FINANCE AND TRADE.
The Business Situation Less En-
couraging This Week.
EFFECTS OF FREE SILVER TALK.

A Further Decline in the Price of
Cotton Blights Hopes of Revival in
Southern Trade-A Satisfactory
Money Market, However, Reported
in All Sections.
NEW York. Feb. 20.-R. G. Dun g.
Co.'s weekly review of trade says: The
business situation is not quite so satis-
fnctory or encouraging as it has been.
While the gradual increase in the dis
tribution of many lines of merchandise
continues, there is shrinking demand
and more depression in iron, further
decline in cotton blights hopes of re-
vival in southern trade, and the specu-
lative mania, stimulated by cheap money
and by the great success of the coal
speculation, now extends to wheat and
threatens to restrict exports. Mean
while the talk of free silver in congress
causes distrust i'll the future, although
the well informed know that any seri-
GUS change at this session of congress is
impossible. From all parts of the
country the returns regarding the money
markets are satisfactory, indicating an
ample supply, and on the whole better
collections than are usually seen at this
season.
Notwithstanding the fact that exports
of wheat have been diminishing while
western receipts continue large specula-
tion at Chicago has lifted the price l-2
cents during the week, and sales here
have been 81 900, 600 bushels. Corn has
declined l2 cent, with large exports,
but very large receipts. Pork products,

sales OF 600 bales here, receipts being
81 per cent. greater for the week than
last year, but exports 81 per cent.
greater.
Throughout the Country.
AT Boston trade is reported satisfac-
tory. At Baltimore the lumber trade is
more active. The movement in dry
goods at Philadelphia promises an active
spring trade, but in liquor, tobacco,
chemicals, paints and glass trade is
quiet, and in groceries very dull. The
wool market Is dull, the worsted mills
lacking orders. At Pittsburg trade in
iron and steel has grown duller and
prices are weakening. At Cleveland
improvement is seen in most lines, and
trade is larger than last year, and man
ufacturing at Detroit exceeds last years
record, Whlle vessel rates are better. AT
Chicago sales of merchandise show
fair increase over last year. Trade is
good at Milwaukee and collections are
satisfactory. At Minneapolis and st.
Paul business is fair, and the outlook
promising At Omaha and Kansas City
both trade and collections are fair and
money plentiful. At st. Louis business
shows signs of revival, and the outlook
for the spring trade is encouraging.
Trade also improves at Denver.
Throughout the south the continued de-
preston of cotton is noted as cause Of
dullness.

In the daily Capital Of April 10Th, may
be seen q terrific shower Of words by
one W. E. Kearns, of Topeka, who, as he
infers, is farm hand by profession. By
thoroughly sitting his voluminouS article
we have managed to draw from 1t the

THE CAMPAIGN IN GEORGIA.

THE CAMPAIGN IN GEORGIA.
To the Editor Of The ADVOCATE.
l have been reading your paper for
some time and want to assure you that
I appreciate very highly the firm and
manly stand you have taken in behalf Of
the people In their efforts to bring about
the reform so sOrely needed and so much
desired by the laboring and tax ridden
masses Of this country. Down here in
Georgia the people are In line and the
battle is being opened quite furiously.
The Democrats, seeing that they were
losing every day and their party going to
pieces, sent for Livingston and Moses to
come home from Washington and help
save the Democratic party, and their first
effort was to try to vanquish Col. G. G.
Post, who is the leader of the Peoples
party in Georgia. They asssiled him
with all manner Of vituperstlon, trying
to create prejudice against him so as to
stop his influence. They also accused
him of trying to break up the Demo
cratic party in the interest of the Repub-
liCan party. But such old ISLANDERS as
that have been used too long here to be
Of any service now. The Democrats are
feeling the force and power Of Posts
arguments and they scringe at every
blow. They seem to think that to de-
stroy Post would destroy the Peoples
party and the Farmers Alliance In
Georgia at one and the same time. There
was an appointment made for Post to
speak at Carrolton on the 9TH, and the
Democrats telegraphed for Moses to come
home from congress to meet him. Well,
they met, and Notwithstanding the Demo
Gratis had caused all their forces to come
in on the cars from the little towns around
and from Atlanta for the purpose Of
whooplDg up Moses and drowning out
Post, yet Post scored grand victory.
Then again, on the 18th, at Douglas
Vile, the Democrats brought out their
best forces for joint discussion among
whom was Livingston, he too has been
called from congress. When they met
the committee men for the Democratic
side would not agree to a fair division Of
time and when 1t was found that they
could not be brought to that, the an
nouncement was made that all the Peo-
ple's party speakers would 60 to the
warehouse. Then with yell the crowd
started off singing as they went "GoOd
Bye, Old Party, Good Bye" taking off
about 1000 or 1900, and leaving about
$50 to listen to the old, old cry, 'Don't
leave the grand old Democratic party"
and about one-third Of those left were
Peoples party men. Such Is the true
statement Of the "grand Democratic
victory" reported in the Atlanta COnSti'
tuition and Journal.

