Farm Changes in illinois.

An anomalous state of affairs is re-
ported in the farming communities of
the state of Illinois. Prospects are en-
courag ing, crops have been compare
lively satisfactory of late, and farming
lands are steadily increasing in value;
yet thrifty and well-to-do land owners,
as we'll as tenant farmers, are moving
by scores to Iowa, Nebraska and other
western states. The movement, which
has been steadily gro wing for years, is
looked upon with some anxiety be-
cause of the uncertainty as to what
the ultimate result will be-
The introduction of improved me-
thods of farming by the use of ma
chinery of various kinds has made it
possible for man with means and en-
ergy to cultivate large tracts-acres
by the hundred. Alongside this is an
other acre-mOnopolizing tendency on
the part of mOneyed men to buy up
desirable lands and rent them out.
These landlords are always ready to
add to their holdings, but seldom will
ing to sell at reasonable figure.
These two tendencies make the lot of
the small land owner less desirable
than was the case in former years. If
the small holder wishes to add to his
acres. he finds it quite impossible from
lack of means to do so from adjoining
farms, and Oftentlmes from any other
land within reasonable distance, at
price within his reach. If, however,
he goes to Iowa. Kansas, Nebraska, or
other western states. he finds that he
can probably buy five acres for the
same amount of money that one would
cost in Illinois, and with as many &C
res ut his command as he wishes for,
and he finds further that these new
acres are as productive as his cid ones.
that it costs no more to grow his crops.
and that transportation rates to market
are not appreciably greater. From
this point of view the farmer. especi-
ally if he has some means, is better off
if he leaves Illinois and goes to state
farther west than he would be were he
TO remain on his old farm.
The cause of the movement west

is not due to worked-out lands, OPP

pressive laws, or other such causes, as
much to the improved methods of
transportation which practically an
initiate distance But while this west
ward tendency may be beneficial
thing to those farmers who participate
in it, what will be the result in the
state of Illinois, which they leave?
In the case of tenant farmer the
probability is that another tenant
farmer will take his place, although
this latter in all probability will be of
foreign birth. while the former is more
likely of American birth. Land own
ers who leave Illinois to push westward
sell their holdings largely to adjoining
farmers who have the means TO extend
their acreage and who propose: to do
farming on a more extensive scale, OF
to landed proprietors who succeed the
Independent farmer with the tenant
farmer.
The question is an old one in Illinois
and has had public attention drawn to
it at several periods since the organi-
cation OF the state, but it is now assum-
ing a serious phase. The situation is
quite different flom what it is in New
England. where farms have been aban-
doned for lack of fertility Scientific

The financial policy, inaugurated by
bankrupt Foster and now executed by
Cleveland is delightful (?) system to
look over. The figures given below

in the Financial Record. In 1850, all
Europe had a circulation of 1855, 900,
900 in paper in excess of their metallic
reserve. In 1860. it had more than
doubled; in 1870. had risen to 81, 2I5,-
600, 600; IN 1880, to 81, 45S, OOO, 900 in
1890, to $1.754, 0O0,OOO. In 1890,
European banks had only 1854, OOO,-
900 in gold. Deduct 1924, 900, 900 held

Excluding France, which recognizes
silver as a debt paying money, the
paper notes aggregated 50. 1862, 900, 900
while the banks held $3.50, 000,O00 in
gold to redeem them. The struggle
now in process, in which the Harrison
Cleveland administrations have forced
the United States to take hand, is
not a mere commercial rivalry. It
goes further and strikes deeper 1t is
in the nature of a contest against the
forces OF bankruptcy. How is this con-
test brought about? The individual

what is the Matter.

