TRY the Alliance PLAN.

EDITOR ADVOCATE In 1891 the
farmers of Kansas guarded against
being miHrepresented by legislators by
sending an escort along to keep tab on
the member from each district and see
to it that he kept his promises to the
people. No one complained after the
session Of 1891 that the House was un-
true to the interests Of the people who
elected It's members, The idea has
occurred to the writer, an old Alliance
man, that good results might be se-
cured from another trial of this exper.
lment In the event of special session,
Something must be done, it seems, to
keep small minority of the POpulist
members in line. Districts which are
being misrepresented might with profit
send along reliable man or two to
keep watch and report on the broken
promises to constituents. It evident
that several districts elected members
who need watching and need to be re-
minded quite often Of their campaign
pledges to the people.

deal from q variety of sources about
keeping our money at home. Admit.

as often emsnstes from those who
have some selfish object to promote,
like the protective tariff advocate, and
who never urges it on other occasions
where it would apply with still greater
force and propriety. Take two exam
pies; one applicable to the State and
neighborhOod, and the other to the
Nation. The Topeka Capital recently
and very properly declared that "it is

What Do POpulists Wantl

EDITOR ADvooATE:-It seems to me
that, in view of the fact that there is a
diversity of opinion among our leaders
as to the desires of the people on many
State questions, Populist county con-
ventions this fall should include In the
resolutions adopted their ideas on the
State issues which have been brought
prominently before the people since
the last election. Let these resolutions
be carefully considered. Let every
delegate take particular care that he
knows what he is voting for when he
approves or opposes any resolution that
may be presented. If county cOnVen-
tlons will do this, it will have a ten
dency to clear up the atmosphere and
remove doubts as to the position Of the
people on State questions.

terest Of the whole people, yet we are
opposed to legislating against one class
Of monopolists when the benefit will
not be shared by the whole people, but
which will ultimately be absorbed by
another class Of monopolists.
"The monopoly enjoyed by owners
of railroads over men engaged in the
average pursuits of life, arises from
the fact that they have the exclusive
right to the use of narrow but CON
tinu0us strip Of land from one State
through another, including terminals.
On account Of the presence and indus.
try of the people slOng this narrow
right.of-wsy, the owners, by investing
one dollar of real capital, can charge
rates that will enable them to pay div
idends on four dollars, three Of which
are land values or what Is commonly
called 'fTsnchises.' Now to leglslate
against this sort OF lsndIordism is sim
ply to legislate in favor Of the coal
lords, mineral lords, oil lords and all
other landlords and speculatoTs Of land,
When we remember the fact so often
mentioned just before election, that 10
per cent. of the people own 80 per cent.
OF all the land values In our country;
when we remember the fact that we
have over 80 million landIess people, IL
is clearly seen who will be benefited by
reducing freight rates one.hslf or three
fourths. 1t should not be forgotten
that we have 10000 Iandless men In
our own State, and 80 million unCulti-
waited acres of land, Many Of these
men do not receive an income Of over
$3.50 year, from which they are COM
PEELED to rear family. Would rail
road legislation raise their wages
penny dayp Would IL give to the
tenant farmer one buahel more corn
per acreP These are some Of tho facts
that men In high places should take
into consideration, We prate much
about equal rights, but show poor iudg
ment In carrying the doctrine out.
Legislate equally against sll mOnopo-
lies and special privileges by making
all pay just tax on the value Of the
monopoly or special privilege, whether
the owner Is using or holding 1t idle,
Exempt from taxation all improve
ments and wealth produced by labor,
Then you encourage the production of
wealth and raise wages by making idle
land easier to get
ut is not the speed we make In re-
form, but the direction we may take,
that will crown our etforta with sue
cess. We should do first things Hrst.