not have TO live from hand to mouth az
the city laborer. Again, in regard to
pay day Of which he speaks, it does not
always lay within the farmers power to
have the ready cash at the end Of each
week to pay off hands.
II the Capitals worthy correspondent
will examine his article closely, he will
probably discover that he gets slightly
mixed, especially when he says: "But
in reality no party ever came before the
people with platform and declaration Of
principles so completely at variance with
the real sentiments, thoughts and spirits
which prompts action among the masses
composing II, or with public promises Of
ultimate purpose so entirely unwarranted
by the real aims, desires and hopes which
bind the people TO the party, as this same
Alliance party" Mind you, he informs
us that the Peoples party is q strictly
Alliance party Then he continues fur
ther on: "Thelr platforms fall to reflect
the true nature Of the party. They have
been made with the view to catch the
real reforner and deceive the unwary."
Now, does the gentleman mean to say
that the platform is better than the party,
or that the party is better than the plat
formY How Is Il that the platform is at
"varlance with the real sentiment Of the
thought and spirit which prompts action
among the masses composing It," and at
the same time Is so good that it
catches real reformersF" II he means
that the party is better than the platform
and does not express their sentiments,
then why will the party adopt and stand
by such platform?
In regard to the Alliance being the
sole trainers and indorsers OF this In
ferior or superior (whichS) platform, we
ask Mr.. x. IL the Farmers Alliance Is
the only industrial organization that
adopted this platform? If thiB Is all he
knows Of the real facts In the case, we
would advise him to stop writing to ad-
wise others until he can read up little,
and we take this opportunity Of inform
ing him that this platform was adopted
by leading representatives Of every proml-
nent labor organization in America which
constituted the great st. Louis conven-
ton.
In regard to the land aristocracy Of
which he speaks, we only need to refer
him to this platform and many Of the
declarations of the Alliance to inform
him what their standing Is on this sub
ject.
Returning to the farm hand once more,
we will say to the correspondent that the
farm hand cannot expect his just dues
80 long az those upon whom he is de-
pendent do not receive the same. But
IL our correspondent Is broad gauged,
deep thinking man, he should by this
time be ready TO see that Of all OF the
many evil evils which are hampering the
social and commercial interests Of Amerl-
cans, the one that is the most disastrous
lS the scarcity Of sufficient amount Of
the medium Of exchange to carry on the
business Of the country. Give us more