People are inquiring what is the
cause of the financial stress that the
country is feeling at present, and the
cause of business and bank failures.
Foster attributed his failure to the
tightness of the money market, or in
other words to the scarcity of money.
This is directly contradictory of his
published statement, while secretary
of the treasury, showing that we have
more money in circulation per capita
than even in war times. His report
as secretary of the treasury was false,
his report of the cause of his business
failure is true. In II months of the
year last passed there was over $685.
00O,0 contraction of the currency.
and ia the month of May, 1898, there
was $4,000, 900 contraction. For the
past year gold has been leaving the
country amid in II months probably
$50, 10000 has left the country in ex-
cess of all income of the same. So
pronounced has been this drain that
the Uunited States treasury has felt
the strain and western banks have
been called upon to assist in maintain
ing the treasury gold reserve to $780,
900, 900, which had fallen below that
point All this time the administra-
ton of national finance has chung to
the gold-bug theory, and ceasing to
coin silver has brought pressure to
bear to repeal the Sherman bullion
purchase law, and persisted in paying
out gold in the redemption of silver
certificates The gold export con-
tinues. caused, we believe. by con-
spiracy of the gold bugs of Europe
and America, to purposely create a
panic and thus prejudice the people
against a return to free coinage.
"Rule or ruin" is their motto In
the mean time. with an adverse crop
report, wheat has declined and farm
ers. holders of wheat and holders of
options, have lost heavily.
Republican papers are trying to
make 1t appear that the financial stress
is caused by the lack of confidence in
the democratic administration of Presi-
dent Cleveland. 1t is not the cause
any farther than his administration
has copied after and followed in the
footsteps of his predecessor. Both are
goldbug and adhere to the single money
standard The fact is the people have
lost confidence in both old parties as
far as their financial policy is con-
cerned. The people are demanding a
return to bimetalic standard, and an
increase of the volume of money in
circulation The day of reckoning has
come, the robbery of the people for
years to enrich the few has born it's
fruit. Farther extortion is attempted
and political cataclysm is sure to
follow in the ensuing elections. The
much abused calamity bowlers have
proved to be prophets of the Lord, and
the predicted disaster is here. How
long. Lord, how long! When will
the people of this country awake to
the situation and cast their political
idols to the wolves and the bats.

recognition of silver as debt paying
metal. this country has managed to
escape the stagnation of depression
that is driving the starving population
of the single gold standard nations
into anarchy and socialism. but the
Republican-Democratic policy of re-
deeming the silver notes in gold has
demonetized our silver dollars. and
the people who backed them with
their notes along with those who did
not, will have an opportunity of fac

transfer of Wisconsin from the Repub-
lican to the Democratic column, all
went to prove the adverse sentiment
in the west to the Mckinley bill. The
party which suffered these severe re-
verses realizes that something must be
done to regain its lost prestige in the
agricultural sections, and this doubt
less furnishes an explanation Of the
establishment of headquarters at Chi
cago. 1t is the manifest purpose to
seek by organization to reclaim the
west, but this can never be done as
long as that section Is devoted to agri-
culture, and as long as the Republi-
cans adhere to the fallacy of protec-
ton. The farmers have sized up Nc

Second-I have no confidence what
ever in the opinions of your prominent

be right.
Third-The Sherman law has not
caused the present financial troubles,
and its repeal will have no such result
as they assume.
Fourth-We neither want or need

stroy silver as money and should be
Immediately repealed, provided proper

We recently heard an old soldier, a
citizen of Sherman county say Zone OF
the most sacred obligations of an
American citizen is the intelligent and
conscientious exercise of the right OF
suffrage" We fully agreed with him.
James B. Weaver said in the great
quadrauqular debate:
A man who is not as religious at
his ballot box as he is at the sacramen-
mental board is an arrant hypocrite,
and do not care what church it is
that he belongs to.
The idea of being sanctifed at
churches and the same time a yoke fell
low with the devil on election day. ]
would rather you would play the devil
364 days in the year and then join the
army of Christ on election day. All,
my brethren! this relation of man to
man is sacred matter. The question
asked by Cain, the murderer. was,
''Am my brothers keeper" must be
answered right the world over.
When the people awake fully to the
call of conscience and vote right all
will be we'll. 1.-The injury of one is
