Show SHPIT OF THE PRESS. A Uouiooratto Ally, Chicago Timo.:. The fanners' alliance, or the people's party, may make some impression upon the next presidential campaign. In the south they are democrats; in the north republicans in tho main. While the color lino endures they are not likely to make any impression in the southern stat3. In the north they may inuster in sulliciont strength to give various states to the democratic party, Minnesota, Minne-sota, for instance, or Kansas, or Ne- br&ska, or South Dakota. Let the supposition sup-position be indulged that they can carry one or more of these stals, there would bo no loss to the democratic demo-cratic party. If the eloction should be so close that, the farmers' alliance having hav-ing carried certain states, there would be no positive majority for any candidate candi-date in the electoral colleges aggregated, aggre-gated, tho choice of a presidunt would then devolve, upon the house of representatives, repre-sentatives, voting by utates. Iu such event the republican candidate would be nowhere. The democracy have nothing to fear from the farmer's activity in politics. The galled jade is the republican party. Though he may not confess it, the farmer is a democratic demo-cratic ally. HriKlit milium Outlook. New York financial and Mining Kecord. The future is bright. Large crops of more than ordinary quality, and quite extraordinary prices for them under such conditions, are a safe reliance for at least ordinary if not a reasontble hope for extraordinary prosperity. True, there aro disquieting aud discouraging discour-aging prospects in the European situa tion, Put while these ought to temper, they need not dismiss our gratification with the outlook. We can sympathize with sufi'ering and we must; and we can pity if we need; but we can also justly rejoice in our own condition of prosperity, even viewing the adversity that we regret. All of which is merely proface for our remark that, in our opinion, the situation must continue to improve. Set-backs witl be temporary only. Tiie tendency is fixed. Conservative Conser-vative and scriititiizinst investors in this market now, we think are safe. It haa li.nelilou All. Boston Advertiser. The fanners of the west are not finding find-ing very much fault with the McKinlcy bill. Duringthe past month tho United Stute-t exported il,!l!i,?'i5 bushels of wheat :is compared with :!,'Ml.!)i);t bushels bush-els in July, lv'-Mi. Jn other words tho farmers of the West have made from the sal u of their wheat abroad over three times as much money as they did in tho samo period two years ago. Will somebody kindly point out any section of the country that tho McKinley bill has failed to benolit! Mony in E trope. St. Loui-s Globe Democrat. The latest ollieial statements show that the big banks in tho chief nations of Europe are in line shape with funds at present. This is fortunate. They will soon have to part with a good deal of their gold for shipment to the I'liited Slates in payment for tho great exports of lireadstulis from here. |
