▲ correspondent of the Dallas News from
Albany, Texas, write* us lollows:
lu bin BpeecU at tUe courtUou e lust nlgbt,
Bon. Kvan Jones, president of the Farmer'
Alliance of Texas, In substauct said:
Relativo to the downfall of nations, let
me call your attention to-night to imperial
Borne. During the early reign of the em-
pire the people owned large interests in the
land* and they were prosperous. But po-
litical chicanery began to corrupt her insti-
tutions, and the land* begau to pass into
the band* of the few and were owned by
lew than 2000 people, and imperial Rome
began to decay and passed out from among
tbe nations of the earth.
The United States In this line is accom-
plishing in a few years, under her system
of corporate powers, what it took Rome
centuries to wreat from the people. In or-
der to bring thit matter before you in its
true light it 1* necessary to state that land,
labor and capital constitute the three great
aources from which the government draws
ber support. If land Is getting more than
Its just or pro rata share, labor and capital
will becomo poorer. If labor is gcttiug
more than Us just or pro rata share, land
and capital will become poorer. If capital
Is getting more tban its just and pro rata
ni uro luuU and labor will become poorer;
There can be no war botween capital and
labor if each get their share oi what is pro-
duced from mother earth. It there is a
just distribution of the wealth that earth
produces there cau be no antagonism.
He said it was useless lor iiiin to suy that
the reduction in the prices of home product
tlons was divorcing capital and labor.
Thoie is a great political uprising all over
the United States on accouut of tho con-
traction of the circulating medium, nnd the
people are investigating for themselves the
causes that lead to this unfortunate state ol
ail'ai: ■ Those who have money will not
part with it except for large profits, be-
cause money is increasing in power, while
other things are decreasing in value. Tbe
oxperienco of ine past two years has
taught the business men and capitalist not
to invest. And in discussing the question
he wished to be understood that ho had no
reference to local interests. The present
system of our government ilnances is di-
vorcing capital and labor, and tbe great
wheel of contraction is getting in its work.
The question of ünances is ail'ecting all
clauses of our people—tlio man that wields
tbe hoe, the business man ancl the profes"
sional man; it affocts all alike. While the
laboring people are being oppressed money
influence* are fattening on the general dis-
aster. Take from idlo capital lis profits
and make it as unprolltablc as idlo labor
and there will be no conflict between them.
IJutthe Industries of the country are grow-
ing under the iron heel of monopolies and
the people need another such man as "Old
Hicory" Jackson to regulate our ilnances
as lio did in opposition to the United Stales
banking system, for tliero is but little dif-
ference in tho way our present banking
system is oppressing tho people and the
system then proposed.
The farms of the northwestern states,
valued at about $5,000.000,000, are mortgaged
for about $3,000,000.000. This means that
. wo aro drifting in the tame channel that
led to the downfall of tbe ltomau cniplie.
And I warn you that it is a duty which
every citizen owes to his country, to his
family and to himself to investigate this
question.
Five-sixths of the bonds of tho govern-
ment are owned by capitalists, and they
necessarily control the system of ilnances.
This system of finance is based on ironclad
mortgages on the lands of the people.
This system has also contracted the circu-
lating medium until thero is not enough
monoy to carry on tbe business of tbo coun-
try, and in all candor I state to you that it
demands the cAreful attention of the peo-
ple.. Georgia, Louisiana and Texas arc
plastered all over with mortgages owied
by foreign capitalists—50 per cent, at least
operated by loan associations.
It Is a shame for a country that can boast
of ao much skilled labor and rich material
to be compelled to give its subsistence to
foreign capital. They already own 22,000,-
000 acres of our lauds.
The time has come when we are called
on to act, and not to stop and investigate
tbo conditions of foreign nations, for their
subjects already own too much of our terri-
tory to be wholesome for the growth oí our
republic. When a republican form of gov-
ernment oppresses the people they looso
respcct and interest in its institutions that
will tend to its downfall. There Is opposi-
tion now and it is tending to dissatisfaction
among our people, which demands that our
statesmen come forward and do something
to relieve them, or the people must look
around lor a Jackson to lead them out of
the dilemma.
