The RwdL World accredits the
following prophecy to Abraham
Lincoln.
eyes wemay congratulate ourselves
that this cruel war is nearly TO aclose.
It has cost O vast amount Of treasure
and blood. The best blood Of the
flower Of American youth has been
freely offered upon our country's altar,
that the Nation might live. 1t has
been, indeed, a trying hour for the
Republic, but sec in the near future
a crisis approaching that unnerves nae
and causes me to tremble for the safe
ty ofour country. As a result Of the
war. corporations have been enthron-
cd, and an era Of corruption in high
places will follow, and the money
power Of the country will endeavor to
prolong its reign by working upon the
preiudices Of the people until all
wealth is aggregated in a few hands
and the Republic is destroyed. Ifeel
at this mornentmore anxiety for the
safety Of my country than ever before
even in the midst Of the war. God
grant that my suspicious may prove
groundless."

"THEFARAIERs MUST KEEP OUT
FPOLITICs."

So weare told by the would-be
bosses But thore are some questions
the hrd-handed sons Of toll would
like to have answered.
Through what influence has il been
made possible under our form ofgov-
eminent for trusts, combines, pools,
syndicOtes and monopolistic Conspira-
cies to be formedI Upon what inau-
ence do they depend for perpetuating
their power9 Why did the people
Of North Carolina, Texas, Arkansas
and other States fail last winter to got
a railroad commissionH Through
what influence was tbe iniquitous
financial policy Of our government
established, by which the National
Treasury is filed with millions of
hard.earned money Of the people,
while tho business Of the country is
choked for want Of a circulating med
iumi Through what influence did
one-third of the American Senate boz
come millionaires, amajority Of whom
q few years ago were poor menf
Through what influence is the popu.
lation Of this country he-
ing rapidly resolved into two classes-
tho extremely rich and the extremely
poori Through what influence Id
power being stolen from Che many
and given TO the few2
There is one answer to all. II has
been done through the influence Of
designing, corrupt political manipu-
lators.
Yea, verify, the farmers should keep
out Of such politics, but they should
rise in their might and power and
hurl from place these profaners ofthe
Temple Of Justice. Progressive

The eyes ofthe world are upon us

what are Politics.

From the Dakota Rurallst.
What arc politics7 The science OF
government. The regulation Of cur
own affairs as a commonwealth, in
which each citizen has an equal right
It is the ono plano Of equality where
the man without a dollar is the
peer Of the millionaire. So long as we
are citizens it is not only our right
but it Is our duty TO take O part in the
government Of our own affairs.
Should we as q class2 1t is too late
in tho day to ask that question. II
class organization is Objectionable
then the question should have been
raised long ago when the classes and
professions organized and as q result
have secured special Legislation
in their interest-with us it is simply
a matter Of self defense. We find
every other class, profession and in
dustry organized and each securing
Legislation in their interest with anu
tual understandingto work together
as q whole, and "the farmer pays for
all. 1t therefore is exceedingly unjust
that we, the last to organize, should be
made the special target and warned
against doing just what all other
classes have been permitted TO do in
thepast We have submitted so long
and patiently that we have been ig-
nored as q factor in the government
OF the nation. We are treated as
wards Of the politicians who when O.
lected to legislate for us, boldly state
in contemptuous tones that the far
mers do not know what they want.
