MILLER PURvIs, life long Republi-
can, editor of the Farmers Alliance
Herald, ofMt. Gilead, is out strongly
against the reelection of Sen. Sherman
and the election of Mckinley for Gov
ernor. No consistent Farmers Alliance
man can vote for Mckinley or for a
member of the legislature who will vote
to return John Sherman to the Senate.
All the ills that the farmer is now suf-
fering are due to the legislation of the
shermans and McKinleys to the inter-
est of the classes and against the inter-
est of the masses.

THE gentlemen who have now come
forward with a proposition that the
United States and Mexico jointly guar
antee 500, 100000 of bonds to be used in
constructing the Tehauntepec ship rail-
way and canal, which was so long asso-
ciated with the name of the late Capt.
Eads, doubtless think they have as
much right to ask and expect such
as have Ex-senator Warner
Miller and the other eminent Republi-
can.politicians who are manipulating
the Nicarauga.canal scheme-and they
have. But this Government should
not guarantee bonds for either of the
schemes.

The worst thing yet charged by the
daring Iconoglast against George Wash
irgton is that he was the originator of
the genus, real estate boomer, and what
is worse, the charge is proved by the ex-
hibition Of a newspaper. advertisement

as one of the special advantages of

the State West Virginia, that it was
near the mouth of the Great Kanawha

TWENTY pounds of sugar for $1.0O is
a good thing, but when we come to
consider that the government must al
so pay 40 cents besides on this 20 lbs.
of sugar we at once reflect that this

it does in tariff taxes on other articles

DEAR BIR;-I am In receipt Of your letter Of

tlOnS:
First-Is the basement OF the pOstOdlCe build.
ing OF Kansas City used for the storage OF
liquors?
seCOnd-Has II been used for the storage OF
liquors manufactured by either or all Of the dis

lngs?
In reply would say that am not aware chat
tho basement or any other portion Of the post
ONCE building at Kansas City is now used for the
storage Of liquors or has ever been no useu. /
do not sec how the pOstOfiCe building could be
used for any such purpose. IL Is very certain
that II has never been used for the purpose Of
storing spirits belonging 10 any distllleT BY the
provisions OF section S27i, revised statutes Of The
United States, every distilleT Is required at his
own expense 10 provide a warehouse TO be used
only for tho storage OF distilled spirits Of his own
manufacture. The government never provides
warehouses for distilled spirits belonging TO dis
tilloTB. This, I take II, win answer your second
question As well 40 your first.
lido not know what you have reference TO by
"the new warehouse at that place." II you have
reference to any government warehouse would
answer a. above that no distilled spirits arc
stored there for the benefit OF diStlllers.
The only law upon the subject OF the storage
Of distilled spirits win be found in the said 500
tlOh 827l, revised statutes.
There seems TO be pOpularimpresEOD which
should be corrected, that the government in
come way provides warehouses for distilled splr,
lts for distillers. This 10 mistake Nothing OF
tho kind ls now done or has ever been done un-
der the internal revenue system. Very truly

fully renew the old time contest for

consequence OF the difference Of opin-

out the payment Of a single mill OF

Of the expiration Of the full three
years, store them in foreign ware
houses for an indefinite period, and
finally re-import them subject only TO
the customs duty, and all this time
they are largely increasing in value,
Third-On their re-importation into
this country they are entitled TO stor-
age in the custom house instead OF
the distillery warehouse, and they
may remain in the custom house for
another term OF three years at the
discretion Of the distiller. The base
ment OF the pOstofiice building in
Kansas City, which has served the
purpose Of a custom house, has re-
Ceived It's quota Of this class Of goods,
and we have the testimony of respect
