Do We Want a Third Fa.ty.

The Journal of Agriculture, the
official organ of the +. and l.. t., of
Missouri, says:
1t looks that way. All the indica-
items seem to point to the absolute
necessity of the farmers running Il
third ticket, composed Of their own
candidates. in order to secure their
demands.
The journal of Agriculture Is not

In united wisdom Of the people is
greater than that Of any man, be he

While the real estate mortgages
foot up 190,OGO,On0 in Iowa, they az
rregatc only $50 900. 900, in Alabama
and these mostly due t" mining and
manufacturing investments. In Iowa
the capitalist owns the mortgage and
receives rent 10y way Of interest. In
Alabama the title is in the capitalist
who receives rent direct. In Alabama
the tiller of the soil wants the sub
treasury law, So that he may get re-
lief from the landlord Ivy obtaining
money on his cotton In Iowa he
wants government loans on land SO
that he can escape from the clutches
of the mortgage holder. Government
loans on land is measure that will
bring general relief IN the North
West and East, while such loans in
the South would only give the ricl
plantation owners greater advantage

POLITICAL INDEPENDENCE

In view of the decadcncc OF old is
sues and the presence of the new ones
now under discussion, political in'ic
pcndcncc is rapidly becoming the
slogan of that portion Of the people
who manifest this daring quality.
In this come ;tion 1t is apparent
that a spirit of political unrest is
abroad in the land which responds 10
the demands of such political mea-
sures and social reforms as appeal to
individuals wants and the general pub
lie veal. This generates Il feeling of
personal sclf-assurance and indepen-
dciicc, which cxcltes 4 disposition to
reach ont for some sort of public leg
lslation, for something that will relieve
the stagnation Which :, limited circui,,-
ton medium of money exchange and
other distributing influences have
caused.
And so. now, when old political par
ties fail to meet these wants. and
manifest no willingness t. supply
Tire strin5ency TO which We have /.
fcrred by declaring for mere mcncy
and the reform Of general abuses, ii
is not surprising that the spirit of in
, div;dral independence should arise,
and that mcc should look around foi
some other agency to furnish a solu
| ton for the disabil ties under wii:c!
, they labor.
This is the situation. and these n;
| tie conditions which confront rs to
day, and this accounts for the great
number of new, social and political
organizations which the present times
have developed and brought int,
existence.
SO, under these circumstances, tht
old parties, if they fail to fall in wit!
the new IDEAS which these conditions
imply, must not be surprised When
independent individualism asserts 1t
self and resolves into organized ac
ton rs a consequence thercof.-Na

The Kentucky State Democratic
convention met last week anal follow
ed in the path laid down by Cleve-
Ernd and other monopoiistic and bond
holders friends by going ii strong on
tariff reform and rendering its graft
tude to the Democrats in The last
congress for their almost unanimous
vote in both houses in favor of the
free coinc &c Of silver The former
candidate for governor was defeated
which will place Kentucky safely in
the alliance column by 1892. From
the action of the above state conven-

the seventies by appearing to be the
friends of the people until the ''fana
