After a Land Stealer.

There is movement on foot among a
large number of farmers in Wyandotte
and adjoining counties to compel the
Union Pacific Railway company to re-
linquish its claim to right Of way 400
feet wide from Muncie Station to Fort
Riley. Kan. The company now holds
an easement, it claims, for 400 foot
right Of way between these points, and
the farmers are determined to prevent
it from claiming right of way for more
than 100 feet wide. The franchise no
doubt is very valuable, and the COM
pany, if it has any claim to it, will hate
to give it up. The farmers claim that
the company can show no records that
such transaction was ever made, and
they are puzzled to know on just what
grounds the company will make de-
Tense if the case is taken to the supreme
court.
A meeting was held in the western
part of Wyoming county, and it was de-
cided to lay the matter before congress,
with hopes of gaining some relief with
out going to the courts, but in case con-
gress refuses to take hand in the mat
ter it will come up before the United
States supreme court. - Kansas City

Unfair Taxation.

Senator Gerald Brown, state lecturer
of the Pennsylvania grange, said in
speech at Williams Grove that the
necessity of uniting in one supreme eff
fort for the correction Of the unequal
and unjust system of taxation prevail
ing in Pennsylvania had greatly in
creased by reason Of the depressed agri
cultural interests. What could be toll
Grated in prosperous times could not
now be endured. when the owners of
real estate were not only obliged to pay
their own tax, but large majority of
that levied on other property holders
Real estate was taxed seventeen mills,
but the holder of city and borough prop
erty could, and did, recoup himself to
large degree by making up for the dis
elimination against real estate by COM
handing corresponding higher rents
The farmer had no power to raise the
price of his products, and so repay him.

Sensible Resolutions.

At the recent Farmers congress held
in Council Bluffs the following were
among the resolutions adopted:
Resolved. That at the Columbian expo
sition to be held in Chicago III 1893 the
agricultural and horticultural interests
OF the United States should be most
prominently and grandly represented,
and to that end it is recommended that
the various state legislatures make lib
eral appropriations for the creditable ex-
hibition of the agricultural and horti-
cultural resources and possibilities Of
their respective states.
Resolved. That the adulteration Of food
has become so general throughout the
United States and detrimental to the in
terests of the farmer that we believe it
demands national legislation: and be it
further
Resolved, That we ask that you pass
resolutions indorsing and demanding the
passage of the pure food bill now before
congress.
Resolved. That this congress demands
the amendment of the patent law so
that the exclusive use of an invention be
limited to ten years.

and claimed to be for their interest, we
believe we have the right as an Alliance
to express our opinion relating to it's
worth; therefore be it
Resolved, By this Austin County
Farmers Alliance, in regular session in
the town of Bellville, July 81, 1890, that
we are opposed to said sub-treasury bill
because it's tendency is toward centrali-
cation; it is robbing one man for the
benefit of another, and that it is con-
trary to one Of the cardinal principles of
the Alliance. Equal rights to all and
special favors to none. Texas Farmer.

WHAT IT HAS DUNE.
The influence of the Farmers Congress
Upon Important Questions.

The influence of the Farmers Congress
Upon Important Questions.
II is interesting to note the work which
the Farmers congress has actually &C
complished during the ten years of it's
existence. For half a decade it was a
small and comparatively an insignificant
body, attracting little attention and
welding little influence. During the last
five years it has steadily grown in num-
bers and influence, and it hasa record to
which many longer established and
larger organization might refer to with
pride.
The passage Of the interstate commerce
law was largely and directly the result OF
the efforts of the congress, and the resolu-
tons which it urged on the attention Of
congress year after year. The recog-
milton of the agricultural interests of the
country in the presidents cabinet in the
appointment of a secretary of agricult-
ure is another thing which the con-
gress resolved, and resolved on again and
again before it was finally accomplished.
The enlargement of the signal service is
partly the work of the farmers congress,
and has been urged repeatedly at the an
nual meetings of that body.
The free coinage of silver was another
theme for numerous resolutions on the
part of the congress, and the farmers
have a right to lay claim to some of the
credit of the measure. which was finally
passed.
Looking to the future the congress de-
mands the free coinage of American
bullion. It asks legislation restricting
trusts and other combinations affecting
agricultural products of all kinds. 1t
asks the passage of the law creating the
Hennepin canal and further improving
the great waterways of the country.
and for the passage of the deep water
harbor bill for the establishment of
deep harbor on the Gulf of Mexico. The
legislation which has been passed re-
garding oleomargarine and other spuri-
GUS products of a similar nature has
been urged by the congress, and it is
still demanding more of the same thing.

Wealth and Taxes.

In 1850 farmers owned 20 per cent. Of
the wealth Of the country and paid 85
per cent. of the taxes
In 1860 they owned so per cent. of the
wealth of the country and paid 81 per
cent of the taxes
In 1880 they owned only 25 per cent.
of the wealth. and yet paid 80 per cent.
of the taxes.

Decides .Another Question!


A triangular contest between James
Mckercher and John Bertrand, home
steaders, and Napolean Baudin pre-.
emptor. was tried at the Marquette land
Office Thursday, and decided in favor
of Bertrand. The land involved is in
the forfeited limits of the NJ. III. & o.

the land some time prior to it's for

actual residence. Bertrand IN ,de set

forfeiture bill was signed by the presi-
dent, but had not taken out his first

improvements Bertrand proceeded to

the 9Th. The same day March g.
Baudia made settlement ON the land.
The decision virtually hold that Nc
