- say regarding the
farm.
In answer to the oft-repeated story
that farming does not pay" he says:
81 have traversed our state for twenty
five years. have seen thousands of poor
people that came in, many of whom
did not have decent suit of clothes for
even Sunday. I have again visited
them at their places after few years,
when 1 noticed a perceptabie change
for the better. And after few years
more, most of them were we'll To- do.
have visited hundreds of such places
and seen thousands of such people. be-
sides some exceptions. How many
hard working mechanics in large cities
can show such results? Farming not
profitable? Farmers generally have
plenty to eat, plenty TO wear and plenty
of work. The avBrage people of a
large city, hewever, very often have
neither one or the other, and generally
live from hand to mouth. If they have
no work for month or two they have
nothing to eat unless they onto debt.
Farming not profitableI What is prof
| ifol, r ho
perSsvered in?''
His comparison of city life is yet
more encouraging to those who may
have been inclined to find fault with
their lot on the farm.
Large cities are generally over.
crowded; for nearly every vacancy in
any line Of work there are dozens of
hungry applicants; everyone des:rous
of situation, has to run and beg for it
for weeks or months, and il he has AN
influential friend, he NAV ebe the lucky
one among dozen or two. who carries
off the prize. Philanthropic employers,
who desire to give work to every
worthy applicant, often have two or
three times the number OF workmen rel
quired, and il order to give employ
ment to as many as possible, they di-
vide the men into shifts, to work in
their turn; thus men often get only two
or three days of work in a week, even
IN the busiest season. as 1 have been
credibly informed. A month of occu-
patton is often followed by a two
months idleness, accompanied by the
tpangs of hunger"
This true pen picture ought to have
the effect of reconciling disaffected
! young men and women to life on the
farm-the best as vel. as the most in
dependent life one could choose.

WESTERN CONVENTIONS.
They Are Being Held I'm Montana and

HELENA, Mort, September 9.-The re-
publican state convention assembled at -
o'clock The cemotest and isolated coun-
ties are as completely represented as those
along the railroads. There are contesting
delegations from at least four counties, in
GLIDING Silver Bow.
Without the latter county the convention
seems to be divided pretty evenly before
the silver and Mckinley republicans
Senator Mantle. chairman of the state
&C Tmittee, will preside until temporary Or
ganiZation is effected. and the membership
may recognize credentials determnative of
the complexion Of the convention on the
start. A sharp and prolonged contention
is expected.
DENVER, Col, September Estate con-
ventions Of the silver party and the silver
wing of the republican party met here to-
day, and the populist state convention as
sembled al Pueblo.
The proposition Of the democrats, who
have already nominated a full state ticket
and appointed a committee fusion for a
combination of all supporters of Bryan and
Sewall in support of one state ticket, was
laid before each convention.
1t is proposed TO have each convention
nominate a fullticket, and then have a
joint ticket selected from among all the
rCminees by general committee composed
OF commit tees chosen by each convention.
