South I'm Alliance and G. A. r.

The Register has frequently empha-
sized the fact that the Southern Alliance,
OF which branch was recently organ
lied in this State, is Southern, not only
in its commercial but also in its political
principles. Its hired emissaries, when
they invade the Northern States, invari-
ably make fearful appeals for dropping
all sectional feelings-they come with
the olive branch of peace in their hands
and words of brother.y love between
North and South ON their lips, but In
their hearts is the same enmity that has
animated the South since the war. The
Southern Alliance is the old unregen-
Grated South in a new form and under a
new name. This fact was clearly brought
out In a series of resolutions recently
adopted by a Southern Alliance Editorial
Convention held at Hutchinson, Kan.
The Hutchinson convention was a repre-
sentative body, and represented the
fighting strength of the rebel Alliance
that has invaded the States of the North
west Expressing their contempt oil
Union soldiers 1t passed the following
| resolution:
ResolUed, That we condemn the or
ganlzatiOn known as the Grand Army OF
the Republic, organized for the purpose
of preying upon the United States Treas
nry, and thereby filching from the peo-
pie, In the form of pensions, money not
their due. We also condemn the mem
bership of said organization for pressing
upon and demanding of the people the
right to hold Office and be recognized as
an active factor in the politics Of the
country. The right to vote we do not
question; but their right to dictate or
suggest political action and political
policy we denounce, and we, the repre-
sentatives Of the reform Alliance) press,
do hereby pledge ourselves TO resist such
assumption on tine part generally OF the
ex-U Union soldier, but especially Of the
Grand Army OF the Republic.
Every Union soldier ought TO read
that resolution and bear in mind that 1t
truthfuliy reflects the sentiments of the

The American Hog and Germany,

The announcement from Berlin that
the German Government has definitely
decided to remove its embargo on Amer
lean hog products is o gratifying result
OF diplomatic negotiations directed from
Washington by Secretary Blaine, through
the United States Minister, Hon. William
Walter Phelps. The original prohibition
on American pork was laid on account OF
its alleged unhealthy character--or,
rather. because there was no adequate
inspection to demonstrate that il was
sound and pure meat, Since the passage
of the meat inspection bill In August,
1890, Germany's excuse for the embargo
has been untenable, and ii was only q
question of time when she must be COM
PEELED to admit American pork, or stand
the consequences, which would have
been an embargo on some OF her leading
exports to this country -sstss

Free Sugar,

Promptly with the 1st of April came
a drop of ~ cents pound in the best
granulated sugar, and heavy decline
in other grades, and also in molasses.
1t is all on account of the new tariff.
The fact fact, however, is only barely and
grudgingly mentioned in the tariff re-
form newspapers. 1t is doubtless un-
pleasant to them to remember that the
Mills bill contained no such boon to the
people.
But occasionally some tyro in eco.
Monies ask, "If free sugar is good, why
not free other things?" Because, dear
sir, we are dependent upon foreign sup
ply for the great bulk of sugar we con-
sumo, and it is part of the protective
policy to admit free what we cannot pro-
duce in quantities sufficient to supply the
home market and thus regulate the price.
With free coffee, free tea, and free
sugar, and with protected wages and in
creasing business, the American work
ingman sits down to CHEEKY table.
With taxed tea, coffee, Ncurrants and
even medicines, and with reduced wages
and diminishing opportunities, the Eng
fish workingman begins to realize that
free trade is fraud.

IRELAND has again been visited by a
most alarming failure of the potato
crop, and it is feared that there will be
famine of almost as great proportions
as that terrible one of 1847, during
which many died of actual starvation.
Science has found reasonably sue
cessful preventive for potato rot (Pero-
9sospora i1lfestaas), just as she has for
grape rot (Peronospora Uiticola). This
potato failure in Ireland might have
been almost entirely averted had the
farmers sprayed thu leaves and stems
of the young plants several times, at
intervals of a few days -oftener in
showery weather-with the following
solution: Six pounds copper sulphate
(blue vitrioD dissolved in ten gallons
of water, to which six pounds of slaked
lime is added.

1t really seems like waste of space
to answer such ridiculous statements in

tenths of the free-trade arguments are
made up Of just such reckless statements
as we have exposed above. The free

tions no less untrue and misleading. In
a large part they go unchallenged be-
cause it seems almost like an insult to
the intelligent reader to devote sufficient
space to answer such rubbish. 1t Is,
nevertheless, necessity to do it. In
this work the country press could help
with great effect. Some free-trade
falsehood should be exposed every week
