Ten days ago the Fifth Iufautry, scatiered all over the siate was, at the request of of Gen. Miles, ordered to prepare to take the field. Two days later they were ordered to go the department of the Platte by Gen. Schotield. Any other regiment and in the army would have been easier | @ittee- A business meeting was to pay excessive prices for what they buy, in the way of tribute which is exacted for the support of favored interests, but it likewise circum- scribes their market, and subjects them to constant danger of over pro- duction. With unrestricted com- merce established between the Unit- ed States and the outside wold, the American farmer would enjoy the privilege of buying in the cheapest markets, and there would be an out- Jet for what he produces which would increase the demand and in- crease the prices. Mr. Blaine show- ed an understanding of the impor- tance of such an arrangement when he condemned the McKinley bill because it didn’t open up a market for an additional bushel of wheat or barrel of pork. A reduction of the tariff in accor- dance with the idea laid down in tke famous message of Mr. Cleveland would bring a measure of relief to the farmers which has not yet been properly estimated. The influence of the proposed reform can only be made apparent by carrying it inte operation. It would cheapen every implement used in the cultivation of the soil, and reduce the cost of ev ery article of fclothing which the farmer buys for his family, and in doing this it would augment the purchasing power of everything which the soil produces. The re- moval of the oppressive tax Which the tariff imposes would open up the way for the restoration of pros- perity to the agricultural interests and would do more than any thing else to obliterate the blight which has fallen upon the farming industry. As protection is the farmer's great- est foe, the energies of the Alliance ought first to be concentrated against that enemy. With that evil wiped out the various conspiracies against trade, which are classified under the head of trusts would fall to the ground, and consumers would once again enjuy the opportunities of fair competition. In seeking to ac- complish tariff reform the farmers have the sympathy of one of the leading political organizations of the country, not to speak of the thou- sands of voters of the opposition party who are becoming weary of paying a tax on their fealty to re- publicanism. The cure is entirely feasible and rational, because it ap- péals to the sober judgment of the people and commends itself to their intelligence. It can be accomplish- ed surely and speedily, and will bring relief for which the alliance is looking in other directions. It will greatly damage the cause of the alliance if that organization shall divide its strength and dissi pate its energies it experimenting upon impracticable papvaceas, when the true antidote for the depression which has overtaken the agricultu ral interests is so obvious and is al- ready within reach of the people. The farmers will make a serious mis take if they turn from the object ewhich has been brought within ther grasp by the campaign of education inaugurated by Mr. Cleveland to take up with visionary schemes which run counter to the established prin ciples and workings of finances, and promote false ideas of economy. A favorite idea of the alliance seems to be what is known as the sub-treasve ry plan of relief, under which circu lating notes would be issued upon deposits of the products of labor This preposition to force the gav- ernment into the busivess of a pawn- broker would be stubbornly oppos- ed by both of tke old parties, as neither of them could afford to give it their countenance. The alliance as champion of such a scheme of in flation would be left alone to make its fight against odds which would overwhelm it. By demanding from the old parties snch measures of re- lief av the agriculture interest is just- Emporia, Kan., Dec. 15.—J. D.
