paper. We organized a sub. here last fall
with o members, to start on. Thought we
might get 20 in all, but we now have
about 10 members, and the work goes
bravely on. We have two contract stores
at Elk City, one dry goods, groceries and
notions, and one hardware store They
are giving very good satisfaction but we
are working up an exchange store here,

say that ls an unreasonable statement, but
let us reconsider a little and see. A farm
er puts out 40 ACRES Of corn and raises
1900 bushels, Of which 800 goes TO the
landlord leaving the tenant 1900 bushels
for his share. Well he wants 10 get his
corn out before the bad weather sets In,
40 he hires man TO husk corn and pays
him two cents per bushel, and he boards
himself Well when he Is done husklng
he looks around for shelter, and for
hands and teams to haul, as he wishes to
load car and ship 10 market Immediate
Iy. Well, he gets a shelter and pays
one cent per bushel, and II he lives WITH
in 2 or 8 miles Of a railway station he can
get his corn 10 the car for probably one
cent more per bushel. Then the railroad
freight takes little bite out Of the crop,
to the tune Of fourteen cents per bushel,
for hauling TO ~. Louis, and the commits
sion men will charge him one-half cent
more, making q total Of nineteen cents
per bushel cash outlay, TO say nothing Of
boarding men and teams while they are
shelllng and hauling to the car which will
amount TO one-half cent more, making a
grand total OF nineteen and one-half cents
per bushel for expenses. Now when he
gets the corn to ~. Louis he gets 25B
cents per bushel and taking out his ex-
penses he has five and hye-elghths cents
left for his profit
On, some will say that man Is writing
from Imagination, but the foregoing Is
taken from the actual experience OF the
writer the corn was shipped Jan. ist, 1890.
Is there not something wrong some
where2 Well the freight you see Is very
nearly three hfths Of the value Of the
corn In 81. Louis. What would a man
say II man would clear piece Of land
for our special benefit, tax us in the way
of bonds TO clear the land and then charge
us three-hfths Of what we raised. We
would all cry out robber, and yet the
railroads do this very thing and at the end
of the year they declare their dividends,
while we plod along In the good old way
saying If not in words we say by our ac-
tions "That is all right" but brethren this
Is all wrong, let us be up and doing and
and soon we will find the wrong
that can be righted and we are the men TO
right IL. Let us cast aside all prejudice
and look to our own interests and II it's
necessary, and It certainly Is becoming
more Of anecessity as time rolls by, too put
our own representatives In our legislatures
and congresses. And by our Legislators
we can get our own representatives in the
Senate. Then and only then can we hope
to secure Legislation In our interest. Just
as long as we send bankers, lawyers and
monopolists to our representative halls,
just so long will they keep our noses to
the grlndstOne and legislate for them
selves. We have been dormant too long;
we have neglected to look after our inter

sublolned find resolutions adopted by
Pleasant Valley Farmers Alliance No. 900
Sumner county,. We would recommend;
That each SURVEILLANCE, Union and Grange
of Kansas and Of each and every other
state, adopt the same at once, and report
your adoption Of the same, TO THE ADyo-
GATE, or 10 the official journal Of your re-
spective state which we recommend to
publish the resolutions Mt the head Of a
column set apart for that purpose, fol-
lowed by the name Of the Alliance, Union
or Grange adopting them, and the num-
Der Of male members Of each, and when
all, or a large portion, ofthe Sub-Alliances,
Unions and Oranges throughout the coun-
try have adopted the same, that a copy OF
the resolutions, and the name Of the order
adopting them and the number Of male
members of each order, be forwarded TO
each Of their congressional representa-
tlves. Also to Richard p. Bland Of Mis-
sourI and Edward Lane Of Illinois and
to the Legislative committee OF the Ma
tlOnal Farmers Alliance at Washington
ID. O.
Those resolutions would show to our
congressional representatives, the wishes
Of their constituents, and the number Of
male members adopting them, would ans
wer the purpose Of petition. II these
resolutions are speedily adopted by sixty
thousand voters of Kansas, and II each
sub-Alliance, Union and Grange through
out the United States will act in concert,
which we sincerely hope they will, and
adopt these, or similar, resolutions, and
transmit them to their respective con-
gressional representatives and to the leg
islative committee of the National
Farmers Alliance at Washington d. O.;
we will soon have the wishes Of 2,5O0,OO0
voters before congress, and when such a
vast number Of their constituents, all de-
manding the same enactments, appeal to
them, will they longer remain deaf to our
appealsY If they do, we will then know,
that our only hope Of securing those in
herent rights, guaranteed to us by the
Declaration Of independence, will be to
"carry our purposes into the domain Of
practical politics"
Brothersl let us ask in the hope that we
may receive.
The following are the resolutions adopt
cd by the Pleasant Valley Alliance No.
096 and which we recommend be adopted
by every Alliance, Union and Grange
throughout the United States.

to the hands Of corporations, dealing in
money as a commodity, the power to con-
troll the volume Of money, thereby con
trolling labor, and they also control the
price Of the products Of labor by working
hand in hand with spectators who gam

and increase and decrease the value Of
the same at will, therefore
