care IS for material progress, that it is 10

The Farmers Federation.

The Farmers Federation of the
Mississippi Valley, which started
into life in St. Louis some weeks
ago, prop oses to band together all
the wheat growers of the country
into an organization whose main
purpose is to more or less regulate
the price OF wheat and prevent it
from being controlled by the brokers
and spectators, and run up or down
to suit them.
The great and growing speculation
in wheat 10 Chicago aud other
Western cities has more or less
affected the price. of that article to
the injury of he farmers. The
latter have long su. Tered in patience,
but now seek to pre- vent themselves
from being victimized in the future.
The result is the Fal 'mefs' Fedora
ton of the Mississippi l Valley. In
the call of the conven ton, Nll the
Governors of the Mississ ippi Valley
were invited, while the Farmers
Alliances were asked to send dele
gates, and all farmers raising 500 or
more bushels of the cereal were given
seats in the convention.
The president of the Federation in
calling the convention to order, Elk
planned that its purpose was not to
denounce trusts and combines, "not
to meet the issue of new systems
and conditions of trade" but to
organize the farmers against such
combinations. The proposition is
that the organization of the brokers,
spectators and others to depress
the price of wheat be met by an
organization of the farmers to pre-
vent it. On this plan the country
will be divided into many camps and
organizations engaged in continuous
warfs-e. If This is "the new system
and conditions of trade" likely to
exist, as the Federation says, the
outlook is most unpromising Times

were leading issues, as the very
nomination of Foraker showed, and
the people declared against all of
them, and expressed their opposition
to seclionalism and pension extrava-
lance
In Virginia the Republicans APP
p0aled to the race issue, sought to
reorganize the negroes as during the
days of reconstruction, and backed
by the Federal administration began
a new crusade against the South,
only to be buried under the biggest
majority Virginia has given since it
was State.
On all these distinctive Republican
issues, the tariff, pensions, the race
question, sectionalsm, etc, that
party has been badly beaten.
VIII the administration appreciate
the lesson given? The elections are
timely in one respect--that they
came just before the meeting of
Congress, and give that body some
idea of the sentiment and views of
the people; and Congress will not
dare oppose them. The people have
spoken against the stirring up of
sectional or race issues; and have
called for some revisal of the tariff.
The Republican party, which was
planning legislation against the
South. will scarcely do 80 now, for
it can plan no law that will hold the
vote of Iowa and Ohio Tuesdays
victory win compel il to materially
change its plans, and we may hope
for less sectional legislation than it
tire atened to give us.
As for Mr.. Harrison, the country,
or at least large portion of it, has
given that gentleman a very en-
phatic warning, which he would do
well to heel .-Times-D Democrat.

Election Laws for the South.

tThere is very general idea that
the Republicans will undertake to
pass some sort of election laws"
said a prominent Congressman of
Mississippi, when interrogated to-
day respecting the probable legisla-
ton of the next Congress. 81 have
noticed that several Of the conven-
tions have approved the idea of the
passage of such law, hut am very
certain it will not accomplish what
its friends expect. The effect of such
law will not be to give a single
Southern State to the Republicans
that it does not now have. There
is general misunderstanding in the
North regarding the race question.
II they think they can settle it by
simply providing some machine that
will insure the absolute vote of all
the negroes Of the South for the Re-
publican party they are very much
mistaken. That is not the race ques-
ton. The race question is very
much deeper and more important
than that. 1 have no doubt, how
ever, that if some politician could
contrive some device, by which the
Republican party could carry the
Southern States his political friends
would consider that he could settle
the race question and they would
leave MS to deal with it as best we
could in oul local matters. 1t makes
me tired to listen to the talk Of Re-
publicans who claim to want to settle
the race question by determining
how the negroes shall vote for Presi
dent and members Of Congress. The
people Of the South care nothing for
such Offices, except so far as it is
necessary for them to stand together,
and as It enables them to deal with
the great race question Of the South. -
