C@sar's Column.

gilbert, M. D.. "a pen name OF course)

of the twentieth century, and in plot

expression is as far above Bellamy's

The writer, although dealing with
a question of life blood Importance,
does not forget the novelist's true
entertainment. He may hurl
brick bats, but they are bound in
roses. A few months only have elapsed
since the book was first published,
yet it has gone into the third edi-

read it; every political economist
would find fruitful suggestions in it's

What the. Fuss Is About.

The question may be asked by the av-
erage reader, What is all this fuss about.
for considering the price we have to pay
for butter, -four, ETC., the farmers ought
to be bloated bondholders rather than.
impecunious agitators? The farmer, how
ever, points to the small proportions
which reaches his own pocket, to the
closing out of the mortgages on lands in.

in one day Of ffty-eight homes of farm
ers in Connecticut, and says there have
you proofs of the unproftableness of
farming. How much of this is owing
rather to the profits Of the middlemen
and the high rates of railroads seems to
be overlooked. but anyhow the farmer
feels he has a grievance and proposes to-
redress it.-Christian at Work.

a Mild Lecture.

There is just now a lull in grange
work. This, of course. was to be ex-
pected, because the nature of the farm
er's occupation demands at this season
all his time and attention. Grange meet-
ings, if held at all, are poorly attended.
The press of work is sufficient excuse
for what can scarcely be regarded as
anything else than neglect Of duty.
Patrons, we know, are too much fatigued
by the labors of the day to give an hour
or two one evening out of the week to
the work of the meeting. We find no
fault with this conduct, but confess that
it is difficult to see how men who cannot
spare an hour to attend to duties that
intimately concern them can find plenty
of time to participate in apolitical parade.
How are we to account for this strange
conduct? Do men thus act because they
love the grange less or because they love
the party more. The farmer has nothing
to expect from either political organiza-
ton; the grange is the only medium
through which those interested in agri-
cultural pursuits can strike an effective
blow.-Grange Advocate.

E. Darbellay, who has just returned to

years experience among the farmers of

most extensive agricultural implement
firms in the country.

nothing with which to pay obligations.

have visited their homes, and for bust
ness purposes have ascertained their real
condition. Go where you will you will
find the majority of farms rortgaged to
their full value. You will also find the
personal property upon these farms
mortgaged to the fullest extent upon
which the owners can realize cash. And
so soon as the crop is in the ground you
will usually find the mortgage has been
placed upon that. The situation is one
which should alarm even the monopo-
lists who have brought it about. Mil

volume with the increase Of business.
and to be issued directly to productive
industries without the intervention of
the banks of ISSUE It continues:
Second-We demand railway transpor-
tation, telegraph and telephone service
at actual cost; and that the government
shall own and operate the same.
Third-We demand the free and un-
limited coinage of silver.
Fourth-We demand the adoption of
an absolutely secret voting system, both
state and national.
Fifth-We demand the most rigid
economy consistent with the safety of
our state and nation in the administra-
ton of every branch of our government.
Sixth-We demand the passage of laws
prohibiting the alien ownership of land,
and that congress take steps to obtain
land owned by aliens and foreign syndi-
Gates and that lands now held by cor
porations in excess of such as is actually
used and needed by them be reclaimed
by the government and held for actual
settlers only.

Party lines may be obliterated in many
