Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
New ORLEANS, Aug, 8, 1896.
Since Saturday last the cotton mar
ket has not only advanced, but fuct-
uations have been violent, the fact that
the market was oversold and to a large
extent at prices which discounted ex-
travagant crop conditions, coupled
with unfavorable reports created a
covering as we'll as a buying demand
and a week of buyers with no new sell
lers.
In so far a statistics are concerned
the market is and has been in a strong
position. A new and potent element
in the price Of farming products is the
financial question. Thus far it has
been used by Wall street to depress
prices, but if it becomes apparent that
b;metalIism will succeed and silver be
restored to its former psition an era
OF prosperity will prevail in agricul-
tural States that will cause a general
and d cided increase in values of all
kinds. The decline in silver bullion
has TT f2cted itself in low prices, and
has created a 200 cent dollar to the
capitalist and a SO cent dollar to the
farmer. We belIve in better prices
F~avOring this we believe in the restora,
tlon OF silver and its legitimate con-
sequence, and that Is betterm, Mt for
the masses and not for the classes.
The bureau of Monday is probably
discounted as much of crop complaint
is since the first of August.
YOus truly,
EDWIN r VIOLET.

RATES.

Elsewhere we publish an able and
instructive article on the necessity of
laws to reduce transportation charges.
The writer, Hon. Walter Clark, Asso
ciate Justice of our Supreme Court, has
has devoted much study to this qUes
ton, and no mar in the country is bet
ter qualified to discuss the matter.
If the great corporations continue to
aid in depressing the people, the heads
of these corporations may expect re
~sistance, and it is only a question OF
time when this resistance Will be tt9c
tive. J. Pierpont Morgan made enough
out Of the bond deals last year to buy
hundreds of miles of railroads and the
people have to foot the bill. After he
gets the railroads the people pay more
than they should, twice as much, per
haps, for transportation in the shape
of passenger fares and freight, and the
work of contraction goes on at the IN
stance of MI. Morgan and his kind.
The people cannot and will not stand it.
Human nature is so prone to evil
that the strong hand of the law must
be invoked. Any of us might do like
Mr.. Morgan and other miIlionaires If
we were so situated. The law had to
interfere years ago and fix the amount
of toll to be exacted when u grain
goes to the grist mills. This transpOr-
tation question is the next greatest
issue after the financial question, is a
part of it, in fact. Government con
troll or ownership of monopolies is a5so
lutely necessary. and will come.

THE STATE

This question has been fired at the
writer several hundred times during
the past two or three days: What do
you think of the work done by the
State Convention?'
The personnel of the ticket nominated
is good. 1t is a strong ticket, and the
platform is not bad. But we don't
know what is behind it, before it nor
around it. The whole thing is enveloped
in mystery.
We feel like telling an old story to
illustrate our position. Once upon a
time a man owned a steer. He wanted
to use a team one day, and hitched
himself to O wagon alongside Of
the steer. The steer became fright
ened and a away. As the curious
team was passing down the road at a
2:O4 gait a man cried out to the man
yoked with the steer Where are you
going2' Don't ak me-" said the man,
AK the steer"
OF course the above yarn is as old as
the hills. We are told hat Capt. Noah
used to kill time on rainy days by tell
ing the man and steer story to his
friends or that celebrated cruise in
search of a patch of earth. But the
application is new in this instance, and
we repeat, lax the steer"

ANOTHER SURPRISE PARTY.

The Republican Executive Commit
tee gave a surprise party in this city
Saturday by endorsing the following
candidates on the Populist State ticket:
Fer Lieutenant Governor, Oliver H.
Dockery, Treasurer, W. Il. Worth,
Secretary of State, DR.. Cyrus Tnomp-
son, Superintendent of Public Instruc
ton, Chas, H Mebane, Supreme Court
Judge, Walter A. Montgomery. This
leaves up three candidates for Cover
nor and three for Auditor, represent
ing three parties, but the fight on the
candidates named above will be be-
tween the Democrats and the Ropubli-
cans and Populists combined. This is
how it stands now. Next week it may
be some other way. Wait for the cleo,
ton.

by, the hundreds The streets OF New
York we're littarly covered with dead
horses for miles and miles. During
the early part of last week the horses
died 80 rapidly that they could not be
removed, though the sanitary force
was extra large. At n time the force
was three days behind in hauling out
the dead animals and the stencil be-
came sickening. Let us hope that we
will not experience such weather again.

