TIE PIG IRON MARKET.

LOUISVILLE, June Especial THE
market continued duh during the first
part Of the week, but towards the close
inquiries we're more numerous and re-
suited in some sales. Rolling mills re-
port that there is an increased inquiry
for iron, and parties who have been try
ing to purchase at other points finished
material at the exceedingly low prices
that have prevailed have found it not
easily done. All have bean disappointed
that the buying on the part of railroad
companies has not developed. which it
was felt would he brought about as soon
as there were assurances that the crop
would be all right. Some is far enough
advanced at the present time TO Justify
the belief that nothing can now check
large harvest, and under ordinary cir
moment should be heavy.
The only reason offered for the slack
ness OF orders from railroads, now that
they have such heavy tonnage promised
is that they have not the money to pay
Tor cars at the present time, owing TO
the heavy decline in railroad securities.
Iron is being offered at basis Of SO; for
Grey Forge, both for immediate and for
delivery throughout the year. though
the leading companies are asking %
cents more; there seems to be plenty of
cheap iron to supply present needs.

TO THE ALLIANCE.

Some of the members of the Al
nance seem to misunderstood the
motives of the BULLETIN. They
haYe accused us of fighting their
order. We deny the charge and
cite the files OF u paper as proof.
Never yet have we uttered one wor1
against the order. On the other
hand, We have been delighted to
see the farmers taking an interest
in the politics of the country, and
have so expressed ourselves on nu-
merous occasions. With some of
their views, however, we differ; for
instance the sub treasury idea. We
have opposed this measure from
the simple fact that we believe it
TO be undemocratic, and. if enacted
into law, would prove an injury to
the people. Mcdowell. the shlftY
president of the Alliance, has also
come in for a fair share of criticism
at our hand. In our opinion, he is
totally unfit for the position he
occupies; is ungrateful for honors
conferred upon him; is drawback
to the order, and a dead weight upon
the democratic administration.
1t has been iutima.ed to us that
unless we cease at once to further
criticise the demands of the order
and Its officers, We will be boycott
ted. Gentlemen of the Alliance,
let us say to you in all candor and
kindness that we are entitled to our
own views in regard to public men
and measures, and we are not
afraid to express those views. Such
threats as the above have no effect
upon us. We always expect to
condemn the wrong wherever we
find it. If you desire to d~iscontin-
ne your subscriptions to the BOIL
VAR BULLETIN. let us know it, and
we will take your names from our
mailing list. We want no man to
take our paper unless he sees prop
er TO do so.

Terrell Backed Down.

Hon. u. s. Hall, formerly lect-
urer, now president of the Alliance
in Missouri, is in the city and will
leave for home tonight. Though
one of the most prominent Alliance
leaders IN the United States, he is
strongly opposed to the sub-treas-
ury scheme. When interviewed
by a Herald reporter last night he
said: cit is stated in the Toiler,
which is published here, that Ben
Terrell, the Ex-NatiOnal Lecturer,
who is speaking in Tennessee, would
meet anyone on the stump to dis
cuss the sub~treasury proposition.
Seeing that notice in the Toiler and
that he was to speak in Decherd to-
day. and being invited by the sub
ordinate lodge there to speak, /
went down to answer him. He re-
fused to divide time or to enter
into any discussion with me. The
reason that he assigned was that
he did not know what new argu-
ments l might have. l had had
some experience with him in Mis-
souri,, and ! suppose that inclined
him not to want to meet me In de
bate again. The Alliance in Mis-
souri, is twice as large as any other
state Alliance In the United States.

ed to the sub-treasury scheme, the

estes, believing that the sub-treas~
ury would ruin the farmers if
put into practice, and that the third
party movement is not one to be
encouraged by the Alliance. This
sub>treasurY scheme is being push
ed only in the democratic south
ern states, and the object, in my
judgment, is to divert attention
from the tariff question and to COM
mitt the farmer to class legislation.
These men. these advocates of the
sub-treasury scheme, these lectur-
ers and agitators, are none of them
farmers, so far as 1 am able to learn.
Wherever in the United States /
have found a big farmer, he has al
ways been opposed TO the scheme"
When directly asked by the repor-
ter whether he had held an inter-
view with Gov. Buchanan during
his stay here, Mr.. Hall SAID that
he and the governor were old friends
and that they had had a private
talk, but that it raj unnecessary
to state to the public the subjects
of conversation. and he asked that
the reporter would not say that he
had offered any information about
his meeting with the governor
Being asked what he thought about
the situation in Tennessee, MIR.
Hall said that it looked discoursg>
ing, that the Alliance seemed to be
moving towards third partyism, and
it behooved the democrats to be

