sbould fail in five Or six OF the most
non,,lo,s countries on the globe for ten
consecutive a OF course it would
orhanca the value of our American
wheat lands and put up the price of

Now we will ask the Times a ques-
ton: Suppose every country on the
globe except France, Mexico and China,
should demonetize silver9 Wouldn't
that naturally ruin the commercial
value of silver-bring down the price9
Well, that has been accomplished by
degrees by the few gold owners in the
world and today silver is only IS cents
an ounce while it was worth from IS to
81 80 before il was demonetized in so
many countries. Gold being the COM
petitor, is enhanced accordingly, and
today a gold dollar will buy from
81. so to So worth of lands or goods of
any kind in any country except France,
China and Mexico, where values have
not gone down. In those countries
using silver, with the possible excep-
ton of China, which has not recovered
from the recent war with japan, prices
are tending upward, business failures
are hardly known, railroads r being
built, factories running on full time,
and more wanted.
Now contrast America, England and
Germany with the above picture. Bust

DIsGUsTED WITH DEMOCRACY

But now, what of the future? We
have seen the party brought to verge
of ruin and disruption as the
reult of three years of reputation of
Democratic principles by an admins
tration elected by Democratic votes.
The South, which held together in a
solid and determined phalanx for
twenty years against the repeated on
slaughts of the Republican party, has
been broken and dismembered until
it can scarcely be said that there are
three States left which can be counted
as being absolutely and unquestion
ably Democratic West Virginia
crossed the line last year and so did
North Carolina. Tennessee was shaken
it's foundation and CONSERVATION
was spread in the ranks of the party
in every State. Now Kentucky and
Maryland have gone over and unless
there is to be a change in Federal ad-
ministrative policy the end ie not yet
in sight. The people are disheartened,
discouraged, Disguised, but determin-
ed. Tee have been repudiated by those
whom they put in power and they in
turn will repudiate the regulators if
they can receive no response to their
appeals for relief. They are in a mood

WE NERD A WAR.

In conversation with a gentleman
he said that I'VE ought to have a war
in order to kill off the thousands who
had nothing to do and could get moth
ing to do" And this is the 10Th CEN
fury! This is a civilization that has
been nodded by the influence of Chris
tianity and softened by the tenderness
of brotherhood! This is an age that is
brilliant with the power and creations
of accumulated wealth! This is the
country in which millionaires increase
churches and school houses multiply,
and art galleries and libraries and col
leges and inventions grow more num-
erous. And yet, like hungry men
from a ship wreck, it is brutality con-
cluded that we must kill some of our
number that the rest may live. The
idea is monstrous; it is savage; it is
devilish. If in 1900 years the human
ace is yet as near a bar0aric state as
to harbor a thought as horrible as this
man expressed, there IA be no longer
a doubt of the gospel truth of the doc
trine of mans total deprevity. Toe
thought at once ignores, brutally ig,
nores, the teachings Of Jesus Christ
and outrages every lofty sentiment of
the heart. Thai it shoud b, deemed
necessary or advisable to slaughter
thousands, that the Guilds and Van
derbilts and Morgans and Rockefellers
should keep their useless millions and
accumulate more, is a violation of ev.
cry principle of civilization. The AL
mighty, we do not believe, ever Gre
ated men for other men to kill Ia order
that there might be more room on the
earth for greed and plunderers. To a
sparsely settled country like this, not
yet inhabited by one-tenth Of the peo-
pie that it can support, to talk of it's

THE LEASE AGAIN.

The North Carolina Railroad lease is
like unto Banquo's ghost, 1t will not
down. The Southern Railroad Com
pany still holds the scalp, a kind of
souvenir or last slice of the Democratic
party. as it were, and it will continue
to held it unless powerful efforts are
made to declare the lease illegal.
Elk Judge Shenck is a very able law
yer, andhe declares that there is plenty
of law to set the lease aside. He says
the Company is chartered in Virginia
and is only doing business in this State
by comfy" which is another word
for courtesy. We have said repeatedly
that the lease was not only untimely
but illegal, and we see no reason to re-
cede from that position. The people
OF North Carolina, rich and poor, high
and low, own this valuable railroad
property, with the exception of a
small am unit of stock owned by pri
vate stockholders. They should have
a voice in the lease or sale of it. What
ever is done must be done at once. If
a sufficient fund can be secured to pay
for legal aid the lease will be contested.
Those who a contribute are requested
to send the amount to the Secretary of
the State Alliance, Or any other eff ,er
of said organization.

THE FARMERS ALLIANCE
MOVEMENT.

The first organization of the national
farmers alliance and industrial union
in Pennsylvania, was formed in Dup
lin county in 1890. We have to day
$40 organic atoms, extending into fifty
counties, and are growing nicely, hav
ing formed over seventy organic atoms
since our State meeting in December
last, and prospects for many more dur
ing the fall and winter. We have State
organizations in forty States and ter
ritories. I am sure the Alliance is the
coming organization in Pennsylvania,
and is destined to fill a long-felt want
in the way of a compact body Of all
classes of producers, something impos
sible prior to the formation Of the ALI
ance, which recognizes no sect or
creed, no north or south, east or west,
and whose cardinal principles are.
equal rights and exact justice to all
and special favors to none." 1t was
the Alliance that made it possible for
the bringing together of all sections of
our land in one order and under the
same banner, and it has done more to
heal up and obIiterate the ''bloody
chasm" that once existed between the
north and south than all other organ
izations combined.
While the order is strictly non-par-
tisan and non sectarian, yet We believe
in having our members take up and
discuss all matters pertaining to the
welfare of the farm and of the home,
and in all things working for the best
interests of the producers and the
cause of humanity. Through our CO.
operative business system, we arrange
not only that our members may buy
their supplies directly from manufac-
turers, thereby saving the profits of
the many middle men and agents who
have been reaping a harvest of the
farmers in the past, but we also pro-
vide a market whereby they can dis
pose of their surplus products at the
highest market prices. We have life
and fire insurance, safe and sound, and
furnished to our members at cost,
something they can get in no other
way. The fire insurance alone will
add many desirable members to our
ranks, and from present indications,
will double the present membership
in some counties during the coming
year.-W. P. Bricker Secretary, Pa },
in American Agriculturist.
