Where il thy presence hid?
We wait thy coming, ere we think.
Thou art numbered with the dead.
We miss thy cheerful presence
There is a vacant chair
Thou art absent from thy friends
And freed from every care.
We have laid our friend, sleeping,
Beside her sister dear:
They both have journeyed homeward,
Within a few silent years
We cherish our friends here
Their bodies in the dust.
Their spirits are with God who gave
We know that he is just.

ADVICE TO FARMERS.
BY II. III. Carr q Co., the Farmers Com.
mission House.

mission House.
n We are In the midst of an exciting
political campaign: the great cities
are stirred by monster demonstrations.
The great orators hold forth every
night in halls, wigWams. and tents. TO
litical leaders are busy hguring Out the
result in advance of the election. Thou
sands of men in the employ of the ma
tional committees are ascertalnlng as
near as possible how each city waro,
how each branch of organized labor
how each city will vote. One thing no
man, no set of men, no campaign COM
mittee. no political party can tell In
advance. that is, how the farmers of
the country will vote. The one great
question to-day is: How do the farm
ers feel about 1t? We mention TINS
only to illustrate point in practical
business matters.
Agricultural workers are learning
their power in politics. They can make
or unmake state legislatures. They DO
It by initiating the methods of labor
in cities, by working together. They
do not need local unions. They can
work in our grand intellectual union
for their common good. They nave
done 1t in demanding legislation. They
are doing it now in way that makes
leaders tremble. They will act more
intelligently and united in the future.
They find other things than politics to
call for their decision. They produce
what the world needs. They are study
ing new methods Of giving the fruit or
their labors to the world. Recently an
army of 100000 men marched through
Chicago's streets celebrating the TWEEN
ty-ffth anniversary of the great f1re.
The farmers have for years fed much
greater army; not only fed. but made
rich, presented with grain elevators,
private banks. fine houses, costly lux
uries. the old-time. ever-present army
of middIemen. But there is revolt
against dividing profits with this army
between the farm and the worlds big
markets.
This independent action began with
this pioneer farmers commission house.
II Is assuming proportions which make
the easy money-makers professional
shippers) at the stations over dozen
states tributary to Chicago tremble.
The question: What are the farmers
going to dor bothers not politicians
alone but all those who have been
getting something for nothing. Farm
ers are going to ship their own grain
mot a few or a hundred. but an army
OF thousands. They know how, they
have tried it, it pays. That is one
question answered by farmers.
See what few farmers say who
have tried shipping:
