FARMERS' ALLIANCE, SOUTH.
The recent conference of presi
dents and other high executive offi
cers of southern alliance organiza
tions, which met at Firuiiugham,
Ala., was timid in giving advice,
but its address leaves no room for
dcubt as to its real etlect. It is
bound to be interpreted as a wet
blanket upon independent political
actiou. The members of that con
ference are democrats first and alli
ance men next. The (states repre
sented were Tennessee, Alabama,
Georgia, Mississippi, West Virginia,
Florida, Missouri, Texas, Kentucky
and Louisiana, ten in all. Virginia
and Carolina were conspicuous for
their absence.
The action ol this conference was
due to the fact that the southern
democrats are afraid to divide tin
on any issue, national or state, for
fear the republicans might slip in.
"White supremacy and home rule"
is still their cry. At the north the
two great parties are divided on live
national issues, but at the south the
bogy man of an irrational appre
hension stands in the way of intel
ligent politics. It is only because
the democrats keep up the
color line in politics that it contin
ues to exist. Take Alabama, for ex
ample; there is a largo element
there which would be glad to go
with the republicans in- favor of
protection, for the iron end coal of
hat 'ate are better thru '.i.'itus of
" ' and silver, provided only pro-,
m be maintained. Many
andsof the 120,(0 democrats
:at state would regret exceed-'
.,iy to have the free trade democ
racy rule congress and repeal the
McKinley act, but they are so
afraid of "negro rule" in the state
that they can not be got away from
the old party.
The Omaha convention will no
doubt contain a good many dele
gates from the south, but the sup
port of the Omaha ticket is not to
be made a test of loyalty to the
farmers' party. A9 well not have
any tanners alliance ticket 111 the
south. It is none the less true that
the south has far more sympathy
with alliance ideas than the north-
Were it not for the paralyzing fear
of "negro supremacy" the alliance
might carry several southern
stales. As it is there is not the re
motest prospect of it. Inter Ocean.
TAR IN THE ARTS.
in tne preparation ot tar, pine
wood, which is unfit for use as tim
ber, is usually employed. It is cut
into billets of a suitable size, which
are arranged into large conical
stacks, or, as is sometimes the case
in Europe, are closely packeu in
clay furnaces of a suitable shape.
The stacks or piles are covered
with a layer of earth and ignited
above, and the draft is regulated no
is to sustain a slow combustion
without llame. The tarry products
ns they itre formed, gradually de
scend and collect in a cavity at the
base of Uie pile. Hie tar as ob
tained by slow combustion as de
scribed above, is largely employed
in the arts for various purposes
and when divided into its constitu
ent parts is in one form or another
daily prescribed by the best physi
cians. It has long been known for
its great anti-septic and healing
qualities, and for external use has
been prepared by Messrs. Jas. S
Kirk & Co. in a most convenient and
delightful form, in their Dusky Dia
mond Tar Soap. In this form it
should be classed among the
necessities of every household; it
is equally suitable for the delicate
skin of the mother or the baby and
the hardened cuticle of the work
man, keeps the skin soft, clear and
healthy, is a sure cure and preven

THE FUTURE FOR FARMr.RS.
The American Agriculturist is of
the opinion, after careful research
and conservative investigation, that
American farmers, as a class, are
more prosperous and in a beiter con
dition to-day, both mentally and
fin incially, than they were one year
ago. There is thus a most hopeful
outlook for fanners during the year
before us. The country generally is
prosperous and affluent, which
means that the people have a good
purchasing power. Where fanners
can find a ninrket clone to hand, they
generally obtain more remunerative
prices than if compelled to ship
their produce abroad. It is thus to
the interest of nil fanners to help
build up their own particular sec
tions, thereby providing markets at
their own doors. If these fail, or are
lacking, we have the world before us,
and we believe that C exports of
our domestic produce in the pros
pectiTe season will approximate
even those of the unprecedented
season just completing. This may
seem a rash conjecture, but let ns
analyx it.
We have still available nil the
markets that have heretofore been
open to us, and even to a greater ex
tent, for one result of low prices
is a larger consumption, and when
people once become accustomed to
consuming Ameicran products,
they will continue to demand them,
even if prices be higher, because the
quality was satisfactory. In addi
tion, we have a larger number of
new markets opened to us-through
the reciprocal trade relations that
have but recently been established.
Heretofore such markets, with their
millions of people creating a large
consumptive demand, were practic
ally closed by the high tariffs im
posed upciii our production, but we
now enter them as a favored nation
and at an advantage over our com
petitors in the world's food supply.
