TO the State Crop StatistlCIans Of the National
Farmers Alliance and Industrial UnlOn
DEAR BROTHERs:-In transmitting blank
forms for your May reports as 10
acreage Of farm products, feel that |
can not too earnestly impress upon you
and the fraternity the fact that hitherto
spectators and stock exchanges have 80
manipulated the reports OF both Federal
and State agricultural statistlCians as 10
make them false, and instruments sub
servient TO their own selfish gain, and
have thus been enabled TO sell and realize
immense profits on our crops even before
planting or maturity. by such undue
advantages, milllOnalres have become
common, whilst the farmers, robbed OF
their just prices, have grown poorer and
poorer yearly, their farms becoming 80
heavily mOrtgaged as 70 soon pass from
their possession. Thus farm products
are fast becoming appropriated by the
operations OF spectators, and unless this
tendency shall be checked, the next gen
Grafton Of farmers will be a generation Of
tenants at-will.
Under such serious and impending
conditions II Is evident that In full de-
velopment of our strength and a fearless
enforcement Of those true and patriotic
principles found In the announced teach
ings and cherished doctrines Of the
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union,
lies che prosperity and financial safety Of
the productive classes Of our common
country, who have 80 long borne the OPP
presssOns Of reckless spectators, s0ulless
corporations, and unjust legislation.
We can hope TO reach our desired and
wholesome results only through the vital
and harmonious efforts of every member
OF our brotherhood 10 all Of lts depart
ments.
To efficiently utilize the full force and
effect Of our unity, IL Is essential chat
every member be thoroughly enlightened
with accurate knowledge Of the ereent and
amount OfOur leading farm prOdtcts, such
as cotton, tobacco, corn, wheat, ETC., as

ANSWER QUESTIONS.

The general complaint of the imperti-
nence of number of the questions to
be asked by the census takers, mainly
confined to the half dozen added to
the list by Supt. PORTER, has induced
the head of the work, Prof. PORTER. to
graciously abate all direct menace and
put opposite the names the suggestive,
"Refused to answer" In legal tri-
bunals, where witnesses refuse to
answer, the usual inference is that facts
offensive to the party are included in
the Interrogation. The questions are all
to be asked according to the schedule,
and the party, with the natural suffu
sion of the countenance that the aver
age citizen feels in the presence of
national authority, is unable to restrain,
a refusal is given to the questions and
the official makes the entry. He makes
mental note that there is a skeleton
in the closet" as 1t were, and the story
goes into the official tones that the IN
formation is denied. For instance, the
supposltion may go that the timid
young woman has been party to di-
yorce. OF has some physical affliction
that she will not reveal. A man may
have been in Jail, had some of his fam
lily hung, or his mother may be a laun-
dry artist, while he puffS cigarettes.
Silence gives consent and still don't
relieve him from the danger of the pen
atty. 1t will be the easiest way to
answer questions in good humor and as
fully as seems reasonable.
