The Farmers Alliance Conven-
tions, held in South Dakota and
Pennsylvania recently, adopted
platforms utterly opposed to ex.
travagance, to unjust taxation, to
trusts and to everything that savor-
ed of politics in place of the busi-
ness of the country. They want
men, not politicians, business
management of the country's affairs,
not politics, and an honest admin
istratlon, be the party in power
which it may.

T. J. DoNCARLos informs us that
a Chicago grocery firm has agents
travelling around this county SELL
ing groceries to our farmers. He
says several hundred dollars worth
have been bought and, speaking
from experience, he advises the
farmers 10 buy here at home. This
is the advice the LEDGER has
always gwen and we are sure it
will pay IN the long run. Always
patronize, home industries and buy
from your home merchants. There
is no excuse for any one going
away from Mexico to buy goods.

The farmer can possibly do very
little individually, for himself, in
the control of his products in
foreign markets, but through or
ganization he can invoke the aid OF
the government, through its agri-
cultural department, to ascertain
what foreign countries import agri-
cultural products, and what policy
can be pursued by our government
for securing these markets for the
farmers of America.

The aim of the Farmers Alliance
and the organizations which af-
fiIiate with it is to find the cause
and apply the cure. The result of
their investigation thus far has led
them to the conclusion, in a gener-
al way, that the cause is chiefly
due to unwise legislation Or the
failure of the Government to meet
the situation with appropriate
remedies the cure, of course, is to
reverse this policy and it involves,
according to the present Alliance
programme, both positive legisla-
tion and repeal. 1t is not intre-
quently, indeed 1t is usually the
case, that the revolt of SO large a
mass of men as are engaged in this
movement will at first mistake the
nature of the evil with which they
have to deal and miss the right
remedy. While they feel keenly
they may see dimly and strike
blindly, and their measures of re-
lief may be as drastic and extreme
as their yoke Is CALLING and their
burden severe. In studying the
demands formulated by the ALI.
ance, therefore, one will be less
surprised by the ultra-radical Or
visionary character of some of their
ideas than by the ciear-headed
wisdom of others for men stung to
sudden action by intolerable
wrong are more often intemperately
earnest than wise.

THE farmers will make no mis-

home. Buy everything at home
from the merchants you know,
from the merchants who live among

Unfounded Prejudice.

When coal was first used as fueI
in England the prejudice against it
was SO strong that the House OF
Commons petitioned the King to
prohibit the use Of the ''noxiouS'
fuel A royal proclamation having
failed to abate the nuisance, a COM
mission was issued to ascertain who
burned coal within the city of Lon
don and its neighborbood, to punish
by force for the first offence, and bY
the demolition of their furnaces if
the; persisted in transgressing. A
law finally passed making it a CAPT
tai offence to burn coal in the city,
and only permitting it to be used by
forgers in the vicinity. 1t is stated
that among the records in the Tow
er Of London a document was found
according to which man was hung
in the time of Edward l., for no
other crime than having been caught
burning coal. 1t took about three
centuries to entirely uface the pref
ldice.
