ALLIANCE TALKS.
NEWS OF THE ORDER FROM
ALL SECTIONS.
Items of Interest to Alliance
men Everywhere.
rjlESIDEJfT POLK TH TMKVIKWED.
Presidc nt Polk, of the National F*r
mars’Alliance, was interviewed by ' x>
Atlanta Cm citation a few days ago and
talked freely of the Alliance its pro
oif^eing n queVtu>ncd n as U b)'the* progress
of the movement in those states which
he h«d just organized, President Polk
said: “Tie state organizations, which
we hsre effected in Iowa, Ohio and New
York, have been made up of the very
best material, and iis an indie it on of the
spirit which actunten those people, the
Htate Alliance of Iowa, before it a<l
journed, commissioned and equipped be
t w<*en forty and fifty men, and started
ilrvHd. fro in
nu ll up of rst a>> and tery euthust
-sue material. I find among them the
very same complaint that I find all over
the country the scarcity of money, which
gives them no price for their products.
1 he ■ e>iv ih. of diversifying crops in those
local it ic arc Uitmtary to large mar
kets a........... access, with an idea to
making it profitable, is exp’oded as is
provi n l,y the abandoned farms of Marsa
.'tusetts and other portions of New Eng
land, and the mortgage 1 farms of New
York. New Jei ev eiiL'ht to be the
richest «:ate in America to-day and yet
land all over that state has depreciated
from i!U to 50 per cent, in the last few
years. In Ohio, win n I v as there not
long since, Governor Campbell said that
the lands of Ohio had depreciated in
value $8,000,000 in the past ten ypars.”
“How will the alliance affect the pol
ideal relations of the agricultural
classes?”
“In my judgment this movement ought
think to eclipse all others with the farmers. I
that if the fanner is true to him¬
self, to his country and to his family, he
ought to subordinate all other political
questions to this movement.
“Wlmt will bo the effect of a failure
to agree to the farmers’ demands?”
“That will bo the great propelling
power which will drive the farmer into
the third party. If their just claims
and just demands for s mply nothing
ni«>rc than their just rights bo ignored
by other parties, no power on earth cau
keep the farmer out of a third party.
That g Gy judgment. They have reach*
ed a point where they must have relief,
aad I think that they have determined
that they will have it. I think that it
was unfortunate that the present parties
did not pay more attention to the np
penl.s of the Ainerionn farmers in the
fifty first congress. Wo are hoping for
something from the fifty-second.
“What is the most pressing question
before thc people?”
“We want the next congress to devise
some system,and to so change thc present
fmanaial system of the government as to
furnish the country with an abundance
of currency to supply the legitimate de¬
mands of thu business of the country,
which we cannot get so long ns the cur¬
rency of tho cvumtiy is controlled by a
few men. I think that this is tHe para¬
mount question.
“Silver legislation would bo a step in
tho right direction, but we do not bo
liove that free and unlimited coinago
would giro us all that is needed. We
want it, however, and are going to de¬
mand it. Wo are solid for that, and 1 do
not believe that there is a man belonging
to the industrial classes of tho country
who will support any ticket that does not
stand solidly on the platform of unlimited
free silver coinage.”
On the presidential question President
Folk is of the dpinion that the Alliance
w ill not be controlled by either the dem¬
ocratic or republican parties.
“What about thc third party conven¬
tion in Cincinnati?”
“My idea of it is this: It is called
avow edly for the purpose of considering
a third party movement. Of course, the
order, as an organization, can have noth¬
ing to do with it. There will he, doubt¬
less, allianecmon in that convention—a
sufficient number at least, if they commit
any errors, to have the enemies of the
alliance attribute it to thc order. I am,
therefore, in favor of jzood, conservative
men belonging to the order being present
in that convention, with a view to keep¬
ing them from committing any rasli act,
or doing anything premature, If it
does anything at all, in my judgment, it
should simply refer the whole situation
to the people in their primary and sov¬
ereign capacity. In other words, I do
not think that the conference would be
justified in sustaining or formulating
anything except a conservative and pa¬
triotic address to thc people.”
“In tvw many states have vou now
efficient organizations?’ *
“Our jurisdiction extends to thirty-six
states. They are organizing very rapidly
on the Pacific coast. Twentv-nincof the
fifty counties of California have organ
fat'd, with a membership of 3D,000. Hicy
are organizing very rapidly in the slates
of Washington and Oregon. We lnve
no st-ite organization in Delaware or New
Jersey, and some of the vounger states
that have lately been admitted into the
union are without state organizations.”
“What progress is the sulur.usury idea
making?”
“The more that subject is discussed,
the more the people think about ir, the
more it grows upon them. We have
been anxious from the beginning to have
it discussed, and have challenged discus
sion. But no one has yet come forward
t > answ er our arguments. I have seen it
stated that a mijority of thc people in
some of the southern states are opposed
to it. My own opinion is that of in the no
southern state is there a majority
laconic on nosed to it Winn I sav the
people. I do not mean the alliancemen
alone, hut tin people. I have heard that
in Mississippi Senator George has been
forced to take the stump against it, and
what the result will be the election only

