INVITING DANGER
Actually engaged in work on the
railroads in this country are 750000
men and there are fully 3000000 peo-
ple men women and children who
are directly and indirectly dependent
upon railroad service for a living
There are more ablebodied men in the
service of railroads than the Confed-
erate states ever bad In the field at ona
time during their four years of war
and the greatest war the world had
ever seen up to that time
What a tremendous and irresistible
weight these men nearly all of them
being legal voters could bring to the
decision of a political contest
The Peoples party and the Farmers
Alliance through the Ocala platform
call for a government ownership and
control of the railroads if existing
nbuses are not removed With gov-
ernmental ownership and control
comes the appointment of the men who
will manage the roads and who will
work them The party in power will
see that this vast army shall be of
their faith and as devoted to their suc
cess as the postoffico force is today

So long as Texas sends to other
state3 all the money it receives in pay-
ment of its agricultural products for
clothing implements and bacon just so
long will Texas be poor and complain
of scarce monoy A state that manu-
factures its cotton its wool its iron and
its meats can keep its own money at
homo and get that of less fortunate peo-
ple But manufacturing enterprises
must be located in towns with surplus
population and distributing facilities
Every farmer and miner and livestock
raiser in Texas is directly interested
in the growth of Texas towns and in
tbo accumulation of capital in the
towns for factory building The peo-
ple of the farm who fight the growth
of towns simply fight themselves The
farm and the town of Texas must stand

C an Alliance journal says
The News rnd Courier evidently thought
it had a dnuh on the Alliance when it re-
published an alleged expose of our secret
work We dislike to spoil its fun but truth
compels us to say that this ofttco had copies
of that expose sent in soveral weeks aio
clipped by wideawake Alliance men in re-
mote sections of the state from the New
York Sun The AUianco has boon srailiug
over the matter all this tims and now after
so lonpf a time when our live contempor-
ary publishes it as news the Alliance is
smiling again
The secret work of orders purely
benevolent or social may be objects of
idle curiosity but never of serious con-
cern The alleged oxpose of Masonry
by Morgan was made at a time when
the popular belief was that Masonry
was inimical to the popular welfare
And today peoplo carcnothing lor the
secret work of the Alliance as a
purely industrial and social order but
when the Alliance goes into politics its
secret work becomes offensive This
republic is governed by political par-
ties and the people will never consent
that any oathbound secret organtza
shall govern the country The secret
work of the Alliance belongs to itself
only as long as the Alliance work con-
cerns itself only but when the Alliance
aspires as a third party or as a cohe-
sive factor in any party to dominate the
politics of the republic the peoplo will
resent such domination emanating from
secret work Daylinht politics only
cau control this country The Alliance
cannot bo both partisan and nonparti-
san both political and nonpolitical
As a nonpartisan nonpolitical body
its secret work belongs to itself as-
a political organization the Alliance
cannot maintain a secret work and
live
900000 or more how could the party
be displaced that has their votes and
their influence

