The National Economist says: “Asa
proof of the fact that the present conflict
of the Alliance is an old one, one that
has often been presented for solution be¬
fore, and one which has ever been the
concern by, of the the reader philanthropists referred in times
gone is to Pro¬
verbs xxiii.-7. Read it.”

Texas has organized a State Citizens’
Alliance similar to that in Kansas, and
with the Farmers’ Alliance it expec;s to
control future elections in the interest of
the tillers of the soil and the laboring
classes generally. Other states are ex-
pected to form similar organizations and
unite in a national presidential campaign.

The Alliance Economist (Texarkana,
Ark.) says: “This is no time for flinch¬
ing upon the part of the members of the
Alliance. The issue has been laid down
by the National body, and the demands
made clearly and emphatically. Those
persons who cannot support them had as
well get out of the way, as the Alliance
will take no back step, but press forward
to victory.”
***
Huron (S. Dakota) Independent says:
“The farmers know exactly what they
want. Their demands are well known
to everybody. The politicians questions are busy
trying to side track them on
not germain in this issue.. If the farmers
keep their faces set in the right direc¬
tion, always taking their cue from the
Oca 1 a demands, the politicians will have
a happy t me fooling them. They realize
they have been fooled, and since discus¬
sion has opened their <yes, it makes them
less susceptible to what th“y say.”

ance thus referred to the co-operative
work of the order: The .Alliance stores
for supplies are a prominent feature of
their work. These stores contain the
germ id a of the great industrial co-
oper-.tive societies of workingmen in
Great Britain. They are asserting in
the principle, that it is.better for men to
fight each other than against one another,
They are learning the secret of associated
power—that in union there is strength.
*** '
The Alliance Leader (Bolivar, N. Y ,)
sav-: “Experience h:is taught us that at
this last el ction that Alliance men could
be elected without its being done upon
an independent ticket since of the thirty-
eight Alliance representatives elected,
but seven Avere elected in that way, so
14,292 in his hands. Any Allianceman
in i>e good standing losing a horse this rr mule
tu allowed fifty dollars from fund;
or in case of sickmss or misfortune be
permitted to draw out not over fifty dol-
iars for his relief. This i3 the substance,
Avitbout the details, of the proposed
plan. It is suggested as an experiment
and if successful would probably be ex-
panded and improved upon and made a
permanent institution of the Alliance.
'

* * (Nashville) ...
The Tennem farmer , . says:
“The farmers organisations of the coun
try have brought the politicians to realizt
the fact that the farmer may and
probably be an important factor in
why form a new party when the very
men whom we desire should occupy the
legislative seats can be and are being
elected on the old party tickets. All
ti at we demand is legislation for the
producer and we care not from what
source it comes so we get it. So let us
again say that the Alliance is not a polit¬
ical party, and should not be so consid¬
ered.”
***
There are 2,246 sub-Alliances in Geor¬
gia, and it is suggested in the Southern
Alliance Farmer that each one pay in
two dollars to the editor of that paper as
• relief fund. This done there would be
lortunes of the office-seeking fraternity,
and it would be amusing if it were not
ridiculous to note with what zeal these
aspiring back statesmen pat the farmer on the
and declare their over shadowing
interest in him and his calling. The
purpose and genius of the Farmers’ Alii*
ance is all right—if developed in its true
spirit it is bound to produce a wonderful
revolution. Its existence is a necessity,
and the scope of its work is as wide and
patriotic as is the farming and commercial
world.

™ The state , , of , Ohio , has had , ,
a law
exempting all manufactured articles from
axation for one year. This was a special
prn liege granted to capital employed in
manufacture which was not given to
farmers or laborers, and of course called
for attention by the Alliance, To ex-
empt manufactured goods from taxation
one year was to totally ,, exempt ihem, , for
the manufanufacturer seldom keeps his
pioducts in hand a whole year. The
State farmers Alliance of Ohio, JTta.re-
cent session, passed resolutions demand¬
ing of the Ohio legislature a repeal of
this law. The demand was wired to the
legislature one day, and by the following
night the law was repealed. This shows
the power of our organization, and the
great necessity of a proper use of that
power .—Southern Alliance Farmrr.

