The National Economist Almanac is the
cheapest and most valuable publication
for farmers and Alliance men that has
aver been presented to the public. 1t IL
a perfect handbook and gives valuable
facts nowhere else to be found. For two

almanac postpaid. You can't afford to dc
without it. It is worth ten times the

s%titutional, The PROGRESSIVE FARMER
opened its columns to him to discuss
the matter as well as other objections
which that organ preferred against
him. What could have been falrer
than such a prefer? And yet it was
not taken advantage of. Unconstitu
tional, eh2 Why don't those who
make this asseveration, instead of de
nouncing it as a crude invention OF
ignorant ~hayseeders, prove it to be so?
Some of these very ~hayseeders, to
gether with the national organ OF the
~hayseeders, the National Economist,
have challenged those who oppose
them either to suggest a more feasible
plan or prove its unconstitutlonallty.
The National Economist invited con.
stitutional lawyers to use its columns
for this purpose, bu5 no n has re-
sponded. In fact, the Alliance has
given to outsiders every fair chance
in the world to prove this bill to be
unconstitutional. Even individual
hayseeders have thrown down the
9Suntlet with no one to take 1t up.
President Livingston, of the Georgia
Alliance, and Harry Tracy, of Texas,
have challenged any one to stump
with them their respective States upon
this question, but as yet no one has
accepted. Is any nan 6t to represent
us in the U. s. Senate who shirks a
discussion of measures which he has
denounced when politely invited to
explain himself
No one will call in question Senator
Vance's services in the past. He is
given all due credit for that; but,
however great they may have been,
they have nothing to do with the pres
ent or the future. NooO is the time
that conce ms US; present, llO1ng issues
must be met, issues requiring a
change of base from efete doctrines,
and those time worn politicians who
have become too superanuated to ap,
preciate and join heart and soul with
the great changes of the present,
which is paving the way for a popular
millennium, should retire upon their
past laurels. When a horse gets too
old to do service he is turned out upon
a pasture, and so should politicians
when they fail to see and meet the
crying wants of the people, be rele.
gated to a pasture of political oblivion.
Let the dead past bury its dead. The
future is the thing for US, and all who
interfere with it's now bright prospects
should be thrust aside. We have
made the present u of the sad ex-
perience of the past, and let US I'm
no risk in getting back into those ter
ribIe old ruts. Our danger lies IN the
burden of too much victory by being
so we'll satisfied with it that we may
slack in our efforts to hold on to it or
make it greater. But now is the time
to redouble our efforts; hold on to
what we have obtained and continue
ceaselessly, like the SNOWFALL that en-,
larges the more it is kept rolling, to
gather strength. We are now a
veritable Goliah, and it will be our
own fault if we permit any David to
enter our camp, with his sling, to hit
us to death in the forehead with a
stone. U. B. GWYNN.

TO COUNTY AND sUB-ALLI-
ANCES.

I now call upon all County and Sub
Alliances to send in their orders for N. q.
F. A. Official Guano early. There are
many reasons why it should@be done.
If your orders are placed early, the goods
can be placed at your depots, and you
can have it out at your convenience
anc the transportation companies will
not be so crowded when the rush for
guano is on. It will cost you no more as
interest does not begin till April lst. Send
in the company's printed notes, and if you
wish to pay cash at any time you can
take up your notes and stop interest.
We expect a very large trade in guano
this year and will be able to furnish all
who wish it if orders will be sent in good
time. BUTT all wait till about the time
to commence using it, the transportation
companies cannot % it as fast as 1t is
wanted. At next county meetings, on
the second Friday in January, it would
be well to have the matter discussed and
estimate of amount wanted and forward
to the company. Although the price of
materials are higher, we pay the same
for the goods and have It guaranteed to
be fully up to what it was last season.
Please bring this matter before each
Sub Alliance.

THE TRADE OUTLOOK
Weekly Review of r. G. Dun

SURPRISE CONGRATULATIONS.
Money Markets and Trade Well Sustained,
With Money Sufficient for All Le-
gitimate Wants-Crops
and Prospects.

New YORK June 5.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review Of trade says: While
hesitation i'll business has not ceased, and
decided activity is hardly expected now
until after the close of the fiscal year it
continues to be n matter Of surprise and con-
graduation that the money markets and
trade have been so well sustained. in spite
of the heavy exports of gold. The New
York market has been easy. rates on call
dropping from 81 to 3 per cent, with heavy
receipts from the interior. Reports from
other cities show that money IS tighter In
St Louis and Nashville, but with supply
for all legitimite needs, and easy at all
other points reported. Almost everywhere
the outlook is hopeful.
Failures at Boston have made shoe manu-
facturerS cautious. Hides are easy. dry
goods quiet and wool sales moderate.
Throughout the West and South fine crop
prospects give encouragement. Almost all
the complaint now coming from New Or
leans Is drouth in the adjoining resious.
In the Northwest continuous rains have
made prospects unsurpassed. At Louisville
the outlook is good but at Nashville "a
heIvv dry goods failure causes some de-
preston. and there is no Improvement at
Memphis.
New Orleans reports trade dull. cotton in
fair demand, sugar active, molasses dull
and rice quiet and lower. AT Savannah
trade improves, and at Jacksonville is quite
steady There is better demand for iron,
as vet without change in prices, more or
derS for structural iron come from the
break in building strikes Especial caution
appears in boot and shoe trades, and abuses
of credit are being corrected. In dry goods
it is noted that there is no talk of prices as
usual on the eve Of new season in mems
wear goods. and business in light weights
is not what was expected, but orders for
dress goods are far III excess of any pre-
ViOus season.
Sales Of some cotton goods are recorded at
the lowest prices ever made. Wool moves
slowly. but yielding ut the West gives bet
ter prospect. In breadstuffs the decline
continues, and wheat is 214c lower,
corn 20, oats 80, and cotton also declined
> l-lGc. Pork products are lower, and coffee
about sc, while tin, copper and lead are all
stronger. The general approach of harvest.
which is expected to be most bountitul. has
its natural effect on prices, and trade is but
little embarrassed by speculative move

Couldn't Trust His Countrvmeu.

Bismarck relates the following anecdote:
One day the physicians in attendance on
the Gar Nicholas recommended their
august patient to have his back rubbed.
The emperor had no one about his person
whom he saw fit TO intrust with the eper-
alton. In his dilemma he decided to write
TO King Frederick William w, asking
him to send to st. Petersburg a few sub
altern officers of the Prussian guards.
These administered in turns the prescribed
amount of friction and when the cure was
completed were richly rewarded for their
pains
$50 long as 1 see my Russians face to
face" said the car, everything goes we'll,
but as for letting them rub my back won't
risk it."-La Famille.
