THE CONFLICT Is ON.
A GREAT BATTLE FOR PRINCi-
PIE is RAGING.

Conflict aud the Producer Or AccumMu-
latOr Must Yield The Treasury Sur

Decide II With Your lsaIlOtS.

A great battle for princi pie is rag
ing! 1t is the beginning Of an ire
prcssiblc conflict in which either the
producer or the accummrlsator must
yield their prestige. God pity the av-
eragc man who can not see the con-
tlict as it is, and three is he to be
pitied whose interest is with the
wealth producers and who is insensi-
bic to the magnitude of the issue. The
work of education in the Alliance
lodges has had the effect Of bringing
thousands upon thousands into a com
pact which has rcvolutionized poIiti-
cal thought.
Ours was thought to be model
government because it was Icnomin-
atcd free republic" It's first boast
was that individuals We're left free
to exercise their rights in the struggle
for promotion. This bore On its face
the semblancc Of true freedom. and
had it been left in It's originate Y
would have proved SO, hut sel'ishness
soon bore down upon justice with all
Of its exactions and the purpose OF our
fathers was overtlrown and wealth
and influence were the usurpcrs.
For generations the idea has been
prevalent that no mistakes were made
by the founders OF this government
and that We are following the course
mapped out by them. Few mistakes
were made in the plan of our institu
tions, but we have driftcd far from
our moorings, and how? by mis-
conceived idea of what constitutes in
dividual rights. The opinion now Is

deficit is very loudly hintel at, and
Senator Allison comes to the relief of
the treasury authorities to help them
figure out small surplus. How Sen
ator Allison can be expected to know
more about what is- in the treasury
than the treasury officials themselves,
may seem little mysterious, but ac-
cc-ding to the politicians the iinan-
cial IT ,stion is mysterious one any
way.
But give the authorities their own
way in the matter, accept their own
statement, and it is rs follows as given
out by the Associated Press, and pub
lished by the party papers:
Washington, II. C.. May 81 The
treasury balance to-day ar. stated at
S.,.os.'. >4A. made up entirely Of de-
puSit> in National Eank>, subsidiary sill
Yer and minor coin.
There is one statement there tha: is
certainly signiiicant-"m "made up cn-
i,riy Of deposits in National Ednhs!"
If that means anything, and It comes
from the treasury authorities; we clip
it from the G!obc-Democrat it means
that all money owned by the United
States as available funds, except frac-
tional silver, nickel and copper coins,
is in the possession Of the National
Banks: deposited in National Banks
and used by those institutions without
interest. The above is in no sense
garbled, it is just as it was sent out by
the Associated Press, and not without
authority. Read il, and if it does not
mean what we have said, We are unable
to understand it otherwise. Progress

throned and the producing powers are

They see how and where our institn-
tions bavc been prostitutcd for selfish
aims, this has been the great educa-
tional work Of the farmers organiza-
tions of the past ten years. They are
arrayed now in bonds of union to sup
press the ulccrous evil of this class of
supremacy. Hand i'll hand with the
farmer can be found the wage Garner

law silver rapidly fell in value from
1874 cents per ounce to % cents, AMI
with the fall Of price in silver fell the
price of labor anI of every product of
labor, more especially cotton and
wheat. The advocates of free coinage
claim that if silver is remonetized it will
rise rapidly to its old price and with it
all labor and the products of labor. This
country had free coinage of silver from
the foundation of the Government in
1892 down to 1873. Since it was de-
monetized wages have fallen nearly
onc-half, and it has contributed its
full share to the miscrics Of the coun-
try. We have no law for coinage of
silver, but the Secretary of the Treas
ury is reported to purchase 4, 100000
ounces per month of bullion; this has
raised the price but not to any great cx-
tent. The objection of those who do
not understand the question to free
coinage, is that they want honest
money, and this ilea is kept up by the
representatives of Wall Street. Money
has but one function and that is its
dcbt-paying power, and the dollar we
have to-day will pay debts. Ask a
man what is ''lonest money" and he
will tell you gold, vet not five in a
thousand have five-dollar gold piece
tthe smallest gold coin in England or
America) in ten years. Gold is not
the money of the people in any coun-
try. Germany and France have more
silver coin than we have, while Eng
land coined more silver than the
United States. Silver is the money of
the poor man and gold is the
money of the plutoerat. He is will
ling that silver should circulate among
the poor, but he does not want them
to save much of it. But when mortg-
age is to be paid off it must be gold
both of the old political party bosses
agree on these points.

