The McKinley bill may not be going to help the farmers, but it has been helping Mr. Blaine pretty liber ally. There is a grave suspicion abroad that Senator Frye is working the Blaine literary bureau for advertis ing purposes. Gov. Gordon and the Atlanta Constitution seem to have abandoned their Northern boycott as a bad job. They never should have begun it, for the same reason. The sentence "Pack my box writh five dozen liquor jugs" has been found to contain all the letters of the alphabet as well as important in structions to the servant. Mr. Phelps might have been ob served any day last week "walking slowly up and down Unter den Lin den and whispering cautiously to himself: "Hoch for Blaine!" Canada rnaj yet find herself be tween the upper and the nether millstones. When she does she can make up her mind which is harder, Maine granite or English oak. As the Argen tine Republic is some thing over $330,000,000 in debt the new revolutionary Minister of Fi nance will find his chief difficulty in having no finances to administer on. The important information is sent out that President Harrison weighs 193 pounds. In the matter of phy sical bulk it "will have to be admitted that Mr. Harrison is not a small man. It is stated that the trouble "with the Guatemalan army is that in war time they have to go out and catch recruits. Somehow this seems to in dicate that Mr. Reed got his Congres sional training in Guatemala. There is to be an anti-lottery con vention in Louisiana. So long as the magnates of this big game can control the Legislature they care not for the patriotic protests of the gentlemen who are trying to talk the lottery out of existence. Blaine's policy is working mightilj at the West and it will not do for Congressmen to try to ignore it. If thejT do they will meet scant welcome when they get home and begin mak ing campaign speeches m the little red schoolhouses or out in the groves. Peculiar In the combination, proportion, and prepara tion of its ingredients, Hood's Sarsaparilla accomplishes cures where other preparations entirely fail. Peculiar in its good name at home, -vhich is a " tower of strength abroad," peculiar in the phenomenal sales it has at tained, Hood's Sarsaparilla is the most suc cessful medicine for purifying the blood, glYiag strength, and. cheating an appetite. wtfSti XECES8ITY FOR ADOPTING MEAS URES FOR THE CAMPAIGX. It is a recognized truth that American farmers as a class are face to face with a crisis. Shall we meet it as strong, intelligent men, lovers of home, country, and family; and opposed to all class legislation tend ing to the enrichment of the few at the expense of the million; or will we in our credulity continue to follow party leaders until we are over whelmed hy the fate that sunk the tillers of the soil in India, in Egypt, in Europe? Shall the American farmer be a slave, a serf, or the pro prietor of the soil he cultivates? This is for us to determine. If to remain freemen, the independent owners of the soil we cultivate, then let us complete our organization. "Grasp hands with a grip that means some thing compare ways and means, and unite upon ends to be gained." We of the Alliance already have reason to rejoice and to congratu late each other that our organization has not been in yain, nor our labors barren of results. In an eminent degree we have been successful in making all parties acknowledge that agriculturists have rights that should be protected and wrongs that should be redressed. In our last legislature and in our present Congress our friends, so 2alled, are numerous. Almost eveiy representative takes occasion to refer in professed fawn, ing terms to us and our great indus tries. Under such circumstances is it not a great mystery that our wrongs are not righted and justice done? We are asking no favors. We demand only equality before the law; and yet, in the hands of our professed friends, the measures for our relief fail either from non-action or hostile action. How much longer con we submit to such a policy? Friends in words, enemies Ln action! I am one of those who feel that we should not and can not submit longer to wTords of professed friendship from politicians or of part' platforms, in tended to catch the floating vote, while the legislation of the country is rapidly reducing us to the condi tion of European serfdom. A quar ter of a century is certainly long enough to wait and watch. Our patience is exhausted and our inter est almost destroyed. Having secured the front position, the acknowledgment that we have rights to be protected and wrongs to be redressed, we should advance to the next position action. United action should be our motto. A for ward movement should be made, and made now. What is that movement? Unquestionably to select and send to Congress and the legislature rep resentatives of ourselves and of our interests; men who will subordinate mere party politics to the general good, and who will make practical legislation the first end to be attained. Let us select men who will wTork and vote for our interest, as well as talk for us. Mere words of friendship may tickle our fancy, but will not advance our interest, however ingeni ously shapen to secure votes. I do not say select none but Alliance men in almost every county and Congress ional district in the State, who on account of their business relations are not eligible to membership in the Alliance, bnt who are as devoted to the principles of the Alliance, and who recognize the importance of laws being enacted for the relief of the masses of the people, as any member of the Alliance. But, I say, select men who are primarilj with us in opinion and interest, .and who will regard measures for our relief as of the first importance, and who will introduce these measures early in the session, and have them enacted into laws; who will not, while professing to be friends, interpose minor ob jections and motions for delay, with a view of ultimate defeat of the measures. Among the present par ties we can find men of this character, men who will recognize the fact that if they have a party to obey they also have a country to serve. Gentlemen of the Alliance, will you consider these things? Yes, I know you will. Then let us come together aud formulate our line of action. Now, this fall, is a fit time for us to begin. Why should we not have in Congress a representa tive specially of ourselves and of our interests? The Alliance has not or ganized a new party, but we should be well enough organized and drilled to act independent- if the 'necessity fot such action came. Our principles should be .paramount, and we can not afford to risk anything by sacri ficing those principles for the sake of holding any partj- intact that does not indorse them. We must think, plan, and act for the general THE SEMI-WEEKLY PUBLIC LED GEE- i good, for the masses of the people. j The fall elections are fast approach ing, and we must adopt such meas ures as will insure the election of men to Congress in sympathy with us, and who will secure the enact ment of laws to relieve us of the con ditions under which wTe are now suf fering, and fast drifting us into poverty and consequent serfdom, and for which both the dominant parties are responsible. Dr. J. A. Reid be fore Madison county (Va.) Alliance. aiii.: issrir to injury. "We, (the colored people) are the Republican party in this State." was a remark made recently by Jno. H Williamson, the leading colored poli tician of this State. This idea was emphasized by Yancey, Day, Moore, Grandison and other colored men of wealt h, influence and intelligence in the April mass meeting here. Yet, in the face ot this fact, which not one of them dare deny, Brower and his colleagues have continued to ignore the claims of the negro to a share in the spoils of office. They go even further than this, they will appoint an ignorant, incompetent, disreputable white Republican in preference to an intelligent, com petent negro. We are no advocate of the appoint ment of a negro to any office the duties of which bring him in contact with the white people, but we do think that'a sense of gratitude should lead Brower and his associates to act at least consistently with their campaign declarations. Brower makes no apology for not appointing his colored constituents to office, on the contrary he adds insult to injmy. In April last when a delegation of the colored men of this city waited on him and earnestly remonstrated with him, telling him that if the claims of his colored sup porters wrere not considered the negroes would oppose him, he poli tely replied, "You niggers may go to hell, I don't want you to vote for me anyhow." That was an insult added to the injury inflicted in not giving them a share of the spoils of the victory they had won. Wednesday night in his speech he said that he "had appointed all the decent and competent niggers in Greensboro to office." . This strikes us as being an added insult, for it seems he did the reverse and ignored the "decent and com petent" colored men to appoint the other kind. We only mention this to giye some idea of the integritjr of Brower and his broad statesmanship. Greens boro Patriot. "I was troubled with Catarrh for oyer two years.
