Actual statistics do not sustain the
claim that the farmers of the West have
been losing rather than gaining during
the past fifteen years Wherever an in
vestigation has been made the facts OBJ
tanned show that the farmers have been
accommodating. rather than losing or
standing still.
In 1898 the Bureau OF Labor i'm Mime
sofa had its agents obtain data concern

tire State. Thus. reports were secured
from 1.555 farm-owners and 243 tenants.
The average number of years that farm
owners In question had been engaged
in farming in Minnesota was seventeen
and of tenants nine years. When these

The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1895-12-03

Several newspapers have found topics
for editorial comment in the recent mag
azine article of General Harrison. One
as a text reads: God has never en-
dowed any statesman or philosopher.
nor any body OF them. with wisdom
enough to form a system of government
that everybody can go off and leave"
The American people take great in
terest in politics periodically, and the
periods occur before elections The cleo
ton over, the mass of people "go off and
leave politics to the care of a few per-
sons. We are very much like a man
who, after purchasing a valuable stock
of goods and putting statesmen into the
store. refuses to participate further in
the business. Our politics centers too
much about the elections and the candi-
dates. The interest is in what is called
politics, rather than pubic affairs. There
is too great a tendency to confne poll
tics to the dispensing OF Offices and pat
ronage. Instead of being the accidents
or conditions of government, Offices are
often too much the main object to be
attained. A brilliant Republican leader
once said in public speech that If the
distribution Of Offices and the winning
Of the patronage of the government
were the main purposes of keeping up
party organization, he would retire to pri-
vate life at once. Too much OF the pub
lie attention is devoted to the place-get-
ting part of politics and too little to the
business and policies of government If
one were in Washington to-day he might
fairly conclude that the chief object
for which Congress has been established
IL to elect clerks, postmasters. sergeants-
alarms. etc.. to dispense places to appli-
cants whose excessive eagerness is seq
ond only TO their superfluous number.
What is needed in this country is that
every man and woman should take an
interest in politics or public affairs, in
order that We may have good govern
ment-an interest that will last through
out the year. that will take the best citi-
xens to the primaries and to the polls,
and cause them to- discuss all public
questions. General Harrison used a
happy expression when he said in that
article that We need Salvation Army
methods In our politics, the inspiration
of continuous sentiment and purpose.
a kind OF patriotism that is alert and
effective every day in the year. There is
no man 50 unworthy of the protection
of government as the self-sufIicient per-
son who cannot trouble himself with vot-
ing and politics. He is not SO deserving
of consideration as the person who at
taches himself to party for the same
reasons that other persons have fol-
lowed armies in the field

sions were valued at sf.239. 49S. or an av-
erage of $797 each. In 1898 their posses
sions were valued at ss.449.7o4. or an
average of $5,434 each. Thus, ii appears
that on an average these 1.555 farmers
in seventeen years increased their pos
sessions from s797 10 s5,434. In nine years
farm tenants have Increased their pos
sessions from an average OF $500 each to
an average of $1.254. If these figures do
not prove a general condition of pros
perity among farmers in Minnesota, it
will be difficult to find it in any branch
of business. Again. the aggregate in
debtedness of all OF these farmers was
s1,0os,754. or average of s649 each.
while their net possessions were valued
at $7.440.950. or $4.7S5 each. This goes to
prove that the doleful assertion that
farmers are dropping into helpless bank
ruptcy by the burden of increasing mort
cages is false.
There are other interesting facts in the
report. OF the 1.79S farmers visited only
seventeen had, by reason of debts and in
sufficient capital, dropped back from
farm ownership TO tenancy. while 2s5
had risen from tenancy To farm owner
ship after an average life of four years
as tenant. This goes to show that the
claim that farm tenancy is increasing
has no foundation except in the magma
ton Of the calamity-howling demagogue.
1t also appears that only thirty-one Of
the / $50 owners of farms. at some time in
their lives, had lost farm by mortgage
foreclosure. But even these were able
in short time to retrieve their fortunes
and regain their earlier place as farm
owners. Furthermore. it was discovered
that the American-born farmer succeeds
considerably better than any body of
newcomers from Europe.
Minnesota is not so much more ia
vorably situated in regard to soil, climate
and markets as to make it an exception
In fact, all things considered, Indiana is
more fayorably located for general agri-
culture and in regard to markets
than is Minnesota. There is good
reason TO believe that If the same
careful investigation were made in rep
resentative townships of Indiana the
same facts would be brought to light
regarding the general sound condition Of
those who till it's soil.
