At the lower figures, for ilie same amount of in oicy llie lucrcbnnl handles doiiblo ihe nuiuber of pounds and inakc- double the per cent. It is to bis intetc-t then to handle low priced goods. Hut the truth is, the A'liince is stronger in the North-west thin it is in the South, and the or{,nni/a'ioti there is fighting just us hard ''or high priced corn and bacon as we are for low prices. The two interests are not identical. It is very much like two boys ece-s.awiug on a pole: the big boy keeps the lit'le one tip at pleasure. The price of provision, however, liko everything else, will be governed by supply and demand. As to forcing up tlie price of cotton, the Alliance bad very little to do with it. Within the la-t few j cars a great many cotton factories have been built all over the cotton belt, and the owners sought new markets for tluir products'in the count lies < of I'.urope. Asia, and the Isl.s of the sea, and the result was higher prices for cotton. I.o niiitutlactones im-rciue until the South spins every pound of cotton she grows and controls the -ale of it, and wo may tltrn cx i.. ...,i;,.. >.. i,?^. ?nii ... Hut there arc c mtngenc'cs that may roniovc the day of this golden harvest to the cotton planter far beyond the day of any living nmii. The force bill may disorganize the labor and industries of the South and contribute t > the delay of this better era. The election of Capt. Tilhuna would doubtless check the (low of capital iuto the State and stop the growth of cotton factories. This is not merely the imaginary theory of tut alarmist. The prcspcct of his election has alrca ly caused our bonds to drop front 1 <> ?A to 99j. His election may create a fiictiou in the government that may prove a serious matter to the tax payer*. Hut the strongest objection to Capt. Tillman temains to be told. The s'congest and most distinguishing feature in tho national plat 1' rm is the tariff plank. That was the i-sue in 18s* as it will he in 1892 and Capt. 1: lmati'.s sneering remark that "Clovelnnd was whipped out of his hoots on that issue"' only proves Tillman's infidelity to the democratic party. We are told thnt his brother has voted with the republicans on the tariff for the last I'd years. Itolh of them will doubtless to with that party in 1892. No taan catioppiso the strongest plank in the pin f fin of the democracy and he a thoroughbred. out and out democrat. 1 hope tho day will never come when we avid elect a half horse and half all gator governor of South Carolina. livery one must hnvo noticed how Capt. Tiliman has avoided the discussion of the tariff during this campaign. It is idle talk for any man to say we are not concerned about the tariff when for every dollar of t i\cs we pay the State the national government scoops in from us fllT. The tar.

And the nomination of Tillman subject to the approval of the democratic convention docs not ii-'guise the opposition that was and is in it to to democracy, flu*re is no analogy I etiweti the nomination of ('apt.

The latter is t imply the presentation of a choic:?one as he or ihcy believe best fitted to represent evert/ e'.a-s ..f citizens ; while the March f'otiventi'-n \v,is a ela-s convention, putting forward a class candida'c to represent : single class f i'.izi us aid backed by a class executive milliner.

" TUB ALLIANCE DEPARTMENT. N. 0. LITTLKJOHN, - Editor AS BURY. .S. C. CROSS KEYS dirt first. The Alliance Editor visite 1 the IYjss Keys neighborhood this week and fouod it one of the best Agricultural sections in the up-country. It is not often that wc can find level fio'ds containing a hundred and more acres of cotton in one unbroken body, but such is to be seen in the beautiful country around Cross Keys. Then we found it an intelligent and very hospitable coma unity. We were informed that tnest of the people were in easy circumstances; that there was plat/// of money in that j art of the county, Hud everybody were perfect gentlemen hikI ladies; that even the very poorest had principle enough to tnako their word their bond. Well,| if that be correct the r% sy light of the millennium morning is surely begiuuing to dawn on that community, "when the lion and the lamb shall lie down together?without the lamb being inside the lion." EXTRACTS FROM PREST. L L. POLK'8 ADDRESS. (?'OSTISt'KI?.) Every man is in the sntne boat with the farmer and when lie goes down you will sink with him. Even Jay Gould with his fabulotto vvvullli voultl not li ?o (nclro mtntKu without the farmer. Mr. Dodge tells us that it is over-production that causes the financial trouble among the firtners; that we aro so poor because wc are so rich : Wonderful logic!?Laying ^ the blame of our trouble, on High Heaven. J God never makes mistakes, my friends. There is nor cau there bo overproduction in any country, when there is a singlo child crying for bread. They tell us a dollar will buy more than ever before. Hut where is the dollar? A tramp in a certain city the other day inquired where lie could procure his dinner, liewas pointed to an eating house, where a square meal Could he h id for <>nhf I't t nty-firi cruts. Cii iug off in ilie direction pointed, lie suddenly turned and asked his infurinaut where he coahl procure the 'JGcts ? When wheat was $2.00 per bushel nul cotton 20cts. per. pound there was $62 per capita for every inhabitant in the United si?tes: now when cotton is lOcts. (litre is ?7. for each inhabitant. The Kansas farmer wott'd willing:y sell his corn for I (lets, per bushel, but after the 11. 11. tariff is paid, lie can't realize even that amount. I.cgis'atiou for the last 20 years lias been an iniquitously one-sitled affair?to the interest of banks, monopolies, trusts und combines. You and 1, brother Farmers, have had aspirants for congressional honors t > tell us they were devoted to the wolfare of the people, and all they wanted was for us to pities thetu upon the wa'chtowers of the nation and . they would zealously guard our interests.
