Ohio oleomargarine men want natural
butter inspected, claiming that three
fourths of it isn’t as good as oleomar
garine.
Within the past thirty years, estimates
the Atlanta Constitution, the population
of our cities and towns has increased 251
per cent., from 5,000,000 to 13,000,000,
while the rural population has increased
less than one-third as rapidly, or about
seventy per cent.
At the recent convention of street-car
men in St. Louis, Mo., it was shown by
statistics, avers the New York World,
that after fifteen fares have been rung
up on an ordinary horse car all the re
mainder of the money taken in for that
trip is profit for the company.
There are 5000 Indians still living om
reservations in New York. They are civ
ilized, well educated and never give
anybody any trouble. The same is true
of the Cherokees in the Indian Territory.
The Indians of the Northwest and far
Southwest give us more trouble than all
of the others.
• Ttte New York Mail and Express al¬
leges that one of the great railroad cor¬
porations paid $300,000 last year for
towing car floats around the harbor. The
Stnount paid by the five great trunk lines
would equal the interest on $30,000,000
—enough to construct two or three
and tunnels.
nn The T United — -i. a cj± States i opened a this year „„„
with 167,255 miles of railway in opera¬
tion—enough, boasts the Cincinnati En¬
quirer, to go around the globe seven.
Smes, and enough to reach more than two
thirds of the way to the moon. If it
■were all in a continuous line, and in ab¬
solutely perfect condition, it would take
our fastest express train six months to run
over it.
Wn.ii repaid .i udfuitiuj, wiio can
wonder, asks the St. Louis Republic, at
the increase there of socialism in view¬
ing facts like these: In Saxony 73.51
per cent, of the population have an in¬
come of less than $200 a year; and of
this number 45.49 per cent., are
wretchedly poor, having an income of
less than $125 per annum. The middle
class embraces 23.47. Even these have
less than $820 a year. Only 0.60 pos¬
sess over $2400 per annum.
America is credited with many labor
saving devices, but there are some of
English origin, acknowledges the Boston
Transcript, that throw our best into the
shade. One c-f these—for the benefit of
authors—is described in an English con¬
temporary. There are persons, it says,
“gifted with no faculty of writing, who
for a small sum are prepared to contrive
you all the involutions and evolutions of
a story, with a full complement of heroes,
villains, lovers, heavy fathers, scheming
mothers, and all the rest of it.”
Captain J. M. Johnson, now a practic¬
ing lawyer at Kendall, Kan., tells an in¬
cident of the battle in which Custer was
killed. He and Colonel Myers, com¬
manding a troop, were riding on the
charge when they saw a squaw prone
upon the frozen ground dead, aud be¬
side her a four or five year old babe cry¬
ing and begging her to arise. Taking
pity on the papoose the Colonel ordered
the First Sergeant to dismount and se
cure the youngster. He did so, and
turning to the Colonel nonchalantly and
pitilessly asked: “What shall I do with
it—kill it?”
The announcement that the Duke of
Mecklenburg-Schwerin wanted Prince
Bismarck for President of his Council
of State was sufficient to prompt Em¬
peror William to abandon a pleasure trip
to Cannes, Now comes the news that
the people of Bavaria decidedly object
to a review of their army by the German
Emperor, although that army is an in¬
tegral part of the defense of the Empire.
On the horizon of Germany signs are
abundant, observes the St. Louis Star
Sayings, that the Bismarckian fabric of
Confederated States under Imperial rule
is not so solid as it was on a certain
day in March, 1 890, when its foundei
■was asked to step down and out.

