The signs Of the times indicate that
this "good time coming" will arrive
through cooperative channels. It is
Important, therefore, that all the people
should investigate this subject and to
this end q cooperative department will
appear in THE ADVOCATE that this theme
may be brought for discussion before the
Alliance organizations. The Alliance ls
proving itself to be most efficient school
Of progressive thought. Many of the
Alliance organizations of this and other
states are deeply interested in the sub
jeCt Of cooperative work, and we hope
through their aid and that of q depart
ment In such q paper as THE ADVOCATE,
that all will become so.
The writer does not hereafter propose
to occupy much space In this department
with her own writings; but simply to
classify and arrange selections from much
abler writer's on this subject. We believe
The ADVOCATE readers will find these
both interesting and convincing. will

There is demand for q comprehensive and
farmer, and set forth his condition, the infu-
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 callings. 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-workerS in general. In q clear, forcible
style, with abundant citations of facts and fg-
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 compendium Of
the facts, figures, and suggestions which the
farmer ought to have at hand.
The FARMER'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 10 our readers at the pub
lishers' price. The book may be obtained at
our office, or we viii forward copies to any
address, postpaid, on receipt Of Sl.OO per copy.
We have also made arrangements by which
we can give this book and years subscription
to The ADVOCATE for el.76. Address

with other kindred sayings passed for tn
quinEessence Of wisdom.

ID that time wouldn't be worth mentioning
II it did not represent DpOnev, and tina
money iS by far the more valuable article
Of the two.
Il certainly has made time 80 complete
" identical with itself that it has swal
lowed It up 30 far as the majority Of the
people are concerned.
1If only had timer From what &
variety Of mouths, and expressive Of
what q variety Of burdens and deprivA
tlCne, / have heard these words.
'Gf / only could take the time to give
my eyes a rest" / have heard tired
bent woman say, whose eyes were almost
worn out with all-dsy and almost all
night toiling over fine sewing which hex
necessities and the price that competition
puts ON labor compelled her to perform In
o manger that wrecked the body and
Sapped the life she t0iled to support.
%Oh, If / only had time to 60 into the
country for even a day any breathe some
thing pursr than smoke and dust, and
hear something more restful than the
everlasting whirr and jar Of machinery
that we have to keep up with till we feel
that we are just part Of it," said pale,
premAturely old-looking factory girl, who
knew that to take such q day Of rest
would forfeit the place in which she
earned barely enough to keep soul and
body together. For are not thousands Of
needy fellow creatures seeking eagerly
for even poorer places in which TO work
for plttance to support life.
"Ii only could get the time to read a
llttle," wlstfully said a work-driven fell
low mortal whose bright intellect crSved
food more than did the weary body it
tenanted.
''Ti / only could spare q day TO rest up
q little," sighed an overworked farmer
who had planted and harvested and
threshed and hauled to mnrket enough
grain to feed q hundred men; but from
which some mysterious thief had stolen
the power to bestow on its producer even
day Of rest.
ayes, ] do wish we could have time to
enjoy life q little and more than all give
the children a chance to 90 to school
We do need help and can't afford to hire;
but It is q shame to have them grow up
~ they are doing" said his equally tried
and hsrd-worklng wife, mourning with
tFue maternal sollcltude more over the
lack Of opportunities for developement
for the children than for the baErennesa
pI her own life. Would that the govern
ment we call 30 "great" and wealthy"
had more-or expressed more--of the
material element and could discern that
lis true greatness and real wealth lies In
tho full development and free opportu-
nifty of all lts citizens. No nation can be
great whose people are dwsrfed and
stunted physically by overWork and
mentally by lack Of that leisure which

IioyB an untrameIed physical freedom
and an immunity from responsibilities
which are no longer possible for the hu-
man on q higher plane; but the benefits
and enjOyments Of that higher plane can
only be resped, and, indeed, the very
fOothold upon II retained by the con-
tinual cultivation Of the mental and
moral powers; for in their full develop
ment lies the mighty compensation for
the limitations and responsibilities to
which humanity falls heir In its upward
march from the animal plane. And woe
to the individual or combination OF In
dividualS wholshall dare to rob humanity
Of that which alone can compensate 1t
for being human!
What claim then, has any government
to ''wealth" and prosperity" whose In
dustrial and financial System" has
robbed It's people Of means and slime"
to be more than beasts, and "beasts of
burden" at that? Which Is forcing an
ever increasing thronR Of little children
TO toll that their weak little hands may
contribute to the vast store house OF ma
tional wealth filed by the busy hands Of
the seamstress, the factory hand, the
farmer and the millions Of toiling hands
the world over, which produce all the
necessities, comforts and luxuries Of life.
They produce them, do they. Why, then
do they not possess and have time TO en-
JOY them? Who seems to be carrying

sands Of lief Surely not that stald gray

The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1891-10-15

GOVERNOR CAMPBELL is q man OF
wonderful versatility. He makes q
new speech at almost every town he
visits. He seems to catch crowd at
the start. Up In wyandotte county he
addressed an audience of about 5000,
largely made up of farmers. In his
opening he not only put the entire aud
fence In good humor, but he put in his
points and telling blows ut the opposl-
ten in every sentence. Let us quote
his opening, as taken by stenographer;

we nlso raise Democrats. LaughterD L
am not SO good a farmer however as am
Governor, and that is why think

enough to quit raising unprotected hogs
and begin raising protected sheep.
(Laughter.) have no "a cent wool on my
hnuds. daughter and cries of "good.")
That good" must be for the gentlemen
who was 30 generous in his praise when
introducing me, Mr.. Hare. (Laughter)
This morning drove out to the old mis-
zion church and stood at the graves of his
ancestors, the old chieftans of the Wyan-
dot tribe. (Laughter) He however is
very live Indian, and we don't intend to
let him die until we elect him Governor of
Ohio. (Laughter.) That will be after l
get through with the office. Laughter.)
Now, | think you farmers have heard
something about wool. Uaughter) |
think that Cherle Foster last year in u
speech over hero at Sycamore told the
g. a.. Al H.
Kinley bill would raise the price of wool
to 40 cents. Applause, and a voice, II
heard it, ! was there.0 OF course you
heard 1t. But where is the man who sold
his wool for 40 cents? "a voice, ~ sold
mine for 10 cents.'0 Yes, that's II.
Major Mckinley told you the same thing,
but his statements did not prove TO he
