FARMERS JOINED THE PROCESS
SION.

All thinking men who belong to labor
organizations will note with satisfac-
ton the reports that in some States
the farmers in great numbers joined
the professions yesterday, says the
New York Herald of the 9TH.
1t must have been through oversight
rather than intention that the farmers
were not persuaded to join in the
earlier associations formed to secure
legislation in favor of men who work
with their hands as we'll as their heads.
If the so-called labor vote expects TO
be a powerful Influence iii politics it
must become numerically stronger,
and its recruits must come mainly
from the farms. The politicians whom
The Workingmen distIUst and the bust
ness combinations which they fight
are quite as obnoxious to the farmers
as to any other class. For some reason
more legislators and Congressman are
selected from the farming population
than from the mills and railroad
yards.
The workingInen must have the
farmers with them if they hope ever
to form a party which shall be strong
enough to stand alone, instead OF be
ny sometimes the ally of one of the
older parties. sometimes of the other,
only to be fooled by both.
From this we must conclude that the
Herd}d has at last gotten It's eyes open
to the true state of affairs. 1t IS strange
indeed that the laborers III factories
and mills have not joined hands with
the farmers before this time. Last
Monday was Labor Day" and was
generally Observed by working people
in many States, and, as the Herald
says, the workingmen were joined by
farmers in many places. This is good
news. Their interests are almost iden-
tically the same and if there is a
thorough mixing of sentiment and a
united effort made, no earthly power
can stay the progress of this move
ment.

GOOD TIDINGs FROM KANSAS.
President Polk at Holton--The Brethren
Rejoiced to Know that the South
Is with Them--Willets

Home.

4OA4N
LBy Telegraph to THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER.I
HOLTON, Kansas, Sept. II.
Col. Polk is with us and all doubts
about the South are at rest. But three
days in our midst, and thousands, tens
Of thousands, yes acres of loyal Ali
ancemen and women have had joy
brought into their hearts by the decla-
ration of their grand leader that the
South is with us, heart and soul, in the
grandest movement of centuries, with
us on the Ocala platform, that will
lead to success in 1892. Willetts and
Simpson came to us fresh from Presi
dent Folks country, with the glad
tidings, and tell us also of the loving
way they we're taken into the arln
and hearts Of the Southern people;
thai cheer after cheer caule from thou
sands of Threats when President Polk
is announced to address people,
and every eye beams with a welcome
for him; every heart inspired by the
blessed news he speaks. Yes, thencan
we say, at last, united the North and
South, united by the chord that nature
has touched that maketh them one.

A E MISTAKE.

We see from the National Alliance,
organ of the cOlored Farmers Alliance
of the United States, that r. NJ. Hum
phries, General superintendent, has
perfected arrangements for a general
strike of the colored cotton pickers
throughout the South, to go into effect
on the 18th of this month, which was
last Saturday. He advises them to go
about it peacefully and stand firm
until their demand is granted, They
want 81 per hundred for all cotton they
pick.
We think this a great mistake on
the part of our colored friends at this
time. With cotton selling at : and S
cents there is absolutely no profit in it.
So even so cents per hundred is q big
price, fully equal to the price of the
cotton. An additional So cents per
hundred means 81. 50 added to the cost
of raising the cotton after it is ginned.
If lint cotton was selling at 10 cents
our farmers would just be where they
now are after adding the extra 81 80 to
the cost of raising and picking.
The white farmers of the South are
the best friends the colOred people

The Mackerel and the Blue Fish.

The mackcrel left suddenly last week. ana
where they have gone no "feler'' can ind out.
Mr.. Sewal Patterson, who lives down In Dycrs
yard, and who knows all about fish, saws the
mackerel have been driven out of the bay by blue-
FISH Wen, why don't you catch the buefish>"
asked some one. 'Thc buetish have gone after
the mackcrel," said Patterson. Probably the fish,
OF another school, Will visit our bay during the
season.
There is no doubt but that the mackercl have
been driven away by the blueflsh. From many
points in rcnobscot Bay the same cry is raised,
"bluelish are plentiful" The steamer Hurricane
Is reported to have caught 1900 pounds of hueffsh
in seine of Monhegan. The fish averaged five
pounds each They were shipped to Boston
No doubt bluefsh can he caught in our bay
If parties should rig up for them. To catch blne-
fish live bait must be used, or else trail for them
with bluefsh JIG as they do in Buzzarls Bay
"As soon as get an opportunity" said Mr. Pat
terson, I'm going TO try for bottom II sh on the
hard bottom outside the monument" Mr. Patter.
son says that two miles southeast Of the monu-
ment there is a spot where fish were plentiful
when he WAS boy. Cod paddock and halibut
were taken in large numbers. 1t WAS no trick at
all to load a boat IN one day. Mr.. Patterson says
1t is reported that bottom fish have been caught
this summer at lscsboro, and he believes his fav-
ofite spot Will yield him fish. 1t has been many
years since cod and paddock have been caught in
our w6ters.
Mackerc again put in an appearance In the bay
Monday, when fair catches were made. The fish
were absent Just one week.
B!uefsh have been seen i'll great numbers OF old

The White Squadron Will Visit Belfast

Congressman Miliken recently wrote the Navy
department asking that the white squadron might
be sent to Belfast. Last week Mr.. Milliken re-
ceived a letter from the Acting Secretary of the
Navy stating that in compliance with his request,
he had ordered the commander in chief of the
white squadron to visit Belfast If practicable.
This was not satisfactory to Mr.. Milliken, and
that gentleman went to Bar Harbor early this
week to consult with Secretary Tracy who is there
and to ask that the fleet be sent here. The two
sections Of the white squadron have unite at Bar
HarDor making fleet of nine vessels.
Tuesday afternoon Hon. W. C. Marshall receiy-
ed the following telegram from Mr.. Milliken
BAR HARBoR, ME-, Aug %
Hon. w. {. MARSHALL:
The White Squadron will visit Belfast Mon
day afternoon and remain till Wednesday morn
ing. S. l.. MILLIKEN
Our citizens will have opportunity to see
these magnificent war vessels, and are under last
ing obligation to Mr.. Milliken for the energy he
has displayed In bringing this visit about. The
people of Waldo county should rally at Belfast
on Tuesday, for it is doubtful if many of them
will ever again have the great privilege of seeing
so many of the fleet of evolution.
