regions, in the fruit and wool-growing
districts r talking hard times. New
York State, with it's magnificent cities,
manufacturing and other industries,
(home markets) and with more money
than the entire South, is suffering with
the same disease. New YorRfarmers
are as intelligent, as thrifty as eco
nomical as any in the world. They
have the home markets, the r .ilroads.
Their farms are models of n~eatness-
they work persistently. But with all
this they are suffering, not so much
from a want of money in the State, but
from unequal distribution. Freights
are high and the prices of their products
are down and getting lower. The
money is in the State, but it is in the
Overlooking Golfers of corporations,
banks, and in the vaults of miIlionaires.
The farmers have permitted the buyers
to reduce prices with impunity, until
patience has ceased to be a virtue.
The same is true of all the populous
New England States. In addition to
low prices on the one hand, the trusts
have put up prices on what the farmer
buys. We are robbed at both ends of
the line.
The New York Herald now has COM
petent men Intervening farmers in the
interior of the State. They find many
complaining ones, and not a few are
leaving their old political parties,
hoping to get in a better one.
Thefarmers make mistakes like other
people. But most of their complaints
are not without causes. They know
that they are being robbed on every
hand. They know that the robbers are
getting rich and the robbed getting
poor. They know that the thousands
of milliOnaires are making millions of
paupers, for one millionaire must have
the earnings of ten thousand plain peo-
pie before he a claim 80 much money.
1t is well enough for farmers to reform
themselves first, but no man C an keep
blood in his veins while his body is
covered with blood sucking Ieeches
No doubt most of the remedies that
have been suggested, by the Alliance
al d the twenty other organizations,
that are associated in one common
effort, can be improved. But that
doesn't matter. You must vote for
plain reform candidates if you expect
any thing. If you SOW politicians pure
and simple you will reap trickery. If
you SOW cooperation attorneys you will
reap corporations, If you SOW rail
road men, you will reap high freights.
If you SOW bankers or manufacturers
you will reap high interest, contracted
currency, and high tariff All these
classes are entitled to representation,
but they get more than they are entitled
to without your help, and in spite of
your efforts to keep them out, Vote
only for men who are of the people,
men whose souls are not the property
of a corporation or class. 1t is time to
change. Begin today and or the 9Th
of November cast your vote on the
right side, for the right men, and if
successful you will have the satisfac
ton of knowing that you did your
duty.

more to kick against than they had
when the first declaration of indepen-
dence was declared. Ask any business
man or any farmer. They all know
that things are not running right. Ask
the farmers what they are getting for
cotton, tobacco, wheat and corn. This
wholesale robbery is the first thing to
check. Then such matters as the tariff,
free coinage of silver car be attended
to. Both ue important, but not more
so than the price of farm products.
With all u factories, schools, rail
roads, towns and cities with their
teeming millions, farm products ought
to bring more than ever before. There
is more demand for cotton than at any
time since the world started, and yet
it is low. Free coinage of silver will
remedy that. Hence you must have
more farmers in Congress. PROBES

ers will never do it. Sow farmers and
you will reap laws favorable to farm
ers."

The political strife which is now go

much disturbance in the social and re-

The depressed condition of the country,
the scarcity of money, the low price OF
the products of the farmer, and the
difficulty in finding employment for

the various political factions IN this
