The overproduction fad getting week#
threadbare. For the pant few
ihe receipt# of all farm pro¬
duets have been “remarkably small,’’
is the way they express it, and prices
have ruled low, yet prices have declin¬
ed. Even the repeal of the Hberman
law and veto of the seignorage bill has
not proven a j anacea. The wheat crop
is 120,000,000 bushels short, and still
the price rules low. The over produc¬

Among tho large number of unem
jibiyed there must be some though
Jirobably a ooinjiaratively small portion
— that are capable of doing farm
work. To such the avenue that leads
sway from dependence upon charity is
now opening and will widen until after
harvest. It would be next to useless,
however, for those who lire not fitted
for this kind of labor to attempt to
secure employment on the farm, It is
common advice that tho city unem¬
ployed should go into the country, but
it is foolish advice so far as thousands
aro concerned. Farm work requires
both knowledge of met adaptability to
the farm. Tho farmer can better af¬
ford to neglect his work and thus suf¬
fer loss than be can to employ incom¬
petent help, — Ex,

Therefore, the class of rep¬

they maintain an organization that

Don’s & Co.’s TRADE Report TOPICS. of Business for |
ths Past Week.
It. G. Dun k Co.’s weekly review of
trade, among other things, says: * •The
strikes begin to barf a serious, though,
it is assumed, only a temporary effect.
The number of works depending upon
supplies of bituminous coal or coke
for fuel is large, and quite a consider¬
able portion of theift has already been
compelled to stop operations. No
doubt the proportion is larger in the
iron and steel mSkunfactures than any
other business, buwi early a third in
capacity of the irotl furnaces at work
a month ago appear to have closed.
Some railroads at the west are embar
sssed, and textile works of Me im¬
portance must soon close unless the
strike ceases. ,
“The movement of so-called armies
of unemployed <fn Washington has
caused little excitofaent, and is less im¬
portant or significant than the outward
movement of specie, which shows a
shrinking of fqri 'gn demand for pro¬
ducts and the further withdrawal of
foreign capital. foreign dis¬
“But neither strikes nor
trust can long retard the progress of
this country. The capacity of iron
furnaces in blast May 1st was 110,210
tons, a decrease oflffi512 tons during
April, but The Iron Age has telegraph¬
ic reports of stoppages by other fur¬
naces having a capacity of 25,092 tons,
including some (kpected to stop this
week, which would mean a decrease of
about a third of production since April
1st.
The textilo manufacturers are not
keeping up in prospect, for while or¬
ders do not increase, uncertainties in
regard to the labor grow more serious.
The working force shows much unwil¬
lingness to accep# which for another season
tho wages were temporarily
adopted in order to have the works re¬
opened after last summer’s suspension.
The apathy of buyers in cottons is re¬
flected in tho farther declines of print
cloths, aithobgh. some qualities of
goods have advanced slightly.
Tho decline of the treasury gold re¬
serve below 894,000,000 suggests the
possibility that continued exports of
the precious metal may cause not a lit¬
tle trouble before the season is over.
But at present the banks are only grat¬
ified, as the accumulation of money
from the interior has not ceased, while
the demands for commercial loans does
not yet enlarge, .i doubled