ance who supports the Ocala demand

plays into the hands of the men whom

throw of popular government
LESS COTTON AND UETTEB PRICES
The manytimes repeated suggestion
to the farmers of the South to limit the
production of cotton and raise the price
has had so little effect that to speak of
it again is like preaching to the wind
but at the risk of laying itself open to
this chacge JTHE Gazette is going to
from Latham Alexander Co s
tton Annual what they have to say
to the Southern cotton planters
Unless the farmer resolves to Invest
less of his capital in cotton and more
in breadstuffs unless he resolves to
keep the limits of his acreage in cotton
moro in conformity with tho require-
ments of the times he cannot reason-
ably expect that amelioration in his
financial condition which the producer
of an article of such universal consump-
tion as cotton should enjoy Unlike
other produce its cultivation is limited
certain latitudes and is incapable of
eing indefinitely extended except in
the purlieus of these latitudes Com-
petition is theretore confined amongst
Southern farmers themselves who be
c
ause they aro unable to consume all
h ey raise are dependent upon foreign
nations to buy their surplus and if
such surplus moro than supplies these
nations wants tho result is the mar-
kets of the world become overstocked
and the wholo crop is depressed beyond
its intrinsic value when it is no longer
a money crop
The European spinner prefers
American cotton when he can get it
and is willing to pay a premium to ob-
tain it If on account of its scarcity
or relative dearness he uses other
growths he does so under compulsion
To us therefore it seem that the
farmer has tho shaping of his own des-
tinies moro in his own hands than one
would think he has It behooves him
to become a student of the industrial
world to extend tho range of his vision
beyond tho confines of his own planta-
tion If he will do this we do not doubt
that in the future ho will become more
and more independent and share in a
greater degree the prosperity of the
most progressive section of that country
which is today tho wonder of the
world
THE CAUSK OK OUR POVERTY
Upon the authority of tho state com-
missioner of agriculture it is asserted
that about three million dollars a year
go out of Toxas for the single item of
bacon and Texas is an agricultural
state that ought to export bacon
If being an agricultural state and
yet usiiig 83000000 a year to buy bacon
from the farmers in other states how
much do we take from our money sup-
ply to purchase the manufactured
products of other states Wo raise
more cotton than any othor state but
we send to Massachusetts and Rhode
Island for our cotton goods We have
more sheep than any other state but
the woolen goods come from tho same
manufactories We have iron and coal
and wood in abundance but our
wagons our plows our machinery of
all kinds come from the North and the
East For everything that we use ex
ceptraw cotton and wool and jattle on
the foot wo pay out our money How
much do we send out of the state for
these goods Well wo raise about
seventyfive million dollars worth of
cotton every year and our cattle
wheat and sheep will swell this sum to
8100000000 At the end of the year
we have precious little cash on hand
We must have sent about all of it out
of the state for it is certainly not here
It has been asserted as an argument
in favor of tho Gossett alien land law
that we are paying to foreign money-
lenders four or five million dollars a
year for interest What is this com-
pared to tne enormous sums we are
paying other states for manufactured
goods It is certain that this drain of
our money for Northern goods will
never cease until we begin to make
those goods ourselves It is also just
as certain that we have not the money
to establish manufacturing plants nec-
essary to supply our homo demaud and
we cannot get this money from the
Eastern money centers It must come
from foreigners Could we not well
afford to pay 5000000 more of interest
to English money lenders if by doing
sc we could get capital enough to build
our own manufacturing plants and
keep at home the hundred millions or
so that we are now depleted of We
would be very largely the gainer by It
for we should be about ninety millions
a year better off
But we cannot get foreign monoy as
long as the alien land law stands among
our statutes We have banished the
only hope of our independence and un-
less the law is modified or declared
unconstitutional by the supreme court
we shall continue to work for the en-
richment of protected Northern manu-
facturers end through fear of the evil
effects of spending five millions a year
for interest we will continue to spend a
hundred millions a year for manufac-
tures
RAILWAY CONSOLIDATION
C P Huntington makes a plea for
railway consolidation in the North
American Review that if he be worth
anything proves the need for govern-
ment ownership of railroads There
are many reasons in his opinion why
all the railroads of the country should
be brought under a single controlling
and directing agency Among them
mftfm
are the cessationof rate wars the vast
saving inexpenses from the numerous
economies secured the stoppage of re-
bates drawbacks and the numerous
discriminations that now anger the
people and ao on The amalgamation
of all the roads into one grand system
will he thinks obviate all the troubles
inequalities and injuries that result
from the competition of rival and frag-
mentary lines Tho great desideratum
is of course the destruction of compe-
tition Another no less important in
Mr Huntingtons estimation is immu-
nity from legal interference or legisla-
tive regulation in any shape or form
He says on this point Of all property
railroads should have the largest free-
dom in order that they may be able to
earn sufficient to pay a fair Interest
upon the capital invested and to earn
it in a way that shall most nearly con-
serve the interests of their patrons and
tbemselve3 He then adds that the
courts will take care of tho peo-
ples interests by preventing rates
from going up and restricting the
earnings of the roads to a reasonable
figure Mr Huntington has great
faith in the courts the sheet anchor
as he calls the judiciary of all we
hold dear and which as he says will
stand between tho rights of the many
and tho few By few it is supposed
he means the railwar magnates His
faith in the judiciary is greatly
strengthened by some remarks of Jus-
tice Brewer concerning the rights of
railroads which remarks of the great
jurist he quotes approvingly As the
great jurist expressed concern only
about tho rights of the few and not
of the many it would bo well for the
many If there were but a few of him on
tho bench When circuit judge in Mis
souri and Kansas a few years ago this
great jurist decided that rates could
not be reduced by state authority be-
low a point of earning canacity equal
to the cost of operation maintenance
payment of interest and a reasonable
dividend on capital slock There was no
limitation or qualification as to
fictitious stock or water
Concerning this decision tho Kansas
board of railroad commissioners says
in its last report that the rule im-
posing upon the community tho burden
of being taxed to make returns of
profit upon shares that represent no
outlay or investment is a fraud on tho
public Elsewhere it is called a pub-
lic guarantee of interest and income to
every holder of railroad securities and
puts tho burden and risk of railroad
construction and profitable operation
in the public without allowing it influ-
ence or voice in the creating of liabil-
ities the issuanco of stock or the ad-
ministration of tho property It would
take from tho state every vital element
of power to protect its citizens against
unjust and unreasonable corporate ex-
actions and would make losses and
costs of misfeasance and malfeasance
In railroad management a public
charge
So argues the Kansas commission
about this famous decision of the great
jurist who earned his promotion to the
supreme bench by making decisions ofv
that character in the interest of the
railroads It is in such jurists as
Brewer that the railroads would con-
fide their interests and not in commis-
sions or regulative statutes Mr Hunt-
ington will find that he and the people
are wide apart on that subject

