''How Farmer Sees it," published on
the first page of to-day's paper, should be
read; not only for its homelY truths and
amusing humor, but for its worth as a
straw in the political wind. 1t is IN
doubtedly the expression of the underIy-
ing thought Of every farmer who has
taken the time to inform himself about
the cause of that high taxation which has
transferred the money of the country from
the farms and fresides to the stone vaults
of the government treasury. It will be
seen that Sol Putnam lays all his troubles
at the door Of ''Protection,'' symptom
of the storm we have already foretold
which will, without stopping to make a
distinction between Protection and High
Tariff, sweep all away. The agricultural
population of this country is sore and
angry over farms mortgaged for millions,
while those millions are useless in the
National Treasury, and The Republican
resistance to the Mills bill, the FIRST low
tax measure that has been proposed, is
only increasing the storm.

POLITICAL NOTES.

Hon. W. H. Gillum of Rockville, Ind,
native of Augusta county, who has had
ten years experience as member of the
Indiana Democratic State Central Com
mittee, in private letter to Mr.. Jas. W.
Hess of the Roncever5e "Messenger," says
that Harrison is "as cold socially as the
topmost six feet of the North pole," and
makes no friends. And that with the
Railroad men. Knights of Labor, and
Greenbackers against him, he will certain
ly be beaten in Indiana.
The war between Senator Riddleberger
and the local Malone men at Woodstock,
eliminated in fight, Monday, at the Re
publican meeting there to elect County
Chairman. The Senator wanted j. L.
Keller, the chairman deposed by Malone,
elected, and the Malone men wanted and
elected W. W. Logan. A row ensued, in
chairman struck Senator Riddeberger on
the head. Amid great uproar the meet
ing hastily adjourned.
Hon. S. J. Hopkins, the Labor Congress-
nan for the Lynchburg district, announces
himself candidate for reelection. He
makes light of the ''so-called Labor con-
veption" recently held in that city, which
denounced him for supporting the Mills
bill, and says that one more such conven-
ton would give him big majority in the
district.
The first attempt to follow Mahones
programme for the election of the contest
ed Presidential electors at the COMPRESSION
al nominating conventions, has been at
tended with trouble. At the Republican
convention in Botetourt to send delegates
to their congressional conventions, a reso-
luton introduced instructing the delegates
to support James Mclaughlin for Presi-
Dental Electcr, met with so much opposi-
ton that it was withdrawn. The war is
transferred to the conventions.
A Nelson county correspondent of the
Harrisonburg Estate Republican" (which
is General Mahone's organ,) says:
Give US in this district candidate for
congress who is in accord with our State
Chairman, and we will carry it again by
1.5C0 or 1900 msjority.' He suggests
Mai. Geo. S. Stevens, of Nelson; E. W.
Hubbard. of Buckingham, and w. e.
Franklin. of Appomattox, as good mate
rial. A Buckingham correspondent of the
Richmond "Whig" says that Caesar Per-
kns, who is host among the Republicans
# that county, will probably go for E. W.
HUBBARD.

A few days ago the INDICATOR repro
duced the descriptions of the prosperity of
the country in Low Tariff days from 1916
to 1850, drawn by James G. Blaine and
James A. Garfield. and. pointing to the
present low price of wheat and the fact
that 100000 workingmen are On a strike
for living wages, all under High Tariff
tax, asked who could be said to be benefit
ed by that taXp Our neighbor, the Valley
Virqindan. adopts as reply to that ques-
tion an article from the Washington
Gazette, and adds, that 1.-THE whole coun-
try has reaped the advantages Of the pro-
tective policy and every class of citizens ha s
shared in the wealth and prosperity which
are its fruits" When our neghbor says,
s'protective policy" it means the present
High Tariff. Here is the Gazette's article:
'sIhe wealth in the Unit ID States in 1860
was sixteen thousand million dollars, one half
of which was destroyed during the civil war.
In June, 1887, our wealth touched the 1mme-
date figures of sixty thousand Millions earn
ing seven millions each day. In 1860 the
wealth of the United States was $415 per capt.
ia; in 1887, 81, 600 per capita. In these years
of protection the United States has earned
over one-half of the sum added to the worlds
wealth during that time. We nearly equal
Great Britain in that of iron and excel her III
the production of steel. In 1860 manufac-
lures in the United States amounted to ST,
$780, 900, 600; III 1887 to So, DOC, 600, 600. Our
total industries now amount to ST. 600, 000 600.
The Western States manufactured nearly as
much in 1887 as the whole country III 1860
The Southern States alone now make 10 per
cent. more pig iron than Was made in the
United States i'll 1860. The annual product of
the United States exceeds that of England by
more than one-half and trade is double
that of England. England has increased her
commerce less than six times since 1861 the
United States has increased her commerce
more than six times. While England has in
creased her export trade four times, the ex-
ports of the United States have increased eight
times. In these years, from the third produc-
ing power, we have risen to the first. Up to
1860 the entire exports of the United States
were SO, 00O, 600, 600; since then they have
amounted to $4,000, 600, 000."
These are noble, swelling figures and are
tossed off by the Gazette with the flippant
air of a Treasury clerk, used to counting
millions, rather than the air Of q
farmer counting his cents for bushel of
wheat, or laboring man counting his
weeks wages. The exhibit of national
wealth is astounding in its magniicence.
Let us see what it is in its realty. What
sort of wealth made up this Sixty Thousand
Millions? Have the farmers got it? Let
US take specimen from the States whose
wealth was not DESTROYED during the
civil War'' and figure it out. Here Is list
of the amount of mortgages held on farms
Jan. l, 1888, in nine Western States
that did not feel the civil war:

