the bondsmen after being consulted
decided to make good the amount

Alliance Exchanges.

The Chickasaw Messenger, official
journal of the Farmers Alliance for
Mississippi, discussing the subject of
Alliance Exchanges, says:
With the lesson taught us by the
grange experiment we would not, if
we had controlled the matter, have
established the State Exchange for
many reasons
l. All merchants were Ineligible
to membership under the constitution,
and if that document was respected
there could not be found in the order
man thoroughly posted in the COM
nlercial affairs of the day, and as II
consequence, if the exchange was es-
tablished the Alliance was compelled
to place at its head an inexperienced
man, and pit him in competition with
the shrewdest business men of the
country, and as matter of course
the business was handicapped to be-
gin with.
2. The very fact that an effort was
to be made to concentrate the trade
of the farmers in the exchange,
alarmed the merchants and caused
them to take united action not only
to thwart the business enterprise, but
their antagonism quickly extended to
the organization itself, and this we be-
lieve was bad policy.
3. If the entire trade of the Ali
ance could have been centered in the
exchange the order would have laid
itself liable to the criticism of having
built up a monopoly when one of its
chief tenets was opposition to monOp-
oily.
4. 1t was practically impossible
that the leading articles of merchan-
disc which the farmers mainly re-
quired, could be purchased through
the exchange at price which would
more than compensate for the con-
venience which honest home mer-
chants offered their customers, and
hence the move was impolitic, for it
had tendency to array the business
men in the country stores, villages
and towns against the Alliance, for
they had the idea that the success of
the organization would initiate
against their interest.
5. Had the move as originally con-
templated by some of its most enthu-
siastic friends proved success, the
result would have been the destruc-
ton of property values in the towns,
the reduction of the number of con-
sumers for farm produce and a cor
responding increase of taxes upon
farm property and in the production
of staple crops, which would in the
end have injured town and country
alike.

Divided Asunder.

As anticipated, the Lottery has
split the Democratic organization
of Louisiana in twain. When the
delegates to the State nominating
Convention met at Baton Rouge last
week, the nti-Lottery faction, who
claimed a majority of the legally
elected delegates, demanded that
they he allowed to organize the Con-
ventiOn, nominate a ticket of men
known to be opposed to the Lottery,
and the adoption of an anti-Lottery
platform. The Lotteryites, who had
control of the State Executive Com
mittee and a majority of the uncon-
tested delegates, peremtOrily refused
this, and both factions then proceed
ed to organize convention and NOM
mate ticket of their own.
The ticket of the nti-LOtteryites
is as follows: For Governor, Murphy
j. Foster, of st. Mary for Lieutenant
Governor, Charles Parlange, of
Pointe Coupee; for Secretary of State,
Thomas Scott Adams, of East Felici-
ana for Auditor, w. w. Heard, of
Union for Treasurer, John Pickett,
of Bossier for Attorney General, Nj.
j. Cunningham, of NatchitOches for
Superintendent of Public Education,
A. ID. Lafargue, of Avoyelles.
The Lottery ticket is as follows:
For Governor, Samuel d. McEnery, of
Ouachita; for Lieutenant Governor,
Robert c. Wickliffe, of West Felici
ana; for Auditor, o. b. Steele, of
Union for Treasurer,G. Montegut, of
Terrebonne for Attorney General E.
w. Sutherland, of De Soto for Secre-
tary of State, Leonard Mason, of Con-
cordia for Superintendent of Public
Education, j. V. Calhoon of Orleans.
1t goes without the saying that the
opponents of the Lottery have the
true creed and principles of Democ-
racy, while the Lottery contingent
hold only the empty name which they
haveprostitutedt to an ignOble purpose.
The sympathies and moral support of
the best citizenship of the country is
with the ticket headed by the peerless
Foster, and it will win.

The Cotton Crop.

The estimate of the present years
cotton crop made by the Bureau OF
Agriculture, indicates a crop of about
7,400, 900 bales, falling off of about
one million bales below the crop of
1890. Notwithstanding this unfavor-
able report, and the favorable ac-
counts from Liverpool, the United
States market is, depressed beyond
precedent since the war. Cotton fac
tors say it is impossible to hold up
cotton owing to the scarcity of
money.
The Farmers Alliance proposed a
plan for obviating this difficulty, and
here and there a cotton producer list
ened to the syren song of the Mann
monites that it would not do, and
Joined in the clamor against it. They
were looking through a class darkly
but will see better later on.-Er.

The Million Voters Agreement
Plan Growing in Favor.
Editor and Proprietor.

