ALLIANCE TALK. AN OUTSIDER’S OPINION THE GREAT ORDER. He Thinks the Alliance Will be Victorious in 1892. Colonel Joseph K. Kiekev is a legal resi¬ dent of Calloway county, Mo , but his traveling is »•? varied that it may be well said the boundless Continent is his abid ing place. He has for years been at some stage of the Congressional visitor, ses aions at. Washington, always a affecting keeping in touch with the pulse enjoying the the public welfare and eoinpsoionship of the more conspicuous in¬ magnates holding public trust. In an terview on the issues of the day, he has the following to say regarding the Farmers Alliance. On being questioned as to who was the coming man whom the with people will support that is in line the West and Houth on economic questions, the < 'olonel said : “There has come into existence, in the last, year and a half, an organization known as the FAUMKRH ALLIANCE. The reason of this organization was that neither party would take advanced steps toward relieving the agiicuitural circulation, masses in the way of increasing giving the or, in other words, them sufficient money. The republican party has ad¬ hered and continues to adhere to the single standard. The democratic party, embracing New York, Pennsylvania and the. New England states, is equally op¬ posed to th<- double standard. N’ow the fanning and laboring classes of people, believing That they could not get relief from either party, have organized them¬ selves all over the United States into what is known as Alliance orders, 1 am cred¬ itably informed by those who have access to their rolls that there are over 4,000,000 voters now in the organization, confidently and that by 1802 they expect 0,000,000, which is one-half of the entire voting population of the United and Stales. Their principal complaint demand is more money. There, is only so much gold and silver in the world, and only a certain amount can be pro¬ duced. Money is intended as an ex¬ change. It is the duty of the government to provide a sufficiency of money as much as it. its to provide police protection and postal facilities. Now, if we have not siifficient gold and silver as a basis for money, it is the duty of the government think to provide an additional basis. 1 the idea that has been suggested, and which has been presented to the congress of the United Btatea in the shape of a lull by Gov. I,eland Stanford, of Cali fnritin lornui, the uiu most most piacuiai, nnictical sate safe and auu satis- sails factory method suggested ot providing money that has been by any human being. T-hat is, to loan money directly to the people on cultivated land at one half of its assessed value prior to the passage of the act. LAND AND LABOR Arc the basis of all wealth, and as secu¬ rity, land is permanent, imperishable and essential to the production of the necessa¬ ries of life. There will be no more bor¬ rowed than can lie used. If a man bor rows $500 and liu can make no use of it profitably he simply returns it to the gov¬ ernment and cancels his mortgage. It makos a permanent circulation. It reaches all classes for the reason that if the far mer can borrow it it fixes the rate of in terest for the mechanic, for the laboring man, for the merchant and for all classes who are ingaged in the industries. The rate will be absolutely uniform, no violent expansion or contraction. I have no idea that this congress or the next is going to give any relief to the people so fur as the eurren v is concerned. The politician and office-holder are timid and eonserva tlve. I believe that the great mass of CODgrcss to-day recognizes this as the true solution of the financial question, but |n load, all and great not reforms until tlio the people people have have to ex pressed themselves in unmistaken tones will the men v,ho have clung to the Joffer sonian'theories and strict constructionists who do not believe that the government lias a right to relieve its citizens—not un til then will these men now in office re cognize this great fundamental truth. THIS ALTERNATIVE Is in the organization that I hare just spoken of, the Farmers' Alliance, and they will perforce of necessity be com¬ pelled to withdraw their allegiance from both opinion, of the and great of existing parties. In my course it is simply iny individual presidential opinion, the Alliance will nominate a candidate in 1892, and invite all men of both parties who are in sympathy with them to co¬ operate with them, in this I think that it will draw as large a number from both of the parties as will remain iu them, lu other wot da, I believe to-day that one half the Republican party is in sympathy with this movement, as well ns one naif, if not more, of the Democratic party, for the reason that the idea set forth and the aims and purposes of this groat organiza tion are for the relief of the great body politic. * * STANFORD'S BILL. There is no inau in (his country who is better known than Senator Stanford of California. He is a typical American, who began life, like most of his country- men who have distinguished themselves in any walk of life, with nothing but his own native energy and capacity, bv which he has steadily climbed to fortune and to fame. Regarding his bill in advocating the issue of i*aper money based on nothing but the stamp of this government, the Senator, in au interview says: “It would Ik- based on the industries of 05 millions of people, the most indus¬ trious and productive people in the world: upon the vast and impeachable security of real eslate; upon the resources and credit of the government itself. A promise from our government has behind it the entire nation with its immense re¬ sources. in addition to this, under the provisions of my bill, there would be set aside for the redemption of the money loaned a specific porti n of the property of the United States. The government loans its credit and receives two percent, for the use of it, and has for security double the amount of the best security known—real estate. The government is perfectly secure for this reason: If ever the borrower fails to pay the interest and the government forecloses, some one is sure to step forward and take up the mort¬ gage. There is every reason to be¬ lieve that among the neighbors of the original owner none could be found to to allow the property to be sold when \ hey could borrow the money at two per cent to buy it at half its value. The proposition is to loan to