knows how long for the senator's
to tell needless colleagues and deaf
walls something of tariff argu
ments which have been exhausted
for years.
If it is true that the people of
the United States transact bust
ness to the amount of "a 1000, 900,
900 in every fairly good year, the
-uncertainti of congre ssio ma
action must have cost $1O,ooo,-
100000 in the past SIX months.
1t is not extravagant to put the
loss at 90 per cent.
That is a er.at deal to stand
from one Congress.
Traie would probably run up t.
Sc 200, 1000, a year if Congress
would conf1ne its labOrs to the
field described in The Constitution.
Trade has done wonders in spite
of government interference, but
the PEOPLE of America are so much
more wonderful than their trade
that nobody can call trade what it
might be.
The country does not ask for a
:peech on tariff. 1t asks f r vote
for an end of uncertainty. 1t
will keep on king until a vote IS
reached in the senate. Stop the
losses and let the profits of trade
beoin r. public.

A RICH RUSSIAN BROTHER

THE WRONG PLACE.
A Couple Who Were Married When
They Had no Need to Do SO.

A Couple Who Were Married When
They Had no Need to Do SO.
A good story is being told of a Penn
Sylvania preacher. One Sunday after
noon a couple called at the parsonage
and in broken English inquired, so the
reverend gentleman understood, if the
preacher ma l" lived there. AND, on
being invited in they commenced pre-
pairing their toilet Of course it was
ST" posed they had come to be married
and every assist nee was given by the
preacher and good wife in getting
ready for the ceremony. The bridal
veil and wreath were carefully adj
justed by the lady, and the gentleman
carefully combed his hair. Then their
nands were joined and the solemn
words were spoken which bind
humans together in wedlock.
The cere .nony over, of course it was
supposed the newly-married couple
would be in haste to depart But it
was not so vi it'll them, and by their
actions they betrayed that they ex-
pected something else before leaving.
Finally the reverend gentleman re-
marked, "WeIl. now you are married :"
and the snswer came. ''Oh, yes, vO
bin married last February, and nov
want unse* oigture daken-" A feather
would har knocke down the preacher
upon the revelation. 1t was the
picture man" they were looking for,
and not the preacher man" How
ever, there can now be no mistake
about their being married. and thai

IMPORTANT NOTICE.

I desire to call the attention of the
members of the Alliance who have
still, notes and,unpaid accounts for fer
tilizer, to the fact that the Durham
Fertilizer Company have been ex-
tremely Ienient with them during the
financial depression, and have waited
on the Alliance people and have car
ried their notes and accounts in a time
when it was extremely inconvenient to
them, and caused them many hard
ships, but they did this with the pur,
pose Of protecting and helping the ALI
ance brethren when they sorely needed
this help. Brethren, you now have
your crops on hand, and while these
products may be very low, you owe 1T
to yourselves, to your Alliance and to
the company, to pay at once all that Is
due for fertilizer. Let me beg you and
insist that you will at once send to the
company any" sums that you may be
due them. They must have this money
to furnish us fertilizer again this spring,
and a payment to them now a
credit to you again in the spring. So
do not delay another day, but send the
money to them at once. This is i'm
portant and must be attended to at
once.
We are going to furnish you the same
high grade goods that we have done
heretofore, and do all we can to accom-

not later than the first day of NOvem-
Der, 1894, you a get a ton Of N. @.
Alliance Official guanO, the guano to
be shipped from any point you may
prefer from which the company ships.
You pay freight on the fertilizer, the
company pays freight on cotton.
No y, bear in mind that the cotton
must be middling, and If it does not
grade up to middling, you will have to
paw the difference between the price OF
middIing and the grade you deliver.
You will also be required to guarantee
the weight of cotton so delivered, or
have it weighed by a sworn weigher at
point of shipment. Of curse your
shipments of cotton must be made &C
cording to direction of the company.
All brethren wishing to avail them
selves of this opportunity, will please
direct their correspondence to Durham

THE EGG
barrus.

DEAR BRETHREN:-The egg market
has fallen very low and losses have oc-
Cured to shippers In four days the
prices fell in Boston and New York 4
cents per dozen and are now quoted at
10 to IL cents. Do not advise any
further shipments North at present.
We have been able to handle here to
better advantage. Our grades are No.
1 for strictly fresh eggs only a few days
old. No. 2 are older but sound eggs.
No. 3 r small eggs and No. 4 are
cracked. We have been getting for
No. L, 12B cents per dozen for No. 3,
III cents; No 3, 8 cents, and No. 4, 8
cents. If our brethren will take pains
as we have advised they should get
only the best price. Of course the
market here is limited but we hope we
can carry these prices through the
summer. Our tester shows every spot
or blemish in the egg, and the age can
be ascertained very nearly if they have
not been subjected to heat above the
usual temperature. Keep your eggs in
a cool place and ship when fresh. No
added OF damaged eggs are offered for
sale.
Good fat hens bring from 9 to 10 cts.
per h., alive, gross. Spring chickens
weighing II to 2 lbs. bring from Is to
20 cts. per h., gross, alive.
