Wisconsin is one of the few States it
the Union in which the foreign born vot
ers greatly outnumber the American

In the city of Milwaukee the foreign ele

Here is a practical example, as cii.ec
by the New York Witness, of the saving
to the public that would result from s

edits and manufactures them, The booki

Next fall the little Republics of tht

While speaking of the Exposition,
why doesn't New York seize the idea of
a great international naval review in

proper steps were taken, the naval I’ow

send a squadron of some of their finest
vessels to this country. New York has
not got the Pair, but that is no reason
why nothing should be done in this city
to celebrate the discovery of the conti
nent. We should make something of
the event, and do our part in what should
be a National celebration. Our citizens
should organize for this purpose and sub
scribe. Let us have a great art exhibit
or an exhibition of the industries of New
York State in a noble building that will
be a permanent addition to the architec
ture of tho city. In a time of National
rejoicing New Y T ork, tho port at which

The English House of Commons is just
passing a bill to apply the lash to armed
burglars. It is not many years since tho
lash was abolished in the army and navy.
Twenty years ago, when garotte robber
ies were of nightly occurrence in London,
the House of Commons introduced a
similar bill, which passed quickly, and
the lash practically' put a stop to garot
ing. Now that burglars think nothiug
of putting a bullet through auyone who
interferes with them, it will be interest
ing, thinks the New Orleans Tinm-Dem
oerat, to watch their terror of pain when
inflicted on their carcasses. For it is
pain, as the howls of flogged garroters
have often proved to those who pass the
prisons when the operation is on.
Twenty-five lashes are given by two or

