THE FRIEND OF THE FARMER.

III there is a farmer i'm Iowa who
votes against Gov. Boies because he
stood up before the money kings Of
New York city and told them that the
farmers of the west were not being
justly treated in national legislation,
then that farmer deserves to be a hew.
er of wood and a drawer Of water all
the days of his life, deserves to be the
friendless slave Of every master heart
less enough to whip and goad SO de-
fenseless victim. The governor in
sisted that the Iowa farmer should re
ceive q larger average price for his
corn, and that he would receive bet
ter pay for his labor il he was not
legislated against. Tue Democrat
printed the Governors speech at the
time, ant tens of thousands OF copies
were in pamphlet form scattered
broadcast over the state by the Demo-
cratic central committee, but it is
worth reading o second time, and q
third time, for never were the farm
er's demands SO aptly presented to q
gathering of business men in the
nations metropolis. Take for illus
tration the following passages:
Recalling the sentiment Of my
toast, What the farmers have right
to demand permit me to add, they
represent an industry as old at least
as the civilization of man, as laborious
as any that has ever fallen to his lot,
without the successful prosecution OF
which the whole human family would
lapse into barbarism and end in de.
cay. A business that forms the base
of every other, without which the
channels of trade would soon run dry,
the cities of the earth moulder into
dust, and the wealth of the world dis
appear.
considered apart from their bust
ness they are the bone and sinew OF
this nation. With their own calloused
hands they have produced the bulk
OF it's wealth; in times OF war they
have been its sturdy defenders, in
times Of peace the promoters Of it's
welfare.
WHO shall set the limits of their
rightful demands upon country they
have made and preservedy Surely
cannot do this tonight. Brief. indeed,
must be my reference thereto.
'They have right to demand that
In the future policy Of this govern
ment no discrimination be made in
favor of other industries ut the ex-
pense of their own"
Such language and such u demand
alarmed Wall street. The reptile
press, in the employ of the favored
classes, was ordered to destroy the
audacious man who came all the way
from Iowa to tell them such things.
The tariff barons and money kings

Under a decision OF the sunrema

Under a decision OF the supreme
court, directors of an unincorporated
fair are individually liable for the un-
paid premiums. The court decides an
offer to pay certain premiums is an
agreement to pay as advertised, and
the unpaid portion can be recovered
from any director who is not execu-
ton proof. Too often directors
thoughtlessly, or otherwise, make
large offers to encourage exhibitors
to make an exhibition Of their wares.
The same class after payment to
themselves Of large salaries and secur-
ing the benefit of hundreds Of compli-
mentaries to further political schemes
or private business affairs, find them
selves unable to pay the premiums in
full. They never think to cut their
own salaries. But something must
be done, and usually the exhibitors
are put of with small per cent OF
the premiums, Ossian Bee.
