lr wasthe proud boast of the Harrison
administration that lis South American
policy increased our trade with the peo-
pie of the South American republics.
Did anyone ever think it an Objection to
our increase of trade that our Southern
neighbors maintain tho silver standard?
1t is not Of the slightest interest 10 us
commercially what standard other ma
tions may have. The only foreigners in
terested in our standard Of money are
the holders OF American securities.
Their American interests are represented
in Wall street. The smaller gold bugs
throughout the earth are their progeny.

THE crown prince of Russia was in
England the other day to attend the
royal wedding. lie was guarded by a
small regiment of detectives, but he
wanted to be as free and easy as the
sprigs Of British nobility, and gave his
guards a lively chase, During his stay
in London he received by post, suppos-
eddy from a Russian a packet
containing a piece of rusty iron chain
and a letter, as follows:
This chain is symbolical of the odious
tyranny which prevails in your country.
! advise you to take advantage of the
time spent in a free country to see the
happiness and contentment which pre-
walls, compared with your own down
trodden people. Study the question
deeply, keep this chain before you as a
perpetual reminder of the awful suffer
ings which your own people have to en-
dure. III it n spark OF better
feeling in your breast ! am satisfied. If,
on the contrary, you continue the per
secution as your ancestors and f%orerun-
ners have done, | warn you that all your
guards will not suffice to prevent the eX
ecution of that vengeance which will
then be your due.
Would the Russian prince understand
this:

y correspondent of the Helena hide
pendent telegraphed from here on We'd
ncsday that several Helena gentlemen
had come down to welcome Secretary
Smith to Montana. Tho inference to
persons not informed might be that
there was nobody in Great Falls to at
tend to this formality. But the citizens
OF Great Falls got there just the same.
They entertained Mr.: Smith and his
party handsomely, and treated the
Helena gentlemen like lords.

SAYS the Oakland, Cal, Enquirer:
The new king is always popular; the
coming prince is always a hero. When
Cleveland called congress together the
price of silver went up and stocks rose
on the New York market, This is
human nature; it assumes that a politi-
cal remedy can and will be applied TO
the ills of the country. Nobody knows
what it will be and few can agree what
it ought to be, but something good is
looked for and there is happiness in the
anticipation That sizes it UP. The
people are temporarily daft, and that's
all there is to. it.

standard, and purge the nation Of all
bank notes below the denomination of
$50, SO that silver might perform it's
beneficent mission in the world.

IT is unpatriotic in Americans, no
matter what their position in life may
be, to look to foreign countries for help
in the fiscal affairs of this country. 1t
is treason in American statesmen to seek
counsel Of foreign tinanciers as to what
the measure of our money shall be. AS
well might one of our merchants after
bargaining for a million yards Of goods
from an eastern merchant leave it to his
option how long a yard stick the goods
should be measured by. 1t would be
took lessons of our school boys. From
them they could learn this is the great
est country and we are the greatest peo-
pie the sun ever shown On. The school
boy of today knows that ours is the
greatest manufacturing country in the
the world, that we grow cotton enough
to clothe the.world. and can grow grain
enough to feed it. That we publish
nearly half of all the newspapers in the
anu more scilooi DOohS man any
other two nations. That we have r. ore
than a third of all the railroads in the
world and three times more electrical
apparatus than all the rest of the world.
The school boy knows we are the great
est producer of gold and silver in the
world, He knows that commerce is
merely barter and that only balances
are settled with gold and silver and that
even in settlement gold and silver are
given and taken not as money, but as
any other commodity by weight. 1t is a
fact that some Of our wodld-be states
men could learn both facts and patriot
ism from their children now at school.

GREAT FALLS has made no formal dec.
l"aration on the silver question. Have
our people no convictions on the ques-
ton? In Utah, Colorado, Nevada and
Idaho meetings to declare the wishes OF
the people are being held in every town
and village. Even in Oregon and Wash
ington the people are alive to the situa-
ton. while in Texas, Kansas, Nebraska
and Iowa there is Il wave of silver senti-
ment which is sweeping rapidly down to
the Atlantic seaboard. Great Falls
should make known the faith that is in
her. and we trust that the men of this
city, and the also, who are in
favor Of bimetallism will respond to the
cali which appears in The TRIBUNE this
morning, in order that a rousing silver
meeting may be held here in tho near
future. This city cannot oirord to let
pass this great opportunity TO make her
voice heard in favor of the white metal.