Referring to the railway indemnity lands,
he said that it was a duty that every citizen
owed to himself, no matter what party he
añilllated with, to demand that the lands
the railways had swindled the people out
of be restored to them.
He (aid It was a necessity that the people
demand or their legislators a law forbidding
alien ownership of lands.
He thought it was useless for b(m to say
there were railway pools—combinations of
the railways to control the transportation
of the United States. He was here to tell
the people to-night ¿bat the vast railway
corporation* were binding tbe Industrie* of
the people in iron chains, notwithstanding
some statesmen say that railroads are built
by private capital, and ought uot to be in-
terfered with by legislation. Railway*
eannot be built without tbe sanction of
land, for they could not («cure the right* of
way over the people'* lands, much let* re-
ceive grants from the government and the
state* of Urge bodies of the people'* lands.
In feet, the people build tbe railways and
tarnish the produce for trsniportatlon that
return* a revenue to the itookholder*. The
InUreita of the railways and the people are
mutual, and there should be no discrimina-
tion in rate*.
Of overproduction he aald: "Tho theory
overproduction Is false. II the eotton
producer, who raises the surplus of tho sta-
ple, Is not able to tarnish his family with
the articles ho produce*, then eannot bo
an overprodwotlon ef cotton. If tho pork
producers are told that there 1* an overpro-
duction of pork, and, in consequence
thereof, priccs are low, and at tbo same
timo tbe producer is not ubie to supply his
family with pork, there is no overproduc-
tion lu pork. Tbo same may bo said Of the
cattlemen, There canuot be an overpro-
duction In anything when the people who
produce it cannot supply their families
with tbe artiole. Then these are tho ques-
tions that every American citizen, regard-
less of party, must investigate, and unless
we do, tbe time will come when this govern
raent will follow in the wake of other re-
publican governments which have fallen
under misrule.
All wealth is based on tbe production of
mother earth, and when that ia oppressed
the people must suffer. The farmer* pay
for all—furnish the wealth for all. In the
bosom of the earth we And that which
gives employment to all."
He ciosed by giving the liiitory of the or-
ganization of the Farmer*' Alliance.
Old Party Bule.
bxlton, TlCXAS.
Editor Merocrt:—Before another 1*-
bub of The JIkhcury tbe people will have
an opportunity at tbe ballot-box to deter-
mine whether this country shall continue
to bo controlled by the money and whisky
power or by tho people, it is idle to ex-
pect any legislation in tho interest of tbo
people bo long as either of the presont par-
ties are In power, for it is apparent to all,
cxcept tbe blind partisan,that both parties,
it not corrupt, are controlled by corrupt in-
fluences. The present attitude of the Doom
eratio party 'and tliu measures oi reliel they
are preteadtng to proposo aro ail insult to
the intelligence of tbe laboring elemento!
the country. The people everywhere are
demaudlng corta! n reforms, aud they are
gravely told that a proposod reduction ol
the duties on imports will restore the coun-
try to prosperity. Tho people demand tbe
abolition ol tbe national banks, the issue
and control of the currency by tho govern-
ment, the ownership aud control of trans-
portation linos, the protection from great
combinations of capital that even despotic
governments accord their people, and all
they are promised by either party is a re-
vision of the tariff. Tho Republicans claim
that protection Irom the pauper labor of
Kurope is necessary to protect the manu-
facturer and Incidentally the laborer, and
the Democrats say that iroe raw products
and protection to the manufacturer is all
we ucod. In tho meantime the great trusts
are cornering every product of this coun-
try. Tbe money power absolutely controls
legislation, state anil national, aud will, un-
til the people riso up aB one man and hurl
from power and place tho robbers who aro
now controlling tho country.
w. s. White.
After tbe Campaign.
