The farmer pays his interest and
his debts out Of what ho receives for
his products If wheat is 30 cents n
bushel, two bushels wilIipay one dol
lar Of debt. Fit was worth one dol
lar it would only require one bushel.
To,double the volume of the circu-
lating medium, would double the sell
ing price of products, and it would
only require one-half Of tho labor to,
pay debts that it does now, The,
remedy for tho present burdens OF
debt is to increase the volume Of the
debt-paying medium until "spot casL"
shall take the place Of interest'beOr-
ing debt If the farmers demand by

FARMERs AND THE KNIGHTS.
Tho Representatives OF the Alliance
Received With Enthusiagm.


mittee on land has resumed its report
this morning Immediately after the
Knights of Labor convention was
called TO ordOr and continued until
the hour arrived when Colonel l.. +.
Livingston, president Of the farmers
alliance, was to bo received. A com
mittee was appointed TO escort the
representatives Of tho farmers TO the
hall, and when they returned they
had with them, besides Colonel Liv-
ingston, Judge Henderson, commits
sionor Of OgriculturOj r.. II. Gray edi-
tor Of the National Economist, and
Harry Brown, editor Of the Georgia
Farmer Colonel Livingston was re-
ceived with applause. EIe said that
other work had prevented his study
ing tho objects Of the Knights Of La
Dor. But he felt sure that when the
convention should meet at ST. Louis,
December 2, the confederation would
be formed, and he also felt sure that
it would be equally beneficial to both
orders.
Powderly in reply said the day
when the farmer and mechanic should
stand side by side, and work for the
same object had always been a dream
Of his, The entire meeting was most
enthusiastic and evcry mention of tho
confederation OF the two organizations
was met with greatapplause.
The federation of tho Knights OF
Labor with tho Farmers alliance, Isl
foregono conclusion. When Colonel
Livingston stated the aims and objects
Of the alliance, over which he had
presided, it was shown conclusively
that tho ends for which both orders
were working wero identical and it
was asserted that together they could
form an irresistible power and what
eaCh singly was obliged to struggle
for united they could demand and
obtain.
The above is interesting to our
Kansas membership at the present
time At the meeting Of our State
Alliance at Newton, in August last
an address was received from the
State assembly Of the Knights of La
bor proposing the adoption Of means
OF cooperation between the two Or
doris, A reply to this address was
submitted in due time accepting the
proposition OF tho Knights. Since
that time the Master workman he's ap-
pointed q committed to meet q like
committee from our Order, to agree
upon the methods Of such co-operN-
tion. The state president has ap-
pointed the committee on the part Of

profit
Unfortunately the cost Of raising
this crop is not only large, but aston
ishing as Il may be, il is a fact that
the amount realized from the crop is
scarcely enough TO pay tho actual ex-
pences Of producing it; and instead
OF payingof the mortgages with the
proceeds, the farmers will not be able
TO meet the interest, but will have to
increase their indebtedness in order
to postpone tho day when their farms
will pass into the creditors hands.
How much profit in there in wheat
at 50 cents, corn at Is and oats at II
cents per bushol.
There are farmers to-day who are in
doubt whether to harvest their corn
let itrot in the field, or feed it to stock
and sell the stock for less than it cost
to got it to market. Disaster stNres
the farmer in the face at every turn;
and bankruptcy to the farmer means
failnre and ruin to the merchant.
What will the ond be2 What is the
romody2 The people are Studying
the problem, and when the solution
comes there will be such shaking up
Of tho dry bones OF the stock and
grain gamblers, rings, corporations,
monopolies, trusts and political ma
chimes Ns this country has never be-
fore seen.
In this connection q local illustra-
tion Of the way formers are getting
rich on their big crops may be inter
osting.
Yesterday farmertold us that 1t
now takes 125 pounds Of corn to buy
25 pounds Of c0rn-meal. In The old
expensive way Of grinding, before the
introduction Of the improved machin-
cry of to-day, one-ffth for toll was
considered Il fair charge, the farmer
getting four-ffths. Now the millers
take four.
A fow days ngo farmers from south
of us hauled their wheat through this
city to Winfield, where they received
from 3 to 5 cents more per bushel
than tho market price here One
farmer brought q load OF wheat to
Arkansas City and was offered only
SO cents for it; he said he would haul
it to Winfield. Hewas then offered
55. The samo day his son took load
from the same bin, to Winfield, and
sold it for GO cents. These facts soon
came to be known, and the Winfield
millers evidently heard something in
teresting from Arkansas City, as the
price ofwheat at the county seat took
a sudden drop to the Arkansas City
price.
These are pointers that will give an
idea as to whatis the matter with the
local market. OF course It is natural
for people who buy, tomake the best
terms they can; but when farmers are
forced to give four-ffths Of their corn
for toll, il is about time for them to be-
