FIRST OF ALL DEMOCRATS.

From the Charleston New, and Courier.
With the exception of Colonel Eli
son s. Keitt, all of the alliance leaders
in this state who have exhibited weak
ness for the third party movement have
pledged their sacred honor to stand by
the regular democratic nominations. II
Mr.. Cleveland shall be nominated they
will support him and work for him to
the end. There is not a southern state,
unless it be North Carolna-and We
are not willing to believe that even Col.
Folks own state is willing to turn back
on the party-that will not vote for the
democratic candidate for president,
whoever he may be. The alliance has
met with overwhelming defeat in Miss
issippi. In Tennessee the alliance has
permitted its charter to die of hamilton.
In South Carolina the order is not
holding its own. In Florida there are
evidence of disintegration. In all the
southern states the alliance are first OF
all democrats.

Changes In the Constitution.
INDIANAPOLIS, IxD., November A.-The al
lance council has made several changes in
the constitution. The first change disquali-
fies business agents from membership in the
council, because 1t may become Necessary
for the council to SIT in judgment on the
agents, and it is not thought proper that
agents should be members of the body that
il to inquire into their alleged misdoipgs.
Tho second change permits females to pay q
per capita tax and thus become basis for
representation, the same as males. The
third change Fefers the matter of eligi-
bility for membership. Hitherto, persons of
mixed occupations could JOIN the alliance.
This clause was repealed and in its place was
adopted provision that the membership
shall be restricted to farmers and farm la
borers. An amendment was proposed 70 ad-
init city mechanics but was voted down.
The committee on confederation reported,
recommending confederation with the
knights of Labor. +. N. b. A. and . dozen

delegates to the February assembly of these

circumstances

PARTISAN JOURNALISM.

The Alliance Advocate of Topeka, be.
ing to a greater degree partisan jour
nal than any other publication in Kan.
sas, as itself will not have the cheek to
dispute, confesses that the character OF
partisan journalism is interruptions
using disreputable methods to deceive,
with persistent effort. 1t further calls
partisan journals, of course including
itself, clustering and Growing political
ROSTERS, having polluted carcasses,
making frantic efforts, being corrupt,
to deceive.
All these ejaculative phrases appear
in one leading editorial in the Advocate,
and, taken as a confessed description of
its own character as partisan journal,
will not be disputed, for it is truthful to
that extent.
But that this mud singing can be
made to stick to partisan journals
Kansas generally, or that they vi
quietly lie still for it to be rubbed in,
not likely.

SINGULAR CONDUCT OF THE
FREE TRADERS.

From the New York Sun.
When tho reciprocity plan and pro-
gramme we're put forth by Mr.. Blaine.
tho free traders very generally hailed
the new policy with shouts Of triumph.
They pretended to find in it evidence
that the secretary OF state was coming
over to their ground, and was already
about half way to free trade.
Why is it, then, that every apparent
~ successful move IN the direction
pointed out by Mr.. Blaine is misrepre-
sented and ridiculed by the free trade
organs, while every seeming rebuff or
difficulty in the way of extending Amer
lean trade is magnified and dwelt upon
with evident JOY by these same enemies
OF the protective tariff!

PROTECTION.

Il Secures a Safe Market. Steady
Work and Low Prices For Goods.
From the Cleveland Leader.
Cheapness of production must depend
almost entirely upon the continuous
and regular employment Of the means
Of production. Tho manager Of a Mass
achusstts cotton factory has said that
with $4,000 spindle mill, running con-
tinuously, he would produce 17,5OO,O 900
yards Of print clcth per year at 21-1OO
cents por yard. Running nine months
in the year, be would produce ID, 124,-
475 yards, at a cost of 3 49, 100 cents
per yard. In other words, it costs one.
bali cent more per yard to run three.
quarters time than to run full time.
Protection secured the steady patron
age of 65, 100000 people and thus ena-
bled the works to run continuously,
thereby causing saving in price Of
one half cent per yard and a cheapening
Of the product to customers. So with
tho large establishments where boots
and shoes are made by machinery. The
labor cost of women's shoes per pair in
this country is 25 cents against "a cents
for the same English shoe; OF mems
shoes the labor cost Is 80 cents for
American against so cents for English.
In dyeing yarn an American establish
ment pays 81 per day wages and pro-
duces 100 pounds of yarn for 40 cents.
A Belgium establishment, with labor at
so cents per day, produces 100 pounds
at labor cost of $1.25.
The free trade country has no sure
market to depend upon. and cannot,
therefore, produce continually and as
cheaply as protected country. Amer
leans can produce many articles cheaper
than Europeans, because the unfailing
market offered by our people enables
them to prepare for producing on a
large scale with a perfect assurance Of
demand for all they can supply.

