as to the
PRESENT aims and views of the farmers
alliance. and what would be the results
OF their labors in their state cOnven-
ton at Lafayette. last week, have been
fully verified.
No man who has read with care the
report of their proceedings no demo-
crat who sincerely believes in the
soundness of the principles of his
party no Louisianian who has at
heart the welfare and prosperity of his
state no citizen who has patriotism
enough to view the situation from a
disinterested and dispassionate stand
point, a fail to agree with us, upon
reflection, that the members of the
farmers alliance. misled by ambitious
dreamers, supported by a gang of
trucking politicians have, in their
enthusiasm overleaped all bounds Of
reason, determined to cross tie Rubi-
con to rule or ruin.
Contrary to what the lottery press
may say, the committee of ants who
met the alliance at Lafayette. did not
capture the far mers. The evers is
the case. The alliance with a forced,
bland smile, wiped the floor with us.