Burrows auii O. F. Gregory were
elected secretaries, Elaborate papers
on foreign and jhome mission aud Sun¬
day school boards were read by Drs.
Tiehner, Willingham and Bell, corre¬
sponding secretaries of the boards.
Tho majority report of the commit¬
tee on representation in the convention
was submitted by Dr. Folk, of Ten
nessee. After much discussion the re
port was laid on the table. The effect
of tbe report, if adopted, would have
lieen to reduce the representation.
This is a most important question, as
the convention has become so largo as
to make it burdensome on tho com¬
munities in which it meets.
SENSATIONAL TBKACHING.
The pulpits of Dallas and surround¬
ing towns were filled by Baptists Sun¬
day. The convention had no appoint¬
ment for presoldug Bt the great taber¬
nacle, but the overflow of the ehurehes
filled the place to hear Dr. Justin
Dsrlton, of New York, who preached
morning and night, and made his
usual attack on Romanism. He is a
groat preacher, but his views aud
methods are not approved by southern
Baptists. At the same meeting at
night Dr. J. B. Oranfiil, of Texas,
made a very strong speech, in
which ho paid bis resjiects to Gov¬
ernor Northen, by saying that he
would not vote for a Romanist to any
offioe, nor would he vote for any man
who would vote for a Romanist or ap¬
point one to office. Dr. Alex. Mareh
snd, a former Romsu Catholic priest,
who now has charge of the Baptist
church iu El Paso, delivered an ad¬
dress, saying the Roman Catholic
church is s living lie. The convention
had nothing to do with this meeting,
and has in no way, approved of these
utterances.
In the Marion Monday morning, re
port* of committees on the reports of
the foreign mission loar.ls, were dis¬
cussed. Tbe Application of the East

was not accepted. The place of meet¬

REFORM MOVEMENT.
COMMENT CONCERNING AFFAIRS
OF TIIF. PEOPLE’S PARTY.
What Our Exchanges are Saying im
Regard to the Great Crusarle.
Report says instructions have gone
ont from democratic headquarters for
democratic speakers not to meet the
Populists in joint discussion. There
was no necessity for that. They wouldn’t
do it if they were ordered to.
The money power commands 6tate
authorities to break up commonweal
armies. Willing tools sell their souls
ns they sell their votes, and do the bid¬
ding of plutocracy with a deputy sher¬
iff’s badge pinned to them Shame.—
Exchange.
* *
The People’s paity is the only real
democratic party, and it is the only
real republican party. Since both of
the old party organizations are devoted
to the legalization of the robbery of
the many by the few, there is no long¬
er any home for honest men except in
the People's party.
As we have before remarked, the
men who voted to repeal the Sherman
law and then afterward voted for the
seigniorage bill to make themselves
solid with their constituents, are too
late. When their votes would count
they were on the wrong side, and when
they wouldn't count they could afford
to vote that way. The people will not
be duped by any such trickB. — Ex.
There is something funny about the
idea of putting a guard over the Unit¬
ed States treasury to keep the Com
monwealers from looting the pocket
book of Uncle Sam. Rats! Why
wasn’t a guard put over the treasury
when the “Credit Mobilier” gang loot¬
ed the people’s cash to build the Union
Pacific railway? Why wasn’t a guard
put over the treasury to herd off Car¬
negie, Wall street and Rothschild.—
The Hoad.
Reform Literature.
The demand for literature at head¬
quarters is immense. Our congress¬
men have had all their speeches print¬
ed and circulated that they are able to
stand. Most of the people are of tho
opinion that congressmen got their
speeches printed free, but this is a mis¬
take. They have to pay for every one
they send out. Our Populist senators
and representatives have made a large
number of speeches that if circu¬
lated among the people would make
Populist votes by the thousands and
tens of thousands. The national com¬
mittee lies undertaken to furnish these
speeches at cost to the people. An ad¬
vertisement to this effect has been sent
out to our reform papers, nnd it is
very essential that tho people be in¬
formed where and at what prico this
literature must be had. For a very
few dollars a whole county can be sup¬
plied. Everyone should writo to head¬
quarters for price list.
What I’opjtlsm Means.
The success of the People’s party
means:
.Tustico!
Enthronement of right!
Dawn of better times 1
Better prices for production !
Less usury aud less taxation 1
Free coinage of silver nnd $50 per
capital
Government loan of money to tho
people at tho same rate it grants it
to trusts!
A free people, free Bchools, free la¬
bor, free ballot aud an honest count!
The abolition of all manner of false
systems of economics!
Legislation in the interest of tho
masses instead of the classes 1
Opposition to the system of selling
fn n free trade market and buying in a

