lars deposited, Or as the Window ware
house bill proposes,
Some people, especially bankers and
money spectators, pretend to think that
the government is not sufficient security
Of Itself, and must have gold or silver TO
back lts issues Of paper moneys but the
same people think II Is all right, when
the government issues a paper bond bear
ing interest as a basis, for national bank
circulation. But what Is the use Of talk
Ing about the government lending money
TO farmers. Does Brother Lavielle and
Mr. Hutcheson forget that the Senate Of
the United States are nearly all million
aires and would lay all such bills on the
table, even II they ever got reported from
tho committee to which they were refer
rcd.
Now, l think the FIRST thing TO do 10
10 elect 90 farmers and 3 lawyers TO the
Senate instead Of 03 lawyers and 3 farm
ers as at present, also TO have the same
ratio Of farmers In the House Of Repre-
sentativos and our State Legislatures.
Let the farmers send men TO the Legis-
lature who will elect Senators to re-
present M@n, and not Wall Street, and
elect them to make laws and transact
such other business as is necessary and
then adjourn sine die, and not elect them
to below like wild bulls ut one another
on the floors Of Congress, about the bloody
shirt and the negro in the South, and
then after adjournment treat each other

Now, we suppose, that the Secretary Of

100000 worth Of gold and silver bullion,
putting the money Immediately into cir

coined into money there still remains

This $80OO0,OOO would bring 100000

EDITOR ADvooATE;--Th following pro-
ceedings taken from tho John Sargent

We have not read In the Ne,cs since the
9Th, inst, any remark or comment in re-
gard TO article under head Of "sound Sug
gestlOns" from Fort Scott Monitor In rela-
tion TO the cattle industry Of the West.
The Monitor In a fair and ample way,
commented and set fourth the letter from
Mr.. Gillette in which It said:--After
speaking Of the depressed condition Of
agriculture and other affairs, and the
great dearth Of money, "But there are
other auxiliary causes which exercise a
wide spread influence, and among them
is the use OF the public domain for cattle
raising by q class Of corporations with
whom the ordinary farmer and stock
raiser finds It impossible to compete
Now, as has been shown in Mr.. Gillette's
letter, the competition of this business
bears greatly against the farmer, who has
capital invested In farming lands at an ex-
pense Of improvement, tax paying and
otherwise; that fully one half Of the area
Of the United States is in public domain,
that about fifty per cent of the 50,000,OOO
OF cattle raised In the United State are
raised on the public domain, and that
these corporations and individuals pay no
rental nor tax on this great cattle industry,
which comes in competition with the
domestic cattle. And furthermore Mr.
NeCs, that you have shown heretofore In
the corn reductions disposition to embrace
the cause Of the alliance, and stay with II
to the end, as shown in the issue Of the
same date Of the Gillette letter in double
loaded editorial by the words "But
be that as it may, there is remedy some
where, and not until the last stone has been
turned and the last resource exhausted
will the Nsos strike its colors and acknow-
ledge defeat"
This Is the kind Of music we like to
hear, II is the kind we are used TO, and
will march shoulder TO shoulder with you
In the public domain cause. II we do
not succeed In the corn rate we will sue

ly as for as they would go. And In
marking the following list Of members Of

by my memory as to whom gave the
papers to.
Ireceived your letter recently dated
February 10, 1890, containing subscription
blanks and say that / will make an effort
ut our next ating to get subscriptions
l wish your valuable paper was a weekly
visitor to the home Of every laboring per
son in our country. We have held meet
ings regular once a week with few ex-
ceptions caused by stormy weather. ever
since our organization was effected last
June. You are we'll aware that many Of us
are 80 weighted down by the loads ofop-
preston which are upon us, that after we
have met our obligations such az taxes,
interest, and living we have little or
nothing left to purchase food for our
minds. This is probably what the mon
opolists, who are trying to work according
to the European plan Of slavery, like.
The know that If the people read pa
pers published in their interest, that they
will have to pay for them as such papers
can not be published for nothing, 30 they
have taken all the profits of from the
products Of our farms so we have to sell
our corn, wheat and oats and most OK our
other produce for less than 1t cost TO pro-
duce them. / should not wonder II the
monopolists are helping those papers who
are Offering to club 30 cheaply with pa
pers published In our interests. They
have the profits from our farms to do II
with. They desire us to read the papers
published in their interestso they can ad;
wise us to stand by the old parties, to vote
1t straight this time, to keep prejudiced
against the south, to split us on the re-
submission question and all they care for
MS or for the old partiesis forthe purpose
Of fleeing us. But we have got the wool
of from our eyes now and thousands, yes
millions, are getting it off from theirs
It is being rubbed off by the pressure OF
the times. It is being knocked OIL by the
sturdy blows Of such papers as THE AD-
vocATE, and l hope will never let up un-
til as you say "the grand undertaking 80
auspiciously begun" is accomplished.
