A PROTEST
What the Farmers say About Mr.. Mas
sey's Assertions.

II. Adolph Miller, president Of Fair Oaks
Alliance, Ne. JGS, writes as follows to The
TINES: ~ herewith vigorously protest
against Mr.. Massey's assertions that the
Farmers Alliances resolutions protesting
against any change in school books have
been promoted by personal interest in book
firms sending circulars to the Alliance urg-
ing them to take this step. The good authority
upon which Mr.. Massey bases his imputa-
ton is nothing else but an. infamous false
assertion, so far as il concerns the action
taken unanimously by Fair Oaks Alliance,
and | am quite sure that this is the same
case with The other Alliances. for being in
constant relations and correspondence with
the prominent members OF our Order | Ger
tainly would have beard Of or seen these
circulars in question. but never did.
The Farmers Alliance is opposed 10 the
change in school books for the following
reasons:
/. There is no necessity whatever for the
change.
,. The politicians having made all laws
to benefit the rich few at the expense of the
poor tOiling many, the financial condition
Of the farmers aud labOring people is now

the rights Of the people, because they pos.
sess the power 10 levy tribute at will.
and are in direct conflict with the
spirit and genius Of our Insttu-
tions. Therefore, the Farmers Alliance
is the sworn enemy Of all combines aud
trusts whose only object being plumber,
weight them wherever and whenever we
can; thus the intended action (now carried
OUT of the state Board of Education,
TO indorsc officially huge octopus

the just indignation of every good
citizen Of this Commonwealth: consequently
il is evident that no pressure whatever was
needed from interested parties to dictate 10
us 10 perform our duty. We say no strust"
books for the schools Of Virginia as long as
there are honest dealers outside the trusts.
Down with the trusts, and down with
those who foster such outrageous monop.

The assessors OF Richmond have assessed
all real estate in Marshall, jefferson and

at the eastern part of jackson ward and
have worked from Nenable street up TO II
stephen street, which they have completed
The values in this city have necessarily
diminished in some portions OF the
city and increased in others, and
the whole taxable values will be vastly
increased over the last assessment five
wears ago. The dividing up OF lots and the
erection Of buildings and other improve
ments throughout the various sections OF
the city have increased the work of
the assessors at least bne-third over
those Of 1885. In view Of this appar-
ent fact. upon application TO The
Legislature last session, the Judge OF the
Hastings Court was authorized. in his
discretion. to extend the time for COM
Melting the returns. Judge Witt has ac-
cordingly exercised his authority, and eX-
tended the time few days ago 10 septem-
ber-two months.
While the commissioners are assessing
the values in the field, the assistant asses
s0rs are blIsily making out the field books
for the other wards, writing up and bal
ancing the land books, Of which latter three
have 10 be made for each ward. One TO he
returned TO the Hastings Court, one to the
city Assessors Office. and the third to the
State Auditor Of Public Accounts.
Comparatively few people have any con-
ception Of the magnitude and responsibility
ofthis work. which consists in assessing the
market value of every front foot Of real
estate and every building within the
area. stretching from the brewery, at
Rockets, in the east, 10 Richmond college,
in the West, from the South banks Of the

zens, and must exercise their best judg.
