A Call For a Farmers Alliance and Industrial Convention. Center Alliance No. 75. We, the Executive Committee of Center and Fair Oaks Alliance, pursuant to the wishes of a number of sub-Alliances of Jasper county, do hereby issue a call for a Mass Convention of the Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union to be held in the Court House, at Rensselaer, Indiana, on October Bth, 1890, atjl o’clock p. m., for the purpose of placing in nomination a county ticket. All members of the Farmers’ Alliance and Industrial Union who are in sympathy with the call are earnestly requested to meet and co-operate in the convention. By order of the committee, Geo. W. Casey, Frank J. Gant, Austin N. Lakin, J. W. NOLAND, Chairman. S. P. Barker, Seo’y. Following is the Declaration of Principles of the Farmers’ Alliance and Industrial Union, 1. We demand the abolition of national banks, and the substitution of legal tender treasury notes in lieu of national bank notes issued in sufficient volume to do the business of the country on a cash system; regulating the amount needed on a per capita basis as the business interests of the country expand; and that the money issued by the government shall be legal tender in payment of all debts, public and private. 2! We demand that Congress shall pass such laws as shall effectually prevent the dealing in futures of all agricultural and mechanical productions preserving a stringent system of procedure of trial as shall secure the prompt conviction, and imposing such penalties as shall seoure the most perfect compliance with the law. 3. We demand the free and unlimited coinage of silver. 4. We demand the passage of laws prohibiting the alien ownership of land, end that Congress take early steps to devise some plan to obtain all lands now held by railroads and other corporations in excess of such as is actually used and needed by them be reclaimed by the Government and held for actual settlers only. 5. Believing in the doctrine of “equal rights to all and special privileges to none, ” we demand that taxation, national and State, shall not be used to build up one interest or class at the expense of another. We believe the money of the country should be kept as much as possible in the hands of the people, and hence we demand that all revenues, national, state or county, shall be limited to the necessary expenses of the Government economically and honestly administered. 6. That Congress issue a sufficient am’t of fractional paper currency to facilitate exchange through the medium of the United States mail. 7. That the means of communication and transportation shall be owned by and operated m the interests of the people, as is the United States postal system. These demands and principles should be studied by all memoers of the Alliance, and should be read and discussed at their meetings.

The following goods, worth double the price, for a challenge: Cotton Flannels, 5 cents per yard. Wool Flannel, 14 cents per yard. Men’s grey undersnits, 50 cts. a smt. Scotch Caps, 25 cents.* Leather mittens, 35 cents. Womens’ kid gloves, 50 cents a pair. Corsets, 25 cents each, and the best grades cheap in proportion. Other merchants will copy above prioes.

•‘A FIRM ADHERENCE TO CORRECT PRINCIPLES.”

Another Deserved Tribute to Col. Patton.

The following testimonial of the high esteem in which Col. Patton was held by his comrades was furnished the Remington News in 1886, when the present Democratic candidate for Congress was in the race for State Senator: Editor Remington News: Republics may be ungrateful, yet I hope the senatorial district in which you are located wiU not be so, but trust that, amongst the honored, the brave and the true, none will be thought more deserving to represent your interests in the State Senate than Col. David H. Patten, whom 1 see has been nominated for that position by the people of your district regardless of their political faith. This is no undeserved compliment to the brave soldier whose name has thus so prominently been brought before them for their suffrage. It was my good fortune to be associated with him in the 38th Regt Ind. Vols., from the time we were muaterod into the army (Sept. 1861) until our final discharge after the war, with its hoary head and bloodbegrimed visage) had vanished from oar sight. Being faithful to every trust imposed, from “Corporal of the Guard” he advanced meritoriously to that of Sergeant* of the Color Guard, where, in the midst of shot and shell, hurled from the throats of rebel cannon, amidaf a shower of rifle balls, striking his comrades from his right and left undismayed and fearlessly he stood, keeping the bright stars and pure stripes of our National emblem aloft, flaunting it in the face of onr enemies and bade them defiance. Thus step by step did he advance, passing to the command of his brave company, when at a dire moment at Bentonville, N. C., our regimental commander, Capt. Jim Low, was mortally woundsd, while conducting an advance on the enemy’s lines, it was that Capt. Patton was oulled to the command of the regiment, and whose manngemen- under those trying circumstances developed* the dormant energies which had only awaited such an emergency to bring to right. In his conducting the various outline duties of the oamp.'he displayed equal ability, thus combining with his intrepid bravery upon the field of battle elements whioh proclaimed him “the perfeot soldier.” □ Should it be the good fortune to have my old oomrade, Col. Patton, represent yo.ur district in the next Senate “put it it down on the list” that he will bring to the duties of that office a brave heart, a pure mind and a determination to do right though the heavens fall. If it were possible, I would gladly pull off my coat and work night and day for his election, but hope the loyslty and intelligence of your community will but follow the example of the powers that were, in those times that tried men’s souls, and as they;—“Thou hast been faithful unto few things, we will make thee ruler over many.” With three cheers and a “tiger” for the Col., and a wish that he may be elected, I sign myself, WM. C. SHAW, late Major 38th Ind. Vol. Infty.