NOT TOO MUCH SILVER.

The greatest fallacy growing out of
the present silver discussion is the belief
Of many well meaning persons that we
have too much silver, even if it were
given full and free use as well as free
coinage. Few people, if indeed there be
any, can fully comprehend numbers af-
ter the million point is reached, so it
becomes an easy matter for those so dis
posed to assert that we have more silver
than can by any possibility be used as
money.
1t is for the purpose of refuting such
statements and of removing honest fears
from the minds of many real friends Of
silver that we have computed the annual
expenditure of one department of the
government and measured it in silver.
to-wit:
Our government pays out ia pensions
nearly S2OO,O00,O00 u year. Or over 800
600 for every day in the year. Sundays
included. Now let us suppose this i'm.
'i'hoo sum W De paul III silver. ~ silver
dollar weighs ll2l5 grains. There be
ing 1850 grains in one pound avoirdu-
pois, it takes a fraction over j. dollars
to weigh Il pound, each days payment of
100000 would therefore require over
$500 pounds of silver to make one DAYS
payment. Again, Let us suppose the full
mount of n years payment Of pen
sions paid in silver be loaded on drays
carrying 1000 pounds each, and that
each dray he allowed TO occupy four
rods in a train and it will he seen that it
would require a train of drays l2J miles
long to haul the silver required TO pay
the pensions Of our old soldiers for one
year. 1t may still more relieve the fears
OF the timid to add that this amour
represents more than nc.twcntieth Of
all the silver in the world

BRETHREN, TAKE NOTICE.

The brethren will please bear inmind
that In my official capacity as State
Business Agent | am acting directly
under the instruction of the State
Executive Committee. Their instruc-
tiOns are that l shall I'LL orders only
when cash to the full amount of the
bill accompanies each order. except in
cases of County and Sub Business
Agents who have filed in my office a
justified legal bond for double the
amount expected TO be due at any one
time, in which latter case thirty days
from date of bill will be allowed III
which to make remittance for same,
Now it frequently happens thatsome
good brother, not being informed as to
this ruling of the Executive Commit
tee, will ask us to ship goods and he
twill pay for same on receipt Of bill, :"
or when goods arrive
Some times we are asked to ship &c.
0. D." or with sight draft bill lading
attached" We do not like to be placed
in the attitude of refusing, but in either
of the above cases we are compelled to
do so. We have had little experience
in shipping "cOllect." and in nearly
every case it has been unpleasant and
unsatisfactory, some times goods lying
at their destination for weeks before
proper collection and remittance is
made, thus causing dissatisfaction all
around. We feel sure that any brother
who will give this matter a moment
thought will not ask US to violate a
standing rule of the Alliance. You
will see also that it is b. tier to have a
uniform plan for everybody.
1t is always preferable to have your
orders come through your regular
bonded Business Agent, but if you wish
to send them direct, please accompany
each order with cash sufficient to over
the bill. Any balance will be placed
to your credit, OF returned to you as
you may direct.

exactly what amount to remit for each
bill. When you file your bond and
thereby agree to pay all bills within
thirty days from date Of bill, | take 1t
that you mean what you say, n ac'
cordingly ship you goods on your
orders. You know that the Agency
fund is not at our command, and 1t is
a very easy matter to Overdraw our
bank account. The delay of a few
days may seem a small matter to you,
but at the same time it may place n
Agency in an embarrassing situation.
To avoid such a condition, let me IN
sist that you remit promptly according
to provisions of your bond, and do not
overlook small accounts. A single
small amount is not much, but a greaI
number of them amounts to a good
deal. To those good brethren who
send cash with their orders let me say
that it is not always possible for you, or
me, to know in advance just what
your goods will COST, but if you ap-
proach anywhere about the amount,
we ship you the goods expecting you
to remit balance, if any Is due, when
you receive bill. Some Of you are not
as prompt in the payment of these bal
ances as you might be. | do not think
it is Intentional on your part, but you
just neglect it. The brokerage on many
of our goodsis very small-On groceries
one-half to one and a quarter per cent.
Now suppose you buy a barrel of flour
that cost $40, you remit with your
order 81 90. At one per cent the
brokerage to the office would be just
four cents. The first thing we do upon
receiving your order is to receipt you
for the $500. This costs us cent
in postage. Then we place the order
with the mill or wholesale house, which
costs us in postage two cents more.
The -four is shipped and the bill sent to
us. We copy the bill and mail it to
you, which costs us another two cent
stamp-altogether five cents in post
age, Or one cent more than we get.
Now suppose you fail to remit the bal
ance due, or we have to send you state
ment after statement before we get it.
Or supposeyou order is not sufficiently
clear, that you fail to give shipping
directions, or some other necessary in
formation, so that we have to write you
again, don't you see how that the
Agency is losing on the transaction.
This is only an assumed case to illus
trate. OF course there are other goods
on which the Alliance gets a larger
brokerage, and the larger your orders
are, the less is the percentage of eX-
pen5e. Let me urge then that you
make your orders as large as possible,
be explicit in directions and make
prompt remittance.