While in Grand Junction last Satur-
day, we called at the marble yard of G.
J. Rogers. The array of rough material,
finished tablets, cottage monuments and
all grave fixtures, are as elaborate and
extensive as any we will meet with in
places of commercial note and merit. He
has Just erected a beautiful and substan-
tial piece of work in Memphis to mark
the resting place of Col. q. w. McClel-
Ian. The work on the Ihos. Boyle mon
ument of Memphis is nearly completed
and he is expecting to receive at any
time the portrait statue of Thos. Boyle
in life size from Corrara, Italy, which is
the final or covering of the monument.
The Kelley monument, tor Kosciusko,
Miss, surmounted with the life sized
statue of the late deceased lady, is a du-
plicate of the Thos. Boyle monument.
Each OF these monuments alone will con-
stitute a car load. The Falkner monu
ment for Ripley, Miss, which will sus-
tain upon its topmost cap the statue of
Col. Falkner in heroic size, he will erect
during this summer. This monument is
made of Scotch granite, and is now being
cut in Aberde rn, Scotland. The state is
being executed In Corrara, Italy. This
monument constitutes a 40, 900 pound car
load. Mr.. Rogers has also in course of
construction In his yard a beautiful
double column monument for Huntsville,
Ala, to be erected over the remains of
Thos. Beasley, late of LAGRANGE, Tenn.
Mr.. Rogers kindly invites all travellers to
his works, and more especially those oil
his own connty. He is justly proud OF
the work he is doing, and will continue
to strive to give satisfaction. +.

been asserted by some that should
the BULLETIN pcrsistin opposing the
scheme, that we will be ~boycotted.
This IS a free country and those who
wish have a right to boycott, and
the BULLETIN has the equal right
TO oppose any measure that il be-
Iieves to be detrimental to the in
terests of the people and contrary to
the teachings of democracy. One
fact connected with the matter,
however, that we desire to impress
upon the minds of those who threat
en- US, that there is no record where
democrats ever boycotted a demo-
cratic paper on account of its politics.
TheBULLETIN is a democratic paper,
and defies any man to prove diff
ferentlY. The plan Of loaning
money on real estate has been tried.
Barring Brothers, n Of the richest
banking firms the world has ever
known, loaned millions OF dollars
on real estate in the Argentine
Republic. The money borrowed
upon real estate IN most instances
flowed freely. But alasl pay day
rolled around. Many of the farm
ers had spent the money borrowed
and were unable to meet their OBJ
legations. They were deprived of
their homes. Then, on account of
Barring Brothers being unable to
convert the real estate into money,
occurred a financial crash, unset
thing both the markets of Europe
and the United States. The strin-
gency of the money market during
the last cotton season was due in
part to the financial depression of
that once wealthy banking estab-
lishment. So that it will be seer
that the loaning OF money on real
estate in this instance resulted dis
astrously both to the loaners and
borrowers. The Alliance is in ia
vor of reducing the expenses of the
government. The erection ofgov>
eminent warehouses in all counties
entitled to same would be an in
crease of expenses instead of a dim
mutton. The govern ment force of
officials would be increased, and OF
course they would have to be paid
for their services. What would
you think of a farmer who now en-
pIoys for wages five hands if he
were to tell you he was going
to curtail mis- expenses by employ
ing twenty-five hands. Would you
not think he was 8 fool? The great
er the number of government en-
ployees, the greater will be the tax
upon the people. Every dollar
that belongs 10 the government is
money paid into the treasury by the
people. IF the s~ub-treasury bill
should be enacted into law, the
people of the country would be tax
ed to enable the government to
meet the expenses that would natu-
rally accrue from the building of
warehouses.