These are the nine most prosperous
States in the "prosperous" West, and that
is the way the farms located in them
stand. What part of the great National
Sixty Thousand Millions of wealth do YOU
suppose the farmers who are sweating IN
der this gigantic burden of mortgages
hold?
But perhaps If the farmer don't hold it
the workingmen have got it about
in their pockets. The per capita wealth
of the people of the United States
is 81 900. That is good showing. Does
the true meaning of this per capita when
applied to National wealth ever strike
you? Here it is: Carnegie is worth $10,-
600 900. Jones, one of the puddlers at his
iron works is worth $40, if the family COW
is thrown in. aud Smith who dumps the
iron cast is worth $2-total $40 900 ,O42
= When the per capita is taken. Carnegie,
Jones and Smith are put down at S., $780,
347 each. The two Vanderbilts are worth
$213 200, 600 and the per capita of Smith
and Jones with them would be $53 $50 ,O1O
These figures appear absurd, do they not?
Alas; they are not. This is country of
High Tariff Millionaires and paupers, and
its per capita of wealth is not far from
being made up just that way. No one can
be deceived by those high sounding figures.
Jones the puddler. and Smith the bumper,
and Brown the mortgaged farm holder,
and all the rest of them know that tbey
have very little of the per capita-the
"whole country" may have reaped the ad-
vantage of the High Tariff policy, but
they ouly got the straw. There are
thousands of millions OF dollars of wealth
in this country, but those dollars, under
the workings of High Tariff, are not in
the hands of the people They are in the
hands of the great corporations, the Car
negies, the Wand orbits, the Levi P. Nor
tons and the Jay Goulds. No array in
figures of per capita wealth can deceive
the people into thu belief that then have
it, or that it is On the mOrtgaged farms or
lin the workshops.
But-and here our neighbor drops the
yelling figures of the Gazette and takes
the argument-the strikes OF the wo TX

CLEANED FROM THE MILLS

A social camping party of about one hun
dred ladies and gentlemen, left Lewisburg,
VIVA, July 25. for the Blue Sulphur Springs.
Among the ladies was Miss Lily Patton of
Staunton. Croquet, recitations. driving, and
lawn-tennis made up the amusements, and at
night the music around their camp fire brought
in large audience.
The yellow fever is an epidemic at Jackson
vile, Florida, and all who could leave have
left. There have been 25 cases and deaths,
the last death being the Division Superinten-
dent, B. F. Dillon, of the W. U. Telegraph Co..
Lime, tar and sulphur are being burned in
the streets.
Tt appears that there is no longer any room
to doubt that Robert Garrett, Elk. President of
the B. g. o. Ry., is insane. He is at the Bre-
WORT House, in New York, in charge of ply
clans.

MUCH BETTER THAN SHOOTING
THEM

Gen. Ben. Harrison thinks that ''troops''
are the thing to put an end to labor dis
putes with. The Old Bandanna takes a
different view of it. The coal miners of
Hooking Valley last week sent delega-
tion of fifteen miners to wait on Allen e =.
Thurman at Columbus, and invite him to
visit tue Valley and make speech or, if
he couldn't do that, to hold a reception at
some central point in it. 1t appears that
two years ago the miners and mine owners
Of that Valley could not agree on wages,
and both sides agreed to submit the mat
ter to Mr.. Thurman aud abide by his de-
cis1on. The old Roman decided that the
miners ought to have an increase of Ten
per cent. in wages. The decision was
abided by, the ten per cent. advance given,
and the following year the mine owners
advanced yet another ten per cent volun-
tarily. Ever since that, the word of the old
Bandanna is sort of Supreme Court de-
cision to the Valley. His mode of settling
miners difficulties is regarded as much
preferable to shooting the miners.