STANDARD!

We understand that certain local
sewing machine agents are stating to
some Of our members that our sewing
machines are not standard" We
wonder if they could explain what
they meant, if called upon to do 80. Ii
charging $50 or $50 for a sewing ma
chine makes it standard" then our
sewing machines are @ standard, y
but if furnishing a high grade, strictly
first-class machine, with all the latest
improvements and made of the best
material throughout, and guaranteed
to be light running and warranted by
a responsible manufacturer against
defects for 10 years, and shipping to
members with privilege of returning,
if not entirely satisfactory after 10
days trial, and at less than half the
cost of agents price makes a machine
standard, then our Improved Farmers
Alliance machine is standard, with a
big S. We wish to say emphatically
that the Improved Farmers Alliance
machine is made of the very best ma
terial, all bearings wherever advisable
are made of the best steel, case hard
ened, and the machines, if well oiled
and properly handed, will last not 10
years, but a life time.
1t is not the cost of material and
manufacture that brings the retail
price on a sewing machine up to $50 or
$50. 1t is the expensive methods of
selling 4. e., high priced managers
salaries, canvassers, collectors and
agents commissions, etc that make
the price more than double what they
ought to be.
Compare the two methods of hand
ling the sewing machine business, and
any one car readily see that the Ali
ance Business Agency system is de-
cidedly the best for our brethren.

Erat9Fnally,
w. H. WORTH, S. B. /

All goods are shipped at buyers risk,
and carriers act as buyers agents, in
handling them. They are carefully
examined before shipment and found
to be in good condition, and so receipted
for by transportation company. If
they are delivered to you in bad order,
refuse to remove them, and make your
claim for damages against transpOrta-
ton company. Remember that if you
accept goods in bad order you forfeit
all claims against carriers for damages,
and it is very important that you care
fully examine goods before receipting
for them. We are not responsible for
damages to goods in transit, as our re
~sponsibility ceases on delivery of goods

SEWING AGAIN.

To be sure we have the best sewing
machine arrangement in the country.
1t is at any rate one of the most salts
factory features of our work. Our
manufactures of the improved Farm
ers' Alliance, which is 81 justly ,popu-
lar, are a progressive firm, and have
just brought out an Improved High
Arm Singer style machine which is
destined to be a boon to those who
want the best cheap machine on the
market. These machines are equipped
with the modern improvements, IN
Guiding self-setting needle, self thread
ing shuttle, automatic bobbin winder,
head sunken in table, together with
the usual set of attachments; and, like
other machines we handle, are deliv-
cred, freight prepaid, at any railroad
station in North Carolina. See price

THE WHEAT SITUATION.

The wheat trade for the past ten days
has shown some signs of strength, but
the slight advances recorded one day
would generally be lost the next. It
seems to be a hard matter to stimulate
nrices under present conditions. This
IS not to be wondered at when the enor-
nous visible supply is taken into con
siderttion. The first day of 1893 found
the visible supply over 81, 900, 900 bush
els, against A, 600, 600 the first of 1892,
% COO, 600 bushels the first of 1891 and
$4,000, 900 bushels the first of 10 O.. A
comparison of these figures will demon
strate the fact that the wheat market
has a great load to carry. The slight
advances made recently have been due
entirely to a rise in prices in foreign
markets. The advance is due to lighter
receipts in the markets of Europe both
from the United States and other ex-
porting countries. AS the decrease in
exports from this country is undoubt-
edly due to some temporary cause,
there is but little hope of a permanent
advance in the foreign trade on this
account.-NdtiOnGI StOckman.

" would not give mine for it today. I

buying them from agents and mer-
chants, when they can order them of