A delegation representing the Farmers’
Alliance appeared before the ways and
means committee at Washington Tuesday
morning to advocate the passage of the
bill to create sub-treasuries in different
parts of the country for the reception of
staple crops produced by farmers. The
spokesman was Dr. C. W. Macune, chair
man of the legislative committee of the
Alliance, and editor of the National
Economist, a paper devoted to the objects
of (lie organization. The others present
were \lonzo Wardell, of South Dakota;
Benjamin Terrell, of Texas, national lec
turer; 1.. F. Livingston, president Geor
gia State Alliance; 11. M. Humidicey,
general superintendent colored Alliance,
and J. .1. Rogers, of the Virginia State
Alliance. Iu addition there was present
a number of members of Congress, prin
cipally from tli!' Southern States.
*
* *
Dr. M.ieuiic began his address by de
scribing the depressed state of agriculture
which, he said, was the prime cause of
the trouble in other pursuits. If the ex
Isthig conditions continued, lie warned
the committee that labor would become
desperate and a great revolution would
ensue. History showed that wealth had
always lacked intelligence to meet in time
the necessities of labor, and on its part
labor had never adopted the proper means
to remedy the faults it complained of.
The objects of the Farmers’ Alliance was
mental, social and financial improvement.
At the St Louis convention 2.0(H). 000
farmers had been represented, and they
had proposed the remedy set out in the
out as tne lust step iu tlie right direction.
If it was rudely framed and the idea in
distinctly expressed, they relied upon the
wisdom of the committee to give it the
proper form, but they believed they had
found a remedy for their ills. The farm
ers asked no favors and no class legisla
tion. 1 hey were now suffering from the
latter. They did not ask the enactment
of any unconstitutional measure, but as a
great debtor class, as men who had gone
out in the West after the war and laid the
soil under contribution with borrowed
tnouev, they protested against the con
traction of the currency at a time when
their debts become due, and asked that
the conditions be restored to what they
were when the money was borrowed.
They asked justice, pure and simple.
Dr. Macune was questioned by mem
bers of the committee respecting the de
tails and probable effect of the sub-treas
ury bill. Mr. Bayne wished to know if
one effect, would not he to encourage over
production. Dr. .Macune replied that it
would not, for just as soon as the farm
ers’ calling became more profitable than
others, there would be an influx of men
into that business, which would result in
a reaction and finally the restoration of
an equilibrium. To his mind, no fixed
v olume of currency—no matter how great
—would meet the needs of agriculture.
It wanted an clastic medixm. The farmer
sold his crops in the fall when prices
were the lowest and bought his supplies
betore harvest when prices were highest.
Crops sere marketed in two or three
months of the year, an<l this marketing
annually caused a •great stringency in
money.
Mr. Flower feared that the plan would
lead to banking on live shoats, iron, lead
and silver ore. They were getting along
now in the latter direction at the other
end of the capltol. In time we would
have everything “in nock.” In the
course of ten years, the government would
he nursing children and women working
in the field. The true remedy for the
farmers’ ills was the manufacturers’ plan.
They should regulate production. Raise
only enough produce to meet the people’*
wants, ana thereby get fair prices.
Dr. Macune proceeded to explain the
process proposed to regulate the
issue of produce certificates. He said
that the necessity for excluding
imports of agricultural products was
obvious if the quality of the certificates
was to be preserved. The certificates
would constitute the soundest and best
currency in the world. Probably not one
half of the $50,000,000 appropriation
asked for to put the new machinery in ac
tion would be required, but the sum
should not be absolutely at the minimum,
as in time it would be necessary to extend
the system to include all of the products
of labor not covered by patents. In con
clusion Dr. Macune said that the National
Alliance had not scut out a single printed
petition, and that these petitions and de
mands now pouring in upon congress
were the spontaneous offerings of furmers
of the United States, who were convinced
that they knew what they wanted and
were going to have it.
Mr. Flower said, in commenting upon
the argument, Jhat the farmer would do
well to manugtmis domestic affairs with
out government njterfercnce.
Among the AUianccinen present was
Ben Terrell, the lecturer. Ilesaid: “We
do not trade with any party. We are
more patriots than partisans. We are
tired of sacrificing the. of the peo
ple for party. We have got nothing to
do with the democratic party. We are
in favor of Alliance measures. Where a
state is democratic, we want to elect such
democrats as will work in the interest of
measures promulgated by the Alliance in
convention. Tho republican members of
this order will make the same effort to
send men here who are friends of a party.
Again, a candidate nominated by the Al
liance would be a class candidate, and
therefore would he oouosed,”
The hearing of the Farmers’ Alllanc*
representatives was continued before the
way* and means committee Thursday
morning, Mr, Livingston, national lec
turer of the organization, taking up the
argument. He said that he hail found
much misapprehension in Washington
respecting iho objects of the Alliance.
They had not beset congress, but, as Mr.
Flower hud suggested, they had been at
tending strictly to their own business.
A wrong impression—one without a word
of truth was that the Alliance was clan
destinely seeking to displace the ruling
parties. The farmers had been told that
a proper adjustment of the, tariff and of
the silver question was all. that was
necessary for the fanners’ relief.
The tariff had nothing to do with the
measure recommended by the Alliance.
Tho tariff fixed the price of tho far
mers’ purchases; the sub-treasury bill fixed
the price at which he sold his goods.
The alliance representatives had not been
insolent; at least there was no intention of
being insolent. '1 licy had talked plainly,
straight from the shoulder. They asked,
demanded—he was not sure about the
terms—that congress do what it could to
pass the sub-treasury bill. Fifty-eight
homes—farmers’—had been sold at auc
tion in Connecticut in one day this week.
The fanners wanted relief, and they knew
how to get it. '1 hey had about made up
their minds to let partisan politics alone,
for awhile at least. Representative Cle
ments, of Georgia, had sought to have
the farmers’ lands taken as security in
national banks. Somehow congress had
refused to do it. Tho national bank sys
tem must be broken up. The farmers had
to secure loans at excessive rates of inter
est. There was no justification for that
under God’s broad heavens.
Mr. Fowler asked if a manufacturer
did not have to pay some interest.
Mr. Livingston replied that he did not.
There was difference between watered
stock concerns and the farmer’s real es
tate, yet the latter was made the worst
security in this country. Continuing he
quoted President Lincoln’s peophesy that
corporations would be enthroned; that
the property of tho country would be
