Agitation the Thing.

A look over the country humiliates
one to see that thousands of farmers still
linger in listless ignorance outside of the
only order that can avail them anything
in the battle of life. But the most hui
initiating of it all is to see the egotistical
class of farmers, whose pretenses are
that they need none of the aids of organ
ization to place themselves above the
common level of the toiling producers of
the country. They are sufficient them
selves. and do not see that though they
may, by the aid of circumstances. float
on the top of the sea of prosperity, both
of these classes need the awakening in
Auence that may be exerted by some
plan of open meetings on the part of the
Alliance.
If two or three Alliances in one coun-
ty should resolve to hold meetings of
this kind every two months, first at one
place and then at another, and should
invite and have good reasons to expect
the presence of officers of the State ALI

Webb and Toucey.

Mr.. Webb and Mr.. Toucey, who at
present usurp Mr.. Depew's functions,
are men cast in an entirely different
mold. Mr.. Webb is handsome young
gentleman, who in his brief career has
successfully been classical scholar, a
chemist. an engineer. lawyer. broker,
banker, man of leisure, bank director and
vice president of railroad. He was born
with silver spoon in his mouth. and
through the judicious marriages of the
members of his family has managed to
pass his life almost exclusively in the
society of millionaires. Despite his
wealth and position he is noted for his
absence of generosity and utter apathy
to all people who are not born under the
same pecuniary star us himself. To say
that he is not in sympathy is to say
nothing. He has no conception of the
wants, desires and tendencies of the
working people, and no more feeling for
them than for the ties and rails Of his
tracks.
Mr.. Toucey is a hard hearted, hard
listed employer who obeys orders to the
letter. A workingman once himself, he
has risen from the ranks and become a
very rich man. He is thorough dis
ciplinarian. and. were he so directed by
his superiors, would be as warm friend
of labor and labor unions rs he is now
bitter enemy. In the present conflict he
is a mouthpiece and general factotum of
young Mr.. Webb.-New York Letter to
Philadelphia Inquirer.

The following from The Burlington
Hawkeye indicates that the editor wants
his readers to believe he thinks the
farmer is prospecting, and that the rail-
roads and Mr.. Depew are his best
friend:
The farmers Of the country, and es-
pecially those who look upon the rail
roads as their worst enemies, should
read Chauncey M. Depew's address to
the New York State Agricultural soci-
ETY., delivered some days ago. He said:
"The railroad first developed the agri-
cultural resources Of our country, then
threatened their paralysis. and now, un-
der wiser administration on the one
hand and more liberal understanding
on the other, the farm and the railroad
are seen to be inseparably united as al
lies and partners. The blight of the
one is the bankruptcy of the other"
Every student of political economy
sees the truth of this assertion, but too
many of the farmers never get beyond
the second stage noted by Mr.. Depew
They still look upon the railroads as
working to paralyze agricultural inter
ests. To them the speakers figures are
instructive. He showed that within the
past twenty years railway rates have
gone down over 100 per cent mean
ing, doubtless. 80 per cent, or one-half-
while farm products have fallen but 30
per cent. 1.-THE rates of 1870, applied to
the TONNAGE of 1890 wOuld have Welded
for the year 81 900, ZOO, 900 more than
the gross revenue of the railroads Of
the United States"
This is practically $1.000,OOO, 900 a
year given to the farmers to enable them
to make farming pay. 1t isl phase of
the subject that too many railroad theo-
rists are too apt not to think about.

Railroads run the state of Nebraska.
They nominate and elect the officials
they counsel and bride the legislators,
they guide the hand of the governor,
and they can be found clothed in the
ermine sitting in it's courts. There is
hardly county official in the whole
state who has not in his pocket annual
passes over nearly every railway line in
Nebraska. They have seized the lands
of the people, they have controlled the
supply and regulated the prices of agri-
cultural prodT-ts, they have made the
most exorbit:2t charges for hauling
grain and freight, and compelled the state
board of transportation to back them up
and report adversely against the COM
claimants. Under this state of affairs,
and what with unjust taxation, broken
pledges and crops burned by heat and
nipped by early frosts, it is little wonder
that the farmers of Nebraska are allied
together $4,000 strong.-Omaha Dis

The Poor Banker.

All local and county organizations
throughout Alabama are holding meet
ings and binding members by resolutions
and written agreements not to sell their
cotton crop until the price has been
forced up to figure satisfactory to the
Alliance. The members readily enter into
these agreements, believing they can
hold the bulk of the cotton crop until the
price will be forced up to 10 cents or
higher.
If this arrangement is carried out it
means ruin to thousands of merchants
and many bankers in the south. Ninety
per cent. of the cotton crop is sold when it
is planted, and the crop is grown on
credit The farmer owes the merchant,
the merchant owes the banker, and the
banker in many cases owes his eastern
correspondent. The merchants notes to
the banker fall due from Oct. 10 to Nov.
1, and the bankers paper in New York is
due little later. If the farmer does not
sell his cotton he cannot pay his mer-
chant, and the latter cannot pay the
banker-Cor. New York Times.