US all poor; and then calculate Che
amount for twenty years that we have
been mulcted In this manner, and you
won't wonder at our impoverished con-
ditiOn. Therefore / have sometimes
wished McNRll would succeed In driv-
inV these leeches entirely out Of the
State and force its people and govern
ment to do their own insuring.
One of the chief virtues Of q protec-
tive tariff loudly exploited by It's adVo
Gates is, thst it will keep our money at
home and render us independent Of
other nations. And yet these very ad-
vocates and the party that fathers that
policy are foremost In bonding US to
foreign peoples and ever active in
nursing the public credit go as to faCil'
ltate foreign loans and Investments,
and thus promote that end. AS a re-
suit our country Is annually drained OF
500 or 600 million dollars to meet inter.
est on money borrowed Of the English
and Germans, and the profits on for
eiRn investments In our mines, brew
cries, Touring mills, railroads and

ment) says we pay annually to a for
eign merchant marine for conducting
our ocean cOmmerCe-thst is, our ex'
ports and imports are all carried in
foreign bottoms with very slight ex'
ception.
But, repeat, our statesmen OF the
Republican persuasion, and many
Democrats recreant to the traditions of
the party and their duty to the COM
mon people, seem beset with mania
to promote foreign indebtedness, the
interest on which is to be paid IN gold
increased In value and purchasing
power at least one half since the de-
monstizstiOn Of silver, and we under
lings whoOp it up, though 1t must
inevitably end in our financial prOstra'
tion aud ruin. John Sherman, Cleve'
land g. Co. seemed welded to and
enlisted in the interest of foreign
bondholders and investors as IL they
were their special agents and attorneys,
and were not at all concerned about
the tremendous burden forced on US on
account of American securities held
abroad. TO the ordinary man 1t looks
like insanity, as 1t places our people In
the same category with those of Ireland
and India, who labor and toll and suf'
fer and starVe for the benefit Of a for
eign sristocracy who are utterly
Indifferent to their condition. L re-

AS showing the views Of Single
Takers on the railroad rate question,
the following letter to the EmpOria
Times by r.. I, Snediker, Hartford,
Kss,, is reprinted
"It would seem that Governor Leedy
and the representatives of Nebraska,
Texas aud Oklahoma, In order to &C.
cure lower freight rates to the South
and Southern ports, lay much stress on
building North and South railway by
these various States, II lower freight
rates cannot otherwise be obtained.
"But, do Governor Leedy and the
other representatives of cheaper rates
take into consideration who would de.
rive the benehtP is it not true that II
such a line were built, and rates on
corn from points accessible to the road
were reduced from 10 cents per bushel
(the present rate to cents per bushel,
1t would only create a boom In land
along said line Of cheap transportation,
and what the user Of the land gained
In decrease in freight charges he would
ultimately lose in increased land val
ues? That is, the farmer would have
to pay more to get to use land.
"Not many years ago the rate on
corn from Chicago to New York was
AZ cents per bushel; the last few years,
13 and IA cents per bushel, Have farm
wages increased In the States Of ILL
nois aud Indiana. But land values
have gone up. What che user Of land
has gained in lower freight charges, he
has lost In ground rent. This law Of
rent is true In all civilized nations.
Some foreign governments own and
operate the railroads at the lowest pos
sible cost, yet we find the share Of
wealth going to the producer Is no
larger in such countries than where
railroads are owned by private individ-
uals. Nearly every civilized nation on
the earth except the United States
owns and operates the telegraph, and
messages are delivered In one.fourth
the time and at about one-thlrd the
rate charged in this country But are
wages higher In those countries than
they are hereP Certainly not. Cheap
ened transportation and communica-
ton is simply another means of
increasing the productive power OF
labor. 1t intensides the use of land
and land values rise and absorb all the
products Of labor except miserable
poor living,

SOME FANCY BORDERS.

