When a lank farmer, accompanied

PkkHAI'8 never in tlio history of tho
world has thcro boon as groat freedom
in discussing roligious faiths and sys

increased liberty of thought and speech,
but some of it is duo to modern lack of
rovoronco and to tlio spirit of license.
Thk Farmers' Allianco have chosen
Tun Scout as thoir official organ in
this city in which to oxprcss their

All matter intended for this depart

Tub Now York Jlorald has just put
in a now press capable of printing DO,'

It is a marvel of rapidity, does its work
well and with absolute certainty. The
Herald is to bo congratulated in hav
ing the fastest press in the world.
Union county should have an Agri
cultural Society by all means, if for no
othor reason than to givo tho wind
bag a chaneo to soli a fow pools on a
horso raco, run a "wheel of fortuno,"
or in soino way soft-soap a lot of the
unsuspecting pooplo who are always
to bo found at suoh places. Ho must
havo something to do soon or ho will
dio. His littlo sheet is not largo
enough to hold tho amount of wind ho
could turn looso in ono, wook, and ho
is endeavoring to got tho allianco or
somobody to put up some money t-o
that ho will bo bettor proparod to
spread himself. Thcro is ono ovidont
fact, if ho can got anybody to furnish
tho monoy in any undertaking, ho will
furnish tho wind. It is his stock in
trade, ami ho always has a plontiful
supply on hand.
Thk wind bag is using ovory means
to havo tho allianco "firo" Swinohart
from tho order, but at tho same time
has boon trying hard himself to join.
Ho says: "Will tho ordor lire him?
It must, or olso it must submit to gross
imposition, and it cannot afford to go
boforo tho public in tho character of a
groat reformatory ordor unless it can
ahow tho world that it can purify its
own ranks." Mao would no doubt
have "purified" or "paralyzed" tho
ranks had ho been given u show, but
we tiro pleased to say the alliance is on
very good footing, and is composed of
many of tho best men of the county
tho farmers and laborors and thoy
have no use for such wind bags and
chronic ollloo-sookors, who aro fishing
for rovenuo only. If tho alliance was
to bo dictated to by such Kihomurs it
would amount to nothing. Tho alli

Tho question of European crops of
-vhcat is now having considerable in
fluence in our market, and so far as
can bo gathered, tho influence which
will predominate in that market for
some titlio to come, will certainly bo
tho inilucnco of foreign markets and
foreign crops, p;frtieularly European
crops. The outside crops, such as tlio
Argontino Jlepublic, Australia and
India, havo already been gathered and
wo know practically how much wheat
and coin these countries will havo
available for export. So fur as tho
first named country is concerned, tho
crop is rather larger than we were led
to believe on tho ieports of extreme
damage done by tho drouth and other
destructive elements. India has a
very fine crop indeed, and no doubt
will export moro wheat than she has
over done before. Tho turn of tho
situation now rests with Europe, ond
in many eases tho crops over there aro
in a very precarious condition.
So far as tho crop is concerned in
this country, tho present outlook may
bo considered very satisfactory. Tho
report issued weekly by the Govern
ment Bureau has certainly had a de
pressing influence on the market
simply because they have been of a
promising character, and indicates be
yond question that wo sall, unless
something antes which shall materi
ally alter tho situation, havo tin ex
cellent crop of cereals. Tho recent
froBt cannot do much harm to wheat;
it may to corn. Hut, no doubt, this
has been overestimated, and there is
always a disposition on tho part of tho
farming community to complain about
tho weather and their crops. Tho
outlook at present is for a very satis
factory business, in consequenco of tho
satisfactory condition of tho crops.
MITCH CUV, JilTTIii: WOOL.
Ill Philadelphia tho owners of woolen
mills havo organized a club committed
to a defence of tho McKinloy bill.
Tin's bill protects those mill owners
from foreign competition. This pro
tection enables them to lower the grado
of their products and tit tho same timo
to advance thoir prices.
Tho Dry Goods Economist has had
an expert examine some of tho "all
wool" goods made by these same pro
tectionists. Hore is the result:
"This firm has sold in largo quanti
ties this season ti worsted fabric weigh
ing twonty-two to twenty-threo ounces,
varying in prico from a piece dyed
solid black at .fl.fiO to fancy weavers
from .1!L.(!2 to those containing silk
twist at $1.75. Tlio fabric is com
posed of a worsted warp made from
doluino wool, which entirely composes
tho faco of tho cloth and constitutes 28
per cont of its weight. Tho filling
makes tho balance of 72 per cent, and
is entiroly cotton and shoddy, in tho
proportion of 02i per cont cotton and
7 per cent shoddy.
"Wo havo also boforo us a liner fab
ric of tho sanio order in a fancy trous
ering selling at $2.42.1, to all appear-
aneo a solid worsted fabric, both faco
and back. An examination, however,
provos these appearai.oesarodecoptivo.
Tho fabric is of a class known as a fill
ing corp stripo, having a slight mix
ture of silk twist between tho cords.
Tho worsted is of threo-oighths and do-
laino stock, but ovory altornato pick of
filling is cotton, as is also tho warp be
tween tho filling corp and the back
warp. Thus wo liavo a ciotn which
every ono but an export would call
an all wool cloth, yet contains 21 per
cont of cotton and 79 por cent of
worsted."
No wonder theso tnon want protec
tion, but thoy aro no moro entitled to
it than aro nuikors of counterfeit money.
A DKMOmiATIO DAILY.

The "available cash in tho Trcasnry,
including tho national bank redemp
tion fund," is stated this month at
$53,700,000 by the secretary of the
Federal Treasury. As tho national
bank note redemption fund was $51,
200,000, tho available cash less this
fund is therefore $500,000 less than
nothing. This shows how the Treas
ury books aro being kept. The na
tional bank fund is chargeable against
the available cash, but to cover tho
deficit the total available cash is given
"including tho national bank fund."
Of course, it is possible to got at tho
deficit by comparing tho cash on hand
with its debt to the national bank fund,
but tho statement does not give tho
amount of that fund, and tho treasury
book-keepers aro reasonably certain
that not one man in every ten thou
sand will either recollect the amount
or have a memorandum of it.
After the misappropriation of this
fund wo havo a treasury juggle, in
which "availablo cash" of only $53,
700,000 is mado to "include" a dissi
pated fund of over $5-1,200,000. To
make oven this showing tho fractional
silycr in the treasury ($20,000,000) is
included, and the $25,000,000 or up
wards loaned out without interest to
"tho pet banks" is counted as if it
were actually in the treasury, though
Mr. Harrison is afraid to call it in.
Hut no matter how much facile book
kcoping is done, tho May statement of
tho condition of the treasury cannot
be prevented from bristling with tho
fact that with an increaso for this sin
glo month of $021,000 in tho debt tho
national bank fund has been wholly
spent and there is an existing deficit
of half a million. St. Louis Republic.
