Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1890-10-06

The people demand tho abolition of
the national banks, because the national
banking laws confer privilege and pow
er upon the national banker that no
other citizen is entitled to receive under
Republican form OF government; and
because the power and privilege confer
red has been used to rob the people.
The security behind the national bank
note is the national bond, anil the people
back, or secure the bond so that the ma
tional bank notes really have only the
people as security, and yet no one but
the banker receives any benefit from the
whole transaction-hut the people are
bled by having to pay high rates of in
terest by one Of their own Creations, or
rather, by creation Of congress where
in the people without their consent are
placed in the position Of creator. The
people also demand the substitution Of
legal tender treasury notes in lieu Of
national bank notes Issued in sufficient
volume to do the bushes of the country
on cash system. 1t is idiocy to claim
that national bank note has better Sc
curity than treasury note since both
haye the same security, and the claim
that is often made. that ours is the best
banking system ever devised is only true
SO far as it applies to the national bank
er, for it is the worst possible for the
people, and no one, unless interested or
blind with partisanship can claim for
moment that our national banking sys-
tenn ought to be perpetuated. But bill
has been introduced in congress to per-
petuate, or at least to continue the pres
ent system, and If the people do not
change the complexion Of congress, the
bill sooner or later will pass and the
people will 60 on bearing heavy bur-
den of taxes with which to pay interest.
Let us abolish the national banks;
abolish interest bearing national debt.
All just powers of government are de-
rived from the people. The national
banker has powers not derived from
the people in the sense that the people
give their consent.

ACCORDING to j. j. Ingalls,, "the
party in power is the government"
Thus we see that instead of being in
the United States government we are
IN a government run and controlled
by set Of self-constituted cars, and
bill under government of cars to
forfeit railroad lands means bill to
compel the United States to forfeit,
and not the railroads.

evidence that Senator Ingalls, connec-

Republican Juggiery.

1
The Republican state platform in sub
stance declares that the silver bill re-
Gently passed lis a step in the right
direction" but ''favors free coinage of
silver" which is equivalent to saying
that the party is in favor Of a law that
virtually demonetizes silver, and ut the
same time favors free coinage. The dec
laration is dishonest and untruthful,
and is proven to be so by the action of
the convention in voting down resolu-
ton offered by delegate, demanding
the repeal OF that section of the present
oliver act which provides that when Il
contract go specifies, debts shall not be
payable In silver, certificates issued UNI
der that act. 1e ~
The Republican convention cannot be
in favor Of the silver bill as passed, and
in favor of free coinage, because the
difference in the two measures is go
great that one leads in one direction and
the other in another direction just the
opposite. The Republican politician is
noted for his ac.obatic feats, but never
before has he been known to attempt to
ride at the same time, two horses going
III opposite directions. A close inspec-
ton reveals tile fact that the platform
from from first to last is weak attempt
to deceive the people, for 1t is full of
glaring inconsistencies, of which the
above is sample. The truth Of the
matter is, that the Republican party
politician is owned by Wall street and is
secretly pledged to carry out the Wall
street schemes of plundering the
western farmer. We beg leave
to again quote from the Republican
Plaindealer, which said some time since
1.-The east is for a smaller circulate
ing medium controlled exclusively by
the money centers on the Atlantic
coast" Legislation in the
past has largely been in the interests of
the east, to make dollar purchase more
by scarcity" Now il it were true
that western senators and congressman
were fighting the east Oh behalf of their
constituents, on behalf of western in
terests, there would be no complaint
But not only does the eastern money
lender own the senators and congress
men, but also owns the state legisla-
lures, owns the county and state rings,
and through the lying OF press and pol
itician-through legislation in the in
terest of the eastern capitalist, OWLS the

 The flood, in Pinal creek, Thursday night, was of sufficient volume and force to injure property fronting its banks. Messrs. Middleton and New tor are probably the heaviest suffer- CTS. The Tonto mail carrier who ar rived in Globe yesterday morning re- gretted that he or his horse was not web-footed, as the creek was too deep to ford, and in order to get here he was forced to skirt the hills. Owing to the high water, the Florence and San Carlos buckboards were unable to leave Globe yesterday. The Tonto mail carrier started out in the after noon.
 A petition, addressed to President Harrison, asking for the segregation from the San Carlos reservation of McMillen and small portion of coun- try surrounding it, was circulated in Globe the present week and received many signatures. McMillen, through which runs the famous Stonewall ledge, is one of the richest mineral districts i'll Gila county, but lying within the reservation no title to claims can be secured. and their de velOpment has been retarded As the area desired to be segregated Is not occupied by Indians and is of no ben eft whatever to them, it should be opened to settlement.
 A colored youth named George Douglass was caught stealing ammu- milton from the soldiers at San Car los and selling it to Indians. He was arrested and put in irons, and on Wednesday was escorted to Fort Thomas, given his liberty and told tc make himself scarce.