The election of Hon. W. A. Peffer as
senator from Kansas was a signal victory
for Alliance unity. Seventeen good names
were put before the Alliance caucus,
and after each ballot the name receiving
least votes was dropped. This plan'
finally brought a .majority of the body to
Judge Peffer, and made him the nominee.
Next day the legislative ballot showed
that every Allianceman stuck to his
colors. The new Senator received 96
votes in the House, to 23 for Ingalls and
5 for Blair. In the senate Ingalls received
35, Peffer 2, 3 scattered. This decided
majority on joint ballot proves that the
Alliance can poll its full vote for princi¬
ple in Kansas. Judge Paffer is nearly 60
years old, an accomplished journalist and
a radical reasoner and writer upon eco¬
nomic questions. He will make his mark
in his new sphere of action .—National
Economist,

The Cotton Plant , (Orangeburg, S. C.,)
hits the nail squarely on the head when
it says: “The Alliance is seeking to
make the rich man pay his proportion of
the taxes. It is seeking to pay up the
bonds that have almost ruined the people
and nation! It is seeking to forthwith
reduce the salaries of officials to an equal
of other salaries and prices. It is seek¬
ing to make it possible for a poor man
to get money as cheaply as any banker
can get it. It is seeking to break the
speculator’s corner in grain and pork.
It is seeking to have the government
issue all money in sufficient quantity to
do the business of the country. It is
seeking to watch the Congress from the
people’s side for the next twenty-five
years. It'secks to make a profit in farm¬
ing and industry as well as in money
lending. intends It attacks the him giant monopoly his
and to follow to over¬
throw. The Alliance demands great
things—things that monopo'y always said
was impossible, and is buckling the on its
armor none too soon to save over¬
throw of a great republic. It is march¬
ing on, demanding justice where justice
ha3 been unknown . The farmer and la¬
borer who take this stranger in will find
the best friend they have known in
twenty-five years.”
LAID TO REST.
Burial of Secretary Windom at
Washington,
The national capital was truly a city of
mourning Monday. The executive de-
partments and their various branches were
closed all day, and congress did not as-
se mble till 2 o’clock. Flags on the white
house and all the other public buildings
we re displayed at half-mast, and so were
those of the hotels and other business
es ablishments throughout the city. These
honors were paid to the memory of the
late Secretary Windom, who was stricken
down in the full tide of his usefulness on
the 29th ult.
There was an air of genuine and univer-
sa l mourning throughout the whole city
and streets in the vicinity of the church
wheie the last rites were performed, and
along the route taken by the funeral pro-
cession were crowded with men, women
and children who stood in respectful si¬
lence, many of them with bared heads,
as the mournful cortege passed. The
funeral Avas simple in character and
without the least attempt at display or
ostentation. The only semblance to mil-
itarv honors was the presence of sixteen
members of the treasury branch of the
national guard of the district. They
acted as body bearers and marched be-
hind the hearse on its journey to the
cemetery. There never was, however, a
la rger purely civic funeral in the city of
Washington, and it strikingly evidenced
the people’s great love and esteem for the
de4d statesman,

The senate met at 11 o'clock Friday.
After prayer by the chaplain the journal
of Thursday was read, and Mr. Morrill
rose, and in a voice tremulous with
emotion, Said* “In consequence of the
yecent the calamity which has visited us in
sudden decease of a former eminent
piember of this body and a distinguished
officer of the government—the secretary
of the treasury—*I move that the senate
do now adjourn.” The motion was

