Needs and Demands Of the Farmers Al
lance.


lance.
Without assuming to deny, says the In
der-AppeGl, that the Farmers Alliance is
largely under the dominion of disappointed
Observation-Disclosures from the old
party organizations, and that many of the
Alliance schemes are visionary, impracti-
cable and even positively injurious to the
real interests OF farmers themselves, it still
remains reasonable assumption that a
great and intelligent class of our citizens
would not organize themselves for the re-
dress of grievance if no grievance existed.
II is not impossible that they may not
know the most effective way to redress
their grievances, and that at the outset
they NAV commit many errors, but agita-
tim and discussion Wall nInInlnroIs, eIza-L
the remedy. In q well considered article
in the current numberof The Manu- actursr
Robert Ellis Thompson discusses the needs
and demands of the Farmers Alliance with
marked interest and ability. He says that
VII lie it may be the height of folly to do
what the farmers aOant, it is the best
wisdom to discuss what they need, and have
it done for them.
Mr.. Thompson then proceeds to consider
the Alliance demand for agricultural cub
treasures, liz which it is proposed to make
the national government sort of huge
pawn-broker's shop to enable the farmer
to hold his crops for better prices, instead
of having to rush them into the market
Immediately after harvest and sell them to
Spectators to hold for higher prices. That
this state of things is a grievance, esps-
oially with the southern and western farm
er's, MIR. Thompson, in common with all
fair minded men, admits. But that the
remedy which the Alliance proposes is i'm.
practicable AID dangerous is obvious to a
great majority OF the citizens of this conn
try, including some of the wisest and
wealthiest of our farmers, especially in the
north aud cast. That the Alliance cannot
have what it wants in this respect is quite
certain, bat Mr.. Thompson points ont that
there is remedy for this grievance, which
can be had without violating any constitu.
tional principle, or in any wise depending
on the national government. He suggests
land banks as the remedy, and says -
'From Russia to Portugal, the continent
of Europe is supplied with land banks,
which have rendered the most important
services in the development of agriculture.
They have beer in operation in Prussia for
hundred and fifty years. Yet we have
not land bank in the whole of the United
States, although our agriculture is our
greatest industrial interest, and the one
which employs over three-ffths of cur
population"
The suggestion deserves the most care
full consideration of the farmers as offering
a solution of their troubles outside of
politics, in whose dangerous arena they are
quite sure to be used al cats-paws for Gun
ming politicians

MARRIED AND THEN SHOT HIMsELF.-|

W. Wisely, was found dying at 4 O'Clock
Monday morning in his fathers barn near
Findlay, Ohio. His hands clasped pitch
fork, and by his side was revolver with
two empty chambers. The young man
was unconscious and died without saying
anything. 1t was learned Monday that
Wisely had been secretly married at mid
night to a young woman of the name of
Marvin. The marriage license was taken
out in May, but the ceremony was not per-
formed until Monday night. As soon as

and rode home and put his horse in stall.
He then put revolver to the back of his
head and fred, the powder burning the
hair. Young Wisely had been in difficulty
with Miss Marvin for some time, and the
worry and excitement which eliminated in
his secret marriage was more than he could
bear. The family is wellknown. Young