Many will bo relieved to-day to know
that the turmoil of a national election, or
rather of tho political campaign, is over,
for tho election itself would bo a simple af-
fair but for all the party maneuvering,
which has becomo customary, and in pres-
ont circumstances Inevitable. It would be
of no uso to oxpect a chango merely by de-
claring that this ought not to bo. Interests
at stako aro not abandoned on such con-
siderations. The mechanism for getting au
expression of popular will is to tbe last de-
gree cumbrous and freighted with difficul-
ties tor intelligible and honest results, but
it is there, and it Is all there Is lor tbe rc-
loi mors of political methods by political
methods as well as lor the manipulators of
popular suffrage. Thero is no such result
as flat reform. Everihing must come about
as an evolution or devolution of or from
elements of power and tendency. The
amount of talk, writing, printing, political
profession and stago performance by poli-
ticians, compares with tbe slow and endless
efforts of nature to produce work* In which
she may delight, as it were. The speeches,
tho papers nd tho bills in congress are like
blades of grass or leaves of tbe forest, which
in mlllious go to form a little soil upon
which some finer plant, some fruited vine,
may grow to fine proportions under tbe
caro of intelligence. Tbe candidate who
has left his business for a political wild-
goose chase will feel disappointed. Ttie
same experience has been lived through by
others. If honor has been maintained all is
well. The professional politican will now
take a back scat and let the business Inter-
est? of tho country aifaln have that dally at-
tention which they need. The few success-
ful ones who are not regular office holders,
will soon find that tho rose of ofllnlal honor
has Its thórns. They have need of all their
moral stamina to guard tbetn against the
tomptatlons which beset the slippery path
of power, however limited, with Its almost
nominal responsibility in many respects.
Mr. Ward Would Not Kow-tow
In the November American Magazine,
Mr. L. Mcintosh Ward,, In Ills article on
the First American Embassy to Pekla, thus
describes the negotiations about an inter-
view between the American Minister and
tbe Emperor:
The Commissioners, however, would dis-
cuss nothing but the proposed audience
with the Emperor. One of the Commis-
sioners stated that tbe Emporor himself was
desirous of conferring with Mr. Ward,
having been favorably impressed with
what be had heard of America and Ameri-
cans, and wishing to see tbe first repre-
sen tative of that nation who bad visited
his capital. The (tumbling block in the
way of tbe audience was the rite called the
Kow-tow, which Mr. Ward refused to per-
form. ¿The Commissioners requested Mr.
Ward to kneel to the Eniperor, and agreed
that tbe knocking of tbe bead on tbe ground
would be dispensed with. To this Mr.
Ward replied that while he entertained the
greatest reipect lor tbe Emperor, and In
that only felt what tbe President himself
bad e^prested in the letter of which he wa*
the bearer, yet be wished to declare that
highly a* be would regard an audience and
important a* he deemed It under tbe cir-
cumstance*, atlU be had never asked for
an audience, and the treaty said nothing
about It, and he could not Irneel when he
eamo before the throne; be eould only
salute the Kmperor as he did bis own
Baler; that he lcnelt only as an act ol wor-
ship before Ood, and would do so to no
SHE SOUTH. j
Standing In tbe presence of this multl- j
tude, sobered with the responsibility of tbe i
message 1 delivered to tbe young men ofj
tbe South, I declare tuat tue truth above
all others, to be worn unsullied aud Bacrcd
in your hearts, to bo surrendered to no
force, sold for no price, compromised In no ¡
necessity, but cherished aud defended as |
tbe covenant of your prosperity, and the
pledge of peace to your children, is that tbe
white race must dominate forever in tbe
South, oecause it is the white race, and
superior to that raco with which its su-
premacy is threatened. It l( a race isaue.
Let ub corno to this point, and stand
here. Here the air is pure and tbe light is
dear, and hore honor and peace abide.
Juggling and evaaion dooeive not a man.
Compromise and subservience have car-
ried not a point. There is not a white man
North or South who does not feel it stir in
the gray matter of his brain and throb in
hi* heart. Not a negro who doe* not feel
it* power. It 1* not a sectional issue, k
speaks in Ohio, and in Georgia. It speaks
wherever tbe Anglo-Saxon touches an
alien race. It ha* just spoken In univer-
sally approved legislation in excluding tbe
Chinaman from our gate*, not for hi* ig-
norance, vice*, or corruption, but because
he sought to establish an inferior race in a
republic fashioned in the wisdom and de-
fended by the blood of a homogeneous peo-
ple. The Auglo-Saxon blood has domin-
ated always and everywhere. It fed Al-
fred's braiu when ho wrote tho chartor
of English liberty; ltgathercd about Hamp-
den as he stood beneath tbo oak ; it thun-
dered in Cromwell's veins as he fought his
king; It humbled Napoleon at Waterloo ; It
has touched tbe desert and jungle with un-
dying glory ; it carried tho drumbeat of
England around tho world and spread on
every continent the gospel of liberty and of
God ; It established this republic, carved it
from the Wilderness, conquered It from
Indians, wrested it from England, and at
last, stilling its own tumult, consoorated it
forever as the ho.no of tho Anglo-Saxon,
and the theater of his transcending achieve-
ment. Never ono toot of it cau be surron-
derod while that blood lives into American
veins, and feeds American hearts, to the
denomination of an alleu nnd inferior raco.
