Industrial Free Fiess (Winfield, Kan.)
gives good advice: “Alliance men and
reform thinkers and workers, don’t let
your enthusiasm abate - and grow cold.
You have a work to perform, and to do
it. well needs your whole efforts. No one
can perform this wc i; as successfully as
the man true to tlr. cause. With this
idea in view, work th a will and suc¬
cess will crown you: torts.”
The S uuYporr (fw U.j .Leaner says:
“The cry of haste cannot be justly sus¬
tained aginst the farmer in thus organ¬
izing for his own protection. His steady
allegiance to party, often in the face of
unwise legislation against agricultural in¬
terests. is remarkable. The importance of
the Farmers’ Alliance enmot be lightly
passed over, and the political world is
fa t seeing the wisdom of catering to it.”

To those statesmen who fear that the
sub-treasury plan will enable speculators
to secure possession of products and hold
for a rise, this statement from the Colo¬
rado Worhnan (Pueblo) is referred: “Last
fall and winter the fanners in Kansas
sold their corn for nine cents a bushel or
burned it for fue', but most of the crop
was turned over to the bankers to pay in¬
terest on mortgages. To day corn is
worth fifty cents a bushel in Kansas.
Overproduction is a great blessing to the
farmers.”

The resolutions adopted by nearly all
recent State conventions recommend au
increase in the volume of currency, but
are silent as io the means of getting this
additional currency out of the United
States treasury among the people. There
are but three methods at present: through
national banks, national expenditures, ot
the purchase of national bonds. By which
process is it proposed to distribute this
much needed increase ? It might be well
to consider this portlbn of the system, and
in doing so. the sub-treasury plan is recoin
mended for consideration .—National

Made a Fortune in Frogs’ Leg s.
“About twenty-five years ago,” said an
old attendant in the big Washington Mrr
ket, “several men made fortunes at catch
ing frogs and sending them to market,
The hind legs were cut off, skinrnd,
washed, and. after being mildly salted,
were sent away in barrels. Prices used to
range from fifty to seventy-five cents for
a dozen pairs of legs, and as sales were
quick, tnt;re was a pile of money ia the
occupation. “One old fellow, blacksmith by
a
name of Weld, ( down in Greenbush, Me.,
‘ \ Hed all Q New side England b for ^v8 . ears
H ived bv tbe of very cst
swamps ^ that were filled with wijfgbirs

many of the children car ©d
good wages, even at that small price.
Weld dressed the frogs, corned them
and shipped them to Boston in barrels,
like herrings. He kept up the business
for of thousands years, and, though he slew hundred*
every year, the supply did
not diminish at all.
“By and by the prices went away down,
and, as the old man had cleared about
$100,000 cut of the scheme, he reti ed,
built himself afine mansion, and live lat
his ease. He is the only man I know of
who got rich by catching frogs, but 1 1 ava
heard of several others.”—[Boston G1 bo.
