NUTS TO CRACK AT THE FARM
ER'S FIRESIDE.
Press Opinions from Many Sources.

The theory of protection briefly
stated, is to take money by law and
away from those who have earned it,
and give it to those who have not
earned it.-Erchamge
Kansas farmers are rushing their
harvesting by moonlight and getting
their grain laid by in the nigh. This
gives them chance to study how to
lay by the politician in the day time.

Will those men who oppose the
Sub Treasury plan place themselves
on record against the national bank
plans, the whisky warehouse plan and
other like schemes ? We pause for
reply.--Scwhern Alliance Fwnaer
How many Alliance men are still
supporting old party papers which
are doing their best to club the order
to death ? Are they so flush with
money that they can afford to supply
the enemy with the sinews Of war ?
What next ?-lEate5noan.
If some of our esteemed exchanges
could see the congregation of farmers
at Emporia to day to listen to the ad
dress of their National President, they
might change their minds about the
Alliance " rapidly approaching disso-
luton. -Emporja { (Kan.) Republican.
The Alliance in Kansas is enjoying
rapid growth from tho best people
among the people. No organization
has ever yet been formed that has
done as much toward arousing the
people to a sense of their danger and
duty as the Alliance has Laborer's
Tribune.
The Alliance is already of so much
Importance in Michigan that the mo-
nopoly agents are at work trying to
get the farmers-to quarreling among
themselves. The Sentinel will be on
guard and warn the fraternity of ap
preaching danger.-Lqnsing Nich.,
Sentinel.
What good does it do to have
Fourth of July celebrations and listen
to g spread eagle" speeches, and de,
clare that all men are born free and
equal, while large majority of man
kind are deprived of their natural
rights and have no inheritance on the
earth Ieras Labor Journal.
We desire very much to have Sena,
tor Vest stay at home fram this winter
on, but if he is to be succeeded by
another man of the same political
complexion, we have no choice. Our
hope lies in the possibilities of getting
true American elected who don't
care for the 6. o. p's. but the people.
La6orer's Tribune.
When the New York Tribune says
"stop," what must be thought of this
pauperizing iniquity 1t explains:
One out of every 88 of our inhabitants
gets an average pension of 1924 an
nually. One twentieth of the voting
population are pensioners. 1t closes
with Further appropriations for
pensions cannot be asked without i'm
periling the continuance of all grants
for that object" )"
Farmers do you want change ?
Are you satisfied with Is cent corn,
II cent oats, so cent wheat, l 4 cent
corn, 5 per cent. taxes, 10 to 20 FER
cent money and mortgages unlimited?
Have you enough of it? Do you care
for the comforts of life, for your
wives and children? Is your family
not entitled ito some pleasures and
enjoyments, the same as the million
airs family ? Union Banner
The editors of the St. Paul Great
Yves: are men who are doing a great
work for the partisan blind farmers of
the West. They have exposed the
corrupt methods of the wheat com
bines, and Immediately wheat jumped
from 60c. to 9Oc. bushel, (which was
noted in the Torch at the tlme), after
the expose. This combine had been
making a clean steal of zoe. bushel
on wheat before the expose.-Torch
Of Liberty.
1t is my firm conviction that the
inexpress;ble miseries inflicted upon
mankind by war, pestilence and
famine, have been less cruel, unpity-
ing and unrelenting than the persist
ent and remorseless exactions which
this inexorable enemy has made upon
society. AS the volume of money
contracts prices decline, and with the

industry, and the relation to idleness
of thousands OF willing workmen.
