A Farmers view OF the situation

The great question which is now the
leading one with my brother farmers is
this How can we manage 10 get more
and save more, TO enable us to live rs
easily and accumulate as much money as
the average tradesman, mechanic, stock.
holder, or professional MANI Can We
do it by commencing at once to look out
for number one, just as the nou-producing
classes are invariably in the habit Of
doingi The time has come when the
farmer. who has heretofore quietly aided
in the development Of the country, and
who has cared little to know by what
combination those who followed other
occupations in few years amassed
princely fortunes, begins to see that the
prosperity that he witnessed must have
originated 10 a great extent in the com.
psrstiyely low price that he received for
the products Of his labor, and the rela.
lively high price that he had to nay for
everything that he was com mpelled to use.
He never dreamed that he was as much
entitled to protection rs the mauufactu.
rer. Hereafter the farmers intend TO
Gee about this little matter Of protection,
and TO know wby the several millions
who follow the plow should not be as
well protected as the few thousands Of
manufacturers whose proximity 10 the
national capital enables them to lobby
through whatever protective scheme
they undertake. The unrepresented
farmer who has heretofore quietly sub
miited to the powerful combination Of
capitalists will do so no longer. The
leaven Of progress is at work. Farmers
are becoming unified. They are deter
mined to think aud act for themselves
Western farmers are financially embar-
rassed, aud not one In thousand Will
say that he is getting i've per cent on
his investment Farmers do not want
the consumer to pay more than fair
price for what he gets, but they do want
the pork and grain gamblers to 60 to
work like honest men, and with hands
brown with toll, earn what they eat and
wear. As We before said. the time has
come for the farming class to look out for
number one that is, more for them
selves and their interests. In order to
do this they must organize, and then
work together for the common good Of
all. The farmer Of the future is 10 be
better educated in the line Of his profes-
sion. He Is yet to become believer in
statistics. He will soon appreciate the
value Of crop statistics, and will inform
himself Just as the speculator does now,
as to the amount Of the grain supply.
This, in connection with still more
complete system of crop reports, will en-
able the farmer To know as much about
the true condition of the market as the
speculator himself. Then we may nat.
urally expect TO see farmers union grain
elevators. so managed that temporary
advances can be made on grain in store,

importance Of Reading.

No matter how obscure the position
in life of an individual, if he can read,
he may at will put himself in the best
society the world has ever seen. He
may converse with the greatest heroes Of
the past; with all the writers in prose
and poetry. He may learn how to live.
how to avoid the errors of his predeces-
sors, and to secure blessings, present and
future, to himself He may reside in a
desert, far away from the habitations Of
man; in solitude, where no human eye
looks upon him with affection or interest,
where no human voice cheers him with
its animating tones, If he has books to
read he can never be alone. He may
choose his company, and the subject Of
conversation, and thus become contented
and happy, intelligent, wise, and good.
Young people should heed these truths.

FAILURE OF JAY. COOKE & CO.

A telegram from New York to the ed
itor Of this paper this afternoon announ-
ces the failure Of the great banking house
of Jay, Cooke & Co. Railroad men here
attribute the failure to the attempt Of that
house to carry Northern Pacific r. r.
bonds,-a project for road which is at
least ten years ahead of the requirements
Of the country The effect of the failure
will probably be to depreciate railroad bonds
generally, and to cause a distrust Of all
American securities throughout Europe.
4 good effect OF the failure, we hope, will
be to check the reckless, headlong course
of great business men who have been ac-
cumulating vast fortunes, in this country,
which ought 10 be scattered among the
people and to expose the corrupt rings of
Credit Mobiliers which exist in nearly all
our great corporations.

Needs Attantion

The Union charges that Policeman
Roatch, a few days ago carried his uni
form and star over to a disreputable house
near the Davenport fair grounds The
charge demands immediate investigation.
and the editor of the Union should be
called before the Mayor to substantiate it
or give his authority for it. If it is true
Mr.. Roatch should be Immediately dis
missed-and if false it is due to him that
it be retracted
1t is melancholy fact that some persons
who are pretty good men go to the bad
very soon after becoming u policeman.
Men employed by the city to aid in pre-
serving good morals; restraing vice !;
hunting down criminals; preserving
order, and setting an example of
sobriety, uprightness, and respecta-
bility, seem to forget their duty,
yield to the temptations Of drink and the
Establishments of harlots, and go the bad.
Rock Island demands a sober, upright,
moral, and respectable body of policemen,
and if there is any man on the force who
don't fill this bill, he should be reported to
the City Marshal, with the evidence nee
essary to secure his instant removal The
police department is not a reform school,
where Incorporate and licentious men are
placed on probation. 1t is department
where men of the very best character are
required, and men who are not Of good re-
! pute should be discharged at once,
