10 the State Crop StatistiCians Oi the National
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Unions
DEAR BROTHEls:In transmitting blank
forms for your May reports az 20
acreage Of farm products, | feel that |
can not too earnestly impress upon you
and the fraternity the fact that hitherto
spectators and stock exchanges have 90
manipulated the reports of both Federal
and State agricultural statlstlClans as 20
make them false, and instruments sub
serVi0nt 10 their own selfish gain, aud
have thus been enabled 10 sell and realize
immense profits on our crops even before
planting or maturity. By such undue
advantages, mllllOnaires have become
common, whilst the farmers, robbed OF
their just prices, have grown poorer and
poorer yearly, their farms becoming 90
heavily mortgaged as ~ soon pass from
their possession. Thus farm products
are fast becoming appropriated by the
operations OF spectators, and unless this
tendency shall be checked, the next geR-
Grafton Of farmers will be a generation OF
tenants at-wlll.
Under such serious and impending
conditions Il Is evident that In full de-
velopment Of our strength and fearless
enforcement Of those true and patriotic
principles found In the announced teach
Ings and cherished doctrines of the
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union,
lies the prosperity and financial safety Of
the productive classes OF our common
country, who have 80 long borne the OPP
presssOns Of reckless spectators, s0ulless
corporations, and unjust legislation.
We can hope Co reach our desired and
wholesome results only through the vital
and harmonious efforts OF every member
Of our brotherhood In all OF lts depart
ments.
To efficiently utilize the full force and
effect Of our unity, II is essential that
every member be thoroughly enlightened
with accurate knowledge Of the srteRt and
amount oCOUr leading farm products, such
as cotton, tobacco, corn, wheat, ETC., %
we'll as TO have a clear conception OF our
natural and legal rights under the spirit
and language Of the organic law Of our
Government, and TO obtain such infOrma-
tiOn as 10 farming statistics In reliable
form we must depend upon such re-
sources as are within our organization.

tive Board 10 make such crop reports 20

Special Correspondence Of the Standard.
BUTTE, July 26.-Blanche Desjardins
and Alex Tetrault were tried in the po-
lice court this afternoon for disturbing
the peace. Corine LaRousche, Matte
Anderson and Lucy Doe testified that
Blanche and her .'friend'' had assaulted
the first named witness by pulling her
hair and beating her. The cries Of Cor
rine attracted the attention Of Lucy, who
rushed 10 the rescue. SnatchinR a club
from Blanche, who was endeavoring
TO u-e il on Corinne, Miss Doe ''sailed in"
and used II so effectively that Blanche
and Alex were compelled to beat a hasty
retreat.
The :wo defendants denied everything
and accused the complaining witness Of
being the N that began the trouble.
Their testimony was highly con
Trajectory and at times so
nalpably false that the court finally lost
all rstience and openly accused the wo-
man az having pcr1ured herself, and said
that il she had her just deserts she would
be in the ~penitentiary. This friendly re-
mark was followed by the imposition OF a
fine of $40 and costs against each defend
ant. Notice Of sppeaI was given and the
defendants and tt>!r attorney left ut once

but, as we said before, the owners will not
sell at n reasonable figure, therefore they
must remain idle IN business i'm tile
country must remain co~rrespondinRly

There are persons owning mining
claims i'm this district who never have nor
never will develop them. They have To-
Gated e for the sole purpose of specu-
lation, thereby keeping miners who would
work away from the lamp. They expect
some one to come In and develop the
country, while they sit around on the
street corners and tell strangers what u
fine mining camp we have. Such per-
SONS are q detriment to the camp, and
the sooner they get up and 20 away the
better il will be for the camp. There are
a few persons here that are doing all
they can to develop their property, but
the remainder are sitting around waiting
to reap the benefit of their work. Now go
to work and open your mines, SO a person
who wants to buy can see there is some
thing in them, or get out. There is no
longer room for drone here.
