to the most preposterOus acts OF bad
faith and legalized robbery that ever
oppressed free nation since the
dawn of history"
A similar state of affairs is about
to prevail now. The Pennsylvania
railroad, through its attorney, has in
troduced into the house bill to grant
that party public streets and parks in
this city, for which the company does
not propose to pay anything. The
value of this public property is worth
ten million dollars. 1t belongs to the
whole people of the United States.
But because members Of congress are
paid princely price to work and vote
for this bill they are willing to de-
fraud the people. Atkinson, Of
Pennsylvania, and Buchanan, of New
Jersey, are straining hard to give This
bill good run. Their constituencies
are largely farmers. This movement
now i'm congress is nothing short of
moral outrage on the farmers and
they ought TO know it.
The present movement among the
farmers is birth of the times, whose
mother is necessity. Its growth and
prosperity lie in the very genius Of
events political, and conditions agri-
cultural. The fealty of the agricul-
tural classes 10 justice, right and pat
rotism is a record of history. The
very best movements in political econ
omy have always sprung from the
farmers.

There is an increasing number Of writ
ers and speakers who unhesitatingIy de-
clare that the farmer has been syste-
matically, persistently and outrageously
robbed. We need not go SO fan as this,
not so much because the statement is I'M
true as because it has hard, disagfeea-
bic sound. and seems SO eXtrava2ant in
its nature as to repel many candid peo-
pie from calm investigation of the
facts in the case. If the granary of
single farmer be entered in the night.
and one-third of the contents stolen, the
act would be termed thAet and the actor
thief, and if caught he would pun
ished as one.
If the granaries of all farmers had suf-
fered the same treatment it would be the
most gigantic robbery on record, but
crime of what we may call the unpup-
ishable size. If it should appear that in
stead of this last supposition, by means
of the sllillful manipulation of legisla-
ton, one-third of the selling price of the
contents of all the farmers granaries Lad
Leen kept out of the hands of the lawful
owners. would not the farmers be just as
badly off in this as in the other case
when we called it robbery? What mat
tiers it to the farmer whether the Just re-
ward of his labor is taken from him or
kept out of his reach!-E. M. Burchard

the past two years The temporary or
ganization effected at q previous meet
ing was made permanent and consti-
tuition and bylaws adopted. An execu-
tive committee of one in each town was
appointed to act with the officers in
managing the affairs of the association
and assist in receiving members from
their respective towns. "A large number
of farmers has already joined the asso-
citation, and any person who gave notes
of this kind and wishes to defend their
collection is eligible for membership.
The association is to pay the expenses of
defending all of its members who are
sued in these notes, and each member is
to pay his proportional hare.-Lockport

New Movement Among Farmers
lBy Scott F. Hershey published in the Midla nd
The other day / was casually walk
ing along the street, when friend
standing in doorway called me in
and invited me to look through the
establishment in which he was a
bookeeper. 1t proved to be the print
ing house of The National Econo-
mist" the official organ of the Ma
tional Farmers Alliance, and Indus
trial Union. / was surprised at the
magnitude of the growth of a paper,
the existence of which barely knew.
And | was amazed at the magnitude
Of the movement represented by this
paper. / had known that for several
months there was quite stir among
the farmers of the land, and that they
had publication here at the capital.
Beyond that l knew little. Within
twenty minutes a new world had
opened to me. / saw the most posi-
tive evidence of one of the greatest
revolutions in thought and legisla-
ton that has yet come 10 this country.
Here is paper Of sixteen pages only
fourteen months old, and has $4,000
paying subscribers. For conserva-
tive, solid sheet, this is perhaps un-
precedensed i'm the history of Ameri-
can newspapers. This rapid growth
indicates the immense and startling
spread of the powerful organizations
for which 1t speaks.
was told by the manager of this
enterprise that the Farmers Alliance
was strongest in the west and south
Texas has the largest number Of mem
bcrs and Kansas comes second. This
increase is by the thousand per week,
and now and then swell tide rolls
over certain section and ten thou
sand new members will be enrolled
III single week.
There is, beyond all precedence, a
flood tide of thought, conviction and
action rolling through the agriculture
al communities. The farmers Of the
land think they have been imposed
on by all sorts of cunning sharks.
They think the laws have inadequate
ly protected them. They think they
have been defrauded by the moneyed
combinations against which they
have protested in vain. They think
their interests have not been preserv-
ed by legislation. They think they
have been betrayed by Legislature and
congress, which are most always un-
der the domination of lawyers. And
to sustain these complaints, like the |
ancient yeOmen of our country, they |
make an appeal to facts. They claim
the soil is just as fertile as in years
gone by. They claim they toll just as
hard. They claim they economic as
carefully. Thew claim they exercise
even more care in the choice of seed.
Notwithstanding these facts, the val
lie of farming land has been slowly
decreasing, and the bottom is not yet
reached. And they protest against
becoming a class of serfs. Their case
is strong and they make it out well.
Their complaint that congress is
often nothing more than legislative
power to betray the peoples rights
and money to overpowering none ia
~ com bipation, is at times quite cor
rect. They do not forget the terrible

Christian friend, read ;hal again.
The Brookhaven leader., 1890-04-10

have learned that certain parties in town who
would IKE 70 cover uptheir hypocritical con
duct, are trying to justify themselves in public
opinion by making statements that wilfufy
neglected paying taxes on my house and home
and that Il was by my carelessness that It was sol
and passed date Of redemption before I knew
anything about It, This misrepresentation is as
mean rs the hypocritical act Of enncealment from
neighbor, while pretending friendship.
As for the tfuthfulness Of these statements l
beg the pusllc to carefully read what I will now
state.
In 1881 I bought three blocks Of land-55, &c
and 57-and when I called on the sheriff tn pay
taxes In January. 1888, for the year 1881, fourd
that block 81 was not properly assessed, and
then and there had it properly assessed and
the same marked paid, as 10 the parties TO whom
it was assessed. Now in Janulry, 1880, when
paid taxes for 1888, The Sheriff, by my request,
was kind enough to bring my tax receipt to
my store, and when he gave It to me and receiv-
ed the money asked him II 1t was right, and he
told me it was right; but while paid on the full
valuation OF the property, the Sheriff failed to
mark lot 81 on my receipt. In the spring follow
ing had cause to examine our corporation as
sessment books, and found them correct and
then gave the Sheriff my numbers, 50, 5G and 81,
and asked him II my land was all right. aud he
told me the day after that It was. In 1880,
again paid taxes and paid on the whole OF three
blocks as assessed, and still got no Information
Of 81 being sold year before.
Now, submit these facts to any business man
and ask II have not, and did not use diligence
in attending 10 the payment of taxes as due:
And now, after this, and the State has her full
taxes from me every year, an attempt Is being
made to rob me OF my house and home. Wei, l.
have faith In the virtue OF our Mississippi laws,
and our courts, and don't believe they will pro-
teet theft. don't accuse our Sheriff with any
wilful neglect, but do say that under the cir
cumstances my property was wrongfully sold,
and say more, that the State had collected
from me every cent due her for taxes ON that
property before 1t was sold and afterwards too,
