Robert p. Porter says III The National
Tribune: The american farmer Is Just
now passing through the gloomy valley
of hard times. Prices for his products
are low; mortgages, even If made for
purchase money or improvement in more
hopeful times, are pressing, and it is diff
ticult to make both ends meet.
All this is bad enough, but it is made
worse by the constant opportunity it af-

There are but two forms Of govern
ment- first, monarchies, where one man
and Il few Of the nobility (2) rule the peo-
pie. Blooded, landed or moneyed oris-
tocracy are the privileged classes, and
the great mass Of toilers must submit to
such yokes as they choose to put upon
them until their burdens become UNI
bearable; then rely upon the mercy of
the rulers or resort to force, and as the
rulers never come to their relief, the
pages of history record revolution where
by the oppressed acquired freedom from
tyrants. During our colonial period
England attempted to coerce her Ameri-
can subjects into submitting to squeez-
ing process the result we all know. II
brought about the peoples government,
under which government any abuses can
be righted by the use Of the ballot. Our
aim Is to preserve this sacred right. The
ballot rightly used will redress any
wrong. Before you vote in the coming
election, ponder well the following ques-
tions:
Are you satisfied with the rapid ac-
cumulation of wealth in the hands OF
the few, who neither toll nor spinS Are
you satisfied that railroads pile up mil
lions upon millions Of unearned wealth
on their watered stock? Are you salts
fed with the national banking system
whereby our Congressman and Senators
zurich the few TO the detriment Of the
many9 Are you satisfied that the gold
and silver mines are owned by corpora
tions, instead Of the people, like barbariC
Russia, so that they can regulate the out

some and depress others, and then when

TBE FARMERS, NEEDS.

The recent discourse of Mr. DODGE,
the expert of the agricultural depart
ment, showing the farmers how TO rise
from their depression and become obese
and joyous, has not been absorbed by
the tillers of the soil as anticipated.
Perhaps they have neglected to ponder
and digest this high wisdom. The
trouble with the farmers, according to
Mr.. DODGE. is that they grow too much
of some crops, and don't have variety
enough. There is too much wheat and
corn. and this makes plethora Of
bread and meat" There are many
thousands of people in mining and other
regions who have not found plethora
of any kind of food. Mr. DODGE says
half the people of Europe hardly know
the taste of wheat. The trouble, then,
cannot be entirely due to overproduc-
tiun. But he says this country last year
paid S240, 200, 900 for foreign products that
should come from the diversity on home
farms. The big item in this total is
sugar, SSS. ,4l0. Sugar can be made
from beetS and sorghum, but it is
question yet whether it can be made to
pay. 1t may be necessary to import or
transfer a more tropical climate to make
all the sugar used. Hemp and jute are
large items that Mr.. DODGE would have
the farmers grow, and yet it is proposed
in congress to put jute and sisal grass
on the free list as articles not adapted
to this country. The leading other az
ticles in the list are live animals, fruits,
nuts, barley. leaf tobacco, wines, silks,
etc. The live animals imported are
mainly for breeding purposes, the bar
ley from Canada, an article wanted by
brewers to mix with the native prod
uct. The farmers might, perhaps,
grow bananas and pineapples and save
buying them, but it would cost them
vastly more than their market value.
In the main they must rely upon the
staples adapted to the soil and climate.
and their especial need is to have the
expense of producing these made as
free from burdensome conditions as

CHICAGO, April 10.-Each succeeding
meeting for reorganizing the Western
States Passenger association seems to
make more doubtful a settlement of the
demoralized Western passenger situa-
tion. The action of the Trans Missouri
association in resolving Monday to ad-
vance rates in the trans-Missouri terri
tory in spite of the Missouri Pacific,
seemed for time feasible, but the
lines have no concluded that fight
with that line will be more than they
can stand, consequently when the reor-
ganiZatiOn meeting was called together
this morning and the Missouri Pacific
was unrepresented. it was determined
to consider only an advance of rates in
the West and Northwest. 1t was
thought all lines would vote in favor of
return to the old basis, but
vote on the question showed the
burlington & Northern and Wisconsin
Central were opposed to the advance.
The Burlington Il Northern wanted all
outstanding contracts which were in
lmlcal to stable contracts annulled, and
in general, thought it better to consider
such matters before than after an ad-
vance. The Wisconsin Central insisted
Oh fifteen-hOnr trains between Chicago
and st. Paul, instead of the present
thirteen-and-a-half-hour trains. and an
nounced it would vote against an adj
vance in rates until it has carried its
point. The Alton road gave notice
this morning that it would. in ten days,
begin paying regular mileage to ship
pers of stock In common cars. The
consequent reduction Will be from 81
to $40 car. The Alton's notice of
reduction in packing house products
rates to 10 cents. from Kansas City to
Chicago, was voted down, the Alton
alone voting affirmatiyelY. Under the
ten days rule, however, the Alton sig
nified its intention of reducing the rate,

century was man of considerable
reputation as a wag. A couple were
anxious to be married, and, as there
was no minister at hand, they waited
upon Mr.. Thomas, who, as magis.
trate, was authorized to perform the
marriage ceremony.
He was busy writing as they entered,
but paused to inquire what they wanted.
Addressing himself to the man, he
asked if he wished to take that woman
for wife, and, turning to the woman,
he inquired whether she wished to
take that man for husband. TheE he
went OH with his writing.
The parties sat still and waited until
their patience was exhausted. Finally
the man ventured to interrupt Mr..
Thomas, and tell him they were in a
great hurry.
why don't you go along. then?" an
swered the Judge.
"But we want to be married first"
Married! You have been married
more than half an hour"
He explained the requirements of the
law, and the couple withdrew, not
without some misgivings, it is to be
feared, as to the validity of the cere-
mony, so unceremOniouslY performed.
They had certainly been married III
haste, but there is no record that they
repented at leisure.