In the senate, Saturday, Mr.
presented two resolutions of the house of
representatives in the Illinois legislature.
sa ^ J he / instructed the senators
termed in the resolution. He regarded
those reso lutions, he said, as in the nature
c f petitions, and asked that they be tiled

so ordered, Mr. Blair, rising to a personal
explanation, said that he had observed,

circulated, that he had been in favor of

ther statement that amendments were
made to that bill in committee whenever
he asked to have them made, was also
incorrect; and that the statement that he

rectly or indirectly, was incorrect,
senate met at 2 o’clock p. m. Mon-
day . Mr . Turpie introduced a joint
resolution, which was referred to the
committee on judiciary, proposing an
amendment to the constitution for the
election of United States Senators by the
direct vote of the people of the several
states. The fortification appropriation
bill was then taken up. An amendment
reported by the committee to reduce the
appropriation for guns and mortar bat¬
teries for the defense of the harbors of
Boston, Roads New York, San Francisco, Hamp¬
ton and Washington from $1,000,-
000 to $750,000, gave rise to a discussion,
Mr. Dolph opposing the amendment and
speaking at much length on the necessity
of a gun factory on the Pacific coast.
Messrs. Cockrell, Hawley, Allen and
Plumb took part in the discussion, Mr.
Cockrell favored the amendment, and
regretted that the proposed reduction
was not greater. defenses He regarded a system
of coast (which would involve
an outlay of $125,000,000) as utterly
worthless and an absolute waste of money.
Isolated as the United States
was, it could resist the com-

HOUSE.
Monday being suspension day in the
house, the speaker announced that the
unfinished business was the senate bill
for the relief of sufferers by the wreck of
the United States steamer, Tallapoosa,
and on roll call the house refused to sus¬
pend the rules and pass the bill, Mr.
Walker, of Massachusetts, moved to
suspend the rules and pass the senate bill
making and additional appropriation of
$150,000 to continue the work on the
public building at Worcester, Mass. In
the course of the debate, of Mr. Rogers, of
Arkansas, getting complained action his lack the of suc¬ Hot
cess in upon
Springs public building bill, and Mr.
Breckinridge, of Kentucky, referred to
the strong existing suspicion that there
was a building ring which controlled all
appropriations for public buildings. Mr.
Spinola took advantage of the recogni¬
tion to renew his appeal for the
passage of the bill providing for the
erection of a monument to the victims
of British prison ships, The
bill was passed—yeas, passed, 138; nays, motion 55.
The senate bill was on
of Mr. Edmunds, of Virginia, for the
erection of a public amendment building limiting at Roanoke, the

cost to $75,000. On motion of Mr. Mc¬
Kinley, a bill was passed amending sec¬

REPORT OF BUSINESS
For the Week Just Ended by
Dunn Sc Co.
It. G. Dunn & Co.’s weekly review ol
trade says: Business continues unprece¬
charactcr^being dented fn volume and satisfactory in
larger than in any other
year at this season. The tone in com¬
mercial circles throughout the country is
hopeful, and money nearly markets all are points. now
comparatively The uncertainty easy regarding at the
monetary
future causes some hesitation, especially
as to new undertakings, but there is un¬
derneath an abiding confidence that in
the fertile genius of the people and tha
measureless resources of the country will
meet every difficulty. So strong i& this
feeling that it is often hard to realize
that the pressure and anxiety of Novem¬
ber and December lasted until within
thirty days. But there are some grounds
for caution still.
The dry goods trade is, on the whole, and
very satisfactory for the season,
while buying is conservative both in cot¬
ton and woolens, and prices are low
enough to embarrass some branches of
production, trade is clearly on a more
healthy basis, as well as larger in inereasing volume,
than it was a year ago. The
demand for wool, though still confined
to that actual needs for consumption, proves do
current prices, low as they are,
not arrest production. Trade in boots
and shoes and leather is somewhat re¬
tarded by the monetary uncertainty.
The embarrassment in iron and steel
manufacture trade is now clearly per¬
ceived to be the resu ! t of the marked
shrinkage jn demands for consumption.
Accounts from southern cities indicate
only a fair trade, with an improvement
