the America kpeople are bound to re-
spect This grand Alliance movement
is on trial, and is being watched with
intense interest. Let us be care
full how we move; we may expect
to make some mistakes, but when we
discover that we have made an error,
let us not become discouraged, but
profit by our failure. Let us use the
Utmost precaution, and press only those
measures where there is the fullest
unanimity.
I'll tell you, my brethren, the Farm
ers' Alliance is fast becoming leading
power in the land. May we never rest
satisfied until all unjust laws are re
pealed, special privileges abolished,
and equality insured for all.
The farmers movement is thoroughly
educational. In it's relation to citizen
ship it strives to develop an educated
farm yeomanry who will cast conscien-
tiOus ballots not merely for the party
brand, but for the home and native
land.
In it's political aspect it is a protest
against bourbonism, bossism, corrup-
ton at the polls, and class Legislation,
whether Mckinley isms of any other
class ism. 1t is a movement in favor
of the same protection to the farm as
is accorded to the factory.
This great upheaval among the labor
ing classes means something The de-
mands that we now make are but the
first steps of a new departure. The
blows in fight which is to end only in
the total overthrow of the mOneyed
power, the destruction Of monOpOlies
and a general remodeling of the indus
trial system on the basis Of equality
and fraternity.
Stand together, brethren, be a unit;
the day is not far distant when we Will
be able to sing
" On the mountain Of vision, what a glory be
While scarce ten years of our service is tinging
with gold,
| And the glorious time is coming, which the
prophets long fUretud,
The Alliance is marching on
| " From the ahin OF the prairie, from lie humble
From the costly villa and the y.uIted city dome
The AIjiancc is marching on
All the vision it is changing, can now espy
\ mighty host of farmers shouting Justify,
And I'm garnerins up the glory as hear them
Iiurrah! Hurrah the Alliance is marching on

WHAT IS FORESTRY?

The I. s. Department Of Agriculture
will presently issue through the For
estry Division a 50-pagc bulletin No
81, entitled "What is Forestry:' a
compilation aud enlargement of several
addresses on this subject delivered by
Prof. B. f. FernOw, Chief of the For
estry Division.
1t treats the subject in three chap
ters The first presents briefly the
important part which our forest re-
sources play in the national economy.
The second shows the principles which
underly a national system Of forest
management in a wooded country, Civ
ing especially and in sufficient technical
detail the considerations involved in
the practice of thinning" The third
part treats Of forest planting in the
treeIess country, discussing the ration
ale Of forest planting in so far as it
differs from mere tree-planting, and
giving in detail rules for the selection
Of various kinds Of trees in "mixed -
pICtlUIlS. Two 1CUUtIS from Tree DidllU-
ers on the Dakota plains, giving the
results Of actual experience with the
methods commonly pursued, form an
interesting appendix.
The bulletin IS designed to present
the question Of forestry plainly,
divested Of the scientific terms which
must necessarily accompany a techni-
cal discussion, and to serve not only
for the formation of the owner of tim
Der lands, Of the farmer whose farm
contains a certain area of woodland re-
QUiring intelligent treatment or who
desires to devote a portion of his farm
to timber, and to the settler on the
western plains, but to the citizen with
whom forestry and the management
of our forest resources is simply an i'm
pOrtant economic question. In view
Of its general character a large edition
Of this bulletin will be published.
Copies are to be had on application to
the Secretary Of Agriculture, Wash

Mr.. EDITOR Looking backward
over the past history of the Farmers
Alliance, q varied scene is presented
to our gaze. Different elements found
their way into the Order; different
ideas were entertained; different opin-
ions were expressed; but, with all
these minor differences, if we look
closely, we see that all have united in
the great plea for liberty. or course
in the word all - we do nos include
those who, by word and deed have
proven false to the fundamental prin-
cjpIes Of the Order. We, in that little
word "all, " would not have you be
Iieve that we include those who have
come in like a "wolf in sleeps cloth

the flock. We do not include those

the Alliance, they cannot afford to
change their political creed, even if il
would be better for the people.

A WRONG PRACTICE.

The practice Of giving nearly all posi-
tiOns Of honor and emOlument to pro-
fessional men, has a strong influence in
turning bright, ambitious young men
away from agricultural pursuits. The
impression somehow seems to prevail
that farming unfit a man for any other
business. An Insurance agent can be
selected for a railroad commissioner,
because political influences are brought
TO bear in that direction, but the busi-
ness farmer is left behind In point Of
general intelligence the average farmer
will compare favorably with the mem
bers of any other class. Why, then,
should their claims for official position
be so persistently ignOred.-Gra1ge
AdrOcdte.

BRO. FELTON'S ADDRESS.

