Faulkner County Wheel (Conway, Ark.)
says: “When the party papers cry pa¬
ternalism against the farmers' demands,
it ^equivalent to saying the people ar<r
net capable of ruling themselves, aud
must not be trusted. Our present gov¬
ernment is simply a government of cor¬
porations. How long will the people
submit to them?”
Turon (Khd.) Headlight says: “Fai-
mers are often prone to be jealous ol
eaA other, and many seem by to prefer equally tc
be led bv a lawyer than an
brilliant man of fhelr own calling. grand Tin
Allianc<?*has accomplished jealousies which results have
in eradicating engendered the in the by,
been years gone
but work there in this is still direction. opportunity Fanners for more must
learn to trust each other.

The Southern Farmers' Alliance (At¬
lanta. Ga.) says: “We hope the brethren
in this state will not have to use any but
cotton bagging this year. The State Ex¬
change has filed orders for an immense
amount to be shipped to the farmers in
every portion of the state, and stiff have
a contract for more than a million yards,
which are unsold, This shows yon.
brethren, bow the Exchange has been
providing for you when some of the order
were endeavoring to find fault with it.
* *
Tie Union , Henderson, Ky., says:
“Some merchants have an idea that tho
Farmers and Laborers’ Union desire to
make war on them. This is not the ease.
We have no quarrel with any legitimate
business. Indeed, we are ready to lend a
helping hand to any man or class that are
trying to earn an honest living in a legit¬
imate way. We only desire to protect
ourselves against an unjust combination
of capital, and to educate ourselves in the
principles of be economical able to understand government, mat¬ so
that we may
ters of public interest and to vote intelli¬
gently for such measures as w ill promo: e
the public welfare.”

The success of the Alliance in
out sectionalism lins been most happily
illustrated in President L. L. Polk’s tour
throughout the north and west. Al¬
though heralded by the subsidized press
as a rebel brigadier and ns leading a re¬
form that was threatening the perpetuity
of the Republican party, yet he has met
with unusual kindness, and immense
crowds have gathered If the at every south meeting and to
hear bim speak. west
would drop New York and New- England, good,
and join forces for the common
t>'<- problem that now confronts this gov¬
ernment would be solved at once.—
National Economist.
**«
The State Alliances in nearly »11 the
states convene during the month of Au¬
gust, and brethren who have been elected
delegate at the recent meetings of the
County Alliances, Wheels or Unions,
should begin to ponder upon the duties
and responsibilities devolving upon them.
Th'i’ have been chosen to represent the
farmers of the country in a legislative
cupacity, meeting and they will go to the state
with expenses paid and a fair
remuneration allowed them for the time
employed. They are under a very strong
moral obligation, havintr accepted
t ie trust, to go and stay until the busi¬
ness is all transacted. It is too com¬
mon for brethren to begin applying
to be excused, that they may go home on
the second day, and each day the number
increases. Nothing much can be done in
a body of one huudred members on the
first day but organize, and nearly all the
uuwise and extravagant legislation that
has been enacted can be traced to the last
day of the session, when members were
in a hurry to get through. A delegate's
duty to his constituents is imperative that
he make his arrangements before going,
s>> that he can and will stay as long us
their interests demand that he should. It
is a good plan for the State body when
first convened to pass an order that no
delegate diem who will does be paid remain his mileage until the and per
not so*
sion closes.
TRADE REVIEW
A8 SET FORTH BY DUN & CO, FOR TUB
PAST WEEK.
R. G. Dun’s review for the week ended
Saturday, August 2, is as follows: As
the new supply of silver notes is the chicl
reliance, at present, to compensate foi
the outgo of gold, the offers and action
of the treasury on them will be awaited
with interest. On account of the South
American disturbances, the demand foi
gold is likely to continue, and the state
of foreign promise trade is not such at present as
to an early arrest of the move¬
ment.
The merchandise imports are very
heavy, for four weeks at New York hav¬
ing exceeded iast year’s by 23 per cent,
or $8,000,000; and yet the month’s im¬
ports last year were about $71,800,000.
But the exports from New York for the
four weeks have been $2,220,000 less
than last year, or nearly 9 per cent, and
the month’s exports Inst jear from all
ports were but $72,228,219. These facts
indicate a very heavy excess of imports
for July. The cotton exports for
July have been about 18,000
bales more thnn last year and
the exports of wheat nnd flour have of
late been checked by high prices, but for
the month show a gain. The prices of
commodities tend steadily upward, with
the exception of an abundance of money,
and have risen half of one percent during
the week, and this movement, if pro¬
longed, will tend to cause shipments of
gold instead of products. of trade almost uni¬
The accounts are
formly satisfactory, but in parts of the
west there is much apprehension, and al¬
ready some depression in business, be¬
cause of the injury to crops by drought
and extreme heat. The iron business ap¬
pears rather more confident. The demand
for bar iron is now very satisfactory, for
plates active, and for structural iron and
wrought pipe unusually heavy, while the
sheet mills are crowded. Business fail¬
ures throughout the country during the
last week number for the United States
167, and for Canada 22. For the corres¬
ponding week last year the figures were
191 failures for the United States and 19
in Canada.
WIND AND HAIL
GET IN SOMF. DESTRUCTIVE WORK IN MIN¬
NESOTA—LOSS NEARLY $150,000.
A dispatch from New Richmond.
Minn., sHys: The most terrific wind and
bail storm ever experienced here visited
this section about 11.30 Sunday forenoon.
The windows cm the west and north side
of every building in the village and for
miles ou either side in the country were

wide, and about ten miles long. All un¬
cut grain in its path is a total ioss. Hail,

inches. The lose is estimated at from
$75,000 to $150.000.