concentrated, and that tho republic itself
would be overthrown. Thank God, the
last prediction had not been fulfilled.
But the others had been. One-twentieth
of the people of this country owned
three-fifths of the property. He also
quoted Garfield, Jefferson and Calhoun,
and said that what they had recommended
was what the Alliance asked. If con
gress refus and to approve the sub-treasury
bill plan, then let it remove the restric
tions hedging in the national banking
system. The farmers would care nothing
about trusts and combinations, and the
concentration of money, if they could
hold their crops in the sub-treasury, and
were not compelled, as at present, to sell
them at stated times. lie could thus
escape the speculators. It would be a
God send to this country to pass the sub
treasury bill, for the reason, if for no
other, that there would not be a bucket
shop left in the United States. The day
of’speculation in crops would be done
away with, and the producer and con
sumer would be brought together. It had
been charged that the farmers would form
a trust. It was against the farmer’s nature.
He had to rush his crop to market. If
cotton went up an eighth of a cent every
farmer would be seen hitching up his
team the next morning, lie would be
afraid that onc-eighth of a cent would
get away from him. Then the farmers
would have but a year’s privilege, while
banks had twenty years. This plan was
not held out as a perfect measure. All
legislation was the result of a compro
mise. The gentleman from New York
(Mr. Flower) had predicted that chil
dren would be put to work in ware
houses and women in the fields. The in
terference was that men under the pa
rental government would be too Lazy to
work Mr. Livingston denied that such
a result would follow. Could there be
a government more parental than ours
—parental to banks, he meant. He did
no* favnr parental government. If the
highways were opened to enterprise
and energy, the fame t w ould be satisfied.
But the farmer hail stood around waiting
long enough. He hd to have relief; it
was a ground-hog case. Sixteen millions
would build all toe ware-houses the al
liance wanted. What good were river
and harbor improvements to tho debt
ridden, oppressed fatmer? Never more
than a |iihd of the cotton crop would be
ware-housed. When the certificates issued
on that crop came in they would meet
the needs of the wheat crop, and then the
tobacco crop, mid so on. There would
not be excessive changes in the volume of
currency.
Mr. Flower asked why the ware-houses
were to be used for oats, wheat, corn, to
bacco, and cotton? IVhv not put in the
pot wool, and rice, and cheese, and pork,
etc? •
Mr. Livingston replied that these other
staples were protected by the high tariff—
Bcventy-five ]>cr cent for wool aionc.
Mr. Flower read a table to show that
staple crops had fluctuated more than
fifty per cent within thirty years, and
asked if that did not demonstrate the in
stability of the proposed currency. May
heaven have mercy upon this country
when a thousand millions of currency was
suddenly called in, as it might be under
such fluctuations.
Mr. Livingston replied that the fluctu
ations had been caused by the fact that
th • farmers had been caused by the fact
tout the farmers had been compelled
to sell crops at adverse times—something
the bill proposed to remedy. Iu conclusion,
lie said, that if the committee thought
that a landed basis was best, if they could
not accept the crop basis, let them put it
in. Do something to relieve the farmers.
Report the bill to the house in some
shape, so that it could be acted upon.
Don’t make it a question of or -oi
p ilitics. hut let thoiiiU stand on its merits.
TRADE REVIEW.
BUSINESS OF THE WEEK ENDED SATURDAY
MAY 17, AS REPORTED BY DUN * CO.
R. G. Dun & Co’s weekly trade review
says: The stock market has rushed ahead
until it lias absorbed all the money within
teach, and some signs of reaction appeal
with little selling by foreign holders.
The cotton market is sluggish, for it be
gins to be understood that raw cotton at
the present price cannot he worked intc
goods at the present price. The pros
pects for the next crop are more favor
able and receipts for the week nearly
actual, while reports are much below
those of last year.* The market for iron
is weaker, and the increased production
is a sufficient explanation. The Phila
delphia market is waiting, Pittsburg is
less strong iu tone, and sales of Southern
iron continue to push down prices at New
York, Steel rails have been sold during
the week nt $20.50, and s2l is freely
quoted. The cry of the iron business is
that railroad building does not increase,
though it is estimated that above 5,000
miies may be built this year, and the de
mand for structural iron is cut down by
the of-wsssi/in of the eight-hour-day to
the IV-iamb trndds in many cities. Re
ports are almost uniformly encouraging.
The monetary situation at New York
has not been satisfactory. The treasury
has taken in more money, and now holds
nearly $212,000,000 cash. Mercantile
credits have not been disturbed by the
failure of a firm representing many
“bucket-shops,” and the foreign trade
report is satisfactory, showing au increase
over last year of $4,900,000 in exports for
the half May, more than forty per cent.
But money has been growing closer and
six per cent is now the selling rate, with
every indication that the supply for spec
ulative uses lias been nearly, if not quite,
absorbed by the advance in the market
for securities. Business failures for the
week number, for the United States 191,
and Canada 21; total 212, against 209
last
MILL’B IDEA
OF THE EFFECT OF THE SUB-TREASURY
BILL, IF TASSED
Roger Q. Mills, of Texas, of Texas, has
written a very strong letter in opposition
to the Alliance sub-treasury bill. He re
views the bill and then says if the plan is
once inaugurated, all the products of la
bor will ask to be taken in. “This
measure provides for an annual
expansion of the currency. That
itself would bring incalculable dis
aster to the country, and no class of our
citizens would feel it more severely than
our farmers. When the business of the
country is based on a vacillating paper
circulation, it is exposed all the time to
the perils of speculation, and gambling
in the products of labor, in
which game the working people of
the country are always the losers.”
lie then says it is undemocratic, and he
would prefer to lose his seat rather than
support such a measure. His method of
relieving the farmer is more markets and
a greater demand for their products.
About fifty other congressmen and sena
tors are now preparing letters stating that
they cannot support the bill. Among
them are all of the Georgia men who have
received the question.

A Topeka, Kansas, dispatch says:
For the first time in five years intoxicat

peka. Charles Bahrer, agent for a lead
ing Kansas City wholesale liquor house,
ou Friday, opened up an “original pack
age” shop at 417 Kansas avenue, the
principal street of the city. His stock
consists of a carload of beer in cases con
taining twenty-four bottles each. Before
evening the entire stock had been dis
posed of. Nothing less than a case was
sold in any instance. The unusual sight
of intoxicating liquors attracted many
people to the “original package” shop,
and the sidewalk in front of the place
was crowded all day by people who were
curious to see how it was done. Bahrer
says he has no fear of the state law, and
will hereafter deal in original packages of
