The American Farmer.
The Oldest Agricultural Paper in
America.
Published at 1929 New York
Avenue. Washington, D. c.
Price, only so Cents a Year.

THE AMERICAN FARMER is q great Ma
tional agricultural paper. 1t eireulates in
every part of the country, and represents the
interests of all the farmers in the Nation.
Being located at the seat of Government
and the only agricultural paper that is
1t has special facilities for getting informa-
ton of real interest TO all farmers of all that
goes on affecting them in Congress, OF in
any of the Departments of the Governments.
This will be OF particular importance to all
farmers this Winter, when there will be
prolonged and bitter struggle in Congress
over the policy of protecting farm products.
THE AMERICAN FARMER isson the side of
the farmers, and bitterly hostile to the an
nOunced program of placing wool on the
free list, and reducing the duties on other
agricultural products. 1t denOunces this as
making the farmers bear the greatest part Of
the weight of the alleged tariff reform, and
protests against this sacrifice OF the farmers
in favor of other interests. Every one who
favors justice and right TO farmers and
not political buncombe, should rally to
its support and give it the utmost strength
by doing what they can to extend its circula-
ton.
Now is the time to do this before Con-
gress takes up the wool and farming products
SfutuuIeS.
The paper is a large eight-page quarto,
printed In large type, on fine white paper,
and plentifully illustrated. 1t is filed with
matter of great practical interest to all
farmers.
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE will be sent
with The american Farmer for one year for
SIPS. Present subscribers to THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE can have The American Farmer
for one year by sending % cents additional.

THERE is a glimmer of hope that the Will
son Bill is being designediy made as bad
possible. so as to secure It's final deieaf. The
obnoxious free wool and free sugar clauses
have been adopted, and bow it IS likely that
the income-tax bill Will he added to it to
make sure of its overthrow. This seems
reasonable. Not a man in either Senate or
House approves of it as a whole. Ali are
vloently opposed to some sections, aud I'M
less the party whip and Presidential patron
age are used remorselessly, it cannot go
through. In the meantime, the thick-and-
thin cuckoo element seems to be losing
strength.

This is great country, filled with active,
determined people, who make the most of
whatever circumstances they find them
selves in. Even the enormous infiction Of
such abominable legislation as the Wilson
Bill cannot keep them permanently idle,
and there comes from all parts of the country
gratifying reports of revival of business.
The improvement 80 far is very slight, but
it is an improvement, nevertheless. Spring
is coming, when all men feel that they must
do something, and it is this force which will
counteract and partially overcome the dread
of vicious legislation. Had it not been for
the threat of this legislation, the revival
would have come last September. Fear of
what Congress might do kept men from re-
arranging their business after the panic and
starting out anew. They have waited ever
since for something definite to be done.
Now they feel that they cannot wait any
longer. They must do something, even
though they must skirt slowly along the
shore, with only storm-sails set.

LOUISVILLE WANTS THE NATIONAL EN-
GAMpMEST


Louisville, KY, wants the National En-
campment for 1896, and is making a vigorous
canvass for it. She has strong attractions
to offer. She was outspokenly loyal in The
troublous days of 1861, and from her gates
the grand old Army of the Cumberland
started on its four years of fighting and
victory.
Louisville is city of beautiful homes and
hospitable people. Including suburbs it has
225000 people. just across the Ohio are
Jacksonville and New Albany, with 65 900
more. Louisville is very accessible to the
great mass Of the comrades, as probably one
half of them live within ~ hours ride of the
city. Very many of the great battlefields of
the Armies Of the Cumberland and Tennes-
see are but short journeys from the city.
If the National Encampment should de-
eide to go to Louisville, we can assure to it
an entertainment second to none that it has
ever enjoyed.
