Mr.. Porter calls attention to the
uniformity of the figures relative to the
several counties as fairly indicating
the average condition Of the entire
state.
It will be observed that in Kansas
the tenant farmers have increased in
the past decade 2O12 per cent. At
this rate how long ere Kansas will
become tenant state? There is
another fact to be observed in this
connection. The conditions which
have brought about the result indl-
Gated by Mr.. Porter's bulletin No. 18,
are only just beginning to produce
their effects, and the absorption OF
Kansas farms will progress much
more rapidly in the next, than in the
past decade.
Observe further, that the state of
Ohio is an old and a wealthy state.
Under fair conditions its tenant farm
ers should be diminishing rather than
increasing. In fact this should be
true of every state either old or new.
Still in Ohio they have increased 1214
per cent.
This may be calamity, but if so Mr..
Porter is responsible for it. The i'm
portant fact for all classes of people
to consider is, what is the cause Of
this increase of tenant farmsi Is it
not about time for rational men to
cease their party idolatry long enough
to investigate this subject?

THE PERCENTAGE OF TENANT FARM
ERS.

By a singular oversight, the CGpi'
tai, in its Sunday edition, in sum-
ming up the evidences Of pros
psrity of Kansas farmers, omits all
reference to Superintendent Porter's
extra census bulletin of April s,
1892. This bulletin presents the re-
suits Of a special investigation in ten
counties IN Kansas and ten counties
in Ohio relative to the percentage OF
tenant farmers in 1880 and in 1890.
Concerning the investigation Mr..
Porter says:
In selecting the Kansas counties the effort was
made to ind a body Of nelghbOling counties.

ones. with the hOpethat their conditions would be
a fair average for the whole state. In the seec-

sides of the farmers with whom they
so deeply sympsthize, and if it is
necessary to give the subject more at
tention it will be done.
We are aware that the people are
told that we do this because the Ma
tional Union company refused to put
up for our silence. Such disinter-
ested patriots as Mr.. Snyder have
circulated this report and our friends
send us information of it wherever
he goes. He has been connected with
the exchange since it's organization in
this state, and was for long time
connected with the American Live
Stock Commission company as the
representative OF the exchange at q
salary Of 5000 per month, and the
farmers who shipped stock to the
American were led to believe that he
was paid this salary to sell their
stock. We are assured by the best
authority that during the whole time
OF his connection with the American
he never sold a head Of stock of any
description whatever. He was merely
an ornament, q figure head to secure
Alliance shipments to this company.
He poses as an Alliancemsn and
never fails to vote the straight Re-
publican ticket from top to bottom.
And this is the man who is travelling
about the state and telling the people
that The ADVOCATE is fighting the
National Union company because it
refused to buy our silence. We do
not care to waste words in denial.
As many people may believe the silly
tale as have sufficient confidence in
Mr.. Snyder's word to induce them to
do 80.
As further illustrating some OF the
methods Of the National Cordsge
company and its offspring, we append
the following from the Farm, Field
and StOcEman of April Is:

aud energy and wealth to back their plans, make
them formidable foe for the farmers and anti
trust tWlne mills to contend with.
Their settled policy Is to destroy or absorb the
American hemp tWine mills, These mills are
great thorn in the side Of the trust, and no
means will be left untried, no matter how un-
scrupulouS, to get rid OF them. There are three
OF these mlllS--the kentucky River Mill, the
Red Elephant MIL, at Champaign, Illinois, and

ANOTHER INsTALLMENT OF NATIONAL
UNION INFORMATION.

this Office the resolution which he
succeeded in inducing the Reno
County Alliance to adopt, takes occa-
sion to express the belief that when
the people are properly informed con-
Cerning the National Union company
they will endorse instead Of condemn
it. We undertake to say that neither
Mr.. Sandusky or any other represen-
tativa of the company imparts full in
formation to anybody respecting the
company. Mr. Sandusky denied at
one time that the plan OF the COM
psny as published in The ADVOCATE
Of December 30, 1891, was the correct
plan upon which it was proposed to
conduct the business. That state
ment will not hold water because a
member Of our National Reform
Press Association has q copy OF the
plan with the official seal Of the COM
pany attached, which is word for
word the same as that which we pub
lished. That being the case why did
Mr.. Ssndusky deny the correctness
Of our report9 This member of our
association received this copy for ex-
animation at the time when the COM
pany made him a proposition for q
service it desired him to render,
which he regarded as bribe and re-
ieCted it as an honest man should.
Again, when parties honestly seek
ing information respecting the COM
pany have made inquiries concerning
the men who compose it, they have
been given no satisfaction. 1t has been
denied that the same men are behind
it who own and control the stock Of
the National Cordage trust. This
we have shown to be false pretense;
and it has been made 80 clear that
this is the case that Mr.. Snyder under
takes to show the exceeding great
msgnsnlmity of the National Cord
age company in reducing the price
of twine to the farmers last year.
The National Cordsge company had
q very good reason, aside from any
wish to benefit the farmers, for re-
ducing the price Of twine last year.
There were several competing fac
tories which the trust desired to freeze
out, and it succeeded with many OF
them. There are few yet remaining,
however, some of which are manu-
facturil g twine from home grown
material, and the National Cordsge
company will undoubtedly display
its great msgnanimity again this year
by reducing the price of tWiDe with
hope of freezing out the little re-
naming competition that still exists.
We have a large amount of matter
relating to this subject on file which
we shall use as space permits. Al
present we are giving our space
mostly to correspondents. The pc
culiar methods OF the representatives
Of the National Union company il

The County Fair

Although it is some months yet
before the time for holding the
Lyon County Fair, we believe that
the Directors should ere long begin
taking steps to make our Fair a
success this year. We bulieve it is
generally conceded that the Fair
cannot be made a success at Wa
buska, and will have to be held
either in Dayton or Greenfield. II
a change Of places is made it will
necessitate the removal of the fenc-
es, buildings, etc, and this will
take some time. Our opinion is
that Dayton is the place to hold the
Fair, for many reasons that have
been heretofore given, but where
ever the Directors see fit to locate
the Fair, let us pull together and
make it success, as we have the
material to do so.

Cook & Co. have shipped about
fourteen hundred head of cattle

Jewett Adams is driving between

The middle creamery is pushing
things, and will be making butter
within two weeks, as all their ma

at the residence of Joseph Spots

Edith Spotswood, one of Potter's
bellies, were united in the holy

and then sat down to a banquet
amply prepared for the occasion.
Wit, humor and merrymaking were
INDUCED in until late hour. The
happy couple left for San Francisco
the next day, where they sojourned
about ten days and then returned
to Potter Valley, where they will
probably remain.
Johnny Pursley was, some years
ago, devil" in the TIMES Office, and
he was a good one, too. We can
hardly realize that time has flown

The school Trustee suit.

The case of Miss Alley, the for

against the trustees of that district
was tried before a jury in Justice
Craig's Court in Greenfield last
Saturday. 1t will be remembered
that the Wabuska school trustees
expelled Miss Alley from her school
some two months ago for some triv-
ial cause. She sued the trustees
for $3.50 salary and $149 damages,
and the jury awarded her the en-
tire amount, 5000. Attorney John
Lothrop conducted the case for