USEFUL MILLIONAIRE.
Now and then you will find a mil
lionaire who devotes his talents and
his money to worthy causes. MIR.
Hearst. owner of the San Francisco
Examiner and the New York Journal,
is one of that few. He has made both
papers a great power, papers of, for,
and by the people. Now it is an
nounced that he will start q daily in
Chicago and lombard the forts of the
goldbugs and monopolists. The Chicago
Farmers Voice says:
Never since the Chicago Times passed
out of the hands of the sons of Garter
Harrison has there been a newspaper
in Chicago representative of the com
mon people. The Record opens it's
columns to free discussion, which is a
most worthy thing to do, but editor
tally it is silent on many things in
which the people seek information and
instruction-wOuld have the course
best 10 pursue pointed out TO them.
The announcement, therefore, that W.
+. Hearst, the owner both of the New
York Journal and the San Francisco
Examiner, is to begin at once the pub
LEGATION Of a Chicago newspaper de-
voted to the il terests of the nominees
and platform OF the Democratic party,
creates an interest which reaches far
beyond the limits of newspaperdOm.
Young Mr.. Hearst's experience il
Illustrates in a striking way the indd
ence upon the life and character Of a
purpose. The son of the late multi
millionaire and United States Senator
Hearst, of California, the young man
was reared in luxury and ease, and the
race track occupied much Of his time
and thought. Just as a boy would buy
a plaything the young man purchased
the Examiner. OnCe in the newspaper
field the young man began to see It's
limitless possibilities, and his position
sobered him and caused him seriously
to consider what hest he might do.
California is ,'oly ridden. That
octopus of the Pacific, the Southern
Pacific Railway Company, has for
years held the Golden state by the
throat, has stifed it's best expression
and suppressed its best development
Hearst and the Examiner attacked 1t,
the people came to Hearst's support,
and now the Examiner leads all other
journals on the coast, and Calls z.
Huntington and the gigantic monopoly
are like to be exterminated. That Is
but a brief statement Of a fight full OF
the romance t hard work, of struggle
agains5 a mighty and u~nscrupulous
foe, of millions spent to defeat honest
effort for the people, and the people
inanally triumphant.
Then when John Mclean had made
complete failure of his attempt to
build up the New York Journal, Mr..
Hearst relieved the Cincinnati man
and took the Journal for himself. He
called to his aid Willis John Abbott,
the able and fearless man who had for
years been the editorial head of the
old Chicago Times, and today the
Journal is one Of the greatest newspa,
pers in America, while its attitude
toward monopoly is one to give the
people courage. The announcement
that Mr. Abbott is to return to Chicago
and direct the policy of The E quirer,
is everywhere in the WIS., received
with pleasure, and both editor and
newspaper are assured in advance q
warm welcome.

DEBs FOR BRYAN AND WATSON.

Eugene V. Debs, President of the
American Railway Union, is for Bryan
and Watson. He says he is heartily
Satisfied with the choice of the man at
the head of the ticket, but cannot sup
port 5ewall, who should, of his own &C
cord, step aside in favor of Watson,
and thus win an Immortality of flame"
If the D amocrats," he says, fail to
concede the Vice Presidency to the
Populists, it will be a serious if not a
fatal blunder, and they must bear the
responsibility of it. There is a principle
involved which cannot be disregarded
without creating a rupture that will
endanger the success of the ticket"
D8bs expects that the organization Of
which he is the President will vote for
the St. Louis ticket. Upon this subject
he says:
The American Railway Union is in
politics. 1t proposes to take a hand in
this campaign. Committed by a unani
nous vote of it's delegates to the PEG
pies party, it pledges it's support to
Bryan and Watson and all other can
didates of that party. Whatever other
organizations may or may not do, they
propose to go into this political fight in
a solid body. They are after the gang
of corporation managers and political
hirelings who used the powers Of gov
eminent to Overwhelm them two years
ago. The members of the American
Railway Union know by bitter expert
nee what it is to keep out of politics.
With the election of such a man as
Bryan, a Caldwell will fad his way to
the Supreme Bench"
Doubtless the managers of most of
the railroads will endeavor to induce
their employees to vote for Mckinley,
not because their hearts are that way,
but owing to the fact that the money
power has control of the large railway
systems. However, threats will not
have much effect upon the members Of
the American Railway Union, for the
railways cannot dispense with their
trained conductors, engineers and other
employees, and if they attempt cOer-
cion the Union will put up a lively re-
sistance.
