repeSt these complaints and ring the game
changes over and over again, in season and
out Of season, until they themselves and many
Of our class really believe that the tillers OF the
soil are the most industrious, moral, inteii-
gent, abused, prosecuted lambs in the world
and all else arc wolves, seeking whom they
may deysur. Mary of these complaints are
true, but should not farmers be somewhat
ashamed OF themselves that such is the fact !?
Here is . class OF people exceeding all others
in numbers and the elements which go to con
stitute wealth, claiming superior industry,
intelligence, and morality, complaining of be-
ing oppressed! In order that We may take
candid look at the situation, aud see If We
cannot discover what is the matter, we pro-
pose united effort and general inquiry on
the part Of the farmers. Saturday, August
Sd, at 10 a. M, is fixed as the time for holding
the next meeting Of the Farmers Cow ention,
and Eagle Hall the place. Let all endeavor to
be there and each do what he can to find out
if there is any good reason why the great ma
jority should be governed and oppressed by q
small minority. Respectfully.

have for long time regarded the slime

party politics, of virtually compelling candl-
dates for popular official station to 60 around

ences to create convention favorable to their
own nomination, as tho "missing link" in our

over the machinery OF party, make their will
actively felt In the government, and maintain
themselves the masters instead of allowing
themselves to descend by insensible degrees
to tho position OF servants of their own sery-
ties and powers of the people, and to the full
integrity and independence OF their official
agents. A republican system of government
can not long be maintained in a state of SIM
pliclty and purity, where by far the most I'M
portant OF the two forms that ara concerned
in our popular elective system, viz: the nom

party ticket are virtually lett to and exercised
by the official classes and those seeking office.
The people have long felt the necessity Of a
radical change in this respect, and indeed it

In seeking Office, therefore, for the first
time, shall set aside many OF the usual meth

good sense of the people for my chances be-

In making these remarks, l 90 not intend
TO cast the slightest reflection upon any per-

against the longer continuance OF a feature in
our elective system, already prolific Of great
evils, and sure In the end, if not corrected in

prerogatives Of the people. Neither shall [
refuse the fair, open and honorable efforts
that may be made by friends in my behalf, to

An Address.

1t is through an order of an earnest assem-
bly, of your fellow tillers of the soil that thus
address you. Notwithstanding our lots are
cast In fertile lands and beneath perennial
skies, it is fact that our situation - farmers
in this valley need looking after. 40 sooner
have we by dint of per,eversne and hard
icks succeeded in saving alsrgo p Of grain
than ring OF small-calibre Boss 1 seeds APP
pear in our midst, plotting and planning for
the preparation OF the most gigantic swindles
and frauds and to thus rob US Of the fair fruits
OF our industry. No doubt many an over
worked farmer is wondering why an inscru-
table Providence permits such men to live In
free country, but that they do live, thrive
increase,is a stern fact we've got to deal with,
nor will 1t help the matter for US to indulge in
hearty growl at all other industries con-
bined to Cypress US. This has been tried long
enough. We've growed at the mechanic, the
merchant, the miller, the railroad and thu
commission men, and at every thing that live
by using its wits in spongin: upon and in op
pressing the farmer. Speakers at agricultur.

Rapid Threshing.

WICHITA, July %, 1878.
Ed. EAGLE-Whilst every one is speaking
and writing of their wheat crops, it behooves
me to keep silent, for my crop has not aver.
craged forty bushels per acre. The cause OF
its falling short of the general average was
not for want OF good climate and soil. but
poor farming. The quality OF the wheat is
good and will grade well, Messrs. Devor 81
Carlton did my thrashing. with anew Masilon
machine. They do excellent work. / timed
them on several occasions and they made two
and ons-fourth bushels per minute. They
will stake one hundred dollars on their ms
chine and thrash against any ten horse power
machine in the Arkansas Valley.
Yours respectfully,
