ANrl-IMpERIALISr PRONUNCIAMENTO.

The Anti-Imperialist League of Boston has
issued stirring pronunciamento, through its
president, Ex-Governor Boutwell,. We quote
the most important part of the article:
"The league is now carrying on the contest,
and will continue to carry it on, upon the be-
lief that the president of the United States
especially is responsible for the war, and that
President Mckinley, at any moment, or the
United States, acting through him, or through
a successor, can bring the war to an end. 1t
is our purpose to aid in bringing the war to an
end, and, in advance, we reject any and all
schemes of compromise.
"Our information and experience justify the
opinion that the body of anti-imperialists the
country over will disregard the claims of dem
ocratic questions, subordnating them, one and
all, to the single purpose of comprehens
public policy--the purpose to bring the army
of the United States out of the Philippine Is
lands with the least possible delay, and, with
out delay, to recognize inhabitants OF the
Philippines, of Cuba and Porto Rico the right
of self-government, agreeable to the principles
of the Declaration of Independence, and as
pledge of permanent policy of the United
States"
It should be borne in mind that this league
is composed mainly of Republicans. These
Republicans are opposed to Mckinley and his
policy, and they will fight him to the bitter
end. The anti-imperialists are gaining in MI
inerical strength, and have already grown in
numbers to such an extent that already several
states are irretrievably lost to Mckinley. Fur
thermore, it will not mend matters to defeat
Mckinley in the convention SO long as his pol
icy is adhered to by the party. 1t simply
means the defeat of the Republicans by big
majority. It means that from one to two mil
lion Republicans will vote against the imperial
list ticket. Prominent among the anti-imperial'
lists are the German-Americans and the Irish
Americans-and that means something.
Republicans are doomed to defeat in 1900

FARMERS TRUST"

A farmers organization, known as "The
Farmers Federation of the Mississippi Valley"
has been chartered under the laws of Kansas,
Walter N. Allen being the originator. He is
also the president and manager.
The plan of the federation is to control the
prices of corn and wheat, and protect the farm
ers against spectators.
The idea embodied in the plan of this feder-
alton is not new, but was advanced by Mr..
Allen when the Farmers Alliance was in its
prime, and it was endorsed by that organiza-
ton. Although it has since been dormant, Mr..
Allen has been perfecting his plans, and there
is now probability of success. 1t will be
watched with more than usual interest

The New Danger.

Some parties that were prone to rdcule the
calamity howler" in the days of Cleveland
and hard times are showing disposition TO
take to the cave of gloom themselves. For
instance, this from the St. Louis Post Dispatch:
"When the antitrust delegates come togeth-
er in Chicago and st. Louis, let them keep in
mind the fact that the people are confronted
with the monopolization of meat and coal.
"Meat and coal! Think what this means.
We must have meat and coal. The man who
could lay his hand on these two necessaries Of
life and place an embargo OH them, would
wiring cry of horror and rage from the entire
country.
"Yet, we are told that these two things, on
which the very existence of the people rests,
are in the power of few men, noted for moth
ing but greed. Prices are going up. That
means hunger and cold. 1t means starvation
and death, prefaced by untold misery.
"rhe meat and coal trusts have us by the
throat. When people realize this they will
sweep all the confusing argument about COM
bines not being trusts and about trusts being
good thing to the winds.
"rhe meetings to discuss this problem are
III ONE ntous. Monopoly has its grip on the
people How shall it be loosened? is the qnes-
tom
The moral of this is that the "caamty-
howler' should not be condemned without
hearing. He rarely breaks forth without rea-
son, even though it may he exaggerated in his
imagination. The language of the Post
Dispatch does not differ materially from that of
the Omaha platform of 1892. Perhaps there
was as much reason to "view with alarm" then
as there is now. When the attention of the
people is called to a danger, they usually nves-
tigate, and if it is found to be real, apply
remedy, and it doesn't matter whether they are
aroused by political convention or by news

Cure for Typhoid Fever.

Mrs. ]. H. Rosenberger, of 161 Jefferson
street. Tiffin, Ohio, was sick for several weeks
with typhoid fever, and he doctors gave her
up-sad she could not live. A lady present
when the doctors retired suggested novel
remedy. 1t was to secure young, half-grown
chicken, remove the entrailS and divide the
chicken into two parts (leaving the feathers on),
each part to be applied to one OF the PATIENTS
feet, and 1t would draw out all the poison from
the fever-srrcken body.
Willing to do anything to save his wife, Mr..
Rosenberger had the suggestion carried out.
After the first application, it was found that
the chicken became perfectly green with the
poison. A second, third, fourth and fifth APP
picatonS were made in the same manner
Each time the application was made, it was
found that diminished effect was made on the
fowl until the fifth application there was no
perceptble difference on the chickens he sh,
and the lady's temperature became normal, and
a speedy recovery followed. Mr. Rosenberger
is one of Tiffins most respected citizens, and
the truth of the experiment is attested by 9th.

Boston, Feb. 1.-The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter tomorrow will say:
The wool market has, on the whole, shown
more improved tone during the past
week. Prices as yet have shown no ad-
vance, 1t is true, but firmer feeling pre-
walls and there has been more business
transacted. The cause of the improve
ment was the report of an advance in
the price of heavyweights by a leading
worsted mill and the possibility that a
further advance would be sestablished on
these goods next week. The bullish feel
ing is intensified also by the course of the
London sales, at which prices have ad-
yanced about 20 per cent. on some lines
of cross-breds and fully per cent. on me-
rinos.
The month of January was disappont-
ing one. The volume of business transact
ed was considerably less than last year.
The sales amounted to 17,SS2,O0O pounds.
as compared with 23610,000 pounds in 1898.
The sales of the week in Boston amount
to 3,396000 pounds domestic and TO 900

Chicago, Feb. 1-Comparative firmness

here yesterday, gave wheat good start.
The weather throughout t.ie winter wheat

said to be for the most part bare of snow.
some apprehension under such conditions
was unavoidable. May opened hMAc
higher at 74a4M75c and as there was dis
position on the part of some shorts to

signs of recuperation in the local market
soon disappeared under the discouraging
weakness of the New York market while

advance over yesterdays closing price.
New York did not recover more than Nc.
AS the heavy shorts who had sold May
wheat from around roc showed no incl-
nation to cover on the early advance, the
market was left without support as soon
as few of the more moderate operators
had taken what profit the improvement.

wheat loaded down the market with Of
ferings and May declined quickly to 7SMc.
That figure brought May within the limit

enough buying to send May up to 1890

good shipping demand strengthened corn.