King Doodle.

No wonder the farmers have started a
new party. The leaders of the old ones
have for some years been acting on the
supposition that the people are so stupid
as to be satisfied to vote for the party
that could show that the other one was
the meaner. For a while it did look as
though this sort of peanut politics would
work forever. The farmers movement
is proof that something besides prejudice
must be used to get votes hereafter. But
is the new party strong enough in the
girth here in Colorado to clash swords
with the giants of the Doodle elements?
After all is not King Doodle the power
in politics?-Denver Field and Farm.

farmer pretty generally prosperous in

farms and dismal outlook. While the
section of the state visited by Secretary
Dye is the wealthiest agricultural re-
gion, he thinks what he ascertained in
that section is largely true of the farmer
in other portions Of the state. He was
surprised to find people going west,
away from the advantages at home, and
paying about as much per acre for land,

The Hayseed.

Ionce was the tool Of oppression,
And as green as O sucker could be,
And monopolies banded together
To beat hayseed like me.
The railroads and old party bosses
Together did sweetly agree,
And they thought there would be little troubl
In working hayseed like me.
And at every election they fed me
With taffy as sweet as could be,
But when they elected their ticket
They forgot poor hayseed like me-
They sold themselves out to the banker,
And thought it would be a fine spree
To fire all the greenbacks and silver,
And rob all such hayseeds as me.
They went into league with the devil
For the sake Of high license fee,
But never a cent of the profits
Has come to a hayseed like me.
But now l have reused up little,
And their greed and corruption I see,
And my neighbors are waking around me,
And find they're all hayseeds like me.
And so we have formed an alliance,
From oppression we are bound to be free.
And the ticket we vote next November
Will be made up of hayseeds like me.
We're bound to uphold our strong platform
In spite of The Omaha Bee,
And the railroads will go to the bottom
BY the vote of such hayseeds as me.

TWO PRICES.

Scale Of Pr ces Of American Made Imple.
ments In .ipain and the United States.
If there are any doubling Thomases
among the farmers whom this article
may reach we desire to call their atten-
ton to few hard facts and plain figures.
The guarantee Of their genuineness lies
in the fact that they are advertisements
put forth in bold type and paid for by
the monopolists, who thus openly ex-
hibit the margin Of excessive profits they
are levying upon the American farmer
by a1G through the tariff.
Tho present tariff tax upon farming
implements is about As per cent, so that
nearly one-half of the price paid by the
iaxmor for his tools is tribute levied
upon him by the manufacturing mon
opolist. We will further add that the
protective duty in this case is practically
prohibitory, and thus becomes a solid
wall against foreign competition.
Where duty is SO high as to become
prohibitory the home manufacturer can
not possibly compete on the home scale
of prices in foreign markets. The re-
suit is that if he goes into foreign mar
ket he must sell to the foreigner cheaper
than to his own cOuntrymen.
Need we point out to any American
farmer the shame involved in such
transaction? It means that after taxing
him nearly one-half of what he pays for
his farming tools, on the ostensible
ground Of raising his condition above
that Of the foreigner, the manufacturer
uses the tax as fund to enable him to
hand over bonus to that very foreigner
by underselling the foreign manufact-
urer. In other words, the American
farmer makes a forced contribution to
the foreign farmer out of his hard earn
ings, and all this on the pretense of
raising his condition above that of the
latter. There is no farmer so dull as
not to take in the gross injustice of this
discrimination at glance.
Now for the facts in black and white.
The Ann Arbor, Mich, Agricultural
company is probably the largest pro-
Queer of agricultural machinery in this
country. The New York American
Mail and Export Journal regularly car
ries large mass of advertisements of
farming tools. with illustrated cuts, and
it prints special editions with reprints of
these same advertisements how
ever, in important points-for circula-
ton in foreign countries. Here is a
literal reprint in parallel columns Of the
advertised scale Of prices of the Ann
Arbor concern at home and abroad:

Bad Figuring.

Figures are fearful things when they
are wrongfully handled. For instance,
an agricultural contemporary states that
the number of farm mortgages in Kan
sas to be foreclosed this year is esti-
mated at 1850, amounting to 5000, 000,-
600. At its best this farm mortgage
business is bad, but if our contemporary
is right in its figures there is more
money in mortgaging Kansas farms
than in raising wheat or corn on them.
The above figures give an average of
more than $4,000 mortgage indebted
ness on each of the 1850 farms.-Farm-
ers' Friend.
