In order to facilitate and maintain
peace among the races, destroy all the
mean whisky in the land. Whisky is
the cause Of more evils than all other
causes put together. 1t is like Solomon's
tale bearer. He SAYS "Where there is
no tale bearer the strife ceaseth;" and so
where there is no mean whisky there is
little or no trouble. The trouble comes
from mean white men, and mean black
men. and mean whisky. Here is trim
ity of evils; or, it may be said, the tri-
une cause of most, if not all, the evil in
the country. Let us seek to have the
bad men converted. or removed from
our midst, and universal peace will pre-
vail among the races.--T. T.. Boswell in

SECRETARY RUsK, of the agricultural
bureau. has stopped giving old woman
advice to the farmers, and his latest is
an interview in which he compliments
President Harrison very highly, and
names him tor his own successor. 1t is
not strange that Mr.. Rusk admires Mr..
Harrison. who was so wise as to select
him (Rusk) out of 100000 of people
for secretary Of agriculture. Ii is not
strange that he desires the continuance
i'm office of Mr.. Harrison, because that
means his own continuance i'm a very
congenial office. AS Mr.. Rusk is so
near the president Zone of his advsers)
his interview is held to mean that Har-
rison renominates himself, and wishes to
be considered from this on as the candi-
date of his party for second term. So
the indications now are Harrison vs..

didate against them both. No Green

more unpopular candidates, against

The ring papers predict that now the
the farmers organization has gone into
politics, they are '.doOmed. This is
intended to scare. The farmers have
been in politics, and the difference in
the past and now, is that in the past the
other fellows formulated the platforms
and named the candidates, and the farm
ers voted as directed by the bosses-the
Democratic farmer voting for the DEM
ocratic nominees, and the Republican
farmer voting for the Republican nomi-
nees. From the standpoint of the Dem
ocratic bosses the dearest wish of the
Republican voter was to marry mig
ger" and from the standpoint of the
Republican boss, any Democrat was Il
''rebel," even though he were born
since the war. And in this manner
men whose interests were identically
the same were kept apart and fighting,
when they should lave been friends.
The play upon passion and prejudice
was so skillfully performed that for a
time the people lost sight Of interests,
that in their magnitude and far-reach-
ing influence, have no parallel in the
history OF American institutions.
change had to come. Conditions brought
about by vicious legislation bore so hard
upon the farmer that gradually his eyes
were opened to behold that he has been
made victim of set of willy and I'M
scrupulous politicians. Turn which
way he would, he found spoliation and
robbery 70 escape from conditions so
unjust and in.provoked, the farmer and
labor organizations have determined up
on new departure. Henceforth the
people will take hand in making plat
forms and naming candidates-not in
the interest CT any class, but in the in
terest of the whole people. The rights
of all will be cared for, but ofone thing
the public may rest assured: when the
candidates are named, among them all
will not be found one railroad attorney,
or one age-of-cOnsent lawyer.

In the battle that is now on, the prin-
ciple weapon of the enemy is falsehood.
A plumber Of falsehoods have already
appeared. Sometimes we are told that
the new movement ''has no leaders,;
then again, there are leaders, but the
leaders are "demagogues; still at other
times we are told that the labor move
ment has been captured by the Union
Labor party" Not one of these state
ments is true. The movement is spon-
taneous-an uprising of the people,
whose leaders have hitherto been Lying
in security. So strong is the feeling
against Office holders and office seekers,
that many of the subordinate lodges
have passed resolutions condemning
both. None Of the leaders who figured
in the old parties are known in the new.
A very large number of the men prom
inent in the new movement have for
merly been Republicans and Democrats.
The St. Louis platform was made by
men from all parties and from all sec
tons. In the new movement there is 20
South. no North, no East, no West, no
Democrat, no Republican. The preju-
dices of the past are forgotten. 1t is a
union of labor against the eXtOrtiOn of
capital. 1t is the battle Of men fighting
for what they produce fighting for
more bread. more boots and shoes, for
more and better dwellings,. 1t is the
battle of men fighting for homes that
are in jeopardy through an accursed
system. 1t is a war on mo-
nopoly and combinations war on the
present banking system; war OH Shy
locks; war on Doodle politicians; a
war on railroad attorneys; a war on
age of consent lawyers. 1t is rebellion
against incipient serfdom. 1t marks che
beginning of new and better era in the
worlds history, in which the wealth
producers shall own the wealth. 1t
breathes the spirit of '76. 1t is grand
i'm its conception. 1t will be glorious in
its contamination.
