INGALLS, AND THE FARMERS AL
TTANNE

INGALLS, AND THE FARMERS Al
LANCE.
The New York Sun has the follow
ing to say in regard to the fight being
made upon Senator ingalls, by the
Farmers Alliance:
The Hon. John James ingalls, de-
serves at present the COMMUNICATION OF
sensible men. The Farmers Alliance
of Kansas IL breathing fire anil slaugh-
ter against him. He feels himself
compelled by the instinot of self-pres-
ervation to propose legislation intend
ed to tickle the hawbuck socialists,
whose theories and passionate blind
kicking must fill his secret soul win
fatigue. Various cranks and organi-
cations of cranks send to him crazy
bills to be introduced into the senate.
The Kansas delegation in congress
seems to be favored with more than its
share of the harum-scarum schemes
of paternal legislation put forth by the
two fora cent politicians who are try
ing to climb into prominence on the
shoulders of the western and southern
grangers. One of the queerest OF these
queer propositions of these fakir finan-
ciers aud political economists who are
doing so large a business this spring
was introduced into the senate the
other day by Mr.. ingalls, by request. 1t
is a banking bill prepared by some
crank or other for an association
known as the wage workers alliance.
We venture to say that neither Ham.
ilton nor Gallatin could have conceived
such an experiment In finance as Is
proposed by this bill.
It is bill for the establishment OF
postal banking system. A depart
ment of banking is to be established,
with a secretary at $1,000 and four as
sistant secretaries at $1,000 a year.
This executive department is to do
the peoples banking free of charge
beyond the necessary fees to cover ex-
penses. Every postofice is to be a
branch bank. Loans payable with in-
terest at the end of the year shall be
made on proper security. The money
for the loans is to be provided by the
treasurer of the United States, and
shall be full legal tender for all debts
and dues. This money, as the bill
carefully provides, shall be printed BY
hand, on silk-threaded paper, at the
bureau OF engraving and printing In
Washington, and these are TO be the
denominations of the silk-threaded,
hand-printed postal bank loan money !:
zone, two, three and five mills; one,
two, three and five cents; one, two,
three and five dimes; one, two. three
and FIVE dollars; one, two, three aud
FIVE eagles; one, two, three and five
condors condors ? 500 anyway aud
one, two, three and five talents
[$l,OOOl." g.. .,+
The coming of one-billionth of a
mill pieces might be good idea If it
is deemed necessary 10 find proper
financial equivalent Of the genius and
knowledge of the idiot or syndicate of
idiots that evolved the wondrous
measure which the long suffering po-
likeness of Mr.. Ingalls, has brought TO
the notice of mankind. And if there
are to be more executive departments
the one most needed at present seems
to be department of cranks. A boss
fool-killer can be provided later on.

The Salina Republican says: Last
fall cattle were low-lower than
known for many years in the market.
Stock raisers were threatened with
bankruptcy. And yet we wish TO
state a real occurrence that took place
In Saline county. One of our oldest
and best farmers last fall purchased
80 head of steers that cost him $50 q
head. Had he shipped them then,
just off the grass, as the great Texas
herds were Cutting the market, he
would have lost money on them. He
sent them to q farm on Gypsum creek,
and they were stall-fed, the expense of
grain, hay and feeding being eight
dollars and fifty cents a head. He
sold them and they averaged $54, a
clear profit Of $3.50 a head, or more
than so per cent on his investment.
Pretty good for a "bad" year. What
one man can do another can do.

And now comes the inventor OF q
new system of type-writing telegraphy
who believes that by its adoption the
government will be able to carry out
q postal telegraph system on the lines
suggested by the postmaster general.
He assured the committee appointed
to consider his invention that his COM
pany would do business at prices that
would tempt the public to use the wire
instead of the mail. The instrument
is an electric typewriter with q key
board not unlike an ordinary type
writer. The messages are printed i'll
Roman characters in page form in the
presence of the operator; an exact
duplicate is produced on every instru-
ment in the circuit simultaneously.
No skill is required. 1t is stated that
any person who can read aud spell
can become an expert operator in a
few days, instead of eight years, the
time required to make an expert oper-
ator by the Morse system.