The Southern Alliance Farmer, in an¬
nouncing that the control of that paper
had passed into the hands of Harry Brown
and T. L. Gantt, and that the latter had
been made an editorial co-worker, says:
Land, transportation and finance are
the three living issues of the day. Aliens
should not and must not be allowed to
own our lands. Our flag should float
over the domains of American citizens,
not of foreign lords. The lines of trans¬
portation must submit to a complete and
just government control, or the govern¬
ment must own them. The finances of
the country must be run in the interest
of the people, and not in the interest of
brinks and bondholders,
A
'Bevier (Mo.) Appeal asks: “Are you
interested in the work of the Alliance?
Do you believe in the demands of the
order as amended at the Ocala conven¬
tion? If you do, it is your duty to sup
port papers that openly and boldly advo¬
cate the light those by principles, getting and help friends spread and
neighbors your
to support them also. If you
patronize p&pers whose chief mission is
to Lind you to the truth and teach you
that you must trample on the grandest of
aud noblest principles if the welfare
your party demands it, you are an in¬
grate, a tra tor to the cause, false to
yo*r family and your country.
The Atlanta Evening Journal of Tues¬
day, says: “Senator Gordon will soon bi
a member of the Alliance. He would
have been regularly initiated into the
mysteries of the order long before this
had it not been that he was unavoidably
absent. He returned a few days ago
from New York and informed the officers
of the Edgewood Alliance, of which he
has been elected a member, that he was
ready to be initiated. There is some
provision of the order which requires
members to be initiated only at regular
meetings. The next regular meeting of
the Edgewood Alliance will be held on
the sixth of March, and then Senator
Gordon will present himself for initia¬
tion. The meeting will doubtless be a
most interesting and largely attended
one.”
A
The rot being dished up to the people
about loans on land by those who oppose
the Alliance demands, is disgustingly
false in statement and dishonest in pur¬
pose. The constant reference to the Ar¬
gentine troubles as arising from land
currency is without a scintilla of fact
behind it. The assignats of the first
French republic were but the shadow of
substantial currency, as they were
really government issues of money
redeemable from the sale of lands,
but they lacked the authority of a stable
government. They were promises of the
government to declared be paid from the pro¬
ceeds of lands to be confiscated,
arid presented no gaarantee that those
kinds would be of sufficient value to re¬
deem the entire issue. The value of the
assignats, was further affected by the fact
that the claim of government to every
rood of the land was issue, litigious, and that at
the time of their and all during
the time they passed current, the nations
of Europe were combined in the field to
overthrow the authority under which
they were issued; that they were value¬
less as money is amply proven by after
facts, the principal of which is that they
w'ere never recognized by the national
authority in time of peace. This alone
is indorsement refused of the judgment of the
people who to receive them in
exchange for the products of their labor.
For shame, that opponents can devise no
better argument thau these false state¬

THE FARMEK8’ ALLIANCE.
Texas is fairly alive with Alliances and
Alliancemen, and the very best, most in¬
telligent men, who were formerly, as
democrats or republicans, active against
each other, are uniting in every township
to form a party of the people.
These Alliances are virtually school
houses in which the correct principles of
political economy are being taught.
They arc the of
tion from political serfdom for the bene¬
fit of the Goulds, Quays Belmonts and
others, who can see nothing in the people
but beings to be found by legislation
that they may be bled and impoverished
at the leisure of the money leaders.
The Wall street machinery, now in the
one-man control of Jay Gould, during the
month of November, 1890, by simply
withholding $75,000,000 from business
uses, caused a depression in securities of
$500,000,000. Jay Gould, after a year of
quiet, got $75,000,000 where he could
dam it and prevent it flowing into the
market. The men found themselves as
an army with supply trains cut off. Fail¬
ure after failure; down went banks, busi¬
ness men and depositors by the thusands
—not alone in New York, but in every
city touched dependence by the financial wires of
man’s upon man.
This is is called direct “operating” of the shortening market.
This the result so
the volume of money that two or three
men can corner a lid control it.
The Wall street operators lose millions,
aud to keep up the fever, dollars the govern¬ the
ment pours millions of into
laps of gamblers, and in turn slaps the
tariffs and the taxes upon the farmers.
The wealth producers are ground still
deeper in the soil waiting for their
bodies, and the wealth absorbers go on
skinning each other, controlling cau¬
cuses, political parties and legislation.
The Barings fail for $100,000,000, and
banks rush to their rescue. A farmer
fails to produce enough his from his land and tc
meet the interest on mortgage,
the law steps in and confiscates his home,
and he steps out a heart-broken man with
a heart-broken family.
Texas is an empire of itself. We pray
God that its Alliances may be even more
numerous than arc its school houses, and
thit in each one may be taught the
principles of financial reform, and thus
the punishment of robbers and the pie
vention of panics.
The payment of the entire bonded
debt of the government in full legal ten¬
der greenback abolition money. that permits

other honds on which the government
can guarantee or pay interest.
