Where there is a unity of thought and acion there can be no disagreements in regard to what is best for all. But as lon as men are unable to arrive at logical conclusions, so long it will be prefer able to keep politics divorced from the economic fight. ihe Columbian Paaeant of last week reminds me of the feast of Belshazzer and of the orgies of the Roman em perors, who foreettme in their drunken debauches the dangers brought about by their own demoralization and bru tality, plunged into beastly revelry and were then overtaken bv eudden disaster. The capitalutic clas3 of this country is richer and more powerful tnan tne ruling classes of any country before our times, and well may they celebrate festivals to parade their power and prowess, for the world is tneirs and all the pleasures that wealth may procure. But theirs is a dance upon a volcano, l believe that this Columbian celebration has been the last occasion for the plutocracy and the middle class in these United States to enjoy themselves at undisturbed banquets. I am confident that the proletarians of America will make an end of political and social despotism before the dawn of the twenty first century. And yet, in spite of the awful signs of the times, there are men in our ranks who dare to assert that the judi ciary and all other public officials, re cruited exclusively from the capital istic class, are not rotten to the core, every single one of them, although it is notorious that no man can be placed in public office before selling himself to that class. For them I desire to quote from Editor Hubbard's Van guard : ' ihe American Kepublic is m grave danger because its working millions believe that its judges have become traitorous pervertrs both of the letter and the spirit of the law, in their eagerness to give lackey service to a lawless and oppressive plutocracy. The very foundation of a free and peaceful government is gone when the masses of the people have lost all faith in the purity of its courts and the justice of their rulings. Affirm who dares that this terrible state of affairs is not exist ing in our Republic to day. All intel ligent men know it to be the case, and it will only be lyingly denied by the lawyers, judges and plutocratic benefi ciaries of our befouled anddebauched legal system. The stable foundation of our democracy is gone from under it, and it now rests on the precarious props of mere forms and the tradition al habit of popular respect for them. How long can these notions or a solid support stand the weighty footfalls of tumultuous multitudes marching atter stolen rights and more just opportuni ties? it tne producing minions 01 America had perfect confidence in the righteousness of our courts of law there would be small danger to the republic in the all pervading venality and rottenness that find expression in laws made to enrich the classes and devastate the masses. An indignant uprising of the voting majority at any general election would sweep the bought legislators trom tne seats tney disgrace and put in honest men." And because every word 01 these lines is true, the tools of the plutocracy are straining their every nerve to pre vent the masses from taking political action. But they are very near the end of their rope the masses cannot be kept in the dark forever, and that is the ray of hope already penetrates in the clouds of our terrible times.

Thirty years ago the merchants be longed to the farmer, that is, he went to the farmer for financial help to carry him through the dull season Conditions are changed something to day. The farmer now belongs to the merchant and the merchant to the bank. Signal, Gainesville, Texas. A distinguishing characteristic of the American Government and people has always been the cordial hospitality ex tended to all strangers seeking homes in our midst. The theory of our gov ernment, the spirit of our people, and the hitherto existing industrial con ditions of the country have each con tributed powerfully to make such hos pitality a guiding principle, policy and Eractice of the American people. The oast that our land offers an asylum for the down-trodden and oppressed of all other lands has been no idle one, but a truth amply verified in the ex perience of every one of the millions that have sought refuge, liberty and enjoyable homes under our flag. To this policy and practice of open-armed welcome to strangers is traceable an important part or that unparalleled progress, development and prosperity which render this country the wonder and admiration of the whole world. In every department of solid, substan tial state building, people of foreign birth and their children have been im portant factors, and they are entitled to a liberal share of the honor and glory that rightfully attaches to what ever has been accomplished in or by this country. The time has, however, arrived when intelligent men of foreign birth, or extraction, no less than those of native birth and ancestry, begin to seriously question whether the old policy of unreitricted immigration can safely be continued any longer. Con ditions in this country have under gone a marked change in several im portant particulars, one of which is an immense increase of competition in productive labor. While large areas of fertile public lands invited the en terprise of the industrious, ambitious poor, the great body of immigrants were absorbed by the country without appreciable effect upon the labor mar ket. The situation is widely different now. The remaining unoccupiod lands of desirable character are insufficient to supply the need that will s on arise from tne natural increase of the popu lation now in the country, and con tinued immigration will strongly in tensify the struggle for homes which the.next adult generation and its sue cessor3 must meet. In truth, this struggle has already become much harder than formerly, as every parent of moderate means who is looking about for a comfortable settlement of. his children can testify. This pressure bears upon agricultural workers, and, as always must be the case, it evens out upon all others with equal