There Is considerable difference be-
tween the readers Of q Peoples party
paper and one Of either Of the old par
ties. Alliance readers have studied
more or less--important questions In
political economy, and they and that
there are greater dangers threatening the
producing classes, and which demand
immediate attention, then the much con-
tested question Of tariff. We viii admit
that 1t is a question Of great importance,
but the two old parties have been play
ing with 1t for years back and It Is NO
nearer solution than II was In the begin
ming, and probably never will be, as long
as the people will be satisfied and allow
The farce to 90 on. Nine out Of ten Of
their readers do not understand or care
how this subject 10 treated, 30 long as 1t
ls handled by their own party, which, In
their party blindness they consider In
fRllible. In the meantime, while wrAng-
ling over their nut, the meat 10 being ex-
tracted by those most interested and
who make 1t their business 10 infuse 3
little variety into the play, and the shells
only are left for their blind and easily
Contented supporters. The newspaper
man who has such readers to satisfy has
q soft snap indeed, and especially when
he has now and then a little stimulant
injected into his pocket book by those
most benefited by his efforts in holding

rNeLIsH Red POLIED CATTLE.
10 the RdlIJr Of THE ADVOCATE.

40 the RdilJr Of THE ADVOCATE.
Please allow me 70 say to your readers
that there % an increasing demand for
the English red polled cattle, notwith-
standing the hard times. A large inn
porter, Mr.. Murray, at Maquoketa, Iowa,
author OF the american Red Polled
Herd Book," J" has just purchased fourteen
head from one herd, to supply his home
demand. Mr.. Murray and Mr.. Com
stock, who have just returned from Eng
land, after spending several months
among English breeders, came and made
purchases from our Dorchester, Greene
county, Missouri, herd. They sald that
they saw only one herd in England equal
10 ours in quality, and that the purchase
they made Of US was much better than
they could make for the same money in
England. We can afford TO sell cheaper
than the English breeders, because we
have cheaper lands, grain and grasses,
and there is no better climate than that
OF southwest Missouri. We will very
soon beat the English breeders In the size
and quality Of our cattle. One year ago
two red polled cows beat the two best
jerseys at the Royal Show In England
for milk and butter qualities. A red
polled steer took the sweepstakes over
all breeds 10 the show ring for beef quail
tiles. A bull Of our herd took the sweep
stakes over all breeds at the Southwest
Fair In 1885, and another bull of our own
breeding took the sweepstakes over all
breeds in 1890. Our eight years expe-
rlence with the largest American herd
satisfies us that these cattle are the very
best general purpose cattle. They not
only show the very best milk, butter and
beef qualities, but they also prove to be
the most hardy rustlers when put upon
the range. The red polled cattle, when
crossed with other breeds, make very
handsome red cattle without horns, and
good mixers and feeders.

All 1t wants is the brain and industri-

there is occupation for millions.
There is room unlimited for people

people can huddle together in city,
all being consumers, not one a pro-

from the other half, and all fed by the
country, how can there be limit to
population where all are consumers as
well as producers, and each has his
speciality. Such communities find
these markets among themselves.

HOW 1T CAN BE DONE

The White River Journal, in an
article headed Where is the Money!
shows that on the LIST instant, notwith-
standing the outflow Of gold, the circu-
lation was SI,Io0,OO,OOO and amount
per capita was So. 81, and adds: "The
question is where is the money? Some
body holds il and boards il. The great
problem Of the day is how TO get it
into circulation"
There is one way TO get itinto circu-
latiOn, and that is for the United
States to coin so much silver that
money, and good money at that, would
become drug in the market, thus
making other property more valuable
than money, which in reality it is.
If there should ever come a time
when the people will be pushed for
food and raiment, it will be discovered
that a piece of land that will raise
grain and other stuff to feed people, as
well as the cattle and sheep from
whose hides shoes and clothing are
made, then it will be seen that a So OOt
farm will feed and clothe more people
than all the money on earth. Even
greasy bank-notes wouldn't make
good soup, and gold and silver
coin would lie too hard on the
stomach for any sort Of comfort.
Money is usurping king, and like
all usurpers, is dcspotic. 1t must be
dethroned some day and will, anC
when on the basis of such wealth as
flocks and herds, the handwOrk OF
mechanics, the knowledge and practi
cal wisdom of scholars and profes
sional men AMI women, the world /,
capitalized. money will be placed where
IL ought TO be, convenient vehicle OF
exchange, instead Of a cOwardly despot
that withdraws to its impregnablC
castle, the stronghold, at the first
suspicion OF danger, and orders the
fires OF furnaces extinguished and the
wheels OF commerce TO stop, and ther
inaugurates its reign Of terror, "Hard
| Times"

