The Sugar Bounty.

Northwestern Agriculturist: Some
people are inclined to critic;se the
bounty which the new tariff bill gives
on maple sugar, and claim that to be
consistent the government should
offer bounty on all other farm pro-
ducts. The bounty is given to en-
courage a crop of which so little is
grown in this country that it costs us
millions to import what we consume.
If bounty will encourage the use of
all our sugar-making material and
keep the money at home which nov
goes abroad, it has a foundation in
common sense. We raise too much
of some crops and have to export a
surplus. OF others we raise too little,
and must import to meet the short
age. The tariff is an effort to induce
our people to grow less of surplus
crops, by encouraging them to grow
more OF the crops of which We grow
too little. 1t may be mistake for
the government to NEEDLE with this
adjustment Of production to wants,
but that is the purpose Of the med
ding, and the increased production
of maple sugar, next seaeon, because
Of the bounty, will crowd just SO
much foreign sugar out of the mark
ct, and save exporting just as many
gold dollars as the increased produc-
ton of sugar is worth.

We have often thought that ii dogs

cynic who deelareta., "the more / see

Here is an incident in which a dog
plays an important part and which
will be of interest to all admirers of
dogs, as well as to all humane indi-
viduals. It is related by the Louis

That was a fine passage between
the Executive of Kentucky and the
wife of the condemned man, who went
to Frankfort last Friday to ask for D

Talk about dictators! Car Read!

peror Wilhelm! The King of Dahomey!
or any other known dictator or usur-
perl Why, Ignatius | laps over all OF
them! To use somewhat vulgar but
expressive saying, Ignatius has the
Minnesota senate by the slack of its
breeches-or, more correctly speak
ing, has that hold on the members of
that body. In fact Ignatius is the
senate, and Alliance and Democratic
members alike have to suecumb to
his dictation. Ignatius pulls the
strings and the members of the two
combined parties have to dance. Ig-
natius formulates new rules, and they
are adopted without a why or where
fore. Ignatius establishes new prece-
dents in parliamentary usages and he
is sustained by Changers and Demo
Gratis. Ignatius declares that the
lieutenant governor must be deprived
of his power to appoint committees
and that I'VE the people, that is, Ig
natius, must attend to that business,
and every Democrat and Alliance
man shout" Amen long live IngatiusI.
Meanwhile theRepublicans are look

that this state OF affairs will not last

what he is looking forward to, ther

Late reports from Washington state
that Congressman Cannon of Illinois,
the chairman of the appropriation
committee, is given to opposing every
bill that comes for the payment of
just claims against the government
by the indians. A Washington cor
respondent, under date of the 11th
inst, says: ''The bill for paying the
Sisseston and Wapheton Indians
money, long past due, is still hung up
in the house, and Cannon has announ-
ced his intention Of defeating sima-

deal Of coaxing, Cannon has agreed
to let the Occur d'Alene pill to go
through if it can be called up, but
evidently there are blocks arranged
to prevent the calling up of this bill"

"Beware of the Politicians"

It strikes us that the position taken
by the Western Rural of Chicago, one
of the leading agricultural papers of
the country, is about correct. SO far as
the Alliance is concerned. That pa
per takes the ground that the Alliance
should keep politicians and Office
seeking farmers out of its organiza-
ton and sit down on all political trick
cry. 1t does not believe in using the
influence of the Alliance for the ben
eft Of either political party.
We quote the following from the
last number of the Rural
The Alliance movement has crystal
lied into great strength, and at the
last election it gave emphasis to the
independent vote of the country, to
the CONSERVATION of the politicians.
Naturally these fellows now begin to
look about them for means of captur-
ing the Alliance and turning it to the
advantage of this Or that political par
ty. The most natural means of doing
this is for politicians to get into the
Alliance, and they viii do it if it is
possible. To some extent they have
done SO already, and just as truly as
these people get their clutch upon the
organization it will go to pieces.
The Alliances are no places for po-
itical trickery. They are no place for
even farmer who is laundering for
Office.
We repeat here what we have some
times before said that if the Alliance
becomes the tail end of either of the
political parties, its usefulness is at an
end. The organization is for men of
all political parties. 1t furnishes the
opportunity for the farmers to meet to-
gether and discuss public questions.
Itnever can become political party
within itself, and it never can use its
political strength for the benefit of
either of the political parties without
killing itself.
The Alliance and the Farmers Mu-
tual Benefit ssoc:ation have proved
great educators. They have made
men more intelligent voters and led
them to more carefully investigate
men, measures and political parties
before voting; and this is in the inter-
ests of the country at large.

Alliance Legislative Opportu-
mites.

Minneapolis journal: 1t IS true,
as Montesquieu says, that agitation
and free country are interconverti-
bile terms. If we have free country
it is because there is freedom of opin-
ion, freedom of expression, freedom
of action. 1t has, indeed, been agita-
ton which has kept our own country
free Republic. Here free discus
sion and the insistence upon the most
grotesque propositions in finance, po-
itical economy and sociology, have
been features of our national Life from
its inception, when the quarrels OF
Federalists and Republicans were
more ferocious and the alienation of
fellow citizens more prominent than
in later times even. Our safety is in
the fullness of discussion and the ag-
itation of all ideas, cranky or other
wise.
The current reform agitation is an
illustration. The Alliance of this
state, of the Dakotas, of Nebraska, of
Kansas and other states have deman-
ded some economic absurdit les. The
Minnesota Alliance, now overshadow-
ing the state legislature has put forth
program of railway control, and fin
ance which, if actualized, would OBJ
struct the building of more railways
in the state and would warn Eastern
money lenders to look for 9 more
promising and less obstructed field for
investment. Stringent usury laws in
stead of making money cheaply OBJ
tainable, usually have the effect of
largely increasing the rates by the de-
crease of loanable funds. In Wash
ington state they have had a wonder
full inflow of people and capital, be-
cause they don't have stringent usury
laws and everything is done to en-
courage the inflow of capital. People
never will lend their money at 5 or 6
per cent when they can easily get 8
and 10 per cent for it elsewhere. No
legislature can make money rates cheap
by legislating q rate.
But with the Alliance in virtual
control of Legislative committees we
may look for attempts at some very
radical Legislation during the next so
days. Practically the Minnesota Al
lance men have adopted the Ocala
and st. Louis platforms, together with
Henry Georges single tax program
as substitute for other taxation.
Hitherto there has been deal of talk
about the extreme measures advocated
in their platforms. Now that the Al
lance has come to the front as POI
litical party under the 0cala flag, it
will be seen that, In several states,
they will be followed by action. And
perhaps that viii be the surest way to
convince the Alliance that In some
respects they are radically and eco
nomically wrong, and that the legis-
lation which they are assured viii
make farmers millennium, will not
only Doe seriously injurious to that
special class, but to the 50 GGmllmnunity at
large.

Northwestern Agriculturist: Gre
dit is the curse of our country. tits
this which matches the farm with
mortgages,ssand it is what bows down
the body and spirits of farmers under
many troubles. And there is no hope
for relief from hard times until the
cause of debt is lifted so that farmers
will not be compelled to sell their
drops anb stock until they are ready.
When farmer is out of debt he can
set his price on his crops and stock,
as the merchant does his goods, or
; the lawyer and doctors their fees.
Then farmers will be prosperous, in
dependent and happy.
