One Reason Why Government
Should Help the Farmers.

The English syndicate that paid
about 100000 for the system of
elevators in the grain districts along
the line of-tt:e Chicago and North
western railroad, having possession
of all the grain storage of several
States, this trust gave notice this
year that they would store no grain
for the proprieto-s. v hat is the
effect? The producers in many in
stances were not provided with the
buildings to store their grain, SO that
it would not be damaged and they
were compelled to sell. The farmer
was compelled to sell. The trust
bought, and wheat is now fifty per
cent higher than when the farmer
sold. Had his government furnished
the elevators the farmer could have
held his wheat and rcaped the profit
of the rise Alliance Herald.

Cause of Hard-times IN Kansas.

An itemizer from Jenneryille fur
nishes the Oxford Press the follow
ing among the It'd bits of village

THE hard times experienced by
the farmers of Kansas has been
traced to the fact that they have been
attending picnics, political meetings
ana electing farmers to Congress in
stead of properly cultivating their
land. We hope the farmers of
Pennsylvania will take warning
thereby and not fall into the ruts
their western relatives seen to haYe
gotten into
Is this intended for irony, or is ii
real snip from the city consolidated
monopoly press? The hard times
preceded all these strange "doins'' in
Kansas. Hadn't Pennsylvania farm.

The recent rise in the price of grain
is due to foreign demand. This must
be SO clear to the farmers that it ought
to knock the home market swindle of
the protectionists clear out of them for
good and all.-Csca Neps.
All friend, the farmers are not
exercised over the rise in grain. They
have been tricked out of their crops
months ago by the gold ring spectators,
of Wall street which Mr.. Cleveland
gives notice in advance IN his silver
letter he means to uphold if he is elect.
ed president. The farmer between the
two old parties is in the position of the
fellow who found himself between the
devil and the deep sea.

The Democrats having secured a

The Democrats having secured a
majority in the Michigan legislature,
have changed the rode of electing
Presidential Electors, which was by
general vote of the State for the
whole number, to the congressional
district plan. The Press (Philada.)
says in some dissenting comments
on the change
THE situation is exactly as it
would be if the Republicans were to
carry Kentucky through divisions in
the Democratic party, and on the
strength of this exceptional victory
proceed to gerrymander the State
and make tie choice of Presidential
Electors by districts obligatory
And this is exactly what they
would dc if the opportunity offered.
Neither party has ever been known
to let an opportunity go unpro6ted.
The Press admits this is the way
Presidential Electors should be
chosen, but the Democrats have no
right to inaugurate the work by
starting it in Republican State.
Well, this reform will have to be
started somewhere or it can never be
accomplished.
81 read in the daily papers that
q half dozen representatives Of the
anthracite coal interest met last
Ieyening.ss( March Oath 1856 in an
Office in New York. Their confer.
ence, interrupted only by COLLATION.,
lasted till 8 O'Clock in the morning.
When they separated they had come
to IAN understanding among gentle
men to restrict the production of
anthracite coal and advance the
price.
"Now how comes il that half a
dozen men, sitting round some bot
ties of champagne and a box of
cigars in New York Office, can by
IAN understanding among gentlemen
compel Pennsylvania miners to
stand idle and advance the price
of coal along the whole eastern
seaboard?" Henry George.

student of the times should carefully

Glass Government.

In the strikes which are taking place
periodically in establishments where many
men are employed in large corporations,
mines, factories. etc., il is worthy Of notice
the employees are very largely composed OF
foreign nationalities, thousands of them
unable TO speak the English language.
These people. could not have gotten to this
country and into those large corporation
works had the proprietors not systematically
managed ii. They have been brought to
this country by these monopolies in order
to supply the place ofnative born Ameri-
cans, whom they have superseded at lower
wages, while these foreigners in turn have
been imposed upon by the soulless, dom
ineering corporations, their wages cut down
TO the starvation point, and otherwise rob
bed till they are forced into strikes, which
frequently lead to rioting. When congress
meets it is asked with sublime impudence
to legislate alone for these rich classes and
in every conceivable way protect and foster
their interest. When, however, labor classes
ask for some consideration, these favored
ones cry out through their daily papers,
''class legislation class legislation / We
have had no other kind Of legislation for a
quarter of century, but legislation in the
interest ofan arIstocracy of wealth. The
laboring classes and wealth producers. have
grown tired Of this class discrimination,
special protection and governmental favorit-
ism to the rich only and are organizing to
break it up. These government pets have
complete control Of the money Of the coun
try, have in their hands three-fourt of the
wealth, all the large city newspapers and
both the old parties. They have also an
army of 20. 600 called Pinkerton police, =
and which they can and probably are stead
lily increasing. There is evidently a settled
purpose on the part of the monopolistic and
wealth controlling class to firmly retain con-
troll of the government and steadily, syste-
malically establish an aristocracy Of wealth
under the form of republic. All of the
large cities are in the hands Of a crowd.
controlled by the saloon, of as arrant
scoundrels as ever cut throat or scuttled a
ship. The liquor monopoly which has
c.large Of the cities, and through them
pretty nearly the entire election machinery
ofthe whole country, is carefully protected
by the government, ostensibly as source
from which TO raise taxes, but in reality as
piece of election machinery by which the
aristocratic classes can corrupt the ballot
box and rob TIE people of their right Of
franchise. Like the roads to Rome, If these
lines are followed up they every one will be
found to lead to that great centralized
power, the money trust, which remains
concealed as long and far as possible. It's
headquarters are in ThreaGneed and Wall
streets. This is the real mother of ninety
hundredths Of the poverty, idlenes,, vice
and Grim of this ard every civilized nation.