The Conference-McKinley Tax-Bill.

When the senate took up the conference report on the tariff bill Mr. Carlisle addressed the senate. He would not, he said, attempt to discuss the economic the°ry of the bill. It was now about to pass entirely from the hands of; the senate and beyond its control, and a discussion of the question could not be undertakenwithout neglecting the last opportunity to state, as accurately as possible, what the main provisions of the measure were and what would be its probable effect on taxation. It was not his purpose to attempt to state the effect of the measure on the publio revenue beoause it would be impossible to do so with any degree of accuracy. But he would state approximately wh it its effect on taxation would be. No member of the finance committee had ventured during the tariff debate to express an opinion as to what the effect of.the bill would be on the revenues of the government except the senator from lowa (Mr. Allison) who, in the course of a speech on the subject of the expenditures of the government, had revived the subject to some extent. — But tha; was before the conference report was made.

In the statement made by the finance committee when the bill was reported, the reduction of revenue had been given as $71,000,000 under the house bill and SGO,000,000 under the senate bill. Of the $60,000,000 redaction (from articles plaoedon the free list) nearly $56,000,000 came from sugar and molasses, leaving enly between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000 as the redaction occasioned by the removal of other articles from the dutiable list. He asserted that the bill, as it now stood (excepting sugar and molasses), removed from the free list and placed on the dutiable list more than it took from the dutiable list and placed on the free iist. He also asserted that the bill would reduce the revenues and increase the taxation; that while it would not increase the revenues, it would increase the taxation of the people very many times the amount by increasing the prices of the articles of similar domestic production. If it were true that the revenue derived under the conference bill, on the basis of the importations of 1889, would be over $225,000,000, then the average rate of duty on dutiable articles would be be 57 7-10 per cent., withont taking into apqount the ninth section of the administrative bill, whiob would add from 4to 5 per cent. Unless all his calculations were at fault, the average rate of duty under this conference bill and the administrative bill on dutiable articles, would be 60 per cent, instead of 45J per cent, under existing laws. Mr. Carlisle went on to give figures as to the increased taxation under the conference bill, stating it to be in the iron schedule, $ 10,000,000; in the woolen schedules, $14,000,000; in the cotton schedule. $2,000,000; in the flax and linen schedule, $5,000,000; on tin-plates, $8,735,000, and on tin in pigs or bars, $1,357,000. In order to compensate for that enormous increase of taxation, a tax of 2 cents a ’ pound 'amounting to $5,800,000), was to be taken off tobacco. The removal of that tax would relieve no man, and be beneficial to nobody eioept the manufacturers and retail era of tobacco, who wo’d divide that 2 ents a pound between them. • S» producer es tobeer# ami M omnw

