There Has been q Change.


Farmers of the United States are at
last taking an interest in politics at the
right end of a political campaign. Here
tofore, when they had voted they COM
pleted their share of the duty that .citi-
zenship imposes and took no further in
terest in matters political until the next
campaign, with its party ticket to lure
with siren song the farmer to the polls.
But now the situation is radically
changed, and after political campaigns,
at the time when politicians, capitalists
and quasi statesmen expect the farmer
to go back to his acres, his cows and his
turnips, forgetful of politics and every
thing pertaining thereto, behold! he re-
mains in the field as active, aggressive,
earnest and enthusiastic as ever.
What does it mean? 1t means that
farmers, half the voting strength of the
country, propose henceforth to have
something to say about how this govern
ment shall be run; they are henceforth
going to take an interest in the matter
365 days in year. And every really
good citizen is glad of it, for it means a
more equitably distributed prosperity
and brighter sunshine for the masses,
regardless of their avocation.-Farn,
Stock and Home.

An IncOrae Tax.

The Farmers Alliance of Illinois has
come out boldly in favor of graduated
income tax. The idea is spreading like
wildfire among the farmers of the coun-
try. 1t is notorious that over rs per
cent. of the internal taxes of the nation
is paid by real estate, although other
forms of property are about equally val
liable in the aggregate. Our present
laws unfairly help the rich to get richer;
why shouldn't they compel them to sur
render to the public treasury part of
the plumber they have accumulated by
partial legislation, and thus help to
equalize taxation, now SO outrageously
unjust to the holders of the soil? The
chief objection appears to be that while
the honest would pay the tax the dis
honest would, even at the cost of per-
jury, evade it. Stringent laws would
minimize this evil-Rural New Yorker.

The Paramount Question.

l receive on an average 200 letters a
day commencing the bill introduced in
the senate by which money can be Dor
rowed on land from the government at
2 per cent. per annum. It is impossible,
of course, for me to read them all, but I
do the best l can. The interest shown
everywhere in the bill proves that the
financial question is really paramount to
all others now before the country. The
farmer, of course, will be benefited by
my bill should it become law. Any
one who has tillable land or ever buys it
on q credit will be able to borrow money
from the government at such a low rate
of interest he can afford to go into debt
little.
Some one asked me what would be
done in case a land owner should become
insolvent and unable to pay the interest
to the government. That is very easy
to answer. There would be plenty of
men ready to buy land, borrow money
at 2 per cent from the government and
go ahead as if the insolvency had never
occurred. The sub-treasury bill advo-
Gated by the Farmers Alliance simply
hypothecates products. My bill, if it
becomes law, will not bring about the
millennium, but it will give the people
money and forever do away with money

Among the PrObS.

The farmers will give the older or.
carnations, particularly the Republic
can party, grave concern. Their pur-
pose is to enter the presidential field,
and they declare positively that the
Alliance, an organization of large num-
bers, shall take no part as partisans in
political struggles as affiiating with Re-
publicans or Democrats. They are mani
testify in earnest, and are likely to be-
come thorn in the side of both parties.
1t is not improbable that the farmers
organization will be able to gain enough
electoral votes to throw the choice of a
president into the house of representa-
tives, where the voting would be by
states and the Democrats have an over
whelming advantage. At the same time
the choice of a vice president would be
made by the senate, which will be Re
publican.-Chicago Times.

Farmers to Perfect Organization.

The movement for the formation of a
Farmers Alliance in this state is assum.
ing formidable proportions. Among the
men attending the meeting of the State
Agricultural society who are connected
with the Alliance are A. j. Phillips, OF
West Salem, grand lecturer; Charles
Worster, of Brodhead; Aaron Brough-
ton, of Brodhead; William Toole, OF
Baraboo; N. E. Allen, of Beaver Dam,
and Col. Reuben May, of Viroqua. The
society known as the Patrons of Industry
is also well represented, and joint
meeting was held this afternoon to talk
over the situation
While the Patrons of Industry are par.
ticularly well established in Walworth,
Rock and Greene counties, the Alliance
covers an extensive district, and con-
sidering that the first lodges were insti-
tuted in May last the progress has been
phenomenal. There are in its ranks at
the present time 6,192 members in good
standing milwaukee, Telegram.

