captured and turned into channel
Of thought away from the details of
farming that their unwillingness to
como back to familiar scenes Of the
farm and cattle yard were manifest
in Impotence and inattention which
could not fail to be embarrassing to
any speaker. Many seemed bent on
discussing with their next neighbor
the. to them, new subjects for thought
presented to them by Mr.. Dunning's
Alliance doctrine, together with the
advance of evening, suggested home
going and Impotence On account of
these conditions Mr.Balderston's dis
course failed to receive the attention
it merits, and the importance the
subject demands. All in all the first
day of the meeting marked the be-
ginning of an era in farmers meet
ings in this part Of the State that

The Daily Press.

The Western Rural in pen picture OF
the daily press very aptly portrays it:
Some of our daily papers are edited
with scoop shovel and automatons.
There is lot of fellows hired to fill so
much editorial space. They are
machines that are set to produce certain
results, just as hand organist sets his
music box to grind out a tune. The
policy of the paper for instance is to
denonnce every demand made by the
farmers. The editorial automaton is,
therefore, set to write on that line, He
has no principles of his own; no per-
sonal knowledge of what he is writing;
cannot write anything different from
what he does write; does not care
whether he writes truth or lies, and is
generally an irresponsible, reckless,
thoughtless piece of machinery; and
yet there are farmers who are support
ing just such papers" And we will
add to the above faithfully true picture
there are dozens of that class of dailies
brought to this town every day.

The Agricultural College.

A great change has occurred in the
condition and prospects of this In
stitution. Instead of being barely
able to exist, with land and build
ings run down and burdened with
debt, as was the case q few years
ago, Congressional grants now insure
it comfortable income, the debt has
been mostly paid, the buildings well
repaired, and the farm is being i'm.
proved as fast as possible with such
soil.
For the first time il the history Of
the College it has full corps of ten
professors, besides special instructors
and lecturers, and is prepared to
give thorough instruction in all
sthose branches of learning relating
to agriculture Every department
is in charge of competent specialist,
secured by fair salary. and supplied
with the latest and best appliances
to facilitate instruction. Within a
year several Thousand dollars have
been expended for models and
apparatus of the most approved pat
tern.
The greater part in the income
from the U. S. Treasury can be ex-
pended under the law "only for in.
struction and facilities for instruc.
tion," so that while these important
parts of the college work are well
supported, the aid of the State is still
necessary to maintain the property
and meet the general expenses of adj
ministration.
The regular report of the College
for the last year and the announce
ment for the next year have been
lately issued. They give the facts
above and also show the institution
TO be gaining in number of students
and in many ways substantially i'm
proved, and prepared better than
ever before to do well the work for
which it was established. The new
year opens the 10Th of September.
Particulars can be obtained by ad
dressing the president, at College
Park, Prince Georges county, Nd.

Reckless Statements of the Daily
Press.


The two following paragraphs are
clipped from the same edition of
one of our daily papers.
There are excellent signs that the
free silver idiocy is diminishing, in
stead of increasing, in strength.
The better The people study and un-
derstand the subject the further they
get away from ideas Of unlimited
coinage and deprecated currency.
1t is the confident expectation that
the very first measure which the next
House will pass will be free coinage
'bill-a bill which will not be restrict
ed to American silver, but will per-
nit the silver of the world to be
dumped upon the helpless Treasury
OF the United States.
The contradiction of these two
paragraphs is only equaled by the
ridiculous folly of their assertion.
They are both clipped from our own
Baltimore american of Tuesday
last. The plutocratic press daily
teams with this crazy stuff. These
automatic editors must believe the
people were born fools-or may be
the other fellows were born that way

The Battle on the Money Line.