of tobaooo would be benefltted to the extent of one mill Coming to the question of the bounty on sugar—ls cents per pound on sugar polarizing up to 90 per cent, and 2 cents on sugar polarizing over 90 per cent., he said that the bounty wonld amount, on the basis of the present prodnotion, to between $7,000,000 end $8,000,000 a year.— This was the first time, he said, in the history of theoountrythetit was proposed to pay out of the public rreesury a bounty to aid domestic producers. But no part of the bounty, he esserted, would be paid to the grower of the beet or sorghum or cane; every dollsr of it wonld go to the sugar manufacturer. It might be said, however, that the producer would rooeive a higher prioe for his product. That, he declared, could not be, for in the first plaoe, the farmer oould not oontrol the prioes of his prodnots, and in the seoona plaoe the manufacturer of beet sugar would be compelled to sell his sugar in the open market in competition with the sugar made from cane and soighnm, and oould not afford to pay to the farmer one oent more for his beets than their value as compared with the valne of other substances from whioh sugar is made. Nor would the consumer, he said, receive any benefit from the bounty. He would not get his auger 1 cent cheaper than he would get it if there was no bounty paid, fer the bountypaid sugar would sell in the markets at the same prioe precisely as the duty-paid refined sugar ooming from other countries. This was a new application of the principle of protection in tniß country and was copied from the paternal governments of Europe. It did not apply equally to all the people of the United States because there was a large area of oountry in whioh cane, sotghum and beet oould not be produoed. The advantage of the bounty would be confined to those who make sugar grown from the cane in Louisiana, the sorghnm grown in Kansas and the beet grown in the Northwest. There was, therefore, no possible ground on which the constitutionality of that provision oould be maintained, except on the ground that congress had the right to impose taxes to raise revenue for the purpose of promoting the general welfare and that the proposed bounty was such a proposition. It required no constitutional prohibition to invalidate suoh a law, beoanse it was a violation of the terms of every social compact in a free country. The courts had invariably held that no state legislature could authorize a county or municipality to impose taxes for the purpose of enoouraging manuf actures.’or any other industrial pursuits. If the states could not do it, with unlimited power of taxing, how, Mr. Carlisle asked, oould the general government do it? On this point Mr. Carlisle quoted at length from writers on jurisprudence and from decisions of courts in several states to the effect that taxation for private purposes was uot taxation, but plunder.

Having disposed of the legal points involved, he said that the bill having put sugar on the free listfand provided for a bounty to home producers, permitted the president to impose the duty on sugar unless the governments of sugar-produc-ing countries on this hemisphere«“should do something that would be satisfactory to his excellency,” It was a proposition to oonfide to the judgment or caprioe of the president alone tne determination not merely of oertain facts defined in the law, but of the results and effeots of those facts and circumstances. The amendment offered by the senator from Maine (Mr. Hale) had been substantially correct; but the amendment reported from the finance committee and embodied in the bill was not reciprocity; it was retaliation, pure and simple. The proposition was one to retaliate on the people of the United States by imposing a duty of 10 cents a pound on tea, 5 cents a pound on coffee and from 35 to 38 per oent. on sugar, unless China Japan, Brazil abet Spain sho’d do certain things, over whioh the consumers in the United States had no control. He did not think that the reciprocity section would be of substantial benefit to either the manufacturer or the farmer.— He regarded the proposition as a mere political devioe, to appease, as far as possible, an indignant public sentiment and to check for the time being, a rising cloud of opposition to this extreme policy of protection.

COL. DAVID H. PATTON.

One of the distinguished visitors in our city last week, at the soldiers' re-union, was Col. David H. Patton, of Remington, democratic nominee for congress. The colonel is a man of attractive physique, being six feet tall and weighing two hundred pounds. He is a quiet, unassuming fentleman, with a kindly face and adress, and while he was here, primarily, to mingle with his old comrades, he made many acquaintances and in every introduction left a favorable impression.— Those who expected to see a politician were disappointed. But those democrats and republicans who want a true representative of the people of the Tenth district were eminently satisfied with the personal appearance, general demeanor and ripe intelligence or the colonel. He is a nice man, and will make a solid, conservative congressman: —Rochester Sentinel. Our friends who have promised us wood on subscription are hereby notified that we are in need of that article.— Please bring it along, and oblige. Somehow, every time the tariff goes up, wages go down.

THE CONNEMARA GIRL.

