The farmers' union. (Memphis, Mo.) 1891-1895, 1891-07-30

Some Of our reform exchanges
are advocating the formation of CO.
operative stores. Brothers, don't
do it? 1t doesn't pay. The home
merchant will sell you goods at reas-
enable prices, .. if he won't, you will
never fail to get them at some neigh
boring town. Give your home mer-
chant your cash, and you will get your
goods as cheap as the market will
permit HIM to sell. If prices ore
high he is not to blame. If you want
the advantage of buying in quantities,
half a dozen families can club to-
gether and i,uy barrel of sugar,
coffee, etc, and get them at home at
q very small advance on the actual
cost: Don't go back OF your home
merchant. He sells you goods Oh
time when you haven t the money to
pay for them, and is always your
friend: High prices are not of his
making. and if cooperative store is
self-sustainlng, you will find its prices
are the same rs those of anv honest

The Democrats of Kansas, fiudin.

The Democrats of Kansas, finding
they could not lead the alliance peo-
pile Of the Sun flower staff off on side
and unimportant issues, and finally
in the national contest of 1892 into
The gold standard camp of Wall street
and Cleveland, have come out very
bitter against the friends of true re-
form and threaten to nominate tick
cts of their own in that state. As no
one has asked them to cOalesce, 1t is
no more than right for them to go to
work and round up their bakers doz-
en- and make fight. This would be
all right were it not for the fact that
the Democratic wicg of the Wall
street party would aid their brothers
the Republicans--in Kansas to
crush the alliance, who is and has
been battling fcr the rights of tie Ia
boring classes. and in return will get
help from the wing that brought
about resumption, ''credit strength
ening act" and burdened the people
with vast bond Indebtedness that
has in great measure crushed the
life out Of the nation, in states where
She Democracy has been the doiuin-
ant party, to defeat the rights Of the
people. Unthoughtedv one Of the
leaders of the Democracy of Kansas
asserted that his party intended to
aid the Republicans in every way
possible in that state as against the
alliance. Last year the Democrats
largely aided the alliance. but I'M
t.oubtedly tie word has been sent
down the line from New York to stop
that kind of business and work for
Wall street, British money lords and
monopoly generally. The start to
obey this order has been started in
Kansas aud as the storm of indigna-
ton from the people thickens the
above plan will be seen worked in all
parts of the country. It is but nat
ural that that should be so, as it is
clearly demonstrated that the Demo
cratic and Republican "principals" are

A Hind DO God i'm England.

The famous hindoo god. Lingam, is
now owned by an English gentleman OF
culture named Spencer. who paid sIa-
900 for it at an auction sale in London
in 1sSs. The curious relic stands but
12H inches high. Small as it is. it is
worth its weight in nrst w1ter diamonds.
The base IS OF solid gold and around il
are set nine gems which we're used as
charms. diamond, ruby. sapphire,
chrysobryl. cats eve. coral, pearl, hia-
cinthine, garnet yellow sapphire and
an emerald. Around the apex of this
pure gold and gem-studded pyramid is a
plinthe set with diamonds. On the apex
is topaz IO-l6 inches in length and
Clio of an inch in depth, shaped like a
horseshoe: in the center Of the horse
shoe the great chrysoberyl cats eve
stands When Bahador Shah, better
known as bad Shah" the last King of
Delhi. was captured and exiled to the
Andaman Islands, his queen secreted this
god. and 1t was never seen again until
recent research discovered and brought
it 20 the British capital, where it was
disposed OF to NJ. Spencer, as above
mentioned--St Louis Republic.