Congress Alone the Money Issuing
Power.

Jefferson says; Il sincerely be-
lieve that Banking institutions ere
more dangerous to liberty than
standing armies. The power to issue
money should be taken from the
banks and restored to the govern
meat where it belongs To accom-
plish this work the Farmers Alliance
has been formed.
General jackson in his farewell
Address says: "When the charter
for the United State Bank was OBJ
tanned from Congress, it perfected
the scheme and gave to its advocates
the position they have struggled to
obtain from the commencement of
the federal government down to the
present hour. \ = The powers
enumerated in that instrument (the
constitution do not confer on con.
gress the right to establish such
corporation as the bank of the
United States. u The time
will soon come when it will again
take the field against the United
States and succeed in perfecting and
perpetuating its organization by a
charter from Congress.
How true are these prophetic words
of jackson. The present national
banking system is the same evil re.
vived in a slightly different form of
the old United States Bank, which
gives the power that should alone be
exercised by the government of
issuing money, into the hands of
corporations with al the evils which
have invariably followed in that
train.
The Alliance has taken up the
battle where Jefferson and jackson
left it, to complete the conquest over
corporate power, and relegate to The
government the prerogative which
has been placed in the hands of cor.
porations, of entire control of the
finances of the nation. The consti
tuition invests the government with
the absolute privilege to coin money
and issue legal tenders, and it is an
unconstitutional act which transfers
that prerogatiye TO the banking cor
porations. Let the government issue
the money and loan it to the people
and banks transact business in thell
own legitimate sphere of operation
as the servants and assistants of the
business classes and not as their
masters and special chartered tax
gatherers at will.

dition of the settlers in their terrified
flight from their homes in Dakota to
the dreary railroad towns that offer
them place of temporary refuge from
the storms, it cannot be more wretched
than that of the women and children
of the hostile Indians. 1t is the old
story of warfare everywhere; the nnn-
combatants are the greatest sufferers.
Bitter and deplorable as this suffering
is in Dakota now, there is no promise
of more than temporary relief until the
Indian question is settled in the North
west as it has been in the far East, by
the determination of the fighting por-

An Indian war in the depth of win.

hundreds of settlers in the region trav.
ersed by the hostile bands. 1t is bad
enough to be compelled to fly from the
savages, leaving homes, crops and
stock at their mercy when the weather
is mild, but when snow lies deep over
the country and bitter winds sweep
the prairies, the hardship is greatly
intensified. 1t now looks as If all truce
were ended and that the sooner the
government l~ys its heavy hand upon
the predaciOus defiant foe the better.
Whatever lingering pity one may have
for these Indians, who in the face OF
certain defeat, lift their hands in a last
desperate struggle against the advan-

alton would Ike the most merciful event

The press of Idaho regardless of
party sustains the action of her Sena-
tors. The daily Democrat of a recent
date says: "While there is no doubt
but that all of the senators will gener-
ally vote with their party, 1t is a pleas
ure to observe some little indications of
western representatives voting for the
section of the country they represent
instead of falling down upon their
knees like abject beggars and
worshiping the eastern monarch.
This Is new departure with the re-
publicans who have heretofore invari-
ably cringed beneath the lash of the
eastern masters. 1t is very evident
now that the Force bill is doomed and
that the west and south united will be
enabled to do something for the agri-
cultural and mining interests of the
country instead of the latter or at least
a part of 1t, being Africanized so that
it may become a political appendage
CT the east. There is no doubt but
that large majority of the republican
party in Idaho will uphold Senators
Shoup and Mcconnell in the course
they have TAKEN"