force. It is not claimed that population as yet begins to crowd upon resource- in this country, but that the natural increase of the people already here, will in two or three generations resuct in a popu lation as great as will be consistent with the most favorable conditions of a peo ple, and therefore, we need no more immigrants. This contention, of cote. leaves out of calculation all higher de velopment of the present productive resources of the country, which, being only conjectural, cannot be satisfac torily estimated. It is not at all probably, however ad vantageous it m ly come to appear, that public 8entim nt in this country will ever declare in favor of closing our gaies against all classes of immigrants, irrespective of their character and an tecedents. Such a course is contrary to the spirit of the age, and still more strongly opposed to the spirit and tem per of the American people. But there is a strong and growing sentiment in favor of restricting immigration in the interest of the common welfare and safety, A rapidly increasing percent age of the immigrants into this country are from Southern and Western Europe. The typical immigrant from those quarters is a peasant whose horizon has been exceedingly narrow; his moral and religious training most meagre, and his ideas and standards of life dangerously low. The stimulus to this character of immigration has been supplied by certain powerful cor porations, "trusts" and monopolies of this country whose greed of gain has prompted them to 6eek cheaper labor than could be supplied by either native working aen or the better class of European immigrants. The same in fluences were charge able with the bulk of the Chinese immigration. The fact that these Eist and Sou -h European immigrants supplant and drive out. through low wages, the native and other workingmen, is proof of the pur pose for which they were brought to this country. These ignorant, brutal ized people are incapable of beiDg Americanized or of being other than a constant menace to civil order and social morality, and their children will probably be but a slight improvement upon their parents. Statistics showing the extent to which these degraded laborers have already crowded out all other work ingmen would probably be a great sur prise to the average citizen, as would also be the figures showing the num bers of such immigrants stul arriving. They work for wages upon which an American or an Americanized laborer could not subsist without greatlv low ering his present standard of living. They subsist upon food, wear clothing, live in foul quarter, neglect wives &nd children and ignore social ambition in a way that u i? tolerable to th minds of the workingmen whoe places they have taken, and in this fact lies the peril of thi3 ancLkindred classes of foreign immigrants. Nowhere on earth is the standard of living among wage workers approximately as high as in this country, and it As because waes have always been relatively higher than elsewhere. The primary wants of mankind are the necessities of life, without which man cannot exist; fol lowing these come the comforts and conveniences and after these the lux uries of life. The degraded European peasantry now being crowded upon us have been accustomed to the neces sities of life only, and their standard of living is adjusted accordingly. Laborers in this country have been ac customed to obtain the necessities; many of the comforts and conveniences and some of the luxuries of .life also,' and their standard of living has been adjusted accordingly. The chief glory of this country and the strength of its free institutions lies in its educated, moral, socially aspiring laboring peo pie, and it is, therefore, a patriotic duty, yea, an act of self preservation, to defend them from the encroachmen s of the pauperized, degraded hordes that are being poured in from Europe. Not only the interests of the American people, but every other worthy inter est, moral, social, political and eco nomic, demands some restrictions upon foreign immigration. Not only so, but the interest of humanity, broadly considered, demands it. The example of America with her free, peaceful, educated, prosperous labor has done more toward uplifting, ameliorating the condition of the millions of each than any human force of modern times. The race cannot afford to lose the example of America, or to see its in spiring career and influence among the nations put in jeopardy by the trans fer to its shores of a few millions of the degraded, pauper peasantry of Europe. Live Stock Journal. ECONOMY IN FEEDING ANIMALS. A Farmer's Conclusions Derived from Practical Experience. Where corn is one of the staple crops it, will always be largely used as food fur stock; mdeed, it is a question if anything can take its place (in connec tion with the grass) ia the produc tion of pork and beef. With well bred hogs ten and eleven pounds of pork can bo made from a bushel of corn, and on a good grado steer 10 bushels of corn properly fed to him will increase his weight 400 pounds, and in addition make 200 pounds of pork from the waste. Such is the experience of Mr. Joshua Wheeler, who, in a paper read bafore the Kansas State Board of Agri culture, further said : We think it is good economy in feed ing steers and hogs to give them the run of a tame grass pasture clover and timothy. We have never tried what recalled summer feeding cf steers, but we have found that the best gains are made in the early part of the season. Where the animals have plenty of grass in connection with their corn, Sork can be made at a less cost from tay to September where the swine have the run of a good clover field. The importance of plenty of good grass in the raising and feeding of stock cannot be overestimated. The value of clover in the production of pork we have already referred to. Good, well cured hay is just as important for the economical wintering of stock. For milk cows good, bright, well cured clover is of great value. Nothing we have ever tried in the shape of fodder is equal to it in the production of milk. We believe that stock cattle can