The Farmers' Alliance of Kausat
and Nebraska, at their annual meet
ing this month, will wind np their
business and disband. Seldom hat
a piwerful organization gone ti
pieces sa rapidly as the Farmers'
Alii ihce.
It has been killed in Kaueas uiu'
Nebraska and elsewhere and left
demoralized and weak where lis or
ganizitions are still maintained be
cause its members permitted Self
aeekiDg politicians to gun control of
it and nse it for their personal ad
vancement. Conducted on business principle
as a co-operative association for t li -benefit
of the farmers this org:;nU
zation might have accomplished
great good. It started out with ex
celled prospects and sncceedtd in
gaining a constituency and a con
fidence which made it very formid
able. Itwaj this very fact which
attracted politicians to it. The)
aw in the Alliance a pier wbicb
they hoped to use for their own ele
vation and too often they succeeded
in doing so. Such a premium it
never offered to demagogy without
enlisting a host of bidders. Many f
politician was lifted into cffi:eb
the Alliance, who could never have
been elected on his r- r. merits
The result of this pervr r.-ifn ef tb
order was natuial a.:d inevitable
The great man .cf its members
found that they were being nsto
cot to promote the legi iaiate ob
jects of their Sranlzt-ion, but to
feed the ambition of designing nier
Thit they then lost interest a
their society and began to drop en'
of it is creditable to their self-re-upect
and common sense.
Another potent c.nse of tb
wreck of the order was (hi fre
qnent betrayal of trust by tboe
who were charged with the man
gement of its business enter
prises. The co-operative stores cf
the Alliance, almost without ex
ception, failed because of the bad
or corrupt methods that were ap
plied to their managemen. Icon
andi of farmers, who took s'ocl
in them, lost every dollar thrj ,n
veated. They fell into the hand.
of incompetent or designing me:
ana were fleeced like sbeep. lne
history of the Farmers' Alliance
should be written fully and ac
curately. It would serve as a warning to
the farmers when they text en
dertake, as they certainly will, tc
organize a general co-operative or

It might simplify matters if tb;
tariff tinkers would get together j asi
a little bit and agree upon what
they want a tariff for. Tbey appear
to agree that more revenue is r
qnired , that the revenue must be
derived largely from duties nron
imports of goods entering into com
petition with American manufac
tures, and that these duties should
be sufficiently high to prevent the
importation of such goods. This is
confusing to the average mind.
The Dresent tariff is attacked m on
the ground that it permits too large
an importation of foreign manufac
tures, and l-o on the ground that
under its operation the imports have
bo falt-n oil, while exports hay
been increasing, that the revenns
from customs has been insufli jient
for the needs of the government. 1;
is now proposed to put up the du
ties as near as possible to the point
of prohibition, so that nobody shall
import anything that can be made
at home. 0;her produc's, in wbicb
we do not compete, are to be admit
ted free. It is not explained where
the revenue is to come from.
Sincere protectionist do not pre
tend oth;riae than that ideal pro
tective tariff is prohibitory. Conse
quently, the more effective it is, the
less revenue it yields. For if foreign
goods continue to be imported in
npite of high duties, tht only effect
of the tariff is to increase rrices
without euIarpiDg the market for
domestic goods, and thus consumers
are harmed and producers not bene
fitted. A thoroughly protective
tariff, therefore, would produce no
revenue at all. That would have to
come from duties on non-compe'ing
products, articles of universal use
which must be imported.
It thus appears that the tariff
tinkering in which the ways and
means committee is now ergaged is
not designed to increase the reve
nues, liut as yet uo proposition
has been brought forward for
revenue tariff though the neei of
more revenue is the min reason
given for revising the tariff at all.
This is an aspect of the subject that
the committee can hardly escape.
After it gfls lh. Pehi'riulo fixed f-i
suit the .vioi!A "interests," it will
have to take up the subject of wars
vid means. There tie ornn people
so narrow-minded as to believe tb.it
this would be a cood lhcg to do
li st. Philtdelpbu Time:
This very lively "dead issue" is
receiving absorbing attention and
the "inleri stt" are bei:i consulted.
We have not seen where the
consumers of giods arei to be
oonsul;ed. They never are consult
ed under the 11 pul'.u"..u urele of
tariff exfept in iin indirect and f x
extreme'v trroreiicl iv.iy tbt mny

If we are U a tariff for pro

not theoretic .lly, and we have no

know where the bin, Irs cone in
where every mau is taxed to help
every other man. That would give
employment to soma coilec'ors of
revenue that would ba pjid for by
"bard licks and steady blows" but
would be better than to tax the
many for the benefit ot the few.

tjical Dpi ra'ions had to be borne by
the jatient naaided by a;;vti:ing to

Nelson had his ei'oow sh.itteied in
battle and bore the ampu'a'.ion with

wis the p:iin that even the coldness
of the surgeon's ktife va8 a;fo

looked over tbe change and asked
the lady clerk if she bad not made

around him.
"You have given me ?l too
much," he said, and passed out of

Before he bad gone far the man

demanded the extra dollar, which
the purchaser refused.
" I shall call a policeman," ho

"As yon please about it," was the
answer. The purchaser gave his

A child, 5! 2 months old, swallow,
ed a penny some days ago. A ra
diograph was taken a week ago, and
the coin appeared located in tbe
oesophigns. A prolonged attempt
was then made by ordinary means
to extract the coin, but without suc
cess. It was finally determined to
use the fluorocope during the opera
tion, the observer directing the
movements from his observation of
the coin as it appeared on the fluoro
scope screen.
Thin boards were placed across
two boxes and tbe patient was
placed coder the Crookeg' tube.
Tbe observer placed himself beneath,
and with tbe use of tbe new metallic
screen of inch mesh definitely lo
co'.ed tbe ccin. The tube was then
placed nnder tbe patient and Dr.
Z mmer proceeded to graip the coin
under tbe direction of tho observer.
The attempt nag highly success
ful, tbe coin being safely removed
after slipping once or twice from
the forceps. Tbe patient was plaoed

every movement of the forceps. The
