him out into the wet grass. A minute
later the crcstfallen agent rose and limped
out to his chaise sore aud bruised and

last visit to Northampton.
The stranger reclosed the door and

Farmers Alliance Is going to sweep things
He says in an Interview that the move ment
"presents one of the most interesting political
problems of the century. Here In the east,
where industries and employments are adver.
sified, It's progress Is not appreciated and the
strength 1t Is gaining not understood. In the
west, a purely agricultural section, 1t has
taken a deep hold on the public mind. and
the evolution of the movement Is closely
watched by our deepest thinkers and polIti-
cal economists. The growth of the Orgauiza.
ton Is not ethereal or spontaneous, but has
come with strong undercurrent Of reason
that will ultimately land 1t on solid founda.
ton which will defy all the efforts of the
political agltstors to shake. or course the
blatant demagogs whose claims are unresson-
able and intenable will not be the ones to
carry the movement to the success look for
it to reach. You will find, however, that
with the force behind 1t and with even par.
tial success these agitators will be forced to
give way to the more cOnservating element
l think 1t may he compared to the telling OF
Republicanism which swept over the coun-
try from 1856 to 1860. This result might be
more quickly reached could the west aud the
south find common ground on which to
stand. The west and the north have recog-
nized this all along, and have very adroitly
prevented any coalition. They know that in
the south anything that endapgers local gov.
ernment by the white element will be rcsist-
ed. and that every other interest will be sac
riiced to this end. they have managed to
strengthen this feeling bv an occasional me-
nance. In the west sectional feeling has
been restored to with varying success until
this year when It signslly failed. Such plays
on the passion and interests of the sections
have about reached their limit. The sections
are becoming apathetic alike to appeals and

Only for Self Protection
From the St. Adams Farmers Adyocat

From the st. Adams farmers Advocate.
Why persist In claiming that the Farmers
league Is new political party. No member
organizer or officer of the league hold any
such opinion, but all are frank and firm Ia
their testimony to the contrary. Neither do
we seek reform Through legislation as a
cure.alP'-but simply regarded 1t as one
means, and the one that has hitherto been
misused or abused. The league is not made
up OF soreheaded politicians. 1t is simply
and only combination of the farmers for
self-protection. They desire to work 10 eX
listing parties 80 far as their political ends
and actions are concerned. 1t Is fair to take
the declarations of the league rather than
those of its critics In defining its object and
policy. Political parties are not made, like
Topsy, they grow.
