earnestly wish and hope that The

similar trenchant blows against these
monopolies which the foolish people have
created to crush themselves, and that it
will give its powerful aid to the move
ment now making by the Labor party
to elect members to the legislature who
shall be pledged to do all they can, if
necessary by obstructing the organiza-
ton OF the house, to bring about such
legislation as shall make the railroads,
telegraphs, ETC., to be the property of
the people, and to be conducted in the

railroading henceforth shall be that the
public get the best service at the price

THE WHEEL THAT GRlNDS.

mentuIn and Are Crushed by 1t.
Especial Correspondence
There is q large wheel. 1t is nicely
adjusted and controlled by skillful hands.
For ten months in the year it grinds ex-
ceedingly fine. Then the fine Italian
hands that guide it's cunning ways relax,
the pressure is relieved and the grind
ing process ceases for while. What is
it? Machine politics.
For ten months in the year, under the
crushing process of this mighty engine,
the worliingmen groan and fret and
whine about the unjust laws, the op-
preston Ct capitalistic methods, the ar
>rogance Of politicians and the corrupt
ways Of the lawmakers, and rant and
fume about putting their own candi-
dates in the field, and voting for them,
too.
In the other two months just preced-
ing election, when the politicians and
Office seekers condescend to shake hands
with the common working people, the
winners sire so overcome by the "honor"
shown them, and so delighted to be seen
drinking or smoking or talking with the
big guns, that they suddenly realize
that fealty 10 the party is the only hope
of saving the country. and with the col
lar more firmly riveted about their necks
than ever, and with docility that is
agonizing in it's meekness, they march
to the polls and deposit the same old
ticket
Then the politician has other fish to
fry, has no longer time to shake hands:
the pressure on the wheel is again re-
newed and the whining again com
mences.
We are on the eve of another great
congressional election. and il is safe to
assume that in many places candidates
will be nominated by the various labor
parties, and it appears to also be safe to
assume that the same vicious knife that
was plunged into brave old John Swim
ton when he was candidate in New
York city will be used again; it is safe
to assume that the Indifference ON the
part of the worlzingmen which caused
the defeat of Henry George in New
York and Robert Nelson in Chicago will
again be Il potent factor in perpetuating
the power of the reigning parties. We
shall see.
How long will it be before the men
who are classed as workingmen will
realize that the open sesame to higher,
more just and equitable system than ex-
lists at present is unanimity at the polls?
How long, o Lord, how long?

Western Farm Mortgages,

The following statistics and con-
ments are taken from a recent number
of The Standard:
Mr.. Goodloe shows by state bureau
statistics that the mortgages in Ohio
amount to about one-third of the whole
value Of the real estate. He shows a
similar condition Of things in Indiana
and Illinois, coming to the conclusion
from comparison of returns that the
reported satisfactions consist mainly OF
renewals OF mortgages on the same con.
ditions or on harder ones. OF the in
terest he says:
The agent who negotiates a loan
charges up to the borrower all the ex-
pense Of deeds, promissory notes and
abstracts of title, furnished by COM
petent firm that makes business Of
searching records and of giving certif-
icates and to these items the agent
adds liberal fee for himself; so that
the interest. in one form or another,
will rarely fall below 10 per cent
BY the reports Of the labor bureau OF
Michigan for 1888, nearly one half Of
the farms occupied by their owners
were under mortgage the average in
terest being nearly one per cent higher
than in the states mentioned previously.

OF Kansas, Mr.. Goodloe says:

The Kansas statistics of mortgages,
though incomplete and unofficial, are in
some respects more interesting than
those of any other state, since they con
vey clearer notion of the condition of
the people at the present time. The
facts were gathered during the last
spring and summer by the Advocate, q
weekly newspaper printed at Topeka,
Kan, in the interests of the Farmers
Alliance. The editor states that he
sent out circulars to all ub-alliances,
asking them to make a canvass, and to
report upon a blank form which was
furnished them. The blank called for
a statement of the number of mortgag-
ed, or unmortgaged and of rented firms
belonging to members Of the several
alliances. The request seems to have
been faithfully complied with. Reports
had not been received from all the al
llances, but a great many more had
been furnished than the editor found
space for in his paper. He believes
that he laid before his readers enough
to give far estimate of the mortgage
Indebtedness Of the people of Kansas
He rejected every imperfect report, and
at the same time made selections from
them so as to exhibit the condition of
things in every part of the state. The
50 cases published in the Advocate ex-
hibit the conditions of 3,l07 Kansas
farmers belonging to the alliance. OF
these, $50 held their farms free from
mortsage, 1880 occupied rented farms
and 1,727 held farms under mortgage
Let me repeat this startling sentence:
Out of 3,l07 Kansas farmers taken in
discriminatory as belonging to the al
liance-and the members of the alliance
are not likely to be the very poorest
no less number than l ,030, or nearly
one third, are renters; that is to say,
tenants of the Irish type, holing nndcr
rack rents, unmitigated by any of the
amelioratons or restrictions on the
power of the landlord that exist in Ire
land. No less than 1.727 of the others,
though nomnally free holders, are in
Really tenants under the first form Of
tenancy the mortgage-mortgages
which under present conditions can
never be paid by them save in the most
exceptional cases. OF the whole num-
Der only $50, or little over ten per
cent, are really the owners of the land
they till. And remember, that this
state is Kansas, is a state that when Mr..
Goodloe was in mature manhood and
editor of the National Era, was still
the range of the buffalo and the hunt
ground Of wandering Indians state
that has been settled by the very flower
> ofthe most active and intelligent OF the
American people.
Is it not about time to stop talking
and thinking of the American farmer,
as though he were necessarily land
owner?

All Of the eighty,two reports. Mr..
Goodloe says, are of like tenor with
these. In only one Of them did The
pumber of unmortgaged farms exceed
or equal that of the mortgiged. IL
this, case there were fourteen unmort-
gagged farms and ten mort.a red, with
three renters, but it was added that
one-balf Of those rnmortgaged had
not yet proved up or obtained title, and
so were unable to mortgage. In some
cases money was being borrowed
at two per cent per month to pay
interest.
