WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Nov. II, $780,
Mr.. Harrison has shut his eyes to the
results of the recent elections, and
made up his mind to urge in his an,
nual message to Congress the passage
by the Senate of the Force bill and
by the House of the notorious ship
subsidy bills. In short, he has, in
spite of the protests of some of the
most far-seeing members of his par
ty, including Mr., Blaine, determined
to east his lot with the radical wing
of the republican party. That how>
ever does not mean that the Force
bill will be passed. All indications
are against its passage, as it is certain
that more republican Senators would
now vote against it than would have
done so mt the last session of Con,
gress had ii then reached IA vote

Farmer Mutual BENEFIT Associatfon.

=
The association was formed for the
purpose Of redressing the wrongs Of
farmers. Our organization is not in
tended to interfere with any legitimate
business, nor injure in any way those
connected with other industries. For
the intelligence of the farmers is such as
to cause them to understand to the fullest
extent that all interests of the common
wealth are to some degree allied and de-
pendent ON each other. We have no
grievance against the original manufac-
turer of such articles as we use, but we
do complain against that great class who,
like leeches, extort from the farmers the
profits that by hard labor they have dug
from the ground.
mean the middle men. We as an Or
ganization believe that it would be bet
ter for the manufacturers and more sat
isfactory to our class If we could con-
trive some means by which we could
deal directly with the producer and
thereby lessen the cost that is necessarily
imposed by these men, who live for no
other purpose than to add to the original
price of articles used by the agricultural
class. This organization has for it's pur-
pose the advantages gained by exchang-
ing ideas, experiences and sympathy and
by mutual council, disseminating timely
and important information. By thus
uniting ourselves we can unity our in
terests and combine our strength.-C. j.

When 1t Began.

In letter to The California National
list j. s. Barbee says: 1.-The Farmers AL
lance originated in the county of Lam
pasas, Texas, in 1874. 1t was got up by
five hard working farmers as home
protection against the large cattle syndi-
Gates of west Texas, who made their
grand round up every spring, and it was
not regarded then as stealing to brand
all the unbranded calves that unfortu-
tunately fell into the round up, no mat
ter whose COW the calf claimed as it's
mother.
1.-THE man who had the best cowboys
and worked the earliest, hardest and latest
generally got the most calves branded.
These five men called themselves The
Farmers Alliance Their first step was
to organize, and then to cooperate, and
this first attempt at cooperation was in
the form of compact, which provided
that first one and then the other Of
the five members should be in his
saddle day and night as long rs the
round mp lasted, and see to it that their
calves escaped or received their own
brands"

Depreciation of PennsyIv Farms.

Depreciation Of Pennsylvania Farms.
Many farmers have become bankrupt
lately in Lancaster county, Pa The
Philadelphia Record says that much of
this is due = speculation and careless
ness. and ADDS: Yet, putting aside these
special causes of trouble, which go to
show that farmers are pretty apt to make
a botch of it when they turn aside from
the pillow to speculate and dabble in other
matters. there is no denying that farm
ing is much less profitable than it was
some years ago. Within the past decade
the value of farm lands and products in
this county has fallen off millions of dol
lars. Some twenty-five years ago farm
near this city was sold for $4,000, of
which sec, 900 was paid in cash and $40,-
600 remained on a mortgage. It was
sold while ago for $4,000, and the
farmer who had imagined himself worth
SEQ, 900 was really a bankrupt, with his
liabilities 81 900 greater than his assets.

Senator Stanford has introduced a
bill embodying his ideas Of the sOlu-
ton OF the agricultural problem. 1t
provides for the establishment in the
Treasury department of land loan
bureau, empowered TO loan on unen-
numbered land one half of its assessed
value at the rate Of two per cent per
annum, no loans to run longer than
twenty years. The idea has more ad-
vocates out Of than in Congress, and
there is not the slightest probability
oflts becoming law during the life
ofthe present Congress- Washington

Senator Vests Views.

Senator Vest sums up the farmers
troubles thus: OverproductiOn, scarcity
Of the circulating medium, com binations
between spectators in grain options and
tariff taxation. While the protection
lists say that prime solution is the di-
versifcation of industries by fostering
manufactures, he says: lone cause be-
yond question of the present conditions is
the fact that we have abnormally and I'M
naturally stimulated manufactures at
the expense of agriculture and COM
merce."
But he has very general sympathy in
the following: Another cause of the I'M
fortunate aspect of the agricultural
question is the insufficient quantity of
money now in circulation. For many
years the money power has controlled
the finances with the dominant idea
always active of making the circulating
medium smaller in order to increase it's
purchasing power and thereby adding to
incomes. Silver, which has been de-
graded by the same influences, should be
fully remonetized and placed upon the
Sttilc DtSiS Will SOiu dc a. uoHOy hOOuAs
If this is done it will 60 far towards re-
lieving the farmer from his present diff
culties.
With other misfortunes, agriculture
has been the victim of that most I'M
worthy mass of speculators-the gam
blers in grain options-whose business
directly preys upon the farmer. An ex-
ample of their disastrous work was seen
in 1884, when the entire wheat crop Of
the United States amounted to $50, O00,-
600 bushels, and the limited supply in
duced many persons to enter the market
with the expectation that the price of
wheat would certainly go up. In order
to secure the margins combination was
made at Chicago. which decreased the
price from ninety-six cents to sixty-fve
cents per bushel in few days. and the
result was a loss of many millions, not
only to spectators, for whom there can
be little commiseration. but to the farm
ers who raised the wheat.
