BUILD UP THE ALLIANCE.

That active Alliance work is needed
all amt. The reasons are many, and
are SO we'll known that it is not worth
while to enumerate them every time
a word of admonition is given. There
cannot be cooperation without
thorough organization. No organiza.
ton can be influential unless it is &C
tive, shows strength and determine
ton of purpose.
The Alliance is founded on principles
as solid as a rock. It has many edu-
cational and practical features; it is a
social organization; it is cooperative.
1t is not costly, nor does it require a
great portion OF time to be an active
working member. Every farmer needs
a change of scene now and then, q bit
of rest. An hour or two can be spent
very pleasantly and proitably at an
Alliance meeting two or three times a
month, and the time will not be missed.
Many Sub Alliances are taking on new
life, why not all7

Morton @. Stout, merchant tailor,

Morris Fass, furniture dealer, Nor

BARLEY, Johnson & Co., Louisville,

originated and engratted into the Con-
stitution by the trainers of that instru-
ment, and the people are willing to sac
riice everything to prevent the con.
summation of either of these schemes.
1t is plain then to every one who is
not interested in sacrificing the inter
ests of the producers to the interests of
the spectators that this popular"
loan will have no attraction for the
small investor. The man who has
boarded a small amount of gold and
kept it out of the banks, has done so
for the love he has for the yellow
metal, and three per cent. will hardly
tempt him to part with his treasure as
he will well remember the difficulty
with which he has gotten his present
store together. The truth of the bust
ness is that these stockings full of
gold" throughout the country are
pretty much altogether fairy tales"
and where one of the filled stockings"
does really exist it will only be emp
tied at the menance of starvation or at
the point of the burglars pistol.

"IF THEY THINK BOTH IN DAN
GER"

Mr.. Perry Belmont is very enthu-
siastic over the popular loan" He
says: IF the people of this country
are prepared to make pecuniary sacri-
fees in a war for the Monroe doctrine
it will be nonsense to say they will not
make some sacrifices to support the
credit and sound finance of the gov
eminent now if they think both in
danger"
The whole gist of this question lies
in the eff" of Mr.. Belmont, says the
Richmond Star.
The people do not think the sound
finance of the country is sin danger"
except from Mr.. Cleveland, who is fast
piling up a bonded indebtedness too
burdensome for the taxpayers to
bear.
Mr.. Belmont entirely mistakes the
feeling of the people in this matter.
The Monroe doctrine is a distinctive
American principle, while the financial
measure which Mr.. Cleveland is sac
rifcing the interests of the people to
maintain is a distinctive British plan,
which is being used to destroy the con-
stitutional monetary system estab-
lished and maintained by the fathers
of the American government.
Here is the difference. The British
nation is threatening to override and
set aside the Monroe doctrine, a meas
ure that has been accepted as an
American principle for three fourth OF
a century, and the people are willing
to make any sacrifice to prevent such
action. On the other hand, Mr.,
Cleveland is trying to overthrow the
established American financial plan

A CORN CONTEST.

This paper circulates in the best corn
producing section of the country, and
there are few of our subscribers who
are not corn growers. Every practical
corn grower should take pride in hav-
ing the best r. and the largest O
and we notice that this year there is to.
be a contest as to who will produce the
largest crop Of corn on one acre of land.
The contest is open to all competitors
in any part of North America, and it
is being so extensively advertised that
it is attracting great attention and as
Stunning national Importance. We
would feel gratlfed If one of our sub
scribers should win the prize as the best
corn grower in America (Gha5 would
mean In the world) and therefore we
take pleasure in calling our readers
special attention to the matter. The
prizes amount to a total of $500 in ad
dltIon to which the value of the corn
grown, as seed corn, would be no small
sum, and the reputation of having won
this prize would be worth more to env
man than the best 40 acre farm in this
State. Full particulars in regard to
this contest can be obtained from the
Iowa Seed Co., Des Moines, Iowa. to,
gether with a large, beautifully illus
traGed catalogue of all the best varie-
ties OF seed corn and other kinds of
farm and garden seeds. These cata-
logues are expensive, costing II cents
each, but will be mailed free, provided

