Sewing Machines-There can be no
doubt that the Agency handles the
best machine in the market. For sew
eral years we have been able to de-
liver this machine at any railroad sta
ton in the State at $40 50. By a recent
deal we have made with the manutac-
for 81 less than formerly or for $18 so.
many thousands of dollars on sewing
machines and has been the means of
placing q machine in homes where it
would not have gone but for the price.
In the early part of the year a prize
was offered to the sub agent who
should buy during the year the
largest number of Machines. Who
will take the prize9 There are first,
second and third priZ(s. The year
will not expire till about march 1, '96.
Price List-The readers of this paper
have no doubt noticed the absence of
the Agency Price List. We regret
that it has become necessary to dis
continue its publication through this
medium, but reasons germane 1T to the
best interests of the paper render it
necessary.
THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER has done
much to aid not only the Agency, but
every feature of Alliance work, and N
department has appreciated its efforts
and kindness and energy more sensl-
BILE than has the Agency. We usuper,
true with consent of the management,
a whole page of it's advertising space
for about four years, with no renumer-
alton to the paper except for a few
months during this year when we paid
them meager sum-. No other enter
prise, Or individual, has done for the
Alliance one tenth what THE Pro
GREssIvE FARMER has, and though you
may miss the price list in its weekly
visits, we are sure you will have other
and valuable mater In it's place.
The price list will be published in
some form and mailed as regularly as
possible. Let the brethren not slack
their interest in the Agency. Write
us for prices and for any information.
The Agency is ever ready to exert its
best efforts to serve you.
At the meantime rally to The Pro
GREssIVE FARMER. Every Sub Al
lance should have at least one of it's
members to act as agent for ito re
ceive, collect and forward subscrip
lions, renewals and back dues. If you
owe the paper anything pay it.
"MHny o. micEle makes o. mUckle."
While yOWr dues may be large, thou
sands of such may amount TO thou
sands of dollars, and these dollars The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER needs and should
have.

DEMANDS FOR PROTECTION.
English Agricultural Party's Attacks on
Free Trade Policy.

LONDON, December LIN addition to the
financial disorder. which has been the fist
feature of the trouble, there is one phase of
the reception of the war scare here which
deserves special attention not only in Eng
land but in the United States. The alarming
reports circulated have been seized upon by
the agricultural party as II Justification for
the demands which they have recently made
upon the government for II change in the
policy of Great Britain from free trade
to protection. Mr.. James Lowther, NJ. p,
leader of tho Protection party, indicates this
i'll letter printed in the Times, and showing
the grave condition in which Great Britain
would be if her food supplies from America
were stepped. Mr.. Lowther points out that
fifty per cent. of the British food imports
come from the United States, and he there
fore asks that British agriculture beprotected
i'll order to make this country as Independent
as possible of American food supplies.
Fears are expressed that the war scare will
materially assist the agitation for protection
against American food imports although the
Statist today gives utterance to Il grave
warning to the public not to be frightened
into supporting import duties upon wheat.
In spite of such warnings, however, there il
little doubt that the agitation here in favor
OF protection has been and will be further
greatly strengthened by the bellicose utter
anccS on both sides OF the Atlantic. and, with
strong Conservative government in office
it is now thought that some measure for the