The action of the National Farmers
Alliance recently in session at Omaha,
in restricting their membership to farm
ers, has been construed by some as not
indicating purpose to continue sepa-
rate political action. The proposition
was to allow members of labor organic
ations to come into the subordinate ALI
ances. This met the objection that it
would imperial the unity and harmony
of the organization.
Other industrial workers would have
much in common with them, especially
IN the objects to be attained in political
action, but the history of similar move
ments had shown that their great dan
ger was in going too fast. The enthusi-
asm of great numbers was not always
confined to wise channels. Better re-
suits can be obtained by cooperation
and not unifcation with other forces.
The great political victory in Kansas was
aided in a large measure by the subsid-
larry organizations in the towns of those
who were not eligible to regular mem
bership. Unless the chief aims are in
the direction of permanent competi
ton with the political parties, the action

THE FARMERS SUBSTITUTE.

Tho Councils Propositions ON tho Cues
ton of Reciprocity and Shipping.
The shipping and reciprocity bill pro-
posed by the council Of the Farmers Al
lance and Industrial union as substi-
tute for the administrators measures Of
subsidy would in few years after its
passage completely revive our foreign
trade and put agriculture on basis of
solid and enduring prosperity.
The principle of the bin is honesty and
simplicity itself. It does not propose to
take dollar of taxes to pay freight
either for manufacturers or farmers. It
fully adopts the principle of reciprocity
in which Mr.. Blaine seeks to find an ex-
cuse for subsidies to steamship corpora
tons, but it applies this theory in an
open and straightforward way, as may
be seen in the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the legislative committee of
the National Farmers Industrial union be re-
quested to prepare bill for presentation to
the present or the following congress contain
ing the provisions that all vessels built, owned
and manned by citizens of the United States
that carry full outgoing cargoes, to be deter
mined by the tonnage of the vessel, two-thirds
of which at least shall consist of home agri-
cultural products, shall be allowed to enter
and discharge their returning cargoes, provid-
ed said cargoes shall consist of manufactured
products, at any port Of the United States free
of all customs duties. We are persuaded that
such II measure properly carried out in detail
will not only build up the shipping interest
of the country, but result in creating foreign
market for the surplus agricultural products
of the United States.
In less than two years after the pass
age of such law IS per cent. Of the
ocean carrying trade of the United
States would be done in American ships,
and there would hardly be port in the
civilized world without the American
flag in it's harbors.
Our surplus of agricultural products
would move out at once in constantly
increasing quantities, thus giving imme-
date relief to this market from the
pressure when crops are first thrown on
it and insuring reasonable prices for
farm products the year round, while at
the same time establishing a healthy com
petition in manufactured goods, through
which trusts and trust prices would be
made impossible.
The Farmers council has found the
secrect of agricultural depression and
has proposed the true remedy. The
passage of the proposed reciprocity and
shipping bill would mean complete sue.

control of crops would only mean worse

Insurance LEGISLATION.

A bill has been introduced in the Kan
sas state senate which provides that all
insurance companies, except mutual ben
eft associations, shall be governed by
rates of insurance as specified in this act.
They shall not charge or receive more
premium for any given risk than is spec
flied by the act. It then provides that
no life or fire insurance company shall
charge or receive as premium on life
policy, or one for term of years, more
than per cent. yearly on the amount of
the policy, and not more than IL per
cent. yearly on policy for risk against
fire. The penalty for violation Of the
terms of the act shall be not less than
800 nor more than $500 for each Of
Tense, and the permit Of the company to
do business in the state shall be revoked

Several careless newspapers, notably
The Omaha Bee, have published mac
.curate reports of the proceedings of the
late Farmers Alliance convention in
Omaha, and then proceeded to condemn
-editorially the Alliance for doing what
it did not do.
One Of the most egregious blunders of
this kind was in first reporting and then
.condemning the passage of a resolution
favoring an increase of the circulating
medium to $50 per person, the new
money thus issued to be loaned to states
at per cent, the states to loan to the
counties at 2 per cent. and the counties
to loan to individuals at per cent.
The convention did not pass the reso-
luton. It did not consider it. No such
resolution was presented. The careless
editor who so freely condemns the farm
ers' monetary views on all occasions,
and who seized this one, probably re-
fers to a resolution which was presented
but rejected, by the terms of which it
was proposed that the nation loan to the
states at per cent, the states to coun-
ties at per cent, and the counties to
individuals at per cent. He therefore
reversed the conditions of the resolution
which he condemns, and he reported it
as having passed, whereas it was rejected.
AS a matter Of fact, the convention
passed a resolution favoring government
loans to the people not exceeding $4,000
to any individual at 2 per cent. interest
on real estate double the value Of the
loans.
There is one principle which is invaria-
bly, the corner stone of the Alliance plat
form and the source of Alliance strength
among the people-the demand for an
increase in the supply Of money.
On that principle the Alliance will
gain what it gains, and if it meets with
success in the future it will be due to
the advocacy of that single, strong and
growing demand which many outside
the Alliance know to be just.-Omaha
World-Herald.
