WE publish on our sixth page this
week an article from the Baltimore
Manufacturers Record on the Farm
ers' Alliance which sets forth the true
mission of that organization in a
clearer manner than we have ever
seen it before. The organization has
great possibilities before it if kept
clear CT political entanglements and
its work is directed in the proper line
of protecting the farmers interests.
The farmers need such an Organiza-
ton, and it will meet with hearty CO.
operation and encouragement from
other classes as long as an honest
effort to protect and advance the
farmers interests is manifested, but
when it is converted into a mere ma
chine for venting personal spites, or
for attempts to drag down other bust
ness interests, then ii will fail, as it
should do. Neither can any organi-
zation of farmers successfully conduct
all other lines of business. If the
merchants of any town or city should
form an organization and all resolve
to engage in farming, about ninety
nine out Of every hundred Of them
would fail, and a like fate generally
attends farmers when they undertake
merchandising, manufacturing, or
other lines of business in which they
have no experience. All the gush
about merchants and manufacturers
robbing the farmers is silly and child
ish. The farmer who has the cash in
his pocket is master of the situation.
and can buy goods on the
very closest margins at which they
can be sold, but if by poor farming
and poor management he never ac-
cumulates any cash, and has to buy
all of his supplies or credit, Of course
the merchant has the advantage OF
him, and the farmer is forced to pay
the merchants prices. More than
this, if the farmer is in debt to the
merchant he has no moral right to
hold the products of his farm for Il
higher market, but must sell
at whatever prices they will bring
to satisfy his obligation to the
merchant. The key to the whole
problem Of high prices is simply
cash

Why wouldn't it be splendid idea
to abolish the Office Of Commissioner
of Agriculture, and create a State
Commissioner Of Public Roads, who
could appoint sub.commissioners for
each county, and they likewise for
each district, with ample appropria-
ton to carry on the work. Inspectors
of Roads might be appointed, and all
work required to come up toa certain

We do not see why the matter of
public roads would not appropriately
come within the purview of the pres
ent Commissioners Office. All the
change necessary would be for the
Legislature to invest him with the
authority and supply him with the
funds.

Myself and Elder Howard, of ORA.
per, Utah, We're holding meetings
in a schoolhOuse, this county. We
had n fair turnout and everything
was going on in good style, having
order and strict attention. On the
night Of the Sth the house was
crowded. Elder Howard was
lecturing on the restoration OF
the Gospel. He had been
speaking thirty minutes, when
suddenly 4 shower Of eggs came
through the window. Fortunately
we did not get much Of the shower,
but the congregation received the
benefit of il. The walls were some
what besmeared. Some of the men
ran out to detect who the disturbers
were, but they scampered Off through
the woods, ringtheir pistols as they
went. Those that went out soon re-
turned and all was quiet again. The
speaker never stopped his discourse
through the uproar, and after it was
quiet he seemed to speak with re-
newed vigor. At the close Of the
meeting we had more and warmer
friends than before. We had a
dozen invitations to 90 home, and
they wanted us TO continue our
preaching, but we had made prepa-
ration 10 leave on the morrow, so
we got off by agreeing TO return.
There are a few here who are thor
oughly convinced OF the truths of
the Gospel, but they don't appear to
see the necessity Of joining them
selves TO the Church, rs the title
