The Farmers Not 10 Blame.

To the Editor of the REFLECTOR.
l believe there is no law on our stat
ute books which prevents a man from
making an ass of himself, but after
reading Ex-Governor Geo. T. Anthony's
speech at the meeting Of the State
Board of Agriculture, l have come to
the conclusion that our law in this di-
rection should be amended. In this
remarkable address, he says the farm
ers are blaming the Almighty for ex-
cessive crops and low prices; this he
says is wrong, and he must rebuke the
farmer for it, and advises them to ex-
ercise patience and all will come
right in due time, and then goes on to
give a graphic picture of the wasteful-
ness and lack of economy of the aver
age Kansas farmer, in which he says
they make hen roOsts of expensive ma
chinery, and buy all manner of unnec-
essary implements, and thereby cover
themselves with mortgages; that it was
useless to depend on legislative relief:
that one good cow on a farm was worth
more TO farmer than all the legisla-
ton that had been or ever would be
enacted; that deep blowing is worth
more to a farmer than deep water
transportation, and he boldly threw
back on the people the responsibility of
the present staIe Of affairs and greatly
deplored the tendency of the people
towards seeking legislative relief, and
that rigid individual economy was
what the people most wanted.
The above extracts from his remarks
are sufficient to show that his speech is
not only an insulting drive at the farm
er, but a contemplate insult which
every Kansas farmer will resent, and
will offer his protest against the unjust
standard by which ex-Gov. Anthony
proposes to measure them. We think
the ex-governor will yet find that the
average farmers not only know the
value of good COW on the farm, and
understand something about economy
and self-abnegatiOn, and the value and
Importance of deep water transpOrta-
ton, but that they are also beginning
to know something more about the
would-be statesman than is agreeable
to the average politician who would
much rather see the farmer look after
the pillow than legislation; and that
they propose in the future tn look after
their legislative interests, ard it may
be that some politicians will find that
they know full as well how to run
their farms and legislation as some
other people know how to run a cheese
factory. He closed his address by an
elegant apoStrophe to tie Kansas State
Agricultural society, which is doing so
much for tie farmers, butH notice that
when G. M.OLuteS' paper OH railroad
transportation came up for discussion
that Mr.. Wheeler, of iAtehisOn, thought
the railroads had done more for the
people than anything else, and must be
protected, i'll which all are concerned.
When we consider that the members
Of the State Board of Agriculture all
ride on free passes, and that eX-GOv.
Anthony draws $4,000 salary as rail
road commissioner, we get at the milk
in the cocoanut.
