the FARMERS SIDE.
"Where ye are, hOw we got here,
and the way out. "
By Hon. w. A. PETER,
U 8. SENATOR FROM KANSAS.
U. 8. SENATOR FROM KAN

There is demand for comprehensive and
authoritative book which shall represent the
farmer, and set forth his condition, the inAu-
ences surrounding him, and plans and prospects
for the future. This book has been written by
Hon. W. A. PETER, who was elected to the
United States Senate from Kansas to succeed
Senator Ingalls,. The title is THE FARMERS
SIDE, and this indicates the purpose of the work.
In the earlier chapters, Senator PETER de-
scribes the condition of the farmer in various
parts of the country, and compares it with the
condition of men in other callngs. He carefully
examines the cost of labor, Of living, the prices
of crops taxes, mortgages, and rates of interest.
He gives elaborate tables showing the increase
of wealth in railroads, manufactures, banking,
and other forms of business, and he compares
this with the earnings of the farmer, and also
wage-workeB in general. In a clear, forcible
style, with abundant citations Of facts and fig
ures, the author tells how the farmer reached
his present unsatisfactory condition. Then fol-
lows an elaborate discussion of "The Way out"
which is the fullest and most authoritative pres
entation of the aims and views of the Farmers
Alliance that has been published, including full
discussions of the currency, the questions Of
interest and mortgages, railroads, the sale of
crops, and other matters of vital consequence.
This book is the only one which attempts to
cover the whole ground, and it is unnecessary
TO emphasize its value. 1t is q compendium Of
the facts, figures, and suggestions which the
farmer ought to have at hand.
The FARHHR's SIDE has just been issued,
and makes . handsome and substantial book
Of $50 pages. We have arranged with the pub
fishers for its sale to our readers at the pub
lishers' price. The book may be obtained ct
our office, or we viii forward copies to any
address, postpaid, on receipt Of e1.OO per copy.
We have also made arrangements by which
We can give this book and years subscription