Delivered Before Rocky Hook Alliance.
Mr.. PRESIDENT AND BRETHREN: The
wants Of the farmers are so many, I
scarcely know what subject to discuss.
One of the greatest needs is a spirit OF
unity that will enable them to pull to-
gether. Very little will ever be accom-
plished for the real good or lasting
benefit Of the farming or laborinG
classes until they begin to stand to-
gether. 1t viii be impossible to achieve
grand results while one part are pull
ing one way and the other part pulling
in an opposite direction. Union gives
force or power. No one will deny that
the agricultural interests of the country
are in a depressed and suffering con
dition. Something ought to be done
by which that depression might be re
Iieved and the farmer given a chance
equal with men engaged in other pro
fessiOns.
Is there any relief for the farmer. If
50, from where is it to come? Has he
the power to accomplish anything in
his own behalfl I believe there is a
balm in Gilead for him. That balm
must De extracted by the united effort
Of the brotherhood
When we consider that IS per cent.
of the entire male population Of this
country who are engaged III any kind
Of work, are engaged in agricultural

Japan Teas in the United States.

Japan has always found its most gen.
erous customer in the United States;
in England and the continental countries
the Chinese variety has maintained its
prominence, though of late the importa-
lions of black teas from India, Java and
Ceylon have been considerable. The con-
sequence has been that, great as the con
sumption of Japanese teas has been in this
country, the supply has been more than
adequate to all demands; prices have de-
clined, and still the entire product of the
country has not been sold, even though
offered at less than the cost of production.
Lately, therefore, the Japanese producers
have turned their attention to cultivation
of the varieties known to the Chinese trade
as Gunpowders, Oo1ongs, Imperials and
Congous, employing for the purpose skilled
Chinese to manage the processes, as a
means of widening their market.-Good

DR.. DEPEW's STORY.

How the World Moved When He Was
Young.
DIR. Depew told a railroad story at
meeting of the railroad branch of the
Young Mems Christian association in
their building on Madison avenue. Cor
nelius Vanderbilt was present. The doc
tor had been speaking of the change pro-
duced IN mems manners and their diff
ferent ways of doing business since the
invention of modern transportation.
You can have no notion, you young
men in the audience" continued the doc
tor, ''how slow people used to be- There
was an old man up in Peekskill, where
used to live, who used to be known as
the Village Oracle OF all the places
in the village where the Oracle loved to
spout, the corner grocery was the dear
est to him. There he would sit on a
cracker barrel and solve, off hand, the
lnottiest political problems of the day
One day l entered the grocery and found

he got time. He had the books at home.

doctor, land spent pretty busy ten

Oracle again in the grocery, but one day

Chemical Fury.

The fury of the chemical world is the
element duOrine. It exists peacefully liz
company with calcium in fuor spar and
also in few other compounds.
Although this clement was known and
named, it long resisted the efforts of chem
lists to isolate it-that is, prepare it in a
pure state unmixed chemically with other
substances. For the instant the compound
containing it was torn apart the free fiuor-
inc attacked and combined with whatever
substance composed the vessel contain
ing it.
But it has now been isolated by NJ. Henri
Moisan. F1uorine is a rabid gas that moth
ing can resist. 1t combines with all the
metals, explosively with some; or, if they
are already combined With some other nom
metallic element, it tears them from it and
takes them to itself.
In uniting with sodium, potassium, cal
cium, magnesium and aluminium the met
ais become heated, even to redness, by the
fervor of it's embrace. Iron filings, slight
ly warmed, burst into brilliant scintilla-
tons when exposed to it. Manganese does
the same. Even the noble metals, which
at a melting heat proudly resist the fas-
cination of oxygen, succumb to this chemi-
cal siren at moderate temperature.
Glass is devoured at once, and water
ceases to be water by contact with this gas,
which, combining with its hydrogen, at
the same moment forms the acrid, glass
dissolving hydrofluoric acid, and iberates
ozone. Even hydrofuoric acid eats into
and destroys every known substance ex-
cept platinum and lead.-Youth's Com

DiscEarg.ng His Engineer.

One day Potter Palmer went down into
the engine room of his hotel and in some
way got into a dispute with the engineer
Mr.. Palmer ended the matter by telling
his employe to go to the Office and get his
salary and get out. Now, this engineer
had been in Mr.. Palrner's employ fifteen
years and knew every pipe, wire and rope
in the big hotel. The manager of the
house, who, by the way, is now St. Louis
landlord, was greatly put out when the
faithful en2ploye told him the ''old man"
had 'fired~ him. Jim" said the mana
ger, II don't want you to go. We would
be in trouble for months if new man
took your place. I'll tell you what you do.
Go and shave off that mighty beard you
wear, dress up in your Sunday clothes and
go and strike the old man for your old
job
An hour later Mr.. Palmer was ap-
preached by smooth faced, neatly dressed
man, who courteously inquired if he need
ed the services of a first class engineer.
THAT'S just what do" was Mr.. Palmer's
reply. "The man I've had has been dis
charged. He had been a long time in the
place, but he got sassy As your papers
are all right you can try the place" That
happened years ago, but Jim still holds
the fort Mr. Palmer has never regretted
that he fired that sassy Jim" and hired
in his place the gentlemanly smooth faced
man who keeps everything in such perfect
running order.-Cor. St. Louis Globe-Dem-
orat.
