NATIONAL DEMANDS OF
THE FARMERS ALLIANCE
AND INDUSTRIAL UNION
OFAMERICA, AS ADOPT
ED AT ST. LOUIS 1889.

/. That we demand the abolition
Of National banks, and the substitu-
ton of legal tender Treasury notes
in lieu Of National Bank notes, issu-
ed in sufficient volume to do the
business of the country on cash
system; regulating the amount
needed on per capita basis as the
business interests of the country ex-
pands, and that all money issued by
the government shall be legal tender
in payment of all debts, both public
and private.
2. That we demand that Congress
shall pass such laws as shall effectu-
ally prevent the dealing in futures
of all agricultural and mechanical
productions; preserving stringent
system of procedure in trials as shall
secure the prompt conviction, and
imposing such penalties as shall Sc
cure the most perfect compliance
with the law.
8. That we demand the free and
unlimited coinage of silver.
4. That we demand the passage
of laws prohibiting the alien owner
ship of land, and that Congress take
early steps to devise some plan to
obtain all lands now owned by
aliens and foreign syndicates and
that all lands low held by railroads
and other corporations, in excess of
such as is actually used and needed
by them, be reclaimed by the gov
eminent and held tor actual settlers
only.
5. Believing in the doctrine of
"equal rights to all and special
privileges to nOne,' We demand
that taxation, National or State,
shall not be used to build up one in
terest or class at the expense Of an
other. We believe that the money
of the country should be kept as
much as possible in the hands Of the
people, and hence we demand that
all revenue, National, State or Coun-
ty, shall be Unite to the necessary
expenses of the government Geo.
nomically and honestly administer
ed.
&. That Congress issue a suffici-
ent amount of fractional paper cur
rency to facilitate exchange through
the medium of the United States
mail
7. We demand that the means of
communication and transportation
shall be owned by and operated in
the interest of the people, as is the
United States postal system.

Over production? I will tell
you where the over-production
is 1t is in the cold-hearted and
hard-headed men who will not
zee any good thing which does
not belong to their class! It il
in the men who consider the
mere getting of gold the gospel
OF life; it is in the men who
have grown proud and cruel
because they possess capital
(the thing which was labor yes
terdssy) but utterly despise the
labor of to-day.
In a world where all capita,
was produced by labor and
where all the increase of that
capital and all the necessaries
OF a daily life are being created
by labor, | hold i: to be a plain
truth that labor is entitled To
these things, viz:
A suffic.ency of food, clothing
and lodging for the needs Of
to-day, sufficiency of leisure
from daily toll to preser ye the
st. ength Of the body and to
the Capacity of the
mind +; shortening of the hours
Of labor so that a man or woman
may not become mere beast
of burden, but will be a citizen.
who, like other citizens, has a
portion of the day for recrea-
ion, for social Intercourse and
or self improvement.

King and Telegrapher.

A sudden favorable turn of fortune
does not always ALLEVIATE the lucky in
dividual from his habitual occupations
This more or less wise saw is applicable
to the cause of the present king of
Segon, who was put on the throne of
his black kingdom by Colonel Archin-
ard, when his royal predecessor, Alma
dou, took to flight for his safety.
Mademba, the present monarch, is a
native of the country over which he at
present rules, but was formerly con-
troller of telegraphs at Senegal. Be-
fore accepting his regal state he made
it a condition that his name should
continue to be inscribed on the list of
telegraph servitors, and that his situa-
ton Of king should be considered as
subservient to that of his original en-
ployment.
Mademba must have learned, either
by intuition or from acute observation,
that the lot of a monarch is less certain
in these days than the position of an
officer in the service of the "Postes ct
Telegraphes, and so preferred to keep
in reserve what might one day prove to
be happy issue out of all his affiic-
tons.
He has, no doubt, constantly one eve
on his throne and the other one of
memory on the Office of his former tele-
graphic exploits. Should the future
bring about for Madelnba that change
which is in the modern order of things,
he may return to the tick tick of his
former days, with the right to add to
his title of preference that of king
of Segon."
Politeness in telegraph Offices, al
though once seriously complained of by
NJ. Guy de Maupassant, is generally the
rule, even with the ordinary employees:
but should Mademba of Segon ever
return to his Senegalian bureau. his
clients may expect to be treated in
right royal fashion by man who never
lost sight of business, even when pro
noted to the honors of an African
throne. Messenger.

TALENT MISOlRecTED.

A Pretty Canadian Girls Skfiifui Work
In Making Illegal Money.
For nearly nine months the public has
been systematically defrauded by the
skillful connivance of an adept at alter
ing bank notes. The man or woman
who conceived the idea and operated
the system must have had confederates,
as the work was carried ON somewhat
extensively.
The complaint first came from the
Dominion bank officials. One of their
experts found among the bills one day a
two dollar note which was about three
eighths of an inch shorter than the
usual length. He examined the bill
more infinitely, and discovered that
small piece was missing from a place
almost in the center of the note Think
ing that this might have been torn out
accidentally, nothing was thought of
the occurrence until few days later
another bill of the same denomination
turned up, short in length to the same
extent as the first.
The piece missing from this bill, how
ever, it was noticed, was from another
portion of the note. Suspicion was
aroused and a careful scrutiny of the
bill made, whereupon it was discovered
that the missing piece had been cut out
But the work had been done so cleverly
and accurately that no person but an ex
pert banker would notice the deficiency
The detective department was com
municated with, and the short bills
which continued to come in were hand
ed over to them. It was several months
before they were able to understand
how the perpetrators of the fraud could
be benefited. At last they had nine of
these short bills, and an analysis of the
different places where the cutting oper.
alton had been performed solved for
them the problem.
There had been enough paper taken
from these nine bills to make, if properly
put together, a tenth note almost as long
as the others, which would pass any
where undetected. The detectives knew
that the work was going on, and an
officer was put on the case especially
some months ago. Several weeks ago he
suspected that the operator was a wom-
an, and close watch was kept over her.
Yesterday warrant was sworn out
accusing pretty young woman named
Catharine Rhodes with altering and ut
tering Dominion bank bills. She is only
eighteen years of age and lives with her
father, Robert Rhodes, laborer, at As
Wardell street. It is understood that
the operators, whoever they are, have
been making five dollar notes in the
same manner out Of bills belonging to
other Canadian banks. The cutting out
work was evidently done with razor
and by cunning hand.-Toronto Globe. |

Gen, Weaver, while in Con-
gress, was a National Green
hacker, and fought maneully for
the principles advocated in the
platform OF that party. The
Democratic papers are search

against the Democratic party
while in Congress, aud in his
military career for every utter
ance he made against the South,
while d Northern general. In
the first instance he would have
been untrue to his conscience
and faithless to his constituents
had he no: stood squarely for
his party, even t., the detriment
OF the Democratic part, and as
ior Tie Republican party, it
was denounced boldly in the
platform on hich he was
elected. And In the second
instance, he would have been a
traitor to his country had lie
been otherwise than urfr;ond1u
to the South while a Northern
general. Ifthis s why his politi,
cal enemies parade him in their
head lines as "South Hatern
then he would acknowled ge the
crime and plead guilty, and so
would dozens of other Federal
generals, among whom were
some of the most gallant and
patriotic soldiers that ever