How to kill the Market.

The people of the Salt River valley want q market for their produce as yet no constant market has been created for the simple reason there has been no constant supply of anything to be had, not even hay and grain; but we refer more particularly to but ter, eggs, poultry, milk, fruit, alfalfa seed, bacon, hams, lard and the like, of every one of which every farmer in the valley should have a regular sup ply to dispose of to our city merchants who could then establish regular busi- ness with outside regions that are constantly seeking such supplies and the trade of which is going where there is constant supply to be had. An instance in point: For a month or six weeks past our home merchants have been loaded down with eggs; the home demand was glutted and there was no outside market for the reason that outside points had no established trade with merchants of this city. One of our merchants under these cir cumstances began quoting eggs at twenty-five cents-no buyers; he tried twenty cents-no buyers; he tried fif- teen cents-no buyers he tried twelve and half cents-one or two small orders, a nibble as it were; he then quoted eggs at ten cents and got an order for forty cases at that figure In the meantime he had been pushing off his higher priced eggs in the home market and buying lower and lower in trade and quoting them at the same price he paid for the purpose of estsb fishing a market outside; the chance came if the supply can be maintain ed the price may gradually be worked upward in time when the outside learns that it can find it's supplies in this market; but at this critical junc- ture when there is inquiry for eggs at fixed price the producer concludes that he is not getting enough for eggs. though he is getting all that they can be handled at; he refuses to furnish them at the price, the next order that comes along cannot be filled and goes to California, other orders for other supplies go there with it, the outside has learned that it can't be satisfied III etllo lalhIt, IIlc tlduS IS lOoI' HIS is an example of how things go in all departments of our export trade. Ii the supply is here the only way to get rid of it at a profit is first to estab fish trade by taking what can be had, but by all means by keeping up the supply, that every call may be met; once the trade is established there need to be no fear of paying prices in the future The trade must be established first howeyer-Phenix Herald

The naturalist, the progressive farmer and all intelligent and thinking persons will be inter ested in the series of six articles on the study of insects to begin in the New York Ledger of March l. The series is by Professor John H. Comstocl, of Cornell Univer sity, the eminent naturalist, and will describe the insects pests which an- nually injnre the fruit and vegetable crops of the country to the extent of $100,000,000 Particular attention is given to the pests which rayage cot ton, rice and grain fields and orchards, gardens and vineyards. Professor Comstock shows that the cotton worm of the South has been responsible for an average loss yearly of $30,000,000 to the cotton crop. He considers the terrible desvastations of certain in sects, such as the locust in the West, the potato beetle and the cotton worm, have been blessings in disguise, as they have shown the possible powers of those once despised creatures and have occupied the attention of the scientists of the world to such an ex- tent, that growers may reasonably hope that the ravages of the insects mentioned may be confined within certain bounds. Professor Comstock also treats of insects useful to the farmer. His articles are of the great est value.

How Long Should Cuttings be.
(Fresno Expositor.)

l'tsASCA-f
 The greatest as well as the most general failures in vineyard planting have resulted from our inability to foretell the rainfall of the coming sea- son. It makes a very great difference if the soil during the winter months will remain just moist enough to keep the vines or cuttings in good condi- tion, or if it will, through heavy rain fall, become boggy and cold and cause the latter to rot.
 If we could always foretell this con dition of the soil we could adapt our cuttings and vines, as well as our methods, to the emergency.
 The rooted vines can stand a great deal of moisture without being injured while the cuttings would under similar circumstances, be seriously damaged. Notwithstanding the enormous quan tity of rooted vines now at the disposal of the grape-growers in this county, many will be obliged to use cuttings from the impossibility to procure them, others again will use them from choice.
 The question how long cutting should be will be asked by many, and more important question to the in tending planter, could hardly come under considers ton. If cutting is too short it will probably dry ont if the moisture gives out before the cutting is rooted, and well established in the soil. If, again, the cutting is too long, it will be too deep down in cold ground, perhaps even be standing in water i thoughout the wet season and as a consequence fail to grow. Where wa ter is handy for irrigation, and where it can be depended upon whenever needed, the cuttings had better be small, say from eight to ten inches.
 Such cuttings are easier to handle, cheaper to plant and cheaper even to procure. If the season is a very rainy one, they will grow without any irri- gation, and their shortness will bring the lower part of the cutting near enough to the surface of the ground to keep it warm, and prevent 1t from decsying, before caloused and taken root. When the soil dries out such i cuttings are easily irrigated in time. This holds good also for low lands which, at least, in irrigated districts arc cold and wet. For higher grounds as wet as in dry seasons longer cut ting of, say eighteen inches is most appropriate,
 It has the advantage of reaching down into the moistened soil and will not dry out so soon and is sure tc 1 grow.

