Prof. SnoM,s Remedy.

The report of Chancellor Snow on ex.
periments with his chinch bug extermi-
nator for the past year shows that field
experiments were made in seventy-eight
counties in Kansas last year. The total
number of experiments made was 1,231.
Of these 96j were successful, 1877 were
failures and 1919 were doubtful Expert
ments made in other states bring the
total number that were successful up to
l,071. In his summary of crops saved
as the result of his experiments Chan
cellor Snow says; In making their re-
ports as to the benefit received from the
use of the infection, 4S2 of the 1,O71 sue
cessful experiments gave their own esti-
mates of the number of bushels of grain
saved by the experiment The sum of
these estimates amounts in cash value
to SS7, 244 10. or an average of S1S1 for
each farmer, 1t is fair to presume that
this average may be fairly applied to
the remainder of the LOGS successful eX-
periments. This would give an aggre-
gate saving of 1888 This amount
saved by the farmers means additional
profit for the railroads and the millers,
so that 100000 is a very conservative
estimate of the actual value of the ex.
periments in 1891"

FARMERS ALLIANCE.
ALLIANCE NOTES.

South Carolina is falling into line
with the new party. The old bourbon
democrats of that state will be left
again.
The prosperity of the farmer and
laborer means the prosperity of the
manufacturers and business men. When
poverty overtakes the producer the man
of business suffers with him. Only the
Shylock profits by the degradation of
labor Labor pays all debt and an en-
slavement of labor is a calamity to
everyone except the money owners
West Coast Mail.
So the republican platform has
dwindled down to honest money" and
the democratic platform has simmered
down to tariff reform" and each pair
of words is what they call principles.
But if you ask any of them to explain
the principle involved, they fly right off
the handle and begin to abuse the
calamity howlers." We would rather
be calamity bowler than nonentity.

THE SITUATION IN GEORGIA.
The Great Reform is Sweeping Everything
Before It-NOthing Can Turn the Tide
The People Thoroughly Awake to Their

The People Thoroughly Awake to Their
Interests.
Mr. George c. Ward, Kansas City, No
The situation in Georgia is watched
with eagle eye by every politician in the
land. The progress of the movement
throughout the west and great north
west is dependent upon the result of the
Georgia campaign. The daily press
throughout the country is doing every
thing in its power to crush the move
ment. The politicians of both old par
ties are exerting every nerve to drive
the people back into the old organiza-
tons. They are waving the bloody
shirt and crying negro supremacy in the
south, and in the west it is rebel brig
adler" These old threadbare stories
have fired the people long enough Raj
lying at the cry of these demagogues
the people had forgotten their own
rights and for twenty years have been
robbed by those who pretended to be
their friends.
In the south these devices have ceased
to move the people. They are now
fighting for their just rights and moth
ing can side-track them. The bloody
shirt has been buried and it is impossi-
bic for the bully" politician to resur-
rect il.
Georgia's political situation to-day is
this: A fight to the finish between the
people and the politicians. The masses
will win in this fight and the banner OF

reform will waive over free and indie
pendent people once more.
Such men as Livingston and Moses
are trying hard now to drive the people
again into party servitude by popping
the party lash over them, but it is
futile. Failing in this line they at
tempt to convince the world by lying
that they have accomplished wonders.
Their copartnership with the associated
press gives them fine opportunity to
get in their work. They send out from
Washington dispatches like this:
WASHINGTON, April 2L-Congressman Liv.
ingston who has just returned from Georgia.
says that when he reached that state he found
that the peoples party movement was flourish
ing. He and other democrats who took the
stump against it however turned the leaders
down in every debate and carried the alliance
people back into the democratic party. He SAYS
there is no further need for fear, as the demo
Gratis will carry every district
This style of lying is an agreement
between the papers and the bloody
shirt congressman who desire to deceive
the western people and make them be-
lieve that the south will prove untrue
in this great strike for right, home and
freside.
Col. Livingston deserted the people
with whom he had fought so manfully
and now seeks to drive them under his
dictates like a car. They will not
drive, and of this he is satisfied in his
own heart. His recent tour of his dis
triet was sufficient to convince him that
the great common people are in earnest
In their demands for relief and will not
follow blindly the leader whose party
insults them.
Georgia stands to-day overwhelm-
ingly for the great reform movement,
and in October will prove its faith by
Its vote. The movement is stronger to-
day than at any previous period, and is
fastreceiving aeeessions. Almost every
county in the state is organized and in
less than six .weeks the machinery OF
the new party will be in full trim in
every county and the fight will be on.
Have no fears about Georgia. She
will march to the polls hand in hand
with the west and restore this once
proud republic her former prestige and
independence and to the people Their
rights The people, instead of the dol
lar, will be made supreme and thelabor
ershall receive the full value of his WORK

The National Executive Committee Unal.
terably Opposed to Fusion.
Within the last thirty days l have re-
ceived so many letters inquiring about
fusion with one of the old parties that
/ am compelled to make this statement
to the public. These inquiries have all
grown out Of the reports that the old
party press have been sending over the
country. They are all pure fabrications
without single word of truth in them.
Mr.. Fish, Of Minnesota, writes: That
fusion matter is the rankest kind of a
fraud, lie of the deepest dye" The
same report comes from Kansas, Ne
braska and the Dakotas
The following is resolution offered
by Mr.. Washburne, at session of the
executive committee at st. Louis, June
1891, which was unanimously adopted,
and will show how the committee
stands on this question, and what fu-
sion advocates may expect from us:
Resolved, That the national executive com
mittee is unalterably opposed to fusion with
any other political party, and will not recognize
any individual, committee or organization that
proposes or enters into such fusion. as affiliated
with the peoples party
Fusion means confusion, and will
lead to nothing else. We want all the
votes we can get We want every
democrat and republican to come with
us, and we would like to have every
office within the gift of the people, but
we can't afford to secure either votes or
office by bartering away our principles.

A Rate Decision.

The interstate commerce commission
has announced its decision of the cases
brought by the Anthony Salt Co., and
other Kansas salt manufacturers against
the Missouri Pacific, and other Kansas
roads. The case is dismissed as to
points in Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska,
but it is held that rates on salt IL
points south and southwest of Hutchin-
son, Kan, and ST. Louis, Mo-, do con-
stitute undue preference in favor of
Michigan as against Kansas salt and
that they should be readjusted by the
Santa Fe system so that while observ.
ing the law as to the long and short
haul the advantage of distance belong
ing to Kansas salt fields shall be given
to them in any territory supplied by
fines which lie as near or nearer to
hutchinson than St. Louis. .

THERE is a good coinage elec-
toral ticket in the field in this State
now, and it is the duty of both the
old parties in the State to endorse
this ticket and place none other in
the field. Such action would show
to the enemies of silver that Neva-
da was presenting a solid front on
the free-coinage question. How
ever, if the Democrats and Repub-
licans do put electoral tickets in
the field it will avail them nothing,
for neither could win. Then the
two old jades would feel as though
they had made an indecent expos
ure of themselves.

THE Senate yesterday passed
Stewards free-coinage bill. The
Senate is a Republican body by a
small majority, and has now shown
its hand plainly, by doing what the
largely Democratic House failed to
do. If the Democrats want to be
considered friends of silver they will
now pass the Stewart bill in the
House and send it to the President.
This will give Harrison chance to
show his hand. We do not believe
he will sign the bill if it gets to him,
bat there are many who do. Should
he do SO he will carry the Pacific
Coast solid. Stewart and Morgan
were the two hardest workers for
the bill in the Senate.