Review
Professor J L Ray of Ashland Va who
has been studying the moon through a tele-
scope says there has recently been extra-
ordinary volcanic action on the planet Ht
siys that on the night of June 22 tremen-
dous energy oier the whole surface pre-
sented itself I saw that what of lato
havo been considered great gray plains are
in reality great seas or elso a molten mass
as I saw Immense sheets seemingly of
water thrown through tho lunarian atmos-
phere and find a resting place at least a
thousand miles from where they formerly
were I saw several geat mountains sink
the whole moon swayed to and fro and
everything in tho lunar heavens was in the
wildest confusion I gazed with Intcuust
awe upon this awful spectacle for hours
until the confusion finally subsided and
there seemed to be a dead calm as before
I feel fully confident that the moon was >
thrown several degrees out of her course
and she Is also perceptible nearer perhaps
20000 miles No other astronomer appears
to have noticed these disturbances

Who lays This Tax
Chicago Herald
The other day tho establishment of Ar-
mour Co made an importation of tin-
plate for use in the manufacture of cans
for meats The duty of 3 210 cents per
pound wa3 paid subjoct to a rebate if the
cans were exported The cans filloi with
meats will be exported no doubt and 99 par
cent of duty paid on tha tinplate will be
refunded Tinplato used in this country
however pays the tariff and there is no re-
bate In this way the American is taxed
for such provisions as ho buy3 in cans
while the foreigner by express provision
of tha McKinley bill gets his American
provisions in cans that bear no tax
This is a point that the Herald would
call to the attention of the various high
tax orators who are insinuating that tho
tariff taxes are paid by foreigners They
do not say this in words but that is the im-
pression that they convey Not a dollar of
the tariff tax Is paid by foreigners It is
all borne by tho American consumers In
the case of exported tinned meats the Mc-
Kinley law kcepiug the tax ou Americans
expressly removes it for the benefit of for-
eigners
Per Capita Circulation
Atlanta Constitution
The phrase per capita circulation is mis-
leading It is very encouraging to see it
stated that we have In this country so many
dollars per hoad lit circulation hut tho
main point to be considered is the matter of
distribution
As a recont writer on this subject makes
plain the problem for economists to study
is first the amount of money in the coun-
try and second its distribution One
hundred dollars per capita means nothing
unless it is so distributed and employed as
to enable every worker to use it In earning
a living
Now our financial system is so arranged
that banks treasurers of corporations and
other citizens keep millions of dollars under
lock and key This hoarded monoy is held
for a reserve to answer some sudden and
unexpecte d demand Anything that ham-
pers money a single gold standard for in-
stance prevents the adjustment of cur-
rency to the demands of production and
business When the government raises an
excessive revenue and holds it in the treas-
ury the natural conditions of trade are in-
terfered with and the problem of distribu-
tion becomes more complicated
The remedy broadly stated is to have
enough monoy to meet the legitimate wants
of business and have a revenue system un-
der which the government will draw from
the people through the medium of taxation
only enough to answer the needs of an eco-
nomical administration There can be no
hope of securing a generally beneficial dis-
tribution of the currency until we get
started on thi line
In discussing the financial issues of the
day the fact should always bo borne in
mind that tha per capita circulation means
very little unless the facilities of distribu-
tion keep pace with the business and pro-
gress of the country