Special Correspondence of the Leader.
NEW YORK, Dec. 14th.-The Sc
curing of 100000 signatures of
voters who agree to vote for the Pro-
hibition candidates for President and
Vice-Prcsident next year is great
undertaking. The Prohibition work
ers seem to have II thorough realiza-
ton of its magnitude and are begin
ming to work in the right way. The
Chairman of the State Committees of
Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, In
diana, Maine, Michigan, Maryland,
Massachusetts, New York, North Car
DINA, North Dakota and Pennsylva-
MIA have written to the county Chair
men in their respective States urging
a thorough canvass for signatures and
have arranged to send blanks to each
county Chairman. Upwards of fifty
Prohibition papers are working vigor-
ously and supplying their readers
with blanks.
Reports are beginning to come in
from different parts of the country
that show the energy and devotion
with which Prohibition workers are
making the canvass for signatures.
A worker from New Jersey writes ::
81 enclose sixty signatures. | am
seventy-two years old and am near
ly blind but | am going to secure one
hundred signatures" A Prohibition
list from Waverly, n. Y, writes: 81
enclose ten signatures. They were
secured by my boy. He is nine years
of age and is a member of the Loyal
Legion" Ole Br. Olson, a Norwegian
Prohibitionlst of Wisconsin, has sent
i'll 127 signatures. The Scandina-
vians of the Northwest have shown
their interest i'll previous campaigns.
Prohibition workers should pay
especial attention to this promising
field.
The work, too, is proceeding en-
couragingly in the South. A worker
at Linville, Va, writes: 81 enclose
you agreements containing % sigma
turcs-all bonafide voters, which rep
resents about 80 per cent. of the vot-
ing strength of the very limited terri
tory Canvassed.n Another writer
from East Chattanooga, Tenn. says !:
II send you signatures of 149 voters
secured in my district, which has u
voting strength of about 400. We
are still circulating the agreement and
will send you additional names soon.
We expect to carry this district for the
Prohibition candidates in 1892" Such
instances are u fair indication of
the grand work that can be in the
South.
Some PrOhibitionists do not seem to
understand that their own signatures
are wanted to the million agreement.
Every one of the 100000 voting Pro-
hibitionists of the nation should sign.
If they will do so promptly it will be
a long step toward securing the neces-
sary 100000 signatures. All sigma
lures sent in should be in the original
handwriting of the signers. The
auditors will no doubt require that all
names counted shall be In the hand
writing of the voters.

REMOVAL OF THE LEADER.

REMOVAL OF THE LEADER.
The announcement that the LEAD
Err will he removed from Brookhavcn
to jackson and issued from the latter
place early in January, will, no doubt,
strike a majority of its readers with
surprise. 1t is matter that we have
long had under serious consideration,
but it was not finally decided upon
until within the past week. 1t has
been thought for some time past that
the cause of Prohibition and the
Alliance needed such champion at
the State capital as the LEADER pur-
poses to be, and it is largely in defer
encc to the Judgment and solicitation
of earnest friends of these great in
tcrests that the step has been decided
upon. The way has been gradually
opening for many months, and now it
appears so clear. we would feel re-
creaut to what seems to us a plain
public duty, if we did not occupy the
field that lies before us. Were the
editor to consult his own personal
ease, unintluenced by other consider
ations, he would hesitate to take this
step, involving, as it does, in-
creased labor and weighty response
bilities, but when we reflect that with
this greater labor and responsibility
will come enlarged opportunities for
serving our State and people, we can
not falter.
If this removal meant complete and
final separation from the true and
LOYAL friends of Brookhaven and Lin
coin county who have stood by the
LEADER and its editor during the tri-
umphs and vicissitudes of nine event
full years, the hand that pens these
lines wonld fall palsied will
emotion in the attempt. AS
it is, they are written more
in a spirit of sadness than exultation,
for no paper ever had more sympa-
thizing, tolerant and loyal con-
stituency than the LEADER during
these years, and the thought that
most reconciles us to the change is,
that as we enter into broader field
where we can serve others, we may
also continue to serve them.
New material has been ordered and
when the paper makes its next appear
ance it will be much improved. Be-
ing less local in its character and
designed to meet the demands of the
entire State for an Independent and
newspaper at the State
capital that will tell the truth about
men, parties and measures, without
fear or favor, the name will be
changed to MISSISSIPPI LEADER. The
subscription price will remain the
90 Il year, cash in advance
and we very much desire that all of
our old patrons will continue to give
us their support, as it is our intention
to make it to their interest to do so.
And now, with good will toward all
and malice toward none, we wish all
of our readers Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year, and hope soon after
the holidays to greet them again from
the LEADERS new home.
