ON VERGE OF FORECLOSURE.
The Deplorabie State OF AfiaIrs Among
the Kansas Farmers.

the Kansas Farmers.
CHICAGO, March IA dispatch from
Topeka. Kansas, says:
The Farmers Alliance, which has
within six months become the most
powerful farmers organization that
Kansas has ever known, has through
its president. addressed an open letter
to the Kansas delegation in Congress,
calling their attention 20 the alarming
condition of the agricultural interests
of this State and demanding legislation
for their relief. The letter says: 1--WE
call attention to the fact that single
law firm in one city in Southern Kansas
now has the contract for the
foreclosure of 1.sOO mortgages.
This means l.S00 hOmeSteadS trans
ferrcd from the hands Of so many
industrious families to the hands of cap
taliStS, either domestic or foreign.
The foreclosure of these mortgages is in
accordance with prccOnceived purpose
to gain possession Of these farms and
people them with more Servile tcnan-
try imported from foreign lands for this
especial purpose. Foreclosures and
|evictionS are taking place in many parts
OF our State and we need not go all the
way To Europe TO witness scenes of cru
city in matters of this kind. All over
the State the homes of our people are
imperiled. They are struggling against
adverse circumstances and almost
against hope to sustain themselves until
relief shall come. The people believe
that these conditions are largely due to
vicious legislation. They have been
promised by each of the great political
parties that something would
be done for their relief; both parties
have been tried and both have thus far
failed even 10 attempt any measure con-
tcmplating bcttermcnt of the cOndi-
tion of the Industrial masses. They
have seen that while they have been
compelled TO sacrifice their products in
many instances. absolutely below cost Of
production in order to procure the com
mon necessities of life and in the effort
in many cases unsuccessful, TO keep the
sheriff from invading their homes. their
representatives in Congress are engaged
in the consideration of every imaginable
question except such questions as con-
template relief to the distress Of their
constituents. These are measures
which the farmers demand shall have
immediate attention. These relate to
questions Of money, OF transportation
and of their ownership of American
lands"