measures are evidences Of forgetfulness,

them, must stand the blame. But it
they are not, the same party must be
given the credit due. This is but jus.

stand or fall on this proposition.

SENATOR PLUMB's ESTIMATES

WASHINGTON, D. CA reporter oil
the Globe Democrat called on Senator
Plumb, who said:
II am going home to-day, not to re.
turn until the first Monday in Decem-
Der. 1 only came here to arrange for
quarters during the session"
us the political situation in Kansas
favorable to the republicans?''
The senator replied with emphasis
"Undoubtedly. The result shows that
there is no doubt whatever about the
position of Kansas next year. do not
mean to say or to imply that the farm
ers' alliance party has disappeared, but
the recent election makes it quite ap-
parent that large majority of the PEG.
pie Of Kansas are opposed to third party
action and also opposed to the alleged
principles upon which it was eought to
found such action.
1.-THE conservative, sensible farmers
of Kansas recognize that the permanent
public opinion of the country can best
find expression through the republican
party, and will be mainly found in its
ranks hereafter as heretofore. It is pos.
sible that the entire opposition may
unite on the electoral ticket, but in any
event the presidential vote of Kansas
will be given to whoever the republic
cans nominate. The party is letter Or

REPUBLICAN SUCCESS ASSURED.
"What do you think about the out
look for next year,"
II have no reason to change the opin.
ion which I expressed to you last spring
to the effect that the chances we're with
the republicans. During the last cam.
paign, where national issues were pre-.
sented, the result was favorable. The
campaign OF next year will be decided
on national issues alone.
1.-The republicans will have the advan-
tage of being right upon these issues;
of having given to the country during
the last four years an administration of
a practical and useful character, not OK.
ceeded in its entire history. and it is
undoubtedly as true now as heretofore
that upon national affairs the republic
can party has fair majority in the
country. The chances for success will
also, no doubt, be augmented by the &C.
ton of the next house of represen.
tatives.
The American people are both enter
prising and conservative. They want
the best possible opportunity to labor
with head and with hands, and equally
good security that they will be permit
ted to retain the results of their labor.
The democratic party is naturally de-
IF the new house Of representatives
does anything Of kind calculated to
threaten investments, and to disturb the
and natural order of business,
it will result that majority of the peo-
pie will inevitably turn to the republic
can party, which means development
aud not destruction.

Strong then. the Chances Of Peace.

BERLIN, November @.-The papers of this
city. on apparently good grounds, associate
the Russian ukase. prohibiting the export of
wheat and wheat products, With the failure
of tho overtures of the Russian finance min
lister to re- open the German market to tho
Russian loans. 1t is understood that dip!o-
matte approaches through Count Won Schou-
valof, the Russian ambassador at Berlin, on
the attitude of tho government received a do
clsive rebuff. The refusal of the German
government to permit bankers to bolster up
tho Russian credit, ends for a long time to
come the chances for Russia's borrowing
money abroad, and strengthens the chances
of peace.

THE QUESTION OF SILVER.