any one who has real estate, that is to loan the govern¬ ment credit. The government will not be au operator in real estate. The prop¬ erty' will never be encumbered for more than its value, and if it lias to be taken for foreclosure, some of the neighbors will always be found to take it at the assessed value, since they can raise upon the property at two per cent enough to pay oil the enct.mb irance. It is what gov rnment ought to do, as it is the only power that can make money. Money is a necessity. People will not produce more than is sufficient to supply their own wants, unless they can exchange their surplus for the products of some¬ body else. * * LIVINGSTON’S CIR CLAlt. President Livirgsto.i, of the Georgia Farmers’ Alliance, has published the fol¬ lowing letter: To Whom It May Con CEitN. Insinuations have been made that officials connected with the State Alliance of Georgia would o” should be charged with conduct unbecoming said officials, and such intimations have been standing for some time before tiie public. Now as gia, president and of the State Alliance of order, Geor¬ solely for the good of the both at home and abroad, I insist that for any unbecoming official conduct on the part of any officer or agent of the State Alliance, chirjes be made to the executive of the State Alliance; and for any conduct other than such as the State Alliance has juris* diction over, charges be made before the sub-Alliance to which any officer may be attached. 1 will call the state executive committee notice that together at ready any time be upon charges are to pre sented, anil do all and anything,in my power to have a full, fair and just inves t t lout gut ion ion at the 1 1... inatnuo instance of «nv any wmnn peison o r if the executive committee of the State Alliance disposed is objectionable bring to those who are to charges against any or all the officials of the State Alliance, then I will call the State Alliance together and submit the whole matter to that body. L. F. Livingston, Pres. Ga. F. A. and I. U. ¥ ¥ * Under the he acting,. “The Alliance Will Enter Politics,” The Southern Alliance Farmer says: “The Alliancemen of Georgia and now realize the the fact that of to laws suc¬ ceed, : secure enactment looking to their relief, it is necessary for them to enter the political arena, and elect to office men who are in full and hearty sympathy;with Farmers' their cause. would If we thought the Alliance uot take a hand in politics, and battlo for their rights at the ballot, box,. we would not pen another''line in de¬ tense of the organization—for it would bo a nullity, and accom plish no earthly good. The farmers would still be*opprcsscd and.they by iniquitous and class legislation, could never itide be pendent able to position lift themselves which up is to their tlvat birth right. arid Aside from your duty to your selves to your country, the future welfare and advancement of your chil dron and your children’s children demand that the faimere take the government yf our country into their own hands. Jhey number 70 per cent of the population, and should and will rule by the right of , majority.’’ _* ' . * * President Chase, of the Kansas Farm¬ ers’ Alliance, says: “General Palmer was not our choice for senator from 11 inois. Our choice was Gresham first, Streeter second and Palmer third. \ e expressed our wishes to our friemls iu linois.” THE OLD MAN’S REVENGE. Arsenic and Coffee for His Two Sons-in-Law. a dispatch of Thursday from Mt. Ster Hug, Ky., says: A mob came near lyuch ing the Wigginton family, composed of John Wigginton and his four sons, for ins poisoning sons-in-law, \V. Ferguson of and G. died, C. Watts, and both whom Miss Boyd, a granddaughter of the Fer gusons, who is still in a critical condi tion. The Wiggintous were suspected, and after arrest the boys, the youngest of i whom is only ten years, confessed. Their j father bought tea cents worth of arsenic 1 and sent two of his sons to Ferguson's house. One of them stepped into the kltchen antl P ut tbe arsenic iu the coffee F«t after supper. 1 he next morning the old coffee was used with fresh coffee, and thc wa< * poisoned. The Wiggin tons and Watts had raised tobacco to Pother last year, and there was a dispute between them about the proceeds, and on this account the Wiggintons wanted to exterminate them.___ AU merchants who want to build up their business should advertise in this , paper, as it will pay them to do so. The Perfect Man. The following rules of measurement were used bv the ancient Greek sculptors in modeling a perfect man: the of the From the crown to nape neck is one twelfth the statue of a per¬ fectly formed man. The hand from the wrist to the end of the middle finger is one-tenth of the total height of a man of perfect proportions. good proportions is tall as A man of a’ fin¬ the distance between the tips of his gers when both arms are extended to fuil length. highest point of the The face from the th forehead, where their hair begins, to whole : end of the chin, is one-tenth of the stature of a man of perfect mould. If the face from the roots of the hair to the chin be divided into lliree equal place parts the first divi-ion determines the where the eyebrows should meet, the second the opening of the nostrils, if the man be in perfect form. The proportions of the human figure are six times the length of the right foct. the Whether the form is slender or plump rule holds good on an average. Any deviation from the rule is a departure is from the beauty of proportion. It claimed tgat the Greeks made all their statues according to this rule.

The brusque and fussy im¬ pulse of these days of false impression would rate down all as worthless because one is unworthy. As if there were no motes in sunbeams! Or comets among stars ! Or cataracts in peaceful rivers! Because one remedy pro¬ fesses to do what it never was adapted to do, are all remedies worthless ? Because one doctor lets his patient die, are all humbugs ? It requires a fine eye and a finer brain to discriminate —to draw the differential line. “They say” that Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery and Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip¬ tion have cured thousands. “ They say ” for a weak sys¬ tem there’s nothing better than the “ Discovery,” and that the “ Favorite Prescription ” is the hope of debilitated, feeble women who need a restora¬ tive tonic and bracing nervine.