last, but Just now the railroad company
is rcmodcling the large milk depot at
Indiana and jefferson streets, trans
fcrrng it one block north. to Erie AMI
jefferson, and considerably improving
the facilities. The enormous milk plat
form now being constructed there Is be-
ing specially built for the purpose
On the arrival of Il milk train at any
of these stations the platform Is crowd
cl with sevcnty-tivc, one hundred Or
more wagons, each waiting. for its load
of milk. From the big milk dealers a
string of wa CONS each is present. while
the smaller dealers have. perhaps, only
one or two wagons there. Altogether
there arc just about an even 1000 milk
dealers in town. A few of these sell
hundreds of cans daily to their patrons,
one company alone $50 cans. or $500
gallons. But the bulk OF them, being
small dealers, are satisfied with ten cans
or less. Each can is prop lly marked
and labeled, so that no mistake can oc-
cur as to its destination. On each milk
train, however, there is u milk conductor,
and his experience and skill materially
assist in the task of assigning and de-
livering each lot of milk cans to the
proper consignces. There Is, besides,
an expert III the employ OF the North
western Road, who is the milk agent,
and who supervises the unloading ol
each milk train. The freight on oil this
milk has to be paid by the farmer,
and to facilitate this part Of the Lusi
ness, milk tickets are sold to the farm
ers mt stated rates, each ticket being fol
can of regulation size. In this way q
great deal Of time and bother is saved
both to the company and to the dairy
farmer. These tickets are sold III
quantities ranging from 100 to 500 at q
time, according to the size o: each Gus.
toner's dairy.

country In Northern Illinois and South
ern Wisconsin. The best and richest
milk we drink is obtained from the dairy
farms that are thicklv scattered all over
the Fox River yalley-a district which
for Il number of years has borne WE'LL
deserved reputation In this respect.
The mnin shipping points for milk are
Crystal Lake, Darlington. Dundee,
Gilbcrts. Algonquin and Huntlcy, but
altogether there are some l6o os them
on the Northwestern road close, with
another 2ce and over on the milwaukee,
and st. Paul and other roads. And the
number of these stations Ii constantly
increasing.
On an average some 1n,GOo oans arc
shipped TO Chicago every day in the
year, but during the Summer this rscs
TO II, 200 cans and over, while In winter
it frequently drops to 5000. All these
milk cans are Of uniform size. zach
holding an even cigh: gallons. while in
other cities these cans are of different
sizes, those in New York, for instance,
with capacity of ten gallons. These
cans arc all owned by the farmers, each
Of them being compelled to keep two or
three sets Of them. And this, II may
readily be conceived, represents quite u
large sum Of money. AS matter Of
fact, the milk dealers of Chicago. big
and little. do business on the farmer i
capital, that capital Icing these
identical milk cans. However, for the
farmer the cost Of these cans plays
no very considerable part, even in the
case of pretty large Ia;rics, which send
their twenty-five TO forty cans Of milk
to town each day, while for the big milk
dealer the expense would be very
large one, running into tEo thousands Of
dollars. Similarly, tco, when cans be-
gin to leak or are battered on: of shape
and become useless. the farmer has
again to foot the bill. paying for the
purchase of new cans and the repair OF
old ones. Thus we sec once more that
the farmer gets the worst of the bargain
when dealing with the shrewd city man.
As Tor the cows which produ C the
great bulk o. the milk we use they
nearly all belong 10 "a very common stock
of cattle, experience having taught the

that the high-brcd cattle, the pondcrous

fifty or eighty miles. To see to 1t,
though, that the milk was In good form
in the first place is one of the chief
points the dairy farmer has to look out
for.
After milking his cows In the early
morning. the farmer has to sec to II that
his milk Is at cncc placed in :he cooling
watts so as to thoroughly extract all the
animal heat in the fluid. This process
is u simple one. each can OF milk being
placed neck high in cool or cod water,
and usually it requires but from twenty
minutes to half an hour 70 cool the milk
sufficiently fo- shipment. Thc, each
farmer, of course, has 70 see 10 it that
his daily stock Of milk is taken TO the
depot 80 as to be in r adiness for the
arriving milk train. On tn way there.
II the sun Is hot, he has TO shield h is
milk from the direct rays o: tho sun.
At the larger milk stations. such as

Arriving in the CITY.
The system of distributing the milk
after its arrival in town has been nearly
brought to perfection. The Northwest
EN- Road. for instance, has no fewer
than SIX milk stations within the city
limits. These are bcatcd at Cly' ourn
place, at Western avenue, at 18th street.