I®** Dtvh*. Her Food, Her Okarnu, a yM Her One Dream of Life. The Connemara girl! She weigkß about 180 pounds. She woars a woof en peticoat woven by herself, an | over her head and serving the put* poses of both shawl and hood is a whit* peticoat, held in place by her loft ban<| under her ohin. The red-pettiooa* reaches only half-way down her calves* The stride of this child ofthe bog is Amae ronian, yet very graceful. Her day* are spent in carrying seaweed manure, turf for the fire, and watei* for the illicit still. Sometimes shtn carries the turf a distance of two miles on her baok in a wicker basket. Her load generally weighs about 100 pounds. Her stockings have no soles, and she is too poor to buy shoes. Hut she wears the legs of heavy stockings to proteot her oalves, when the edge of her heavy petticoat, wet with so* water, slaps against them. Her hands resemble a pleoe of tanned leather, they are so hardened by tolL The brown oow that browses in the bog is no more innocent than thin maid of the orag and bog land. Such a wealth of color, suoh satin skin and such vigorous health are not soon in America. In the evening, after this maiden has worked like a donkey, she goes home and eats a supper of .potatoes (boiled potatoes) nothing else. Her father or mother may drink a cup of tea, but that luxury is denied to the girl. The tea costs too much When the potatoe skins have been fed to the pig the Connemara girl heaps on the turf, for there is plenty of it there, and nods herself to sleep in the chimney nook. Or, it may be, if there are visitors or neighbors in the house, she will lilt or hum for them to danoe by on the hearthstone. This lilt is one of the quaintest things heard in Ireland. The sounds resembla closely those of an Irish pipe. They are produced by the vocal organs in •onjunction with the tongue. The tune is usually very rapid, and the lilter catches her breath frequently. And what do you suppose the Connemara girl’s dream by night and by day IsP *Tls that she may gather 120 together so that she can go to America, the land of catarrh and pneumonta; of Indoor work, where she will lose her satiny Bkln and splendid vigor; where her eyes will ache for a sight of the Tweve Pins of Connemara; where—but, pshaw! she’ll cross the «ee when she gets hor passage money.

THE DEVIL'S DANCE.

igpxrful Spectacle Which Enlivens life in Africa. A fantastic orgie was witnessed at the town of Loongi, the oapitai of Bul(urn, west coast of Africa, by a party of officers from the West India rogiment quartered at Sierra Leone. The people of Loongi are Mahommedana. but the dancing devil himself is a relio of a not long departed paganism, and so also probably is the dance Itself. It takes place in the courtyard of the chiefs premises, which Is entered through a circular hut The scene which presents itself to any one coming suddenly out of the darkness into the noise and glare is decidedly uncanny. In the center of a circle whloh fills the courtyard, the devil with an orthoddk tail, a great crocodile's head, and long grass, looking like hair, depending from his body and legs, and r.v&ying as lie moves, leaps, beating thne with his feet to the beat of the drums; while the women, two deep* wall a ohant and strike their palms together in slow, rythmical measure, those in the front row bowing down between each beat The young men in long robes and caps wail with men. Both are under vows, the dance being one of their rites. They look dazed to begin with, but gradually work themselves into a frenzy; and the black faces, the monotonous, wailing cry, the thrumming of the drums, the rattle of the clackers, and the beat of the devil’s feet as he springs up, crouches down, and swings about, make a scene to shock the quiet moon and stars and gladden Gehenna. North of Sierra Leone Africa is Mahommedan, south pagan, and the southern people have this devil. When peaoe is declared between two native tribes, the peaoe devil, who is a fetish, oomes leaping into the town; but if he stumbles or Calls tt is considered a bad omen, and ha is put to death for his pains.

Impossible.

There was to be a company at dinner, says the Binghompton Republican, and Bobbie’s mother had cautioned him to be careful of his behavior, especially to eat sparingly, and always to say thank you when anything was passed him. , The older people were rather numerous and, perhaps, rather hungry. At all events they kept the hostess so busy that she found no time to wait upon Bobby. The little fellow grew desperate. “Say, ma,” he whispered, after a time, “how can I eat sparingly and say thank you, if I don’t get anyKonev In n Tree’s Heave.
