Idaho news. (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1887-1891, 1889-04-06

THE decline of American farmers
is a matter of serious import, and
The News looks at it with the gray
est apprehensions. The time was
when they were leaders socially, finan-
cially and politically, but that time
has passed and apparently forever.
Long years ago farmers sons consti-
tuted the majority of students in our
colleges and universities; farmers
were in the majority in State legis-
lative halls and even in congress but
they do not make up those maiorities
now. In the first years of the national
government presidents were taken
from the ranks of farmers but they
are not to-day. The first president
was a farmer and the nine following
were either farmers or identified with
farming interests but there the num-
Der ceases. Twenty-nine years ago.
1860, the farmers were in the major
ity and according to statistics own
ed the larger part of taxable property
IN the country, but what do statistics
show today While they have added
about six billions of dollars to their
wealth the other classes have added
about thirty billions in the same
length of time. The number of farmers
is decreasing and the value of their
property, as rule, is decreasing even
at a greater rate. In the State of
Illinois alone, the great farming State.
100000 acres of land have been put
under mortgage within the past six
or eight years and the value of those
lands have decreased about 25 per
cent. This mortgage system and de
crease in value is common to all the
States. Why is it? yea. let every
farmer ask-Why is it? Then again.
in political circles farmers are not on.
ly ignored in the distribution of of
fees but their votes are not sought
for as in other days. Politicians will
speak of the necessity of getting the
labor vote, the temperance vote, the
railroad vote, the Irish vote and so on
but they never lay any stress on the
farmers vote. We repeat, this is
matter of serious import and it is
well for the people to find out the
causes that have brought about the
decline.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
Proclamation Of the Governor Calling
an Election for Delegates.

Whereas, 1t is desirable that the
Territory of Idaho be admitted into
the Union as State, and it has been
clearly indicated BY leading men of
Congress of both political parties,
that SO soon as a suitable constitution
is presented to Congress, such admis-
sion will be granted:
Now therefore, |, Il. A. Stevenson
Governor of Idaho Terrific, fully re-
cognizing the great advantages which
Statehood will confer, and in accord
ance With the fully expressed wishes
of the citizens of the Territory, do
issue this my proclamation to the
people thereof and recommend to
them that they take the necessary
steps for such admission: That for
this purpose they hold throughout
this Territory, on the LIST Monday in
june A. D. 1889, an election for del
egates to Constitutional Convention
70 convene at Boise City, in said Ter
ritory, at II O'Clock, noon, Of the 4th
Idaho news. (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1887-1891, 1889-04-06

His Excellency Governor Stevenson
calls for constitutional convention
July 4th. In this he will have the
endorsement of both parties. Now,
as it is not party measure let us
select our best men as delegates; men
of good practical sense, men who
have no chisels to sharpen, men who
viii go to Boise City and assist in
framing constitution that every
patriot will respect and hold sacred.
Let us work for a constitution that
will not only command our admission
to Statehood but that will stand the
test of ages and grow in estimation
as ages roll on. THE News calls up
on the voters of the Territory to name
their best men; if they do this. they
may expect the cry to be heard, the
country over, all's well for the people
and all is well for the Gem of the
Mountains.
