THE OPPOSITION- IT' WILL HAVE IN 1S02.
Correspondence of Ibe VVatcUniaD.
i Those persons who haye entered the
ranks of the reform movement, think
ing that the excess in numbers of those
whose interests will he served by the
accomplishment of its objects will ren
der victory easy, arc mistaken. The
cunning and craft of those who have
succeeded iu keeping the people blind
upon the vital and .living issues of the
da', and divided upon minor issues,
have been busy all these years in forti
fying themselves against a popular up
rising which they, rightly anticipated
would come. Every avenue of attack
upon their 'entrenched' position has
been carefully guarded and strength
ened. They haTe made themseves
masters cf the most potent power in
the land the secular press. They
hare done this so adroitly that Ihe
pcbple hare been induced to support
the pipers that, while- serving the in
terests of monopoly, were sowing the
seeds of discord among the rallying
forces ol the reform movement, "and
neutralizing everyeffort to bring them
together upon questions which affect
their most vital interests. In support
of this statement it is only necessary to
look back over the files of the great
dailies and political weeklies that have,
for years persisteaily ignored the issue
nowso broadly and- distinctively pro
claimed in the" National Alliance plat
form. The operation-s of the money

tluence which it has wielded in divert
ing the attention of tha public press
from those issues, whila their work

dollars in the hands' of a few. and
undermining
the foundations of the
repui.hc. Vv ilh the money Clched
from the people they have succeeded in
perverting the ends of justice by intro
ducing bribery aud corruption in every
department of the government. The
Suprema Court of the United States,
the fountain of justice erected by the
framers of the constitution, is not
wholly free from the bansful influence
of this unholy combination. The
Congress of the United States, the
citadel of American liberty, has be
come their willing ally. -They rejoice
in a millionaire Senate and a House
composed of
bank
kers, who are their
p'.iint tools. Thev make and unmake

TIIE HONEY

-WHAT IT DE-
MA2JDS.
Too much -eannot be said about get
ting honey t the market in good con
dition, and we are
leased to give the
following extracts
from a uaDer bv
xicuij oegeiKien, reai oeiore the iNew
York State Bee-Kieper Convention,
entitled "Wlujt Out Market Demands."
It is certainly tol the interest of the
producer to p6t his product on the'
market in the most attractive and sal
able style, and we, a sellers and dis
tributors, are fn a position to know
tka wants of cmr markets. Receiving
comb-honey io large quantities from
all the h oh ey-producing centres,
we get it in all shapes, and in many
cases there is room tor vast improve
ment. - I
In these days of jsharp competition

is mainly the case with all kinds ef
food products, "such ias canned eood,
preserves, etc., nil o which are hand
somely labelled;, andj those which are
put up the ueatesi will find quickest
sale. The consumer will always buy
that whieh looks the most appetizing
As these facts can not be denied of sta
ple goods, it is nil tie more necessary
to use the utmost care in putting up
comb honey in thai most attractive
style, because this Ujregarded as a lux
ury if not altogether, certainly to a
very great ex tear.
We very often sceihoney put up in
bulky, awkward crates, not even glass
on the sides of the crate; the combs
built withqut separators, so that it is
almost impossible to take them from
the crate without injury. Such goods
find very slow sale ahd prices have to
b? shaded considerably to move them
off. Still these shippers generally ex
pect hiirhe.it prices, atid are often dis-
satisfiad and disappoiiited with the re
turns, vvnen the fault lies with them
selves only. ;
For a one-pound section we recom
mend a single-tier crate, holding twenty-four
or twnty-fivejseetions. While
we are n ot opposed to; the double-tier
crate, webe!ieve ihe former is most
desirable at anv, rate; for unglassed
honey, it some or the combs m an
upper tier leak, they

For glassed or hmrlased

we
ahise the use of heavy paper in the
bottom of the crate turned up about
half an inch on the sides. If soma of
the combs should be broken down.
this will prevent the honey from run-
uing through thejcralev In addition,
, it is advisable to lay strips of wood of
! about one-fourth inch in thickness on
the paper, frm side to side, for the
; combs to rest on. ;; This will. prevent
