Alliance of Farm and Factory.

Recently the Pennsylvania State Fed
Grafton of Labor held a meeting at
Williamsport W. F. Hill, master Of
the state grange, was present as fra
teynal delegate, and resolutions were
adopted looking to the complete per-
lection of an alliance between the
above named organizations. The reso-
lutions pledge the members to vote
only for candidates for Office who will
agree to vote for the establishment Of
the advisory initiative and an advisory
referendum In national affairs. These
two organizations will have an uphill
fight against the Republican machine
in Pennsylvania. While the movement
is nonpartisan, its success in that state
could mean but one thing-the same
thing that happened to the Republican
party in Kansas when the Populist
wave struck it some years ago.

Heavily raised embroidery is consid-

beauty, of soft silks and chiffons, dain-

nine months and twenty-five days OF

lie in the last Republican national plat
form which ran in this wise: "A Demo
cratic tariff has always been fo4DWed
by business adversely, Republican
tariff by business prosperity. OF
course the facts Of history prove that
that statement is utterl! false, but nev-
ertheless it helped them win phe-
nomenal victory. During the entire
campaign they bitterly denied that
there would be a deficiency at the end
of the fiscal year. Now. having won by
false pretenses. they no longer pretend
to deny the deficiency and are looking
around for some way out. But has not

make a plausible case. 1t will not do
to say that the threats we made in our
pls6tfor1n and during the campaign. did
it, Hor the deficiency was here and was
growing before we made the platform
or began the campaign. No, this is
Republican deficiency, forerunner Of
another Republican panic just like the
Republican panics of 1878 and 1898.
This deficiency must be remelied. for.
according to even Republican figuring.
now that the campaign is over at the
present rate there will be an increas-
ing deficiency during President Roosc-
velt's entire four years in the White
House. But how can it be renleIied?
There are only three ways known
among men: First. to reduce cxreni-
lures: second, to levy new taxes: third,
to issue new bonds. Republicans can
not reduce expenditures. After what
they have said about Grover Cleveland
they will not dare to issue new bonds;
hence they must levy new rates and
get a sound beating at the polls for 50
doing.

The power of great corporations. syn
dicates and trusts, frequently welded
against the best interests Of the public.
is beginning to wake up even the most
hidebound Republicans. The St. Louis
Globe-Democrat has been for many
years thick and thin organ Of Repub-
u licanism. and no man or paper can be
a defender of Republicanism without
being G defender Of corporations trusts
and syndicates. 1t seems that the CD.
has been pinched somewhere by a big
corporation growing too rapidly in its
own particular bailiwick. AS remedy
the CD. seems to be thinking Of
Ssadopting the Populistic plan of public
ownership, as is shown by the follow
ing editorial:
1t is fitting that the people of St. Louis
should keep themselves thoroughly in
formed concerning the increasing concen-
tration here Of immense public interests
in the hands of q single corporation.
Whether this movement Is to the advan-
tage or detriment of the city will not be
considered here. The present object is to
let the people know what Is going on. A
corporation organized fifteen years ago
under the laws Of New Jersey, known as
the North American company and SIC
ceedins to what was called the Oregon
and Transcontfnental company. has OBJ
tanned control Of the entire lighting plant
Of st. Louis and also Of the consolidated
street railway system. which includes all
except the Suburban line. The North
American company, which has acquired
by purchase such extensive rights in ST.
Louis, controls the Milwaukee Electric
Railway and Light company, the Edison
Lighting company tn Detroit and also has
large interests of similar kind in Gin
cinnati and its neighboring cities on the
kentucky side, Covfngton and Newport
That the North American company IS
Wnst may be called a huge business COM
bination Is apparent.
E 1t is understood that by a cash invest
ment Of about $75OaeOo the North Amer
lean company has secured the control Of
the entire business of furnishing st. louis
with gas and electric lighting and the
property OF the transit company. The
mcthed pursued IN each case was 70 ppr-