The campaign in Ohio is the preliminary
skirmisi of the Presidential and Congress
sional battle of 1892. The lines on which
this Ohio skirmish has opened are the lines
on which the great contest of 1872 will be
fought out The politicians and entire
press of the old parties declared that the
tariff line was TO be, aye must be the battle
line. The Alliance, having no political
party in the field, holding or controlling no
federal offices but bitterly opposed BY the
administration and all the great statesmen(?)
in Congress, said No the money question
shall be the battle ground for the campaign
of '92. And what do we nov behold? In
the very opening skirmish, IN Ohio, with
the enemy's chosen captain, Mckinley, in
command, followed quickly by the old
commander, Sherman, the battle is forced
upon the money line. BY sheer moral
weight the Alliance has driven the enemy
(both the old parties) from his chosen posi-
ton on tariff, and compelled him to fight on
the financial line and TO make defensive
and losing fight on the reconciliation OF
silver. Mckinley deyotes the opening and
most ingenious portion of his speech to sill
yer, and Sherman makes one of his most
elaborate, evasiye, misconstruing and mis-
leading speeches on finance. Every point
he advances has been met, his mis.state--
ments exposed and false reasoning refnted
by an overwhelming array Of facts and sta
tistics which when confronted with on the
floor Of the Senate he was unable to deny.
The same hackneyed arguments both he and
Mckinley used are old, have done duty a
score Of times and been mercilessly exposed
till their fallacies and unblushing false
statements are familiar TO every intelligent
reader of the reform press. The old parties
have been outgeueraled at the start and
forced 10 virtually abandon their chosen
ground, the tariff. Thanks to the great re-
form movement and educational campaign
that has been going ON that old political
humbug, the tariff, has been thrust TO the
rear and compelled TO occupy lower seat
in future. The campaign speakers will have
to unload their tariff figures aud provide
themselves with supply ofdiferent amuni-
tion. Both the old parties were eagerly
anxious to go before the country with the
tariff, torch lights and brass bands, but
the popular voice says in nnmistakable
| terms: No. we have had enough of that.
The old parties are clearly outgeneraled
and forced to fight on the ground chosen by
their enemy and will as surely be beaten as
the SCOTS at the battle OF Dunbar.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

The Democratic papers in the South and
the Republican papers in the North are en-
deavoring 10 produce dissention in the ranks
of the Alliance. They exhibit great inge.
nuity and skill in their efforts, but SO far
they have been of but little avail. The
members of the Alliance know what thay
united for; they have discovered their own
strength, and they intend TO stand by each
other firmly and faithfully until they have
accomplished the ends which they seek,
and that is to emancipate the farmers from
! the rule Of the money kings, railway cor
porations, and grain gamblers. These things
can be done by providing for greater
volume of money, and method by which
that volume of money be distributed among
the people. The second step would be the
control of transportation by the Govern
ment, and the third the prohibition Of
trading in fntnres. With these three things
accomplished, and it will not require much
Legislation, or many years to formulate laws
and place them upon the statute books by
which all this can be acc ,mplished, then
the Alliance will have completed its work,
and given TO the Republic the best Govern
ment the world ever saw.
Mr.. Gompers, President ofthe Federation
of Labor, the largest wage-worker organiza-
tion in the country, has written letter
which is published in the New York Re-
corder, in which he declares that there
ought to be some restrictions placed upon
immigration into the country. Mr.. Com
pers' views upon this subject are conserv-
alive and we'll worth the consideration of
the people. He has proved himself to be
very able executive, and has a following of
several hundred thousand voters, who have
every confidence in his integrity and ahil-
lily, and he doubtless expresses lheil views.
The products of American labor are protect
ed by high duties and it would seem but
fair that the men who do the producing
should be protected from The competition Of
those who are not Americans, who have not
American habits, and who when they come
to this country do not assimilale with The
American people, but retain all the habits
and customs Of the countries from which
they migrate.
The third party has effected an organiza-
tion 10 Massachusetts and adopted substan-
tally the platform made at Columbus,
Ohio. There are some radical ideas in the
Massachusetts platform which have not
been so clearly or SO radically expressed
elsewhere, but on the whole it is such plat
form as every honest country loving Amer
lean citizen can place himself with perfect
confidence. A ticket will be put in the field
this fall, not with the expectation Of cleo
ton, but with the intention Of securing an
organization that will be effective in the
next fall.

this country, and with the interest and
profits squeezed out Of the producing class,
has continued TO purchase other property,
till they now own large portion of the
most valuable properties in the United
States, 10 which they are constantly adding
purchased BY the money the people earn
that is going to pay interest on this vast
debt, which has nearly all been created by
nothing less than an absolute swindle, and
after the rebellion was quelled.
How intelligent people can hesitate to
join in the demand that silver shall be re-
stored again as money metal equal TO gold,
and begin to undo such dishonest transac-
ton by bringing down the purchasing power
of gold and of debts that are shown 10 be
largely the result of swindIing scheme, is
mystery. These foreigners. assisted by
their agents, the American National banks
and their attorneys in Congress. are gobbling
up the best properties in the country and
carrying off the profits from them TO uphold
monarchical and aristocrstic nations.
If it was not for the money famine that
has afflicted the United States for the last
20 years, all these valuable properties would
now be owned and operated by our own
citizens, the debts, national and state, would
have been paid and scarcely mortgage
wonld burden the farm. With fictitious
debts eating up all the property that can be
created by the industry OF our people there
is nothing but bankruptcy and ruin before
us, unless the power Of money 10 harm is
checked by increasing the volume of the
circulating medium, and the restoration Of
silver to lis ancient place as one Of the
money metals. The latter wonld prove q
long stside towards bringing back the pros.
perity Of former days.
