THAT BOND SCHEME.

4 number of Democratic politi-
clans are just now very much exer-
cised about how to get enough mon
ey to run the government. Some
propose that the government issue
more bonds bearing interest. This
would fasten upon the people still
greater interest bearing debt This
would lie just as Objectionable as
the funding and refunding policy Of
the Republican party which the
Democrats have denounced so
much. Why does not Congress pass
the graduated income tax and lay a
tax on the income of the millionaires
baakers, bondholders and railroad
kings who now practically pay no
taxi Such tax at a low per cent I.
would raise over $500 900, 900 a
year and every cent of it would be
paid by men who are now so rich
that they would never miss it. The
Alliance has demanded that these
men pay their fair share of the tax
es of the country and the Demo-
era ic State platform adoptd the same
demand The bond scheme would
tax the people. The income tax

The politicians and newspapers

gingerly and carefully, for fear
the "great business interests"
of the country will be dis
turbed. The so-called 'sbdsi-

do not wish to be disturbed, for
they are satisfied with things
as they are-but how about the

OF the country? They are now

GAMBLING ON COTTON AND
POOLING THE PEOPLE,

Wepublish below telegraphic
dispatch which appeared in the
Wilmington Star on last Satur-
day, the 10th. Read it:
By telegraph to the Morning Star.
New York, Nov. 25.-A re-
markable advance has been made
in the prosperity of the South
since the beginning of cotton
year in September, owing to the
large advance made in the prices
OF the commodity.
CHARLESTON, Nov. 2s.-An
object lesson of the value of
trading in futures, which the
Hatch Anti-options designs to
suppress is being taught South
ern planters to-day and its effect
is likely to be felt when the bill
is taken up for consideration in
the United States Senate. Three
months ago cotton was selling
here at u cents. To-day It
touched "a cents and 10 cents.
One explanation of this is the
short crop, but another is specu-
latlve trading. The importance
OF this latter was pointed out by
a local authority to-day. who
said: "When the season opened
there was surplus of over one
million bales, depression in for
elgd trade, and no hope of a
good demand when a new cron
was made. The new crop IS
here, and reports show that most
OF it is out of first hands. Prices
have advanced Fl cents, and the
market is climbing. What has
done this !? Speculative trading.

TIE ALLIANCE HAS NOT SPLIT.

|, The press dispatches sent out
from Memphis over the whole
country, said that the Alliance
had split. That DIR. Macune and
number of the Southern dele
gates had withdrawn and that
they would organize a separate
Alliance. This is untrue, yet it
has been sent out by the news
syndicates known as the "asso-
ciated and "united Press" to the
daily newspapers of the country.
1t will be copied by every little
country weekly and will be read
and believed by millions of the
American people. The news syn
dicates are doing the people a
great wrong to thus impose up
on them. Now we will give you
facts, but only a few thousand Of
the millions who read the false
reports will see this. DIR. Ma
cune was a candidate for the
Presidency. He thought he was
not treated right by the body.
He and a few of his special
friends withdrew from the hall.
This was at a night session. The
election of officers was postpon-
ed till the next morning, at which
time every delegate (including
those who withdrew the night
before) was in his seat. DR.. Ma
cune explained the next day,
that though his feelings were
wounded, he did not intend to
withdraw from the Alliance.
The Alliance is not split but
will proceed with more deter
mination and solidity than ever
before.

WHAT WILL THE DEMOCRATS DO
ABOUT IT?

The Wilmington Star of las,
Saturday says:
at costs France four per cent.
OF her annual revenue to paw
pensions, and it costs this coun-
try about forty per cent. But
France hasn't such a large num-
Der of pension agents and vote
hunters to keep up"
Now the Democrats are in
full possession of the government
let us see what they will do
about it. Ever since the war the
Democratic party has been criti-
Ching the Republican party on
its pension record and CHARGING
that they were paying extrava-
giant and excessive pensions. In
1879 the amount of money paid
annually IN pensions by the Re-
publican party, was only $27,-
137,o19. On that very campaign
the Democrats said that it was
outrageous and extravagant to
pay twenty-seven million dollars
a year in pensions. Now the
question is, how much could the
Democratic party have reduced
the amount then if they had been
in power If they had reduced
1t all they could not have had
the cheek after having SO much
to say about it, does less than to
reduce it to $2o,ooo,ooo at least.
Since that time, over fourteen
years, number, at least one
half have died who were gettino
pensions. So to-day under Dem
ocratlc management the pension
roll should not amount to over
100000. The party is now
In power let us see if they have
the honesty to stand up to their
professions. The amount Maid :,
pensions last year was $1o2 ,ooo.-

The Htndrences to Reform the Open
Enemy, the Hypocrite and the

whether the open antagonism of the

which vice pays to virtue or the
laundering of fool friends is the
greatest stumbling block in the eff
orts toward labor's emancipation.
am almost convinced that either of
the two last named do more to pre-
vent progress than the former. The
hypocrite in the pulpit, the editorial
chair orator or the platform who pre-
tends to be the friend of the work
ingman, deludes him by advice
which has weight with the untutored
and minimizing, because the cloven
foot is hidden behind an ambush of
words that on their face sympathize
with acknowledged grievances. The
politician not only admits that the
workingman has just cause for COM
plant, but he denounces the enemy
of our "bone and sinew" in the
strongest of terms.
The wiley trickster comes posing
as Moses to lead the people out
of bondage, while he blinds our
eyes with plausible falsehoods.
And the worst of it he comes up
punctually in every political cam
paign with his handful of eye dust
and succeeds in fooling them every
time. R. Buchanan.
