IN the heat of political contest it is
a pleasure to subordinate party con-
s.derations TO take occasion to say OF
an efficient official that his worth is APP
preciated. The board OF supervisors
paid pretty trlbuts to County Clerk
Harvey last evening. In doing so they
reflected the feeling entertained
toward him by the entire community.
By courtesy, atfability, painstaking
and ability, of no mean order. he has
discharged the onerous duties Of his
Office for eight years to the satisfaction
of everybody thrown into contact with
nm. lie is deservedly popular, and
will carry with him to private life the
respect and esteem of all without re-
gard to political affiliations.

Convenient Markets, Good soil. Pure
Water and Excellent Climate
Are advantages to be considered when
looking up a home, business location,
farm, etc. West Virginia, Maryland and
the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, af-
ford these with many more advantages.
No section of the United States offers su-
perlor opportunities, and persons seeking
q new home should examine these states
before deciding upon q location else
where. Improved farm lands adopted to
stock raising, dairying, grain, grass and
fruit growing can be obtained at low
prices and upon easy terms. Thriving
towns invite the merchant, mechanic and
business men. Abundance Of coal, ore,
timber, water power, etc. Free sites for

their natural consequence, 1t would
mean starvation and riot unequalled, In
every city. Shut your doors, close your
avenues on New York alone, and how
many viii be left alive to bury your
dead in one week? Yet, 1t is by such
statements that you would persuade us
to let you alone, and do sway national
legislation. 1t Is In the echo of such
high words that you ask, "What are you
going to do about lt?"
But what, in fact, did you mean, bank
ers, when you declared that you would
resign your vast body of mortgages, real
and chattel. You meant that you would
attempt to realize the actual value which
you hold In all your forms Of nominal
wealth in q body and at once. You
meant that you would contract the cur
rency at once by the full amount Of your
circulation. You meant such dire and
awful calamity to the people as no war
ever brought in its train, and as no ad-
mlnlstration could face, and this by your
own voluntary and direct act. You hold
the compulsion of such fears over as and
over our law makers to. day.
You are said to have gained in twenty
years, and exclusive of salaries, a profit
of 81, ,1OO,OOO,OOO. Is that true? If it is,
we have paid we'll for the use of about
one-third of that amount. If 1t is not
you offered your country to the devil
pretty cheap.
For fifty odd millions year you
would bring upon US worse evils than
Benedict Arnold would have consumated
by the sale of Washington, or than any
war has ever brought. No worse threat
ever blackened the lips Of any anarchist
than this which you made to the listen
ing world, without the excuse Of hunger
or nakedness.
What defense have you before man
and GodH What have you to say why
the doom Of traitors be not pronounced
against you?
This article has been diverted some
what from the line Of argument 1t was
intended to follow. If 1t Is permitted
me, I will return to the statement that
there is no escape for US until labor
ceases, at least in large part, to be
amenable to individuals, or to look to
them for employment. l will try to
show that that is true, and to some ex-
tent what are the consequences Of its
truth, and perhaps what remedy there
may be. Fl. A. HIGGINs.

Now challenge any man, or set Of
men, to show where the National Union
Company has ever invested one single
dollar in cash. And l should like to
know If all that is needed in order for
these results TO be worked out is that O
syndicate should give its bonds for
such stock of goods and keep the $2,-
913 which the National Union Co.'s plan
proposes to give to the syndicate.
Here then, is a way 80 plain, that an
Alliance man, though fool, need not
err therein. It Is the endorsement by
the Alliance Of the National Union plan
and the pledge on the part Of Alliance
members to do their trading at the COM
pauy's stores that is the consideration
for which the National Union Company
issues Its debenture bonds in payment
for local stocks of merchandise. Can not
the several county Alliances organize as
chartered cooperative associations and
Issue their debenture bonds In Sufl-
clent amount to buy three or four stocks
Of goods, costing $4,000 each, in each
county, Can they not pledge their trade
to their own stores as easily as to the
company'S stores? This plan, while still
open to thessme ethical objections urged
in my last weeks communication to TIE
ADVOCATE, would at least, give the $2,-
918O0 It is proposed to take from the
middle men, to the Alliance, instead Of
giving it to the syndicate or trust called
the National Union Company. And IL
would be but two or three years until the
savings effected would pay off the de-
benture bonds and leave each county
Alliance with three or four stores with
paid up capital. GEO. @. WARD.