FRIGHTENING PROSPECTS

Investigation proves that in all the
cities OF Washington, the fall lobbinp
and wholesale trade is improving. and
every indication points to far better
business for the season this year than
usual. This is accounted for by the
fact that the crops are larger and
more prolific than ever before, facili-
Ties for moving them are better, and
rates Of transportation will be cheaper.
In the Mississippi valley, and indeed
throughout the East, this same state
of facts exists, even in greater de-
gree, all Of which will rebound to the
benefit of the Pacific Northwest, for
It's not In this region alone that times
have been stringent; the entire world
has been suffering several months

An ERRONEOUS POSITION

Continually the assertion is being
made from some quarters, that there
are more laborers than employment in
the United States, and especially in
this country. The assertion is false
and unreasonable. There are Occa-
sional instances where capable men are
temporarily and unavoidably out Of
work, but considering the matter from
a general standpoint, and from cause
to effect, the proposition is prepos-
ferrous.
We once heard Of a man in a city
who "struck" another for a quarter,
whereupon the strikee said, Why
don't you 90 to work, you are an able
bodied man, and earn money!"
81 have been all over the city," the
first replied, land am unable 10 find
work"
"Then why don't you go TO the
country? Farmers are needing help"
The reply was my friend, | am in
such shape that | can't stay anywhere,
much less go some place, and he got
the quarter.
But, right here on Puget sound near
to FaIrhaven and dozens OF other cit
les, is plenty OF good ground that would
raise the finest vegetables, and which
would be cultivated by a less restless
race than Americans, and which would
bring to market-gardeners excellent
pay, besides supplying the markets
with vegetables 50 per cent. better and
20 per cent cheaper; all through this
region are thousands OF acres of forest
that owners would be glad to have the
timber cut from, where able-bodied
men could make excellent wages get
ting out cord wood. There is work for
thousands who really want 20 get
along by work, but the trouble is that
thousands come to this country ex-
pecting TO get rich, they don't exactly
know how. without work, regardless
Of the Jehovistic fiat, "By the sweat
OF thy brow shalt thou earn thy
bread" Some of them will rail at
this and say why doesn't this capital
list, or that lawyer, or this doctor, or
that merchant go and raise market
gardens or chop cord-wood. The an
swer is this The capitalist has money
with which to do other things, and In
most instances he has acquired his
,artt.l lv tho suaaf 81 bie k.,vx lon.
tOfOre, and sometimes he has inherited
IL. Its sufficient that he who hasn't the
capital has neither earned IL nor inner
tied IL, otherwise he has flung it away.
The same thing may be said Of the
merchant, and moreover the merchant
has experience in business that he has
attained by long application to IL.
The lawyer and the doctor have learn
ing in their professions that they have
acquired by years OF study and prac-
tice at great expense. If the man
who doesn't want to work at manual
labor, has that learning he should Ego
TO work" at once practising law or
physic, or IL he would like TO go at
those professions anyhow, then he
must turn first TO the work that Is in
dicated by Vigind anROum Hc,lro-
toas-the study Of twenty years-the
labor of learning how.
In other portions OF the country
there is work for myriads OF men who
are unemployed.
There could be two or three million
men profitably engaged in raising cot
ton more than are now. There could
be two hundred thousand more raising
tobacco, since the tax is removed. The
