WHERE WE ARE AT.

It is a sad fact that the very men
who have produced the stupendOus
wealth, which has been so vividly pOr
trayed to us through the press and
from the platform for political pur-
poses, are, as a class, living from hand
to mouth, as it were, and are obliged
to market their produce as soon as
harvested. Some sell it before it IS
harvested regardless Of price, in order
to meet the exOrbitant and ruin0us
rates of interest on their mortgages,
pay their taxes and procure the few
necessities Of life to carry them along
until another crop is raised.
With all our bOasted prosperity,
should the Almighty withhold one
seasons rain and sunshine we would
speedily become 4 nation of lords and
serfs instead of independent American
freemen. Upon'tbe husbandry depend
all other industries, and when that
fails we'll may we begin to ask ourselves
" Where are we at?" The manipulatOrs
of our national finances have played
their part so well as to fill their own
vaults with STANDARD values, while
the real producers Of the country are
left to hold the empty paper bags.
We have reached such pass that some
one must disgorge, either directly or
indirectly, and the ruinous rates of IN
terest now charged on securities that
have proven to be the very best must
come down to a level with that Of other
first class securities if the farmer may
hope to live ard prosper.
Our financial policy has been framed
by and for financial men. and we have
been dictated to by English and Wall
street gold bugs" until our toiling,
contiding public have almost been
driven onto the rocks. High rates OF
interest through a limited currency
have almost killed our commerce, rob
bed the eastern States of their once
fertile soil, and are fast bleeding each
of our middle and western States at the
rate of twelve to fifteen millions of dol
lars annually.

SUPREME ARROGANCE.

A Topeka banker, full of bluff and
sWagger, and with the imperious airs
OF a lord, called upon Governor Lew
elling few days after his inauguration
and IN tone that amounted to a de
mand, made inquiry as to the policy of
the new administration, and declared
that his bank was. not lOaning a. dollar
and would not until the safety Of the
new admlnistratiOn-in a financial
sense, could be assured. The writer
has known this pOmpous would be
money baron for more than twenty
years. His arrogant assumption on
this occasion is characteristic of a man
whose neck sWells like that Of Dur
ham bull. We refer to this matter to
show the autocratic insolence of capi-
tall In and the readiness with which it
arrogates to itself superior claims to
recognition over all other interests.
The bankers and real estate sharks are
taking a hand in the big game Of bluff
now trying to be played by pluto ;racy
on the people Of Kansas. Bankers are
declaring they will take no risks, that
eastern capitalists are timid, etc, etc.
Real estate sharks declare land values
are disturbed, and a great deal of other
rot which is simply talk from the
teeth out The people Of the State
have come to understand these fellows
too well to be deceived by them any
longer, and they are going for ward

100000 PER DEATH.

Two days of the time Of both Houses
last mouth was lost because of the
death Of Senator Kenna, of West VIr
ginia. Ii is @ very expensive business
to the people when a member Of Con
gress dies during the session. The daily
expenses of a session amounts to $28, 600
and the two days that we're lost on &C
count of the death of Mr.. Kenna foot
up to $56, 600. But in addition to that,
Congress pays the expenses of the
funeral. These expenses run as high
as $25, 900.
In the case of the death Of Senator
Plumb, Congress paid for transporta-
tiOn expenses alone, on account of his
funeral, the sum Of $1,543, and the
other expenses amounted to over 81, 900
more. But that is by no means all of
the expenses. The report of the public
printer, just issued from the govern
ment printing Office, shows that merely
the cost of printing the eulogies deiiv-
cred in Congress on the late S. S. Cox,
of New York, was SO, ,842, exclusive Of
the cost of distribution. But day was
wasted when the eulOgies were deliv-
cred. Then, in addition, Congress ap-
prOgriated to the heirs Of the deceased
the remainder Of his salary for the term
Notwithstanding that another Senator
was appointed who draws a salary.
Figuring up these various amounts we
have three days time lost tone when
Congress adjourns on the day of the
death, second, day for the funeral,
and third, day for the eulogies.
This amounts to $84 900. If the
printing Of the oulogies should amount
to as much as in the case of Mr.. Cox,
that would bring the cost to $94 812
Adding the funeral and other expenses
and the total will not be les than $780,
900 as the tax imposed upon the people
because a man dies while he is a mem
Der of Congress. Considering that there
were fourteen deaths in one Congress,
some appreciation can be had of the
reckless waste Of public money i'll this

The HONEST LEGISLATOR.

A recent issue Of the Biblical Re
cOrder contained the following editorial,
which makes good reading for mem
bers Of the legislature:
"The honest legislator who desires
to conserve the interests of his cOnStit
uents, deserves the sympathy of all
good people. On the one hand there is
the pressure Of the taxpayers enjOin-
ing him against eXtravagant apprO
priations, and on the other hand are
the ardent and enthusiastic advocates
of each separate measure setting forth
the imperative needs Of his object. But
there are some things that every mem
Der of the legislature ought to keep con-
stantly before his eyes, one Of which Is
that many Of these earnest pleaders
have no interest in the measures except
for the pay they get for their pleadings.
"When these paid agents of rich
corporations come with their - =
songs they ought to pass by the ear as
quickly as the breezes. And when
some heavy salariel officers of such
corporations come with their pathetic
and intensely patriotic addresses, there
ought to rise up alongside Of them the
the thousands Of poor tax payers who
have not one cent to spare from the
direct necess aries Oflife many of whom
are deprived of sleep on account of
their very homes and means of living
Oe1ng under mortgage, while they are
unable to redeem them. Another view
IN the scene ought not to be left out
that few of these are richly paid en-

for these patriotic measures than the

HEAD OF PONGO, n. G.
Mr.. EDITOR:-If upon questions of
public concern affecting alike the in
terests of all an unrestricted discussion
is admissible, beg leave to be heard
upon the bill now before the legislature
known as the banking bill. The fnan
cial que tiOn is by no means perspiG
uous, It is a subject that has never at
tracted much attention; its workings
have been kept within the bounds Of
ObscuTity; however, by the influence
Of the Alliance, and with the infOrma
tion obtained by reading the reform
papers. the people are bf coming famil
lar with this question. and the more
they study it the more they understand
it.
Previous to August, 1892, I knew no
more about the money question than a
goose did mathematics, and claim to
know but little yet. In August last I
read my first copy of THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER, and by diligent perusal Of its
columns learned more of the history
Of the country and the financial QueS
tions than all the time intervening be
tween that time and my first rec0llec-
tio2. As I have already said, claim
to know but little about the money

principles, I have discovered this: {:
When there is one bale of cotton on
the market, and $50 to be expended
for cotton, that the price is 10 cents
per pound for the cotton, and if by
chance that currency gets curtailed,
one half the price of the cotton will
decrease correspondingly. Butthis is dl-
crossing from the subject of my letter.
I wish to get at the real merits OF the
bill. If l understand it, its object is
to get in circulation a money based
upon bonds deposited with the State
Treasurer. AS I have already ntl,
mated, I have had little concention OF
financial affairs, though, have han