the other hand, these mortgages mean
that debt larger than that OF the whole
people at the close of the war, now rests
upon much less than one-hRlf of them.
You, yourselves, gentlemen, felicitate
each other that, If wages are lower than
they used to be, the price of bread Is
also lower. That is to say, the price of
that with which land pays its debts is
less. You stand upon thousand plat
forms and congratulate us-even US,
who owe you money-that the cost OF
bread is so reduced that the mechanic
and common lsborer can live upon less
wages. That is, that the cost of the
labor which enliches you, is cut upon q
horizontal plain from the engineer and
the machinist to the farm lRborer and
section man.
Is that thing to thank God uponG
Are we, who owe you debts, which are
not easier of payment, to rejoice with
you that we are each and all 80 much
easier to satisfy?
Yet, when we urge reform, you point
to the immensity ofvested interests, and
ask, "What are you going to do about
itp Sirsl Sirsl That is a dangerous
question. 1t suggests that 1t may be no
longer a question Of logic and Of philoso-
ply, but of deeds.
Take little thought. We, who go
down this sliding scale of wages, are an
enormous majority.
Individual centralized capital seeking
profit is absolutely unrelenting In its de-
msnds. Mr.. Carnegie, of Pittsburgh, is
reported as saying that he will vote for
Democratic free trader rather than Re
publican advocate Of free silver. In the
face of history, it may be doubted
whether any changes in our monetary
system will permanently remedy the
evil, or be more than the amounting of
broken bone," but this statement illus
trates the position such men occupy
toward the people. They will abate no
scruple.
But that is q good example, Mr.. @.
Any American working In your mill has
just the same powers as q citizen that
you have, and, if he is American born,
some which you have not. See to IL, sir,
however, that you carry treason no
further than toward your party. Some
others have not been 80 careful.
The money power Of the United
States has repeatedly made 1t apparent
that no consideration of public welfare
or patriotic honor shall stand In their
way.
1t is not the people who utter threats.
We are too strong and know too well
that no statute of limitations runs against
us when we come to cast the accounts of
the centuries. Strangely enough 1t is
only minorities that threaten. Kings lift
their hands against their subjects, bank
ers against the people, and little men
even against the Eternal.
Why did your national banks few
years ago threaten to retire their circula-
and take up their bonds againH Why do
you tell us that there are in New York
ten men, who, joined together, could
stop every rolling wheel that bears our
product from the prairies to the sea, cut
every thrilling wire that records the
heart beats Of the nation, block
every avenue of trader Do you do these

INDIAN TROUBLE likely.

in the Sioux reservation for eighteer
years, is in the city. In speaking of the
state of affairs among the Indians, he
said
",rhe indians are talking very freely
of engaging in the ghost dance again,
and, despite the contradictions of agents,
| know that there is imminent danger OF
an outbreak. There are hundreds ol
ghost shirts among the Indians, and all
that is keeping them from engaging in
the dance is the feaT of consequences.
"They are very much dissatisfied and all
that is needed to start them is some i'm
pulsive leader with the nerve to take the
leadership. The trouble, l think is with
Agent Brown at Pine Ridge He knows
nothing of Indians and nothing Of how to
deal with them.
"There are no troops on the reserva-
tion and the only way to put down an
uprising is to call in the troops again as
was done two years ago. There are
%, 900 Indians on the reservation. OF
these 1000 are warriors and fully ., 800
are apt to 90 into the dance.
"There will be an outbreak on the res
ervation this winter or in the spring, or
/ am mistaken"
