The ReseryoIr Plan Of Irrlgatlon.

Hon. B. f. Flinniked, private secro-
tary Of Senator p. b. Plumb, says on
the matter of the proposed irrigation
scheme for western Kansas and the
sand plains farther west, that
what Senator Fiumb now
had at his command concerning
the feasibility Of Che reservoir
plan almost warrented statement
that the plan Of irrigation would be
recommended by the Congressional
committee, which is almost equivalent
toadoptlon by congress. 1t will re-
quire the expenditure ofmillions, said
Mr.. Flinniken, to carry out the
scheme, but it will be the only saliva
ton for parts Of that country. He
thinks that western Kanaas in time
will be reproductive, owing to irri-
cation facilities, as any section of the

income tax the ends Of justice would
undoubtedly be better served; but the
habit Of referring every i'll in the cat
,alogue Of human grievances 10 this
one cause serves 10 defeat the very
purpose which all reformers have in
Viewby diverting attention from other
sources Of evil and concentrating it
upon this alone. The fact to which
we have repeatedly called attention
thatwe have as powerful trusts and
combines for tho control OF commo-
dities now on the free List, as ipr the
control Of any product upon which n
duty is imposed is conclusive that
trusts and combines do not depend
upon the tariff for their exisistence
and failure to recognize this fact must
result in continued failure to discern
all the causes for tho grievances Of
which the peoploso justly complain
It is short-sighted and suicidal in its
effects. If the tariff is regarded as
an evil, lot it be exhibited tothe pco-
pie as an evil, but not to the exclusion
of others Of equally baneiul inhuonce
upon the policy Of the country.

We call especial attention to tho
speech Of the Hon. Wharton j. Green

convincing, and it will do every alli-

recommend it also as q wholesome

common error Of regarding, the exist
ing tariff ns the sole cause Of the
trusts and combines. the iniquity Of
whose methods he so ably portrays,
but aside from this we can find moth
ing in his speech that We cannot
heartily endorse. While the tariff as
it now exists is undoubtedly suscepti-
bic Of much Improvement in the in

reformers make a great mistake in at
tributing TO it evils for which other

The editor Of the Independent seeks
TO divert attention from his own indis.
erection by assuming airs Of pompous
superiority, and expressing contempt
Of the ADVOCATE. We are entirely In
different TO either his esteem or con-
tempt, and we do not choose to sacri-
fee our self respect sufficiently to get
down TO his level and retot in the
same spirit This is the usual subter-
fuge Of ono who is without argument,
or means classification, and this is
not the first instance of the manifesto
ton of'the same propensity by the
editor OF the Independent We
simply desire to remind him that it
will require something more than
making faces at the ADVOCATE or pro-
Tossing groat love for the dear people
who compose tho membership Of the
Farmers Alliance TO satisfactorily ex-
plain this little paragraph from the
issue Of August 3lst. 1889.
"The plan is to mako no regular
democratic nomination this fall, but
trust TO o conglomeration OF Demo
Gratis, Alliance men, whiskey malcon-
ents, odds and ends generally"
The aim of tho editor of the hde7
pendent hNs been to incite discord be-
tween members Of the Al1ianeOby at
tempting to create the impression
that some Of their nurlber are secret
ly conspiring with the leaders Of the
county democracy for the overthrow
Of the dominent party. The charac-
ter Of the men who favor political nc
tion by the Allianceis sufliSicnt refu-
tation Of this absurd assumption.
Many ofthe best republicans in the
county, men who have never had any
love for the democratic party, and
have no desire now to affiliate with il,
believe that something may bo done
that will enable members Of the ALI
ance Of all parties to vote together for
men who will be true representatives
Of their interests. Such action does
not as Che Independent infers, nOces-
sarily involve a repudiation Of every
man regardless Of his merit, who now
occupies An official position. Itmight
IN some instances interfere with the
slate, but political harmony of the
membership Of the Alliance is the sole
motive of any action that may be con
templated, and we believe this result
will be obtained, the efforts Of the IN
dependent to the contrary notwith-
standing.
