WHO OWNS THE FARM,
A Problem for John Smith, In tho Wos
and William in tho East.

A Problem for John Smith, In tho West,
and William, in tho East.
John Smith has a farm out in Colo
rado. He has a warrantee deed. but he
is dependent ON an irrigation company
for water, and this costs 8 per acre
every year. His farm can be worked
only by him subject to that charge, and
the irrigation company is landlord No.
L He has to send his produce to mar
ket by rail. The average freight charges
are one-third of the value Of the prod
uce. His warrantee deed does not run
against the railway company, which ia
his landlord No. 3. He has to buy
groceries, clothing, implements, etc.
They come from distant markets at an
average freight charge Of 20 per cent,
which also goes to landlord No. 2.
The average tariff charges on Jokn
Smiths groceries, clothing, implements,
etc., would be about 40 per cent. If all
these things came from abroad. The
American manufacturers put their prices
a little lower to hold the market, so that
the tariff charge on the goods that he
buys averages about one-tmrd, and the
tariff is Johns landlord No. 8. Next
come the state and local politicians.
They have to be fed, and so while they
come after the irrigation company, the
railroad company and the tariff, their
title is absolute against John Smith, and
he will have to pay or be evicted by due
process of law. The local politician is
landlord No. 4.
John Smith borrowed some money at
10 per cent. and bonus with which to
make some needed improvements. For
this he gave mortgage on the whole
farm, and the mortgage, a man not to
be trifed with, is landlord No. 5. Now,
with the irrigation landlord taking s. an
acre, the railroad landlord taking one
third of what he. sells and one-ffth OF
what he buys, the tariff landlord taking
one-third of what he buys, the local pol
ttician dipping his hand into the remain
der and the mortgage taking 70 per
cent, it may be quite worth John
Smiths while to consider who owns the
farm. ..
John Smiths brother William re,
mains on the old homestead In ConnecH'
cut. He has no irrigation landlord to
pay, but his crops are less certain than
Johns. The landlord exacts 30 large q
share that he has to cut down an orchard
of grated fruit and convert it into q
meadow because he cannot afford ta
send apples sixty miles to New York, In
competition with those that come eoO
miles from the west. The state, county
and town landlords take portion each;
he has per cent. to pay on that mort,
gage he gave to John for his share of the
homestead, which John sold to James
Banker, and which Banker threatens to
foreclose because the farm is not worth
as much as it was then, and is growing
less valuable. William is careworn and
weary, but still he works early and late,
striving against the inevitable, and says
to himself 80 often that he really be.
Eeves it, II own the old homestead. -

Not al Indepenlent.

Jones, s. C., August 18th, IS95.
My Dear Sir On yesterday my friend, Mr..
j. G. Moore, informed me that my name was
on an opposition ticket 10 the Democratic
nominees for the Constitutional Convention.
No person approached me upon the subject,
consequently l do not know who assumed
the responsibility to place MY name upon
such ticket. Those who are acquainted
with me know my position in politics. Since
the March convention OF 1880 have been
identified with the Conservatives, but have
invariably yielded to the will OF the majority
and Loyalty supported the nominees of the
Democratic party. l participated in the re-
cent primary, was one of the managers, and,
or course, will vote the ticket.
VIII you please do me the kind favor to
publish the above in tomorrow's Press and
Banner? BY 80 doing you will greatly oblige.
Yours very truly, W. T. Jones.
