A WRONG VIEW.

Both the republican and democratic
parties in this county have been preach
ing to railroad employees, that if the
Peoples party came into power their
wages would be cut down. They base
their argument on the fact that the
third party is hostile to the railroads
and hence to its employees. Some ad-
vocate this theory through sincere be-
lief that the deductions are sound. The
politicians advocate it In the belief that
it is simply good campaign material.
Let us hold this theory up in the
bright, clear light of comparison and
see if there is anything in it. The Peo-
Pies party which was organized at Gin
cinnatti was composed of the industrial
organizations of the country. The Al
lance, the Knights of Labor, the Con-
federation of Labor and the different
Unions were all represented. This fact
should convince the most skeptical mind
that the party was started in the inter-
ests Of the laboring and producing class
es-not in the interest of one class but
for the welfare of all. In order, how
ever, to confine this article to the point
at issue, it is necessary to look at the
attitude Of the Peoples party toward
the railroads. One of the great evils
from which the people suffer, is the
enormous charges for freight carrying.
These over charges are not made in or
der that railroad employees may be paid
higher wages. Not at all. But they
are made so that dividends may be paid
on what is known as watered stock
that is stock that has been issued and
sold to investors over and beyond the
actual cost of the road. For instance,
supposing that the Santa Fe road, in
GLIDING equi2age, rails roadbed and all
cost $25, 900 per mile. The road be-
gins paying and the owners begin issu-
ing more stock, every dollar of which
thus issued, does not represent cent
of returning power, but yet it demands
a return and dividends have to be paid
upon it. As more watcred stock is add
ed, the dividends will naturally begin
diminishing unless the freight charges
are increased and employees wages are
cut down. This is what is done.
Strikes result among employees and a
cry goes up from those who patronize
the road. 1t is this unjust and unfair
advantage that the third party is fight
ing and not the employees. Indeed,
they are fighting directly In the inter-
ests Of the employees. If the Peoples
Earty could attain this end-prevent
the issuing of stock which does not rep
resent an earning power,-railroad en-
ployees' wages would be higher than
they are today. 1t is easily compre-
hended that there are but two ways of
paying dividends on stock that repre-
sents no value and that's by overcharg
ing for transportation or cutting down
wages. Hence, the Peoples party is
really fighting directly for the benefit
Of employees, and any assertion to the
contrary is against reason and facts.

FARMERS VS. SPECULATORS

FARMERS VS. SPECULATORS
From the State.
As the harvest of 1884, the larges
we ever had, was 512 million bushels
the last government report would indi
cate crop of 494 million bushels, say
500 million in round numbers.
The home consumption has increased
with the population and is certainly ov
er $50 million bushels, probably 36(
millions, which leaves 40 million fol
export.
During the last ten years we expor t
ed III millions yearly an average Of
which Europe received 1O7 millions
and the West Indies and South Ameri-
ca 20 millions.
This year We may have ID millions
more to spare, which however will 60
to South America on account of the re-
ciprocity treaties, and Europe will re-
ceive the average quantity of about lO7
million bushels and no more as we have
no reserves to draw upon.
This would make both ends meet
there if Europe had good average crop
but Europe has not good average
crop, in fact it has the worst crop fail.
ure Of the century.
Last winter was phenomenal all over
Europe in its severity and duration
Snow and ice covered even Italy and
Spain and were actually carried far in
to Africa. Vessels on the Mediteran-
ian came into port thickly covered with
ice and this abnormal weather worked
incalculable damage to the winter wheat
in all the countries of that continent.
The spring has been very late and very
unfavorable and even in June snow and
frost destroyed most of what was left in
half Of Germany and a great part of
Austria.
That the crop disaster is not local or
moderate or unexaggerated, can be
clearly seen by the actions Of the DIFF
ferent governments.
Russia appointed commission to in
vestigate the crop damages, which re-
ported wheat II per cent. below aver
age and rye much worse.
1t is the custom of that government
to quiet the alarm of the people, and
the damage therefore is surely not less
than reported but probably much more.
The following Associated Press dis
patches would indicate that the official
report does not tell the whole truth:
est. Petersburg, July 18th. The
suffering Of the people in the volga
country through famine is increasing
steadily"
est. Petersburg, July 18th. The
crop reports exclude all hope that there
will be surplus Of cereals for export.
The importation Of foreign breadstuffs
is unavoidable.
Austria is the only country, which
until recently had crop prospects not
much below an average, but an Asso-
ciated Press dispatch of June 18th
states that even that government is now
alarmed about the food question on &C
count of the destructive frosts in the
second week of June.
In Italy and Spain measures are un-
der debate tending to protect the peo-
pleegainst famine.
N Germany the advisability of call
ing together their congress on account
of failure Of the crops has been discuss
ed in long meeting of the cabinet, in
which votes were divided. The whole
press nov unanimously demands this
measure, and the council Of Berlin has
for it, and on account of the
last Disastrous frosts this extraordinary
step is considered unavoidable.

