True Brotherhood.
BY W. LINDSAY, MACHINIsT.

Foot to foot, no matter where,
Though far beyond my desired road,
If brother needs brothers care,
On foot I'd 90 and share his load.
Knee to knee no selfish prayer
Shall evei J from my lips ascend;
For those that act upon the squa.e
Henceforth ny prayer shall ever benC
Breast to breast. and thus l swear
A brothers secrets here shall sleep,
If told to me upon the square,
Save those am not bound to keep.
Hand to back, oh, type of love!
Sweet emblem TO adorn the skies,
Be this our work, below, above,
TO help poor fallen mortals rise.
Cheek to check, or mouth to ear
We all like sheep have gone astray;
May We good counsel give and hear,
Till each shall find better way.

AFRICAN HOME LIFE.

Self-denlat, he says, is the Key TO
civilization. These savages yield to
every appetite, regardless OF the rules
of God and man, and cease not until
every desire is quenched in brutal
repetition. That is the whole differ
ence between a bad man and good
one.
The African elephant is useless as a
helpmeet to man. In the days of the
Phoenicians the elephant was, accord
ing to history, good animal for farm
ing purposes and good pair OF
2-year-old steer elephants would plow
three acres and a half of new land
even among old ebony stumps and
half decayed mahogany rails, but now
he is emancipated. He hangs about
the plantations and tranps on the ge-
ranlum beds.
The only domestic animals there
are the crocodile and the flea. The
elephant declines to be domesticated,
but when annoyed has been known
to domesticate Congo gentleman by
knocking down a few palm trees with
him and then putting the balance OF
him in the ash barrel.
The only good point about the
crocodile and the only way in which
he is useful is the way of eating his
family sometimes while thinking
about something else. The male
crocodile very often eats up whole
primary school of little crocodiles and
then chases the teacher two OF three
miles across the fields.
Money on the Congo is iron mostly,
big spear head being worth as much
as an ordinary man or two women.
Women are cheap and illiterate.
Their aspirations are not high. An
elephants tusk is worth man, and
generally costs that much before you
get it. Men are adults at l3.
Cannibalism is rarely practiced in
cold blood but mostly after drinking
heavily and the maddening dances
and orgies which follow a victory; so
that possibly prohibition in Africa
might lead to a vegetable diet and ul-
innate civilization. Whether Africa
will ever go dry" or not, is very hard
to tell at this time and the outlook is
rather discourag.ng.

to do SO just as long as farmers will

dents had been debating the nomina-
tons of State officers, in perhaps the
conventions of both political parties,
to such an extent that no man, how
ever deserving and popular, could
possibly hope for political promotion
without first bending the knee to the
railroad presidents of the State, espe-
cially the one at the head of the R. &
D. system; that the charges of the
different railroads were unequal and
unjust and that these corporations,
creatures of the State, had become so
powerful and dictatorial that they had
already, or were about to take charge
of and become the master of their
creator, the State. And in my travels,
since the adjournment OF the Legisla-
ture, and direct contact with all classes
of people, while l often and every.
where hear denunciations loud and
deep against railroad corporations,
and against those Democratic mem
bers of the Legislature who with the
aid of the solid Republican vote de-
feated the railroad commission bill. [
have never, from the beginning of
the agitation of this question up to
the present moment, heard a solid
argument based upon facts and figures
tending to show the necessity or ad'
visibility of a railroad commission.
Yet, it is hard to comprehend how
the great majority of the most intelli,
gent people of the State with the ex
ception, of course, of subsinized news
papers, railroad attorneys and politi-
clans afraid of their shadow should
be SO outspoken, so earnest and so
determined in their advocacy of a
railroad commission or any other
measure unless there should be some
good reason for it.
Believing that this was a subject
worthy of serious consideration and
study, I have begun a careful investi-
cation of it and have concluded that
as I travelled along the pathway
which will lead me to the house of
knowledge, l would, for the sake of
good company, extend an invitation
to your readers to go along with me.

THE BIGGEST TRUST OF ALL.

Can any deny that there have
been laws enacted within the last
twenty-five years in this country for
the sole purpose of giving a compare
lively few of our people the power to
accumulate a vast amount of wealth
without labor. In that time over 5000
National Banks have been chartered.
Ever since those that were interested
in them have been making a continu-
Gus effort to have Congress give them
the entire control of the currency of
this country. They know if they can
obtain the control of the money of
this country they will have it in their
power to control the destiny of the
people. You all must know how sue
cessful they have been in carrying out
their selfish projects. What could be
more unjust, to not only the farmers,
but to those who are engaged in diff
ferent industries, than for our govern
ment to loan money to the National
Banks for n per cent, and then
give them the power to exact exorbit-
ant rates from those who are obliged
to have their money to transact their
business. Is it a very difficult problem
to solve why mortgages are increasing
in number and quantity on the farms,
and, as a consequence, the farmers
are becoming more impoverished every
year, when we consider the exorbitant
rates of interest they r compelled to
pay, and that those high rates of in
terest greatly increase the value of
everything they have to purchase 2
In the State of New Jersey the farm
ers petitioned the Legislature to have
the rate of interest reduced. The
bankers demanded that it should not
be done. Under our present political
condition they control a majority of

SMALLER CROPS AND BETTER
PRICES.

til small, not large crops that we
need more of. My minimum crops
have invariably been more profitable,
and | have heard many farmers make
the same remark. Would it not be
well for our farmers to combine to
produce less for a few years of all
staple crops, thereby thoroughly
cleaning up the surplus and getting
better returns for our labor than we
have received for the last decade?
Certainly we have the same right to
combine to limit production as have
coal or oil companies, millers and
manufacturers. Some may say that
it is our duty to ourselves and our
country to do our best in our
chosen calling-but best for whom ?
If we can do better by producing less
and getting for it, why not do
it, as long as other producers are do
ing the same thing and we have to
exchange our products for theirs?
Why should farmers be the only
class of producers that cannot estab-
lish a price for their commodities /?
When we buy we have to pay the
price asked; when we sell we have to
take the pittance the purchaser sees
fit to offer. Surely, no class Of labor
ers work as many hours for as little
pay as the farmer, and it is time our
calling vas o remunerative. Can
this be done by producing or
less? [ am of the opinion that Gen
eral Butler was right when he said
that "our trouble is not overproduc-
ton, but underconsumption, and the
question is, how shall we increase the
consumption of farm products ? Ger.
tainly not by increasing the quantity,
but by improving the quality. Every
one knows that soggy potatoes, stale
eggs, rancid butter, etc., last much
longer than good fresh No. / articles.
If all our food products were the very
best, much more would be consumed,
thus making a greater demand and
more remunerate prices. Many of
our wide awake farmers can make a
part of their productions an actual
necessity to one or more families in
our large cities at paying prices by
supplying these products regularly,
fresh, sweet and wholesome. I know
this by experience, for my customers
often tell me that they prefer to pur-
chase farm products of the producer,
especially eggs and butter.
It is laudible for practical farmers
to experiment, investigate and produce
maximum crops, but it is more profit
able to produce the best and get good
pay for them.-Amerscan AgrgcuHurast

One of the features of the session was

will be interesting:
Twenty.foDr years have passed since the

been marvellous, which is Indicative of the
