ALETTER FROM IOWA.
The Views of Veteran RefOrmer.

Editor RepreSentative.-My old friend, L
have just received bundle of your papers
which l shall place where Cakes Ames
placed the Pacific railroad bonds-''where
they will do the most good" l congratulate.
you on the formation of the Grain Growers
Association, and sincerely hope 1t will
arouse the farmers Of your state and unite
them, till it will spread over the union ana
arouse the farmers to assert their man
hood and make them the governing power
in the nation.
1t is a good time to stir them up. We
had a grand farmers organization in Iowa
20 years ago. The Grange was a power,
and the Farmers Alliance alive in every
county, but political bigCtry has wip ed 1t
out and the Republican party owns and
governs the state. They are all expansion
lists here, and even the Democrats have
swallowed it. We have assumed the old
cast-of buds of old England and as a ma
ton of serfs and bOndsmen must follow her
lead.
What a change has taken place since An
drew Jackson dictated to Nicholas Biddle
the suppression of the United States bank!
But what did it avail? The bank spawn has
penetrated every hole and corner of the
nation. At the close of his administration
we had the finest commercial navy that
ever hoated on the high seas, the American
clipper-built ships were the bellies Of the
ocean Where are they now? Why we are
paying British ships for carrying our mails
to Europe! Then they have bonded every
corner of the old republic and it absorbs all
our surplus produce, all the gold and silver
we have dug from our mines and what
is a thousand times worse, the independ-
ence and manhood Of our citizens, and we
are tagging after and assuming her eXplod-
ed theories.
We have her rejected tariff, her gold pay
ments, stamp act and now, forsooth, We
must adopt her penal colony system; only.
instead of banishing our criminals, we fill
the colonies with Office holders.
Now are those colonies to become states
and have senators, electors and represent
tatives to congress? New York and Ohio
will feel small to have only two electors
when Cuba etc, etc. Will send over as
many. Well. we must have a large army,
navy and a big debt to keep pace with old
England
But there is one point we excel her on,
and that Is taxation. Here is point that
the Farmers Alliance could stir up. Take
the evil of trusts alone. Why can't they
be taxed out of existence? Where a trust
claims to represent $l0O. 100000. tax that
amount whether real or fictitious. They
Here is a good starting point for you. and
YOU are the right man in the right place
to start the ball in motion
The case of the expulsion of F. NJ. Fair
child, mentioned in your paper ought to be
generally known throughout the nation. 1t
is proof positive that there is no safe
guard for the poor mans homestead The
courts are controlled by the monopolies.

and special privileges to none,

And in singing heard many an echo OF stralas

For weary this clamosous world to the lonely

Women Many Times Married.

There are some very remarkable in
stances Of people who have been mar
ried q large number Of times, and also
Of husbands and wives who have lived
together to an extraordinary age. st.
Jerome mentions q woman who mar
ried her twenty-second husband, who,
in his turn, had been married to 20
wives. There is an instance recorded
in Bordeaux, in 1T72, Of a man who
had been married 16 times. A woman
named Elizabeth Nase, who died In
Florence in 176S, had been married to
seven husbands, her last wedding TAX
ing place when she was 10 years Of
age
Numerous cases exist all over the
world Of people who have been mar
ried four five or six times. In 1768
couple was living In Essex who had
been married 81 years, the husband
being 1O7 years old and his wife only
four years younger. These cases are
also not isolated ones, and it is some
what remarkable that in most Of such
instances when one has died the sur
yiyor has died the next day.-Cincin-

QueerLittIe People.

The Eskimos who live on the west
coast of Greenland between Melville
bay and Kane basin are the most
northerly human beings on the face
of the globc,yan in many ways they
live almost like animals. Their only
property is clothing, weapons for the
chase and food, which consists entirely
Of meat, blubber and blood.
They have no vegetation Of any kind,
and not even q pinch Of salt. Lieuten-
ant Peary has this to say about these
queer little people: ."Is 1t to be Won
dered at tlat under these circum-
stances q man offered me his dogs
and sleds and all his furs for o piece
Of board as long as himself; that an
other offered me his wife and two
children for shining knife, and that
n woman offered me oil her possessions,
which she had collected for years, for a
needle?"
These people are very generous, and
all the game captured by hunter is
equally divided among all his neigh
bors. They have their own kind Of
athletic entertainment, too, which in-
cludes wrestling, boxing and tests OF
strength in the lifting Of heavy stones.
