"Can / be of any use to you, auntY'
asked the large youth, framing himself in
the open doorway.
"Not the slightest" painted the en-
ragged lady. "There, you low blackguard
that will teach you to be impertinent to
a lady"
The cabman looked helplessly about
him with bewildered, questioning gaze,
as one to whom alone of all men this un-
heard of and extraordinary thing had
happened. Then rubbing his head he
mounted slowly onto the box and drove
away with an uptossed hand appealing
to the universe. The lady smoothed down
her dress, pushed back her hair under
her little felt hat and strobe in through
the hall door, which was closed behind
her, AS with whisl1 her short skirts van
ished into the darkness the two specta-
tors-Miss Bertha and Miss Monica Will
iams-sat looking at each other in
speechless amazement. For so years they
had peeped through that little window
and across that trim garden, but never
yet had such sight as this come to con-
found them.

"Now's" Currency Plan.

Our sprightly little contemporary, which
means 10 hurry up matters, as its name
indicates, has financial plan of its own
which it proposes TO ''defend against all
com+rs."
NOw TINS describes its plan: ''Any person
holding unincumbered real estate to be
permitted to register his holding with the
government at an apprised valuation not to
exceed the assessed value for purposes of
taxation. Upon such registered holdings of
real estate, the owner may at any time bor-
row of the government. greenbacks to half
the amount of said apprised valuation, pay
ing the government one per cent for each
year, or fraction thereof. TIE person OBJ
tanning this money of the government to be
at any time. II is clear that by this plan
there will always be enough money 10 tran
sact business and no more. 1T supply is
short registered holders of real estate will
borrow of the government and reloan to
those who are not holders of real estate
The moment there proves to be redundancy
or surplus it will be returned to the
government"
When brother Now has more maturely
considered this plan we think he will with
draw the challenge to criticise it and the
plan too. The same objection of class leg
islation is against it which is urged against
national banks. They alone can borrow of
the government on U. S. bonds and loan to
those who have no bonds. The bond holder
is only changed for the land holder. But
when the real estate holder has borrowed
his quota from the government, what then
He may loan the ''greenbacks" to his less
fortunate neighhor at high rate of interest.
That is what The national bank does. And
here the parallel stops. Another distrib-
uting agent is necessary. The second Dor
rover of the money must have depository
where he can place his money till he can
use it. And he wants to distribute it to,
perhaps dozen or mole points remote from
each other, and to settle sundry bills owing
to many persons. There is but one way by
which this distribution Of money can be
effected, without mourning great expense
and even risk, and that is by the machinery
of banks. NOw does not appear to contem-
plate any such plan of distribution.
If Now's plan goes no further than laid
down, other parties must supplement it,
which would be the same banks at present
in existence. or similar corporations. The
banks would receive this land currency on
deposit as soon as it left first hands, and
things would drive along as at present.
The money would be manipulated and
cornered as it is now.
| Not0's plan Is all right as far as it goes
bnt there is not enough of it. Let the gov
ernment establish the distributing agents,
the banks, and loan money TO ali who can
furnish the required security for its return
when the loan Is due. This stops class
legislation and the government bank which
receives the peoples money on deposit, and
loans and discounts as all banks do, but in
variably at one per cent or less, would kill
usury-hgh rates of interest-and put an
end to panics or money scares. A moments
reflection, brother NOw, will show your plan
is not we'll digested.

Turkeys and Want.

Turkeys are reported very pleoti
full this season. The city markets are
glutted. We apprehend the turkey
crop is not above the average, but
the buyers are reduced far below the
average. No money to spend for
Thanksgiving turkeys, and there
will be less to invest in tue Christmas
turkey. Some of the sentimental,
so called religious papers, which try
to extract sunshine from cucumbers
say the people ought to be thankful
that times and conditions are no
worse. In place of being thankful
for misery it would be- immensely
more sensible in using the common
sense which the Almighty has en-
dowed them with in trying to make
conditions better. The whole infer
nal distress is caused by the class
laws which the foolish people have
allowed to be fastened upon them
selves, and lot of goody goody
people tell them to thank God be
cause times are no worse with them

The Alliance.

The Alliance has reached another period
in its somewhat checkered career, when, if
wisely conducted, it will take on a new lease
of life and begin another rapid growth. Any
organization that could survive the schemes
and treachery it has for the past FIVE years
must be possessed of certain inherent prin-
ciples of virtue and right that will in the
ultimate prevail. 1t has passed through
that fraud, corruption and plundering that
seems TO be the lot of all such organizations,
and now stands ready for future usefulness.
1t had the courage TO slough off a venal and
corrupt national organ whose sole object was
the aggrandlzement and profit of one indi-
yidual. 1t has driven in disgrace from
power and evil those controlling factors in
merchandise of the order through treachery
and fraud. Beyond all this, bad as il may
appear, it has disclosed strength sufficient to
force from its stronghold an uDconscionable
syndicate that claimed and actually assumed
dictatorial powers over the organization for
their own personal gain.
Having happily ridded itself Of these
several hindrances that have banged about
it like destroyi ing incubus, the Alliance is
now free TO cheese its future by the light of
past bitter experience.
1t should first purge itself of all traitorous
members in most summary manner and
then begin again its regular persistent labor
of education. The Alliance press is now
in splendid condition for an effective prop
uganda, and will no doubt respond vigor-
ously to call TO action. The coming year
should be devoted to a united educational
effort in which every point should be
strained to make it positive, aggressive and
effectual.
The Alliance is equipped with all the
necessary machinery for such an undertake
Jog. 1t should be supported in this endeavor
by every loyal, earnest reformer. Alliance
newspapers should be literally subscribed
for and the literature of the order given
wide distribution. In this ii should receive
the assistance of every member of the Peo-
pies Party. The Alliance is the school
where just economic doctrines are taught and

ship may be always found.-National Watch.

Farmers, Think,

As 100000 600 acres are now en-
ployed in growing staple crops it fol-
lows that the power of the farmer to
purchase, is this year 81 $50, 900, 900
less than it would be If he was re-
ceiving the prices of l866-'70 for his
great staples. If the prices now re-
ceived in the farm market equaled
those received from 1871 to 1875 the
farmer would this year be able to
spend $1,450.000,000 more for manu-
features and other commodities than
he will be able to spend at prices at
present level.
If prices now equaled the average
of those obtained from 1875 to 1880
the purchasing power of the farmers
would this J ear be augmented by
$76S, 100000.
Should the crops Of 1898 give
average yields and the prices equal
those current from 1881 to 1885 the
farmer purchasing power would be
$645 100000 greater than with pre-
sent prices.
Even with prices as low as those
prevailing from 1886 to 1890 the
farmers of the United States would
have $356,000 900 to their debt paw
ing and purchasing power in 1898
and like advances on all products OF
the farm would create an ample fund
for building aud general improve
