Whose heart I had been seeking
For many a day, hat had not found

And she -emboldened hp the scene.

-w i t s
l'or 3ears we navo stoou in awe
of- the -out-and-out, dyed in-the-wool
protectionist. , He ha3 mau
aged to impose the tariff on us as sa
part of his religion, lie did ncit
discuss the subject it was. too sa
cred for discussion. He simplv as
sumed that yovt, agreed with him on
that point aa all rightminded peo
ple 'are agreed on certain matters.
And, of course, he rather dis.cou.r-
couraged conversation on theteme.
-Perhaps it was not exactly wrong
to talk about; but it was m
taste. Sacred subjects ought
to be. touched in the way of
chat. And as he knew that

and
a good citizen, were of the same

of idle chat ? But you were not of
the same mind with him you had
juin uouots about die tar.xr.
there was where the out-and-out,
dyed-in-the-wool protectionist came
out strong t Did be argue tbe mat
ter with you ? Did he try to lead
you to the lignt; to resolve your
doubts; to make the everlasting
truth clear to our darkened mind ?
Xot he! .
He turned ffom yon, in silence.
He was shocked, grieved, pained.
Perhaps he was severe in his man
ner; perhaps lie was only contempt-
udusly pitiful. But he made you
understand that he was disapnoint-
eel in you; that he was conscious of
a blot upon your character; that he
could tieyer trust you again; that
he knew that there was something
wrong in your make up, some in
eradicable J stain of. viciousness.
He let you see that, in his eyes,
you had committed, or offered to
commit, sacrilege. It was", better
to say no more; to change the sub
ject. If it were pursued, he might
only discover some further flaw in
your character. ' Perhaps' you
might be au anarchist in secret.
Perhaps you believed in free love.
"Remarkable weather for this time
of year !" he would say; "it must
be doing the crops a deal of good."
And then he wouldlsigh unobtrus
ively, as the thought occurred to
him that perhaps you didn't
whether your country's crops
care
were
ripe or rotten.
This is a remarkably effective
method of imposing iau idea upou a
community. Tbe mere assumption
of such a tone does much more than
argument to make the doubter feel
that, even if ho is not wrong he
must be unpopular if he voices his
doubt. '- ' . -
And it is on the -weaknesses of
human nature that our old protec
tionist friend, relies, - ana not in
ain. lie wants a protective tariff,
you willl find, -because it pro
tects him. He owns, let us say, a
copper mine in the Northwest. Of
cou rse he wishes to have foreign
competition taxednot necessarily
because he could not compete on
equal terms. He could and he
did ship all his copper to'Europe,
undersell the . Europeans in their
own marketand leave the United
afes to get its own copper back
from European "holders at their
price and pay duty on it. lhis is
not an illustration tor the safce or.
argument t is a disgraceful truth.
That is just.what our copper men
have done just ? what might be
done m fifty other protected indus
tries. 'It is no ; wonder that the
copper men should: have ."- a deeply
religious feeling about the tariff.
But w hy . should you , when you buy
your copper kettle . at' an English
man's price, plus an American duty
why should jou have a religious
Reeling about the tariff ?
Really, a great part ?of the
strength oj jtho protectionists has
lain in their assumption of this at
titude CThey have iaken the ground
that the high protective tar.iif js an
institution whos justice and iene-
ficiencc it were impious to question.
They have shut oil inquiry and ar-
guraent by what the American poker-player
calls a "bluff." But
President Cieteland, with a stern
and cruel disregard of their feelings
hai told Congress and the coufttry
that the tariff needs revision; and
and ttie magic epell is broken. Men
are talk nig and inquiring, and
inquiring, and learning truths that
it it was never intended that they
should know such truths, for in
stance, as this; that protection pro
tects less than one million out of
the seventeen-and-a-half millions
of our industrial population -and
taxes all of the seventeen and -a
half millions. There are many
more interesting fads like these;
and while it may shock the protec
tionists, there are many overtaxed
citizens who will be glad to hear
them talked over on the street, in
the counting-house and in the
workshop. .

to this time the Alliance has been
lootteu upon uy some as a. political

short and unfruitful. But this

has not stood as a unit in politics
I admit that where an Alliance man
has appeared on the stage for office,
that some have been over sanguine
or over zealous in the matter, owing

Last wiuter she appeared in Wash- j

Lord Lyons; the British Minister
of 1850, at Washington, fell desper
ately in love with Harriet Lane,
and proposed to niarry her, but she
rejected his suit, and afterwards
married a plain Mr. Johnson of
Baltimore, who died about jfive
years ago. Lord Lyons, who fried
quite recently, never married, jout
remained faithful to the end of life

actually waded through skeletons

It was a picture of the desert"

