To all appearances there has been
a mutual understanding between the
Republican and Democratic parties
that an issue will be made of the
tariff question:" and that the ques-
ton of finance, banks, money, gold
basis and everything that is material
to the debtor class) industrial inter-
ests of the country shall be left where
it now stands. The two recent and
all important national conventions of
farmers and laborers have declared
in substance that the tariff question
is of little consequence; that money,
transportation and land for actual
settlers is the issue which effects
their interests.-The News Reporter.

Congressman E. N. Morrill,, of the
First district has decided to retire
from congress. So far only two can
didates have entered the race for the
Republican nomination. w. r. Smith,
an attorney Of Atchlson, and Joseph
Blakeley, president of the Leaven-
worth county alliance. The fact that
Blakeley is a resubmissionist will
probably lead to his defeat, but it is
very likely that other Alliance candi-
dates will be put forward. If a man
is nominated that is not in accord
with the Alliance principles peoples

our Brother,
3. H. CLOVER.

The demand of the National Far
mers' Alliance made in congress to
have the United States erect ware
houses throughout the Union for the
free storage of grain, cotton, tobacco
and other products is not unreason-
able in view Of the fact that govern
ment warehouses have been built in
a number of States for the purpose
of storing liquor for the accommoda-
ton of the distillers and to enable
them to manufacture ahead without
being obliged to pay the revenue un-
til they remove the liquor from these
government warehouses. There is
now nearly fifty million dollars due
the United States on these stored
liquors. If the government will do
as much for the farmers and advance
them loan of so per cent of the cash
value of their products at per cent.
interest, it would relieve the money
market at a time when it is most
needed in removing the volume of
products from the farms to the mar
kets. This would have the other good
effect of protecting the farmers
against the necessity of selling at
a time when the spectators depress
the markets. The retail dealers
would largely be benefited by re-
ceiving the cash trade of farmers,
and only the spectators, these leeches
of society will be the losers. If
the United States treasury has the
right to loan large sums of money to
the national banks, the claims of the
farmers are surely justified Con-
gress and State legislatures have for
a long time made and sustained laws
in the interest of the banks and mon
ey lenders, and it is about time that
laws should be enacted in the inter-
est of the producers of wealth.

BANKER TALKS.

Colonel John Richey, prominent
Missourian, and director of bank,
talking of the Farmers Alliance,
said:
Il am in a section where it is in
full operation. 1t has come up like
one of these cyclones such as swept
Louisville. Six months ago there
was not a member in my county.
To-day they have an enrolment OF
over one-half the voters of the coun-
ty and three-fourths of the voters Of
the district. They mean business, L
tell you, and 1 know they have rea-
son to come together for common
action. I am a director of a bank
and take occasion to observe the
loans we make. I have found. time
and again, that loans have been
made to farmers on mortgages to
pay their taxes. The farmers be-
lieve that the railroads and the cor
porations and the wealthy men of
the country are not paying their
share of the taxes, when the land
will not produce enough to pay taxes
on it. They are mighty near right
too There is something wrong
about 1t. The Farmers Alliance
people have long-headed leader
ship. Tney select the best men
among themselves as leaders in each
county, and farmers are pretty hard
headed and level-headed old fellows
as rule. 1t is entirely different
from the labor movement In the
latter the associated members were
men who get their living by days
wages. They are subject to tempta-
tions. Their leaders could be
bought if the price was large enough.
You will find the farmer combina-
tion too strong for that. Money
temptation will not reach them. Then
too, they know their power. There
are 100000 men in the United
States, according to the census of
1880, engaged in farming. There
are only 100000 engaged IN all
pursuits. The farmers are half the
entire voting population. They can
revolutionize the entire government,
executive, Legislative and judicial.
They will capture congress this fall
as sure as fate. The chances are
that the labor interests will be allied
with them in their movement. If
they stand together they can carry
nearly every state in the union They
are banded together for political ac-
ton to secure greater favor to them
selves as a class in legislation, and
they have the votes to get it.
