IBS VVIOV TO TES FARMERS.
Editor Mercury:
We are led to believe that the farm-
ers who are our natural allies, are
strangers to the tyranines perpetuated
on us by the same class that rob and
enslave them, and this is why we write
this article trying in our crude way to
show why they should buy those col-
lars that have our label upon them."
I* When the stuffing machine makes
its appearance in a shop, hand stuffing
ceases; because the machine stuffers
does inferior work, and of course
cheaper. The boss of the shop then
orders the mechanic, who has superin-
tended the stitching of his collars
and built up his trade, to stitch up the
collars at greatly reduced rates, when
the meohanic refuses to turn out such
cheap and worthless work he is order-
ed to quit.
Forthwith his place is filled by those
who care nothing for the style of work
they turn out, and in this way the
country is flooded with cheap, worth-
less collars.
The object of the Collar Makers'
Union of America is to turn out honest
goods at honest prices, and if the farm-
ers will try our goods they will find
they cost very little, if any more, than
shoddy machine goods, and they will
do twice the amount of service, be-
sides they will save the teams.
Collars are made by convicts at Jef-
ferson City, Mo., and Jolliett, 111.,
which are like other machine collars,
"made to sell."
We are workingmen v/ho desire to
make an honest living by' honest toil.
We never turn out a piece of work that
is not first class in every respect. Our
brand, H. C. M. I. U., is on each col-
lar. Ask you merchant for it; if he
doesn't keep it he will get it.
We would thank anv farmer who
will corresspond with us in refference
to our collars, as we know we can save
them money. See a cut of our collar
in onother column of the Mercury,

Gentlemen:—My plating machine re-
ceived; everything in perfect order and
works perfectly. I unpacked it and
commenced at once and plated seven
breast-pins and a ring in a short time.
I am delighted with the work. People
are bringing all the forks, spoons,
watches, jewelry, etc., I can plate.
Enclosed find $5 for one plater for my
cousin. More orders soon. Write
above firm for circulars.
Yours truly,
A. Kriver.

AND
Farmers Alliance of Texas.
In 1889 the question of Life Insur-
ance was brought up and discussed at
the annual meeting of the Farmers
State Alliance of Texas, and the fol-
lowing resolution was presented by the
committee:
Dallas, Tkxas, January 11, 1889.
We, the undersigned committee, recognizing
the Importance of Life Insurance and naving
examined the Home Life Insurance Company,
of Brooklyn, New York, and believing said
company to he strictly reliable, do hereby re-
commend said company to the brotherhood
throughout the state. The committee is con-
strained to make this statement to the brethren
in view of the fact that the question of Life In-
surance has from time to time been brought
before the State Alliance, and no definite ac-
tion has yet been taken by that body.

This resolution was referred to the
Insurance Committee for report at the
next annual meeting, to be held in Au-
gust, 1890, at which time the Insurance
committee presented the following re-
port, which was unanimously adopted:
To President State Farmers Alliance:
After careful investigation we
find there are several good old
line life insurance companies in
whioh it would be safe to insure,
but especially do we recommend
to the Farmers State Allianoe of
Texas, the Home Life Insurance
Company, of New York. For its
strong financial standing and lib-
eral treatment to its policy-holders
we believe it to be the best com-
pany for our brethren to insure in
for their protection.
Respecttully submitted,
T. M. Smith, Chairman.

JUST THINK"OF IT!
This elegant five-drawer Sewing Machine for such a price. This
machine is catalogued at $37.00 by the manufacturers. By special
arraogementB with them we are enabled to offer it at such a low figure.
Because the price is low you must not confound it with these
shoddy no-account iron "traps" that several firms are selling at all
the way from "3.00to $18.00."
It is a FIRST CLASS HICH-GRADEMACHINE!

DESCRIPTION.
Her* is the manufacturers description of the Mercury machine:
" " " ighest priced machines in the world. All wearing
All parts are fitted so accurately that these machines are almost noise
wear any two of the highest priced machines In the worl
ened and adjustable All parts are fitted so accural' "
lesa Every machine passes a rigid lnipeetionb;
The "Mercury" will out-
All wearing parts are case hard-
le machines are almost noise-
men before leaving the factory
In fact, all the desirable features contained in other well-known modern style machines are
found in the "Mercury." Improved and simplified by the best mechanical talent until It
stands the peer of all other sewing machines in the market
ATTACHMENTS.
a fall set of attachments enclosed in a velvet lined oase, accompany each machine, tIk
One Tucker, One Thread Cotter. One Ruffler, with Shirrer Plate, One Hemmer
Set (4 widths) and Binder, One Braider, (foot and slide.)
Besides this each machine is supplied with the following additional accessories:
One Hemmer and Feller, (one piece) Ten Needles, Six Bobbins, One Screw Dri-
ver, One Oil Can (with Oil), Cloth Gauge and Thnmb Screw, and a Book of
Instrnction. The Book of Instruction is profusely illustrated, and answers
the pnrpose of a competent teacher.
The Bplance-Wheel and many of the fine parts are nickel-plated, with other
parts finely enameled and ornamented, giving it a rich appearance.
The improved automatic bobbin winder is so simple that a child can ea ¡'v
operate it—winding the thread automatically on the bobbin as evenly and reg-
ularly as the thread on a spool.
It has a self setting needle and self-threading cylinder shuttle.
The woodwork is the best that can be procured. It is finely finished and of
modern design, making it handsomer than the ordinary style of woodwork, and
is at the same time of equal durability. It is finished in either oak or walnut
—as ordered.
We will give one of these handsome machines free to any one who
will send us
G5 SUBSCRIBERS AT $1.00 EACH.
To the Mercury; or, we will give it for 30 subscribers and $8.00 extra.
In ordering, be sure to give your nearest freight office, as well as your
postoffice. We will prepay the freight to any point east of the Rocky
Mountains for $1.60 additional.