be brought through the winter in good condition on good timothy and clover hay and good corn fodder, with but very little grain, hence we consider it the best of economy for the stockman to spare no pains in securing his hay crop. We believe it would pay better to plant fewer acres of corn so as to give more time to secure the crop of hay. We consider oats and wheat bran valuable and economical for stock. There is no better ration for horses, milk cors and calves than corn meal, ground oats and wheat bran in equal parts. This ration will cost less than corn and oats fed without grinding. One hundred pounds of wheat bran is worth as much for feeding as three bushels of oats. These figures show quite a saving in the use of bran. A good ration for horses not working too hard is equal parts of cornmeal and bran. This is also good feed for milk cows and calves. All the straw raised upon the farm can be used to good ad vantage in the feeding of stock. Good, bright oat straw is of equal value to prairie hay. The wheat straw can be used to good advantage as bedding, lf it is cut at the proper time it will be eaten very well by stock cattle. Corn fodder cut at the right time and properly cured, Mr. Wheeler classed among the best feeds for stock-cattle, but he deplored the too common habit of turning stock into a field of corn stalks. - HELP BRO. ALLEN. Ma. Editor: Some time ago Brb. Noah Allen, of Institute, Lenoir county, lost most of his cotton crop by fire. He is a hard-working, industri ous man and has a large family and is in need. He has been an ardent worker for the Alliance, speaking and organizing, many times receiving no compensation for his work, leaving his farm and going out to battle for the love of his country. He himself asks for nothing, but the Alliancemen of North Carolina will not let a reserving brother tuffrr. Each . Alliance can contribute some small amount to the brother, as he deserves the sympathy of the entire Order. The loss was al most fifteen hundred pounds of lint cotton. Help him. ' -Very ..truly yours, Chas. L. Abernethy, Lecturer, Greene Co. A BUTTER FACTORY WHICH IS PROFITABLE TO OWNERS AND PATRONS. Long experience in newspaper work gives one self confidence. Outsiders might call it cheek. But whatever it is it enabled me a few weeks ago, dur ing my summer outing, to march boldly up the door of the Forest City creamery at Portland, Me., and ask the managers to give me an interview in the interests of our dairy readers. They not only gave me the interview, but also a glass of delicious cream, the one as acceptable as the other. I may say thf- first thing that struck my eye as I entered the door of the creamery was a large sign bearing the words 44 No Smoking." The principal products of the soil immediately a ound Portland are hay and potatoes apparently, with some ensilage corn, yet the Forest City creamery uses up the milk of no less than 2,000 cows, and the farm houses and grounds look as though their own ers were prosperous. The cows are fed largely on hay and ensilage in the cold weather. The grain they con sume is mos.ly bought and shipped from farther South in the. corn coun try. Still the great sweet corn canning industry of Maine yields a quantity of first class fodder, none ot which is wasted. ' How does the milk you get pan out in butter fat?" I asked the manager. 14 It is all the way from 3 J to 5 per cent.," he answered. "It will aver age steadily 4 per cent." He finds that they have been able to grade up the richness of the milk in that part of Maine decidedly in the years they have run the creamery. The grading up has been done by the admixture of Jersey milk into the farm dairy, a very visible admixture indeed it has proved in this case. The con stant endeavor has also been to educate the patron to be more cleanly and careful in the treatment of the milk. It comes in every day by the carload in great tin cans, each can having a slip attached with the sender's name The creamery supplies the cans, find ing that way most satisfactory. Each farmer's milk is tried by the Babcock test. If any man's product does not come up to the standard fixed by the creamery he i dropped from the list of patron3. Thus -there is an absolute necessity that the milk shall contain its right percentage of butter fat. The milk car runs close up along side the creamery build ing. The cans are brought inside upon a truck ; thence they are lifted bodily up to the vat which conveys the " mills to the cream separator. The milk is warmed to about 85 degrees for the separator. The managers also purchass skimmed cream from their patrons where such arrangement is made. But they find this, to the truth of which I also tes tify : The separated cream is smoother and of more even and fine quality than the gathered cream. I believe the time will come when all farmers hav ing as many as half a dozen cows will use a separator to get the cream from the milk. The person who could in vent a hand separator to fit such a dairy would have a fortune and be a benefactor to the farmer. Such a sepa rator we must and will have. The Portland creamery turns out at resent about 1,000 pounds of butter aily. Considerable cream is sold, too, to ice cream makers and hotels. They have three grades of cream, according to richness. For instance the ind i vidual who drinks a glass of cream does not want it to be as heavy as if he put it into his coffee. Also the boarding house keeper is profoundly interested in having the cream she furnishes not so rich that it will injure the digestion. I asked what was done with the milk that was left after the cream was taken fronxit: I was told that much of it was sold. Perhaps it may be telling tales out of school, but the fact is that much of this skimmed milk every where is bought by milk dealers to mix with the honest milk they get from the farmer, and thus make the honest milk pan out a good deal longer and thinner than it otherwise would. In fact, here in New York, I myself have thus been imposed on by a rascally dealer, but I knew the difference and stopped the milk. He, does not know to this day why I stopped