The New York Chamber OF Commerce
has Just held its 123d annual dinner.
Hon. Charles Foster was introduced
and he made the speech of the evening.
His subject was: ITO MAINTAIN the par
ity between gold and silver is the fixed
policy of the government" Mr.. Foster
spoke substantially as follows:
Prior to 1880 we had many sound
thinking men who believed that our
financial structure should be based up.
on gold alone. 1t is now agreed on all
sides that gold alone furnishes too mar
row basis. Fifteen years ago the peo-
pie of the east INDUCED in prophecy as
to the evil that would follow such q
large coinage OF silver dollars. The
great financiers Of the country held that
parity could not be maintained, even
with smaller coin. Notwithstanding
the doleful predictions, We have coined
over $4O0. 900, 900 and purchased about
$7O,O00.OO0 worth of silver bullion at a
gold value and paid for it by the issue
of about $70.000.00O of new treasury
notes, aud yet parity is maintained; 90
now, men whose intelligence and pa
triotism cannot be questioned and whose
purposes are most exalted, are moved
to indulge in gloomy forbodings over
the present outlook, and propose to re-
peal the present law authorizing the
purchase of 100000 ounces of silver
per month, to be paid in new treasury
notes. The question to consider is now,
what policy is attainable remembering
all the time that the ideal is impossible) J.
In my opinion, with all Of our power,
We could not maintain parity OF the two
metals il the policy of free coinage of
silver prevailed. 1 am firmly of the
opinion that the parity OF the two
metals can be maintained under the
present policy. We produce in this
country about 100000 OF gold an.
nunlly. The present indications are
that the balance OF the trade with Tor
eign nations for the next two years, and
for longer period il the present tariff
laws are maintained. will require gold
shipments to us to pay the balances in
our favor. Under the present policy We
buy 100000 ounces Of silver every
month. paying for this purchase its
value in new treasury notes. Under
such conditions the work OF maintain
ing parity will not require any extraor-
binary exercise OF power or be q strain
upon the resources OF the country.
Under free coinage silver would take
the place Of gold in settling balances.
II the price of silver was advanced from
81 to sl.29 per ounce, all silver for
coinage would be attracted to this
country. To maintain parity under
such conditions would be task requir-
ing more than our immense resources
and exercise OF unusual power to the
last degree could supply. But with
100000 ounces of silver only per
month, purchased at its gold value. the
task would be easier. In nv opinion,
gentlemen, the especial question for
you to consider is, which OF theee two
policies will You prefer. I know you
have expressed desire for the repeal
OF The present law, and understand you

THE NEGLECTED FARMER.

From the Kansas CITY. Mo-. Journal.
In a somewhat lengthy report sent
out by the Associated Press, the head
OF the national bureau of agriculture
tells tho people what he has done for
them during the year just past. Briefly
put, the American farmer is shown how
much he has raised, in aggregate and
in detail; be 10 told OF tho advantages
that have been secured for him by the
agricultural department in the way OF
securing wider and more remunerative
markets; how much has been gained by
these added markets; how various dis
eases among cattle have been prevented
from spreading; how the flesh OF dis
sassd animals is kept out of the mar.
kets, and how food adulteration has
been restrained.
This, in brief. is the work that has
been done. The American farmer who
says that this has not been directly
beneficial to him. indicates q perverse
spirit OF an ignorance OF facts. And yet
it is very frequently heard in seasons
OF hard times and bad crops, that the
government-or more commonly the
republican party-has done nothing for
the farmer; that the legislation has all
been in favor of the rich manufacturer,
ard that the poor toiler in the field is
forgotten. Perhaps 1t is forgetting the
poor farmer to widen the market for his
hogs by SIC, 900, 900 in one year; per.
haps il is neglecting the cattle raiser to
stamp out by quarantine a disease
amoug cattle: which cost him millions
every season; perhaps it is true that
the farmer has been overlooked when

much thought to this phase Of the SUBJ
ject, for the reason that I do not be-
lieve congress will endorse your views
But think can see clearly that il the
government goes out Of the market the
price will decline; perhaps it will be a
large decline, in which case the task of
maintaining parity will be enbarrass-
ing and difficult. Believing that the
good sense OF the business world must
in the near future, be brought into har-
mony with us in the proposition that
gold alone Is too narrow base upon
which to build the worlds financial
structure, I have much hope that the
best Judgment of all concerned will
agree to q better and moro extended
use of silver, to be followed by inter.
national agreements by which patty
of the two metals, upon an accepted
ratio, may be maintained. I feel quite
safe in saying that one Of the hindrances
to an early agreement in the direction
I have indicated is the belief in Europe
that free coinage is to be the policy of
the country. II this is to be our policy
they know their silver will come to us
and that our gold will go to them. Is
it no. the part OF wisdom for US to re-
frain from doing anything that will i'm
pair our ability to preserve parity? It
will convince Europe that We will not
permit ourselves to fail in this respect,
and all obstacles to the agreement SO
much desired are removed"
