What Farmer Thinks of Some Admin
istration Flim-Flams.
A genuine farmer who lives near
Washington City wrote letter to
Mr.. Mckinley the other day and
printed it in the Washington Post.
He wrote the following: ...,
Editor Post: While am letting nv
horse feed, + just thought I would
drop a line before started back to
my farm, to let your readers know
what We in the country think about
some things that are done by this
n Ns8dm1nistration. First, l want
ny thAt We farmers read the Post
~ We think it pretty good thing
ERiteh tell is pretty we'll set and
~ AL shsky. When we hitch to

I1nIa III .atop fhas We can see
svdxtk hitch to, and none of
Ithsse q t3ings" loosely held with a
fsfxple that will lullI out and let
fteam run away With a big load of
fruct. We like a paper that 3is will
|lingto BAY good things about any
party man when he talks to those
| Senstors, like Cannon and. Tillman
| did the other day about the farmers,
lind another thing-you give good,
| squ1re, talk to man who don't give
honess measure and is trying to de-
ceive US country fellows, who don't
have the time or money to spend on
q lobby. When we get up at 3
o'clock in the morning in order to
reach the market and sell to the
early customers, We as mighty glad
to get back home again as early as
possible, with the little money VIC
pick up to pay our taxes with. Now,
right here let me say to the Presi-
dent how we in the country look at
his action in sending Gen. Miles to
Europe, at the governments ex-
pense and paying 800 day to take
him across the ocean, besides the
texpenses of his companions. III
Now, Mr.. President, We don't like
to be considered stingy, and We will
| give, you all you can eat If YOU will
ride out to our farm; but we must
i remem Der that We are running On
Gle Sans house on borrowed money.
What would you think of our sense,
Mr.. President, if we country fellows
who are running our farms on Dor
4 rowed money should hire q coach
il drawn by four. horses and ride to
L market in e, eat style just ahead 'oi
! our two-horse truck wagon, contain
i ing box of eggs, bag of old 20
: tatoes, four and a half pounds Of
i butter. three chickens and a rooste,
: and q bawEng calf What good *
US farmers will be accomplished b,
sending Gen. Miles to Turkey ant
Greece? He may be of service to q!
if he brings . better breed of Turk
eyes with more greece on its bones
On bis triumphal ride home he is or
dereds to pay our respect to tn
1 Queen Of England There will ID
t one advantage in sending the Gen
t eral on that mission-there will no
be any dispute about what he mus