And yet that Is just what is proposed. Not
in twenty years have we seen a day so preg-
nant with fate to this section as the 0th of
next November. If President Cleveland Ib
then defeated, which God forbid, I believe
tbeso states will be led through sorrows
compared to which tho woes of recon-
struction will bo as the fading dews of
morning lo tbe roaring flood.—Extract from
Ileury Grady's speech at tho stato fair.
"THE DAY OF RECKONING."
The principio of protection by tariff is
that the. consuming, laboring classes shall
be taxed by tho Increase of prico of tho
goods manufactured by tho capitalist. This
is u/ged as tho means of enabling him to
competo with foreign-made goods which
could bo purchased cheaper by tho con-
sumer. in other words, that the profits oi
his business must be inade satisfactory to
tbo minor, manufacturer, and iron mongor
by a law enacted for his benefit. Protec-
tion does not mean with tills class that it
shall have all the freedoms of othor citizens,
be secured in the enjoyment of their prop-
erty aud in tho uninterrupted pursuit of
their business. It means ho must have
special help and tbo people taxed for tbo
benefit of his business—tho poor man labor
for him, that lie may thrive and grow rich.
The result of this systom, if perpetuated,
will be to increase tho class of millionaire
aristocrats and give ub a corresponding in-
crease of the tolling poor who will be de-
pendent on the rich for the means of sup-
port for themselves and families. In time
tho pressure on the poor will become so
heavy that th$ lines will bo distinctly drawn
between tho rich und the poor—tbe capital-
ist with Ills wealth, the toiler with his pov-
orty. Then tho mad cry of pain will be
hoard in our land, and uprisings such as
we have not yet seen on the part of the op-
pressed laborer, that will shake tho foun-
dations of our ropubilcan form of govern-
ment. Tbe strikes of tbo past are but pre-
monitory Bigns of the comiBg storm. That
storm will Inevitably come if the present
system of extortion from labor for the ben-
efit of capital is perpetuated. It was pre-
cisely the same principle that brought on
tho French revolution, that upheaved the
French monarchy aud introduced a revo-
lutionary chaos that deluged that country
In blood. The government had boon run
for conturlcs In the Interest of the nobility;
the people only livod and worked to be
taxed that tbo favored class might be made
richer and enjoy tho luxuries that wealth
could give. This government, it is truo,
is not being used for its titled class of noble-
mon, but the principle Is the same when
its legislation is for the benefit ol a class ol
mere rich capitalists, who have the audac-
ity to insist that the masses shall be taxed
to increase their gains. In time tbo labor-
lug massos will underalaud all this, and
then conies tho day of reckoning.—Nash-
ville American.
Hail road Hen.
The engineer whose humanity Is not
hardened has his feelings harrowed occas-
ionally by pedestrians who risk their lives
on the tra¿k. Tramps and other careless
persons are bo numerous that the casual
passenger In a locomotive cab geuerally
cannot rido fifty miles without seeing what
seems to him hair-breadth escape, but
which Is nevertheless treated by the en-
gineer as a commonplace occurrence. These
heedless wayfarers do, however, occasoin-
ally carry their indifference to danger too
far, and tbey ore tossed In tho air like
feathera. Doubtless thero are tbo*e who,
like lhe fireman who talked with tbe tender-
hearted yonng lady, regret tbe killing of a
man chiefly "because it muaiei up tbe en-
gine *0 but, taking tbe fraternity a* a
whole, warmth of heart and tendero*** of
feeling may be called not only well-devel-
oped but prominent traits ef character.