The flooring is more effective than any
carpet or rug and can be readily kept in
a high state of polish.
Parquetry is of two kinds, solid and
veneered. The former is made of sep
arate pieces of thick wood Joined by
tongue and groove, the latter of thin
strips or blocks of wood glued on n
paneied backing of hard wood. From
this it will be seen that all fancy wood
floors needa foundation floor of cheaper
wood, and that this necessarily makes
their use slightly expensive, although
il. the long run they more than repay
one for th' original expense. &c be-
gin with, tney are handsome enough TO
require little if any covering in the way
Of rugs, then the two tloorings deaden
sound to great degree, and, lastly,
tic in appearance that one cannot help
but be converted to their use.
A complete flooring is illustrated, as
are some borders. 1t consists of a
combination of oak and mahogany,
with border of cnk, mahogany and
maple. The border is an intricate and
effective Grecian pattern, in which the
different woods are used to shade with
the delicacy of painting. This floor
ing can be laid TO fit any room. Par
quetry should never be cleaned with
warm water, for it will cause the pieces
of wood TO warp and separate and will
also affect the polish.-Chicago Chrcn-

DAIRY EXPERIMENTS.
Results of Recent Tests Conducted at the

Results of Recent Tests Conducted at the
Indiana Station.
If cream is to be secured by setting
milk, the best plan will be to set the
milk in round tin cans, about is inches
deep and eight inches in diameter. If
the can is placed in ice water or cold
spring water, to the height of the milk
in the can, the conditions for cream
separation will be greatly improved,
especially if inside a refrigerator or
creamer. This method helps keep the
milk at uniform temperature and en-
ables the cream to rise to best advan-
tage. Such cans as these, open at the
top, are commonly known as "shot
gun" cans, and may be bought of dairy
supply houses or can be made by any
good timer.
These deep cans are SKINNED in one
OF two ways-either ny conical skim
mer from the surface or by means of a
faucet or valve at the bottom of the can,
where the skim milk is drawn off. In
experiments at the Indiana station, in
comparing these two methods of skim
ming where the milk was SKINNED
from above there was an average loss
about twice rs great as in that skinned
by drawing off from below. During is
days in February the average loss from
surface sbimming was o.34 per cent,
while that Skinned from below
showed loss of but OH per cent

The most beautiful of all floors is the
wood mosaic. This, as it's name i'm
plies, consists of number of small
pieces of wood stood on end. They are
joined by a strip of lead which holds
each block in place. Sometimes the
wood is all of one kind, but set with the
grain running different ways. Other
designs consist of two or more con-
trasting woods, laid so as to form pat
terms of the most elaborate description.

CHILDREN AND FLOWERS.
Why the Keeping of Small Garden Is n
Precious Bit of Training.

Why the Keeping of IA Small Garden Is u
Precious Bit of Training.
1t is n sad reflection to me to see how
many children there are who have NO
real love of flowers. They may be at
tracted by pretty and fragrant bios
so-ss, all children are that, but as for
cultivating and giving the tender care
that plants require, and thus learning
some of the sweetest lessons in life, they
know nothing, and all about them are
acres of untitled soil.
The keeping of bit of garden, if only
"A few feet of earth, nay, if only a few
pots in n sunny window, is valuable bit
of training, and cannot fail to inspire
love of the beautiful that will hav..
an important influence on the charac-
ter throughout life.
1t should be remembered that exam
pie is the first element to be considered
in educating the childish mind. Do not
try and force child to keep bit of
garden, but keep one yourself. Sow
seeds and plant slips, and spend spare
moments caring for them, and water
night and morning, and always hav.
your child with you; be talllative and
wax enthusiastic, never mind whether
you are understood or not, it will not
be long before the child will initiate
you, and want garden of its own, and
when this is brought about, you may
rest assured you have sown II seed in
the childish heart that will grow to a
blossoming of great beauty. - N. Y.

TOBACCO Tea for Plants.

This is one of the safest and best of
insecticides for the home grower. To
be sure it is tritie easier to use to-
bacco in the pulverized form, spraying
the plants first, and then busting the
fine tobacco over the foliage. But it is
usually necessary to allow the dust to
remain for some hours (or even days,
at times), and the effect is most untidy,
not to say undecorative. Besides, the
young foliage of some few plants suf-
fers from such an application. The
decoction is much safer, and, as it may
remain on the foliage until the next
shower bath, it gives heightened pro-
lection. If aphides are not present on
other plants of the collection, a single
application of this tobacco spray will
sometimes protect carnations from au-
tumn until the warmer breath of spring
gives the insects new vigor and rein
forced numbers.--AmericanG Gardening.