Fig Cultures lGnlnsa Snn ]

Amos Roberts, who has been in- yestigating the fig business, is pre- pairing to plant this season 200 acres of the white Adriatic fig on his place near Tulare. Mir. Roberts has some twenty-three acres near Colusa that he will plant also if he does not sell 1t to advantage before planting time. One man who has an orchard of three acres, five years old, took off some T6OOO worth of figs this year, and an- other made $500 an acre on three-year old trees. The fig tree does not reach its maximum product for twenty years It will take many years to overdo the fig business, and the first into 1t will reap rich harvest The fig does not require the amount of water that other fruit does, and 1t will grow on any of our plain land. Of course it requires enough moisture to make the tree grow well. l. will not stand too much-that is the fig will not dry, but will sour and spoil when the roots penetrate down to water. Hence there is much of the irrigated country where the surface water is raised to near the top of the ground that can not be planted in the fig In Colusa land and climate are particularly well adapted to the growth of the fig
 Rooted slips can be had for about l7 cents each. The two-year old slip transplanted will die down to the root, but the one year-old will not. There Is danger of frost the first year and not aiterward, and hence the young tree ought to be protected. Another thing that makes the fig very valuable is that is not bothered with insect pests Our vines and other trees have been attacked with disease, but our figs trees never.
 MT. Holman showed us a few days ago small box of the White Adriatic that he had simply dried and packed in box that were very fne-he had not even sulphured them. He had only few, as his trees as young, and had but three or four figs each.
 Let Coiusa county have some of the boom We hope that Mir. Roberts will not sell his land here, but will plant it in figs. He has the young trees all ready.

 ran over the Yaqui coal field while in that section and though 1 am not a coal miner, I know enough about the black diamonds to say that one day these large seams of anthracite, semi anthracite and bituminous coals will add millions to the wealth of Mexico. In the foothills of the range I found lead croppings that looks just as promising as did the lead claims in the Magdalenas in '79 and 80. Iron, and good iron lies there too, as well as manganese in abundance. In my wanderings of six months I also saw plenty of copper, native bismuth, antimony, fire clay, native sulphur and no end of fine silver showings, such as would make your head dizzy.

Quite number of fruit trees went

Quite 2 number of fruit trees went upon the Florence stage to-day, and many are being planted here There are indications of rain which would not be unweleome The grain fields of Messrs. Taft & Johnson, our pioneer and thrifty young merchants, on the canal, are looking fine. With their industry, in a few years their farms will be credit to them. In fact, though quite young men, they have displayed business qualifications and enterprise that older men might well initiate. In short time people who have already spent years here, will see their mistake in not having taken up land of which there has been an abundance It is not yet too late, al- though there is little left in close proximity to the railroad and the town. More land will come into cul tivation if the proposed dam at the Buttes is built, and land now compar- atively useless will be as valuable as that on the Florence canal. = Casa Grande Corr.

Hopeful Outlook.

Tombstone merchants have much to be thankful for Being the county seat, this camp is now and will con tinue to be for years to come of steady growing importance. The thriving camp of Bisbee is but 30 miles away; Turquoise, one of the new and most promising district in Arizona, is but few miles away; the Huachuca mountains with their immense copper and lead deposits and heavy growth of timber of commercial value, their well watered foothills and pleasant homes, and thrifty fruit orchards, are within the boundaries of Cochise county: Along the San Pedro valley the finest bottom land ever turned over, can be seen dotted with homes, where ten years ago nothing but a vast plain was visible; the Sulphur Spring Valley where ten years ago, not a hoef of stock or human being could be seen now is populated with thrifty class. of people and stocked to it's ntmosfI limit, the same can be said ssof thsl San Simon Valley; the Chiricahua mountains, containing valuable de-l posits of mineral, timber and rich soil in the foothills and canyons, runs it's entire length through Cochise county. Tombstone the county seat, is the hub, so to speak, around which all of this wealth producing section revolves and to which the growing population looks for it's encouragement as child upon it's parent. No drop in the price of silver can knock the bottom out of this boom. It is growing sub stantially and surely. It can be re- lied upon to support large city in the near future and Tombstone located in the center of the richest county on the Pacific slope upon which nature has layished her gifts, is destined to be that city. If our local mineral production increases, so much the better, if it does not we surely have no cause for com plaint.-Prospector.