The fostering of every legitimate

pressive to labor!— Advance..
Letter from Chairman Taubeneek.
Tho last hope for any financial legis¬
lation to tho interest of the people
during the fifty-third congress has been
destroyed by the president’s veto of
the seigniorage bill. Nothing, since
the extra session of congress convened,
is more plain than that concentrated
capital of the cast absolutely controls
both the republican nnd democratic
parties. The latter has abandoned the
interests of the south aud the former
those of the west. For more than
twenty years the democratic party of
the south has tried to secure favorable
legislation for that section by forming
an alliance with the east, but she has
always been deceived, because the
interests of the two sections are dia¬
metrically opposed to each other.
Again, for more than twenty years the
republican party of the west has also
been striving to secure favorable legis¬
lation for that section by following
their party leaders of the east, and
those states have also been deceived,
because the interests of the east and
west antagonize each other. The east
and sooth and the east and west are
drifting farther apart, while the south
and west are drifting closer together.
The new political alignment which is
raipidly forging its way to the front
will unite those sections of our coun¬
try whose interests are identical, which
means that the south aud west must
unite at the ballot box. Self-preser
vation will force them to take this
step; aud that party which will bring
them together is destined to shape
legislation for the next quarter of a
century.
The great issues which can unite
these sections are the free and unlimit¬
ed coinage of both gold and silver at
tbe ratio of 16 to 1, all the paper
money needed in addition tbreto, to
lie issued by the government without
the intervention of banks and made a
full legal tender, and the control and
nationalization of natural monopolies.
The question who shall issue and
control the volume of money is para¬
mount to all others. Shall this bo
done by the banks and for the banka,
or by the people and for the people
who are to use it?
Before the people of the south and
west can secure favorable legislation
for their sections they must abandon
the two old parties and organize

Thus it appears that an investment
of 81.606 iu the country at large gives
employment to 1.65 people, employs while iu
Florida the same investment
3.17, or nearly twice as many. An in¬
vestment of this amount in the whole
country pays 8752.10 in wages, while
iu Florida it p«y»$2,350.29, or nearly
three times as much. In the whole
country it turns out a product of $2,-
179.07, and in Florida a product of
84,808.27, or far more than twice as
much.
These ^itistics also show that while
the average laborer in a cigar or ciga¬
rette factory in the United States gets
only 8156,09 for a year’s work, ho gets
8645.80, or nearly 50 per cent more in
Florida, and turns out a product about
15 per cent more valuable; as tho pro¬
duct por baud iu this country at largo
is 81,321.30 while is Florida it is $1,-
519.66.
Tho census figures also show that in
the entire country the espouse of
manufacturing cigars and cigarettes
was as follows: Wages,844,767,988cost
of material 8-50,298,960; miscellaneous
expenses, 817,673.063, a total of $112,-
740,012. Subtract this amount from
the value of the product ($129,693,-
275) and the remainder will be the net
gain, $16,953,283, on an investment of
$59,517,828, or 28 1-2 per cent.
Florida, however, makes a better
showing, ns follows: Wages, $3,457,-
610; cost of material, $3,237,961 ;
miscellaneous expenses, $603,883; to¬
tal cost, $7,299,454. Subtract this
from the value of the product $8,123,-
220) aud the profit of $823,766 re¬
mains on an investment of $1,686,396,
or 49 per cent.
Of course from this profit must
come the losses on tho bad debts, but
if these losses are no higher in Flor¬
ida than elsewhere in the country, there
would still be a profit of 25 per cent,
here after all profits elsewhere are
wiped out
These figures show why tobacco
factories are springing up all over the
state, and it justifies the prophecy that
Florida will soon become the great to¬
bacco manufacturing state, It is
equally well endowed in advantages for
the tobacco grower. Tobacco is one
of Florida's many mines of wealth
that, when developed, will make the
state one of the richest in the Union.
