The department. Of agriculture
with q commissioner which is . oab.,

the passage Of the bill providing f,r
meat inspection Law that has incress.
cd the expectation Of meats alone in
the last year over sixty million dol.
lars the result Of which hogs to-day
are commanding . better price than
for years before. The pure food bill
i%ntSoduced by Senator Paddock and
poshed to . successful passage in the
senate and now pending in the lower
house is Of no less vital importance
to the producer and consumer alike.
l cannot c~anceive Of aoy good reason
Why any man, be be . farmer, laborsr
or artisan 10 not infsvor OF q Law that
makes it . crime to label aud sell On
article under false and delicious
names. Now Mr.. Editor in view Of
the above facts lin the words Of the
illustrious GrOver) l view with alarm
the assembling Of the present legisla-
ture and the course it is likely to per.
u in the selection Of the next United
States senator and I wonder if the
people Of this state will be satisfied
with the putting aside a man who has
worked honestly, faithfully, and pro-
duced such good results for the peo-
pie Of this state and the whole Nation,
for q man who has never had the ex.
perience and We do not know whether
he possesses the honesty or not. The
populists claim that they desire to ad-
vance good honest farmers, and they
will feel safest with such men to look
after their interest than professional
men, to that l say amen. Senator
Paddock ID q farmer, and lives to-day
on the same farm that he did % years
ago. Mr.. Editor I believe that every
farmer who has given the subject care.
full thought, believes the question.
Whether Senator Paddock will be
returned or not, 10 Of O. much impor.
lance to their interest as is any tariff
legislation that will be evaded by the
incoming Democratic administration
and l wonder If there are Eve men
out Of the "a populists who will have
the moral courage to stand up and
vote for the best interest Of the state
when the roll is called oL the election
OF United States senator next month
or will the party.tie and lash be strong
enough to hold them in line, regard.
less OF the wishes and best interest
Of the people. If that is the meaning
they attach to the word Independent
then they must not be surprised to
find the end Of their party near at
hand. BY their fruits ye shall know
them. AFARMER.