it. The Portland creamery proprietors fatten several pigs on the milk they do not sell. But I wish creamery men generally would take into considera tion seriously the matter of fattening people a little more on the buttermilk that tbey have left. I believe that a money making trade might be built up by every creimery man simoly in this matter 'of buttermflk. It is a royal drink for hot weather, and healthful in both hot and cold weather. The creamery men at Portland run their machinery with an engine of 15 horse power. They say that their plant altogether has cost them about $6,000. A considerable amount of this capital, however, is invested in the hundreds of heavy tin cans which they furnish for the farmers to put milk in. They are about to enlarge their buildiDg. A new kind of butter worker has also at tracted, their attention, which they believe-will be superior to the present one in use in most creameries. Briefly explained, it is one that will move over the butter up and down and around vertically instead of in the present horizontal manner. The buttermilk and water will thus have afehance to fall out by gravity partial'! j. There is not much demand for the sweet cream butter? up there. The cream is ripened or loured lightly till it is " just on the fqfrn," and the man agers find that blotter from it in that TOILING ON. The masses of humanity to day are toiling and pinching and saving from one ear's end to the other, and they receive only a miserable pittance upon which to subsist, and nothing is laid aside for a rainy day. We see this in our own immediate neighborhoods men with families to support, who barely earn the food they eat, and are unable to procure sufficient clothing to keep them comfortable. The out look is dark to them, that their chil dren must inherit only hardship and toil growing more severe with each succeeding year. Where shall relief be found? Will the plutocrat release his grip on the throat of- the toiler, or the bondsman grow weary of turning into his coffers the earnings-of his slaves? Shall we look to the men who have brought degradation and poverty to the toilers to remove the burdens they themselves have imposed upon them? History lifts its warning voice, crying from the shores of Ireland an alarm made more terrible by contrast with the happy past. Pauper Ubor prevails throughout the old countries, and the tendencies in this country are in the same direction. Aliens are con stantly securing immense tracts of land in this country, and every effort is be ing made to control legislation in the interest of the plutocrat, and against the small farmer and the laborer. Toil ing on, day after day, the laborers have allowed these wrongs to pais un noticed, until now their removal will require herculean efforts. The widest counsels must prevail and organiza tion must be perfected and educated up to the hour. There is no call for anarchy. The American people have weapous all-powerful in the ballots they are as yet permitted to cast. It is no longer a question cf whether thi3 or that party wins, but human liberty is at stake, and a revolution must take place in order that labor may receive the hire of which it is deserving. La boring men, before you is a struggle as sure to come as the revolutions of the earth. Bare ye your arm for the work now; to delay means the awful arbitrament of force. Wait not for the resolution born of.dispair. Today your blows will be ballots; to morrow you may sow dragons' teeth in fur rows of a present opportunity Alli ance Advocate. ? BUYING CATTLE TO FEED. There is a marked difference between the ideal steer in the eyes of the expe rienced feeder and the one discarded by him as leggy and hidebound, A writer in the Journal of Agriculture says: Taking one year with another, as much depends upon the cattle we start with as upon any one thing outside of the food and the manner in which it is given. Every feeder that has given the attention necessary under present conditions of cattle feeding to realize a fair profit understands that there is a very considerable difference in the out come of cattle. That given the same food and care, one animal will make a much better gain than another. So much is this different that in many cases it really determines the question of profit or loss. When the margin of profit is small at best, every advantage must be taken and few are of more irn portance than a proper selection. The value of the food supplied is the same as well as the labor required to feed and care for whether the animal is making a fair growth Jn proportion to the amount of food supplied or not, and it is therefore very important to select such animals as will readily make a thrifty growth if fed liberally and given good care. - It is better to pay a higher price for the better class of growing steers, as with them a profit is possible, while with the inferior feeding animals it is often time and money thrown away to keep them. Because an animal is a hearty eater i3 not all that is necessary, as it is not what an animal eats but rather what it digests and assimilates that benefits; and while one animal may readily eat enough the growth may prove very unsatisfactory. On a of the principal objects, if not the r cm cipal one, in feeding cattle is to con vert the farm product into a moro profitable, marketable product. With thrifty, growing young cattle it is pc-? sible to convert much that, to a con - id erable extent, may be considered waste Products into something marketable, his ia especially the case with corn fodder, straw and hay. But if done profitably the right kind of animals must be selected a3 well as good feed and care be given. Another advantage in having good feeders is that they are always marketable while inferior grades are often difficult to sell at any price, and this is not only the case dur ing growth but also to a certain extent when they are already to market. condition 13 most satisfactory to their patrons. They stamp the name of the grocery man on some of the handeoma squares of butter they sell. ' Eliza Archard Conner. NO DANGER, BRETHREN. New Berne, N.