81 find that you cannot always dodge
the newspapers" said Secretary Small
ley, of the Democratic association. 1--WE
had a tariff reform meeting at the Grand
Pacific, at Chicago, the other day and
agreed to keep il secret, but somebody
leaked and a report got into one of the
papers next morning"
The meeting was held on Saturday,
and the report which appeared next
morning was somewhat garbled, and
gave it out that it was a secret meeting
to boom Cleveland. 1t appears that A.
d. Woodward, secretary of the Tariff
Reform League, of New York, asked
the secretaries of the Democratic COM
mittees of the Northwestern states to
meet him and devise methods of getting
out tariff literature in this section OF
country. Dr.. Wendell A. AndersOn.Of La
Crosse; B.L.Harding, of the DeS Moines
Leader, and p. j. Smalley were among
those who attended. MI Woodward, in
opening the discussion, said the North
west was the great field in which 1t was
expected to make converts to the cause,
and the league was anxious TO secure
thorough distribution OF literature IN
this section. The others agreed, and an
auxiliary Northwestern organization
was formed, with DR.. Anderson as pres
ident and Mr. Harding secretary.
The Chicago reports said there was
discussion of Cleveland, and the Illinois
members were inclined to favor Palmer
and to throw cold water on any Eastern
man. One of them is quoted as saying:
The democracy has been constantly
trying to elect an Eastern president,
while the Republicans elect Western
men. The only time, recently, that the
Republicans tried to elect an Eastern
man was when they put up Blaine, and
then we were successful. What we
want is Western man-say Palmer
though of course we ali like Cleveland"
No such conversation occurred" said
Secretary Smalley. "Of course we
talked politics, but the general senti-
ment was for Cleveland. Woodward is
a great friend of Cleveland, and | as
sured him Minnesota was for Grover,
instancing the meeting at Minneapolis
when Dan Lawler made his speech and
got all the applause when Cleveland's
name was mentioned. And l am free to
say now that when the convention is
held don't believe there will be an
other name presented"

The Joint committee on ways and
means of the common council met last
evening for the purpose of taking up
the estimate of the tax levy prepared by
the city comptroller and referred by
the conference committee to the COM
mon council for passage. Assembly
man Costello presided, and there were
present Messrs. COnley. Dobner, OPP
penheim, Sanborn, City Treasurer Refs.
Comptroller Ponthan and City Attorney
LaWler. The committee carefully
discussed the various items of the
estimate, which amounts to S1,5SS,02
Messrs. Oppenheim and Sanborn were
in favor of increasing the tax estimate
as prepared, Mr.. SanbOrn moving that
1t be T34 mills and Mr.. Oppenheim
favorlng l1.2 mills instead of 1917 mills,
as estimated by the comptroller. This
is exclusive of 215 mills levied for school
purposes. Both MessrS. Oppenheim and
Sanborn argued that previous expert
ence showed that fully 20 per cent of
tax levy was always delinquent. The
new charter prohibited the city from
creating any Indebtedness, and, as re-
suit, 1t would be found that if only 80
per cent of the tax estimate could be
collected next year it would not be suf-
hclent to pay the expenses of the city
for the fiscal year.
City Treasurer Refs stated that $780,
600 of past delinquent taxes would near
ly all probably be collected next year
and help to pay the cltys expenses. The
committee OH a vote decided in favor of
the increase suggested by Mr.. Open
helm, which is Seyen-tenths of a mill
more than the figures estimated by the
city comptroller. The joint committee
will thus recommend to the council
that the tax levy be 11.2 mills for city
purposes, which, with the school tax of
% mills, will raise the total city tax
1877 mills. Adding state and county
taxes the total taxation will be 20 mills
for all purposes.
