JOHN JAMES iSeAL,.s.

cognomen, was born in tl,c Bay State.
 He removed from his native heath In 1858 to Kansas, and is United States Senator from that, till recently, be- nighted state. He took his seat March 4th, 1873, and by cunning. trckcry, and paliating rascalty he has been twice rp-eleeted. His present term expires m March. 1891, and as the scales have ! at last fallen from the Kansas farmers eyes. it is safe to say lie will not be re- turned to that august body again.
 Heretofore he has affiliated the farmers fancy. and h II his judgment at bay, by offering unimportant petitions for the various Kansas agricultural organ izatiobs which he knew wodld never be heard of after introduction By ioiug this lc was enabled to pose as the Western farmer's friend. While incidentally performing these little in- significant requests for farmers, and letting them die at tie shrine of care 1 less especially made careless intr0duc. 1 tipn, he wss pauting, and blowing, and sweiteriug with his m0st vigorous vilolts to push bills through congress that would depletc the national treas
 ury, aud ingratiate his party with the trusts, combines, C.. A. R. and monopelies generally, to the ex- cteding great injury of the farming class of the entire uuicn. The demo- cgats havr, for some time, he.n direct ing the farmers attention to the triple ! Gronted policy of the sarcastic senator, ] but 1t did little good til the farmers If l his own state could be engaged to do 1 their own thinking At last the Kan sas farmer understanas that Ingalls, policy has greatly helped to rivet the mortgage liens upon his farm which is to-day weighing down so heavily upon his agricultural constituency, that many of them are absolutely unable to stand alone. Under the lngalls policy, Kansas tillers of the soil thought, a few years ago, that they were just unfortu- nate in producing too much. and in that way had killed the markets of the world Tor their products. They thought by mortgaging their farms, and borrow ing money for five years, that it would tide them over till the return of pios- perity. winch Ingalls, told them the high tariff would bring as soon as the sur plus grain was consumed. They have waited with that Job-like patience which no class but farmers ever exer- else. for the promised relief But the grain is still abundant. with a slow market at h cents d bushrl for corn , the mortgage unpaid. and farm pro ducts are yet without market at lly- l ing prices. and the condition generally in Kansas Is distressing. The farmer at last realizes the awfulness of his at titude. They followed blindly the leadership ct Ingalls, till he toi!ed them into net of monetary oppression, the meshes of which, are made of the strongest Carmegic-silk cord and uaaght save an immediate blow of all the farmers, a united blow, will break the cunningly woven mesllcs, and let 1 th. farmers out into the broad fields of hope and iudt prndence, and enable them to return to prosperity, They see this clearly. and the farmers from all over Kansas are boldly declaring Ingalls, has donc nougiit for them m l the past. and they will follow no further | til he tells them what he proposes to do fer them in the future, The farm CTS are aware that . crisis Is upon the
 West; being intelligent, they know that nothing but very corrupt leader ship could have brought about the agri- cultural dis,resses uf the present. They are asking Ingalls, what ayc you going to do for us2n They mean what they say, ant they say they Intend to follow the leadership oi him who offers some lhing tangible in the way of redressing thpir grievances. They say we have surplus grain and meat enough if Il market could be had to render us Inde- lpcudent, but you have killed our mar ket, and compelled us to go withou, shelter. food and clothes, ur pay an enormous tariff nn the articles We must purchase to enjoy these necessary human comforts, Every thing we con sume has an outrageous. unreasonable, warstarih placed on it, every thing We have tu sell tha, would bring us ready money. is dirt cheap, and almost with out market-place. The above Is the plaintive vail uf the Kansas farmer. and Ingalls is responsible la them. It Is his duty to help them, and if he will not, they will relrgatc him to the rear and into oblivion.
 | By close perusal of the Congress sioual Record since 1873, and especially the last few years, it will be seen that
 Ingalls, great ability has been chiefly employed in looking up special individ-
 ual pension claims, and pushing them through congress. and such other meas ures as would give him the goodwill of the G. X. R.--which Is an organiza- tion, began and maintained, for the purpose of making periodical raids on the federal treasury, i've speak of those who control it,l and in carrying out the dictates of those capitalists who are en- deayoring to acquire and retain absolute despotie power over this government n
 This employment he interlards with occasional eloquential great efforts on the negro question, and other themes calculated to indent prejudice and
 hatred deeper into the Northern mind against the South. In truth lngslls is eunningly devising means and plans to irritate, annoy, and aggravate Southern
