90 CENTS OFFERED FOR HOPS.
But tho Growers Are Not willing to
Sell at That Price.

PUYALIuP, Oct. 18-[Special. &c. W.
Stewart was offered on October % cents
for his hops, but did not sell. The only
sale reported in this state up to today is
the sixtv-seven bales belonging to George
Marshall, sold TO the Puyallup Hop Com
pany last week and delivered on the 18th
inst. One hundred bales were bought by
this same company in Eugene. Or. at IS
and 20 cents, being of different qualities.
E. C. Merrill was offered 21 cents for his
Oregon crop of 275 bales. but did not ac-
cent, This lot of 275 bales was q partic-
ularlv fine lot, this being the reason of the
l cent advance. The ruling price in Puy-

A. c. Campbell and George l.. Rose all
offering this for choice hops. There are
floating rumors Of more being offered.
Ezra Meeker visited Kent last Friday
and said in regard to the yards of the Puy-
allup Hop Company. at that place, that
the seyenty-hve pickers still at work in
the lower or Riverside yard would finish
picking on the 18th and that the crop was
the finest quality ever harvested IN Wash
ington.
The latest dispatch received from Lon
don states that the market of that city is
shows tendency downward. There seems
to he more of disposition among the
growers to sell than heretofore. 1t is
thought that IN another week the market
will open. II is feared by some that the
growers who were obliged 70 mortgage
their crops for the means TO raise and pre-
pare the crop tor market will come TO grief
by the mortgage coming due before good
price is offered by the buyers, and be
obliged TO put their crop on the market for
what they can get. thus supplying the de-
rnand and keeping prices down. But 1t is
also said that some banks have enough
faith in the good price that will be paid
for hops, provided the growers are not
Obliged to sell. to come forward TO the re-
lief OF the grower by ioaning him sufficient
10 liquidate his Indebtedness 10 the mort
gage. II such an arrangement can be made
and the price rises as anticipated, the
growers, as well as all other residents OF
this part Of Washington, will be very glad.

Tho Negro and the Tariff.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct la-Following is q
synopsis of an address to the colored va
ters by the National Negro Tariff Reforu
League: 'The negro is completely shut
from the industrial and manufacturing
institutions where skilled labor is de-
manded. He is doomed to the most SER
vile and least remunerative work. Ex-
ports are the balance wheel of
government prosperity" The docu-
ment then proceeded to argue
from statistical report of the exports that
the negro derives no direct benefit from 9
high protective tariff, and It is therefore
resolved that 1--WE, as tariff reformers, in
dorse the candidacy of Grover Cleveland
and Stevenson as representatives of the
cause of tariff REFORM" The document
closes with resolution Of sympathy With
the president in his affiiction.

Pierce County Peoples Party Scared

Pierce County Peoples Party Scared.
TACOMA, Oct. 1s.-[Special. THE Peo-
ple's party managers of the county were
greatly excited today, it being the last
day on which they could file their ticket
with the county auditor. The printed
ticket had not been sent down by the Sec
retary of state, and it was said the party
would have no chance to show how many
votes it could poll in the county. All the
other tickets had been filed with the
county auditor, but by some mlshap the
Peoples party ticket had not been at
tended to. Some one in the county audi
tors Office notified the Weaverites last
evening, and then there was a row and a
great skirmish. The Weaverite managers
say Secretary of State Weir took cogni-
zance of the oversight and sent a special
messenger over from the capitol this fore
noon with the ticket, and that it was
filed all right today. 1t is intimated that
the Democrats, who have been working
hard for fusion in this county, put up a
job" on the Weaverites to keep out their
ticket, knowing that many of the "fai.h-
ful' of their party would vote with the
Peoples party if provided with tickets.

GIVE HIM PLENTY OF ROPE.

The editor of the Wilson AdUdnce
claims that "Gideonites" have made
threats against him; that a letter was
pushed under his office door one night
recently warming him that he must not
send out such a rank paper or else they
would throw his carcass into Toisnot
swamp" or words to that effect.
If this be true these festive "Gid-
eonites are getting off their base. Our
way of disposing Of such rank cranks
would be to simply give him all the
rope he wants. This story may not be
true, however. Since it is reported
that Democrats are killing and sending
threatening letters to negroes in Geor-
gia because they voted the Democratic
ticket, telling them that if they do so
any more they will be killed, and then
trying to blame it on the Peoples
party, we are prepared for surprises.
We don't charge that the editor of the
Advocate did doso, but it is not at all
impro0lhl that he sent the noteto him
self, or that some of his friends did so
just for effect. We have watched the
antics of politicians closely, and never
get excited when they make state
ments. 1t is likely that the gang who
,egged Marion Butler at Wilson are the
only "Gideonites' IN that county, and
they do not belong to the Alliance nor
the Peoples party. But they are mean
enough t % threaten the life of the editor
of the Advance, and take it too.

TO WIPE Them OUT.