Between two fires, as it were. Our de-
linquent subscribers are bothering US.
We want every name on u list cred
tied up to Jan. 1, '97, ard how to &C
complish this is what troubles us just
now. We've written, we've talked,
we've plead, we've begged, yet it seems
our friends give no heed to any of it.
We have made sacrifices, yet only a
few have paid up to Jan. 1, 81. What
course shall we pursue next. Those
who have paid US in advance advise
us to adopt the plan OF stopping a sub
scriber's paper just as soon as his paid
up subscription expires. Those who
haven't paid in advance ask us to bear
with with a while longer. They make
all kinds of nice promises about future
payment, yet we need money. What
are we to do? Will you suggest some
practical plan that will prevail on our
subscribers to pay mp a year in ad
vance. If you can we will pay you
S. 90 for it.

when it is not needed at all, is just as
bad in principle as a syndicate loan,
even if it does appear more decent. All

average citizen cannot purchase them,
no matter how much he desires them
as an investment. To say that it is
patriotic to get things in such a shape
and then call it a popular loan is the
height of absurdity."

THE MIDNIGHT BOND CALL.

MI. Cleveland has written a very In
dignant letter to Senator Gallery, of
Louisiana, which that Senator had ex-
pected to read to the Senate. We
thought that Mr.. Cleveland's skin had
thickened so under the growth Of his
self conceit that it had become as i'm
penatrable as the hide of the rhinosce-
ros, and that assaults from no quar-
ter would be powerful enough to make
him vince, says the Richmond Star.
But the arrows of sarcasm and ridi-
cule hurled at him in the Senate have
at last penetrated a sufficient depth to
make him equirm and cry out. We
are glad to hear this wall. We are
glad to know those who would protect
the people have at last got him on the
run. We suspected that he had be-
gun to become somewhat timorous
when he and his Secretary took the
cover Of midnight darkness on a Sun
day night to rob the people Of another
800, 000, 900. Yes, the people seem at
last to be arousing some dread in the
breast of the great boss, when he hides
away at midnight, and then cries out
against the lash OF the press and rep
resentatives. So obnoxious has be-
come the constant oppression of the
people by the President that even the
gentle muse whose thoughts live in
the realms of love and beauty, of the
good and noble has turned to worm
wood and gall, and a poet in the At
lanta Constitution thus releases a
barbed arrow at n ''strong ruler:
Twas midnight: In his guarded tent
The Boss was dreaming of the hour
When this old c-ountry-money spent,
Should sink in Wall streets power.
He saw before him stacks of bonds
That uttered in the lamplight pale;
And from the ocean to the ponds
He heard the nation wall!
He saw the ships of England float
And groan beneath thtil weight of gold;
Saw Shylock's fingers at the throat
OF Liberty, with steadfast hold.
He heard the poor, taxed totIers cry
Beneath his reckless, iron sway;
, And cOldly passed their pleadings by,
And bartered all their bread away!
An hour passed on: the Boss awoke-
For dreams can never last;
He saw Carlisle in cap and cloak,
All goblin, like, go past.
And in the lamplight burning blue
He saw his shadow fall;
And then, as fast the moments flew,
He heard his henchmen call:
Bonds! for you alters and your fires;
Bonds! flash the message DER the wires,
Bonds! till the grooming land expires
Grover and Wall Street BondsI"
They toiled, like nighthawks, we'll and long
They pushed the country to the wall;
For bonds for bonds was still the soRg,
And England came and gobbled all!

been heard has been highly compli

DEATH cONQUERs.

Mrs. Emma Kinkaid, wife of Thorn
as Kinkaid, died yesterday morning at
8 o'clock.
Last week she was reported as being
very much improved and all had conf
IDENTIFY hoped that she would recover.
But 1t was not to be so and death has
again invaded the home of one of our
best citizens
The deceased is a middle aged wo-
man, the exact age we were unable to
learn, and leaves husband and five
children-two boys and three girls-to
mourn her earthly departure. The
children are all comparatively small,
the youngest being not quite a month
old, and again the sad spectacle of
motherless infant children is visible.
The funeral services take place at
the family residence at o'clock this
morning, the sermon to be preached by
Rev. Spradling. The remains will be
inferred in the cemetery.
The bereaved husband is a son of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. II. kinkaid and a
brother of Charley and Boone Kinkald
and Mrs. A. w. Smith.
The maiden name of the dece ased
was Emma Hunt, and was married
about seven years ago. Her mother,
Mrs. Hunt, resides in the eastern part
of the state, but has been here by the
bedside of her daughter the past week.
The husband, children and relatives
have the heartfelt sympathy of the
community.