soaring above, " and in the back
ground the high and absolutely

I see In almost every agricaUnral
paper I take qp a coloan tpr"
priated to the various in Jastrtes
pertaining to agricultural intcrtit,
and while I am a small farmer and
read with interest such articles,
UU I never, or seldom, see an ar
ticle on "Fish Coltore." And
why? Is it of so little imnorUnce
that it is not entitled to a little
spac in tome paper? Or it it so
profitable that those engaged in it ?
do not want others to eugape in it?
My experience is too limited for me
to attempt to enlighten others in
an enterprise that I am ignorant
of; however, what 1 may say , may,
draw tome new ideas aud informa
tion on fish, or more especially,
"Carp Culture." I think the
greatest cause for neglect or .indif
ference on this subject on the part j
of farmery is that they have not
considered the matter at all ; they
have not given a thought. But
few men have yet conceived of the
immense profit,- the rapid growth
and enormous size the carp will at
tain in one, two and three years in
a pond at all adapted to thorn. 1
venture the assertion that every
farmer who owm from fifty to ouo
hundred acres of land has one or
more acres well adapted to carp
culture, and said acre is a worthiest
barren acre, only a rendezvous for
snakes and bats, but with a little
work, some attention, a little tim
ber and a few dollars, can make it
"blossom as tlie rose," aud make it
he most valuable acre on his farm.
It will afford yon with the luxury
for your table that few now enjoy.
I will say here that one need not
expect to throw up a little embank
ment across tbe branch and supply
it with a few carp, and next spring
enjoy an endless and bountiful
supply of carp. It will require
some system, thought and attention-)
as system is one of the requisites
to make any business a success.
With that yon will find it pleasant
and exceedingly profitable, it you
wisn iO; engage in it 10 mo extern
to make it profitable. Carp is of
rapid growth, and exceedingly pro-
lnc, hence your ponds will soon be
overstocked. -
It will be necessary to construct
your pond so as to draw off the
all eucmlcS ur niah euakce, fioga,
terrapins, catfish,' eels, &c., and
then place in your pond (if one or
one and a half acres in water) 1,000
to 1;200 young carp; then you will
have no more than your pond will
suppply food for. It will require
too much space to go fully into tne
construction of dams, the cultiva
tion of carp,' their edible qualities,
mode of catching, when in and out
of season. I will assure you they
are as good, and will compare fa
vorably with any of our native hsn,
and strictly in season early spring
and fall they are second only to

reference to "Special Bulletin,"
United States Fish Commission, by
Charles W. Smiley, he gives 242
reports from 2-1 States, only 38
contain the slightest reflection upon
carp. The most of these objections
are very slight. 1 wish to hear
from some others on Carp Culture

Employing a Fly.
Flies are most useful scavengers,
for they destroy much matter which
is injurious to man. They lay their
gs in decaying animal substances,
anci these hatch out in a very short
time.; The young flies - begin to
eat as soon as they are hatched,1
and soon eat up the' decayed mat
ter. It is said that the progeny of
two blue-bottle flies will eat up a
dead horse more quickly." than one
lion could perform the task.
' Flies have a wonderful scent. If
a piece of decayed meat is placed in
an open place where there are no
flies, it will not DO loner oeiore a
troop of flies will be crawling over

crimes and punished aa such. - i
2 That such prohibition mult he ftfeur.
ed through aihendmcnts of our oatlotial
and state constitutions, enftrcHl by suVc
qate laws ndequatelf supported by adnitn-
swanve autbontvi and to tun ; rod the
organization of th prohibition party Is
Imperatively demanded Ja itate end na
tion. i - ' ""
3 That any form of license, taxation or
regulation of the liquor traflJo U contrary
to good government; that any party
which supports regulation. licetue or tax.
enters into an alh&nce with iuch trafrkt
and become the actual foe of the rHate
welfare, and that we arraign Republican
and Democratic parties for their Persist
ent 'iniquity, whereby Ihry oppose tbo
demand of the people, and. though open -cnmpliclty
with the liquor cause, defeat
the enforcement of law.
4 For the immediate abolition of . the
nternai .revenue syatem, whereby our na
tional government is deriving i supjwrt
from our greatest national vice. -
a l uat an adequate pnblle revenue ue
ing necessary, it may properly be raised ,
by impost duties, but. Impost duties
auotild be so relucl that no surplus
marine uurutna or taxation saaji'oe tb
comforts and neccMaries of life. " : V ? .
C. That civil service appointments for
all civil office, chiefly clerical in their duties-
should be basetl upou moral, Intel-.
lectual and physical qualifications, and
not upon party service or party necessity.
7. That the right oi suffrage rests on
no mere circumstance of race, color, sex .
or nationality, and that where, fronr eny
cause, it has been withheld from citizens
who are of suitable c and menially and
morally qualified for the exercise bf "on '
intelligent ballot, it should be restored by
the people through the lezfslalures of the
several states on such educational: basis
as they may deem wise. J ;
8. For the abolition of polygamy ' ana
the establishment of uniform laws gov- t ,
erning marriage and divorce.
9. For prohibiting all combinations
of capital to control and to increase the
the cost of prodoct f or popular con suirsp
tion. J v -
10. For the preservation and defense of
the Sabbath as a civil institution with
out oppressing any who rcligously ob
serve the same on any other day than tbe
first day of, the week, j ' '
That arbitration ia the Christian, wise
and economical method of settling nation
al ' differences, and . the same method
should, by judicious legislation,, bo ap
pliedVto the settlement of disputes be
tween laage bodies of cmplovees and em
ployers; that the-abolition of the saloon
would remove tbe burdens, moral, j phy-, :
steal, pecuniary and social, which - now
oppress labor and rob It of its earnings.
and would prove to be the wise ana suc
cessful way of promoting labor reform;
and we will invite labor and capful to
unite with us for the accomplishment
thereof; that monopoly In land is a wrong
to the people, and the public land should '
be reserved to actual settlers and that
men and women should receive f. equal
wages for equal work. , -
That our immigration laws should be
so enforced as to prevent tbe Introduc
tion Into our country of all convicts,, in
mates of other dependent institutions,
and of others, physically incapacitated for
self-support, and that no person should ...
have the ballot in any state who ht not a '
citizenof the United States. - , -.---.-
Recognizing and declaring that prohi
bition of the liquor traffic Las become
the dominant imne in national politics,
we invite :to full party fellowship ail
those who on this - one - dominant Lue,
are with us agreed, in the full belief that
this party can and will remove , sectional
differences, promote , national unity and
insure the best welfare of our entire laad.,