The Kansas City, No, Journal,
organ of the m~oneycrats, says: Kan
sas has cleaned out the Dal on gang.
Now for the other enemies of the State
the calamity hOwlers."
What do you think of a paper that
compares farmers, mechanics and
others who are demanding justice,
with robbers like the Daltons? These
people who r bowling only ask for a
fair chancellor equal rights. The
Journal may not be rich, but the hogs
who direct it's vile utterances have
made fortunes out of the honest farm
ers who it reviles. 1t would have them
CLEANED up" no further use for them.
North Carolina has such ~things-every
State has. Their power to rob the
people should be taken from them.
Christ was a calamity bowler when
he overturned the tables of the money
changers. Sooner or later they will
be overturned in these United States.
When our ancestors threw the tea
overheard in Boston harbor they were
calamity howlers. The p%lutocrats who
we're robbing them called them all
kinds of vile names. The calamity
howIers at last gained their indepen-
dence after a terrific struggle. The
calamity howlers of this day will do it.
II must come and the ballot is the
weapon to use. If you fail, you or
your children will have to use force.
Better settle the matter peaceably.

LOOK OUT

For the campaign liars for the next
week. All kinds of rumors, forgeriea
f llse reports ETC., about the Peoples
party and it's management have been
concocted and will be circulated, To
be on the safe side, judge them by
their past works, and give a deaf ear
to all these reports. If the men in the
Peoples party are such bad fellows, why
have not these same campaign liars
been before the courts and had them
arrested? They were good citizens
heretofore, but in their eyes it is hon
orable to defame the character of good
men, who have no right, according to
their IDEAS to stand for their rights
and principles, unless it be under the
d~ictation and leadership of the d. o. p.
machine.

MORE

Intolerance by plutocrats is almost
as rabid in the North and West as it
is South. The Republicans and Demo
Gratis are in the same boat.
After a Prohibition speaker closed a
meeting in Cleveland, Ohio, the other
night, he was set upon and beaten
nearly to death. At Redlands, Cal,
another was egged. At Sandy Hill,
N. Y, on the 22d a mob tore down all
hand bills giving notice of ex-Gov. St.
Johns speaking. At Greenfield Center
his speaking was broken up by toughs.
At Syracuse, N. Y, posters announc-
ing speaking by St. John were torn
down. Our Prohibition friends seem
to be in for their share of plutocratic
persecution. Ballots enough will change
all this. See that they go against plu-
tocratic intolerance and robbery.

GETTING LONESOME.

Grimesland Alliance, Pitt county,
seems to be getting lonesome. 1t pre-
scented resolutions as long as the moral
law at the last county meeting, but it
seems they were not successful. They
have been published. They kick against
the action of the State Alliance in
adopting the st. Louis platform. Well,
brethren, 80 per cent. of the delegates
did the work. Do you suppose they
will surrender to a small minority
unless they find they made a mistake
and we haven't heard of anybody los
ing sleep or hair on account of their
action yet.
They also ''deplore" the fact that
President Butler is a partisan" they
deny him the right to prostitute his
high Office for partisan PURPOSES"

ANOTHER TERRIBLE CATAS-
TROPHE.

This is a big country. Everything
is done on a big scale. Our railroad
wrecks and fires are no exception.
Friday night the city of Milwaukee,
Wisconsin was burned The fire is be-
lievei to have been of ~incendiary
origin. A wind-storm was raging when
the fire started, and even after help
came from other cities, the fire could
not be stopped before from twenty to
thirty millions of dollars worth of
property went up in smoke. Entire
blocks of buildings were torn down.,
but the flames leaped across the space.
A number of people were killed and
many hurt. The burnt district was
covered with factories and business
blocks. Perhaps this was the most de-
structive fire since the Chicago fire in
1871.

cansure several prominent Alliance
men who are running for Congress on
the Democratic ticket, several on the
Democratic State ticket, and one or
two on the Republican State ticket, as
we'll as many that are running for
county and legislative offices. The
candidate for Governor on the Demo
cratic and Prohibition tickets are mem
bers of the Alliance. Why in the world
don't you "deplore" some about their
reckless way of doing7 Every n OF
the Peoples party State ticket, except
one, are Alliancemen Why not shed
a few tears and "deplore" some more
on that account2
The brethren in Grimesland and a
few other Alliances i'll the State ought

and help them laugh. The smart peO-

many parties. We are surprise d at

they are Democrats. Let usall be more

FOR A AUDITOR.

The ways of the politician are be-

was announced that Mr.. E G. Butler,
of Henderson, had accepted the nomi-
nation for State Auditor on the Peoples

out with the awful story about his
having a lawsuit once upon a time
Oh! it was horrible. Mr.. Butler had
been in a lawsuit! Whew!
AS a rebuttal Mr.. Prince has an
article in this paper in which he fur
nishes testimonials as to the good
character of Mr.. Butler, furnished by
several of the best citizens in Hender-
son, Vance and Granville counties.
Note that not one of them is a Peoples
party man nor a member of the same
