THE FARMERS UNION.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 5. Wendell Phil
lips, in speaking of the policy of the United
States, said: I'VE have had a Farmers Re
public long enough. In the future the com.
merciai and manufacturing interests should
prevail in the policy of our government. "
For nearly quarter of century the policy
OF the government has unjustly discrimin-
classes of the country. The sectional and
class legislation has become so oppressive
upon the laboring ard producing classes of
all kinds that nearly every vocation of Ia
borers except agriculturists have formed
unions to protect themselves against the in.
justice and oppression of INSCRIPTIONS
monopolies. The 5000, 900 of agriculturists
in the United States are primarily the foun-
dation upon which all other vocations are
built In numbers aud in wealth they hold
in their hands the balance of power to pro-
tect themselves against the privileged clas-
ses that have been created by class and Sec
tional legislation. Among them them there
should be unity Of policy, for there is a
unity Of interest, but unity of policy and a
unity Of interest is of no avail unless there
is unity of action. Now, the question is,
how is this unity of action to be effected?
As cless they are scattered over such vast
territory that they cannot act as easily or
centralize their forces like other laboring vo-
cations that are chiefly carried on In cities
and villages. Without the surplus commod-
tiles of production which they send into
the markets commerce and manufactures
would have nothing to operate on. Our
5000, 600 OF agricultural laborers send into
the markets of the world a larger surplus
than any 10000 900 laborers in the world.
About 1000, 900 of our agriculturists are in
the valley of the Mississippi, and this vast
surplus is produced chiefly by them. as the
northern farmers generally do not produce
sufficient for home consumption.
Now, the country where the people pro
duce such vast surplus by every principle
OF political economy should be acquiring
wealth more rapidly than any other section
of the United States, but the facts are Just
the reverse. In the nine eastern states
where they consume more agricultural pro.
ducts than they raise, the people are accunu.
lating wealth more rapidly than In any other
section. This presents the question, Why
is it that the n0nproducers are getting rich
faster than the producers? The answer is
on account of sectional and class legislation
discriminating against the great agricultural
interests of the south and west. For in
stance the public domain, which has been
subdued by the western pioneer, has been
given to railroad monopolies to the exclu-
sion Of our western agricultural population.
The land, bonds and franchises given to the
Union Pacific has enabled it to possess the
entire southwestern railroad system and
place the agricultural population of this vast
country completely at the mercy of this mer.

A Seasonable Dialogue.

Shell never cared for progressive euchre

gressive tete-a tete.
He-Progressive tete-a-tete. What on
earth Is that?
She-Why, don't you know? It's sum-
mer resort amusement where everybody
tries to be as entertaining as possible for
points.
He-And do they change partners?
She-(with emphasis) -Frequently
He-But don't understand what regu-
lates the games or how the winners or losers
are decided.
She-O, those little matters always ad.
Just themselves-if the season is long

He-Something like Irritation, isn't it?
She-Yes, 10 does go by that name some
times.

Minister'S Sons.

The Rev. Mr.. B, of Oregon, has
two little boys, Matthew and Johnny,
who have been duly instructed as to
the exceeding wickedness of swearing.
But the seed seems to have fallen on
stony ground, for as their father was
getting an armful of wood he over
heard on the other side of the wood
pile the following conversation:
"Oh, Johnny" said Matthew, in a
coaxing but somewhat awe-struck tone,
''less swear"
"Lessr cried little Johnny cour-
ageously.
There was pause, during which
Matthew appeared to be considering
how to do it. Then he called out in
furious accents: II swear"
Tho do l." piped Johnny.
The younger of these two brothers
initiated the elder in everything. Once,
when they had been amusing them
selves with playing see-saw, they both
came running into the house flushed
with pleasure.
''Oh. ma" cried Matthew, II Sec
sawed way up to the Lord"
And Johnny echoed: "Oh, ma, I the
thawed way up to bod"
On another occasion Matthews
mother took him on her lap to impress
upon him the duty of obeying his par
ents and being kind to his little brother.
While receiving these instructions
Matthew g,zed at her with so much
earnestness that she felt sure a deep
impression was being made on his
young mind. But when she got
through, the pleasing illusion was dis
sipated by his remarking dryly: Your
chin goes up and down SO funny all the
time you're talkin'."
The grandmamma of these bows was
once obliged to reprove the younger
brother MY dear" said she solemn
ly. IF you tell lies God will not love
you. and when you die your soul will
not 60 to heaven"
What it'll my thoule" inquired
Johnny pleasantly.

isl am surprised that a child Of your
age does not know what his soul is.
1t isis it possible that you do not
know? Well, then-ahem! Pick up
grandmamma's specs. Johnny. There,
now. you may run out and play, nv

"Illtell you how to find out if he Is honest

him $40 bill and tell him to change it. II