but not least prominent, that the writer
Of the srticle wants ."plum" from che
Republican party and win, no doubt,
feel greatly fiattered to have this party
pat him on the back as they did all farm
ers who denounced the Alliance during
the last campaign.
Let US ask, "Who are the farm hands
Of this country?" The majority Of them
are farmers sons who were reared on
the farm, who have left the old folks on
the little, old homestead, either because
the old farm was too small 10 longer fur
nlsh them steady and lucrative employ
ment, or because they have become dis
satisfied with the circumstances and op-
portunities fthe parental roof and choose
to seek their fortune by starting out for
themselves son their own hook" and
who expect some day, by practicing
economy, by trading and maneuverlng,
to become actual farmers and land owners.
To.daya farm hand, tomorrow the pro-
prietor of a farm and the overseer of
farm hands; or to day he may be farm
hand and tomorrow the renter Of farm
and an employer, or he may be both
proprietor and farm hand at the same
time. So we quickly see that 1t is al
most impossible to discern whore to draw
the line between the actual farmer and
the farm hand. Our sons are our neigh
bors' hired hands, our hired hands are
our nelghborS' sons. So closely are our
interests related that it would not be
wise for US to be at variance. In fact we
cannot, and the fact that a large number,
perhaps majority Of the farm hands are
already members Of the Farmers ALI
ance, goes TO prove this assertion.
However, il those who can classify
themselves as strictly farm hands by pro
fesslon, believe that their interests are
distinct fron1sehe farmer proper, why moi
get themselves together and organize
and make their demands as all other
classes Of labor have done?
The recognition which labor Is now
able to command from capital and legis-
lation is entirely due to organized and
united labor. Not only are most all
classes Of labor organized, but capital
and all American industries. Then why
should not the farmers form an alliance,
and who will object to a union Of farm
handsY
In accusing the Farmers Alliance Of
working to promote the interests Of other
laborers excluding farm hands, the Capt
taps correspondent says: "The Nebraska
legislature enacted an eight hour law
which applies to all excepting domestic
servants and farm hands. OF course this
measure was championed by the ALI
ance." The farmers endeaVor TO work
for the interests of all other classes of
labor because the average farmer Is him
self nothing more or less than laborer,
and he considers all other laborers his
co-workers. Any farm hand who has
been a farm hand long knows that the
farmer cannot at all times regulate his
work 80 as to have certain hours for be-
ginning and quitting work. Perhaps he
is interrupted in the morning by q
shower, or perhaps in the evening there
are indications Of rain and job must be
finished, or it is Saturday evening and he
has work which will not bear leaving

Republican voters Of Kansas TO wish
that they we've obliged to come in body
and stay through one entire session land

selves just what sort Of ninnies they have
been to keep set Of men in congress for
the sole purpose of perpetuating two old
party organizations and granting special

l came away from the house yesterday
fairly blue, with tobacco smoke (mem-
bers smoking right on the floor Of the
house, and discouragment, to think th&t
it is out of my power to charter few
special trains and bring the loyal Demo
Gratis and Republicans here that they
may hear with their own ears and smell
with their own noses the corruption and
the fOulness Of national legislation.
For long time it did seem as if there
was about to be one piece of legislation
note specially for the benefit! of any clique
or corporation. For long time many
of us studied the Paddock pure food bill
wondering how 1t came that a measure
seemingly meritorious could emanate
from such source. It was impossible
to find the catch until now that the bill,
which has been pushed before every body
of farmers and laborsrs In the country at
much cost of time and money, Is nearing
the time when 1t may become q law. At
last the colored person in the elevation
of wood has protruded his head in the
shape OF an amendment which explains
It's entire purpose. 1t is proposed to add
to the department of agriculture q new
bureau of food inspectors, consisting Of
chemists, clerks and laborers, whose duty
1t shall be to snalyze and certify to the
exact character of every article Of food
and every drug in the market. It hath
not yet entered into the heart of an un-
suspecting people to consider what an
army Of government employees this new
bureau would necessitate, all of whom
would be appointed under our present
vicious system Of patronage and thus
give more of the power of patronage to
the disinterested (H) patriots whose con-
Germ is so great lest the dear people have
pure food, that they have no interest in
trying to correct conditions under which
thousands of men are unable to get food
of any sort, pure Of impure.
A new census bureau is proposed that
also will call for many appointments and
much patronage. A thousand dollars
has just been appropriated to be ex-
pended In "lnYestigatlon" to determine
whether or not we ought to have this
census bureau.
The house committee on mines and
mining is favorable to a bureau of
mines and mining, with of course,
brand new secretary and increased cleri-
cal force. Oh, there's nothing "paternal"
about all this performance. The "pa-
ternslism" all comes in when the people
propose to own and operate their own
highways. See?
Yesterday, the discussion In the house
was on the appropriation for new battle
ships. The Democrats don't want TO ap-
propriate for more than one ship nOaC.