man says wo want
communism is mistaken, and wo
are not after arraying one class against

in circulation. That wid make prices go
up and money easier to get. There is
another thing I want to tell you. In
1873 our national debt was $4,000,000,
000. We have paid over $2,000,000,000
of it, but mi account of the shrinkage of
labor it will now take more to pay the
balance than it would have taken origi¬
nally to have paid it all. The general
increase >n wealth has been about 4^ per
and cent. have Capitalists get 8 per cent, but you
I to pay from 12 to 50. The
men of large means are getting all of the
money, those of small means losing all.”
THE ItEFORM FUESS.
The recent meeting held in Waco,
Texas, marks the introduction of a new
system in the educational work of the
Farmers’ Alliance. The regular annual
sessions of thc different fcstato Alliances
ore business m i tines. The reports of
all officers and committees must be re¬
ceived, considered and acted upon.
Amendments and changes in the organic
and statutory laws must at each annual
se-sion be carefully considered, fully dis
eu sod and enacted. Officers are elected
and a large amount of work pertaining to
the State organization and the regulation
of county and district organizations dis
posed of. Perhaps no meeting ever held
m the State of Texas ever has been pro
ductive of as much good as this one will
be. Each delegate was encouraged by
tho reports from all other sections, and
all dissensions and personalities was sub
ordinated to the discussion and consider
atiou of economic questions that promised
relief to the depress d condition of
agriculture.

Dispatches . of Sunday from Ashland,
Wisconsin, state that iore.-tfins prevail
throughout the northern portion of thc
State, and Michigan, and immense dam
a$e has already been done 'to standing
t mber and logs that are awaiting driving,
Omaha trainmen report the woods all

and the same condition exists along the
line of the Wisconsin Central and Lake

soon, the fires will prove more disastrous

A d spatch of Tuesday from Pembina,
YVis., states that forest fires have broken
out along the line of the Soo road, be¬
tween that place and Hermupsville, and
are burning with a vigor that bodes no
good to the cedar interest unless rain de¬
scends very soon. A line of fire can be
seen from the railroad which burns as
far north as the eye can reach, and, from
the immense volume of smoke which
arises, it is plain to see that the fire runs
back a longdistance north of the railroad.
Another dispatch of Tuesday says:
Over 4,000 acres of valuable timber lauds
arc aflame within a radius of seven miles
of Huntington, Pa., and in distant parts
of the county woodland is being swept
away to an alarming extent. Mountain
fires are beyond all human control, and
can only be extinguished by a rainfall.
The farmers in the whole burning dis¬
trict have sustained irreparable loss to
fencing,and hundreds of acres of growing
grain have been ruined.
Telegrams from White Cloud, Mich.,
state that Five upper townships in that
county have been a surging sea of fire
ever s lice Sunday, and it is believed that
not a single one of the small hamlets is
left. Fields Station, with its four saw
mills and general store, is no more, and
300 people who lived there Sunday are
now without home or roof to cover their
heads. Otea, or Dingman, as it is known
to the postal authorites, is but a collec
tion of smoking ruins with 200 people
who call the place home, standing around
in despair. Park Citv, in Lincoln town
ship, went out in fire* and smoke Tues
day morning. Nothing is left of the
cluster of small houses that marked the
place. Lil!v Station is hardly worth the
name of a station, as only a small hotel
aud a smaller railroad station is left to
mark the town site. Freight cars with
outnumber, and logging trains, melted
awav into ashes on the tr cks where thev
stood awaiting their loads of lumber. ’
The news of Tuesday from Bellefonte,
Pa , ia to the effect that the damage done
bv the forest fires that have been raging
throughout the county has been some
thing enormous. All along Buffalo Run
Railroad, throughout every patch of tim
ber, the fire has raged, burning miles and
miles of fence, orchards, valuable stand
j n g and cut timber. A number of log
giug camps have been completely de
stroyed. The fires still continue to rage
unabated fury in many places not vet
burned over, it being a hopeless task to
them. The loss will run into hun
d re j s of thousands of dollars.

“ I have used your preparation

for seven or eight years. It is con¬

it the best remedy for Indigestion,
Indigestion, and Constipation we
have ever used or
known. My wife is
troubled with Dyspepsia, and at
times suffers very much after eating.
The August Flower, however, re¬
lieves the difficulty. My wife fre¬
quently says to me when I am going
to town, ‘We are out
Constipation of August Flower,
and I think you had
better get another bottle. ’ I am also
troubled with Indigestion, and when¬
ever I am, I take one o’* two u-,t
spoonfuls before eating, for a day or