The great strike on tbe Chicago, Burling-
ton ft Qalney road laat spring, which
proved to have been lli-advl*ed, would have
been poasible only In a body of men actu-
ated by the most loyal friendship. Un-
doubtedly a large conservativa element in
the Brotherhood of Kegineers believed the
move lnjudielout, but they Joined la It out
of an intenso spirit of fidelity to thtir
brethren and leaders.

deomed necessary to give apice to the talk
of the caboose and roundhouse. He calls u
gravel train a "dust express," und refers
to the pump for compressing air for the

fireman'* prosaic labor* aro lightened by
being poetically mentioned a* tbe haudling
of black diamonds, and tbe mortification of
being called into the superintendent's
office to explain some dereliction of duty is
disguised by referring to tho episode as
"dancing on tho carpet."—B. B. Adams, Jr.,

Cleveland baa Nothlnsr to Regret.
Washington.—The prosident takes tbe
result philosophically. He talked quite
freely about the returns nnd the inoreated
Republican vote*, but expre(sed not the
slightest regret in tho world at any action
ho bad taken during bis administration.
Ho i* willing to admit tliat his position on
tho tariff aud the decided stand ho took in
favor of revenue reduction may have lost
him a good many votes, but bo still main-
tains that if it were to do over again he
would follow tbe dictates of his conscience.

Watch Yours Billa.
Government officials aro of the opinion
that an organized attempt was made Thurs-
day evening to put in circulation a dan-
gerous counterleit, whlcV they knew was In
tbo city and bavo liocn on tho look out for
since last July. Lust August twenty Itnl-
ions formed a syndicate 1 n New York City
for tho tiiariuIncline of spurious money.
Gntavo Itusso, a liotod counterfeiter, was
cashier. Plates for $1 aud $5 silver cer-
tificates were purchased, and If 10,000 were
struck oil'. But they wcro caught at tbo
work and nine of them arrested, and the
gang broken up. Russo was sentenced ior
ten years to tho Erie county penitentiary,
and his wife, Rosa, was seut to. tho New
York housu.of correction for four y oars. Tbe
others were sent to different ponitontlaries
In New York stato. Only a small part of
tho bogus money was captured, aud the
plates were nover found. It was ascer-
tained that tbo ¡¡?10,0tll) In counterfeits liad
been divided into ten lots, and shipped to
different cities. It was known that Chicago
KOt $ 1000 of It, aud it is this money the de-
tectives have been after stuco last July.
Friday last, for tho iirsf. time, one of thoso
uotes camo into their hands. Thursday
evening about 8o'clock a young lad bourded
a Slate street car at Twenty-sixth street,
aud offered tho conductor, Mr. Jauson, a
!?.") bill for his iaro, and quickly ¡fot oil'altor
getting his change. Tbe young fellow's
actions were so suspicious that tho con-
ductor examined tho bill moro carefully,
and come to tho conclusion that It was
counterfeit. He reported tho matter to In-
spectoi Porter, and was told that his sus-
picions were correct. Ho said that several
other conductors had been victimized In
tho Bame way. The detective, howover,
could only llnd one othor man who would
admit that lie bad received tbo bogus
money, and he bad passed It agalu. From
tho fact that the "stuff" has been so long
"under cover" in the city, tho officials
think that tbo street car incldont is only
ono attempt In many, on the samo ovenlng
and in different parts of tbe city, to pass
bogus bills. Tho whole number of victims
will not be known for a number of day*.
Lucas & Co's. counterfeit detector de-
scribes the counterfeit as follows: Tho $1
silver certificate 1b of tbe series of August
4,1880; Its genoral appearance Is good; the
portrait of Martha Washington Is coarso
and scratchy ; tho words "United States"
looks as If made from a wood cut, and tho
shading Is coarse. Thero are no parallel
silk threads, and the seal 1* very pale.
The fl) sliver certificate looks good, and
the color oi tho figures and tbo seal is well
done. The bust of General Grant has a
blurred appearance, and two white spots
on tbe lower lip. An Imitation of the *1lk
thread is mado by the drawing ol parallel
lines on the surface. This noto 1b danger-
ous and Ukoly to decelvo.
